Precautionary measures have been adopted, and several well-known seeessionists in New York are closely watched. Intelligence from Richmond says that considerable alarm exists there in consequence of the activity of the Government, and the unexpected unity of the North. It was believed in Richmond that Jeff. Davis had notified the Governors of the Border States, now acting in hostility to the Government, to assemble at Montgomery, there to confer with the confederate government. The State Department has instructed Mr. Dayton, the new Minister to Paris, to make known to the French Government that there is not now, nor has there been, nor will there be, any or the least idea entertained by the U.S. Government of suffering a dissolution of the Union to take place in any way whatever. Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, has issued a proclamation to order an election for Representatives to Congress, on the 30th of June. The Union feeling is said to be gaining ground in western Kentucky, where the disloyalty has been most marked. The Connecticut Legislature has unanimously appropriated two millions of dollars for military purposes. Gen. Harney has prepared an address to the people of Maryland urging them to stay in the Union, and that secession will be the ruin of their State.

It was reported that the first demonatration would be to retake the Custom House at Alexandria and the Goeport Navy Yard at Norfolk. The next Pony will bring dates to the 10th inst., and if the reports are well founded we shall probably have some stirring intelligence. We doubt very much whether any offensive demonstration will be made until after the meeting of Congress, unless it be to repel a threatened attack on Washington. If a force leaves Richmond with the avowed, or supposed, intentionfof attacking the Capital, the Government troops , will be likely to meet them half way, and check their further progress, Unton Resowwrioxs Apoprep.—Senaton Chase’s substitute for the Union Resolu‘tions, pledging California to the sapport of the, Union,and Constitution, and. her willingness to. respond.to the call of the Government to repel domestic or foreign foes, was adopted by both branches of the Legielature yesterday. A Union Meertina was held at Downieville on Saturday evening, the 4th inst. Judge Vanelief presided, and strong Union resolutions were adopted. Judge Taylor, A. W. Baldwin and Col. Platt advocated the resolutions, and L. P. Hall opposed them. Proworen.—Lieut.

Expeyozn—The substitute for the Broce. erick expunging resolutions, adopted by the Senate some days ago, were taken up ‘jn the Assembly yesterday, and concurred, in by a vote of 42 ayes to 12 noes, An Arrropriate Desian.—Among the numerous designs for » flag for the Confederate States, submitted to the flag committee of Congress, was one representing seven rattlesnakes tied together by the tails, with & bale of cotton on one side and a jagrof whisky on the other, The fellowgyho,go up this model bas the fre of geniu® ia him, and deserves an office under the opt Government. si Judge Baldwin, of the Supreme Court.

We know that there are good men and true there, who are willing to stand by the South to the last. We have been informed by a gentleman lately from that city, that all the telegraphic reports from thence in relation to this apostacy of New York citizens are enormously exaggerated. If it be not so, the change is certainly of the Union procession of the bone and sinew of New York city, which turned out seven miles in length, in opposition to the Wide-Awakes? We shall wait for confirmation before we are willing to believe in the apostacy of New York city. turned out in opposition to the Wide-Awakes, have now turned out in opposition to the Secessionists. Their defeat at the late election did’nt make them traitors to their country. find in av excbange, the followiag particalars of the mobbing of Senator Jobnson, of Tennessee, at Lynchburg, Va., a brief account of which was received some weeks ago. The aflair bappened about the middle of April: Senator Johnson passed through Lynchburg, and hearing that he was inthe cars, a large crowd gathered around. blocked up the way to and from t one proposed “three were responded to. editor of the Lynchburg Republican, then walked . . ) i We are unwilling to believe the telegraphic rofessed to be the friends of the South, nents of Black Republicanism, as y very extraordinary.

Hardwicke, up to him, and insulted him with several epithets of denunciation, catching at his nose. The fury of the mob ran so high, that the car doors were locked to prevent the Tennessee official from being molested. The Superintendent of the road made his way to where Gov. Johnson was seated, and informed him that the treatment extended to him was the legitimate fruits of his conduct in sending over the telegraph line to East Tennessee the infamous dispatches that had been intercepted at Lynchburg by order of Governor Letcher, advising them to “stand by the Union,” and that if he was guilty of their authorship he could not pass over the road. Governor Johnson denied that he had sent the hes Pompe to which they alluded, and thus secured his passage through. DesrprratR ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—A Frenchman living near West Point, Calaveras county, attempted to commit suicide one day last week. His preparations were all made with an evident design to secure a decent burial. He dug a grave and partially covered himself up, then placed a pistol under his chin and fired; the sail ect up through his face, lodging behind his right eye, causing it to protrude out of its socket. He lay in the grave about four days, unable to extricate himself, when his groans attracted the attention of some miners, who rescued him from his dismal situation. He was taken to the county hospital.— [Calaveras Chronicle. Suspiimity.—An eastern correspondent relates that while a great and excited crowd of eople in New York were awaiting news from Washington, the bells of old Trinity began to peal out the “Star Spangled Banner.” The ople stopped and listened—just as the surging flood is silent a moment, when an avalanche has dammed it up. Then they began to shout, and scream, and fling up their hats, in response to the sacred and patriotic bells. Premature Brast.—On the 30th ult., whilst Mr. V. V. Heacock was blasting rock on the Oglesby road, about thirty miles east of Placerville, a premature explosion took place by which his eyes and face were badly injured. OYSTERS FROM MAZATLAN.—San Francisco is now supplied with large, fine oysters from Mazatlan, from whence any are brought by every steamer. They are said to be better than any on the California or Oregon coast.
