Her remoteness from the scene of action deprives ber the opportunity of sending troops to the war; but she can contrtbute money. It should be made a point with both the Union parties, to impress upon the’minds of their candidates for the Legislature, the propriety and duty of passing an act submitting toa vote of the people at the earliest possible day, a proposition to give or loan to the General Government a million of dollars. The people will ratify it and the Government receive the money with a double pleasure, as conveying not only material aid, but an assurance of the inflexible fidelity of her grateful children resident on the Pacific coast. There is one ‘big’ alternative for those who wouldn’t like to pay the extra tax. It is suggested in the lines of the Confederacy national song. The loyal will not grumble ; and those who are disloyal ought to be made pay their proportion, anyhow. ——_———_-+ Tue Sonpay Act.—The following is the Sunday law passed by the last Legislature : Section 1. Any person who shall hereafter keep open on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, any store, workshop, bar, saloon, banking house, or other place of business, for the purpose of transacting business therein, except as hereinafter especially provided, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not less than five nor more than fifty dollars. Sec. 2. The provisions of this Act shall not apply tothe keeping open of hotels, boarding houses, restaurants, taverns, livery stables, retail drug stores (for the legitimate business of each,) or such manufacturing establishments as are necessarily kept in continual operation to accomplish the business’thereof; nor to the sale of milk, fresh meats, fresh fish, and vegetables. Sec. 3. Prosecutions for violations of this Act may be either by complaint to a Magistrate, or by indictment by a Grand Jury, and all fines and collections upon convictions under this Act sball be paid into the common school tund of the county. Sec. 4. This Act shall be in force from and after the first day of August, 1861. Our Sevators.—So fur as we can hear, our noble Senators, Messrs. Latham and McDougall, are properly representing their constituents. Both sustain the war; both are working for the Pacific Rail Road, and both wi!] meet with that just reward hereafter to which honest industry in a glorious cause is entitled. What an incomparable blessing it is— sparklingall over with beatificsplendor—that Gwin, of Mississppi, or some other of the seceding States, no longer misrepresents California on the floor of the United States Senate { — os InDEPENDENT Papers.—We have seen an item classifying the Union papers of this State which have a leaning, and those that are entirely independent of party trammel. The Hypravtic Press is not mentioned. We . should like to know where a paper is to be . found more fearlessly independent in the; expression of its opinions And as to our . Union sentiments—they have cost us the! ‘secession’ of about a hundred anti-coercion subscribers. But we still float ; and even it came to a sink, the two extended fingers . would still be up, to denote “scissors!” _OO Bey. McCvuttocu.-~We hear of this man . in connected . sha following item : Ben. McCulloch was in the engagement . at Carthage with Sigel, as before reported. . They took a guard of 100 Federals, left at: Neosho, prisoners. The Missouri troops _ wished to hang them. Ben. McCulloch refused to du so, and released them on taking oath notto beararms against the confederates, . and sent them towards Springfield, with an . resents NiRSRIEDRESRAS again, and this time his name with a noble act, which is explained by escort of Aakansians, for protection against . the infuriated Missourians.” Two SIDEs TO THE CasE.—In his speech before the Secession State Convention, Judge Shattuck said: “It has not been known before, in any country supposed to be free, that in a city where the laws had not been suspend: d, where the Courts of the United States were clothed with full power, where the Marshal of the United States, with his baton, stood ready to do his office, that a man should be taken, not by a warrant, but by military despotism, from his private family and shut up in a prison without bail.” Nor was it ever before known in any country “supposed tobe free,” that while the laws of that country were in peaceful and impartial ‘operation—its Courts prepared to do equal and exact justice between all classes of citizens—that treason has attempted unblushingly to overthrow both. The text which the gentleman uses is the best commentary upon his own Ianguage. It was just because this country was so free; its Jaws in such admirable force; and its Courts . prepared to execute their full duty, that treason is left without an excuse, and traitors without justification. -. ‘Waar Matter ?