MORNING, SEPT. 18th.

THURSDAY
DESTINATION OP CALIFORNIA
The question is beginning to be frequently
asked, in this quarter, “ For what particular service are the California troops, now
faiwed and being raised, intended?” This .
is & question of considerable importance,
just now, especially to such men as feel an
inelination to volunteer. A recruiting station, we leurn, is about to be established in
Nevada, and our young patriots, before they
sign away their individuality, would like to
know in what fields. their prowess is to find
employment.
’ A few days ago the San Francisco newspapers gave us to understand that one of
the California regiments was te be stationed
along. the line of the overland. mail route,
~~ while the others-were-tobe sent to Texas,
~ eros the Mexican Republic—the privilege
of marching United States troops through
that country having been recently conceded
by treaty. The route of these regiments
was thus indicated : by sea to Mazatlan, and
thence to the Rio Grande by a march on
land. There is something so preposterous
in the idea, of attacking the rebels of Texas
in the rear by some four or five thousand
Californians, that we never gave it any serious consideration. With the bays of Galves
“~ ton, Matagorda, and Corpus Christi, and the
“Mouth of the Rio Grande open to the United
Statea~Navy, into any one, or all of which,
troops can be poured from the sea, ad libitum,
the War Department could never entertain
the plan of attack by-a march across the entire Mexican territory. “Lhe journals, that
first announced this project, could have had
no warrant from General Sumner } and, indeed, several of these same journals are now.
denouncing it. as a hoax, or, what is worse,
a sordid’schome of certain speculators by
which, should the Government be silly enough
to adopt it, they might steal large fortunes,
Tt is not to be expected that General Sumner will garrulously reveal his \ purposes, or
penny-a-liners of San Francisco ; and, therefore, the conjectures and speculation’.ef the
press of that City, as to the future disposition of the California troops, are net entitied
to much consideration. We can only judge
of what the General means to do by what he,
has done. On Monday last an organized
bedy of volunteers was sent to Los Angeler,
_ and the probability is that the entire force is
destined for the Southern end of the State.
General Sumner expects fighting on the soil
of California. A strong corps of Texan rebels, under General Baylor, is slowly, but
surely advancing on the line of the late overland mail route. It has captured Fort Fillmore, on the Rio Grande, with its garrison
_ of five hundred regular troops, and ite object
is to take possession of San Diego, and then
-eonquer or revolutionize California. General
Sumner knows what he is doing, if the reporters of the press ‘do not, and it is evi. dent that he is doing everything for the best.
This corps of Texan rebels must be crushed.
and a more honorable or. glorious service,
than the task of crushing it, can not be-presented to the patriotic ambition of California
‘volunteers. It is a service in which all our
warlike youth should be proud to take a
part; and we trust the enrollment of volunteors will go on briskly, and that a small,
but brave and invincible, California army
‘will soon be in the field, ready te welcome
the invaders of our soil “to hospitable
SaTanic.—Some of the Secession papers
of the South evince a vast lack of Charity
toward the Yankees. A moat diabolical and
fiendish editorial appears in a recent number
of the Memphis Avalanche. It advocates
an indiscriminate hanging and killing of
Northern men, whom the editor alleges are
engaged in an unholy war, threatening to devastate their section by burning their houses
pillaging their lands and homes, ravishing
‘their wives, murdering their children, steal“ fing their negroes, eto. The atrocity and inbumanity of the editorial suggestions would
put to blush the moat horrid barbarities ever .
perpetrated by the wildest savages in our
‘United States Government abroad.

In one camp he found the privates drinking
coffee of an execrable quality. To his. inquiry as to the cause, he was inférmed that
it was the work of the quartermaster who
-was all the time eithér drunk or busy cheating the men and: the Government. He
dropped in upon the quartermaster, and politely hinted that the soldiers complained of
his bad treatment. The quartermaster flew
into & passion, and swore it was none of his
business, and he had better not come sneaking around, trying to mske mischief. MeClellan answered him, telling him he had better be cautious how he talked. Quartermaster replied, “Who are you, that you aasume so inuch apparent authority?” ‘‘I am
George B. McClellan, and you pack up your
traps and leave!” The quartermaster was
struck dumb, and McClellan turned ‘and left
him. That evening the quartermaster left

