he Office, No. 36 Commercial street. — a od TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 34. ‘s THE ELECTION: : The hopes and fears of a vast host of can~ didates, and the hangers-on, of candidates, will receive their quietus to-morrow. It is dreadful thing to be # candidate. Between the day of his nomination and the day of the ‘ election he is the victim of a feverish anxiety, not. much less awfnl: than that. which haunts the dreams\and poisons the wakitiy hours of ‘the criminal who awaits his trial. The defeated candidate is a poor devil, more often berated and snubbed than ‘pitied. and comforted, and Shakespeare has made Cardinal Wolsey draw a striking picture of him, in commenting on the herrors of his own downfall: 4s G, how wretched is that poor.man, that hangs on voters’ favors !’’ ‘To-morrow, as there are three party tickets in the field, it is not presumptuous to prediet that the proportion of defeated candi_.dutes to the successful ones will be as two to one. ‘Thus, while one human, being will be inade happy, two other human beings will be made miserable. It will be with a. sad, rather. than « joyous, feéling we shall meet and congratulate our lucky friends; for the painful conviction will continually force itself upon us that the good luck of each friend has been a stroke of terrible -ill-luck to two others. Well, we have the consola — tion of knowing that we have had nothing to do with the party nominations; and, when we come to think the matter over philosophically, we can.not well perceive that either the lueky or the unlucky candidates have any special elaims on either our congratulations or condolements. ‘Therefore, let tomorrow go as it muy, we shall reserve our _ sentimentality aud sympathy for some other and more urgent occasion. As to the political preferences and professions of the men who are -now before the public, as aspirants for office, we care but ‘little, Beeause such preferences and professions are but little better than claptrap, to gull the multitude, aud furnish no index of intellect and integrity. Our public servants ought td be men fully capable of performing the services required of them, and sufficiently honest and conscientious to forbid any suspicion of « betrayal of trusf. Such men ean be found, scattered over the three tickets with which partyism has favored us. It is ~ our intention to vote for those candidates, on whatever ticket we may find them, whose daily walk: and conversation givd. the best assurance that, if elected, the duties of their offices will be competently and faithfully executed. A Voice From MeConneLL.—On the 30th ult., J. R. McConnell; Democratic candidate for Governor, being then at Forest City, received a telegraphic dispatch from A. P, Crittenden, of San Franciseo, requesting him to deelare his real sentiments in regard to the Secession of California from the Union, and whether, if elected, he would promptly obey requisitions of the Federal Government for troops. To this, on the _ same day, Mr. McConnell replied, and his reply is published in last Saturday's Sacramento Uniow, as an advertisement. Here it is: Forest Ciry, August 30, 1861. To. A. P. Crirrenpen—Sir: I am opoged to' Secession in‘theory and in practice. ; or emg opposed te the Secession of Culifornia: our destiny is, in my opinion, with the Union, and oer future prospects und happiness depend, in a great measure, _ wpon preserving our connection with it. I will promptly, if elected Governor, obdy any requisition the Federal Goverament may make upon me. However strongly I may dissent from -the policy iereol: will not rmit my notions of policy to interfere in the slightest “ys Sens my obligations to perform any legal duty under the Constitution and laws of the Federal Government. JOHN R. McCONNELL. KENTUCKY For ‘THE UNton.—If the last. Pony is to be believed, the Legislature of Kentucky, recently elected, is overwhelmingly in faver of presetving. the Union. 'The Senate stands thirty to eight, and the House eighty to twenty against Secession. This is ~ @ position worthy of gallant Old Kaintuck. All her “Congressmen, but one, are for the £3 In the free States there are 3,778,000 white males between the ages of 18 and 45 ; in the slave-holding States, 1,667,000. } for interior towns. THE NEVADA GAS WORKS. a These works are erected at the intersection of Main aml Washington streets, on the lot formerly occupied by the old Frisbie Hotel and Theatre. They are 140 feet front on Washington street, and extending back nearly 200 feet. The buildings consist of a brick, 60 feet long by about 35 deep, containing the office, workshop, purifying and condensing room, also.the retort house and the dwelling house for the employees of the company: : : , Attached to the brick building is a shed, designed for storing wood and coal, (of which the company already have “a large supply) some 60 feet long by 30 wide. In the rear of all is the ‘‘ Gasometer,” of about 8,000 cubic. feet capacity; and with the benches already built, the works are capable of, furnishing 1600 cubie feet of gas daily. The present consuniption is from 4,000 to 6,000 feet, with .