—Several papers are anx‘fously making the inquiry, “where did ‘Senator Thornton go?”Who the d—!1 cares, so he never returns could swallow the “to this State, to preach treason against the Goveromest? . escheat e ert arene pared to embark in any desperate enterprise, to be accomplished. OF US ALL.” . The South has always boasted much of its ehivalry—a species of vinglory, which, although neither modest ror courteous, was acquiesced in, because it was regarded to some extent as true. The recognition did not carry with it, however, am acknowledgment of superior bravery. Generosity, hospitality and gallantry were the features admitted, and nothing more. Since the commencement of the unnatural and unnecessary war into which their Confederacy has forced the Government, their boast has not by any means been redeemed by their. acts. Their armies have been forced to evacuate fortified positions without a defensive blow being struck. Their squadrons have been routed by largely inferior numbers ; and their regiments vanquished on almost every field where they attempted to make a stand. This was not because the Southern soldier lacked courage. Fighting under the flag of his country, against foreign invaders, he would march into the jaws of death as boldly and fearlessly as he did on the ensanguined fields of Cerro Cordo or Buena Vista. It is his conscience which makes him acoward. The majesty of an outraged law stares him in the face, and the phantom of a gallows stalks behind him! If he ventures beyond the eamp, he is startled by every bush that is suddenly shaken. When he goes to battle, it is with a conviction that he is fighting inan unholy cause. The martial strains of loyal music pierce to his guilty soul. The serried columns of the patriot army havea terror in their advance movement, which cows him. His arm becomes weak, his voice husky, his aim uncertain. He feels self-condemned, and dare not fight the struggle to its mortal issue. There is a voiceless dignity in the right which treason cannot withstand ; a moral power in the law, before which rebellion falters; a heavenly radiance encircling the brow of Liberty, which the averted eye of conspiracy dare not encounter. Conscience is at work ; courage stands abashed ; and guilt causes flight when no man pursueth. God has ordained the certainty of chastisement ; and the belief of its visitation is, to the political . “CONSCIENCE MAKES COWARDS and civil offender, a weight too ponderous and overpowering to be borne. This consciousness of wrong not only makes a brave man a coward, but it also mak-s him a villain. He stands condemned in his own estimation, and feels that he is so in the estimation of others. Having no longer a self-respect, he becomes reckless of the good opinion of those around him. In such a state of mind, he is prenC ee . RANDOLPH IN FAVOR OF ASSASSINATION.— Edmund Randolph has heretofore been a favored man in California. All parties were solicitous to claim him, and the people, without respect to party, would at any time have showed acquiescence in dvinghimhonor. We was considered to occupy ah eminently conservative position. But one doubt rested against him. He was too silent amid the clashing of opinion as to Ats opin. . ELoavent.—J. H. Warwick, the well known . Francher ’ actor, has Seen nominated by the Republicans e & Butler’s Column of Sacramento county for the Assembly. Ata ratification meeting held a few nights ago, he delivered a speech, of which the following was the eloquent peroration : “If God in his wisdom has doomed this nation to destruction—if her mission is fulfilled, and er glory ts to pass away—let the groans of her . issolution resemble the agony of her birth ; and . 2 . ions, An honorable man never permits himself . as she was born, so let her expire, amid the shock to be doubted, when the opportunities are at hand . of contending armies, the roar of the battle, the for prompt and immediate explanation.

