> * , . 4 % Office, No. 36 Commercial street. —eee FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 13th. ‘'Trr, Lesson tauglit at Manassas is an im~ ‘portant oné, if properly improved. We have discovered the members, resources, spirit, Sie iota a etait Sckcall und modes of warfare of the,rebela we are.to meet. Jeff. Davie, noticing the ‘proposition. of the United States to raise four hundred ‘thousand men, and four-hundred millions of, ‘Money, calls for increase from the rebel Congress. Ifthen they had one hundred and fifty thousand men in Virginia—two thirds of them near enough to be called into action ——we may expect, an increase of fifty thousand more by the time we shall be able to Tenew the attack. We know they will improve their leisure, in strengthening their fortifications and drilling their men, and finally fight with desperation. The duty of the government and of Congress .is plain; we must ineet them with a greatly superior force, better armed, equipped and officered ; and cost what it may of men or money,the next battle must be a victory. No compromise—no peace can be had with defeat upon us. The war must be prosecuted more vigorously than ever, till the past is wiped out and our arms win glorious laurels. It is well to discover that this is no playday affair, and that all the énergies of a great nation will be required to aecomptish our task. When again we shall have vindicated ‘our good name betore the World, it will be a proper subject to discuss, whether we will propose or accept of any other terms than the sword ; but at present that is the only alternative. Let us take time to get ready, let us have every man and every gun that the commander shall desire; and let us by all means avoid another failure. A defeat that would be fatal to the South, night. only be acalamity to us; but we can’t afford suother repulse, and if human prudence and courage can give victory we ought to have *Tue TiME TO Make Peace.—The St. Louis Intelligencer very forcibly replies to the ‘men who are now clamoring for peace.” It asks: ‘Could such » suggestion come from any one who felt a single pulsation of true patriotiam in his bosom? ‘Theproposition involves the utter humiliation “0 the Union, the Government, the People, a historic shame more calamitous than the loss’ of 4 million lives. The Federal Government ‘cannot afford to propose, or accept, a peace on the. basis of its first serious reverse. It it did, it would perish under a sense of its own pusilamnity. It-would be despised by its own _ Citizens, and insulted.and trampled upon the foreign governments. \The arrogant victors » themselves would mock at us asa vanquisbed people, and seize every opportunity to insult the honor we would not vindicate, and infringe the rightewe would not defend.— The very armies of the Union would spurn the Government that had betrayed them and organizing under some bold and daring leader, go forth to spread desolation over the land.” Tae Gop Crop or AUSTRALIA has declined from $62,500,000 in 1854, $40,000,000 in 1860, though the miners have increased from 36,000 in named year to 108,000 in the fast. Their average earnings have declined inthe six years from $1,750 to $270, showing that the fields are being rapidly exhauated. California is much richer in gold than Australia; but there is a decline in both countries, and perhaps it is well for the permanent good of both. The search for gold fevers the mind almost equally with gamb ling, and its rapid production inflates all manner of vain hopes, and wild, bascless spéculations, The sober and slow pursuits of ordinary industry are more healthful for the * individual as well ag fur the community, and are solidly enriching. The Melbourne Argus confesses this, in stating, that the Colonies are now far more than they were in the height of the gold preduction. The former minera, in vast numbers, have turned to _ sheep-raizing, and to various agricultural and industrial employments. The same process has been going on in. California, where the result bas been equally happy, and set our young State on a sound, strong, independent ‘THe will of Edmund Randolph was filed in the San Francisco Probate Court, on the tith. It bears date Fobruary, 1861, and ‘wakes A. P. Crittenden bis sole executor and gives the property half to his widow and balf ‘impossible to’ gee twenty feet ahead at 6 REVERENCE TO A Boy.—Juvenal says: “The greatest reverence is due to a boy.” Plutareh relates of Cato the Censor, that when-kis youthful:son was present he was as careful-of his words as though he was conversing with fhe Vestal Virgins, whose lives were devoted to perfect purity. Juvenal adds that nothing~unseemly, either in words or appearance, should-ever touch the threshold within which a boydwells. These sayings commend themselves to every one, and they scarcely, nged illustration or arguWhen we-co r the comparative purity of a child’s mind, his truthfulness, and his ignorance of evil, we feel that there is a sucredness about it which may well command our reverence. ~ : RATES OF OCEAN PASSAGE.—The prices of passage on the steamers of the P. M.8. 8. Co., through to New York, are as follows: First cabin, deck room $258 50; main deck room; $233 25; seco cabin, $140 75; and steerage, $128 25. To go to New York around Cape Horn in a clipper ship, first eabin, costs about $150, more or less, according to acéoinmodations, etylé of living, etc. A cabin passage tu China costs from seventy-five to one hundred and twenty-five dollars; to Australia, about the same; and the Sandwich Islands from forty to sixty dollars. A cabin passage to England costs about $150. City or THE Desert.—Humboldt City, on the celebrated river so named, contains fifty houses, many of them handsomely built of stene., Some of the builders are using adobes. Town lotesell for $50 to $200 ; but ter is worth 50 cents; potatoes, 10 cents ; flour, 14 cents, and fresh meats, 20 to 25 cents per pound. The town is 330 miles north-east of Carson City, and 130 miles from Honey Lake. It is the centre of a mining territory 40 miles long and 15 miles broad. * — : FoGs at THE Bay.