& rapid increase. A ; Our citizens find gas a great improvement on the old style of lighting, with camphene and oil, as it. is not only much mere convenient and fully as cheap, but adds to the security against aecidents by fire. The works were erected-and sare owned by an incorporated cotapany, with a capital of $30,000, aud managed by three Directors, consisting of J. C. Birdseye, of this city, and ©. H. Simpkins and A. Pierce, of the Marysville Gas Works. The company are in prosperous condition, as, although in operation ‘but two weeks, their register already shows the names of about seventy-five of our principal business firms, hotels and saloon proprietors. The gas is manufactured of coal and wood, and is of a quality fully equal to that of any of the lower cities. We hope to soon see the streets in a blaze of glory, from these gas works, for the more light the less the deeds of evil. VOLUNTEERING.—The Cavairy Regiment jis being rapidly enrolled and will soon be orgunized and ready to take the field. The infautry. regiments are in process of creation, but there is not such a rush to fill their ranks asin the case of the cavalry. The recruit{. ing business may become more lively after the election, especially if the present slack times in the mines should be prolonged.— There is a very fine camping ground provided for the'troops, as fast as enrolled and mustered in companies, at Sin Antonio, not far from San Francisco. Here they enter, at 6nce, upon a busy course of drill and are soon polished into superb soldiers. The field officers of all the regiments, it is understood, will be regularly educated military men. CuTTON GROWING IN NICARAGUA.—We learn from Nicarauga that the subject of, growing cotton in that State, is creating’ much excitement there, that a large quantity wilt be planted this year, and that one steam cotton gin is already at work. Sa ee Ee ees Texas.—An extra of the Houston Tele graph reports a fight on the 25th of July between Col. Baylor's command and Federal troops, at Fort Filmore, resulting in the defeat of the latter, with thirty killed and wounded—two Lieutenants killed ; Southerners unhurt. ‘The Federals fled and were pursued, and the whole command taken prisoners-—-500 in number. DESTRUCTION OF THE VILLAGE AT Sourn west Pass.—For fear. the United States Government should entertain the idea of establishing custom houses_on shore at Southwest Pass, the Algerine Newsboy rec: ommends the destraction of thé pleasant village at that place. The New Orleans Picayune says the burning of Moscow saved the Russian empire but doubts very much if the puiling down of houses at the Pass would prevent the Federal forces establishing themszives at that place. Hayvtt.—The war between Hayti_ and Spain is now atan end. The difficulty between-the two couutries being amicably arranged, the Domincian arwies have returned to the frontiers. . A-decree has been issued by the Spanish authorities, declaring slavery forever abolished there, and any person interforing with it will be considered liable, under the conspirators’ xct. Emigration from the United States is particularly desired, the government offering as an inducement tracts of land, and insuring all emigrants, so accepting the terms, protection. te The State of Georgia has furnished 14,000 soldiers for. this war, besides 4 reat ment of regulars, and has now 11,000 oa ready to be sent off whenever called Sets he Fousom.—The Te raph says th last week, it counted t Js ae wnt peeaiaons on one block(in that’place, taking on freight eee tietareneieoad SENATOR McDoucaLt.—The New York Tribune of August-8th, received by Pony ‘Express, thus speaks of our California. SenaAt the close of the short but eventful extra session of Congress, in which there has been so much fo commend, we feel that special bonor is due to the patriotic Senators from California, and particularly to Gen. McDougall,of whom we had expected much, but who has more than realtzed the best exctations of his friends and of the country. fie has, throughout the se¢sion, maintained a foremost position in the front rank of the defenders of the Union, the Constitution and the Government. He has actively and unflinchingly supported every measure designed to vigorously prosecute the-war and suppress the rebellion, and has heen unsparing in his denunciation of these professed Unionists who * palter in a doublé sense,” and talk of compromise and concession while they pretend to oppose Southern usurpation. As the successor of the miserable doughface Gwin, the patriotiam of McDougall is doubly admirable. Though one of the youngest in tie ‘sisterhood of States, California rivals even Massachusetts in devotion to the Union. eg ANOTHER WARNING. — The (Ga.) News of # late date says: The shortest path to peace is that. which carries havoc and desolation