We believe he is the only Union Democrat on either ticket, and his election would be but 4 poor compensation for the demoralization of the party in the county. So far as De Long is concerned, be is sound on the Union, and his influence will never be used to advance the cause of the rebels; but that cannot be said of other candidates oa the ticket with him.

Wilde, of the same firm, who died suddenly on Sunday morning. His death was oceasioned by a disease of the beart. The deceased wasa native of Baltimore, but came to California from Georgia in the early days of this State. His age was sixty-four years. Tur Premium on Gotp.—A new York dispatch, of the 5th inst., quotes gold coin at fourteen and a half per cent. premium, and gold bars dull at thirteen and a half. A few days ago gold bars were selling at a higher premium than coin, being in demand for shipment to Europe. The decline in bars indicates a check ia the outflow of specie.

The Union, of yesterday, published Eas tern advices up tothe 6th inst., and the news is important, The Government bas issaed a call for three hundred thonsand men to serve nine months, unless sooner discharged. The Secretary of War is to assign the quotas to the several States, and in case uny State shall not by the 16th of August furnish its quota, the deficiency of volunteers from that State will be made up by special draft from the militia. Measures have also beeo taken to rid the service of euch incompetent persons as now bold commissions. The late call for three hundred thousand troops, we judge, isin addition to the three bandred thousand volanteers called for some three or four weeks ago. When they are all mustered, the Government will bave over a million men in the field. We have rumors from James river, from Pope’s headquarters, and other sources, that the rebcls have for some time been evacnating Richmond, and taking up a new line of defense south of James river. There is reason to believe that a pestilence bas broken out at Richmond, and it is not unlikely that such is the case if the euemy have had as many troops there as reported. McClellan bas sent a force of 15,000 men south of James river; one division of Burnside’s corps bas left Hampton Roads in a direction opposite James river, aud other divisions were embarking and preparing to follow. Great secrecy has been observed in this movement; but it indicates that McClellan was acting on the belief that the rebels were moving southward. The divisions of Gen. Pope’s army are steadily moving southward, the advance, under Gen. Crawford having reacbed Orange Court House, teo miles north of Gordonsville, where they routed two regiments of rebel cavalry. Quite a strong Union seotiment bas been manifested within the lines of Sigel’s division; about four hundred citizens had takea the oath of allegiance, and seventy bad been arrested for refusal, It is believed the rebels have abandoned the Shenandoah valley to the defense of guerrillas, The Government bas determined to place a number of gunboats on the Ohio river, to guard ugainst guerrilla raids; and gunboats are needed for a similar purpose on the Missouri. The guerrillas are still active ia portions of Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, annoying the Federal troops, and inflicting great damages upon the peaceably disposed inhabitants, They will eventually be dispersed and killed off. Rear Apmirats.—An Eastern dispatch says the President bas commissioned the following Captains as Rear Admirals, on the retired list, under the late act of Congress reorganizing the Navy, to wit: Chas, Stewart, Geo. C. Reed, Wm. B. Shubrick, James Sweet, Geo, U. Storer, Francis H. Gregory, E. A. F, Lavalette, 5. H. Stringham, aod Hiram Paulding. We do not find the name of James Sweet in the list of Captains in the Navy; probably Isaac S. Sterett was the name intended. The others are among the old Captains, who have been ealled Commodores by curtesy, Commodore Stewart, the senior officer in the navy, is now eighty years of age, and too old for service. The following Captains are to be Rear Admirats in active service: L. M. Goldsborough. S. F. Dupont, and A. H. Foote. These officers bave all distinguished themselves during the present war. From Anizona.—A dispatch from Los Angeles, dated August 4tb, gives the following intelligence from Arizona: While the companies A and B of the Ist cav~ were moving forward through the Messilla valley and near Fort Fillmore, they were attacked by a large body of Apache Indians, The ~— was reinforced by some companies of the regular cavalry, supposed to be from Col. Canby’s command. The Todiane were routed with heavy loss. Seven menof the cavalry were killed and anumber wounded, among the latter was Dr. McNulty, chief surgeon of the California column, Col. Canby had reached Messilla with the cavalry. Express rider Jones had arrived at Tucson, seven days from Messilla, having in company Capt. McClave, White and two of Col. Canby’s expressmen. It was reported at Tucson, that three men belonging to Capt. Fitz’s company had been killed by the Apaches. General Carlton and staff were on the Rio Grande. Everything was quiet. The rebel Gen. Sibley had withdrawn his forces from New Mexico, and gone into Texas. Diep or His Wounps.—The man Murphy, who wasshot on Friday last, at San Francisco, by one Morton, died on Saturday night.

Captain Hudeon reports the total loss by fire of the steamer Golden Gate on the afternoon of July 27th, 15 miles west of Manzanillo at five o’clock. When at dinner the ship was reported to bim to be on fire He proceeded to the spar deck and found a dense smoke coming from the engine room hatch. All ofthe fire hose was put in requisition, The ship being three miles from land the helm was put up to ran ashore. Men, women andchildren were ordered forward and probably one hundred reached the forecastle when the flames spread so as to cut off all commanication witb the after part of the ship, He kept the engine moving as long as possible. Communication with the engine room was cut off in a few minotes, Several firemen and engineers went below and opened the feed vales and . furnace doors to prevent explosion. They barely escaped with their lives by forcing & passage through the after freight room bulkhead. At half past five she grounded 300 yards from the beach, a heavy surf breaking. Before reaching shore tbe after boats were lowered and filled with passengers under charge of the Chief Mate. Life preservers, chaire and everything buoyant were furnished to the passengers to throw overboard, After she strack the burricane . deck fell and the mast went down by the board. The heat became so intense as to. cempel all remaining to leave the burning . wreck, lowering themselves into the water with lines, and many threw themselves into the water from different parts of the! ship. After all had left, Captain Pearson and . of chapparal. At three P.M. a boat hove . iu sight, by whieh we sent to Manzanillo for relief. Ov the morning of the 29:b) ltwo boats reached us, and reported that they bad saved 64 passengers. The St, Lonix, touching at Manzanil'o early the same morning, came to our tesla ‘tance, and rescued those who had remained with me. . From the shelving beach and heavy surf . where the wreck is, there is but little prob . . ability of saving the treasure. I shall remain as agent of the under. writers, with a portion of the crew and ‘officers for its protection, with the hope of being able to save life. The St. Louis arrived at Manzanillo at . 4 o'clock on the morning of the 29th, The captain was informed of the disaster to the . Golden Gate, and immediately went towards the wreck. Four bears were manned and loaded with provisions aud water, and /patfor shore. The guns of the steamer were fired at intervals, notifying all passen . i gers living that relief was near. They . picked np all they could find on the shore ‘and about the wreck. They ran twelve . . miles below Manzanillo, but found uo person, dead or alive. } [From our Extra of this morning.] .

forward and probably one hundred reached the forecastle when the flames spread so as to cut off all commanication witb the after part of the ship, He kept the engine moving as long as possible. Communication with the engine room was cut off in a few minotes, Several firemen and engineers went below and opened the feed vales and . furnace doors to prevent explosion. They barely escaped with their lives by forcing & passage through the after freight room bulkhead. At half past five she grounded 300 yards from the beach, a heavy surf breaking. Before reaching shore tbe after boats were lowered and filled with passengers under charge of the Chief Mate. Life preservers, chaire and everything buoyant were furnished to the passengers to throw overboard, After she strack the burricane . deck fell and the mast went down by the board. The heat became so intense as to. cempel all remaining to leave the burning . wreck, lowering themselves into the water with lines, and many threw themselves into the water from different parts of the! ship.
