The Democratic State Central Comanittee will. meet at the City of San Francisco on ‘TUESDAY, the 7th day of May next, at 12 o’clock m. A general attendance is earnestly requested, as busi1088 of great importance will come before the Committee, : J. P. HOGE, Chairman. Joux A, Monrow, Secretary. ee eee At the last General Meeting of the Committes, the folowing resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That proxies can be conterred only upon members of the State Central Democratic Committee. ‘Tue Sourrenver ov Fort Sumrer.—We give in another column what purports to be the statement of Capt. Doubleday relative to the bombardment of Fort Sumter. ‘The statement was evidently not intended to give the full particulars, and bas probably boon Consiterably matilated in pacsing over several telegraph lines, He makes no mention of five of Anderson’s men having been wounded, nor of the explosion of two magazines in the fort, nor of the Charleston fire companies going to Sumter to extinguish the flames, It does not appear that any serious impression was made on the walls of Sumter, andit seems unaccountable that the powder magazipe should be in such an exposed position as to be liable to be surrounded by fire. The accounts of the bombardinent, so far as received, leads to the belief that Anderson’s command were forced to surrender for want of food, and that the powder was thrown into the sea, and the munitions destroyed in order that they might not fall into the hands of the rebels. Had tbe fort been fally manned and supplied with every thing needful for resisting an attack, the garrison might have held out for some time, and perbaps silenced Fort Moultrie and other batteries; but considering the immeuse odds against them, it could scarcely be expected that the little band would be able to do more than destroy the interior of the fort and the munitions of war, To County Scrip Honpers.—We desire toagain call the attention of holders of county Warrants, to the notice of the County Auditor, which will be found on the fourth page of thia paper. There is now a balance of'eight thousand dollars, in the especial fund, which will be surrendered for county warrants drawn on the general fuod. The money will be awarded by the Board of Supervisors, to those offering scrip at the lowest rates; but no bids can be accepted under the law for more than the face of the warrants. It is probable that county ecrip holders can get very near the face of their warrants, if they woald prefer it to holding them. Last year only aboat five thousand dollars was set apart for the redemption of warrants, and the bids not being sufficient to take it all up, some two or three thousand dollars was turned over to the general fund. Sealed proposals for the surrender of scrip will be received by the County Auditor up to Monday next, the 6th of May, at which time the bids will be opened and the awards made. one Tue Basoxinaivor Commrrree.—Mr. Chas. Lindley, Chaitman of the Breckinridge Committee, bas. called anovber meeting of that. body, to be held at San Franeisco’ on the Tih idet, The call‘is made in accordance with the recommendation of about a hundred Breckinridge: men, who are anxious for a fusion with the regular Democracy, If the Breckinridge Committee will recall their late address, and denounce the Confederate States for making war on the Goveroment with as much vim as they lately denounced the North for a supposed intention to make war on the South, there may be some hope of fusion. However political parties may be divided, we do not believe any one can be elected to Congress or to a State office, whois not unequivocally opposed to secession, and in favor of maintaining the Federal Union. Rocx-Drii.uina Macuins.—We direct attention of miners and-others to the advertisement of Wm. W. Dunn, of San Francisco. Ttis claimed that with this muactiine, . one man can do the work of four ia the ordinary way. It can be worked by one man, who by turoinga crank causes the drill to strike 120 blows a mioute. The machine occupies so little space that two can be placed ina tannel of five feet square, NEWS FROM THE EAST. By Pooy Express we have dates from St. Loois to April 18th, The ftelligence is not of special importance, though of coasiderable interest az confirming previous reporte, The Northern States have responded promptly to the call of the President for seventy-five thousand volunteers, but the > . Border States, with the exception of Mary, land, side with the rebels. All parties in the North support the Government to put down the rebellion, and companies and reg iments are forming in the Northern cities and offering their services to the Government. The banks in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, aud other cities offer money to the Government. Danger is apprehended of an immediate attack on Wasbingtou ; the District of Columbia militia have been called out; all the public buildings, roads and avenues are guarded ; sentries are posted everywhere, and preparations made to defend the Cuapital. Troops are still pouring into Wasbington, and accounts from New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts agd<Maine state that regiments are already on the way to the Capital. The Maryland militia offer their services to the Government, but Gov, Letcher of Virgioia has replied roughly to Secretary Cameron’s demand for troops, and says Virgiaia will fight for the Souta ifat all. The Virginia Convention bad been holding secret sessions, and reports from Washington say there is no doubt that a secession ordinance bas been passed. The news of the surrender of Fort Sumter created great excitemeat and strengthened the war feeling at the South. Companies are forming in all the seceded States; the Southern banks offer loans to the Confederate Government, and the Border States offer met and money. The reported defection of Virginia has greatly elated the se cessionists, Jeff. Davis says that seventyfive times seventy-five thousand of Lincolu’s soldiers cannot subdue the South, and declares he will march to Washington and take it in thirty days. Major Anderson and bis command bad arrived at New York on the Harriet Lane, Puwnee and Pocahontas. It appears that the Powhbattan had not been at Charleston, and the Pawnee did notarrive watil after the surrender. The report received by the previous Pony, tbat the secessionists had been driven out of the streets of Baltimore, is confirmed; also, that they bad been threatened with hanging in Philadelphia. In New York, the Herald office was threatened and compelled to hoist the stars and stripes. Eprrortat Cuanuz.—8. J, McCormick has retired from the Portland (Oregon) advertiser, and Hx-Governor Geo.

