_ 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

. 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

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.

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
