. The Morning Transcript. NEVADA CITY. e ~~ PRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 26th. “BY THEIR FRUITS SHALL YE KNOW THEM.” — oY The late élection, whatever else “#4 has settled, has. settled the question between . Union and Secession in California.’ Full _ seventy-five’ per cent. of the voters of this ,State—supposing that Stanford and‘Conness received the suffrages of the Unionists and ~.” MeCoennell_ those of the Secessionists—have. unequivocally pronounced in favor of reintegrating the Republic. “This is the showing given us by the partisan press of the State ; but we have reasun to believe that -the per centage in favor of the Union is very much higher. Mr. McConnell was ypt a Seces_gion candidate, although Secessionists voted for him; for, on several occasions, previous to the election, he gave, in apeeches, in letters, and in telegrams, the most solemn assurances of his devotion to-the Union; and, of course, hundreds and thousands of staunch “tt njonists voted for him. The only real issue, betwesir himapd his two competitors, was as to the-war policy of the Federal Governinent. He was in favor of reconstructing the Union through conciliation and compro‘mise, and not by coercion, while his antagoniste were, or were supposed to be, the representatives and exponents of the coercive principle. It is, therefore, exceedingly unfair to regard the voters for McConnell as a compact body of Disunionists. Be all this as it may, one thing is incontrovertible, and that is, that California is emphatically in favor of the Umion, and of the coercive measures adopted by the Federal Goverment for its reconstruction. The Government of the State, in January next, will pass into the hands of the Republicans—who, par excellence, are the very ne plus ultra of Unionism—and there is no doubt that they will carry. out what they have reason to regard as the expressed will of our people, to the letter. j The Legislature, according to the best authority, will be strongly Republican. The Senate will be composed of seventeen Republicans, sixteen Union or Douglas Demoerats, and seven Breckinridge Democrats ; while in the Assembly, the Republicans will /_______have an overwhelming majority. The Governor and all the State Officers will be Re~ publican; and=thus the State, whether for weal or woe. is about to fall into the hands of a party, which, six years ugo, was considered so weak and hopeless that the Ancient Democracy used it, as Brutus did Cassius, for their mirth, yea for their laughter. How strangely ‘the whirlgig of Time brings about his revenges!’’ The Republieans are the dominant power in the land— there is no mistake about that—and by a most clear and emphatic expression of the popular will. : There are some Democratic editors, of both wings of that party, who appear disposed to doubt the trath and sanctity of the vox populi vox Dei doctrine, and persist in _ denying that, in giving the State to the Republicans, the ‘voice of the people was the voice of God.” They go further ; and, without waiting te see what the recently elected officiala intend to do, wage a furious war upon them in advance. They accuse them of all manner of contemplated wickedness, and condemn them for an infinity of foul deeds to be perpetrated hereafter. The San Francisco Herald charges“ the Republicans *with the stupendously gross crime of designing to, rude or ruin the State. In our view there is a vast lack of honest logic in such partisan verbidge. Under our popular form of government ‘the majority always rules ; therefore, the Republicans, being the mojority, must, of necessity, rude, unless their elected officials and exponents prove recreant to the trust confided in them through the ballot-box. It is scarcely to be expected that Mr. Stanford and his Republican compeers will yield the seats of power, which a powertul majority has given them, to their proatrate autagonists. There is no such * a + Rep ene Common . decency. and test the fruits of these Ling bim in the breast. gublitiely ridiculous magnanimity in these practical times. And why should the Republicans, now that they are about to rule the State, entertain a design torwin it. The ublicans -have brains as well as their ies, and why should they ruin the State, when, in doing 80, they must ruin themselves? : and common . justice would dictate that it will be time enough to sit in judgment on the incoming order of things ‘alter its inauguration. “ By their fruits shall ye know them ;" and. it is the F of wisdom, as well as of manly equity, eT ubliInpiss Fire Hunts in: Wasnoe.—The . Territorial Enterprise, of September 7th, says: The motintains to the south and east are’ envel in emoke, which proceeds from the fires the Indians annually kindle during their fall hunts. Their manner of conducting these. hunts is to set firé to about two-thirds of a circle embtacing many miles, and drive the antelope, rabbits, sage hens, and all kinds of game into a smal] compass, when their capture is easily effected. The amount of io captured at a single hunt ig almost incredible. At a hunt which came off in 1859, on the East Walker, under the administration 6f . Capt."Truckee, 205 antelope, besides “an_incalculable amount of small game, were secured. The Indians dry the meat of the larger game, which, with pine nuts, the seeds of different grasses and roots, constitute their winter provender. They complain much of the whites cutting down their pine trees ; but the scrub pines, which bear the nuts, make an excellent article of fuel, and the whites pay little heed to the rethonstrances of the aborigines. ~ ; i Fish Svory.—The Stockton <Argus. is responsible for the following: “a On Wednesday night while the steamer.

