ed sitcoms tm a Gtr of the Republic have terminated, and no doubt exista that Gen. Peyet, the GovernOffice, No. 26 Commibseial street. BF inent candidate, has triumphed over Gen. Lanella, of the opposition. The City of Lima — % WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 28th. — TOPICS OF THE DAY. What between the politicians and the -budgets of the Pony we are kept in a constant pother of doubt and disbelief. If the politicians are entitled to credence, three Governors of California will be elected next ; 2 Wednesday, a something that seems exceed‘ingly unreasonable. Nevertheless, we have been solemnly assured by gentlemen of distinguished\position, that McConnell, Conness, and. Stanford will, each, sweep the State like a whirlwind. Every politician who accords us the honor of letting us into the secrets .of the futute, confidently pre dicts the success of his espevial ticket, and as confidentiy predicts the defeat vf both its antagonists. Our self-imposed neutrality forbids our venturing any predictions of our own, as to the result of next week’s election, . further than that the party which polls the most votes will, in all human probability, be the triumphant one. There will, however, ‘be a good deal of ticket-scratching and helter-skelter voting, so that it is rather presumptuous to say that any of the parties will be completely triumphant. We think, though, that but one Governor will be elected. In the meantime, let the politicians go ahead. Weshall be content to vote for the men that suit us best, without regard to the party tickets in which their names are emblazoned. The Pony we once thought a great and glorious institution ; but, of late, it so prevaricates in its statements and jumbles up its views in such perplexing confusion, that we have nearly lost all confidence in anything it telle us. Whenever we havé ventured to build a theory upon the subject matter of any one of its budgets, we have always found our theory upset and demolished by the next arrival of the tormenting little creature. It has given us so many contradictory yarns about the affair of Bull’s Run, that we are in some doubt whether a battle ever was really fought on the margin of that classic stream. There is much probabjlity that it intends serving us with the same sauce in regard to the alleged battle near Springfield, Missouri, on the 10th of this month. It first told us that General Siegel had lost but one field-piece, and next it. tells us that he lost five. It first killed Generals McCulloch and Price of the Secession army, and the next thing it has them alive and busy at work as ever. How many other corrections and emendations it may yet make to its first bulletin of that battle, it is impossible to conjecture ; but it is a fruitful theme, and, no doubt, it will make the ‘ most of it. “Hereafter we shall undertake no gloss or commentary on the Pony news, but let our readers devour and digest it as Heaven may give them appetite. © The war for the re-construction of the Union, it seems, is to go forward, and it also seems that California is to have a pretty big finger in it; the Governor having, in response to the requisition of the Federa) authorities, issued his authorization for the en‘Vistment of four regiments of infantry and one of cavalry. The cavalry regiment, we ' presume, will soon’ be raised, but the four of infantry will occasion rather more tedious work. The Union sentiment of the State has been tortured into such a mere shuttlecock, to be knocked about. between the battle dores'of the Republicans and Union Demoérats, that it has very much lost the vitalfty it had six months ago. Something more direct and palpable than patriotic editorials, _ speeches, and songs will be needed to put five thousind California soldiers in the field. _ Nevertheless, for the honor of the State, we wish the experiment success. The pobticians of California are of exceeding honesty—ae Othello says of Iayo—yet they sometimes do little things that have a-savor of meanness in them. Yesterday, a San Francisco telegram to this City brought " the news that: the Times, the organ and exponent. of the Republicans, had hauled Aown the Stanford flag and hoisted that of Connese, thereby leaving the inference:to be 4 He says: nue oS hiss ke Bs the hocus. a was very much disturbed duritig the election, negroes parading the streets with pistols and clubs, and assaulting voters and other peacable citizens. Thrée persona were killed and several badly wounded, when the rioters were suppressed by the military. «COMMANDER OF THE OVERLAND CAVALRY.—The Los Angelos Ster says that Lieut. B. F.Davis of the Frst Dragoons, late in command at Camp Fitzgerald, has been ordered by Gen. Sumner to San Francisco, to take command of the cavalry now organizing fer the protection of the Overland Mail service. EMIGRANTS FROM TEXAS.—Seven hundred wagons are reported to be on the way between San Bernardino and Los Angeles. They represent that the condition of Texas, since her secession from the Union, is of a very deplorable character. "Garibaldi has issued & proclamation to the women of Italy, calling upon them to aid in the moral improvement of the country. ‘I have such deep faith in the generous hearts of our Italian ladies, without distinetion ofelass, that I venture to address them and to invite them to carry out this noble object. In the 100 cites oF formed committees of ladies for the purpose of collecting means ef every kind in Italy, and other parts of the world, to assist the needy and fo establish schools for their education. Steg We cannot attain perfection, which is impossible here bellow ; but by improving the condition of the poor, and raising t in their own estimation, we may show that the title assumed by us, of a free and civilized people is not unrightfully assumed,; and that mankind, according to the law of Christ, cts no other members: than brothers. and sisters. JUSTICE IN HOLLAND.