not ‘ get drunk and cheat,” and that regiment would risk their lives atthe cannon’s
mouth-for the nian who won’t see them imposed upon.
NAMES OF THE NEW GUNBOATS.—Indian names are to be given to the new gunboats now building for the Government.
The boats built in Maine are to be called
Kathadin, Aroostook, Penobscot and Kinéo;
those in Massachusetts, Marblehead, Sagamore, Chocura and Huron; in Connecticut,
Owasco, Kenawhat and Cayuga; in New
¥Yerk, Unadilla, Ottowa, Pembina, Seneca,
Chippewa and Winona; Pennsylvania, Itasca,
. Seiota and Wissahickon ; in Delaware, Iaho‘ma, at Baltimore; Pinola. ,
RussEL.—It seems that the tremendous
correspondent of the London ‘Fimes is not a
genuine; but a spurious, John Bull. The
Monitor, an able catholic journal at San
Francisco, calls Russell, a cockneyfied Irishmau who abused hie ewn countrymen, and
who has sold himself to the Englih interest.
It thinks ho is instructed to write in such a
way as will destroy the financial credit of the
One
lhing appears to be perfecly certain and that
is, that Dr. Russell has completely ‘“played
himself out,” in both the North and the
South. Ia Tennessee the Seceshers promise
him a coat of tar and fathers, should he ever
again travel that way; and, in Washington
City, he is regarded by the Unionists as a
cowardly liar.
Sterra VALLEY.—This beautiful valley’
lying about thirty miles from Downieville,
gave a large majority for the Union. Its altitude is about 4,000 feet above the sea, its
dimensions are about thirty by fifteen miles ;
a miniature of the valiey of Great Salt Lake,
barring polygamy. Alluding to its electioa
returns, the Marysville Appeal, says: The
mountains everywhere are always true to
freedom; as in Greece and Switzerland,
Caucassia and Wales, so in New England
and California—in Western Virginia and
Eastern Tennessee. The Union sentiment
lives and throbs in the hills, when it droops
and dies in the valleys.
A SENSATION ITEM.—On the day of election, in Los Angeles, 4 printed placard was
posted up all over the town, purporting to
give two telegrams, received that morning,
one from Coloma, the other from Sacramento, stating that Conness and McConnell had
fought and killed each other at Coloma, and
that Stanford had been poisoned to death at
Sacramento. What will not politicians do
to effect their purposes !
[i A Mexican, at the town of San Luis
Obispo, was hung at the jail door, on the
13th inst., by a lynch court, for committing
& rape on a married woman.

Tae Ropsep Inmicranrs.—The
party of immigrants, robbed by the Indians
titute of food, and with scarcely any clothwants have been amply supplied. It will
be remembered that, immediately on learning the condition of this party, the benevolent people of Carson and Virginia Cities
sent several wagons, loaded with provisions
and clothing; to their assistance. The Territorial Enterprise, ot Sept. 14th, says :
The ¢lothing ‘of the women and children
was in 4 miserable condition, affording them
little or no protection, and in many instances
the women were compelled to use a portion .
of their thick clothing in making a covering
for their feet. On their arrival at Ragtown’
they were nearly out ef provisions, and af»
ter attempting to get some, in which they
failed, they sat down to an insufficient meal,
when their eyes were greeted with the sight
of the three wagons of provisions kindly sent
forward from this city and Carson for them.
The party-“arrived at Fort Churchill on
Monday last, where they were aided by the
Celonel.
The Captain says his wife walked across
the forty mile desert in one night. He says
he was igforméd by a min who had been offered an inducement to_join them, that the.

band of Bannock Indians. The stock, he
supposes, has been taken to Deer Lodge,
Washington Territory.
tH The Yreka Journal says the Nez
Perce tever has broken out afresh in that
‘county, and the excitement is greater than
it ever has been: Men-are leaving eVéry day,
and others are preparing to go as soen as
possible. The Journal states that the whites
in the Nez Perce country are on the .eve of
& sanginuary war with the Indians, who are
vety numerous in that Territory.

To Drive Away Mosquiros.—Camphor
is the most powerful agent. A camphor bag
hung up in a open casement witl prove an
effectual barner to their entrance. Camphorated spirit apphed as perfume to the
hands and face will act as an éffectual preventive ; but when bitten by them, aromati¢ vinegar is the best antidote.

A Nose Cook.—Udo von Keller, a German of a noble family, dissipated in his hab[
ite, and of late a.cook by occupation, was
killed last Thursday, in Columbia by a fire
engine, which ran over him. His friends offered him money and besought him to return
home, but he preferred poverty and independence.
——
No MaTTerR Now.—A party of belated
gentlemen about a certain hour began to
think of home, and their wives’ displeasure,
and urged a departure. ‘‘Never mind,” said
one of the guests, ‘fifteen minutes now will
make no difference ; my wife is as mad now
as she can be.”
>
A NoTiceaBLe Emicxant Tratn.—The
train of Moses and Buttrich, which left Ilinois April 28th, arrived at Washoe Valley,
last-week. It consists of 47 men, 12 women,
6 children; 21 wagons and 114 horses. The
horses were bought in Illinois for $30,370.

te The increase of $4 per month in the
pay of soldiers, sailors, and marines, authorized by Congress, will increase the expense
on & force, of 300,000. men $7,000,000 per
annum, or on 500,000 men $12,000,000.
There is no increase of officers’ pay.
KILLED BY Is Hoxse.—Mr. D. McPherson was thrown from his horse, recently, in
Sonoma county and having been dragged
a long distance, was killed. He had imprudently tied the halter-rope round his wrist.
Retorwep.—Zack Montgomery, who recently went to the East to see among other
objects the famous Montgomery of Kansas,
has returned. The parties did not meet.
KILLiNG IN BuTTe.—The Record states
that a murder was committed at Floyd's
store, on the Hencut, in Butte county, on
Wednesday last. One Florence Sullivan
was shot in the breast and killed by Dennis
Murphy. a

details of Eastern news states that the Secretary of the Treasury is gratified to know
that the suecess of the National loan does
not depend upon bank corporations, but
that the people alone‘are able and willing to
subseribe the money needed. It will satisfy the public, and increase public confidence in the Government, to state. that the .
Attorney General has declared that the loan
is not taxable either by State or local auities. We observe that $135,000 of the loan
