The enemies of our country have dared to invade our soil ; Kentucky isin danger, She has vainly striven to keep peace with herneighbors; our State is now invaded by those who professed to be her friends, but who now attempt to conquer her. © true son of Kentucky can longer hesitate as to his duty to hie State and country, The invaders must, God willing, be expelled.

Rally, then, m countrymen, around the flag our fathers loved, and which has sheltered us so long. Icall you to arms for self-defense, and for the protection of all that is dear to freemen.

McCLetLan.—From the favorable notices of the prese, and of Washington letter writers, the public have been led to expect that Gen, McClellan will prove himself an accomplished commander ; and we sincerely hope the public expectation will not be disappointed. He did up his work well in Western Virginia, and to his efficient services ia that quarter is mainly due his transfer to the more important com. mand on the Potomac, He has one good qualification—he isa man of few words. Io a late review of the troops on the Virginia side of the Potomac, he was induced to make a epeech, which is reported as followe: “SoL_piers—We have had our last retreat. We have seen our last defeat. You stand b me, and I will stand by you, and hencefort victory will crown our efforts.” This partakes somewhat of the bragadocio, and would subject him to much ridieule if the chances of war should compel him to retreat before gaining a victory. Still, it isthe right way to talk to soldiers, agithasa tendency to inspire them with confidence.

Dr. Raymond has analized the contents of the stomach of the soldier who died so suddenly at Camp Lyon, and says be died from the effects of opium. Rerorten Secession Canr.—We published in our last, an extract from the letter of a Los Angeles correspondent, stating that a secession camp had been formed just beyond the southern boundary of this State, to which armed travelers were burrying from California. The following, from the Visalia Delta, of Sept. 29tb, partially confirms the report: A report is in limited circulation here to the effect that Judge Terry and Dan Showalter, formerly of Mariposa, left Murphy's, Calaveras county, last week, with two hundre and seventy men, to go down on the other side of the Sierras, through the Tejon Pass, to Los Angeles. There, too, itis expected other parties will join, to wit: Tom. Laspeyre of Stockton, with one hundred men, who go down the coast road. Reinforcements are expected on the route by each of the parties mentioned. We do not believe the report, yet there may be something and considerable in it. Between twenty and thirty men, to a greater or less dea armed, and all mounted, left here yesteray morning for somewhere down South, One of the principal men of the party, with whom we are acquainted, stated that he and company were going home through Texas, Compromis«.—Compromise is a word that can now only be uttered by disloyal lips, or thuse in the interests of rebellion. So long as rebels bave arms in their hands, thare is nothing to compromise but the honor and integrity of the Government.— [ Joseph Holt, Departep.—Dr. Scott, his wife and six children, left thie State for Panama, on the steamer of the Ist. From the Isthmus they will proceed by the West India mail steamer to Southampton ; thence upon a general tour of Europe. The Silver Age says that the firet iron foundry in Nevada Territory poured its first casting on the 27th ult. The establishment is located between Silver City and Gold Hill, and is owned by Hyde, Booth & Co, Karruquake.—The Union says that a slight shock of an earthquake shook up the early waking folks of Sacramento at four o’clock on Monday morning last, Scppenty Drizp Ur,—At Folsom the other day some miners, while running a tunnel into a hill at that town “tapped the basin” and the consequence was that the water ran out in torrents, and the wells on the hill, much to the surprise and annoyance of the families which there reside, suddenly dried up. Pianet Asta.—The seventieth planet has been discovered by Mr. Paysen, of Madras, and has been named the Asia, as it is the first discovery of the kind which has been made in that quarter of the globe. It is an asteroid between the eleventh and twelfth magnitudes. . * Apranam Kerrer.—This man, who had his trial some five months ago in Sacramento for em ~ ved great bodily harm, and was convicted, has obtained a new hearing by of the Supreme Court. da Tue Catholic Church at San Jose is to be greatly improved and ornamented. The Merpe states that the new plans are drawn on a scale of great magnificence.