to our invaders. It is believed that there are five or ten thousand men in the South, ready and willing to share the fate of Curtius, and devote themselves to the salvation of their country. It is proposed that all who are willing to make this sacrifice shall armthemselves with a sword, two five shooters and a carbine each, atid ‘meet on horseback, af some place to be desiguated, convenient for the great werk in hand. Fire and sword must be carried to the dwellings of these who are visiting these blessings upon their neighbors. Philadelphia, und even New York, are not beyond the reach of along and brave arm? The people of these cities cannyt he better taught the virtues of invasion than by the blazing light of their own dwellings None need apply for admission te the ‘‘Devoted Band” but those who are prepared to take their life in their hand and who would indulge not the least expectation ef ever returning. They dedicate their lives to the deSavannah letter to the Times, Russell wrote : “The party of action ‘are gaining ground, and Gen. Seott will be foreed to move onward, though he will do as little as he can, till he is ready tor decisive work. Still, these movements will amuse the public, and may possibly produce seme actions of greater importance than it is intended. It does not appear to me that Beauregard will be directly attacked at Manassas. ‘The real base of operations is from Fortress Monroe and Hampton on Riehmond. Of this more by and by.» Civilians and military are, of course, divided in council. The former are for immediate action; they want to walk without legs.” a Gov. SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, who displayed so much gallantry at Bull's Run, in command of thé Rhode Island troops, at the opening of the legislative session of his State, made a speech, in which he thus coinplimented the Confederates: ‘“We were under the impression that they were lacking the resources which gu to raise aud maintain armies ; whereas, in almost every particwlar, we have found them superior to ourselves; we have found not on: only the physique of their, men equal to ours, but their clothing, their arms,. their subsistence and their means of transportation—everything that goes to make up military efficiency—superior to ours.” icitest sek ae IntsH Loyatty.—The following from the San Francisco Monitor, speaks volumes for the valor and loyalty of righ Americans: There are now in the field the followitg purely Irish American regiments in the service of the United States: Three from. New York. two from Massachusetts, tio from Pennsylvama, two from Hlinois, and one frow Wisconsin It is estimat€d that’al least onethird of the soldiers in the army at present are of Irish birth. . t-* Eugene Casserly of San Francisco has written a letter to fis friends throughout the State, vindicating the Administration and advising them to vote against the McConnell ticket. [#° Spurgeon sometinies comes out with a-good thing: “* Brethren,” said he, “if God had referred the Ark toa committee on naval affairs, it’s my opinion it woukin’t have been built yet.” Tue Rien? Srmeir.—Hon. Pau! Dillingham declines the Democratic nomination for Governor of . Vermout, because he hag neo heart for a party contest new, at a time when patriots should give all their milividual attention to the country. He says he will not cousent now to recognize old party line’, or to be instrumental in having old political distinctions remembered—hard as it may be te forget the differences of a life-time. tw'The New Orleans papérs says that there were fund one morning placards pested about the streets of that dty on which were printed these words ;—‘‘ Abraham Lincoin and plenty to eat; Jeff.

Teo the People of Grass Valley and ; Nevada, 1 have been running a line of stages into your towns since the first of June, thereby reducing the fare to Marysville from six dollars to three. My little quill wheel opposition caused the fare hetween your towns and Sacramento to be reduced-from ten to seven dollars. I have. never callcd on your patronage, as I could do well hauling fruit and you could do well riding with the California Stage Company for one dollar, which company, I hope, gave you good satisfaction, espécially that portion of you Who were liberal enough to pay me two dollars and ride;with that I now ask you to consider my case and ride with me, or pay me sufficiently, and you can always ride to Marysville for three dollars, I do not intend to lose any moncy running stages for any community ; . worked for my money and I do intend to keep it. It is better for you to try and pay me to keep the fare to a reasonable price at all times than’to pay one dollar to-day and have six dollars imposed on you to-morrow. I shall stock the road from. Marysville to Sacramento on the 10th of September next, and then I will take you through from Nevada to’ Sacra_ mento for six dollars; but without your good will and some of your money, I cannot stay with you.

