The following are the memorable words
of Jackson's Proclamation in 1882. Hear
the Sage and Hero of the Hermitage, ye
patriotic men Of Tennessee:


No act of violent opposition to the laws
has yet been committed; but such a state
OF things is hourly apprehended, and it is
the intent OF this instrument to proclaim,
not only that the duty imposed upon me
by the Constitution, to take care that the


laws be faithfully executed, shall be per-
formed TO the. extent of the powers al
ready vested in me by law, or OF such
other as the wisdom of Congress shall de-
sire and entrust to me for that purpose,
but to warn the citizens of South Carolina,
who have been deluded into an .opposi-
ton to the leN,gof the danger they will
incur by obedience to the illegal and dis
organizing ordinance Of the Convention
= = x The laws of the United States
must be executed. have no discretionary
power on the subject My duty is en-
phatically pronounced in the Constitu-
ton. Those who told you that you might
peaceably prevent their execution deciev-
cd you. They could not have been de-
ceived themselves; they know that a for
cible opposition could alone prevent the
execution OF the laws, and they know
that such opposition must be repelled.-
Their object is disunion. But be not de-
ceived by names. Disunion by armed
force is TREASON. Are you ready to incur
its guilt? lfyou are, on the heads of the
instlgators OF the act be the dreadful con-
sequences; but on yours may fall the pun
ishment. On your unhappy State will
inevitably fall all the evils of the conflict
you force upon the Government of your
country. 1t cannot acccde TO the mad
project of disunion, of which you would
be the first victims. Its first Magistrate
cannot, if he would, avoid the performance
of his duty. The consequence must be
fearful for you, distressing to your fellow
citizens here, and to the friends Of good
government throughout the world. = =
Snatch from the archives Of your State
the disorgarizing edict Of its Convention;
bid the members to re-assemble and pro-
mulgate the decided expressions Of your
will to remain in the faith which alone
can conduct you to safety, prosperity and
honor. Tell them that, compared to dis
union, all other evils are light, because
that brings with it an accumulation of ills.
Declare that you will never take the field
unless the star-sprangled banner OF your
country shall float over you; that you will
not be stgmatized when dead, and dis
honored and scorned while you live as the
authors of the first attack on the Consti-
tuition Of your country. Its dcStrQYcrS you
cannot be. You may disturb its peace
you may interrupt the course Of its pros
pcrity; you may cloud its reputation for
stability; but its tranquility will be restor-
ed, its prosperity will return, and the
stain upon its national character will be
transferred and remain an eternal blot on

have it from good authority that no
encouragement may be expected from
either England or France, in tavor OF the
disunion movement in the Scedh. Great
Britain knows her ip.crests too well TO
embark in such. y venture, and France,
under the inspiration of the crafty Louis
Napoleon, will not be ready to anticipate
her rival in order to secure the doubtful
of a trade with the Southern
States. Gentlemen closely connected with
the British Legation in this city, who have
studied the workings of our institutions,
,and who know precisely where this dis
union movement will end, do scruple to
say tifSt the Ministry Of the Queen will
never. in any way, extend the slightest
sympathy towards the pro-slavery leaders
who are now looking to the formation OF
an Independent Southern Conicderacy.-

THE BUIKHEAD.-The bill for the construction
OF bulkhead, or seawall, at San Francisco, has
passed the Senate by vote OF II to l3. The
bill grants to the Dock Company the entire wa
ter front of San Francisco, for the period OF
fifty years, on condition that the company con
struct bulkhead to protect the harbor, and
authorizes them to collect wharfage dues which
are not TO exceed ten per cent per annum up
on the amount expended. The work Ia to be
constructed by sections, and as tle company
are allowed several years in which TO complete
il, but n small outlay will be required. After
the drst section is completed, the dues collected
from the commerce of the State will be suffi-
Client to carry on the work as fast as required.
The property Is to revert to the State at the
end OF ffty years, and the city has the right to
purchase it at any time after the completion Of
the 6rst section, by paying the cost and ten per
cent. profit. The people of San Francisco ap-
pear to be almost unanimously opposed to the
bill, and some very good arguments have been
advanced against it. One is, admitting the
work to be necessary, that much better bar
gain could have been made with other parties.
The Dock Company seem to regard the fran
Chise as worth fighting for against oil Odds and
considering the fierce opposition that has been
made to the bill, the speculation is not likely to
succeed. The bill may be defeated in the AS
scmbly, and even should 1t pass that body it is
quite likely to encounter the Governors veto.
Should it, however, become law tho Courts
will be appealed to, on the ground Of It's being
unconstitutional. and If the 6nal decision is in
favor Of the company, the case will at least be
delayed many months, and before the work
can be. commenced another Legislature will
have convened which may repeal the law.

