: The hurly-burly of ‘the partisin campaign .
2 ght a
pas commericed in black earnest: Stump
orators are chalking out their lines of march,
ond the variqns candidates are on the wing,
each prepared to “prove the worse the better cause,” should partisan or personal suc» gees require such a’ prostitution ef logicPolitical editors now —— their pens with
energetic ardor, and wield them with fingers
nerved by desperation. Each politician
will vehemently assert—and by’r Lady.will
gweur—that his political party is destin__ ed to. sweep the field, and that.not a greage~~ gpot of all its opponents. will be left to shew
they ever existed. Civil and sober people
will be button holed and forced to swallow

without mercy or stint. Dirty children will
be caressed by office-seekers and complimented® on their beauty and their resemblance to their mammas. 0, there will be
busy times, all over the State, during the
dog-days !
Se ieee to tell how much to believe
and how much to disbelieve of what politi‘cians tell us; but they never fail to tell us
excellent stories of themselves and very uncomplimentary ones of their adversaries.
There being three parties in the, field, the
strife, as a matter of course, takes a trian.
gular shape. So far, the Republicans and
Breckinridgers waste but little ammunition
en each other, but seem moved by a common purpose to throw hot shot into the
ranks of the Douglasites. It we are to lend
credence to the’ @ditorial boastings of these
first-named belhgerents, we would be led in‘to the notion that the Douglasites are about
to be melted away by desertions from their
flag to both the opposing flags: The Repubcana point, with exultation, to Col. James
C. @abriskie; George Barstow, and other
aS Douglasités, of talent and influence; who
have mounted the stump in the cause of
Repblicanism ; while .the Breckinridgers,
quite as\exultantly, brag on John Nugent,
Edmund Randgjph, R. P. Hammond, Humphrey Griffith, ‘et id omne genus, who have
deserted Douglasismfor Bréckinridgism. ‘The
favt is, there really is a significant. something
in these movements of receritly distingnished
_némbers—of the Union Demderacy, that
looks squally for® that party. . According to
igaus, there are two constituent
jn the’Douglas Democracy, Union
and ‘Secession, too antagonistic to remamn
harmoniously together, and which, like the
oxygen and hydrégen of water, fly off from
each other, and leave the compound non est,
when exposed to the galvanic impulse of a
national political’ issue. The Douglasites, in
eseaying to maintain’ a juste milieu between
the wide extremes.@f Republicanism and
Breckinridge Democracy. have imposed upon
themselves a task of infinite delicacy and
difficulty, and. they. may as well prepare
themselves for a world of tribulations in the
way of desertion from their banner. They
have some excellent names on their State’
ticket, a circumstance that may do much to
save their party from the decomposition
with which it is threatened by its two antagonists.
In the smoke and clamor of the canvass it
is not an easy matter for the most philosophical and impartial minds to keep cool and
avoid beivg enlisted under some one of the
partisan flags; for there’ is a contagion in
party madness, the most subtle and insinuating of all contagions. It is the interest of
California to fill the public offices with houest
* and capable men, who ate true'to the Union
sentiment, whatever may be'the name ofthe
party that claims them. Therefore, let the
partisan editors, stump orators, and fuglemen rant and fume—it is their vocation—but
be it the duty and the pride of every conscientious voter of California, when he goes
to the ballot-box, to make honesty, capability
and fidelity to the National Union and Constitution the sine qua non of his suffrage.
Dake Pass RaltLroap.—tThe Territorial
Enterprise, published at Virginia City, relates
that Mr: T. D. Judah is making rapid progress toward that place with the strvey of

( The Richmond Whig. states that the
impression prevailed that a great battle ’is to
be fought at or neat Manassas. It adds that
such is the confidevce of some persons, both
in the fact of the battle and its results, that
through ‘tickets to Washington and Baltimore, and in some cases to Philadelphia,
have been bespoke. Nobody seems to doubt
but that the Yankees will be speedily routed,
if our boys can only get a fair lick at them.
The public impatience is intense that the
blow should be dealt. No more delay, but
ut the Yankees to rout at once, that Maryand may have a chance to rise, as one man,
Nand.crush" her toul oppressors. The rout
once begun, it will never cease till peace is
. dictated in New York. The people crave
‘an Italian campaign, like that of the Great
Mepoleon. to scatter old Scott's anaconda
folds. and bring. the Yankees to a sense of
their insignificance. This is the tone of the
populaer-pulse,.quick and feverish but not at
all inconsistent with a fixed determination to
conquer; and with every confidence in the
nilitary skill of our commanders.
te The New Orleans Delta, of the 11th,
says there is no use of furtheir persistence by
the confederates in endeavoring to obtain recognition of their nationality. It says the
British Ministry has not the courage nor the
inclination to apply to the Confederacy the
rules which it has uniformaly apphed to
other nations, and says too much importance
has been assigned to the idea that France
and England would break the blockades to
get Southern products. ‘The editor proposes
to recall the Cotamiastovery, and refuse the
resident Consuls of all powers.
te The Mobile Mercury says: This war
must goon. The South must fight until the
North sues for peace. Pass a non-intercourse act, and then she will soon begin to
feel the ruinous pressure of the war.We
must dictate the terms of peace, the first article of which should be an acknowledgment
of the right of Secession.. This is a fundamental principle. The next article should
be that she pay, to the uttermost farthing,
the expenses of this war. The third is, that
she pay for the destruction of all property,
both public and private, which she may appropriate to her own use The fourth:is that,