As the successor of the miserable doughface Gwin, the patriotiam of McDougall is doubly admirable. Though one of the youngest in tie ‘sisterhood of States, California rivals even Massachusetts in devotion to the Union. eg ANOTHER WARNING. — The (Ga.) News of # late date says: The shortest path to peace is that. which carries havoc and desolation to our invaders. It is believed that there are five or ten thousand men in the South, ready and willing to share the fate of Curtius, and devote themselves to the salvation of their country. It is proposed that all who are willing to make this sacrifice shall armthemselves with a sword, two five shooters and a carbine each, atid ‘meet on horseback, af some place to be desiguated, convenient for the great werk in hand. Fire and sword must be carried to the dwellings of these who are visiting these blessings upon their neighbors. Philadelphia, und even New York, are not beyond the reach of along and brave arm? The people of these cities cannyt he better taught the virtues of invasion than by the blazing light of their own dwellings None need apply for admission te the ‘‘Devoted Band” but those who are prepared to take their life in their hand and who would indulge not the least expectation ef ever returning. They dedicate their lives to the deSavannah letter to the Times, Russell wrote : “The party of action ‘are gaining ground, and Gen. Seott will be foreed to move onward, though he will do as little as he can, till he is ready tor decisive work. Still, these movements will amuse the public, and may possibly produce seme actions of greater importance than it is intended. It does not appear to me that Beauregard will be directly attacked at Manassas. ‘The real base of operations is from Fortress Monroe and Hampton on Riehmond. Of this more by and by.» Civilians and military are, of course, divided in council. The former are for immediate action; they want to walk without legs.” a Gov. SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, who displayed so much gallantry at Bull's Run, in command of thé Rhode Island troops, at the opening of the legislative session of his State, made a speech, in which he thus coinplimented the Confederates: ‘“We were under the impression that they were lacking the resources which gu to raise aud maintain armies ; whereas, in almost every particwlar, we have found them superior to ourselves; we have found not on: only the physique of their, men equal to ours, but their clothing, their arms,. their subsistence and their means of transportation—everything that goes to make up military efficiency—superior to ours.” icitest sek ae IntsH Loyatty.—The following from the San Francisco Monitor, speaks volumes for the valor and loyalty of righ Americans: There are now in the field the followitg purely Irish American regiments in the service of the United States: Three from. New York. two from Massachusetts, tio from Pennsylvama, two from Hlinois, and one frow Wisconsin It is estimat€d that’al least onethird of the soldiers in the army at present are of Irish birth. . t-* Eugene Casserly of San Francisco has written a letter to fis friends throughout the State, vindicating the Administration and advising them to vote against the McConnell ticket.

Srmeir.—Hon. Pau! Dillingham declines the Democratic nomination for Governor of . Vermout, because he hag neo heart for a party contest new, at a time when patriots should give all their milividual attention to the country. He says he will not cousent now to recognize old party line’, or to be instrumental in having old political distinctions remembered—hard as it may be te forget the differences of a life-time. tw'The New Orleans papérs says that there were fund one morning placards pested about the streets of that dty on which were printed these words ;—‘‘ Abraham Lincoin and plenty to eat; Jeff.

Teo the People of Grass Valley and ; Nevada, 1 have been running a line of stages into your towns since the first of June, thereby reducing the fare to Marysville from six dollars to three. My little quill wheel opposition caused the fare hetween your towns and Sacramento to be reduced-from ten to seven dollars. I have. never callcd on your patronage, as I could do well hauling fruit and you could do well riding with the California Stage Company for one dollar, which company, I hope, gave you good satisfaction, espécially that portion of you Who were liberal enough to pay me two dollars and ride;with that I now ask you to consider my case and ride with me, or pay me sufficiently, and you can always ride to Marysville for three dollars, I do not intend to lose any moncy running stages for any community ; . worked for my money and I do intend to keep it. It is better for you to try and pay me to keep the fare to a reasonable price at all times than’to pay one dollar to-day and have six dollars imposed on you to-morrow. I shall stock the road from. Marysville to Sacramento on the 10th of September next, and then I will take you through from Nevada to’ Sacra_ mento for six dollars; but without your good will and some of your money, I cannot stay with you.
