TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20th. = THE CAMPAIGN, ‘There *are just two weeks to intervene Ari this day and the election; and, for our part, we wish them well-over. -What -with the thunder of the stump orators, who, With throats of brass arid adamantine lungs,” make each particular night hideous, aud the btisy button-holing of the candidates, who, like unlaid ghosts, are flitting and gibbering everywhere, and at all seasons, we have an awful fortnight before us. There‘is one consolation for us, here in California, that the electioneering war in which our politiciatis are so busily engaged, unlike the sure-enough war on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, makes no widows and orphans. Our political heroes, instead of pouring out their blood like water, as is metaphorically said of the gunpowder heroes at the East, are-content to.pour out their brandy, with or -without water, as taste and circumstance may: warrant. Claret flows, but itis the legitimate claret of Bourdeaux, and not the figurative article of the prize-ring, extracted from the “noses of doughty champions. There is abundance of noise, as his infernal majesty remarked when he sheared the hog, but not wuch wool. There are three tickets in the field, and the fight over these three tickets is, of course, a triangular fight, though a-bloodless one. As we are notin it, and intend keep‘ing aloof from all the belligerents, we can only, pray that Heaven will. se order the struggle, that the party that wins may become a blessing to the State. As Califurnia has no especial motive for seceding from the Union, it is not very likely that her people, whatever: party may triumph in the coming electiou, will permit any attempt at .Secession on the part of their political leaders. The State will be safe enough, let who will be elected, for the Californians are not fooly, though they do let the politicians occasionally ride them pretty freely. Therefore, as far as the loyalty of California to the Union is eoncerned, no apprebensions need be entertained of any terrible catastrophe resulting from the next election. The three parties have managed to put some good men on each of their tickets, an excellent plan, and one that promises well for the State. For our part, not being a partisan, we intend to vote for good men, wherever We ean find them, without. regard to the flags under which they muster. If we vote for any bad ones, we shall do so through mistake and not with sinister purpose. Our opinion is, that, notwithstanding the clamors of the party leadérs of the State, there will be more ad libitum voting this year, than ever before, in California. There will be a good deal of what is called “ seratching ” done, and the -result will be much to the public benefit.

A New River Founp.—The Sacramento Bee states that a swamp surveyor has discovered a new river, of whose extent and course the oldest resident in the vicinity was ignorant. It rises near the head of the ” Georgian Slough, is 30 feet decp, 208 broad, and afters course of seven or eight miles, empties into the Mokelumne, about three miles weat of Georgian Slough.

Happily, there is a Republican journal in the State which rejoices in an editor who is, at once, a patriot, a gentleman, and a man of sense. We mean the Marysville Appeal, edited by B. P. Avery.

