CALL FOR A STATE CONVENTION. Resolutions adopted by the Democratic State Comunittee, May 8, 1861, Wuereas, The Democratic party has ever been a y of fealty to free government and fraternal devotion to the rights of the States of the Union, and of an unwavering fidelity to the laws, the Constitution, the Union, and the cou ady to maintain them by all proper means and at rn Repo And whereas, The country is now defending itself against a war without justification, or deeent excuse; waged upon it by certain Seceded States—which is manifestly a war for the invasion of.owr National Capital; for the overthrow of our National Government; the oppression of the loyal States ; the subjugation of the Union; a war to humble in the dust our National flag; to wrench from the American people their constitutional — of determining for themselves their own policy, foreign and domestic, and to blot them out from the class of the great powers of the world : And whereas such war, so aggressive in its character, and so deadly in its purposes, forces upon the countryan issue which can be met but ih one way by any people having the common instinct of self-preservation, or worthy of an existence as a nation: Therefore, be it unanimously resolved by this Committee : 1, That at this time, when the country 1s resisting with all its might a war of invasion and destruction erence is Rice “ogg ty to the patriot, and neutrality is cowardice, if not prenieditated disloyalty. 2. That the people of California in the past have been most anxious for peace throughout the land, and will hail with f° an honorable t in the future ; at the same time they are, ubove all things, for the Union, the Country andthe Flag, against all assailants—no sage who they are, whence they come, or ; at in this great crisis of the American nation and name of our State will always, as heretofore, faithfully discharge her Constitutional obligations to the Union and the Federal Government, and, as in duty bound, will earnestly sustain the constituted authorities at Washington in eh eager nent to deprotect either against this most unjushakie and vermturel wer. ' R in the name of the loyal people of Califo! we demand of the General Governrhent, all its power, to protect their lives and pea ped on the high seas, between this coast the Atlantic, from the piratical flag which already thréatens injury, and would inflict deon on both. structi ; . That all — av me neg wy ae in overwhelming erisis; and he who would oa, reviving them, to distract the people, or to wrest from their honest and patriotic devotion some sordid partisan advantage, is hot true to the country, nor worthy of the name of American citizen. * 6. That'as Califomians, we appeal to the whole people of California without distinction ba a 4 ‘or reference to partisan issues, to stand us by our country and our fing. that all e ay know that the great Union Democratic Sede is the overpowering majority ns. 7. That with these views we cordially invite all‘patriotic then, who hold these sentiments, to theet in Convention at Sacramento, on the Fourth day of July next, at 12 o'clock, to nomimate’ tes to be supported at the ensuin election; and we recommend in the election © re that the only test be approval of these resolutions and willingness to support the canno That the people of each county be requested to meet in convention in their respective counties, Upon the 13th day of June next, for the purpose of electing delegates to the Convention: th sich tnatwer ne they may deem Proper. — TetwoRaPitc CoanesronpENcs.—The following correspondence is said to bave passed between Gov. Hicks, of Maryland, and Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island, on the 26tb of April: ‘Hicks'to Sp “T understand you are about to proceed to Washington with the Rhode island regimént.

He says most of the residents are broke, although they say they are rich in “feet” in mining claims—each foot worth a ‘million, Everything is very high. ee PRIVATEERING. mation of Jeff. Davis, the Provisional Pres ident of the Confederate States. It is nothing less than an invitation to all the rascals in creation to fit out piratical vessels to prey upon the commerce of the Northern States, under a show of legal autbority. It is not expected that any considerable num ber of the citizens of the Golf States will enlist in this business, for the reason that they have not the sbips, and ealt water is not their element ; but they calcalate that every ship-owner of Europe, and many in the Northern States, willeagerly accept the invitation, and in this respect they are certain to be disappointed. Jeff. Davis and his co-conspirators having formed their estimate of mankiudin general upon the workings of secession in their own section, have not arrived at very correct conclusious of the morality of civilized nations. They may yet learn that all mankind are not so eager as the rebels of the Gulf States to seize and appropriate the property of others, The Confederate States have not been acknowledged as independent by any Government on earth, aud privateeriag under the Confederate flag will be treated as piracy by every civilized nation. Possibly a few persons may be found rash enough to engage in the business, but they will be hunted down and hung as pirates, A dispatch by the last Pony, states that letters of marque bave already beeo grented to three or four vessels, which bad beeu titted out with the view of intercepting the steamers bearing California treasure. It is not impossible that they may succeed in seizing one or two treasure shipments, but the chances are that the fitting out of privateers will notin any case prove a paying investment. F State Convention. We are enabled to lay before our readers, to-day, the resolutions adopted by the Democratic State Central Committee. As was stated in the dispatch publisbed in our last, the Convention is called for the 4th of July, and all persons, without respect to former political predelictions, who are in favor of the American Union, above all things, are invited to participate in the election of delegates. The Committee wisely determined that partizan platforms aod organizations should be sunk in the present momentous crisis, and we do not doubt that all Union men of the State will respond to the call, The apportionment of delegates is made on the whole number of votes cast in the several counties at the last election. The Convention will contain 648 delegates, of which Nevada county will be entitled to 36. We sball publish the apportionment iu our next. Vinointa Grepit.—The Virginians cannot understand why it is that the bonds of their State are selling at fifty cents on the dollar in the New York market, while the State bonds of New York and Pennsylvania are at par. The Virginia papers attribute it to a conspiracy of the New York brokers, to which the New York papers reply, by advising the Virginians to buy up their own State bonds.

