The time between this day and the elec. tion is becoming ‘small by degrees and beautifully less,” and we are glad it isso. The bedy politic. is in a state of feverishness, be coming hotter. and hotter, each day, “the closer the approach of the tremendous Fourth of September. After that wondrous -day, which, according to the politicians, will either put California onthe very highest shelf in the Universe, or put her so lowg down in the civil scale, that she will never be heard of again, we people, who love ease-and quiet; will have a breathing spell, which now we can not “have. ‘The newspapers: that reach our editorial table are brimful and running over with all sorts of patriotism. All our brother editors are trembling. for the fate of their beloved California, and all of: them are busily tendering their advice to the dear people, whereby ker salvation from impending ruin may be achieved. tells us, if we wish to escape the wrath of John R. McConnell and his ‘‘Raw Head and Bloody Bones” Secessionists, to vote the Leland Stanford ticket. Another warns us-that our only safety lies im swearing al, legiince to’ John Conness. Another insists that, mauyer the wicked calumnies of his political enemies, Jolm R. McConnell is the only man to whom the State can now look, with hope and confidence,.in this her hour of extreme peril, and that we ought to honor him ag a sort of Heaven-eppointed Messiah. Now. the fact is, that three-fourths of all that these political editors are constantly boring their patient readers with is sheer clap-trap, and all their lugubrious mouthings about their dear country and the dangers that threaten it, are merely “ spripges to catch wood-cock.” The State is threatened *with no danger from which it cannot be saved, at a week’s notice, by the intelligence und practical sense of the people. As good and as great men,as Leland Stanford or John: Conness or John R. McConnell, have lived and died, and worms have eaten them, and‘ nobody dreamed of making . Governors of them. Our partisan. papers have a special knack, immediately hefore ‘an election, of investing certain frail specimens of humanity «with extraordinary attributes, and predicting stupendous consequences from exceedingly frival circumstances. ; Our humble opiaivn is that the welfare of . California will net be materially affected by the result of next Wednesday’s election, let it go as it may. «Neither Governors nor Legislatures, nor beth combined, can force the majority of our people to take any steps abhorrent to their feelmgs, Tnat surt of game has been tried in Kentucky, and found to be « losing one. California is as good as Keutucky, any day of the week: There are three distinct State tickets in the field, on each. of which, we fervently hope, may be found some names of good and capable men. Despite the eloquent warnings and expostulations of the political pa-: pers, we mean to give our ballét for these good and capable men, let us find them on whatever ticket we may. ‘‘ Ne pucro gladium,” saith the Latin proverb—put not a eword in a bay’s fingers—is goud, and means that great public trusts should nvt be confided to incompetent hands.

PORTLAND, Aug. 24.—The steamer Sierra Nevada arrived from San Francisco, at this port yésterday morning at 5 o'clock. She sails to-day for Victoria.

The Herald, thinks there is no other way to thwart them but to elect Conness ; the Bulletin and Alta think that they can only be foiled by the election of Stanford. The Times, that lately thought Stanford the man to save the. state, having had its eyes opened to its error by the application of seventy-five double eagles to its optic reverie, now agrees with the Herald that Conness is the bay for the Seseshers.

It cannot. be charged that Kentucky was dragooned into her present position by federal soldiers, as none have been permitted to enter the State. The great majority of Kentuckians are too sensible and too well assured of what is to their real interest, to throw away @ Union subétantiality to snatch at a Secession shadow. A. A.

There is no resisting—no appeal. The unfortunate woman is thus publicly scourgéed, admidst the derisive laughter of the whole population ; and none mock her more than her own sex, when their own fears have been dissipated about themselves, What has the woman doné, and who is Mumbo Jumbo? He is either er husband or some friend to whom ‘has been committed-the charge of this business; but the "mask prevents “his being known. And the wife’s fault, for which she is thus indecently chastised, is, thatshe has been ® quarrelsome termagantin the house.’ For as the Pagan Negroes are not limited _to the number of their wives, and some of them have a great many family broils often arise, as might be expected. Sometimes the women quarrel so violently, that gy 8 refuse to submit even to their husband’s decisions.— When he finds that bis authority is despised, and that be can no longer rnle his own household, he appeals to the town councillors, who have recourse to Mumbo Jumbo. It therefore, a device of the men reserved for Gases of emergency to uphold their own dignity, and ‘‘ tame the shrew ” for their large family.

R. M. Macbrain. Mrs. PARTINGTON ON Wibows.—“ Oh What trials a poor widow has to go through!” sighed Mrs. Partington, rocking herself in a melancholly way, and helding untasted the morsel of maccabby between her thumb and finger; ‘ terrible trials! and oh, what a hardship to be an executioner to an intestine estate, where enviablepeople are trying every way to overcome the widow’s might ; where it’s probe, it, probgs it, probe it all the time, and the more you probe it the worse it seets. The poor widow never gets justic,e for if she gets all she don’t get half enough. I have had one trial of it, and if éver I marry again I'll make my pretended husband fabricate our will-before he buys the wedding-ring— Pll take time by the forepot, as the sage says.” ries FIvE FIGHTING MEN oF Gop.—-The New York Observer says that a Louisiana Clergyman, writing to them over his own name, remarks: I am one of five ministers, of three different denominations, in a sitigle company, armed for the defense of our rights ana. liberties, three of whom are between fifty and sixty years old. And I tell you in candor, and in the fewr of God, that if you or any of the brethren who bhve urged on this diabolicul war come on’ With the invading army, I would slay you withas herty a good will, and with as clear a conscience, as I would the midnight assassin. In the name of God, I cenjure you, let us alone. I speak the spontaneous sentiment of every Southern heart— man, Woman and child. We wil! never submit. We will shed the last drop of blodd in défense of our rights. You are my enemy and Tam yours, J.F. F. The editors remark that they withhold the name of the belligerent subscriber who thus expresses his thirst for their blood, and after stating that he owes them $25, indulge in the hope that before he “ slays” them he will clear his conscience by paying that little bill. Tue SouTHeRn Mines.—The S. F. Journal stutes that Dr. N. I. Underwood, the well known geoligost, has just returned from the southern purt of this state. He proiniser to make a full report of the regions visted, in a few days. In his letter to the News, he says: ‘The. great mineral resources of Culifornia, have hitherto been thought to exist in the North, while the barren ranges of the South, and the Southern interion have beeu #!most entirely negiected.— Having just returned from those regiors, I candidly assert, thatin their minera! reseources they are not inferior to Mexigo, or Washoe, while the climate is much superior ~ ver if the litter places.
