* i 4 * i t fen Ri ee Yau, x on _ WEENESDAY MORNING, DEC. * ‘WHATS UP} : ‘The military, appointments made by Gov. Downey. on the eve of going out of office are xciting many remarks among Union men of all classes and past parties. We must con‘fees the conduct of the Governor induces suspicion that: all is not right, and im these wemy come upon us unawares. The ap‘pointments of the-Governor are of the most "questionable character, taken as a whole. — Col. Bowie is counted by all safe and-reliable. . ‘There may be others of his military men who But ass general rule, the mén He has raised to military rank give cause for alarm. The fast Appointinent is J, L. English, of Sacramento, a good eitizen and man, but a downright secessionist, without disavowing it.— . . What can the Governor of a loyal State be _ about in making such an appointment? Col. _ Forman is another of the.same stripe, who, in all probability, has not drawn a loyal breath since the attack on Fort Sumter. We have been repeatedly told that A. B. Dibble, another appointee of the Governor to military -command, has, time and again, expressed himself in favor of a Pacific Republic, which is the same thing aa secession. We may be doing Mr. Dibble injustice, but our authority -is of the character we deem reliable. Then look at the appointments of séme of . these suddenly elevated military command. ors! On the Staff of N. Greene Curtis is seen N. C. Miller, as Ordinance officer, with the rank of Lieut. Colonel, as unreasonable a secessionist aa is permitted to live this side of the brimstone regions. Dan. Gelwicks, another of thé rattlesnake stripe, and the most bifter and insulting of all the enemies of the Government, since Austin E. Smith left the State, is on the staff as Quartermaster. ‘We, with dozens of others in this commu‘nity, want to know what all this means. It evidently has an object. Gov. Downey is not a fool;,we wish, after seeing his appointments, we could be equally certain he is not arogue. What means this selection of ge) ceasionists,or semi-seegssionists to fill military and other offices? In case of an insurrection _ by the Jeff. Davisites, does the Governor intend to put the militia of the State in a posture to assist the rebels 7 We want to know —the people want to know. We already know that many of the men in command: would sympathize with an insurrection. — ‘Their language and conduct have shown it. . . We already know that scores of the small "civil offices of the State have been bestowed on secession sympathizers.. Qur own county, to some extent,exhibits the fact, which seems to indicate a desire on the part of the Govefnér, a preconceived plan, if you please, to . give, as far. as lies in his power, the cowmanding places in the State to enemies ot the Government. : . It-can scarcely .be possible that Governor Downey is the tool of designing men, as was Buchanan, and that he is preparing far himself a chaplot of infamy, like that of the despised sojourner at Wheatland. Will some are the arch devils whe inove the puppet. if any there be. ‘Whether as tool or principal, Gov. Downey ean reap no credit for throwing the military power of the State into the hands of enemies. There is an officer of the United States in command on this coast. who will gee to it that the loyal people of this State ‘are not betrayed by accidental upstarts, invested with a little brief authority. &e The Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth quotes that which to be the proceedings of a meeting of young ladies in Indiana, in which they declaze against marrying stay-at-home young men, and pledging themselves to receive only the addresses of soldiers,» and makes this crue] comment: ee We admire the‘spirit of these “ pretty little devils,” and hope that each of them will have a good husband, and, if possible, an editor. But, from the angelic manner in which ~ fend our young men, we are afraid that the I. G.’s will have to take Home Guard§, or = without a, “hubby “dubby,” enptireone look behind the scenee and tell us who. your Kentucky girls “smile on,” the Ohioand Indiana boys who have come over to de= . We presusne that everybody has heard of St. Peter's Pence. ‘It is a ¢ontribution ‘which every Catholic Priest, all over the J world, has been levyisg on the simple minded memibers of that church, for the ostensible purpose of assisting the Pope in his distress. That distress was supposed to be brought about by the fous to the Pope of the provinces which, taking advantagé of the withdrawal of the Austrian garrisons which held them tor the Pope under their iron heel, frantically and unanimously voted their aunexation to the new Italian kingdom.as soon as the grip of the Austrian on them was loosened, thus depriving the Pope of his usual revenues. His Holiness very much deplores the perverseness of thesepeople in thus ‘repudiating his authority. which he contends they have no‘ right, no business to do, as they form part and-pareel of the “‘ Patrimony of-8t. Peter,” -thewhich“ Patrimony” he, the Pope, holds in trust for the aforesaid St. Peter. It wil therefore be seen that the perverseness of Napoleon is great in forcing the Austrians to keep their hands