Dovstepay’s Statement.—On the arrival of Major Anderson’s command at New York, Capt. Doubleday, the second officer, ntade a statement relative to the bombardment and surrender of Sumter. The following is the statement as received by the last Pony: ‘The demand for the surrender of Fort Sumter was made on the 11th and refused, not only by Major Anderson but by his command. On ‘Friday morning, at 3 o’clock, the rebels sent word that the fire would be opened in one hour. At 4 o’clock the fire opened in every direction, including hidden batteries. Anderson’s men took breakfast on salt pork and biscuit. His command was divided into three watches and then went to work and opened fire on Moultrie, Cumming’s Point and Morris Island. Anderson refused to let me work on the parapets on account of the tremendous fire. Anderson’s fire on Moultrie had terrible effect. Anderson’s barracks caught fire and were extinguished by the efforts of Hart, of New York, and Lyman, of the Baltimore volunteers. On Saturday the officers quarters caught fire from shell at the main gates and were burned. The magazine was surrounded by fire. Ninety barrels of powder were taken out and thrown into the sea. When the magazine was encircled by fire, al} their materials were cut off, and they had eate their last biscuit two hours before. “We had to lay on the ground with wet handkerchiefs on our faces to prevent smothering. A favorable steady wind was all that saved our lives. The cartridge boxes gave out and five men were engaged in the manufacture of them out of shirts, blankets and sheets. It will take half a million of dollars to repair Fort Sumter’s interior. Most of the shots were aimed at the United States flag. Wigfall demanded a surrender without authority. Anderson pulled down the flag, and afterwards, finding he had been sold, raised the flag again. Hart, of N. Y., nailed the colors, amid the deadly fireof the enemy and the cheers of the U. 8. troops. PHILosoPHy or THE DisuNION MOVEMENT. —De Tocqueville, whose great work on “Democracy in America’? was published over thirty years ago, remarked on the “Dangers which threaten the American Union.”’ The weak generally mistrust the justice and the reason of the strong. ‘The States which increase less rapidly than the others, look upon those which are most favored by fortune with envy and suspicion. Hence arises the deep seated uneasiness and ill-defined agitation which are observable in the South, and which form so striking a contrast to the confidence and rg! which are common to other yarts of the Union, The inhabitants of the outbern States are of all the Americans those who are most interested in the maintenance of the Ufiion. They would assuredly suffer most from being left to themselves, and yet they are the only citizens who threaten to break the tie of confederation. But it is easy to perceive that the South, which has given four Presidents, Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, to the Union; which perceives that it is loosing its federal infiuence; the South, which is peoled with ardent and irrascible beings is becoming more irritated and alarmed. e citizens reflect upon their present position, and remember their past influence, with the melancholy uneasiness of men who expect oppression. If they discover a law of the Union which is not unequivocally favorable to their interests, they protest against it as an abuse of force, and if their ardent remonstrances are not listened to, they threaten to quit an association which loads them with burthens, whilst it deprives them of their due profits. If the foregoing had been written in oxplanation of the present secession rebellion, it could not have been more to the point, Mitrrary Movements.—The arrival of Gen. Sumner to take command of the Pacific Division, and the announcement that Gen. Johoston had resigned, bas created some little surprise throughout the State. The S. F. Herald, of Friday last, says, in relation to the change of commanders: Weare positively assured by a gentleman who arrived on the last steamer, and was a fellow passenger with General E. V, Sumner, U. S. A., that the presence of General Sumner is owing to information sent forward from persons in this state tothe President and members of the Cabinet, that there was great danEi contar Tok would cogene anddeclare an in ndent Pacific Republic, that organizations for that purpose existed in this State; that Federal o: older® would refuse to deliver their trusts to theim appointed successors, and that General Johneton was su 0 either favoring this design, or wilfully shutting his eyes to these assumed facts, It is stated to us a8 an absolute fact, General Sumner relieved Genetal Johnston from his command within one hour after his arrival, and that Captain Stewart was relieved from the command of Alcatraz so soon as another officer could be sent to that fortification. A Bro Srony.—The Los Angeles Star is responsible for the follo “lt seems that a number of the leading citizens of Sacramento got an ink last year that at a certain place in Sonora a silver lode existed which wou y to get posession of; and to effect this object they dispatched a shrewd agent who completed all proper terms with the Government there, and has prospected the lode so far as te prove it one of the richest, if not the richest mine in the world. Itis averred thatit will ave over twenty thousand dollars of silver and. gold to the ton! Judge Baldwin and Attorney General Williams are reported to be the lucky members of this enterprise.” New OrvEANS Mint.—The busimess men of New Orleans refuse to trust the Mint in that city. They have sent a considerable amount of gold, of foreign coinage, to Philadelphia ‘This incidenf is quite a s stive one, and e has. established the initial . shows how much distrust of the disunionists is felt in the financial circles of the South. District Court—In the case of Dunning] Candidate for City Assessor, et al. vs. Rankin et al., the testimony and ar, says the Press; for the purpose of having it fing converted into American coin at the United . States Mint in that city—the reason assigned . for transmitting it there, instead of having it . coined at the New Orleans Mint, being a want . of confidence in the latter institution since it . has fallen into the hands of the Secessionists. . guments having closed, on Saturday evening, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. April 29th. Shaw ys. his creditors —Sheriff appointed sang erbert vs. Wallis et ul.—Continued for term at plaintiff ’s cost. JeCloud vs. McCloud.—Tried and submitted. Sigourney vs. Kraft.—Answer and replication withdrawn and judgment entered for amount prayed for in complaint (less $9 25) and the. ’ mortgage therein set forth foreclosed. Dunning et al. vs. Rankin.—Ten days time given defendant to file statement on motion for new trial. Richardson vs. Richardson.—Testimony for the plaintiff closed, and case continued until to-day. y April 30. Ott vs. Kraft; Levey vs. Kraft; and Kraft vs. Ott.—Continued for the term.