He was proposed by many asa suit; Let her punishment be an example so terrible, able person to return to the United States Sen. that posterity, fur a thousand years to come, ate. The enthusiasm attaching to his name was repressed in the Republican ranks only because skall tremble at the story of her destruction, and till man shall appreciate the blessings of freedom and learn the secret of governing himself. Let he was also asserted to belong to the Douglas . her name be blotted out from among the nations Democracy. During all these discussions, Mr. Randolp! said nothing. But he has at last . spoken ; and his voice, like the foul air of a vault that has long been closed on putrid matter, escapes but to sicken, and disgust, and horrify! He proves himself the boldest and the vilest of the whole batch of California traitors. He goes even so far as to favor and hope for the assassinatton of the President of the United States! Was ever so brutal a sentiment before uttered in a free State, among a loyal people, and the author permitted to go unpunished ? Oh, the times are sadly out of joint! They must bemended. Henceforth let this man stand accused before the people whose moral sense he has so audaciously outraged. —e @ + THE MeaGRE Lossts.—It is matter of great surprise, on reading the details of battles between the Government and rebel forces, that greater numbers of men are not killed on both sides. The correspondents tell us, in some instances, of the conflict lasting half an hour, an hour, or two hours, with several regiments of t oops engaged, and yet, with the loss of but five or six men. A fight took place near Harrisonville, Mo., between 170 Federals and 500 rebels on the 20th of July, which was stubbornly contested and lasted four hours. The rebels lost 14 men, and the Federals but one. Either the volunteers are not very good marksmen, or their weapons are in some manner at fault. —.-@ oTue War News.—Gen. Scott’s anaconda is tightening its folds. At last accounts the grand army had advanced upon the foe in three formidable divisions. Davis and Beauregard are in forit. They will be compelled either to fight, surrender or retreat. Doubtwithout a scruple as to the means by which it is . less 4 bold stand will be made, and a decisive The reign of terror in the South, has its origin in just such a condition of things as we have been describing. The Southern people do not act in accordance with any of the well established tules of philosophy, propriety or morality. A species of frenzy prevails. Even the municipal lawissetatdefiance. Anarchy prevails throughout all departments and conditions of society. Criminals are released from the prisons. Murder, rapine, violence in every form, not only goes unpunished, but meets with the approbation of the rulers. Statutes are passed legalizing fraud and encouraging dishonesty. Society is either entirely broken up or terrorized. There is no longer safety for life, limb or property. And can a cause which demoralizes in this manner, prosper? Can it hope to meet with the aid or sympathy of right-thinking people? Never! Remorse is doing its own work, with a gnawing, relentless tooth, which strikes deep into the vitals. Ifthe Government had no armies in the field, it could not fail, in the end, to achieve a conquest. Treason, traitors, conspiracy and conspirators are self-destroying; and, sooner or later, must meet with an inevitable doom. e THe SunpAay Law.—To-morrow this law, passed by the late Legislature, goes into effect for the first time. Will it be obeyed? is a question frequently asked, and which we have heard answered both negatively and affirmatively. There is a large class of leading merchants and business men, who are anxious the law should be rigidly enforced. They maintain, that aside from any religious observance of the Sabbath, it is necessary to secure them that rest from the harrowing cares and toils of secular labor, so necessary to the héalth of both body and mind. The dry gcods merchant, the banker, the clothier, for instance, each wishes to avail himself of its immunities ; but if some one or more persons in the same line of business, refuse to comply with the terms of the act, these are, in self-defence, compelled to place themselves in the position of violaters of the law, by keeping open their stores, to secure that portion of trade which would otherwise be lost to them. Such men call for the enforcement of thelaw. There are others, such as butchers, provision “dealers and saloon proprietors, who may not be willing to abide its enforcerneut. The officers of the law must settle the question as betveen them. It must be apparent to every one, that the provisions of such an act Will meet with greater resistance in mining towns than eise:' here. In large cities it is no inconvenience for all classes and conditions of people to lay in their supplies on Saturday nights. The laboring man and mechanic receive their week’s wages at that time, and have the markets at hand to furnish every article demanded by their wants. Among the miners it is different. Even in those cases where the money is abundant, time 1s a matter of great importance. The miner is employed in his claims to a late hour on Saturday evening— later, perhaps, than on any other evening—and is often as far removed as two, three and four miles from the place whence his supplies are derived. Sunday is his day of leisure, and it is then that he makes his purchases for the week that is to ensue. His compliance with the act, therefore, will be of compulsion, and compulsion only. The law, we think, will be found almost inoperative in mining regions. If the class of business men of whom we have first spoken, wish to see it enforced for their own special protection, they will be compelled to go into the Courts to contest the matter; which may bring them the required relief. A Frre-Eater.—A secession county convention was recently held at Sacramento. John'Q. Brown was nominated for State Senator—the man who came within three votes of beating Tom , Findley for State Treasurer. Major Gillis said he (Brown) was absent at W ; but “he would swallow a hot stove if required by that. we stand here, Ke to do so.” j e think John could doit.

