WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL ist CONSCRIPTION AND ReEBELLION.—IJt is well known that the Confederacy long ago had forced by conscription every man capas ble of bearing arms between the ages of 18 tnd 45 in the rebel States into the army.— All the available strength of Secessia 16 in the field. But so far the loyat Statew have relied upon volunteers alone. One million of men without compulsion have been armed to fight the rebels. With our volunteer solfiery to cope with the whole volunteer and conscripted force of the South, we have been enabled to get possession of almost the entire extended seaboard of the revolted States, blockade all the rebel harbors, conquer. Mis» . souri, Kentucky and Tennessee arid balf of Letisiana and Virginia, and aro still gaining plies and talk despondingly of their future.— This information has been so often repeated, ‘that not much ground for doubt can exist that it ia substantially correct. i But the nation has not yet put forth its strength. Not a conscript on our side bas been called to'the field. It appears that the fighting men of the loyal States that the conscription act will aid to put in arms, amount to about four and a half millions.— This estimate only includes those between the ages of 20 and 45. These facts form the basis for intelligent speculation.” If with acw tually less than_a million of then we have.re~1 duced the rebel Confederacy to despair what hope bas rebellion if we throw a conscript army of one, two, or three millions more up~ enit? ieee The power lies, beyond a peradventure, in this Govetnment to utterly exterminate the rebeis— to wipe them out so completely that. the place that: knows them now shall know them no more forever. Unity and determination are only wanted to reunite the whole country under one Gov» ernment and give it a homogeneous people. The conscription act has but tu be carried out to Insure success. England nor France will meddle in American effuirs in the face of ah army composed of more men than all the shipping of the two countries could bring to the continent in two years The conscrip» tiun act, if enforced, as it will and must be if necessary, will insure peace with Europe ~ and Very soon peace among ourselves. The Peace Democracy will probably en» deavor to resist the execution of the law in some districts. But the Government must vindicate its right to the services of its people, and put down the interference, treat» ing the intermeddlersa as rebels and ene~ mies. A judicious distribution of shell, grape and schrapnel among rioters is always found more effective, in an emergency, than blank cartridge: Paciric RattRoaD. THe DIFFICULTY. The Pacifico Railroad Act, under which.com~ panies have been formed and are at work on the endsof the route, is not without its serious imperfections. The policy of divids ing the great work among a ‘number of coi. panies, rather than have it completed ona eonsolidation plan, may be questioned, because the stretch of desert and mountainous country between Pike's Peak and the Hum. bvolat, left as it is to be crossed by a separate company, by the railroad act, has nothing; either in the nature of the country-or the subsidies offered by the Government to invite enterprize. Tho road from the navi» gable waters of this State to. the silver re« gion is attractive enough, when the stetis« ' ties of trade and travel between the two points are examined, to be built without the aid of Government at all. That the Central Pacific Railroad, extending from Sacramens to to the Humboldt will pay ix not doubted by those who have examined the facts bear« ing upon the question. The local trado will pay itself the cost’of construction, So toe, the country to the east of Pike’s Peak is raps \ idly settling up and is ready to begin to feed the railroad company building that part of the transcontinental railroad. _Butthe Great Basin is almost an uninhabitable waste. It haa neither wood nor water. It cannot be settled to any extent. The company that undertakes to construct a railroad across that waste .will have to incur the expense of bringing its timber from a great distance,— The alternate sections of land granted by the Railread Act, are of no value along the line privilege of selecting lands eleewhere. But if selected away frem the road the company has not the advantage of the ewhanced value that the railroad would give to lands along its route, which is one of the best indices, ments offered to.railroad companies connect~ ed with grants of land. And as the Great Basin can never be populated to any great extent on “account of the desert nature of the soil, there will be little or no side trade to support that part.of the transcontinental road. 1t will thus be seen that the only in+ ducements held out to the company or com» panies which chal] undetake the conetruction of the railroad from Nevada Territory to . Pike's Peak, are, the subsidies promised by the Government, which are not comparative ly as inviting as those tendered to other parts of the road, and through freight and travel. Persons and freight passing across the continent would cross the desert railroad, but the splendid local trade offered to other This, we say, the prospect of the Railroa being built between Nevada Territory and Pike’s Peak is not as brilliant as it-might be. It is not at all improbable that that part of the road may have to be constructed al« most entirely at Government expense. van _ Copper InpteaTION.—Our old friend, D 8. Tallman Esq. is ona short visit to his old home here. We learn from him that le contemplates removing to the copper region in this couuty with his family, for the purpose of attending to valuable interests he has in copper leads. Mr. Tallman has already found rock worth a Windred dollars a ton, and from his knowledge of copper ore feels satisfied that he has a good thing. We hope companies would be almost entirely wanting.Tue ALTERED GREENBACKS.—In the N. Y. World we find the following description of the United States bills altered from 2's to 50’s. .As some of them may very possibly find their way out here, it is important that . our people should be guarded against their reception. 2 vat The altered $50. treasury notes are well calculated to deceive those not well acquainted with the genuine bill. These notes are altered from two’s, United States treasury notes, in the following mannor: Over the figthe note the figures 50 are neatly pasted. The small figures appearing around the larger figures are blotted out. with a green ink resembling: the “patent green” tint. The word “two,” which appears eleven times in scroll-work lengthwise across the top of the bill is blotted Seiko prianink: The same is done ‘with the word “two,” appearing in the scroll work in the lower right land corner of the bill over the name “F-. W. Spinner Treasurer,” ete. The word “fifty” is neatly pasted over the word ‘‘twe,’ at the right of the vignette. The Roman II in the lower left hand corner of the bill is obliterated and completely hid.’ The reverse side of the bill is made entirely green, except in the central portion, where the words ‘‘This note is a leplaced upon every one of the almost innumerable 2’s on the back. Altogether the notes are well calculated to deceive. There are a large number of them out, has thus tar been made.

A Cutnest Custom.—I have frequently met sedan chairs carrying the bride home to her huaband, and hadauricular demonstration ot their curious rule, that she should weep and lament on the first half of her journey— that from her father’s house; and that she should laugh and rejoice on the half to her new home. Another custom is. that the marriage chair is locked by her father and mother, and the key is handed over to one of the bridesmen, who give it to the bridegroom on reaching the house. After the poor lady is brought into her husband's home she hag to undergo the. openly~expressed criticisms of his relations, an opportunity of which the female portion sometimes makes cruel use.— Blackwood's Magazine. _ ARMS For CALIrornia.—The Secretary of War has agreed, upon the representation of the California delegation, says the Union's Washington correspondence to send 10,000 stand of arms to this State, and to send some heavy erdnance as soon as the gunboats are furnished.
