TUESDAY, JULY 16th, 1861.
THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
T£'will not be long ere the party candidates
and stump speakers will be out inal! their
noisy glory. The Republicans and Douglas
Demberats have selected their State and
county tickets, and have nothing to do, now,
but to pitch into each other, secundum artem.
Between these two redoubtabie parties the
quartel is altogether dne of organization and
spoils-seeking supremacy, for if there is any
material difference of principle between them
it will take an eight hundred horse-power
*4alescope to perceive it. Their platforms vie
with each other in professions of devotion to
the Uuion and reverence for the National
Constitution. Both parties have solemnly
pledged themselves, in their State and county
conventions, to do as much good and as little
evil as possible, Nothing canbe said against
. their creeds, and very little against their candidates. How they will manage to get up'a
furious partisan war is beyond our comprehension. But politicians are ingetiious, and
they will soon, in some way or other, find
plenty,of vexed questions over which to snarl
and bite.
With but few exceptions, these two parties have submitted very good tickets to the
consideration: of the veting public. A no-.
party man, ofit of the two sets of tickets, can .
easily arrange a ticket for himself which he
can_pat—into the ballot-box without: feeling ashamed of himself, If “the Breckin.
ridge Democrats, whose atate and county
conventions are yet in the womb of the future, adopt the same policy in their nominations, they will confer an immense benefit
upon us quid nunes, who have no higher political principles than an ardent desire to fill
‘the offices with the best men.— Our Breckinridge friends, however, if they persist in constituting theinselves the champions of south.
ern secession, will find the road to success
rather difficult, iu the present temper of the
Californians. Their etate convention is to
come off ou the 23d of this month, when.
perbaps, they will find it politic to materially
modify the platform they adopted a short
time.ago. But, whether they mend their
"platform or not, let-us beg of them to give us
good nominations. Let us have honesty and
capability in all the offices. That is our platforma. ; f ,
Henwness Pass Post Roure.—At the
lasteession of Congress an, act was passed,
which was approved. by the President on the
27th Feb., 1861, establishing certain post
routes in several states, among which is ove
designated as follows : e
‘¢ From Carson City, in the Territory of Utah,
to Nevada City, passing over the Sierra Nevada,
through the Henness Pass, with mail routes
diverging therefrom: first, one leaving said
near the western end . :
of.Henness Pass, to Downieville, Sierra count ;
and the second, leaving at Lake City, in the
county of Nevada, via North San Juan, to Marysville, Yuba county.”There are not many people, in this section
of California, aware of the establishment of
this post route; but the entire act of Congress is te be found in the San Francisco Herald, of the 13th inst., where it is published by
This route, it is needless for us
to state, is of vast importance to this portion
of the State of California as well as to a large
district of the Washoe country. That the
Postmaster General has not yet authorized
mail service upon itis, no doubt, owing.to the
‘ingraded state of the Henness Pass road.
Notwithstanding that the road is now filled
with teams and mounted travelers, it is not
yet ina conditien to fully warrant the placing
ofa line of stage coaches upon it. ~ It is estiinated, by many persons whohave recently
traveled the road, and who are competent
judges of road making affairs, that the sum
of ten thousand dollors, judiciously expen.
ded, is amply sufficient to make this road
the most level, best graded, and straightest
route acrdss the Sierra Nevada. It gratifies

between Jackson's and Virginia City, and
that, ere long, it will be in ample order for
any clas® of stage coaches. «

TRANSCONTINENTAL TELEGRAPH.—The
télegraph expedition, which, recently commenced operations to set up the line eastwardly from Fort Churchill, is making. excellent
headway. Fifty miles of the line, beyond Fort
Churchill, were completed nearly a week
ago, and fifty wagons are employed in distributing the poles and wire along the line. An
operhtor has been sent out to transmit pony
dispatches from the eastern extremity of the
line, wherever if may happen to be, as fast
as it is extended toward Salt Lake. »From
Salt Lake, westwardly, the same activity
prevails, under the superin ce-of Mr.
James Street, and it will not be long ere an
unbroken electrical’ connection ‘will. be: established between San Francisco and the
Capital of Mérmondom: On the other side,
the work is. rapidly progressing between
Fort Kearney and Salt Lake.

