FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 3%, Isér.
ExpiayaTory.—In our last weck’s issue
we indorsed the Union: movement as indieated by a circular in’ cur columns: We
also recommended’ sending delegates to the
Union Convention to be Holden: ins Sacramento on the 13th proximo. We stpposed
from the spirit shown by leading Douglas
Democrats and others that the proposition
would be hniled with the same delight as it
has been By all Republicans with whom we
have come in:contact. But itis not so.—
It is evident now to all’ that the Douglas
Democracy are bent on running straight
County and State tickets. Such being the
case we are not in favor of weakening the
Republican organization to centribute to
the success of the Democracy ag a distinct
party. We supposed there would be a
spirit of fairness and good will among all
Union men of whatever past party associations. We can see no reason why the
Douglas party is entitled to the executive
and. congressional power of the State, and
shall oppose its pretensions. When it disBands its forces, as the Republicans are
willing te: do,.for a common party basis, we
are willing to cooperate with its menin a
common cause and grant them every distinction which is their due, by virtue of
their numbers and devotion to the National
Government; but not otherwise. If our
language last week was such as to leave
the impression that we were unconditionally for a Union party to assemble at Sacramento on the 13th of next month, it was
unintentional. A fair Union party we are
for, but none other.
“Pgacerct Sotction.’’—The Breckinridge
County Committee assembled at the Court
House last Saturday to see about saving
the country and aportion of the offices.— .
Niles Searls appears in the reported “proseedings as Chairman. The Committce resolved to call on the Breckinridge Democracy to come up to the chalk and nominate
a ticket. The test for a voter at the primary meetings is established. It is, that the
person offering to vote shatl endorse the
Crittenden, or other similar compromise,
and say he is in favor of the Union of the
States and of the peaceful solution of our
national difficulties.
We suppose the Breckinridge party here
are on the same level with the party in the
Southern States, and there the “peaceful
solution” spoken of means a recognition of
the indepencence of the nigger confederacy, and a surrender of all public property
in the South to the insurgents. What else
do the Nevada Breckinridgers mean? They
Know the malcontents have declared in the
most positive language they will never submit to the authority of the General Goyernment again on any terms, How cana
“peaceful solution, be accomplished? We
take it for granted that the Niles Searls
Breckinridgers are for a craven submission
to thedemands of secessionists whatever
those demands may be. There can be uo
“peaceable solution” without it. War has
actually begun, and it would be dishonorable to treat with traitors with arms in their
hands. There is a “peaceable solution.”
Tt is the test resolution of the Breckinridgers—a solution of pumpkin and water.—
When the election is over there will be a
“peaceable dissolution” of the party,

left for him to make a few hundred dollars
more.
Broop Witt Tett.—Singular coincidenees sometimes appear in history. Among
the most singular is the one we are about
te relate: It is a well known fact that
Benedict Arnold, the traitor, married the
daughter of Dr. Shippen, of Philadelphia, a
notorious tory of the Revolution. The}
cause of Arnold’s defection was attributed
by some to the influence of his wife and
her family; but be this as it may, there is
another fact of great significance. Edward
Shippen, a lawyer of Philadelphia, and a
descendent of the tory Doctor of the same
name, is the son-in-law of the traitor
Twiggs. Thus the tories and traitors of
the Revolution have their counterparts in
their descendents, the tories and traitors of
to-day. Blood will tell.

Correspondence of the Journal.
Wasuixeton, May 26, 1861.
Error Jovurnat: I arrived safe at Omega
on Wednesday last, and it looked gloomy
enough riding in the stage, through snow a few
inches deep.
Omega seems to be quite a thriving town,
surrounded by a large mining section, a greaf
part of which has not been thoroughly tested
as yet. Some of the claims pay very well, and
the most of them pay all expenses. The town
seems to be very quiet during the day. Thero is
one feature which contrasts strangely with the
neatness which characterizes the town otherwise, and that is the dilapidated condition of all
the windows fronting on the main street but
this was satisfactorily explained in the evening when I saw a number of hardy, athletic
and fun-loving young men with bat in hand,
send a large india rabber ball either whirling
through the air or else right in through a neighboring window.
Washington is a lively town. Its most prominent feature is the amount of gambling done
there, by both whites and Mexicans, more than
in all the mountain towns I have seen on my
jaunt. Washington seems to be the centre towards which every Mexican, Chileno, &c , turns
his fuce, especially on Saturday evening from
every district around here.
There was a middle-aged man, a miner,
(whose name I have forgotten) started about
11 a. m. last night to his cabin a few hundred
yards from town. When not far from his cabin,
three men suddenly appeared near and demand; ed him to stop, but in an instant he jumped
down a shallow eut and got to his home ere the
would be robbers could see him.
A gentleman styling himself Professor Dayenport, lecturer on Phrenology, Clairvoyance
and Electrical Harmony, had notices posted to
lecture on the foregoing subjects, but as gaimbling seemed to absorb the attention of all, ke
concluded to follow them to their retreat, where,
for a short time at least, he broke up the Monte
game by commencing an cloquent lecture on
the necessity of knowing ones own capability,
as well as to have electrical examinations made
by him, the only professor of electrical harmony.
On Jefferson Hill there are only three miners,
named Fraser, M’Intosh and Brown, who have
as much patriotism as any three men in the
State. They have a pole some fifty or sixty
teet long and sent for a good sized flag which
fhey expect to get on next Wednesday, when
they are to have a holiday, and “raise the Stars
and Stripes, which” as they say themselves,
“they like to see waving even when at work.”

were many who would be inferior to Douglas .
in that position—that Senator Douglas was
the first to tell him of anticipated troubles
in Maryland and to point out the proper
route via Perryville and Annapolis, and
suggested that Fort Monroe and Point Comfort were the points that commanded the
whole of that section of the country. Lincoln referred with pleasure to the fact that
Douglas earlier than any called upon him,

him and approving of his course.