We are glad to observe that this worthy example is being imitated by our Government. Col. Sigel has been advanced to the rank of a Brigadier General. Other worthy instances have occurred, not now remembered, reflecting credit upon the. system. Soldiers will risk more, and be actuated by motives of a higher ambition, who feel that honors are in store for those who exhibit heroism. THe SACRAMENTO Uwxton.—There was a time when the political parties with whom this paper refused to affiliate, accused it of having no opin ions of its own. The same denunciation has been hurled against other papers of a purely independent character, which refused to harness themselves in the traces of political Juggernaut. If the accusation ever had force, as regarded the Union, that time has gone by. This noble paper, as its name imports, is truly Union, of the Union and for the Union—with all of the fine ability and immense resources which it can command. Its circulation, at this time immense, ought to be quadrupled. The loyal sentiments which it utters and disseminates among thousands of readers, meet with a cordial response in every patriotic bosom. Mild, but firm; dignified, but bold; argumentative and impartial, its articles must command vast influence in strengthening the Union cause. Recently it has added George Wilkes to the number of its war correspondents. This is a splendid acquisition; and complete as its summaries of Atlantic news have heretofore been, the glowing pen of this gifted writer will spice them with an intellectual savor which will give them new interest to Pacific readers. +o + SELF-CONDEMNING.—Portions of the speech of Tod Robinson, at the reassembling of the ment troops. Should they decline the en-. State Secession Convention, are a terrible decounter, the moral effect upon the Southern . nunciation against the leaders of the Southern people will be as disheartening as though . rebellion, although intended to have quite a difthey had suffered actual defeat. To this complexion thair desperate fortunes will come at last; and whether they succeed in maintaining their ground at Manassas Junetion, or Richmond, or any judiciously selected point, it will be but a temporary triumph. The determined squadrons of the Government are encircling them, and escape from their crushing power is utterly impossible. >The secessionists love the States of their nativity so much, that they would rather see the Union overthrown than consent to a relinquishment of any of the (ridiculous) rights which they claim under and by virtue of the assumed sovereignty of those States; and yet, they applauded Judge Shattuck, a Yankee, when he abused and . villified New England! Afterwards, they retcarded him by a prominent nomination on their ticket! Wnuy Don’t Tory Go?—The Southern Secessionist says he “goes with the State of his . nativity ?” : Why don’t he go stile (> The secessionists are for “peace ;” and well they may be, after reading the news brought by each successive pony. They didn't think of “peace,” however, at the time Fort Sumter was . attacked, nor until two hundred thousand sol. diers were in the field to avenge that outrage. SG TER al ERE (>Mr. Kittrell, of Sonoma, in seconding the nomination of Judge Shattuck, before the Secession State Convention, said: “More than that, he [Shattuck] was a New England man by birth and education, embodying all that sterling honesty and integrity which characterized the sturdy sons of Miles—what was his name ?—Standish and the others that came over in the old Mayflower.” The rebels down South have a different manner of speaking of New England men, styling them—what do you call it?—‘blue bellies,” “mackerel-catchers,” etc. We believe the Convention, after all, admitted there was such a quality among the Yankees as “that sterling honesty and integrity,” by indorsing Judge Shattuck as its candidate. Ss Convict Lasor.—The San Francisco Journal complains, that Thomas Ogg Shaw, the great manufacturer of agricultural implements, isemploying convict labor, to the detriment of honest mechanics. This labor is procured at about 50 ceuts per day. The Journal says: “We do not propose interference with their private enterprises; but itis our intention to combat and endeavor to destroy a system of under-working which menaces the interests of a large number of industrious citizens. “The coopers allege that before transferring the work to the State Prison, Dow & Co. allowed them $1 25 for each whisky barrel manufactured ; then the price was reduced to one dollar, afterwards to 80 cents. At that rate a good workman, working ten hours a day, could. earn about $2 40. “It seems like a miserable policy for the State to permit the employment of convicts in the trades by which a large and important body of citizens obtain a livelihood, and when every prisoner drives a mechanic from the workshops, and cuts down his wages to starvation rates.” j (>John R. McConnell is represented as hav ing said, two or three months ago— . “I stand just that way. I go with my State. As goes Kentucky, so will I go. And as sure as entucky will be out of the Union in two weeks.” This nman aspires to be Governor of California: If he holds these sentiments now, would he dare, if elected, to take the required oath of office ? wi .

