Tae Weer Powr Ixrivence.—An offieer under Gen. Sigel complains that he bas been kept Bick frém the positions he deserved-by the influence of the West Pointers in the a¥iiy and about Washington. We have the influences exerted at the Mational Capital ate of the ‘sate ‘opinion. The West Pointers aro clannish, ina very great degree, +. gnd seem to regard those who studied trigo. * nomietry in any other school but the national Undoubtedly, if first class minds had been’ sont to West Point. the education received there wou'd have been highly beneficial. — But the long time of prace enjoyed by the country, has given littie hope te young men of ever being called on to command armies, and the bést thtelieets have very naturally selected other prof-ssinns that prowised more active fivid than the army offers in time ofp ence : ‘Phe boys who have been generally sent to West Point were those who could command thé influence of members of Congress, who chose the military academy beesuse they hud aot the: means to educate themselves elsewhere, or. because the army offered a Jife uf idleness with goo pay from the Government. Hyil it born known that such a rebellion as this would break out, it cannot be doubted, that many men who now shine in civil pow. tions would have sought to become studenu, ia the art of war, Wedo uotintend to disparage the officers that West Pomt hus turned out for this striggie. There are among thein scorvs of good wnd skillful commanders, who know their business. ond du a well. But we do say the condition of the country hus been such; and the incentives so great for the master minds vf the nation to secrk other than ___.military employment; that it is probable that few'nen of extraordinary powers ot intellect have graduated during many. years at thémilitary acudemy at West Point. We go further and any that» military edu. oation nt 4 national institution is not all that is required to make 4 fret clase general. — Natural gifts are requisite, and ‘it may be possible that Gen. Sigel, or even some man who has been rased whally to civil service , though neither has seen West Pomt, may be better fitted to commend an urmy than any Weat Pointer alive, As far xs the expetenor of this war goes, there has been no Napoleonic intellect brought out in bold re. _lef. There may be one, and it may be kept back and obseured by West Point influence. The country awaits the coming man. ARM THE Muittrha.—The Sacramento + Of Wednesday, has the right sort of ofan article advocating the o-ganization cf the militia of the State, and placing it ona war fuuting. To discipline the militia of California isan object of the first importance. Bt .mny never be necessary to call forces from the State to face the common enemy, but we shall show our wisdom to be prepared fur the very worst. Possibly there may be insurrections in some portions of the territories upon the Pacific, and then a well organized unlitin-will be of greut und essential service. It mny be possible that the State, in time .of national emergency, wil] need, at & moment's warning, all her male population in arms, We should be ready to meet the emergencies of any case that may nrive, We are negligent if we fail to be ready for war. We know not what' these troubleous times may bring forth. Nothingehould prevent us from being wholly ready. If there ia any power in the State te exeite the martial feeling of the people into action, we trust it will be used. and 1f there 18 mot adequate authority and means to put the State at onee upon a war footing, we hope the next Legislature wil! not be long in supplying any deficiency, In the wean time there oug' t to be home guards raised aod drijied with such arms as may be procumd by the members. Nevada should not he without one or two good sized companies, and it would be well if every able bodied man would shut up shop a half day in each week and dovote himself to learning the ese of urwe, We may dll have to come to it not long hence, 4 rbdaband ewlisted. These are fhatrous worthy the Nation. ding to them in this article ; but the exemple they and their friends farnish should not -be lost It m&kes herves of the living. _ A lady of our acquaintance showed to us, fell fighting for the country he loved so well, at Culpepper, on the 9th of August. The sad newe had just been received, She beld the unwelcome letter in her hand, The brother who had died on the field of battle was but 21 years of age, and belonged to the 66th Ohio, which so heroically maintained its ground .if the face of « vastly superior force at Culpepper. ‘The lady lost that brutber. Yet, we have heard her say she woul i offer no objection, should ber husband, leav~ ing her wrth fourtittle children, almost usprovided fur, take-up arms for his ovuntry. who has eight children, when friends endeavered to persuade her husband not to enlist, heroically said: Let him go. This rebellion must be crushed. Better that he and I should make the sacrifice than leave to our cight children’ an inheritance of misery!” The of atheroie age. The Indies of Carthage who clipped away their beautiful tresses to make ropes for the engines of wir, in a time of extremity, have rivals in the necessitivus times 5f the American Repullie. Another lady of our acquaintance has just received a letter informing ber that one brothér had fallen at the hands of a merciless foe, apd another bad been wounded, and on learning the newa another brother had rushed to arms. uch: 19 the spirit of the loyal pec:ple! It is, as we have suid, invincible, It ig engraven upon eyery lvyu) heart, that this infernu] rebethon, commenced without a sin gle reasonable cause, and carried on in a man ner disgrncefyl to a people professing to be ‘civilized; shatl-be crashed: aid thouch every heart. shall bleed, yet will the righteous impression upon it neverever be eficed. The war must go on till the enemies of the eoun try have bitten the dust, or the Unyon is restored in all its anblimity. ce” The Democrat bse struck another Jend on State Treasurer's offiirs. It agaeverates its belief that the Treasurer intended to feather his own nest in a late trananetion —a belief which is not entertained by anybady who knows the State Treasurer— and-a belief asaerted in the face of the fact that the affuir commented on, was discussed long before it took place in the presenee of many, as is wellknown, The Democrat has found a mare's nestin the report of the transactions ofthe State Treasurer's office for the week ending last Saturday. The ‘preminm saved the State by purchasing $63,000 in green backs for gold dees hot appear ia the report. Why it does not, though inexpleable to.the Demoerat, ia sinple enongh, The green backs were tendered to Cheeseman, we beheve on the-27th ult, Butit was not till the 7th inst, th.bthe Secretary of the Treasury, give instryctions te receive them.

If the Treasy-er hod been compriled to pay in coir, -no money woald huve been ie the Treasury te report on the 4th, or on the 7th. Probably, if the Demo. crat waite till the repcrt of the transactions w this week ure published, it will learn something which it did not know before.
