aud treaty of amity aud peace between them
and the United States Government" Any
dictation on your part-whiie armed with
such a platform, is preposterous. You can
come into the Democratic ranks upon Con
stitutional aud Union platform, like sensible
men who love their country and would have it
respected and honored among the nations of
the earth, or stick to your " anti coercion" and
recognition platform with the stubbornness
of asses. We should be pleased to see every
one sustain with all bis might and intelligence
the laws and Constitution of our country, but
it is great consolation to know that it will
make no difference in the general result, wheih-
er the late Mcdonnell party drop their organi-
cation and join the Democracy. There are
patriots enough to save the country, and per-
nit that little crowd of dictatorial magnants
to do their worst. Respect fer themselves
and for their children who are to succeed them
ought 10 induce them to be patriots instead OF
traitors. But " bile in" Don't be coerced
into the Democratic organization. Commit
suicide first, and thus convince the world that
you consider Mohamet a fool for going to the
mountain because the mountain would not
come to him.


Badinage aside, however, and we will ask
the Express TO give its benighted and deceived
readers the platform adopted by the Democrat
ic State Convention of Rhode Island. That
platform suits us. 1t is the position of the
National Democracy. The opposition to it in
that State will not amount to an issue All
who are Americans at heart will stand by its
declarations. It has none of the vlndictvencss
and fallacies of the Indiana and New Hamp-
shire platforms. viii the Express publish the
Rhode Island platform, together with lis views

STAMP TAx.-Put on the stamp tax. and let
the press of the country be crushed with all
the other enterprises OF the day Express


Some people set their affections on a partic-
ular object, and when that fails, it seems to
them that all is lost. The Express is evidently
endeavoring to assume patiotism that it feels
not and is clamoring for tax to be laid on
newspapers that will crush them ont with all
the other enterprises Of the day The only
enterprise that is being crushed out is rebellion
and treason but that, we suppose, constitutes
everything in the estimation of the Express


Why should the press not be taxed 1t en-

breathe syllable in favor of the flag of our

announcing that they /" have no wish for the

tribute something in support of the Constitu-

CRME-During the past month. one horrible
murder was committed at Morriss Ravine. and
two attempts at murder have been made in
this county. Such evidence of awless dep7ayi-
ty in our midst is indeed deplorable and it be-
hooves our authorities TO arouse the public
feeling to a more healthy and liberal action
The people of Butte county are not commu-
nifty of murderers, and such an impression
should not be suffered TO go abroad over the
land. If there are bad men in our midst. let
them be fairly and legally tried, and promptly
punished as the law directs. The record Of
crime in this county during the last month, is
shame and disgrace upon our civilization.


FoUNp DEAD.-An old Frenchman named
Jules Chateaux, living near Garden Ranch
went out hunting on Thursday, and not return
ing at night, search was made for him ard he
was found dead. He had been in feeble health
for some time. He had been a captain in the
French army.

Reservoir House. above Fences Ranch Ia

that followed their meeting, Smith asserted
that he could whip any three Union men in
the country. Scott emphatically and some

Fences Ranch, AMI after relating the circum-
stances, informed MIR. Pence that bis wife and
daughters had died since his arrival in this
country, that be bad but two sons. and they
were both in the Union army, aud that he
should hereafter feel it his duty to whip every
treasonab,e SeeeSSionist who did not like him
or his Union sentiments, particularly those who
were constantly blowing of their ability to
handle countless numbers of Union men,
Scott supported Breckenridge, but refused to
follow him in his overt acts of treason.

THE WAR TAx.-There has been perfect
child's play in the Legislature in regard to the
payment of the war tax, and more picayuneish-
ness displayed than we ever thought men capa-
Bile Of. Instead of coming out bodily and voting
upon decided plan to raise money for the pur-
pose intended, every one OF the rising statesmen
Of the age, particularly in the House, has halt
ed between two opinions in regard to the mat
ter; one being an i'll defined opinion of his
own and the other an idea Of "any other man."
1t does seem as il California sinks lower and
lower in regard 10 her business matters in con-
nection with the Federal Government, and yet
for the very little she has done since the war
commenced, she has received more in proper
tion than any other State. All the useless talk
consumed in discussing how and when Califcr-
MAS proportion should be paid, has cost the
State more money than the l5 per cent allowed
for it's collection would come to. The State
has assumed the payment of the tax, now let it
be paid, and with some sort OF grace, so that
the Home Government will not be'placed in the
position Of suppliant to a portion of the
Union it has done so much for.-[Spirt of the

NOVEL MODE OF CARRIING, TUE MALL
The following is said to be The plan by
which communication along the Potomac
is occasionally effected between Maryland
ers and Virgiuians:


A large kite is made, and, instead Of paper,
is covered with oil silk, so as to render it imper
yious to water. The tail is formed by folding
letters or newspapers together, and tying them
with loop knot, each letter, or perhaps two
letters together, forming bob. When the tail
is as heavy as the kite can conveniently bear
up under, cord long enough to reach about
two-thirds of the way across the river, is at
tached, and the kite raised in the air. After
the kite has exhausted the string, or has reach
ed sufficient height, the cord is cut, and the
concern, gradually descending, is borne by the
breeze to the Virginia shore, where the bobs
are taken Oft by those in waiting, and new ones
for their sympathising friends in Marylund tied
on in their stead. With the first favorable
wind, back comes the kite to the MARYLAND
shore, and vice versa.