—The Spirit says : ‘“The mornings fora week past have been disgustingly fogy and mournful. It has been o’clock in the morning, and the tolling of the bell at Fort Point, is enough to make an early perambulator feel all over. Fog, at this season, is indicative of rain, and ere long we will hear the rain drops pattering on our roof, by no means an unpleasant sound.” ntanentiiios THE INDIANS AND SEcEssION.—It is now a well established fact that a large majority of the people in the Indian territory —a district twice as large as New York, west of Arkansas, inhabited by Seminoles, Creeks, Cherokees, Choctaws and others, in all some 70,000—are in sympathy with the South and in rebellion against tee regular government of the United States. These tribea have been fostered, protected, civalized and christianized by the government, receiving all the benefita that Indians were eapable of appreciating, but they will now to the extent of their ability aid Jefferson Davis and his traitorous crew. A New Hampsnikt SECESSIONISTS.— Walter Norris son of the late ex-Senator Norrie of New. Hampshire, waa killed at Bull Run. He was-a_ member of the Beauregard Rifles, and for many years a clerk in the Post Office Department, and resigned his place to enter the Southern army. Ore.—On “Monday, fifteen thousnnd pounds of silver ore from the Central cempany, Virginia City, were sent to San Francisco though the Folsom forwarding house of W. L. Perkins. SETTLED BY STANDING.—*“ Sir, your account has stood for two years, and I must have it settled immediately.” To which the customer replied: ‘Sir, things usually do settle by standing; I regret that my account is an exception. If it has been standing tuo long suppose you let it run awhile.” ~ Very Fisuy.—lIt is said that four of Billy Wilson's pets were bathing near Fort Pickens a short time since, when a monster in the shape of a twelve foot shark came paddling along, probably tempted by the prospect of fresh meat. The lambs made a rush at the shark and actually drove him off into dvep water. A Camp in Et Dorapo.—Captain Judah, U. 8. A., recently appointed Colonel, of one of the regiments of Volunteers by the Governor, left San Francisco on the Sacramento boat Monday, with blankets and camp equipregimental camp at Piacorville.: _ , ‘H. H. Doamicx, United States District * €o his children. &#" The Louisville Journal says; A few evenings ago, whilst » gentleman who lives near Midway, in this State, and has a Union flag before his door, was absent, the Seces-‘sionists, about twelve or fifteen in number, went to his house, only his wife being at home, and counmenced cutting down the flag. The noble woman ordered them to leave. They refused. She demanded,.by flag. They replied, ‘‘ By the authority of our Captain.” She seized a*revolver and fired, when the scoundrels fled-in-consternation, and the victorious heroine, grasping the flag and-waving it in the air, gave three cheers for the Union. £9 Says a correspondent : Noone seemed to feel the-depression of thé defeat more intensely than Mr. Crittenden of-Kentacky. When he rose on Monday morning heasked, “Well, what further news ?’’ He had gone to bed under the delasion that the Federal troops had triumphed.:‘‘We are routed—utterly routed,” was the reply to his question. The old man started back in astonishment, and when the facts were brought before hun he went back sat down, and putting his head down upon his hands and burst into tears. ——s t The citizens of Tuolumne and adjoining counties begin to realize the value of the vast ledges of marble which abound in that section of the State. It is time that the people of these mountains begin to eomprehend that the wealth of California does not consist in gold alone but that many other inter: ests exist as important as the mining interest. The Amador Ledger says: Amador county can boast of as fine a quality of marble as can be found in the State. We are only surprised that more of itis not thrown into the market. If menof experience wou'd engage in the business, we can see nothing to prevent theui from being richly rewarded. nence to the fact that recently a young man ran away with a young woman from New Ashford, Massachusetts: They were marned and had retired to bed when the girl’s friends came to take her back. The lovers premptly decided that if they couldn’t hve together they would die together, so they cut their throats and lay clasped in each other's arms When foand the woman was dead. and the man was alive, will recover and be tried for murder. gees, te Rev. Dr. —— goes in for elegance of paraphrase. In ringing the changes upon— ‘‘ He that ears to hear, let him hear,” he did a fine thing one Sunday. “ He that is accessible to auricular vibration,” said the doctor, “let him not close the gates of his tympani.” If that isn’t hifalutin, then what is it? = te” A correspondent, sending us a marriage notice, says: ‘‘ States may go out of the Union, but men and women will go in. The Lord have mercy on both partiés ! ” [3 “I say, Jones, how is it that your wife dresses so magnificently, while you always appear out at the elbows?” “ You see, Thompson, ny wife dresses aceording to the Gazette ot Fashion, and I dress according to my ledger.” . in some countries « king is allowed to take his place on the throne at fourteen years of age, but may not maray until he is eighteen?’‘ Because’ suid the poet, ‘ it is easier to govern.a kingdom than a woman. ta” Harvey Lee, known several years ago in the assembiy-as an “aoti-mob law man” has been appointed as a lieutenant colonel in the California federal army. t" The San Francisco Mofning Call ‘is’ informed that the five regiments of-volunteers which are to constitute Gen. E. V. Sumner’s command, will leave for Guaymas or Mazatlan, avd march through Mexico to Texas. Mazatlan is but 800 miles from Galvesten. te The President of the United States will pay seven hundred and twenty-six dollars, and each member of the Cabinet two hundred and sixteen dollars, under the tax on incomes laid by Congress.

A CoMPLIMENT FROM THE PaAciFIc.—A very beautiful flag can be seen at the office of the Adjutant General, to-day, which has been sent by some patriotic citizens frem California, tobe presented to the first Regiment raised in the United States for three years service. It will be given to the Fourth Regiment, commanded ‘by Col. Levi Woodhouse. It is a beautiful thiug, and has an ns Ht arr and elegant design.
