MACHINE    POETRY.
A week or two ago, we published • specimen of
poetry manufactured by J. W. Evans, of Healds-
burg, from a Boston Machine. Tbe article attracted the attention of oar friends of the Amador Dispatch, wbo at onoe entered into competition with
onr maohine, and produced tbe following. We
premise, tbe failure oi brother Evens to obtain al 1
the wished for information arose from th* smashing np ol his machine by the fact, thai m should
bave been run by aa "American citizen ef African
descent," at least, so says the Dipatch man. Hear
bim.
Mr. Evans, "yoa should bsve employed so "American citizen of African descent" torao tbs maohine, and the unfortunate smash up wonld not
bave occurred. We procured one of tbese macbi nes
sometime ago, aod the inventor told as that we
would bsve to hire a negro to turn it. In order to
make sore of Its loyalty, which wa did, aod it
worked admirably. The following Is tht first
verse It produced:
Rebellion now. It am no joke,
'Case we've got Its back-bone brol^e.
When mnssa Lincum wins the fights,
We'll bab de "dead wood" on de whites.
Tbe "Intelligent contraband" having received
an appointment as general In the army, wa were
deprived of his valuable services, and being on-
able to find either a war democrat or any other
nigger to take his place, we were compelled to
employ a copperhead, and tbe following verse was
the result:
McClellan went, one lovely morn,
And captured Richmond—in a born :
Old Grant Is now npon the tract.
But I think he'll soon skedaddle back,
For Le" can lick the loyal olan,
Under Grant or "any other man."
As soon as this last verse made its appearance,
a provost marshal wbo happened to be standing by
immediately caused tbe machine to be suppressed,
and that's what's Ibe matter witb it now. But we
bought tbe machine for the purpose of making
campaign poetry for tbe Dispatch daring the present presidential contest, and we intend to make
it—machine or no machine—so here goes without
the machine:

Playing Cards.—It is generally believed that cards were invented for the
amuse ment of the early kings of the
line of Bourbon; but this belief is erro-
neousj who the man was who invented these instruments of folly is not
kno wn, neither can we tell in what age
they were first invented. Our knowledge is limited to the country whence
they came, namely, Egypt. The colors
are two, red and black, which answers
to the two equinoxes. The suits are
four, answerable to the four seasons.
Their emblems formerly were, and are
still in Spain—for the heart a cup, the
emblem of summer; the diamond, a rose,
the emblem oi spring. The twelve
court cards answer to the twelve
months, and were formerly depicted as
signs of the zodiac. The fifty-two cards
answer to the number of weeks in the
year. The thirteen cards in each suit,
to the number of weeks in a lunar quarter. The aggregate ofthe pips amount
to the number of days in a year.
The Government may tax our matches but we challenge the world to match
our taxes.—Oswego Palladium.
Abe Lincoln is a candidate.
For president once more.
He wants, perhaps, to ce'ebrate
His trip through Baltimore.
When be was before elected,
Three years ago and more,
A Highland suit his life protected,
As be went through Baltimore.
He thought perhaps he'd lose his life,
In a scene of frightful gore,
So be lelt tbs danger for bis wife,
And went at nigbt thro' Baltimore.
All Europe was tben surprised,
And rung with loud uproar,
To see a "government," so disguised,
Go through the city Baltimore.
But now we'll let the coward out,
And lake a man like Tom Seymour,
Tben Abe oan take another route-
Tom will go through Baltimore.
And then oar people may depend
Tbat onr liberties be will restore,
And to oppression pnt an end.
Both in and out of Baltimore.