It is like a sea of molten iron, boiling furiously. i od SS A PEACE PROPOSITION. A correspondence between Arehbishop Hnghes, of New York. and Bishop Lynch, of Oharleston, onthe eulject of the civil war, bas Jately been poblisbed in the New York papers. The letter of the Archbishop is a calm and impartial review of the causes that led to the war, and in conclusion be gives what he regards as the most practicable plan for an acc.mmodation, He . . . says: That word “peace” is becoming more or less familiar here in the North. In acrisis like this it is not, in my opinion, ex ressive of a sound principle or asafe policy. its meanin changes the basis and the issue of this melancholy war. If changed, it will be a war, not between. the North and the South, geographically considered, but a war between the two t political parties that divide the country. nstead of this partisan hostility, wise patriots should rival each other in restoring or preserving the Union as one nation, its prosperity, and the protection and happiness of its_entire people, in all their legitimate rights. But all this is to be judged of by others, and the opinion of any individual is of the smallest account. If a word of mine could have the slightest influence, I would suggest that, even while the war is going on, there might be a Convention of the seceded States, held within their own borders. One representative might be appointed from each of those States, by the Governors, to meet and examine the whole case as it now stands, arrange and draw up a report of their grievances, or . what they may consider as such, and report to . their several Governors the result of their delib. erations, and-the conclusions at which they . shall have arrived. The same process might be adopted in the . States that have not seceded, and similar reports be made to their respective Governors. This . would be only a preparatory measure to something more important. If a better feeling, or . understanding, could be even partially arrived at, a future Convention of all the States by their representatives would have something to act upon. The difficulties might be investigated and provided for; the Constitution might be revised by general consent, and if the platform—sufli. ciently ample for 3,000,000 at the period when . the Constitution was formed—is found to be of . neither breadth or strength to support a popu. lation of 33,000,000, wise and patriotic men might suggest, according to the rules prescribed . in the original document, the improvements . which the actual condition of the country would . seem to require. ‘The Constitution itself, in its letter and spirit, is, nodoubt, the same as it was . when first framed; but every thing around has . been undergoing a change for near eighty years. . For a peace of that kind I would be a very . sincere, if not an influential, advocate. But to expect that a peace will spring up by the advo. cacy of individuals in the midst of the din and . clash of arms, amidst the mutually alienated . feelings of the people, and the widening of the . breach which has now separated them, would be, in my opinion, hoping against hope. Still, we . must trust that the Almighty will overrule and . direct the final issues of this lamentable contest. . . FepenaL AND CONFEDERATE TROOPS NEAR . WasuixeTon.—Tbe Wasbington correspon. . dent of the Bulletin, writing Sept. 14tb, says, in relation’ to the number? and con. dition of the Federal and Confederate troops in that quarter: It is impossible to give you any very definite statement of the strength of the Federal forces in and near Washington, for the authorities have been quite successful in their efforts to . prevent the communication of the faets to the . public. Itis safe, howevee, to estimate the . number at the Federal capital and vicinity, including Baltimore and the banks of the Poto. mac above Washington for a distance of 15 or . 20 miles, at 160,000 to 170,000 men, of whom . some 1,500 are regulars. Besides these, there . is a large force at and near Fortress Monroe, . variously estimated at from 30,000 to 60,000 . men. No authorized statement of numbers or . politics is attainable; but itis evident that Gen. {cClellan feels confident that he has all the . men he needs; nor does the Government complain of any difficulty in obtaining needed re. cruits, } _ The enemy’s force is estimated in military . circles here at not to exceed 150,000 men in Virginia. But we are assured that their disci. pline is very lax, and that not one half of them . are well supplied with all the equipments which . go to make up the thorough soldier. There . continues to be much dissatisfaction among . them, because they are not led on to take . Washington, hang “Old Abe,” and make marble quarries of the public buildings. Gen. Me. Clellan does not hesitate to declare his convic. tion that the enemy has no purpose of being the assailants. He is progressing rapidly with . his work of preparation for the fall and winter campaign—but will avail himself of all the de-. we at his command a he shall have brought is army up to a hi iscipli aoe ~ p high grade of discipline and Rice axp Corron Cvuutivation.—In anticipation of tle rise in the value of rice, . consequent upon the civil war in America the Sandwich Islanders are turning their . attention to its cultivation. The Advertiser . remarks: Dr. Ford is now putting in . land with rice in Fara Loy cc natives, who have been provided with seed by . Mr. Fuller, of the Board of Education, have al. — planted more or less, we cannot. say how . much in the aggregate, and it is confidently expected that next spring every available taro . patch, far or near, will be planted with rice The Polynesian learns that Mr, Hunnewell of Boston, for many years a resident o?

