THE COLUMBUS CoNTRACT.--Readers of congress
sonal debates may remember that at the close of
the last session when the appropriation bill was
under consideration in the Senate it was moved to
insert an appropriation of Sll3,OOO for the pay
ment of the steamer Columbus, chartered by the
United States of the Pacific Steamship Company.
1t may also be remembered that when Mr.. Benja-
min, of Louisiana, denomnated the bill exorbitant
and fraudulent on its face, Mr. Gwin passed his
word as Senator that the charges vera fair, and
not at all extravagant
There are facts connected with this Columbus
contract it behooves the public, as well the Navy
Department and Congress- to understand The
Columbus was chartered of the Pacific Steamship
Company for the purpose of being used the
Lower California coast to prevent any violation of
the neutrality law. She was employed under GER
tain orders sent out through Purser Levi d. Samm
to the Commander of the Portsmouth, and it was
agreed to pay the owners $500 day for her use.
At the time this contract made, there was
Navy agent at San Francisco enjoying the fullest
confidence of the Department and of the Govern
ment. But Purser Slanm did not consult the Navy
Agent in relation to this Columbus contract. He
probably feared lest the well known honesty and
integrity of Mr.. Ashe would not approve the price
to be paid for the steamer. 1t is well known that
steamer could be readily had for third, if not
oneffth, of the price paid for the Columbus; and
the conscientious Purser probably anticipated that
the Navy Agent might be foolish as to refuse to
forward his own interests and those of his friends
at the expense of the Government.
Whilst this very contract was being made by
Mr.. Slamm, Captain J. T. Wright had offered to
furnish suitable steamer at the rate of 500 per
day. Why, then, was the government saddled
with an extra $1,000 a day in the shape of the Co.
lumbuS contract Above all, how could Senator
Gwin rise in his place and vouch for the correct
ness of the Columbus contract on his faith a Sen
ator and man! Is there any virtue in the Pacific
Steamship Company which should entitle it to
bonus of $1,000 day at the hands of the Govern
ment Is the mail contracti it has, not sufficient to
satisfy the NAV of this vast and ravenous monopo-
| ly? Or, like the harpes at the feast of Eneas,
will it not be satisfied until it has swept the tables
and devoured all the savoury dishes
The Co!unbuS contract was fit diversion in tho
midst of the other engagements of Purser Levi D.
Samm. AS large proportion of his time in Cali
forna engaged in spreading false reports of the
peninsular invaders, it meet and proper for
him to turn from such employments to the equally
honest occupation of defraudng the Government.
Nor was it at all inappropriate for DR.. Gwin after
saying his constituents should be detained from ma
rauding expeditions by strong naval force, to en-
dorse the Columbus contract on his honor as a SEN
ator and q man.--Sate Journal.

CAucUs.-The Gwinites are crying for caucus.
In the agony of their souls they pray for it as the
sole means for their salvation Their anguish is
unutterable lest caucus may be defeated and thus
the great Senatorial preender be rretrievably ruin
ed
Their sweet voices have changed since June last.
FIVE mistake not the Gwintes claim the last coun-
ty convention of Tuolumne a collection of their
friends 1t is supposed that all the members of the
Legislature nominated by that convention and cleo
ted by the people, are favorable to the reelection
of DR.. Gwn. Yet at that convention a resolution
instructing the nominees to support the action OF
all caucuses of the Democratic party was voted
down By what miracle hath this change been
wrought? By what strange power OF logic have
the convictions of the Gwinites been SO radically
modified
The new converts to caucus are wonderfully
Jealous They prate of the necessity for union and
harmony They forget the diatribes of last winter
They ignore the denuncations of the past summcr.
Ali for the cause and nothing for men" is the hy-
pocritical cant with which they greet the ears
of their quondAm opponents. They call on the men
they have denounced as rebels and traitors, to bury
the hatchet and submit to their imperial will
Verify the way of the transgressor is bard as the
Gwntes may find before they get through with
caucus.--State Journal.

GENERAL WooL.--The Administration fearful
that it could not otherwise sink itself beneath the
contempt of the whole American people has called
to its aid the Washington Union to illuminate SLAM
ders against Gen. Wool. Gen. Wool has spent
many years IN the service of his country, is of
the veteran officers whose conduct will be admired by
the American people when history will have for
gotten Pierce and his advisers, unless their memo
ry be preserved by their attempt to mar his fame.
Gen. Wool has written a letter to the Washington
Union hurling the charges back into its teeth, in
reference to which the Ata says
awe regret that brave old soldier, who has de-
voted his whole life to his countrys service, should
ever find it necessary to vindicate himself against
n ewspaper attack and descend to personal con-
troversy with the hireling organ of administra-
ton whose acts, we fear, will not bear the touch
stone of purity and honesty.
Turning to the article in the Washington Union
which has given the offence, and provoked the SEN
sitiveness of the Commander of the Department, we
cannot but regard such efforts to tarnish the char
acter and prospects of jealous and faithful vete-
ran officer of our service disgraceful to the ad-
ministration which authorizes sanctions it. Let
his partisan or political conduct be what it may so
long as he fulfils to the letter his instructions
chief of the military department here, it is base
and contemplate to seize the pretext of wrong or
error in the former regard to njure his reputation
in the profession to which he has so long been
honor. If it be true that IA soldiers honor is
delicate as woman's virtue" the Union can indeed
see that it has done Gen Wool great wrong
We are at loss to understand this continued
persecution of the commander of the Pacific Divis-
ion. We thought his political sins and heresies
had all been fully expated by the virtual Danish
ment of Wool to that early created Botany Bay of
California Something of the cutting
hs-nose species of revenge was
accomplished here by the Government The reno
val of the headquarters of all the departments of
the troops in California has only entaled addition
al heavy expenses on the Warofice, for nearly two
thirds of the time the presence of the chiefs of these
departments is demanded here, and nearly all the
business of their respective posts is done here. 1t
has it is true, rendered their positions extremely
uncomfortable. much so that designations of the
ablest officers in army have taken place, but the
will of Gen. Wools political enemies has triumphed
Let them enjoy that triumph but it cannot be done
at the expense of the military fame of an officer
whose honorable services are portion of the most
honorable history of our country while there is
honest press in the land to speak the truth.