ScoTtT AND MCCLELI.AN.—A Washington correspondent of the Springfield Republican says: General Scott and General McClellan seem to work well together. I know one thing— that McClellan has his way. General Scott is great enough to appreciate the ability and services of his subordinate, and MeClellan is modest enough not te offend the Generalin-Chief.

Srricr.—The General Order issued by Adjutant General ‘Thomas, calling attention to the 57th Article of the Act passed for the government of the Armies of the United States, has a more sweeping application than id generally supposed ; it is intended to apply to all persons, buth in and out of the army, and to newspapers and elsewhere ‘through the North. Itis intended to prohibit the publication of movements connected with the raising of troops, the prepara. tion of munitions of war, the transportation of men and the fitting out of vessels. Jie ge tw We are indebted to the Marysville Appeal for reminding us that Mr Shields, of the firm of Stokes and Shiclds, the accomplished hosts of the U.S. Hotel, initiated and perfected the parterre adornments around the Paviliou in Cortez Square.

V. M:,” and who writes from Salt Lake-City, under date of Aug. 31st, thus speaks of the Plaeerville road, over which he had just traveled in the overland mail wagon: . From Placerville the road across the mountains is a wonderful piece of engineering iskill, and as roth as it is wonderful. . The passenger is jogged, jolted, humped, thumped, ghaken and tossed with reckless impunity. His baptirm tothe fatigues of the journey is not by sprinkling ; itis-a-regular dip, over head. When he starts, perhaps he fondly stretch himself upon the seat when night comes, and sleep. But the travel to Washoe is so great that there were nine passengers in the stage in which I left Placereille. So three things conspiree against sleep—the sitting posture, the jolting, and the cold. > Union Tack in OLD Kentucky.—The National Union, published at Winchester, Kentucky, calls the. rebel success at Bull Run “the great diaunion crime at M :nassas,” and adds: He whe will now falter or fail to come out full and uneonditional for the Union is awretch—not worthy to_associate with men, but wortby to herd with Devils.—Letthe nen of the loyal States swear before high Heaven that every dollar of money in the treasury—every man who can carry a gun, shall be freely given to uphold the Govertment. All Be of a compromise is now to be deemed -base—it is to be scouted as dishonorable. There is but one way in which this infernal conspiracy against our Government, against our liberty, against all-on eartn that we hold dear, can be quelled; it is for loyal men everywhere to do all in their power to crush it. {3 The Napa Keho.says: Accounts hate been received here, and we have read a letter relative to Ab. Elliott, of Clear Lake, who was reported as killed some sixteew months ago, in Washoe, with Major Ormsby. The writer says, Elliott was wounded in three places, and made prisoner by the Indians; that he-recovered from his wounds and was sent by his eaptors to another part of the ceuntry ; that he escaped und made his way back to Washoe, and had started for home when he heard his wife was married, and turned back intending to go tothe mountains or Salt Lake. Elliott’s estate has been administered-epov, and his wife has married again. His father and brother, satisfied of the truth of the story, have gone to Washoe itmsearch of him. oe ee es, Pony Express.—The last out-going Pony took about 300 letters. departure of the Pony from St. Joseph_for California has been set back twenty-four hours, so that the news, which ender the old arrangement was due on Monday and Friday of each week, now falls due at the end. of the telegraph line on Tuesday and Saturday. — STAGHOKN CHatks.—Seth Kinman, the well Known motntaineer, and the same whe presented President Buchanan with a chair unde of deer horns,retyrned to San Francisco on Sunday last on the steamer Columbta. He is on his way to France to present a similar chair to Louis Napoleen, after being exhibited at the Sacramento Fair. oe H1iGu §8 RANK.—Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck, of San Francisco, has received his appointment as Major General in the regular army of the United States’ On Tuesday morning he took the vath of office, and ‘will go East by the steamer of October Ist to join Gen. McClellan's army. He graduated at 1839. oar toe this lady—the exquisite Irish cantatrice who delighted us all so much in 1853—is annoanced in the New York papers. She was an exeeHent woman: and, sé an artiste, musical critics placed her next in rank to Jenny Lind.