off the throats of these people, or as we should rather say of this -‘ patrimony,” albeit His. Holirfess -fills the world with his lamentations, and makes humberless appeald to the honesty and fidelity of all good Catholics, in assisting him-to regain possession Of his property, i. e. a few provinces, containing some three millions of people, who unanimously ‘declare they are men and women, and not “‘patrimonies” and that nothing buf fire and sword ean ever again make them live under a governmerit they abhor. This is. precisely the very remedy which His Holi. ness designs to apply to these misguided people. Finding it impossible to persuade his dutifal son, Louis Napoleon, to shoot and slash his flock back to the Papal fold, and failing, moreover, in inducing him to allow the Croats, who stand ready and eager, to come and perform that Christian operation, he resolved to muster an army himself.. But as anarmy,and particularly a Pontifical army, money, un appeal was made to the faithful, and the Catholic clergy throughout the world set to work with that zeal which characterizes their congregations. AMany millions of dollars have thus been raised from the poor and lowly and forwarded to Rome, and we think we can safely assert that, barring a few whose principles and interests are interwoven with the Court of Rome, not one in ten thousand of the good souls who contributed their mite, had anything like a clear idea of the infamous use to which their contributions were ‘to be applied. It must be so; for how else can we account*for the strange, anomalous spectacle of a naturally brave and generous nafion, suffering herself and writhing in the grasp of her conqueror, taking the leadamong the nations who contribute their money towards the support of a government whose bigotry, intolerance and despotism are thé most stifling, the most crushing, the most demoralizing the world ever saw. How else could we account for the eagerness with'. which this people, whilst wailing over their lost nationality, were volunteering for the purpose of foremg another people, who had nobly freed themselves, back under a tyranny compared with which theirs is absolute independence ? ‘ Nothing but the vilest deception could haye induced this generous pabple to thus belie by their actions the professions of their attachment to the cause of. national fréedom which they have so often and so ‘loudly made. . : Everybody remembers~ the ignoble dispersion of the army which Lamoriciere had assembled at Castelfidardo. A trial which has just been concluded at Oran, in Algeria, the subject of which was a discharged French soldier who had been seduced into enlisting. yin the Papal army, has thrown a good deal of light on the use made by the satellites of the Pope, of the money which the Catholic clergy wring out of their flocks — the greatest amount being colleeted from those who ean least afford to spare it. The Pontifical recruiting agents watch in all the frentier towns, particularly: at Marseilles, for discharged soldiers from the army in Africa.— The Zowaves and Chagseurs are their favorites, though their success among them is not great. When, however, they have suiteeeded in persuading one by the most lying repres($34) and allow him 5.francs ($1) a day, until he reaches Civita Vecchia. But the new recruit is made te-give up his papers, and in exchange is furnished with false foreign ‘papers. ° Once arrived-in Rome he 1s incerporated in a Papal regiment under an Austrian rifame. Thus dénationalized and his very identity taken ‘away from him so as to preclude as cannot be mustered without a great deal of . them, and’ ground what they could out of . -entations;-they give -him—a—benus-ef-170-fr., 4 any possible interference on the part of the French Government, he is.made to feel the beauties of the discipline and organization of ‘the Pontifical army. Half fed and half clothed, the least infraction is punished with the bas‘tinado. No murmur isallowed and desertion is punished with death: The poor fellow, without any papers to prove his identity, and wearing and known by an outlandish name which he is unable to pronounce himself, can do nothing but ‘submit to everything. — Such men, of course, cannot,be expected to perform heroic actions, and their ignominious defeat under Laimoriciere, is only a sample of the manner in which every battle will 4urn out between tha Papal soldiers and thoxe ef any other power. This Fecruiting is still going on, the new recruit now having, besides the advantages enamerated above, the further honor of:fiinding himself fighting alongside of the late King of Naples’ soldiers, who are for the most part: bandits and, murderers.— under the name of “ Peter's Pence” is ap-plied. We know’a geutileman, by the name of Uncle Sam, who would make use of ‘‘Peter’s Pence,” just about now, in. a manner which would promote the cause of civilization and Zood government. but as the poor fellow is only President of the United States and’has nothing of the martyr about him, he finds it difficult to get pence at all, eve® when giving his note with good security. ce The following New Books have just been received by the Nevada Library Association : .

