This unfortunate civil war, which has been ushered upon the country by a set of reckless politicians, bas brought out one trait of American character which, for our, national fame, ought to have remaimed ui-auspected. As a general thing, the Ameri“Gans; North and South, are brave. Of. course, theré aré cowards among them—men who regard death as the greatest misfortune they can meet with—but, in most cases, their cowardice is hid under a pretty large superposition of pride, and this pride auswers all the purposes of genuine bravery. But, leaving the matter of American hervism to take care of itself, the war, thus far, has clearly shown that the talent for braggadocio ig not suffered to rest for lack of use, The northern and southern newspapers mutually threaten the oppesing section with unheard of calamitous retributions, for real or fancied villainies, and even dignified Generals of Division indulge in gasconades; that haye more of the ludicrous than the appalling in them. Before ‘the little scamper at Bull's Run, it was confidently asserted that Beauregard should be swept out of his earthworks and batteries at Manassas, a8 one would sweép _ overgorged flies from a platter; while Beauregard’s partisans as confidently asserted. that they would drive every d——d Yankee, who had dared to-desecrate the sacred soil of Virginia by bis unnallowed presence, into the Potomac! The official report of the Bull’s Run battle proves that neither of these doughty threats were successfully executed. The Yankees did not sweep Beauregard’s army out of existence, and Beauregard’s army did not drive the Yankees into the Potomac. The old saying, that ‘ Brag is a good dog, but Holdfast is a better,” had ite wisdom well established at Bull's Run. The facts of the case indicate that the Federal troops broke and ran when at the very top wave of success, and that the Beauregards had not the energy to follow them. Both parties manifested a wonderful deal of prudence, at moments when prudence seemed wonderfully out of place; but, to one familiar with thé history of the great Napoleon’s campaigns, the achievements of either of the Bull’s Run belligerents will not assume any very startling shapes or magnitudes. The fact is, both parties exhausted “their genius so much, in boasting of what -would be done, that neither had much left to beast of what had been done. At last dates, the South Carolina papers were talking of making an autumn morning’s “work of crushing Philadelphia, and the Pennsylvanian papers. were-reciprocating the complimeat by promising as much for Charleston. Néw Orleans ‘threatens to make the green grass grow in the-streets of New York, and New York threatens the deimolition of New Orleans. Thus they go! each section striving which can most successfully wome Captain Bobadil over the other. As, an American, with a pretty fair share of national pride coursing through our sanguineous system, we dislike to have our countrymen, whether of the North or. South, make themselves the buts of European jest and laughter. “Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it _ off,” was an exceedingly sensible response, on the part of an Israelitish King, to a somewhat insulting demand from -his enemy ty surrender unconditionally, coupled with extravagant threats of murder and rapine in ease of refusal. The remark is no less sensible, at thie day and in America, than it was when that rather disreputable. monarch, “ Ahab, made it. : » For the honor of California, we hope that the five thousand volunteers, about to be enrolled by Governor Downey—should so ~~many be forthcoming—will, when called in“to active service, mike it arule never to brag of their battles before fighting them, and to brag but sparingly of them after they of dah tpn ne Lenn, Chere. arms, with the yntold issues of the future hanging on the result-—~and he is also to fight an army of politicians, routinists, contractors, intermeddlers, advisers and flatterers.

The magic of his control has given us a fresh and vigorous army already, and has inspired every one with newer confidence and stronger hepes thanever.