Tue ships Yankee, Comet and Speedwell are . to forma regular packet li 1 ne i Francisco and Honolulu, en ial "ilew ro xyp.—In San Francis. co, the Sunday law was well observed—only about a twentieth of the saloon keepers, ete,, yiolated it. Complaints for such violations were made against 104 persons or firms. It is rumored that the Liquor Dealers’ Association of that city, at a meeting held Saturday, resolved to observe the law, and gave notice to their members that if they kept open it would be at their own risk, not at that ofthe Association. Frre.—The Tuolumne Courier says “On last Thursday evening, between the hours of nine and ten, a fire broke out in the well-known hotel, Campbell’s Half-way House, on the Sonora road, which :n a short time was burned to the ground. It was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, as no one occupied the house, and there had been neither fires or lights in it for several weeks preyious.” a ee Vermont Evxection.—A despatch from Montpelier, Sept. 3d, says: In the State clection to-day the party line was entirely broken, Holbrook was supported by the Republicans and liberal Democrats. Smalley was supported by the strait Democrats, and Tracy by the Union party. Returns show Holbrook greatly ahead. CONVENTION OF JUSTICES, State oy CauiFoRNIA, County oF Nevana, #8.

Rerorten Secession Canr.—We published in our last, an extract from the letter of a Los Angeles correspondent, stating that a secession camp had been formed just beyond the southern boundary of this State, to which armed travelers were burrying from California. The following, from the Visalia Delta, of Sept. 29tb, partially confirms the report: A report is in limited circulation here to the effect that Judge Terry and Dan Showalter, formerly of Mariposa, left Murphy's, Calaveras county, last week, with two hundre and seventy men, to go down on the other side of the Sierras, through the Tejon Pass, to Los Angeles. There, too, itis expected other parties will join, to wit: Tom. Laspeyre of Stockton, with one hundred men, who go down the coast road. Reinforcements are expected on the route by each of the parties mentioned. We do not believe the report, yet there may be something and considerable in it. Between twenty and thirty men, to a greater or less dea armed, and all mounted, left here yesteray morning for somewhere down South, One of the principal men of the party, with whom we are acquainted, stated that he and company were going home through Texas, Compromis«.—Compromise is a word that can now only be uttered by disloyal lips, or thuse in the interests of rebellion. So long as rebels bave arms in their hands, thare is nothing to compromise but the honor and integrity of the Government.— [ Joseph Holt, Departep.—Dr. Scott, his wife and six children, left thie State for Panama, on the steamer of the Ist.