If we were a Republican and obliged to recognize the Times as our political mentor, we should exclaim with Avefy—‘ Save us from our. friends!” But the Times, not satisfied with thrusting its spoon into General Scott’s dish, must needs*get up a civil “war in California, and run all the ‘“Seceshers” out of the State at the point of the bayonet. Thus the bloodthirsty thing talks : As Republicans we have nothing to do with such characters. We well know that if their confederates in the East be not utterly ground to powder, we intend te raise here the standard of civil war. As loyal citizens we expect to meet them hereafter in the field, and to aid in expelling them from the country. We do not regard them as political opponents, but as public enemies, leagned with traitors in arms, preparing to raise the black banner of rebellion, * * * Though there is no rational hope that the hostility of the servile Confederates in this State will be kept within bounds except by a conflict of arms, yet the best mode of averting the conflict is to refuse them any sort of political fellowship. The Republicans are a big political party, and, perhaps, feel strong enough to carry their San Francisco organ, with all its crazy heresies, on their shoulders, and it is neither our province nor our wish to criticize them; but, if proselyting is their object, they must either get a new organ or put new pipes and keyes in the old one. THE ENEMY COMPLIMENTS: GEN. McCLELLAN.—The New Orleans True Delta has an article boasting of the superior generalship shown thus far in the war by the Southern officers. It concludes with the following compliment to Gen: McClellan : ““ We hear thatMcClellan, an officer of unquestionable capacity, an accomplished, enterprising and successful soldier, is to’ be put at the head of their invading armies, subordinate only to Lieutenant Gen. Scott. We do not regret this change so far as the fame of Beauregard is concerned ; on the contrary, we rejoice that it has been made, because we know there,could be little credit in scatteringsuch troops as have heretofore encountered our heroic men in battle, led on by-the Pattersons, Butlers, and such like litical trash. McClellan is worthy of auregard’s attention, and while we have not for a moment .a doubt of the result of their first measurement of arms in the field, nor of any later conflict, so far as the honor of Louisiana’s great soldier is involved, we hope when they are face.to face arrayed against each other, no great disparity of force, nor deficiency of material will be allowed to cripple our side on that eventful occasion. resence of an officer so thoroughly a soldier as McClellan, it will not do for our gallant boys to sleep or be negligent on outpost duty in contempt of their foe ; he will if any one can, make someteing of the sone of the Pilgrims, the descendants of the Mayflower’s passengers, and therefore our comlete satisfaction that one whom it will realy be a great honor to defeat, is now to be ut at the head of the Lincoln army of subCoetien.” Honor To Wom tT 1s Due.—The real inventor of the now world-famous Colt pistol, is Otis W. Whittier, a New England mechanic, now working by the day in the railroad machine shop of Harrisburg, Pa. It was in 1837, while living in Endfield, N. H., that he made the original invention and got his patent. He immediately commenced the manufacture of the arm, but at the end of two years was prostrated by fire, which destroyed all his stock and machinery, and left him poor, and unable to start afresh. In and in the same year sold it for $2,000 to Henry R. Beach and Samuel Woodruff, of Hartford, whe in turn sold it to Samuel Colt, by whore it has been worked up to its present renown, and to whom it has returned an immense fortune. a Se THE Opp FELLOWS.—Various lodges of Odd Fellows at the east have resolved to previle for ‘the families of such. of. their rothers as have enrolled themselves in the ‘military service of the country.

The Union Democratic State Central Committee, acting under this supposition, have actually nominated J. B. Gitchell,-of [Los Angeles, as the third Congressional candidate of that party. It seems, however, according to the Sacramento Union, that-the right to three Congressmen will not accrue to California in the 37th Congress, which meets:in December next, but in the 38th, which is to meet in December, 1863. Governor Downey; the Union intourms us, of three Congressinen, and will not give his certificate to more than two, should a third . one be voted for and elected. Under these circumstances, it is probable, the nomination of Mr. Gitchell willbe rescinded, and the three pelitical parties of the state will be content to vote for but two candidates for Cougress.A PRAYERFUL SUBJECT.—Mr. Wecks, the Republiean orator, in his Nevada speech, on Saturday night, said that he voted for James Buchanan in 1856, and in doing so, perpetrated the grand damning sin of his life. For this one terrific sin, he said, he had implored forgiveness of God, every night, for years, but was afraid that God had not forgiven bim, and never would. This is, certainly, an exceedingly unpleasant predicament for any man, and especially so to one of such jolly dimensions as Mr. Weeks. As his own prayérs seem to be inefficacious, and as it is eujoined upon all true believers to pray for their enemies, we would respectfully commend the deplorable case of Mr.,Weeks to the devout consideration of the Rev. D. O. Shattuck, who, if he choose to embrace it, has now the sublime opportunity of praying for a very big enemy. a ARRIVAL.OF TeExaNs.—On Wednesday last, says the Los Angeles News, a party. of emigrants from Texas passed through that place, on their way to the upper country.— They reported that the people of ‘Texas had been seized with a high stave:ot excitement, and that distress had already commenced its ravages. A large emigration, destined to California, is teported by them to be on the way, and that large numbers were still preparing to leave during the present season, in consequence of the bad state ofaffairs which existed in that State; chargeable to the work of treason and the outbreak of rebellion against the Government. They met an armed body of men, from California, on the Gila river, who informed them they were gomg to Texas. Anotbertrain of emigrants passed through tewn on Thursday, and still another train, numbering about forty wagons, encamped neartown Friday night, A large number are reported to be on the road between Los Angeles and Fort Yuma. A Wire. or Two.—The late Sultan of Turkey was a hard boy, according to general report, and over.fond of the ladiea. They led him such a life of expense and suspense, that he had to drink to drown his care. So “women and wine—the toast is divine,” finally brought him down, shattered. his nerves, and at last tarned his toes gracefully up for all time. How He was Dressep.—Mr. Adams, our new Minister to England, is sad to have gone to Court in a dark blue coat, the collar, cuffs and flaps embroidered with gold, white small clothes, white silk stockings, low shoes, and to have carried a sword. A Younc Hesnan.—lIn order to amuse the children, on the Sabbath, a lady was engaged, recently, in reading to them in the Bible, the story-of David and Goliah, , and coming to the passage in which Goliah so boastingly defiantly dared the strippling; a little chap,jalmost in his trowsers, said : “Skip that—jskip that—he’s only blowin’; I want to knpw who licked.” Bear SLAYERS.—Capt. McCrea, formerly of South Carohiga, is now raising a force of 200 men, in the Wilds of Arkaneas, for the purpose of joining McCulloch's Rangers. One of the conditio their enlistment 18, that each recruit shal admitted mto the company who can prova by distinguished witnesses, that he has his bear with his knife. : ‘ A youug lady, fond of the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, had a beautiful set of jewelry.

