We are aware that some of our chivaltie eotemporaries, who were cradied under storms of grape shot and tulled to slumber . by the thunders of attillery, will esteem us one of the old-granny stripe, who. sit smoking with a night-cap on im the chimney-corrner and talk of brotherly and sisterly love vwhile the fire is reaching percuasion.enough «to, blow the top of the head off !”—[ Vide Nevada. Journal of yesterday. ) But, mauger the contempt of these desperate fire-eaters of the press, whose courage, like champagne, requires the. strongest. kind of corking to “kéep it from exploding, and who, like the ‘Hibernian, are never at peace bat when fightdig, we think that a little less gasconading ‘anda little more quiet shrewdvess, on the ‘part of the Unionists of California, would ‘motinjure their cause very materially. How stands the case? It is admitted, on ‘il hands, that vast majority of the people hour state are devoted. to: the Union, and h Senator Latham, are convinced that the titer welfare of California depends on her remaining loyal to the Union, and yet this vast majority is divided into two, if not three, . Jealous factions, under the control of officeseeking demagugues, to whom “Union for “the, sake of the Union” is anything but a palatable proposition. Ina very few weeks, we presume, there will be an election for Congtessmen. What certainty have we, if these digunited Unionists go to the polls, each fac“tion under its own banner, with men of questionable character for its candidates, that gentine friends of the Union will be elected 1 Instead ot this frightful war talk—this flour” ishing of swords and muskets—would it not ‘we better for the Union presses of the state “to bet themselves to work to crush out the old and effete partisan organizations, and, by -agetting up a ticket of honest and capable lovvers of the Union, concentrate the Union sen‘timent of the state and direct it, en masse, vagainst the disunionists? = = ‘We are neither a soldier nor, a politician now—though, in our time, we have seen a ‘little of war and a little of politics—and our suggestions may be regarded as rather ‘told grannyish,” by the Hotspurs of the press, but . “we imagine that sensible Unionists: will find ‘gome wisdom in them. In the United States. ‘Benate California is now represented by two. panomen of undisputed talent, who are tu the Union. By a little quiet tact ‘and an utter abnegation of the pretensions and schemes of the old party hacks, by whom ‘the state has been so ‘much pestered and @urst, California may be as. respectably and : ntly represented in the lower house of ingress as she is now in the upper.

This threatened danger has made the marineinaurance offices exceedingly timid, and has materially enhanced the. rate of exchange between Culifornia and the east. If, aw is supposed, it isnot safe to ship treasure on the. regular steamers, as usual, recourse inust be had'to British and French vessels, The* Lien”and “Tri-Color,” will not be meddled with by the privateers of the Cotton Confederacy, and treasure will be safe with them, It would not hurt us much to have the'present extravagant shipments of goods, from the east to California, interrupted for a season. It would give an impetus to our. home manufactures. However, it is net probable that Uncle Sam, crippled as:he is, will permit these southern privateers to do much mischief. There are too many U. 8. war ships on the Gulf to make it pleasant for such free and easy crafts. The Federal Government, no doubt, will regard all such privateersmen as pirates, and hang them as such. —— THE Santa Chara SET CLERS.—A speck of civil war appears in Santa Clara county that threatens some trouble to the State. A vast body of nidagtrious settlers in that county who have. been most shamefully .victimized by land speculators, have determined to defend their possissons by warlike means. It ig stated that. they.cav bring two. thousand men into the field. The Sheriff of Santa Clara, unable to dispossess them, has appealed for aid to Governor Downey, who is now in San Francisco, engaged, it is said, in consultation on these troubles. ‘The San -Francisco papers announce. that a requisition on the military has been Saiaad but the report lacks confirmation. The Mirror of that city, of Tuesday evening, has the following : “Anxious to-effect a-peaceable settlement: of the squatter difficulties in Santa Clara coun ty Governor Downey carte down from Sacramento last. evening for the pu _of confering with Sheriff Murphy and. Mr. Matthewa, Chabolla’s attorney, in relation to the existing troubles. A conference was had today, but as Mr, Matthews was not: present, ‘notbing in the way of compromise could be determined upon, and Sheriff Murphy, we are informed, will make a formal requisition ‘upon the Executive for troops this evening to eject the Chabolla Settlers, in accordanc with a decision of the Supreme Conrt.” a LescisLaTive. — The Assembiy’s resolution to adjourn on the 13th of this month will be taken up and considered by the Senate to-day, at 2 P. M. Inthe Assembly a bill for the relief of in. solvent debtors has been postponed. There seems a strong probability that a ". branch State Prison will be established at Folsom. EXp.Losion.—The steamer Fort Yale exploded her boiler near Union Bar, Fraser river, on Sunday, April 14th. Samuel Powell and Joseph Osborn were killed; James Ellison and Thomas King severely wounded ; ‘several others alightly. Capt. Smith B Jamjeson, master of the boat, is missing. A number of Chinese and Indians are missing. ‘The boat is s perfect wreok. A piece of the boilér waa picked up halfa mile distant from the place of the explosioa. CALIPORNIA, APPONSTaENTS.— Joho T.

The canvass given will be the largest and most commodious ever manufactared here or elsewhere. There willbe no less than twenty efficient performers, and-a full and complete band of music—many of the members being celebrated in San Francisco.. They will have thirtysix horses and nine wagons; but a most potent feature will eonist ef their stage, seenery, dresses and decorations. Although playing under canvass there will be a regular . 4 gtage and scenery, not surpassed by that of any theatre in the state. Everything will be ver can detect no difference between the performances thus given and those which take place in the Opera House. Thisis an undertaking which has required the outlay-of large means and unusual enterprise,and we feel assured that it will be fully appreciated by our interior and Oregon friends, who may look forward with confidence to much innocent gratification, and amusement. _ If the Martinetti have done well in this State they. have also been liberal in in their expeditures, and under the experienced condyct of Mr. Hand, can scarcely fail tosucceed. The expedition will leave San Francisco on the Ist of this month. ~ From Wasuve.—According to the Virginia City Enterprise, the ramor was eurrent that a number of men had been killed near the Humboldt diggings. The report. proved to be incorrect. A number of Indians, chiefly Pah Utes, had congregated between the sink of the Humboldt and the sink of Walker river. They threaten to exterminate any whites, who. attempt to go into their section of country to prospect. The Winnemuccas say they desire peace, but can’t control the lawless bands of* Indians» towards Walker river.— Some-half-ounce pieces of gold which Indians had pounded from the rock, were found -recently on Edwards Creek, a branch. of the Hunboldt. -It had been procured fifteen miles north of that. But it is not safe to veuture up there after it, because of hostile savages. te” There are numerous oil stories going the rounds, and among them none are better than this, told by the Wheeling Intelligenver,: A darkey was superintending the boring of a well one night, the proprietor being anxious to complete the work apd therefore laboring night-and day. The weather. was cold a # fire was burning near the mouth of the well. About midnight a vein of gas was struck, and igniting by the fire, shot up a brilliant flame in the air, illuminating the ned white with fear, broke for ‘his —— house, yelling “Get u Thompsen, get up.

They are both instant in advancement of civilization in that tw A suit has been commenced in San Francisco against the executors of the Broderick estate for an order of sale of .certain mortgaged premises, on a note of $10,000, made by Broderick in 1856. *;Respire.—The Governor has granted a respite of the execution of Michael Harngan, who murdered his wite last fall, until the 14th ef June.“ He was sentenced to be banged yesterday.