The text which the gentleman uses is the best commentary upon his own Ianguage. It was just because this country was so free; its Jaws in such admirable force; and its Courts . prepared to execute their full duty, that treason is left without an excuse, and traitors without justification. -. ‘Waar Matter ?—Several papers are anx‘fously making the inquiry, “where did ‘Senator Thornton go?”Who the d—!1 cares, so he never returns could swallow the “to this State, to preach treason against the Goveromest? . escheat e ert arene pared to embark in any desperate enterprise, to be accomplished. OF US ALL.” . The South has always boasted much of its ehivalry—a species of vinglory, which, although neither modest ror courteous, was acquiesced in, because it was regarded to some extent as true. The recognition did not carry with it, however, am acknowledgment of superior bravery. Generosity, hospitality and gallantry were the features admitted, and nothing more. Since the commencement of the unnatural and unnecessary war into which their Confederacy has forced the Government, their boast has not by any means been redeemed by their. acts. Their armies have been forced to evacuate fortified positions without a defensive blow being struck. Their squadrons have been routed by largely inferior numbers ; and their regiments vanquished on almost every field where they attempted to make a stand. This was not because the Southern soldier lacked courage. Fighting under the flag of his country, against foreign invaders, he would march into the jaws of death as boldly and fearlessly as he did on the ensanguined fields of Cerro Cordo or Buena Vista. It is his conscience which makes him acoward. The majesty of an outraged law stares him in the face, and the phantom of a gallows stalks behind him! If he ventures beyond the eamp, he is startled by every bush that is suddenly shaken. When he goes to battle, it is with a conviction that he is fighting inan unholy cause. The martial strains of loyal music pierce to his guilty soul. The serried columns of the patriot army havea terror in their advance movement, which cows him. His arm becomes weak, his voice husky, his aim uncertain. He feels self-condemned, and dare not fight the struggle to its mortal issue. There is a voiceless dignity in the right which treason cannot withstand ; a moral power in the law, before which rebellion falters; a heavenly radiance encircling the brow of Liberty, which the averted eye of conspiracy dare not encounter. Conscience is at work ; courage stands abashed ; and guilt causes flight when no man pursueth. God has ordained the certainty of chastisement ; and the belief of its visitation is, to the political . “CONSCIENCE MAKES COWARDS and civil offender, a weight too ponderous and overpowering to be borne. This consciousness of wrong not only makes a brave man a coward, but it also mak-s him a villain. He stands condemned in his own estimation, and feels that he is so in the estimation of others. Having no longer a self-respect, he becomes reckless of the good opinion of those around him. In such a state of mind, he is prenC ee . RANDOLPH IN FAVOR OF ASSASSINATION.— Edmund Randolph has heretofore been a favored man in California. All parties were solicitous to claim him, and the people, without respect to party, would at any time have showed acquiescence in dvinghimhonor. We was considered to occupy ah eminently conservative position. But one doubt rested against him. He was too silent amid the clashing of opinion as to Ats opin. . ELoavent.—J. H. Warwick, the well known . Francher ’ actor, has Seen nominated by the Republicans e & Butler’s Column of Sacramento county for the Assembly. Ata ratification meeting held a few nights ago, he delivered a speech, of which the following was the eloquent peroration : “If God in his wisdom has doomed this nation to destruction—if her mission is fulfilled, and er glory ts to pass away—let the groans of her . issolution resemble the agony of her birth ; and . 2 . ions, An honorable man never permits himself . as she was born, so let her expire, amid the shock to be doubted, when the opportunities are at hand . of contending armies, the roar of the battle, the for prompt and immediate explanation.