The WAsHoB MINEs.-A correspondent: OF the

and would not advise any man to come here with
out enough to pay his expenses for at least six
months unless he calculated to do something other
than mining. There is great demand here now
for laboring men, but they are wanted to run tun-
nes on shares, no man having confidence in his
claim that will justify his paying out out one cent
for labor on it more than the Law requires him to do

THE RAILROAD TO oAUBURN.-Thc Auburn Her.
aid Of the 9TH inst says that the report of Sherman
Day, upon the location survey OF the railroad from
Folsom to Auburn, has inspired the citizens of that
place to active exertions in behalf OF the improve
ment. 1t is the intention of the company to put
one division Of the road into operation as soon as
practicable and il they meet with proper encourage

DEsTRucTIoN OF PRoPERTY.-The storm Of
last Wednesday night, did much damage in San
Francisco by flooding the cellars in which goods

in the city officers, and consequently the city will
be sued for damages.

BY the lower line s929 2o7


It will be seen that the heaviest item Of ex-
pense, Is the grading aud bridging Of that por-
tion Of the road near Auburn, which Is owing
to the dificulty Of crossing the long narrow
spurs making down from the table land, spoken
Of above. From another estimate given, II ap-
pears that the total cost of constructing the
road to point within four aud half miles of
Auburn, including rolling stock, will be $516,.
1873. As the lower division Of the road costs so
much less in proportion than the upper, it may
be thought coed policy to enter at once upon
the construction Of that division. thus giving
an impetus to the work, and providing for tho
transportation of the materials for the heavy
bridging on the upper portion.


Ia relation to the grade OF this road, and of
mountain roads generally, Mr.. Day says:
sleeper than so feet to the mile The preliminary survey
showed that grade Of 10 feet TO the mile might be OBJ
tanned by crossing the American river above Folsom but
by raising tie grade to so feet enabled to enter Au-
burn at greater elevation and also to descend into Big
Gulch and join the Central Railroad at the north end Of
the bridge, thereby saving expansive structure Hav-
ing concluded to adopt this mAximum II found that
II enabled to avoid several deep cuts through the Hat

not have been avoided the 70 feet grade had been ad

Congress will follow the precedent Of former years
and adjourn from ten to fourteen days for each Of
the great conventions, to be holden at Charleston
and Chicago. Neither Of these cities can be reach

attempt is made at Charleston to repeal the two
thirds rule and am satisfied it willbe, the conyen-
ton will last one week at least, that by the best
means of calculation It will cost Congress fourteen
days to attend that convention. The Republicans,

Mater is admitted, by the application of dredging
naculhes' such as are used successfully in deepen

1t was proposed to cover the soil in the deenar
parts OF the lake with fresh earth. Such an idea
should not be entertained. One object of This lake
Is to afford an opportunity for the water TO settle
so that the city may in future be served with pure
transparent, instead of foul, turbid water. This
suosidence of earthly matter will occupy the deep
places IN an appropriate way and without expense.


Some progress was made in the adoption of this
error, at an average cost of sixty-five cents per
cuolc YARD, the price to which the contractors
were entitled, but the expense was so enormous
that 1t was wisely discontinued.


NO obstacle should be interposed to delav the
completion of this great public work, so that all
portions OF the city may enjoy the luxury of an
abundant supply of water; that the original design

1t is now night, or would seek your

of my sister Lille Guileess girl

ments Of her tales and sketches. The
: love-letter" which so lucklessly fell
into your hands, was a portion of the
only romance which she ever wrote for
publication. She sent il to me for cor
rection, artlessly adding, that as she
was unacqnainted with the language Of
love, she wished it to undergo the su-
pervision- Of one more experienced. At
the same time she earnestly required
me not to allow you to see it, as her
delicacy and modesty were extreme,
and she had formed exalted opinions OF
your intellectual requirements. AS
her every wish was dear and sacred to
me, | complied with this latter demand,
and observing imperfections in the style
and too vehement ardor Of the a's love-

ted copy retaining the original, which
has cost US both so many tears. She

on her departure from this world, her
kind and sympathizing spirit learned its
unwilling and unwilling agency in our
separation, and that it could not rest
till she had inclined our hearts TO each
other Shall we not henceforth vener-
ate, as we have loved, that loving spirit.
And are we so soon TO meet, my beloy-
ed Adelaide; so soon TO sit dowu again
together in our quiet sitting room,