There are now two dailes in Washoe. =n ae YeastT.—It is stated that peach leaves used in the same wuy ax hops, make excellent bread. They may be used fresh from tle supply should be picked and dried before frost comes. te The marketmen and merchants of San Francisco send contributions of fruit, vegetables, butter cheese, etc., to the volunseers at Camp* Downey. Joun BULL CIVviL.—Minister. Adams writes that he does not think the British Government contemplates any change in posume; hage been cleaned out ere this. for a-short-time. --There were no troopson_ ‘in the Missouri department, C. F. Jackson is The cvnion anys the J West Point in the corps of Engineers in July . DeatH or Kare Hayes.—The death of FienpisH.—The mode of warfare practiced by the Secessionists of Missouri, is a disgrace evento Barbarism. Trains of cars have been fired inte at different times, and the latest news is that an attempt was made . . to blow up the train for Rolla. A keg of powder. was placed under the track, and percussion caps laid along the rail. When the train came along, a tremendous “explosion ensued. The engine was lifted up from the trick, and the engineer thrown up several feet into the air. Forfunately, no damag= was done beyond the detention of ‘the train board the train—nobody but innocent women and children, fleeing front’ the outrages of the invaders. Such diabolical outrages are not surpassed in barbarity by any race of people on the earth.te The Folsom’ Telegraph, of Sept.17th, sayr :—We conversed yesterday with a gentleman who arrived a few days since from Missouri. He damns Fremont—ands Claib Jackson, and says that Gamble “Ought to entary commander for the general government’ the secession governor and Gamble isthe Union governor elected in Jackson's absence-in quest of rebel assistants from other States. Gamble is ademocrat and dislikes Fremont who is a republican sand the unpleasant feelings between them have created a contemptible conflict in the Union cause, favorable alike to Jackson and secession.

So three things conspiree against sleep—the sitting posture, the jolting, and the cold. > Union Tack in OLD Kentucky.—The National Union, published at Winchester, Kentucky, calls the. rebel success at Bull Run “the great diaunion crime at M :nassas,” and adds: He whe will now falter or fail to come out full and uneonditional for the Union is awretch—not worthy to_associate with men, but wortby to herd with Devils.—Letthe nen of the loyal States swear before high Heaven that every dollar of money in the treasury—every man who can carry a gun, shall be freely given to uphold the Govertment. All Be of a compromise is now to be deemed -base—it is to be scouted as dishonorable. There is but one way in which this infernal conspiracy against our Government, against our liberty, against all-on eartn that we hold dear, can be quelled; it is for loyal men everywhere to do all in their power to crush it. {3 The Napa Keho.says: Accounts hate been received here, and we have read a letter relative to Ab. Elliott, of Clear Lake, who was reported as killed some sixteew months ago, in Washoe, with Major Ormsby. The writer says, Elliott was wounded in three places, and made prisoner by the Indians; that he-recovered from his wounds and was sent by his eaptors to another part of the ceuntry ; that he escaped und made his way back to Washoe, and had started for home when he heard his wife was married, and turned back intending to go tothe mountains or Salt Lake. Elliott’s estate has been administered-epov, and his wife has married again. His father and brother, satisfied of the truth of the story, have gone to Washoe itmsearch of him. oe ee es, Pony Express.—The last out-going Pony took about 300 letters. departure of the Pony from St. Joseph_for California has been set back twenty-four hours, so that the news, which ender the old arrangement was due on Monday and Friday of each week, now falls due at the end. of the telegraph line on Tuesday and Saturday. — STAGHOKN CHatks.—Seth Kinman, the well Known motntaineer, and the same whe presented President Buchanan with a chair unde of deer horns,retyrned to San Francisco on Sunday last on the steamer Columbta. He is on his way to France to present a similar chair to Louis Napoleen, after being exhibited at the Sacramento Fair. oe H1iGu §8 RANK.—Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck, of San Francisco, has received his appointment as Major General in the regular army of the United States’ On Tuesday morning he took the vath of office, and ‘will go East by the steamer of October Ist to join Gen. McClellan's army. He graduated at 1839. oar toe this lady—the exquisite Irish cantatrice who delighted us all so much in 1853—is annoanced in the New York papers. She was an exeeHent woman: and, sé an artiste, musical critics placed her next in rank to Jenny Lind. Dailies IN Wasuor.—The Terruorial Enterprise, published at Virginia City, Nevada Territory, is to be issued daily hereafter. lt was a weekly heretofore. There are now two dailes in Washoe. =n ae YeastT.—It is stated that peach leaves used in the same wuy ax hops, make excellent bread.

DeatH or Kare Hayes.—The death of FienpisH.—The mode of warfare practiced by the Secessionists of Missouri, is a disgrace evento Barbarism. Trains of cars have been fired inte at different times, and the latest news is that an attempt was made . . to blow up the train for Rolla. A keg of powder. was placed under the track, and percussion caps laid along the rail. When the train came along, a tremendous “explosion ensued. The engine was lifted up from the trick, and the engineer thrown up several feet into the air. Forfunately, no damag= was done beyond the detention of ‘the train board the train—nobody but innocent women and children, fleeing front’ the outrages of the invaders. Such diabolical outrages are not surpassed in barbarity by any race of people on the earth.te The Folsom’ Telegraph, of Sept.17th, sayr :—We conversed yesterday with a gentleman who arrived a few days since from Missouri. He damns Fremont—ands Claib Jackson, and says that Gamble “Ought to entary commander for the general government’ the secession governor and Gamble isthe Union governor elected in Jackson's absence-in quest of rebel assistants from other States. Gamble is ademocrat and dislikes Fremont who is a republican sand the unpleasant feelings between them have created a contemptible conflict in the Union cause, favorable alike to Jackson and secession.