Let he was also asserted to belong to the Douglas . her name be blotted out from among the nations Democracy. During all these discussions, Mr. Randolp! said nothing. But he has at last . spoken ; and his voice, like the foul air of a vault that has long been closed on putrid matter, escapes but to sicken, and disgust, and horrify! He proves himself the boldest and the vilest of the whole batch of California traitors. He goes even so far as to favor and hope for the assassinatton of the President of the United States! Was ever so brutal a sentiment before uttered in a free State, among a loyal people, and the author permitted to go unpunished ? Oh, the times are sadly out of joint! They must bemended. Henceforth let this man stand accused before the people whose moral sense he has so audaciously outraged. —e @ + THE MeaGRE Lossts.—It is matter of great surprise, on reading the details of battles between the Government and rebel forces, that greater numbers of men are not killed on both sides. The correspondents tell us, in some instances, of the conflict lasting half an hour, an hour, or two hours, with several regiments of t oops engaged, and yet, with the loss of but five or six men. A fight took place near Harrisonville, Mo., between 170 Federals and 500 rebels on the 20th of July, which was stubbornly contested and lasted four hours. The rebels lost 14 men, and the Federals but one. Either the volunteers are not very good marksmen, or their weapons are in some manner at fault. —.-@ oTue War News.—Gen. Scott’s anaconda is tightening its folds. At last accounts the grand army had advanced upon the foe in three formidable divisions. Davis and Beauregard are in forit. They will be compelled either to fight, surrender or retreat. Doubtwithout a scruple as to the means by which it is . less 4 bold stand will be made, and a decisive The reign of terror in the South, has its origin in just such a condition of things as we have been describing. The Southern people do not act in accordance with any of the well established tules of philosophy, propriety or morality. A species of frenzy prevails. Even the municipal lawissetatdefiance. Anarchy prevails throughout all departments and conditions of society. Criminals are released from the prisons. Murder, rapine, violence in every form, not only goes unpunished, but meets with the approbation of the rulers. Statutes are passed legalizing fraud and encouraging dishonesty. Society is either entirely broken up or terrorized. There is no longer safety for life, limb or property. And can a cause which demoralizes in this manner, prosper? Can it hope to meet with the aid or sympathy of right-thinking people? Never! Remorse is doing its own work, with a gnawing, relentless tooth, which strikes deep into the vitals. Ifthe Government had no armies in the field, it could not fail, in the end, to achieve a conquest. Treason, traitors, conspiracy and conspirators are self-destroying; and, sooner or later, must meet with an inevitable doom. e THe SunpAay Law.—To-morrow this law, passed by the late Legislature, goes into effect for the first time. Will it be obeyed? is a question frequently asked, and which we have heard answered both negatively and affirmatively. There is a large class of leading merchants and business men, who are anxious the law should be rigidly enforced. They maintain, that aside from any religious observance of the Sabbath, it is necessary to secure them that rest from the harrowing cares and toils of secular labor, so necessary to the héalth of both body and mind. The dry gcods merchant, the banker, the clothier, for instance, each wishes to avail himself of its immunities ; but if some one or more persons in the same line of business, refuse to comply with the terms of the act, these are, in self-defence, compelled to place themselves in the position of violaters of the law, by keeping open their stores, to secure that portion of trade which would otherwise be lost to them. Such men call for the enforcement of thelaw. There are others, such as butchers, provision “dealers and saloon proprietors, who may not be willing to abide its enforcerneut. The officers of the law must settle the question as betveen them. It must be apparent to every one, that the provisions of such an act Will meet with greater resistance in mining towns than eise:' here. In large cities it is no inconvenience for all classes and conditions of people to lay in their supplies on Saturday nights. The laboring man and mechanic receive their week’s wages at that time, and have the markets at hand to furnish every article demanded by their wants. Among the miners it is different. Even in those cases where the money is abundant, time 1s a matter of great importance. The miner is employed in his claims to a late hour on Saturday evening— later, perhaps, than on any other evening—and is often as far removed as two, three and four miles from the place whence his supplies are derived. Sunday is his day of leisure, and it is then that he makes his purchases for the week that is to ensue. His compliance with the act, therefore, will be of compulsion, and compulsion only. The law, we think, will be found almost inoperative in mining regions. If the class of business men of whom we have first spoken, wish to see it enforced for their own special protection, they will be compelled to go into the Courts to contest the matter; which may bring them the required relief. A Frre-Eater.—A secession county convention was recently held at Sacramento. John'Q. Brown was nominated for State Senator—the man who came within three votes of beating Tom , Findley for State Treasurer. Major Gillis said he (Brown) was absent at W ; but “he would swallow a hot stove if required by that. we stand here, Ke to do so.” j e think John could doit.

We are glad to observe that this worthy example is being imitated by our Government. Col. Sigel has been advanced to the rank of a Brigadier General.

