FISHER, Ie-the authorized Agent of the Daily Transcript in San ‘Francisco. <All orders‘left athis Opera House, wil} be promptly attended to. BY CONTINENTAL THRVEGRAPH. The following-from'the Union of yesterday morning we copy from the Democrat extra: . New Yoru, Nov. 5th.—The Richmon Enquirer of Nov. 14th:says: “ Intelligenc® was received in thie city last night, and. conaweyed tothe War gz tiewcy that.a large force of the enemy, [ Federals] 4,000 strong, had invaded the eastern shore of the State, crossing from the Potémac. Our whole force there [rebel] is not over 1,800, and it will be impossible to get reinforcemepts to them across the water.” on The New York Herald’s special correspon‘reported having passed Fort Dina yesterday, bend fa south. " doceral activity aboger A the defenses of this city, and a feeling of security prevails. The same paper says the steamer Fingal has arrived at Savannah with a cargo of war munitions. The Richmond dispatch says: ‘“ We have information that the authorities of South Carolina have communicated with the [rebel], Government upon the subject of the hoisting of black flags, to which allusions have been ts since the attack on the coast of their e, * It is believed Gen. Lee has received orMARYLAND .— ‘Russell, in a letter to the London Times, and which ie dated Baltimore, September 19th, says: © ce . “But from the first there were strong hopes that “the tyranny would be Sit toe when the Confederates invaded Maryland ; and it must have been a bitter disappointment, particularly after the battle of Manassas, to find there were no traces of their deliverers’ footsteps, and that their voiees were aa distant as ever. General Scott's foresight, in fact, was never better exhibited than in the measures he took to secure Maryland et a time of enormous difficulty. Notwithstanding all . English writers, since the present rebellion . “yong duration; that such. governments consolution. Lord Macaulay advanced it atrongly Hy * repeatedly published in America and is famil. ment. However thie may be, it is certain: . peoratic institutions. With a profuse expres_n the United States broke out, have been pleasing themselves with long dissertations on the weakness of Democracies. The idea has been a favorite une with British writers, that no government by the people’can be of tain within themselves the seeds of early disin a letter to Mr. Randall,‘ which has been . ‘ jar to all. It is, we believe, a prevailing sentiment among monarchists every where.— Perhaps the wish is father’to the thought iv form of governthere are thousands of strong and inftuential minds throwing off their chuckling articles on American misfortunes through the medium _ of the foreign’ press. “ They tell the world the rebellion’in America is the natural and inevitable con sequence of republican or demsion 6f sorrow for our political misfortunes, . and an affectation of national magnanimity, we are yet blandly informed that nothing but & constitutional monarchy. will do to govern the people permanently and well, and that dent says, a difficulty is progressing between Regiment, and a Major of the Tammany, N. ¥. Regiment The affair grew out of the report of Col. Herrick to Gen. Stone, in regard to the engagement at Bull’s Bluff, which contained severe strictures upon the conduct pte Tammany Regiment. It is understood Ahata challenge has passed from the Major to Co). Herrick. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15th.—The WU. 8, steamer Hilsed went down the river last night passing batteeies without being fired on, as far as we are aware. The Bachear, and. an other schooner, passed downward this forenoon. The Ut S. steamer Resolute, and another, -in passing Cook Point were fired on, and as they passed down the whole range of batteries opened upon them ‘in succession, several batteries throwing shot and shel) together. Several sheJJs were seen from the deck of ae Yankee to burst over .the Maryland shore, Fortress Monrog, Nov. 15th.—Steam frigate San Jacinto has arrived with Mason and Slidell, rebel Commissioners, taken from an English steamer in the channel of the Bahamas. The name of the English vessel they were taken from has notas yet transpired. All the documents and papers of Mason and Slidell were seized. Their families were permitted to proceed. The captain delivered them up under protest. Boston, Nov, 16th.—-Capt, Hunter, of the EERE ol acne Aa na aire neo ah ERE Hoda ey «cause the people of Mexico and of the South democracies are a humbug. * It is ta be noticed, however, in all English essays on the rebellion and its causes, wherein the character ef the Southern people and their peculiar political views are set forth, the aristocratical notions of that people are dwelt on, and their tota) aversion to that equality on which democracies are supposed to be founded is distinctly’ asserted. Our eare have indeed been regaled with the opin‘jon of wise Englishmen that the South had arriyed at that point when a scion of a royal stock wou)d be accepted with gladness to rule over the black and white population of the rebellious States, Admit such to be the fact, and it seems to me the admission, instead of strengthening the view that monarchists ‘take of our inatitutions, is almost fata) to it ; for, if the Southern people are oligarchists at heart, or are not deinocrats in principle, it would only show that, should the American Republic be divided or overthrown, the defect is nut-in democratic governments at all, byt in a portion of the people who are unfit to appreciate the benefits of such