sg- Civilization begins to dawn again
over the Northern people so long blinded
by disappointment and fierce passions
The following from the True Delta will
be grateful intelligence to many true
hearted men and women in our midst,
who have always had our warmest sym
pathy:


CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE NORTH
We see it announced in our Richmond
exchanges that, by the flag of truce which
leaves Norfolk almost daily for Fortress
Monroe, persons in the South may COM
municate with the North. All letters are
carefully examined both by the Confede-
rate and United States officers. All ref
erence to political or military affairs must
be carefully avoided, aud an enclosure of
three or five cents made to secure trans
mission. The outside address of the
epistle should be, "via Norfolk and flag
of truce


This is as it should be. We have our
selves no relation of Northern birth That
is accident. Many amongst us have pa
rents, brothers, sisters, lovers mayhap;
ar d friends all of us have there. They
have never personally injured us, and are
not blameable for the iniquity of rulers,
whom they could not control. Their
hearts perhaps are bowed down with a
sorrow greater than ours. Deeper waters
may have gone over their souls. We can
not dissolve our natural ties with the in-
nocent. God forbid that to human ma
tureI We wish to be patriotic. That is
our duty. If our brother stood before us
IN martial array, against the liberties of
our country, we would renounce him. If
he we're himself afflicted by our dissen-
sions, and took no active part for his gov
ernment, his place in cur heart would be
as warm as ever. We would wish to hear
of his fortunes, to sympathize with his
grlefs, to rejoice In his happiness, to as
sure him of our affection We have new
er doubted the devotion of our citizens of
Northern birth, to the cause of the South.
They are one and the same with us. We
are glad to crafty them in the indulgence
Of social aud family affections This is
the hopefulest sign in the war.

sss A large meeting of the citizens Of
New Orleans Cat which Col. Andrew Err
win, we'll known to many of our citizens,
presided) was held at the ST. Charles
Hotel, upon the reception of the news OF
the death Of Zollicoffer, for the purpose of
giving expression to their sorrow, and to
pay tribute of respect to his memory.
He was well known there, as indeed his
active usefulness through life had made
him we'll known every where. Whether
as an humble printers boy-a scarcely
less humble editor-in his high official
positions in the State of Tennessee-as a
soldier In the Florida war-as member
of the old Federal Congress, everywhere !;
his calm cool judgment, his brave and in
flexible force of character, his eminent
talents, his genial disposition and b S
pure life, made him one to be marked and
admired.


The crowning act of his life was the
pacifcation of East Tennessee No other
man alive could have exercised the cauti-
Gus prudence, and firm conduct, which
eventuated in quelling the rampant trea-
son Of people who almost belonged heart
and soul to the arch traitor johnson
Zoilcoffer defeated his plans, and brought
Tennessee right. He raised, and discip-
lined, and commanded the best army of
equal size, perhaps, in the war, and Held
Eastern Kentucky firmly, as protection
to all our means of communication into
Virginia. But the " West Pointer" had
to be provided for, and he was put in
command Zollicoffer was soldier and
knew soldiers duty He demonstrated
but would net disobey the command of his
superior, and knew his country needed his
services too much to allow him to resign.
And thus it all came to pass West

ilhlstrious name in the South, if any .hinc
may be prophesied from his earliest steps
We learn from those who profess to know,
that it is his iDteution to keep at home

river, until an ample force is secured to

desirable) to make a concerted movement

We also learn from private source,
that 1t is not the intention of Genl. Van
Dcrn to interfere in any peremptory man
ner with the authority of Genl Price of
Missouri, whose command is altogether
separate and independents; but, for the
common good, to visit Gen Price in person,
confer with him freely; and concert plans
Of mutual co operation. If this be SO we
look upon the West as safe. The high
character and military experience of Gen.
Van Dorm, enables any subordinate officer
to retain his position without compromise
of his self-respect, and We hope much from
his influence in allaying the jealousies and
bitter feelings which are beginning to as
sumo an aspect in the West, dangerous to
the public service aud our common safety.


May Providence direct the hearts and
arms of men, to secure us Missouri All
personal feelings should be laid aside on
the altar of country. Let there be glo-
rious holocaust of all of them. AS We

The spring-time came--But not with mirth--


The banner of our trust,
And with it the best hopes CT earth,
We're trailing in the dust.
The farmer saw the shame from far,


And stopped his plow afeld;
Not the blade of peace, but the brand Of war


This arm of mine must WELD.
When traitor hands that flag would stain,


Their homes let women keep;
Until its stars burn bright again,


Let others sow and reap.
The farmer sighed--s:A lifetime long


The plow has been my trust;
In truth II were an arrant wrong


To leave it now to rust"
With ready strength the farmer tore
| The iron from the wood.
And to the village smith he bore


That plow-share stout and good.
The blacksmiths arms were bare and brown,
! And loud the bellows roared;
The farmer flung his plow-share down
"Now forge me out a sword"
And then merry, merry chime
| The sounding anvil rung,
Good sooth, it was nobler rhyme


Than ever poet sung.
The blacksmith wrought with skill that day,
The blade was keen and bright,
And now where thickest is the fray
The farmer leads the fight
Not as of old that blade he sways
To break the meadows Sleep
But through the rebel ranks he lays
A farrow broad and deep.
The farmers face is burned and brown,


But light is on his brow;
Right well he wots what blessings crown
The furrow of the plow
"But better is to-day's success"
Thus ran the farmers word
'For nations yet unborn shall bless


This furrow of the Sword"

to have plate of something nice waiting on
