Ce ana ~~ @URSDAY, JULY 30th, 1861, yA AA TERA DAE MORE NTR CAROLE AGELESS A AM BE AES eae : 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 ~electioneering eloqueiice and mint juleps > elame 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 railroad across the. Sierra Nevada. No grade to exceed 110 {eet to the mile has been found from Sacramento to the Truckee. The route offers no formidable obstacle. . facturer of } new phase in patrictism. gent apes BC ition of the real merits of our national struggle. Hesaid: _ _ Crrizen Soupiers :—I have come among, you ag a chronicler of events, not as/a manu; ublic sentiment.

(Ap,» you are engaged in one ant wers that ever ange: ang hearts of nations. It is unlike any war mentioned in history. It is. not a. war in which a people are fighting for republican liberty against-a, monarchy, meither is ita war of conquest, such. as has made the fields of thed gore, but it is a war which, in its denouement, shall decidewhether a Repubhean Democratic Confederation has in itself the essentials necessary to its perpetuity and maintainance, or whether the old established forms of government are the only forms that can be made so intact as to preserve themselves against intestine revolution, as well as siete foreign encroachments. I have traveled somewhat extensively over your country, and especially over the more southern part of it, and have endeavored to study the character of your people and your institutions, and to come to se conclusions upon your every feature o' pepe: Ihave looked anxiously for a solution of your present difficulties, and hoped that such a solution might. be effected as should tend to reunite you in stronger bonds of nationality than you have known before; and this I will say to you, gentlemen, that the people of other countries, are looking to you for a solution of the governmental problem, whether a republican form of government has inherent strength sufficient for its own maintainance and protection. Itis not the ministry of European nations ; it is'not the press, of which I am but an humble represenative, that are so watching, but:the people of those countries are they who are the most intently looking for this solution. Now, in conclusion, gentlemen. permit me te say that Ido not and Shall not espouse the cause of either party in the peeeat unhappy controversy, and as a pre all I have to say 1s “‘ God speed the ght.” ( 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, as an evidence of her sincerity, ehe impeach and remove, from office Abe piety indict and hang him for treason and other crimes. 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. —— THE Picayune nays that’s has offered to capture the Brooklyn gate for a enc dred thousand dollars. This certainly a d World red with . and none more so than my own countrymen, . authority of J Sibley, a strong Union man, who rece arrived at. Washi frm Texas, that a movemerit is on foot to rate Western Texas from the rest of 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 yesterday, heavily ironed. —Uniok of Friday. te A modest man has been discoesian at the East. Ex-Governor H.