Edward HI., King of England, once was startled
on bis throne, and had his relentless grasp
weakened by tbe published words of a young
French girl, a saint, an ideal and sublime enthusiast, who cried forth, "I can never see tbe blood
of Frenchmen flow without weeping." In hundreds of thousands of homes io the United States
tbere is to-day a sweet, pare, and saintly prayer
going forth tbat this wicked sbeddiog of Amerioan
blood may oease. Indeed from every pure heart
io the land tbese words are felt ft not uttered : "I
cao never see the blood of an American flow without weeping." Give this feeling time snd It will
save oar country. Already it bas commenced to
undermine tbe cruel arsenal of war. If tbe President's nature were not a coat of mail against all
humane and virtuous impressions, he wonld, even
now, feel Ihis vague pulsation, this bndding patriotism, this deep and passionate hatred ot tbe
war, wbich will surely, at last, overthrow his party, and drive bim aod all his war supporters out ot
a land Ihey bave soaked with tbe blood of their
oountrymen. Let tbese holy words be placed as a
motto at the head of newspapers—let ihem be
painted npon banners—let ibem be rang tn
songs—let tbem be spoken tn parlors, and repeated everywhere at the corners of the streets—
"1 ean never see the blood of an American flow
without weeping. And tbese other words—"/
ean never tee an Abolitionist without saying,
there goes the cause of my country's rutttV
Speak these words aloud, all ye true men and true
women I They shall be heard as the beatings of
your country'* heart.— Old Guard.

"It Prohibit, all Luans of Coin."
Among tbe dispatches recently received from
tbe East are Ihe following:
Chicago, June 18tb.—The Gold bill which passed Ibe Honse on the 14tb, and which had previously passed the Senate, is very stringent in its
provisions. It inWdicts contracts for tb* sale
or purchase of gold unless accompanied by delivery on tbe same day. and expressly requires tbe
contractor for sale and delivery to be in actoa)
possession. It prohibits all loans of coin, and also
time contractors for the sale at exchange beyond
ten days. It interdicts transactions in gold save
at the ordinary places of business of the parlies,
and declares at} contracts made in violation o* the
Act, absolutely void.and imposes a fine from $1,000
to $10,000. and Imprisonment of not less tban
three months npon any party, suits to be instituted in tbe United Slates Courts.
Chicago. Jane 21st.—The Gold Bill, wbich has
been signed by tbe President, restricts speculation somewhat.
Sales or gold al New York to-day at 210.
It Is Impossible for as to tell from the language
of these brief dispatches what Is tbe precise force
of tha Aot, whioh tt seems hss passed Congress,
and been signed by the President.' It bad been
supposed that the Act waa leveled at mere speculative operations in Wall street, and elsewhere;
bat If oar telegraphic Information Is literally true
tbe Act takes a wider range, and if carried oat
must work a complete revolution in tbe currency
on|thls coast. It not only affects speculation In
gold, bat the entire range of ordinary commercial
transactions between oilizens engaged tn every
branch of business. Is It true that all loans of
coin ateprohibited, to be enforced by making the
contract void, by a fine of from $1,000 to $10,000.
and Imprisonment for not less tban three months?
Though this is tbe literal statement ofthe dispatch
people sre slow to believe that Congress bas gone
thus far in ils work of forcing greenbacks on tbe
conntry, and a general feeling of doubt and uncertainty will pervade tbe puplic mind nntll tbe mat
ter Ib cleared op by further information.
When Congress first ventured 00 the hazardous
experiment of making its notes a legal tender for
debt, It was apparent enough that it would be
driven to the necessity of following tbe example
ol other Governments tbat had at different periods
adopted the same policy. Tbe old Confederacy
during the Revolutionary Warissned $300,000,000
in paper promises to pay, and finally, when tbe
people refnsed to take it except at a ruinous discount. Congress undertook to force it on them by
calling on tbe States to make it a legal tender,
and by declaring that "whoever should refuse this
property as gold snd silver should be deemed an
enemy to tbe liberties of tbese United States."
"Let it be understood," said Congress, 'that paper
money is the only kind of money tbat cannot take
to itself wings and fly away." Tbe Act uf Con.
gress and State Legislatures designed to force
paper on the people, though they bad the effect 0|
driving nearly all tbe coin ont of the oountry and
of destroying publio and private confidence, never
succeeded in giving value to the trash, and the
greater portion oi it died in tbe bands of the holders—becoming nearly worthless.
France furnishes a notable instance of the falla
cy ot trying to force gevernment paper on a conn
try aB currency. The French assignats amounting
to the enormous sum total of upwards of seventeen
hundred millions of dollars issued daring the fiery
excitement of tbe great revolution, were forced