governments. BeAnierican Republics have made poor work of governing themselves, it does not follow there are no people on the globe who are able to do better. Because we have an institution in our Republic which is detrimental to the government and to democratic ideas, it does not follow that when the generie Shawe of antagonism to a democratic or republican government is removed that a stable government “by the people may not be established which shall secure to every citizen ail his rights and more blessings than any other government, of ‘whatever pretentions to permanancy or justice The destruction or rupture of the Ameriean Union would undoubtedly be disheartening te the friends of free government: “Yet, should it be our misfortune to suffer the evil, there is still the virtue in the loyal people of ' the nation to govern themselves, and successfally too, as England may find to her cost, through a period in the future longer than the age of some ‘of the boasted monarchies of the world, : The people of the United States have gov, erned themselves eighty years, and if we look at the results it is not to be dispyted that _ they have governed well. If they have had an element of discord to contend against in the lingering prejudices in favor of aristo cratic and monarchical institutions brought from the parent country and kept alive to the detriment of democratic institutions in our own country, and have kept the government successfully going for eighty years we may reasonably hope “there. is: power enough left) inyethe government as mapy yeare at least, there is no grounds people of the Union who are Bisanior Bernas, at Haiifirx, reports that when he left Bermuda, a British steam vessel and the rebel vessel Nashyille, were in port. The British vessel had transferred her cargo of arms to the Nashville, and the latter had put Mason and Slidell on board the English vesse}, which woyld take them to England, while the Nashville would run the blockade with the arms, Fort MonreeE, Nov. 15th.—The steamer San Jacinto has just arrived from the coast of Africa, via West Indies, where she has been crising for six weeks. The fort was electrified by the tidings that the San Jacinto had on board Messrs. Mason and Slidell, who were going abroad as ministers of the Southern Confederacy. Com. Wilkes sajd he would report at head-quarters, in person, and will forward dispatches to-night, The Belvidere having been repaired will leave Fort Monroe for Port Royal to-morrow, with mails and dispatches. LYNCHBURG, Vu., Nov. 13th,—It is reported,. but not confirmed, that the Union men of Tennessee have taken possession of Bristol. ; It is reported from Savannah that in conarqoanes of the victory of the Federal fleet at Port royal, everybody was greatly alarmed and small parties who were packing np their goods to leave, had veen notified by the authorities that they would not be permitted to carry off their goods. The Republican is indignant.at the cowardly desertion in time of danger, and yrges Gen. Lawton to issue an order: prohibiting a}l able-bodied men under sixty years of age from leaving. New York, Nov, 16th.—The regulars from California left for Washington this morning. The British steamer Avoo which arriyed at Aspinwall just before the Champion, rebes thatsthe privateer Sumter was at Barudoes, Oct. 22d, A special to the Tribune from Fort Monroe, Nov. 15th, says Mason and Slidell were aboard the British mail vessely Com. Wilkes sent aboard and demanded‘ their surrender. The reply: was that there was. not force enough to take them. Wilkes sent an additional force, and put the San Jacintu into a] convenient position. Masen and Slidell were then surrendered. The English steamer took them on, not knowing who they were. Their friends were allowed to proceed to their destination. Capt. Wilkes, it is understood, acted pn his own responsibility. Gen. Wool granted permission to Slidell and Mason to send open letters to theit friends this evening, There are 1,500 men at Annapolis ready to embark. The current rumor is that they are to reinforce Gen. Sherman, The fleet is understood to have gone to Pensacola. The news of another exploit may be expected soon. en. Sherman is reported to have seized Pinckney Island and all the able bodied negroes.

Wise at the t'me of the John Brown aid, and that when South Carolina is done with the jnvaders the Confederate Goyernment can have them.” WHERE THE LAUGH COME IN.—When the news of the battle of Bull Run arrived here, we saw plenty of ‘‘ peace men” who could net retain there feelings of delight and openly exulted over the defeat of our arms. he same men are around the streets to-day looking as blue us possible, and groaning ‘in their souls at the enormity of “ this wicked war.” If makes all the difference in the world to these peace men, who whips.

Whether he is or not, he has certainly had eneugh to make him bitter. A band of the rebels went to bis house in East Tennessee with the avowed intention of hanging him, and not finding him at home, they cut a hickory withe in the woods and with it scourged the body ofshis wife: Who could wonder if the outraged husband were to raise his clenched right hand toward God’s firmament and swear t9 Wage a war of extermination against the infernal miscreants !—Lotisville Journal, OLD CALIFORNIANS TURNED TRAITORS.

Also, Thomas Flournoy, formerly of Quartzburg, Mariposa county, was at Richmond. Also, B. B. Harris, Esq., lately of Mariposa, was at Richmond, but whether in command in the Confederate army, or even in that army, we cunnot asser$ positively.