Edwin of Deira—a Poem. om IRISH PATRIOTISM.—During the last war with England, the “ Irlanders,” or 7th Foreign Regiment of the French line, endeavored to enter the army of thé United States. In the petition of the officers to the President,*they said: ‘‘The French Government received’ us and treated.us with dness, and ’tis with,regret we have determined on leaving it, but at.the same time. ’tis with an extreme satisfaction that we ‘prepose to serve a State whose government is congenial to our feelings, and whose spirit of independence has raised it to the first rank among land shall be always engraved on the hearts particularly upon that of ean Irishman.” This is the spirit which now animates the legions of brave Hibernians who are rallying beneath the Stars and Stripes.” &e Mr. Calhoun said ten years ago-in the Senate of the United States, ‘the war will Jast between the sections as long as there.is a slave in the South. The confict will never terminate.—The South, I fear, will not see it until it is too late. They will become more feeble every year, while the north will grow stronger and stronger.” THE First SECESTIONISTS.—When Gen. Greene retired after the battle of Eutaw to the Santee hills, in September, 1781, the South Carolinians endeavored to persuade the Maryland and Virginia troops. to desert and go home; At last a fellow named Timothy Griffin, seeing some Marylanders in earnest conversation with an officer, went up and openly urged them to resist his authority. Tho officer, Capt McPherson of Maryland, knocked the mutinous South Carolina down, and then had him arrested. The next morning‘he was tried, found guilty, and shot immediately. in presence of the whole army. -This put a stop to “ Seéession.” Cot, BAKER.—The Philadelpeia Press denies that the late Col.Baker left a will as has been stated. So far as his relatives have any meaus of knowing, he died intedtate. His affairs in the Atlantic States will be settled by his brotber, and in San Franciseo they have been intrusted to. his son-in-law, Stevens. ; " = nations : its resistance to the tyrrany of Eng. : of every real friend of liberty. but most] We copy the f A Pieasant INCIDENT.—f received a package of sheets, pillow cases and towels, yesterday, fram an old lady inGreenfield township, labelled ‘From the widow of Gen, John Swift, who was a.soldier in the Revolution, and was killed at Buffalo in 1812.”— God bless her aged heart,,so Joyal and true.

was a private-in the Connecticut Line, during the Revolutionary war, with Gen. Sulliollowing from the Deton to chastise the Indians, in the Genessee Valley. Atthe close of the war he emigrated to Western New York, and founded the town of Palmyra, Wayne county. Several years before the war of 1812 he was appoint. ed a Brigadier General. \ His brigade extended from Buffalo to Albany, and he’ devoted ing to his duties. He held the same position in the war, and was treacherously shot, near Lewiston, by a British officer who had ° surrendered to Swift’s command. After the war closed the General's body was taken to Palmyra and buried with military and imasonic houors. , {2 The Marysville Express is rejoiced that no allusion to pelitics was made at the late Reform School Celebration. subject to such as-the Express.
