ResiGNations—A dispatch from San Francisco says that thirteen officers of the Sixth Infantry have resigned, One who attempted to leave on the last steamer was stopped by Gen. Sumner. The following are argong those who are said to have resigned: -24 Lieut. Stoughton, of N. Y.; iirevet Col, Lay, of Va.; Lieut, Waller, of Va.; Lieut, Smith, of Miss.; Lieut. McLemore, of Ala,; Capt. Garnet, of Va.; Adj. Corly, of Va.; and Maj. Armistead. All of these except Stoughton are understood to head for positions in Jeff. Davis’ army. We have looked over the army register, and can find no such names as Brevet Col. Lay or Major Armistead among the field officers of the Sixth Infaotry. Wither the wrong names are given or else they must have been promoted quite recently. Correr 1x Tuotumne.—The Sonora Age hasbeen farnisbed by Mr. J. EB.

Mr. Drasio Coat Mines.—The Alla learns that the coal mines at Mount Diablo weve recently set on fire, The parties at the mines thought they would be able to extinguish the fire, although it had been raging for several days.

Underwood, of Kentacky, who bas recently been to Washington, writes to a friend in St. Louis, advising the people of Missouri to stand by the Constitution aod maintain the Union, In the letter, which is dated May Ist, he says: Let no folly, or indiscretion, or the imbecility of Mr. Lincoln’s Administration on the one hand, nor sectional pride and affinity, nor glowing portraitures of wrongs, real or imaginary, which the South has endured, (but the existence of which she can alone redress in the Umion, and not out of it,) swerve your gallant State froin her allegiance to a General Government that has never deprived her of a solitary i or inflicted on her a single wrong. The policy of the Administration to all the border States, which have not seceded, is the same. In reference to Kentucky, Mr. Lincoln told me he hoped Kentucky would stand by the Government in the present difficulties, but if she would not do that, let her stand still and take no hostile part against it, and that no hostile step should tread her soil. This is true with Missouri. Let me tell you farther, that the temporizing policy of the Administration, in reference to the assaults and capturing of its forts, arsenals and property is over. Henceforth, they who make war will have war made on them. The monopoly which the South has enjoyed in that direction has ended, and all the powers of the Government henceforth, will be exerted to maintain the property and_ the legal authority of the Government within its just limits. You need not, therefore, be surprised to hear of the vigorous blockade of the Chesapeake and Hampton Roads, and of the ports of seceded States, that if these States erect batteries at Memphis or Vicksburg to,interrupt the commerce of the Mississippi, that measures of stern retaliation or resistance will be inaugurated by the Government, to force the poisoned chalice to the lips of those who first drugged it. CALIPORNIA PassENGERS.—The steamship Champion, which left New York May Ist, for Aspinwall, took nearly four hundred passengers, among whom were many women and children. The Champion went out fully prepared to resist any attack that might be made upon her by Jeff. Davis’s pirates. She has two three-pounders and a six-pounder on deck, one hundred muskets for the crew, anda = of small arms and ammunition. Besides their defensive meastres, the Chief Engineer, Senter Keys, has made arrangements to squirt the contents of the boilers .y any boarding arty, so that the pirates will find themselves iterally “in hot water.” Besides these means of defense, the Champion has on board a large number of revolvers, for the use, in case of necessity, of such passengers on her return as may not be provided with that effective weapon. No attack is anticipated on her outward trip. The pirates will wait until her return, when she will bave the treasure on board. AHEAD OF Ovr GovERNOR.—In view of the troubles which at present beset the country, Gov. McGill, of Washington Territory, has issued a proclamation ca upon all citizens who desire to see the Federal Government properly sustained, to rally around the flag of their country in this hour of trial. He calls upon all the citizens of the territory capable of bearing arms and liable to militia duty, to report immediately to the Adjutant General of the Territory, and proceed at once to organize themselves into companies, and elect their own officers, in the manner prescribed by the militia laws of the territory. San Jose RatLroap.—The counties of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara have voted largely in favor of public aid to the San Jose Railroad Company. A Untrep States sloop of war has been ordered to Acapulco for the protection of California steamers while coaling at that port. ‘DIED.

Underwood, of Kentacky, who bas recently been to Washington, writes to a friend in St. Louis, advising the people of Missouri to stand by the Constitution aod maintain the Union, In the letter, which is dated May Ist, he says: Let no folly, or indiscretion, or the imbecility of Mr. Lincoln’s Administration on the one hand, nor sectional pride and affinity, nor glowing portraitures of wrongs, real or imaginary, which the South has endured, (but the existence of which she can alone redress in the Umion, and not out of it,) swerve your gallant State froin her allegiance to a General Government that has never deprived her of a solitary i or inflicted on her a single wrong. The policy of the Administration to all the border States, which have not seceded, is the same. In reference to Kentucky, Mr. Lincoln told me he

hoped Kentucky would stand by the Government in the present difficulties, but if she would not do that, let her stand still and take no hostile part against it, and that no hostile step should tread her soil. This is true with Missouri. Let me tell you farther, that the temporizing policy of the Administration, in reference to the assaults and capturing of its forts, arsenals and property is over. Henceforth, they who make war will have war made on them. The monopoly which the South has enjoyed in that direction has ended, and all the powers of the Government henceforth, will be exerted to maintain the property and_ the legal authority of the Government within its just limits. You need not, therefore, be surprised to hear of the vigorous blockade of the Chesapeake and Hampton Roads, and of the ports of seceded States, that if these States erect batteries at Memphis or Vicksburg to,interrupt the commerce of the Mississippi, that measures of stern retaliation or resistance will be inaugurated by the Government, to force the poisoned chalice to the lips of those who first drugged it. CALIPORNIA PassENGERS.—The steamship Champion, which left New York May Ist, for Aspinwall, took nearly four hundred passengers, among whom were many women and children. The Champion went out fully prepared to resist any attack that might be made upon her by Jeff. Davis’s pirates. She has two three-pounders and a six-pounder on deck, one hundred muskets for the crew, anda = of small arms and ammunition. Besides their defensive meastres, the Chief Engineer, Senter Keys, has made arrangements to squirt the contents of the boilers .y any boarding arty, so that the pirates will find themselves iterally “in hot water.” Besides these means of defense, the Champion has on board a large number of revolvers, for the use, in case of necessity, of such passengers on her return as may not be provided with that effective weapon. No attack is anticipated on her outward trip. The pirates will wait until her return, when she will bave the treasure on board. AHEAD OF Ovr GovERNOR.—In view of the troubles which at present beset the country, Gov. McGill, of Washington Territory, has issued a proclamation ca upon all citizens who desire to see the Federal Government properly sustained, to rally around the flag of their country in this hour of trial. He calls upon all the citizens of the territory capable of bearing arms and liable to militia duty, to report immediately to the Adjutant General of the Territory, and proceed at once to organize themselves into companies, and elect their own officers, in the manner prescribed by the militia laws of the territory. San Jose RatLroap.—The counties of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara have voted largely in favor of public aid to the San Jose Railroad Company. A Untrep States sloop of war has been ordered to Acapulco for the protection of California steamers while coaling at that port. ‘DIED.
