Tae Weer Powr Ixrivence.—An offieer under Gen. Sigel complains that he bas

Pointers aro clannish, ina very great degree,

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.

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

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

the State at onee upon a war footing, we
hope the next Legislature wil! not be long

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