—When two persons are about to enter alaw suit, they are first obliged to go before a tribunal of reconciling judges, called the peace, makers. If the parties happen to bring with them alawyer, the first thing done is to send him about his business—on the same principle that we take off wood from a fire we want to extinguish! The peace maker then tells the parties, “‘ youare certainly greats fools to spend your money, for the procuration of your own ruin; we will bring you to an accommodation without costing you ene farthing.” If, after this, the rage of litigation happens to be too violent in the parties, they put them off to another day, in order to mitigate the symptoms of the disorder; after which, they summon them a second and a third time. If their folly is then incurable, the page makers consent that the parties shall go into_a court of justice, in the same manner that we abandon an incurable member to the lunacy doctors. The law then takes its course. No man’s will and testament is valid in Holland, without a copy of it being ey ag deposited in the Register’s office kept for that yutpote, Thus preventing the various frauds of altering. underlining, ante-dating and destroying, so common in other countries, : Ee The Siamese ambagsadors to the Emperor Napoleon brought from the first king a letter written’ on a sheet-of gold, and presents of great value; among them a royal crown set with precious stones, a collar in rubies, and a royal girdle made of gold set with diamonds. oe ANOTHER MAMMOTH GROvVE.—Another mammoth grove has been discovered in Calaveras county. The trees, it is said, are larger than those of the grove near Murphy's. STEAMBOAT ExPLosion.—The boilers of the steamboat McClelland, exploded at Red Bluff, on Sunday evening, with most disastrous consequenees. Fifteen persons,’ inwere killed and eleven seriously injured. As the Clerk was killed and the passenger list been ascertained. CoTTON.—At the late annual meeting of the Cotton Supply Associating held af Man-. chester., England, the report of the Committee as to the result of operations was discouraging; but further effurte in India and Western Africa were recommended, in view of American troubles.

The Republican State Central Committce have issued the following circular, viz : . ness, for Governor, instead of Leland Stanford, by the Daily Times, was the result of a failure of the printers owning that sheet to levy five thousand dollars black mail of the Republican State Central Committee.” By order © ALFFED BaRsTow, Sec'y R. 8. C. Committee. — Wanted To Kit a Kinc.—On July: in the morniog, when the King of Prussia, after his customary walk.in the Lichtenthal Avenue, was seated near the stone fountain, a student of Leipsic approached him, and léveling -a pistol at his bieast, pulled~ the trigger. The force of the charge happily . caused the bullet. to rise, and the ball only shoulder. Arrested on the spot by the promenaders who heard -the report, the assassin was taken before the chief magistrate of the.city, and was examined in the pre‘sence of His August Highness, the Grand Duke of Baden. It is stated that the student confined himself to the reply, while avowing his crime, that his only object was to free Germany from a prince who was not hi aa active in the cause of German unity. Ee The N. Y. Tribune, speaking of. our army, says: We must state one fact, at wheatever cost. The Union army,which was launched against the Bull Run labyrinth of masked batteries last Sunday, had never-even once been exercised in movements by division, during the. two or three months it nad been lingering about Washington, and net a hundred men in a briGade knew their Brigadier by sight.— Most of the regiments were in farless_ effective condition than when they reached Washbry So It is thought that things will be different under Gen. McClellan. GARIBALDI.—Several weeks ago one of our Consuls ‘abroad expressed the opinion that Garabaldi would visit this country and command a colnmn_of Unien forces; if the President of this Government would indicate that his services were needed. ‘There has been no official action, but it is understood he has taken measures to-ascertain if Garibaldi would accept a command f offered, and has authorized.parties to express to him the gratification it would afford the President to witness his return to the United Statee> and see him at.the head of a column of our troops. : A letter from Minister Fogg says Garibaldi said: “If the. United States war for freedom, I am with you, with twenty thousand men. A PELL-MELL FigutT.—Wilkes in his description of the Manassas fight says : Never‘was there a great battle fuught more pell-mell sinee war-began: never was valor so completely thrown away. In fact, instead of being conducted upon its plan, or upon any plan whatever,it be came, through the incompetency of its chiefs (perhaps caused by their despair,) a mere succession of desultoty fights, in which small brigades, isolated from all general command, were trying the hardness of their heads against the toughness of iron and deeply matted walle.
