FRIDAY, JULY 19th, 1861.
THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
This important state paper is not yet in
California, but. will be in a few hours. The
Sacramento Union, of Wednesday, however 4,
“gontains a remarkably comprehensive s¥nopsie of its statements and arguments, furnished by its St. Lowis correspondent. For
this synopsis we have not space at present,
or we should gladly give it to our readers. ~
The message refers to the embarrassing
cireumstances which surrounded the present
national administration on its assuming the
government on the 4th of March. The
_ fanetions of the government were generally
“suspended in thé seceding and seceded ‘tates.
The public treasury had been robbed by men
high in office under the preceding adminis-.
tration. Northern arsenals had been stripped
to farnish the seceding states with arms and
miunitions of war, and the southern arsenals
and forts had been seized and fortified. The
regular army was scattered over a vast extent of territory, and the navy similarly
séattared to all quarters of the globe, rehdering the immediate -concentration of either
impossible. Under these circumstunces of
almost complete powerlessness, the new
administrstion was confronted by a bold and
defiant rebellion of seven states. Taking
advantage of this temporary powerlessness
the rebellious states initiated hostiljties by
the bombardment and captare of Fort Sumter: wher its garrison was in a starving condition and on the point of surrendering. By
this act, the issue was forced, of an immediate dissolution or. blood. This igsue, the
message contends, embraces in its conse-quences more than the United States. It
embraces the entire civilized portion of the
human race, by presenting the grand question, whether a, government by the people
can or can not maintain its existence and integrity against domestic enemies. The freedom and happiness of civilized mankind are
deeply concerned in having this question defermined in the affirmative. As the readiest
means of settling this question, aud to demonstrate the fact that the government of
“the United States could be sustained and
perpetuated by the national will, the administration appealed to the loyalty of the people. The appeal of the government “met
with an immediate and enthusiastic response,
showing to the nation and the friends of
free government, every where, that the
American Union, though severely threatened,
was in no danger of ultimate disruption.
The doctrine of state rights—that: portion
of it which insists upon the sovereignty of
the several states—the message pronounces
a fallacy, because as they only become states
on their admission into the Union; they: could
not bé sovereign previous to their admission, and could have no sovereignty to resume.— .
The message argues the fallacy of state-sovereignty, under the plea of whith the seceded states claim the right of leaving the Un. Jon at pleasure, at great length, and shows
_ the turpitude of secession, in the robbery of
the national property by the recusant states.
‘The President refers the entire matter to
Congress and leaves that body to decide upon the constitutionality, legality, and morality of the acts of his administration, since
ite inauguration, as wellas upon what fur
ther is to be done to produce peace and a
reconstruction of the Union. Aceordingly,
he recommends that there shall be no cessation of “warfare, no compromise, until the
rébellion be effectually crashed and exterminated. Thies result; he suggests, »may be accomplished by the immediate employment of
four h agand men and four hun.
Congress, the people will continue to sustain
rity they have ve already evinced with so much
a ae : x -e @ printed at Osceola, St. Clair County, Misnumber of the Osage Valley Star, a paper:
souri,.of the 6th of June; informs us that
our late fellow citizen, John ¥. Crenshaw,
Esq., is .captain' of a company of mounted
riflemen, under the secession flag. The company was organized on the 3d of June, by
. the election of Capt. Crenshaw and the other
officers, and is officially known as the 2d gom-.
pany.of State Guards, though the local name
is the’ St. Clair County Guard.” Osceola
is somewhat more than 20 miles from the
western line of Missouri: and some 80 miles
south-west of Boonville, where the late battle was fought. It is on, or nearly on, the
line. of Gov. Jackson's retreat from the Boonville affair, in which, .we presume, Captain
Crenshaw was engaged. The Captain is a
brave and noble-héarted man, and many of
his Nevada friends will regret to find him arrayed against the Union.
PEACE PROPOSITIONS.—-The New York
that Commissioners from Jeff Davis were in
New York City, whdse business was to submit propositions of peace to the government :
and, if failed in that, to exert. their tact in
inducing the New York capitalists not to aid,
by their funds, the government in its efforts
to suppress secesmon. Eastern people, who
are as well posted in southern maneuvers as
the Tribune, pronounce the whule of this a
figment of the imtigination. “That there may
be southern. sympathizers in New York city,
anxious for a cessation of hostilities and who
would be pleased‘to see the capitalists shut
down og the government, there is. not much
‘reason for doubt; but Jeff Davis would
acarcely send his Commissioners to New
‘York to do business that can only be done in
Washington.
T. B. McF'arRLanp, Esq.— The Marysville
Appeal, of yesterday, in its running notices
of the Republican candidates for . Nevada
county, this speaks of the candidate for Distriet. Judge: iid :
“ MeFarland, candidate for District Judge,
is an honorable and. capable. man, formerly
District Attorney, and favorably known
thoughout the county.”
We notice this only for the purpose of correeting one error in it. Mr. McFarland
never was District Attorney of this county.
The Appeal is right in allelse itsays of him,