tk The Apache Indians are carrying
havoc throughout Arizona. Large set lements, in valleys and mining districts, have
been broken up, and the inbabitants murdered or-driven off. The details of the
latest intelligence from that region, for which
we have not space, are shocking in the extreme. Messilla Valley, so far. has escaped,
but the savage fiood is rapidly rolling towards it, and it must soon share the fate of.
the other settlements. In seceding from the
Union, and dispensing with the. protectior
afforded by the U.S. troops, the Arizoniana,
it is now very evident, perpetrated a grave
blunder—giving it a no worse name.

At Virginia City the occasion was sanctified

CALIFORNIA LoyaL.—A. W. Baldwin, a
son of Judge Baldwin, of the Supreme
Court, and a native of Alabama, isa genuine
Union man. He resides in Downieville, and
recently had a brisk discussion, through the
papers, with Thornton, the late secession
Senator from Sierra county. On the 4th, of
July he delivered ‘an oration in Oroville
which breathes the very soul of Aimerican
patriotism. In the subjoined paragraph he
thus eloquently expatiates on the loyalty of
Cahfornia to the Union:
Like the devoted woman who, when her
warrior lover came home from the wars, all
mtimed and shattered and disfigured, vowed
to wed him if enough of his body was left to
hold his soul, California will cling to the Unien
while enough of it-remnizis to administer the
Constitutiou, and maintain national existence.
She has no ambitious hopes outside of the
Union. No lure can tempt her beyond its
pale. Her affections and her duty are with it.
She turns a deaf and scornful ear to the oftered bribe of Pacific Republic. California’s
heart speaks the language of animmortal son
of Massachussetts : She goes for the Union to
the, lust beat of the pulse and the last drop of
blood. She knows that there—there—in that
@.deured name—beneéuth that charmed flag—
dimong those glorious old graves—in that
ample and secure repown, that there she has
garnered up her heart—there she must either
live or bear no life. With the sisters of the
Republic, less or more, she would live, avd
would die—one hope, one lot, one life,
one glory.

San FRANCISCU REPUBLICANS, —The
Republican County Committee of San Francisco, held a meeting on Tuesday evening,
and resolved that books of registry should be
opened in each election district, and none but
these who were registered -should hereafter
vote at Republican primary elections.—
There was a good deal of debate-on this, but
it earried. They resolved, too, that it was
not the proper thing to have any Federal officers on the Connty Committee. The resolution declaring Dr. Rabe's appointment. to

The second regiment, now at Camp Randall,

has given liberal employment to marrying
functionaries. Six came last week, from a
single company, and einployed their furloughs
in brief honeymoons. Of these, five. wedded
each his “ Annie Laurie,” but one left the
camp, and without previous expressed preference, hunted himself a wife, and left her
to receive the monthly stipend.

A DELICATE ADVENTURE —On reaching
his enbin, the chief presented me to his
daughter. » As this was the first time I had
ever been presented at a court where such
costumes were in vogue, IT was somewhat
embarrassed. You have heard of the North
Carolina major who considered himself in
full dress when he had on a hat and pair of
spurs ; but cander compels me to say that
the beauty of this dusky maiden was even
less ‘‘ adorned.” Then, too, her manners
were of a description ill-caleulated to set a
bashful man at-exse ;-for, as it was the firs?
time she had ever seen a white man, she had
a greal deal of curiosity respecting my com.
plexion, form, etc. She felt of my hair, endleavored to rub the white off my chin, pulled
my beard,: and teok divers other’ liberties
with me, with an innocence that was refreshing. The third day after my introduction into her presence, the old chief signified to me that she wanted me for a husband,‘and this intimation was so fervently
seconded by her eyes and lips, that I was
glad, of course, that our versel arrived just
in time to allow me to beat a graceful retreut.—Crowley’s Adventures in the MulLraves,
