series of most wretched libels on the art contributed
by some one in Nevada. They serve, however, to

The «Golden Circle” in California,
General McDougall, iu bis late speech at
Sacramento, said:
The Democratic Senator from Oregon,
. Mr. Nesmith, was ia the city of San Fran, cisco. and visited your city a short time
. since. He was waited upon by a commit. tee en two several occasions, aud they iaformed him that a plan for a Repablic on
. the Pacific bad been digested and matured,
. that its organization was complete, aud
‘that it commanded the voices of a large
. body ef our fellow citizens. The plaa was
‘laid out in detail before that gentleman,
It was for a Republic to extend trom Texas
' and including that State, and then passing .
. westward, including Chibuabua, Tamauli. pas, Sonora, California and Oregor. He
; was informed that, while the organization .
was complete and being carried on here,
the Knights of the Golden Circle were a
. powerful organization in Texas and Arizo. na, that the moment that secession was effected at the South, they were prepared to .
; march on the States of Mexico to be ac-.
quired or conquered, and then offer to Califoroia a joint partnership with those adjoining States in a new Republic.
. This scheme is ripe and strong cnough
for Californians to consider its magnitude,
and enquire who may, perchauce, be allied .
to it. What is there tempting for us in
this scheme? It is said that we will have .
free trade and an independent Republic. 1
say there is nothing, in it for us but destraction, In the first place, [ may affirm .
one simple propositien; California would .
be owned by Texas and the Knights of the
Golden Circle. Wearea people few in
number, scattered over a vast territory.
. We have 120,000 citizens in California, .
and not atesth pumber, I thiok. in Oregou. And yet, as that document suggests,
we havea territory larger tban that of .
France, richer than any like country in the .
world. Qur allies would have a tempting .
conntry wherein to employ their diplomacy .
and to establish their policy; aud where, .
where, I ask, would we in California have .
. the power to resist?

published at Carson City, says that four.
fifths of the Gentile population of that see.

fornia, and adds :
The reason for this is apparent. We de-.
sire a division of the Territory, because we .
have no present inflaence in the Utah Legislature, and because their interests and
pursuits are materially different from ours .
—calling for a species of Jegislation not adapted to our necessities. California legis. .
lation would suit us better at this time, as
better adapted to our peculiar wants; but
as California’s agricultural interests in.
crease, and her mining interests relatively .
diminish, her system of legislation would .
yearly become less and less suited to ue, .
While our mineral resources are rapidly be.
ing developed, they will speedily become .
recognized as the paramount interest of the .
. Territory, and command the attention, for .
the want of which they now languish ; and .
again, our numerical strength, as compared
with the Mormons, is much greater than it .

Reported Movement ofthe Cotton States
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald writing January 8th,
gays:
Georgia has inaugurated important measures in regard to her financial and commercial arrangements with Europe. Sho
sends abroad at once one of ber most distinguished citizens, charged with an important mission, The Commissioner will have
under bis authority the qitestion of the recognition by foreign powers Of the seceding
States as Governments defacto. He will
also be charged with the duty of negotiating a basis of credit and exchange, by
which the cotton erop can be hypothecated
im Kurope, and moved for jomt account.
But the most important duty of the Commissioncr will be in regard to the . question
of revenue. If the Government shall make
arrangements to collect the revenue off
Southern seaports, it is arranged that the
cotton States will pronounce for free trade
and direct taxation. They will proceed to
raise the revenue for the South by direct
taxation, giving notice to foreign Governments that Southera ports are open to the
Importation of their merchandise free of
duty, and that the imposition of duties by
the United States Government is unlawful
and unauthorized. The question would
therefore, become a foreign one, and EngWill be left to decide between a Northeran alliance and f, “
with the South, ves
The Commissioner frem Georgia will be
the concurrent re
of the other cotton States, This jentoans
mission will devolve a policy whieh may bo
so directed as to avoid any conflict between
the Government and seceding States in the
matter of collecting the revenue, It seems
to be the policy of the commercial party at
the South to prevent, if possible any conflict with the Federal authorities, Iree
trade and direct taxation will be adopted
by the seceding States the moment the Government takes steps to collect the reverue
on the high seas by blockading Southern
ports, This policy, which originates with
C. G. Raylor, the representative man of the
cotton interest, will have an important
hearing upon our foreign and domestic relations, It will throw upon England,
France, and other foreign powers the bonus
of resisting the imposition of duties upon
Importations into the ports of seceding
States, The recognition of such States as
Governments de facto being thus supported
by ine self-interest of Kuropean nations
aoe Ereaily to the chances of the South
I am not at liberty to disclose the name
of the Commissioner appointed by Georgia.
Ue is, however, a citizen of that State a
man of distinction, of natienal reputation
and well-kaown in New York. He will ar.
rive here in a few days, and possibly the
foreign Ministers will be sounded as to their
views. In any case, the Georgia Commisfloner proceeds direct to Europe, backed
by the cotton power,
Prerre Souie on tur SecepERs,—The following opinion of the sagacity and etatesmanship of the men who are now endeavoring to divide the Union, was contained in
a letter written by Mr. Soule a short time
since ;
If this Government is to be overthrown
and the South is to organize itself into a
separate confederacy, it were hardly an act
of discretion, on our part, to commit the
trust of erecting the latter to the very men
who, With all the Federal power at their
bidding, with the purse and sword in their
. hands to sustain themselves, have, in Jess
than four years, not only destroyed the
most powerful party that was ever organized ia any government, but subverted that
noble structure, of which John C, Calhoun
has said that it exceeded, in sablimity, any
work that has ever emanated from the mind
of man! These are, howaver, the men who
how urge the expediency of separate State
action, ou the part of the States, aod who
openly advocate the policy of precipitatin«
and without seekin
concert with other States j j f esin the ‘
revolution. gorge

WILD Pickons.—The Times says that the
hills around Coloma have been alive the

his lack. Hear him:
Bang—bang! went both barrels at the

gun foated finely about two rods through

boulder and stack fast. When the smoke
of battle cleared away, we cast a longing
glunce at the birds. We saw none dead on
the field of action. but think they were badly’seared. We picked up oar hat and gun

our morning’s sport.
