. NEVADA Crrye. MORNING, SEPT. 18th. r 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. ‘the Philadelphia. Inquirer, which goes to has taken Frederi¢k the Great and Harroun al Raschid for his models. [It seems he visits the encampments along the Potomac . m plain citizen dress, without the encumbrance of a suite, and thus, incognito, sees sealed books to him in his official toggery. 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 to the tune of the-‘‘ Rogue’s March,” played by some of the boys who had got wind of it. 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. i &¥" The British Flag, on Telegraph Hill, San Francisco, was hung at half-mast on and learns many things, which would be They now have a quartermaster who does . 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. attacking party was composed of white ranch. ers from Calitornia and Missouri, beading a 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. ite 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 ‘ 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 Ee Italy is ‘being rapidly Protestanized since the revolution. Protestant Bibles are plentifully distributed, together with other bvoks on Protestant doctrines. Tue CATHEDRAL OF CuLOGNE.—The Cathedral of Cologne was finished on the first week of August ‘last. This is one of the largest and most splendid buildings in the world. It was commenced in the year ———— Nez Perce Mines.—The last shipment of dust from these mines was $70,000. For BrowxLow.—Over $1100 have been collected in San Francigco for Parsoa ‘large . ‘Tae Naviowa, Loaw.—An item in the 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 had beensubseribed at Philadelphla, iv one. day. ie A wellknown music dealer on Broadway, New York,.whose store has been pulleddown to make way for an ‘improvement, has posted on a pile of bricks opposite his late place of business—‘‘Gone to_a better place 1 above”—giving the number. There are one or two more stores on’ Broadway where a
simple placard “Gone up,” would fell the whole story. A REVEREND BEEKEEPER.—Rev.