It is especially noteworthy. that under the many regiments arrive every day, are not ostentaitiously paraded through the city, but are immediately marched to their pre-appointed camps, so aney that onenot on the lookout for them would never dream. that the Capital is strengthend every day by thousands of well-drilled, well-appointed and determined men. . The men who have served under him so faithfully, assert that a prominent characteristic of Gen. McClellan’s movements is their unexpectedness. He keeps his own counsel to the last, the: very last moment, and the plan is only fully comprehended when the blow is struck. Gen. McClellan is one of the least pretentions of men—he generally wears the simple blouse of tne riflemen, with not even the starred shoulders-straps tu denote his rank—a man who never wastes time—who is indefatigable in his pursuit and attack of the enemy, and equally untiring in his efforts to secure the utmost comfort of his men, compatible with the circumstances of a soldier’s life. among the men, witha kind and cheering look for every company; a pleasant look, or kind salute, or hearty grasp of the hand for every officer or private with whom he is brought on speaking terms by buisness; and in a fight he is always at the front of the column, in the thickest of the danger, encourageing his soldiers by cheering word and fearless deed, He takes soldier’s fare with the rest, asking no better food, and no more luxurious bed, than ‘the newest recruited private under his command. Ifhe sees a man without proper shoes or clothing, he has quarters, where the man is served with the garment he needs, and the captain receives a reprimand that leads him to. look more closely after the comfort of his men in future. : . That such a man should be the idol of his soidlers is not surprising. The measure of their adoration for_him words fail to express, though the following slightly profane, but uncommonly emphatic statment of one of his men. will perhaps approximate it: ‘We would, every one of us, fight for old Mac till hell froze over, and then die on the ice!” which frigid sentiment was cordially endorsed by all who heard it.

According to the telegram which Mr. Barstow, Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee sent us, and which we published yesterday,. the Times hejd the price of its party allegiance at five thousand dollars’; failing to obtain which, it kicked-its allegiance to. the. winds. Its proprietors said to the commitdollars -we shall remain true to the Stanford ticket until the day of election. If you don’t, we shall go fer Conness and blow you pungle, and the Times, to carry out its threat, made a bigger jackass of itself than ever hefore; a featof no ordmary magnitude. IMMIGRATION.—A correspondent of the Sacramento Union, who—writes from some place in Nevada Territory, called Santa Clathorougbfares to California, says that the overland emigrants are passing there ftom 60 to 75 wagons per day, and they report. thousands behind. The majority appear to be from Missouri; many are from Kentucky. A. great many of these immigrants find their way into California over the Henness Pass Road,-which, we aré asstred, is filled by their teams, although there still remains some three weeks work to be done on it to render it freely passable. Next year the Henness Pass Road will be the grand inlet to the immigration. The fact, as stated by the Union's correspondent, that the majority this year’s immi grants are from Kentucky and Misseuri, excites our curiosity as to Whether they are Unionists, flying from Secessionists, or Secessionists, flying from Unionists. Our in” defatigable politicians have a deep interest in the solution of this-problem. SAN“FRANUISCO PATBIOTISM,—The Bay people open their purses as well as their hearts to the destitute volunteers. We learn from the Evening Journal that as soon as the fact of destitution among the volunteers became known to the San.Franciscans, a most liberal subscription was made up for their relief, and a large number of blankets and other needed articles were sent in, the ladies. as usual taking the lead in this as well asin all other good works. _ te John Adams wrote in his Diary the following hard hit at men of wealth: ‘‘ The rich are seldom remarkable for modesty, ingenuity or humanity. Their wealth has rather a tendency to make them penurious and selfish.” A hard rap says Quilp; but it don’t hurt my fee’lings at present; and when I get to bea millionaire; 1 presume I shall be able to stand it. te Ww. Buckley, who in San Francisco a few nigltits since shot at Col. Dennison, has been held to bail in $4,000 and in default of which he goes to prison to await his trial. WasHincton ITrems. — Every day ie marked by an improvement over its predecessor, in the face of things in this city. There was probably never a period of greater security, peace and order in Washington than at the present tite, owing to the vigorous mensures which have been adopted by General McClellan. i The activity among the government teamsters is as greatas it was at any time previous to the late battle. Provisions and other supplies in immense quantities are hauled to the various camps, beth in and out of the city. In this connection it may be stated that much more regard than heretofore is paid to the comfort and subsistence of the soldiers, and, as a tonsequence, but. little if any complaint now exists among the troops. A strong desire is expressed among prominent men in different sections of the country for an exchange of prisoners with tae rebels. Several parties are now here to confer with the administration upon this subject. ‘The friends of the prisoners are very anxious that something should be done It is hardly probable that any arrangement will be made for somne time. ‘Ex-Minister Faulkner was arrested on the 12th of-Aug., and conveyed to jail by order of the War Department. He is not permitted to hold. conversation or correspendence with his friends. A formal examination of his case willesoon take place. Col. Baker, Senator from Oregon, declines a Brigadier Generalship, preferring to retain the Senatorship; but will act-as Colonel of a volunteer regiment during the war. ANTEDILUVIAL.—An ancient skillet; made of lava, hard as iron, circular, with a spout and three legs, was washed out of a clam at Forest Hill, a few Gaye since.