How Wars are Decipep.—Successful
wars are usually decided on a given point
and in asingle day. It is the greatest error
to suppose a campaign extends to every village in & State, and is composed of a series
of little combats. Russia was overwhelmed
at Austerlitz and Friedland, by troops who
had neverseen’her soil ; Napoleon was burled from his throne at Waterloo ; Francis
Joseph was subdued at Solferino, and the
victory of Wolfe at Quebec, won the Canadas for England. In the Crimea, the legions
for Nicholas were exhausted at Sebastopol.

It is settled largely by. Germans, and the
German press, without exception, favor the
measure. The Union party there, already
8 , is i ar ‘increasing, Secret Union
associations have been formed, and their influence is daily.extending from county to
county. General Carpen,--who has: distinguished bimself by his opposition to the Secessionists, has nominated as an uncon-.
ditional Union pons rs for the Congress -of
the United StatesHe has been for some
time at the head of a body of Union men.
TRULY InpDEPENDENT.—The San Francisco Morning Call collates the party papers
in this’ State, and sums them up thus: Republican, 8 ; Union Democratic, 21. It then
adds : ’
“There are five Independent papers in
the interior which have a decided leaning toward the Union Demoeracy, viz.: Folsom
Telegraph, Columbia Times, Los Angeles
~News, Monterey Union, and Santa Cruz
Sentinel; ‘one, the Dutch Flat Inquirer,
which squints towards secession as much as
it dare; and one, the Visalia Sun, which
squints toward Republicanism; and two
in this city, the Alta and ‘Bulletin, in the
same category us the Sun. Of the truly Independent papers, which treat all parties
without fear, favor, or affection, are the Sacramento Union, the Sacramento Bee, the
‘Weavervill Journal, the Yreka Journal, the
Nevada Transcript, and the Daily Call.” *
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION.—The
Secretary of the Treasury says in his report: :
“Before dismissing the subject of the propor provision for ordinary expenditures, including interest on the public debt aud a proper
amount for a Sinking Fund, the Secretary
respectfully asks the consideration of Conress for the question whether the current
Tichnetegenewte of the Government may not
be themselves diminished. He ventures to
suggest that a considerable saving may be judiciously effected by a reduction, for the time
at least, of forty per centum upon salaries and
wages paid by the National Government, in
cases where such reductions will not interfere with.the existing contracts.”
STRONG HINT TO PRUPERTY OWNERS.
As many persons appear to consider it honest and safe to swear to a false valuation of
their taxable property, it may be well for
them to-know and: remember that the Supreme Court thinks differently, It has recently decided, in a case appealed to it, that
John Quinn is guilty of perjury in swearing
falsely to the Assessor of San Joaquin county, regarding the value of his property. He
is sentenced to the State prison for two
years.— Appeal.
DEAD AND ALive.—A Charleston merchant was drafted for the war some time
sinee, and procured a substitute who was
‘killed in an engagement. The merchant has
not go as he had béen regularly,killed, and
was so recorded. -It 1s said that the military
authorities refused to recognize his. title to
exemption, and insisted on regarding him as
a living man,
te Under the proclamation of the Governor, almost the entire population of Nevada is placed in one Judicial District, and assigned to Judge Mott. The arrangement is,
we believe, only temporarily made, in order
to give litigants an equal show while we have
but one Judge im the Territory.—Silver
Age.
iy Lord Melbourne, on being pressed to
do something for a journalist, on the ground
that he always supported his lordship when
in the right, retorted, “That’s just when I
don’t want hishelp. Give me a fellow who
will stick by me when I am in the wrong!”
A Petry Trey IDENTIFIED AS A MurDERER.—Deputy Sheriff Johnson, of Placer
county, arrived.in this city yesterday moruing, having in charge a man named A. w.
Hurt, who is charged with the crime of murder, committed in Napa county, about a year
and a halfago. Soon after the alleged murder, Hurt was arrested and indicted by the
Grand Jury of that county. On the 12th of
May, 1860, he escaped from the county jail
before his trial had taken place. About six
months ego, under another name, ae was convicted of petty larceny at Pine Grove,
Placer county : for which offense was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the Placer
county jail. When brought te.Auburn, he
was identified by Deputy Sheriff Johnson as
the fugitive Hurt, for whose arrest $500 reward had been offered by the Sheriff of Napa
vounty and $500 by the Governor of the
State. His term of six months at Auburn
has just expired, and he is uow being taken
to Napa to be tried for the first-named offense.
He was taken on board the steamer Antelope