Other worthy instances have occurred, not now remembered, reflecting credit upon the. system. Soldiers will risk more, and be actuated by motives of a higher ambition, who feel that honors are in store for those who exhibit heroism. THe SACRAMENTO Uwxton.—There was a time when the political parties with whom this paper refused to affiliate, accused it of having no opin ions of its own. The same denunciation has been hurled against other papers of a purely independent character, which refused to harness themselves in the traces of political Juggernaut. If the accusation ever had force, as regarded the Union, that time has gone by. This noble paper, as its name imports, is truly Union, of the Union and for the Union—with all of the fine ability and immense resources which it can command. Its circulation, at this time immense, ought to be quadrupled. The loyal sentiments which it utters and disseminates among thousands of readers, meet with a cordial response in every patriotic bosom. Mild, but firm; dignified, but bold; argumentative and impartial, its articles must command vast influence in strengthening the Union cause. Recently it has added George Wilkes to the number of its war correspondents. This is a splendid acquisition; and complete as its summaries of Atlantic news have heretofore been, the glowing pen of this gifted writer will spice them with an intellectual savor which will give them new interest to Pacific readers. +o + SELF-CONDEMNING.—Portions of the speech of Tod Robinson, at the reassembling of the ment troops. Should they decline the en-. State Secession Convention, are a terrible decounter, the moral effect upon the Southern . nunciation against the leaders of the Southern people will be as disheartening as though . rebellion, although intended to have quite a difthey had suffered actual defeat. To this complexion thair desperate fortunes will come at last; and whether they succeed in maintaining their ground at Manassas Junetion, or Richmond, or any judiciously selected point, it will be but a temporary triumph. The determined squadrons of the Government are encircling them, and escape from their crushing power is utterly impossible. >The secessionists love the States of their nativity so much, that they would rather see the Union overthrown than consent to a relinquishment of any of the (ridiculous) rights which they claim under and by virtue of the assumed sovereignty of those States; and yet, they applauded Judge Shattuck, a Yankee, when he abused and . villified New England! Afterwards, they retcarded him by a prominent nomination on their ticket! Wnuy Don’t Tory Go?—The Southern Secessionist says he “goes with the State of his . nativity ?” : Why don’t he go stile (> The secessionists are for “peace ;” and well they may be, after reading the news brought by each successive pony. They didn't think of “peace,” however, at the time Fort Sumter was . attacked, nor until two hundred thousand sol. diers were in the field to avenge that outrage. SG TER al ERE (>Mr. Kittrell, of Sonoma, in seconding the nomination of Judge Shattuck, before the Secession State Convention, said: “More than that, he [Shattuck] was a New England man by birth and education, embodying all that sterling honesty and integrity which characterized the sturdy sons of Miles—what was his name ?—Standish and the others that came over in the old Mayflower.” The rebels down South have a different manner of speaking of New England men, styling them—what do you call it?—‘blue bellies,” “mackerel-catchers,” etc. We believe the Convention, after all, admitted there was such a quality among the Yankees as “that sterling honesty and integrity,” by indorsing Judge Shattuck as its candidate. Ss Convict Lasor.—The San Francisco Journal complains, that Thomas Ogg Shaw, the great manufacturer of agricultural implements, isemploying convict labor, to the detriment of honest mechanics. This labor is procured at about 50 ceuts per day. The Journal says: “We do not propose interference with their private enterprises; but itis our intention to combat and endeavor to destroy a system of under-working which menaces the interests of a large number of industrious citizens. “The coopers allege that before transferring the work to the State Prison, Dow & Co. allowed them $1 25 for each whisky barrel manufactured ; then the price was reduced to one dollar, afterwards to 80 cents. At that rate a good workman, working ten hours a day, could. earn about $2 40. “It seems like a miserable policy for the State to permit the employment of convicts in the trades by which a large and important body of citizens obtain a livelihood, and when every prisoner drives a mechanic from the workshops, and cuts down his wages to starvation rates.” j (>John R. McConnell is represented as hav ing said, two or three months ago— . “I stand just that way. I go with my State. As goes Kentucky, so will I go. And as sure as entucky will be out of the Union in two weeks.” This nman aspires to be Governor of California: If he holds these sentiments now, would he dare, if elected, to take the required oath of office ? wi .

The principles of the Declaration of Independence have been disowned.
