ee eae Hevada Daily Transcript; FRIDAY MORNING, DEc. 24, 1864. ty R&venDY JOHNSON.—This prominent Marylander and able lawyer, who was'electe4 by the Union men of that State to the Senate, recently, has brought upon himself the just indignation of the people be misrep» resents, by his treachery and base ingratitude. “Since the beginning of the war ‘he hae pretended to be an earnest supporter of the Administration and the war, has de. fiounced slavery as its cause, and by.bis de» ceptionsecured a place in the United States Senate: While in the Senate le made al speéch in which he endeavored to ghow his long und-consistent, opposition to slavery, and argued in favor of immediate emancipa« tion. “With this—record fresh before the people of the entire country, he returned home, belied his—prpfessions, opposed the free State Constitution of Maryland, and supported. McClellan for the Presidency:— ‘Among his own people he has hever been thought a statesman, though allaidmit-his . ability as a lawyer.” Hoe.has ever been very uncertain, and in lateyears it-has been the cuatam of the people of Balfimore city, where he resides, to. burn him 10 effigy nt least twice a year. He was Attorney General under Taylor, and he served in that ca pacity until Taylor died when Fillmore appointed @ successor. The following resolution, adopted by the State Convention of Maryland, which: met in October for the purpose of nominating a State ticket, shows what Johnson's people think of him: Resolved, Thut we condemn the course pursued by Hon, Reyerdy Johneon,but—at the same time congratulate the Whion men of the State that he has left us und is now with the traitors of his country, laboring for theit success; that we are convinced that we are better-without him, and that it will not be long before he will desert them and go over to some new party not yet in extetence, but which he will espuuse so , 8000 as it nny have birth; that the opinion lately announced by him was a pretext for the rebel voters of the State to swear to wils “ful perjury in order to defeat the Free State Constitution; -and that high Heaven will hold hint~aecountable for the deed; and:we ineist that the-next Legislature shall call on him to resign the position which he is misrepresenting. ELECTORAL CULLEGH.—The California Presidentiat Electors—Messrs. Samuel Brannan, J. G. McCallum, W, W. Crane, Charles Maclay aud Warner Oliver— will meet at Sacramento on Wednesday, the 7th day of December, snys the Flag, to prepare . their votes for the Electoral Cullege, and select one of their number to go to Washington with the important commission. — We believe it is generally agreed that Mr. Branndn will be the member selected to deliver Calfornia’s endoréement of honest Abraham Lincoln. GRowTH oF SAN FRANCISCO.~By the néW Directory, it is shown that the annual increase of population is at the rate of twelve and-é half per cent. This would give a population in 1868 of 170,000, and in. 1872, 240. 000. The wealth of the city has increased in a atill greater ratio. The city bids fair to become before the end the of century the . second city in America in population, and. the firat in Wealth, SIXTEEN States have accepted the cons @ressional grants, providihg for the estab. habment in the various States, of colleges for instruction in Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. _ INVENTION.—An Sa inventinn is about to be wade public whereby priuting ink may be dispensed with, and the paper se prepared that when pressed by the type certuin chewical compounds in the paper ure crushed and & black impression left. —yo THOMAS SWANN, Governer elect of Mas ryland, was Mayor of the city of Baltimore atone time. In his apeeth accepting the nomination, he said: “My desire often hae been manifested heres tofore, to place Maryland m the rank which her geographical position, het fertile suil, her inexhaustible mineral resources, aud her eolatged mantlaciuring eapabilities entitle her to occupy. The centre of our Unien, with her star no longer dimmed by the blight ef slavery [appluuse)}, the future of our Stete, undera practical and Vyorous develepment of the many facilites Which nature has thrown in her’way, will be at once extabliwbed ; and not ‘the least of our causes for thankfulness and congratulation, when we ehall have emerged from the war in which Wwe are now engaged, will be that Maryland will find hereelf in the category vf Free States.” War's Nervous Autudvte will ctre dyseatery. sera te a Fr merc BY TELEGRAPH TO THE: Nevada Daily Transcript, New York,.Nov. 28.—Richmond papers state that great excitement exists at Savanthe front.

The demonstration towards Macon was a feint. There is said to be no force at Aus gusta capable of withstanding Sherman. Charleston and Savannah. A large fleet was recently fitted out for operations on some point unknown. It is now thought these vessels are designed to co-operate with Sherman in an attack upon Savannah— or ‘Charlestuo. The roads on the James are almost impassable in consequence of a severe storm and consequently the movements ofthe army are suspended. ~ Some excitement was occasioned in the city of New York on the night of the 25th ult., bythe firing of the St. Nicholas, La. farge, Metropolitan, Lovejoy’s and Astor hotels and Barnum’s Museum.