Into circulation, by penal enaotments of tbe most
sweeping character. Refusal to take tbe paper on
a par with gold was punished by forfeiture, imprisonment, and even death. Tet the paper went
down, or rather gold went np until finally the
whole of tbe deceptive trash went by tbe board,
becoming worthless. Oar Government is now following la the same path. For a time, Cbase managed to bolster up the currenoy by skillfully using
gold, received from duties on imports on Wall
street, afterwards he resorted to gold certificates.
Still gold advanoes and greenbacks depreciate.
Something must be done, and Congress under the
pretense of stopping specnlation, is following up
tbe same old line of French legislation, driving
people into tbe use of greenbacks by forfeiture,
fines, and imprisonment for refusal, to be followed
perchance by death itself as a punishment for dis
obedience.
If tbe gold Act Is correctly represented by tbe
telegraphic report, It must work an Instant and
radical change In all commercial relations in California. If coin cannot be loaned either by Individuals or the banks, all unemployed capital must
either remain idle or be at once converted into
greenbacks, when tbe greenbacks may be leaned
This will draw vast amouuts of treasury notes into
this country, Ibe gold going oul of tbe conntry in
order to purchase tbem. Coin failing to perform
the common fuuetions of money will give plaoe to
oaper. We cannot see why the Goveromenl
should continue to coin gold and silver money,
alter It is deprived of the universal qualifications
of money. The Act oogbt to bsve been entitled,
"An Aot to drive all gold and silver oat of the
United Slates."
Before sucb legislation as this, if recognized as
valid, tbe Specific Contract laws of this coast will
be powerless for the retention of a bard money
currency, and It becomes more and more evident
every day tbat it is Ibe purpose of Ibe Federal
Government to coerce California Into the adoption
of tbe greenback currency.
Some of our courts bave held that, where
a party loans gold coin, ot be paid
in gold coin, be can enforce the contract
at common law, independent of tbe Specific
Contract Act.' This Act of Congress, if as represented, breaks down that barrier against greenback
by prohibiting any sucb loan of coin. Il all the
banks of deposit and discount on this coast, inclu
ding saving? banks, and alt private capitalists,
are compelled to convert iheir vast capital ii to
greenbacks before it can bs loaned, we may consider tbe days of bard money tn this Stale as numbered. Hereafter everv man's properly will be
tossed on a tempestous sea, lashed to fnry by tbe
madness that rules tbe bonr It will rise on the
billows but to sink »gain. the sport of the fortunes
of war and legislative madness. 1
How many times bas tbe back-bone of the rebellion been broken t How many times has tbo
Sontb been starved oott How many times has Ihe
rebellion been on tbe point of giving op from exhaustion ? O, so many times I Almost as many
as months bave elapsed since we began tbe business of subjugating. And yet we are still everywhere confronted witb armies which we dare not
march npon—wilb armies wbich to tell Ihe truth,
we are awfully afraid will march upon us. Then
ihe rebellion seems to be like tbat Titan wbo,
every lime be was thrown to the earth, regained a
new strength. We bave found it so ; and we (hall
find it so even to the end. Eight millions of people whom yoa compel to fight for their altars and
tbeir homes—for their property and their lives,
are Titan—they are never exhausted ; never give
up. The eod will be that we shall give out, and
give op first; just as England after having vainly
hurled the might of the most powerful nation on
earth against the Titanic will of tbese feeble and
dispised colonies, gave np In shame and despair
al last. We are foolishly acting that piece of history over again, wilh Ibe exception thai we, in
tbe North play tbe part of England this time. And
England laughs at our folly, for sbe well knows
ihe road we are traveling.—OM Guard.

of May, of pneumonia. Deceased was a native of
Pennsylvania, bnt went to Georgia while yet a

Accounts from Lyons state that the
vines in that country are magnificent,
and promise a great quantity of fruit.
The yines are healthy and strong in
the Tarn, and are already covered
with grapes. Although the weather
has been cold and damp in the Saone
and Loire, the vines are also covered
with grapes. Warm weather, however,
is desired to bring them to maturity.
Fears wero entertained by the vine-
growers of the department of the Aude,
ofa return of the frosts experienced in
the month of April last, but the late
warm rain has restored confience.
According to Mr. Dudley, <jur Consul
at Liverpool, there is little need of legislation in this country to stimulate
immigration from Great Britain and
Ireland. Every line of packets has engaged every berth in their vessels from
April up to Jane; and one ship company would send 50,000 immigrants to
the United States in two months if
they had ships to carry them. What is
needed is more ships. A Boston line
would be filled every trip.