In JUSTICES CoURT-CRIB Is DEAD.--The propri-
etor of the Brick Store owned dog who once liy-
ed, and was familiarly known as Crib A wicked
neighbor administered pill with one of Colts six
shooters-Crih died from the effects thereof. His
owner sued the slayer, (not the bullet,) the con-
stable performed his duty faithfully. and brought
the dog hater into the presence of Justice Long. He
looked pale, he did, when he appeared at the bar
for trial. The defendant demurred to the COM
plant, and alleged that he had done nothing
wrong-injured nothing. Plaintiffs counsel con-
tended that defendant had killed the dog Crib,
thereby laceratng the feelings of plaintiff and de-
stroying much valuable material for sassingers,
and moved the Court to place the defendant upon
his trial. Trial proceeded The facts proved were,
first the plaintiff never owned dog named Crib.
Second, that defendant did certainly kill him with
proved by the butcher, that sassingers are never
made of live dogs. Second that sassngers are
made of dead dogs, and that nearly all dead dogs
are thus disposed Of and that this is the why
men are so snappish. The testimony closed, and
the Court charged the jury to find verdict accor-
ding to the facts and said the testimony appeared
favorable to defendant, but if malice dictated his
conduct the jury must make an example of him
in order to deter men from unbridling their pas
sions. The jury retired and after deliberation re-
turned into Court. Verdict, (copy) 1--WE find the
butcher guilty of telling the truth, fine, drinks all
round we find that plaintiff never owned a dog
called Crib hence, the high price of turkeys fine,
cigars for all hands. We find defendant guilty of
killing Crib, belonging to the plaintiff in his life
time, with malice aforethought, fine, drinks for the
Court for ten days We find plaintiffs counsel
guilty of fmisrepresentng material point. to wit
plaintiffs feelings, and adudge fine of lager beer
for the jury upon him, and request the Court to
direct the constable to attend to the enforcement of
this verdict"
The Court complimented the jury upon their
perceptions of right and justice, and discharged
them. The Court then adjourned.

GREAT SPEED.-The electric telegraph has been
eutaone by the swift messenger who travelled post
haste from Rocky Canon to Placerville, distance
of forty miles, in the unprecedented short time of
fortysight hours bringing intelligence of the des-
perate fight" said to have occurred near Todd's
Valley and of the heroic conduct of Capt. Jona-
than R. Davis of South Carolina, who is reported
to have killed all of band of robbers ten of the
number outright, dead as door-nail, and wound
ing one slightly in the nose from the effects Of
which he died also, making eleven in all. The
affair appears to have been quite miraculous. Cap
tain Jonathan R. Davis and his party had nothing
but their revolvers, yet subsequently Capt. Davis
springs upon his assaiants with large bowie
Knife" cuts down three of the robbers and wounds
one in the nose thus destroying the whole gang Of
eleven, composed of two Ameri cans, one French
man, five Sidneymen, four Mexicans and two men
just arrived from London making thirteen. Three
robbers having Leen suddenly transmogrifed into
one for the occasion. A gentleman from Todd's
Valley, Tuesday last, week after the heroic
affair was surprised to hear of it in Cooma for the
first time. The account of the desperate fight" is
no doubt "selr' of the most bungling description.

twelve dozen assorted fire crackers by fsh-hook,

they were ignited. The poor devil thinking Gabri-

The following communication appears in the
Statesman, and we copy it as refreshing morsel
tongues:
Mr.. EDITOR In San Francisco paper called
the Town Talk, it is stated that upwards of one
million of gallons of common whiskey have been
shipped from New York to France to be made into
Cognac brandy. This was done in San Francisco
in 40. A certain person who had large lot of
New England Rum on hand proposed to me to
make samples, which did, of dark and light bran
dies, but as he would not accede to my terms de-
clined manufacturing. '49ER.

SrAcEs.--The stage opposition which commenced
last week with such beautiful prospects, has, we
are informed, been brought to close by the oppo-
sition selling out to the old company. Hence the
old rates of fare are now charged with an addition
of two dollars as an indemnity for having carried
passengers down to the city for fifty cents on two
different days. We have had no confidence in any
of the proposed stage opposition-we have suppos-
cd and think STILL that the whole affair was got up
by the California Stage Company ITSELF as blind,
and to humbug the community.