A correspondence between Arehbishop Hnghes, of New York. and Bishop Lynch, of Oharleston, onthe eulject of the civil war, bas Jately been poblisbed in the New York papers. The letter of the Archbishop is a calm and impartial review of the causes that led to the war, and in conclusion be gives what he regards as the most practicable plan for an acc.mmodation, He . . . says: That word “peace” is becoming more or less familiar here in the North. In acrisis like this it is not, in my opinion, ex ressive of a sound principle or asafe policy. its meanin changes the basis and the issue of this melancholy war. If changed, it will be a war, not between. the North and the South, geographically considered, but a war between the two t political parties that divide the country. nstead of this partisan hostility, wise patriots should rival each other in restoring or preserving the Union as one nation, its prosperity, and the protection and happiness of its_entire people, in all their legitimate rights. But all this is to be judged of by others, and the opinion of any individual is of the smallest account. If a word of mine could have the slightest influence, I would suggest that, even while the war is going on, there might be a Convention of the seceded States, held within their own borders. One representative might be appointed from each of those States, by the Governors, to meet and examine the whole case as it now stands, arrange and draw up a report of their grievances, or . what they may consider as such, and report to . their several Governors the result of their delib. erations, and-the conclusions at which they . shall have arrived. The same process might be adopted in the . States that have not seceded, and similar reports be made to their respective Governors. This . would be only a preparatory measure to something more important. If a better feeling, or . understanding, could be even partially arrived at, a future Convention of all the States by their representatives would have something to act upon. The difficulties might be investigated and provided for; the Constitution might be revised by general consent, and if the platform—sufli. ciently ample for 3,000,000 at the period when . the Constitution was formed—is found to be of . neither breadth or strength to support a popu. lation of 33,000,000, wise and patriotic men might suggest, according to the rules prescribed . in the original document, the improvements . which the actual condition of the country would . seem to require. ‘The Constitution itself, in its letter and spirit, is, nodoubt, the same as it was . when first framed; but every thing around has . been undergoing a change for near eighty years. . For a peace of that kind I would be a very . sincere, if not an influential, advocate. But to expect that a peace will spring up by the advo. cacy of individuals in the midst of the din and . clash of arms, amidst the mutually alienated . feelings of the people, and the widening of the . breach which has now separated them, would be, in my opinion, hoping against hope. Still, we . must trust that the Almighty will overrule and . direct the final issues of this lamentable contest. . . FepenaL AND CONFEDERATE TROOPS NEAR . WasuixeTon.—Tbe Wasbington correspon. . dent of the Bulletin, writing Sept. 14tb, says, in relation’ to the number? and con. dition of the Federal and Confederate troops in that quarter: It is impossible to give you any very definite statement of the strength of the Federal forces in and near Washington, for the authorities have been quite successful in their efforts to . prevent the communication of the faets to the . public. Itis safe, howevee, to estimate the . number at the Federal capital and vicinity, including Baltimore and the banks of the Poto. mac above Washington for a distance of 15 or . 20 miles, at 160,000 to 170,000 men, of whom . some 1,500 are regulars. Besides these, there . is a large force at and near Fortress Monroe, . variously estimated at from 30,000 to 60,000 . men. No authorized statement of numbers or . politics is attainable; but itis evident that Gen. {cClellan feels confident that he has all the . men he needs; nor does the Government complain of any difficulty in obtaining needed re. cruits, } _ The enemy’s force is estimated in military . circles here at not to exceed 150,000 men in Virginia. But we are assured that their disci. pline is very lax, and that not one half of them . are well supplied with all the equipments which . go to make up the thorough soldier. There . continues to be much dissatisfaction among . them, because they are not led on to take . Washington, hang “Old Abe,” and make marble quarries of the public buildings. Gen. Me. Clellan does not hesitate to declare his convic. tion that the enemy has no purpose of being the assailants. He is progressing rapidly with . his work of preparation for the fall and winter campaign—but will avail himself of all the de-. we at his command a he shall have brought is army up to a hi iscipli aoe ~ p high grade of discipline and Rice axp Corron Cvuutivation.—In anticipation of tle rise in the value of rice, . consequent upon the civil war in America the Sandwich Islanders are turning their . attention to its cultivation.

Frre.—The Tuolumne Courier says “On last Thursday evening, between the hours of nine and ten, a fire broke out in the well-known hotel, Campbell’s Half-way House, on the Sonora road, which :n a short time was burned to the ground.