“RUSHING THINGS.”—The Marysville .Appeal, of July 17th, says ‘we saw yesterday,
a small bough from an apple-tree, laden with
nearly ripe apples of a goodly size, said apples being a.second: crop of fruit from the
same tree this setison. We don’t usually
brag much, but if any of our neighbors can
beat that they may bring on their papers for
it at our District Fair next September.”
SMUGGLING JEWELRY.—A man named
Seelig, arrived at San Francisco, on the
steamer Golden Age last Sunday, having
about his person $10,000 worth of diamonds,
and other costly stones, which have been
officers. The pfficers had been proviously
warned through a communication per Pony
Express.
Tae Caurcw MiLiranr.—The Worcester Spy says the Rev. Gilbert Cummings,
pastor of the Unitarian Church at Westboro,
Mass., who has been chosen commander of
the company in that town, is the seventh
¢lergyman from that vicinity who has accepted a similar post of duty the present seagon. :

President will be in Virginia in less than forty days, all armed and equipped with every
necessary for a campaign. Each regiment
will have twenty-five wagons, instead of fif.
teev, the usual number, and those wagons
are tnade at the rate ‘of a hundred a week. °
MIKE BRANNIGAN.—According to. Wedneaday’s Union, the bail of the above named
brute has been reduced from $11,000 to $4,000, which he'has given and been released
from custedy.pony: news, at but 75,000 men. The federal
scouts have ascertained this to be the exact
number. « Hitherto it was supposed to be
about. 160,000. j
ALL STRAIGHT.—Tho cross charges of as. sault and battery in the Downey-Middleton
John Middleton, were @ismissed in the PoKee Court of San Franeieco, on Tuesday,
Ee
Tribune recently threw out mysterious hints . .
'. GP The réal strength of the secessionist .
forces in Virginia is represented, in the last
Hike, and thmks the people would like, to have
the leading candidates on the Republican and
Democratic tickets, address the same meetings, as was the fashion of Whigs and Democrats years ago. Sueh a plan certainly promotes fairness of discussion and the public
amusement. The Bee is told that ‘Governor
Downey will himself stump the Southern portion of the State for the Union Democratic
ticket—that Coffroth wil! traverse the State,
and Griffith teo,.and al host of others “too
numerous to mention.” But however great.
their numbers the Republicans can turn out
full as many speakers. E. B. Crocker, of
Sacramento, who is to be Stanford’s Secretary of State, and who is a’ good stumper,
will; we hear, take the field at an early day,
and keep it. until election.’ 00k

Cot Emory.—This officer, who was silly
enough to resign and whose restoration to
the army has caused much dissatisfaction
and perhaps justly, is entitled to some credit
by way of offset to his resignation. When

mense physical power and indomitable coolness gave him an advantage over . inost ‘men

that fact, he frequently asserted that he could
not-be killed: But like~all desperate characters, who rely entirely upon brute force, he
discovered his mistake too late. One cir‘cumstapce will illustrate the impudence and
hardihood of the man. In the “winter of

been formed in San Francisco for the purpose
of breaking up the Cvolie system. The
rules of the order comp! members to dispense with all articles of Chinese: manufacture, and to use every expedient to abalish

in influence and membership. Lodges . will

A Bone for .Joun BULL.—Ruseell
writes to the Lordon Times that thirty-five
English subjects had been forced by violence
into the rebel service at New Orleans, though
afterwards released through the intercession
of the British Consul.
Bees aND Honey.—The bee buisness,
which last year, and particularly ‘the year
before, was all the rage, has not usurped
much attention this season. The country
is well stocked with these emblems of industry, but they are not producing the anticipated reward. The season has been fur more
than ordinarily backward, and bees have not
multiplied as was their wont; while honeymaking, save in some localities, has been
rather at a discount.— Bee.
