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

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

8. Co., through to New York, are as follows:
First cabin, deck room $258 50; main deck

adobes. Town lotesell for $50 to $200 ; but

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.: _ ,

" 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.

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.