According to the telegram which Mr. Barstow, Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee sent us, and which we published yesterday,. the Times hejd the price of its party allegiance at five thousand dollars’; failing to obtain which, it kicked-its allegiance to. the. winds. Its proprietors said to the commitdollars -we shall remain true to the Stanford ticket until the day of election. If you don’t, we shall go fer Conness and blow you pungle, and the Times, to carry out its threat, made a bigger jackass of itself than ever hefore; a featof no ordmary magnitude. IMMIGRATION.—A correspondent of the Sacramento Union, who—writes from some place in Nevada Territory, called Santa Clathorougbfares to California, says that the overland emigrants are passing there ftom 60 to 75 wagons per day, and they report. thousands behind. The majority appear to be from Missouri; many are from Kentucky. A. great many of these immigrants find their way into California over the Henness Pass Road,-which, we aré asstred, is filled by their teams, although there still remains some three weeks work to be done on it to render it freely passable. Next year the Henness Pass Road will be the grand inlet to the immigration. The fact, as stated by the Union's correspondent, that the majority this year’s immi grants are from Kentucky and Misseuri, excites our curiosity as to Whether they are Unionists, flying from Secessionists, or Secessionists, flying from Unionists. Our in” defatigable politicians have a deep interest in the solution of this-problem. SAN“FRANUISCO PATBIOTISM,—The Bay people open their purses as well as their hearts to the destitute volunteers. We learn from the Evening Journal that as soon as the fact of destitution among the volunteers became known to the San.Franciscans, a most liberal subscription was made up for their relief, and a large number of blankets and other needed articles were sent in, the ladies. as usual taking the lead in this as well asin all other good works. _ te John Adams wrote in his Diary the following hard hit at men of wealth: ‘‘ The rich are seldom remarkable for modesty, ingenuity or humanity. Their wealth has rather a tendency to make them penurious and selfish.” A hard rap says Quilp; but it don’t hurt my fee’lings at present; and when I get to bea millionaire; 1 presume I shall be able to stand it. te Ww. Buckley, who in San Francisco a few nigltits since shot at Col. Dennison, has been held to bail in $4,000 and in default of which he goes to prison to await his trial. WasHincton ITrems. — Every day ie marked by an improvement over its predecessor, in the face of things in this city. There was probably never a period of greater security, peace and order in Washington than at the present tite, owing to the vigorous mensures which have been adopted by General McClellan. i The activity among the government teamsters is as greatas it was at any time previous to the late battle. Provisions and other supplies in immense quantities are hauled to the various camps, beth in and out of the city. In this connection it may be stated that much more regard than heretofore is paid to the comfort and subsistence of the soldiers, and, as a tonsequence, but. little if any complaint now exists among the troops. A strong desire is expressed among prominent men in different sections of the country for an exchange of prisoners with tae rebels. Several parties are now here to confer with the administration upon this subject. ‘The friends of the prisoners are very anxious that something should be done It is hardly probable that any arrangement will be made for somne time. ‘Ex-Minister Faulkner was arrested on the 12th of-Aug., and conveyed to jail by order of the War Department. He is not permitted to hold. conversation or correspendence with his friends. A formal examination of his case willesoon take place. Col. Baker, Senator from Oregon, declines a Brigadier Generalship, preferring to retain the Senatorship; but will act-as Colonel of a volunteer regiment during the war. ANTEDILUVIAL.—An ancient skillet; made of lava, hard as iron, circular, with a spout and three legs, was washed out of a clam at Forest Hill, a few Gaye since.