The Union Democratic State Central Committee, acting under this supposition, have actually nominated J. B. Gitchell,-of [Los Angeles, as the third Congressional candidate of that party.. It seems, however, according to the Sacramento Union, that-the right to three Congressmen will not accrue to California in the 37th Congress, which meets:in December next, but in the 38th, which is to meet in December, 1863. Governor Downey; the Union intourms us, of three Congressinen, and will not give his certificate to more than two, should a third . one be voted for and elected. Under these circumstances, it is probable, the nomination of Mr. Gitchell willbe rescinded, and the three pelitical parties of the state will be content to vote for but two candidates for Cougress.A PRAYERFUL SUBJECT.—Mr. Wecks, the Republiean orator, in his Nevada speech, on Saturday night, said that he voted for James Buchanan in 1856, and in doing so, perpetrated the grand damning sin of his life. For this one terrific sin, he said, he had implored forgiveness of God, every night, for years, but was afraid that God had not forgiven bim, and never would. This is, certainly, an exceedingly unpleasant predicament for any man, and especially so to one of such jolly dimensions as Mr. Weeks. As his own prayérs seem to be inefficacious, and as it is eujoined upon all true believers to pray for their enemies, we would respectfully commend the deplorable case of Mr.,Weeks to the devout consideration of the Rev. D. O. Shattuck, who, if he choose to embrace it, has now the sublime opportunity of praying for a very big enemy. a ARRIVAL.OF TeExaNs.—On Wednesday last, says the Los Angeles News, a party. of emigrants from Texas passed through that place, on their way to the upper country.— They reported that the people of ‘Texas had been seized with a high stave:ot excitement, and that distress had already commenced its ravages. A large emigration, destined to California, is teported by them to be on the way, and that large numbers were still preparing to leave during the present season, in consequence of the bad state ofaffairs which existed in that State; chargeable to the work of treason and the outbreak of rebellion against the Government. They met an armed body of men, from California, on the Gila river, who informed them they were gomg to Texas. Anotbertrain of emigrants passed through tewn on Thursday, and still another train, numbering about forty wagons, encamped neartown Friday night, A large number are reported to be on the road between Los Angeles and Fort Yuma. A Wire. or Two.—The late Sultan of Turkey was a hard boy, according to general report, and over.fond of the ladiea. They led him such a life of expense and suspense, that he had to drink to drown his care. So “women and wine—the toast is divine,” finally brought him down, shattered. his nerves, and at last tarned his toes gracefully up for all time. How He was Dressep.—Mr. Adams, our new Minister to England, is sad to have gone to Court in a dark blue coat, the collar, cuffs and flaps embroidered with gold, white small clothes, white silk stockings, low shoes, and to have carried a sword. A Younc Hesnan.—lIn order to amuse the children, on the Sabbath, a lady was engaged, recently, in reading to them in the Bible, the story-of David and Goliah, , and coming to the passage in which Goliah so boastingly defiantly dared the strippling; a little chap,jalmost in his trowsers, said : “Skip that—jskip that—he’s only blowin’; I want to knpw who licked.” Bear SLAYERS.—Capt.