Davis’ proclamation of piracy caused some fears in New York that the California steamer Champion would fall a prey to some Southern freebooter, and the Confederacy thus receive a supply of specie.

The Legislature uo doubtedly pursued a wise course in seuding the Committee to the scene of troubles. Brow iow Sricks To tut Uxion.—-We have had as yet no deiinite intelligence as to the effect the attack on Sumter bad in Tennessee. It appears, however, that Senator Johnson, Emerson Etberidge, Parson Brownlow and other leading men still stand by the stars and stripes. The Knoxville Whig—Brownlow’s paper—of April 17th. referring to Lincoln's proclamation, says: We have looked the matter full in the face, and we are still on the side of the Government. We shall take sides with the Stars and Stripes, and in the face of all the bullying and blustering of disunionists, we endorse the action of our Government. Insult after insult has been offered, without resentment on the part of our Government; and worse than all, a deliberate urpose to march upon the Capitol at Washington, by the rebels of the Southern Confederacy, has come to light, and it is the duty of the Government to defend it until the Potomac runs with blood to ite mouth! This army called for is ready to defend the Capital, in part at least. Troops, horses, boats, provisions, munitions of war, fast-sailing steamers, filled with provisions, and war steamers to back them up and land supplies at the forts occupied by American officers and soldiers, go out to sea daily, with sealed instructions; and so rapidly are they accumulating in the Southern waters that the mental vision of insulting fire-eaters and bullying traitors is dazzled in the effort to follow them. We are glad to see it, as much as we deprecate the shedding of blood. It demonstrates that we have a Government, and we say let that fact stand out before the world in bold relief, if it requires a seven years’ war to demonstrate it! All this ought to have occurred under Buchanan months ago, and it ought to have occurred under Lincoln weeks ago; but better late than never.

Breeze to charter twenty steamers of A light draft for three months, and to arm them with nine inch guns and fit them ready for sea, Simonton, of the Bulletin, while writing a dispatch in the telegraph office at Washington, April 21st, was attacked by young Butler, son of Col. Butler of San Francisco. The stick whieh Butler used was broken at the first blow, and Simonton instantaneously cut and ran across the avenue hastily, pursued by Butler. Simonton ran so fast that the crowd, which any thing will collect now, separated the parties. Lieut. Jennifer, who first gave information to the Virginians of the condition of matters at Carlisle Barracks, next resigned his commission and finally ran away, has been arrested at Hanover, Pa.,,and will be tried as a traitor. ' Advices from New Orleans state that the attempt to negotiate the Confederate loan was a signal failure. Only $160,000 were taken there altogether. Montgomery advices state that $12,000,000 have been taken in all. The soldiers were unpaid. They had plenty of provisions, but were short of muniticns of war.

Troops, horses, boats, provisions, munitions of war, fast-sailing steamers, filled with provisions, and war steamers to back them up and land supplies at the forts occupied by American officers and soldiers, go out to sea daily, with sealed instructions; and so rapidly are they accumulating in the Southern waters that the mental vision of insulting fire-eaters and bullying traitors is dazzled in the effort to follow them. We are glad to see it, as much as we deprecate the shedding of blood. It demonstrates that we have a Government, and we say let that fact stand out before the world in bold relief, if it requires a seven years’ war to demonstrate it! All this ought to have occurred under Buchanan months ago, and it ought to have occurred under Lincoln weeks ago; but better late than never. Decetvep.—The secessionists of the Gulf States have all along been deceived, as to the true sentiment of the Northern people. Doors open at 7 o’cloek. Commence at 8 o’clobk, . A.

Butler of San Francisco. The stick whieh Butler used was broken at the first blow, and Simonton instantaneously cut and ran across the avenue hastily, pursued by Butler. Simonton ran so fast that the crowd, which any thing will collect now, separated the parties. Lieut. Jennifer, who first gave information to the Virginians of the condition of matters at Carlisle Barracks, next resigned his commission and finally ran away, has been arrested at Hanover, Pa.,,and will be tried as a traitor. ' Advices from New Orleans state that the attempt to negotiate the Confederate loan was a signal failure. Only $160,000 were taken there altogether. Montgomery advices state that $12,000,000 have been taken in all. The soldiers were unpaid. They had plenty of provisions, but were short of muniticns of war.
