PERsoNAL.-D. P. Tallmadge of theEmpire
County Argus honored our sanctum with his
presence few days since, Every body would
know by his honest, open countenance that he
belongs to the American party. There is no
treachery in that phiz. When he joins the
phalanxers he will not turn traitor to his pres
ent friends and get kicked out of the American
organization. That physioe show it.

WALKER AND NICAKAGUA.-The 4Alta makes
the following sensible remarks on the fllibuster
movement in Central America
As to the justice of an incursion thither by
citizens OF the United States, there seems to be
a variety OF opinions. One person deems the
adventnrers to be true patriots,-going to
Nicaragua to hberate and elevate debased
and oppressed people; while another perhaps
thinks them little better than pirates and
robbers. We have but little doubt that Walk
er and his men, if successful, viii greatly i'm.
prove the condition of people, who, at the
present time, are indeed low enough. They
cannot well make things much worse than
they have been for half century past in
Nicaragua. Besides, there is chance to
world.
We think, however, that our citizens should
not be encouraged to embark in any under.
taking like that upon which Walker and bis
men are now engaged Such expeditions tend
to bring into disrepute the American eharae.
ter We are set down as a band of aggressors,
and with much seeming plausibilty. The
United States, we believe, can afford to deal
fairly by its neighbors. 1t is not necessary, in
order to acquire more territory, to send az
gressivc parties abroad to conquer it. Trade
is to be the great auxiliary to acquisition, il
VIC nre to have more territory. We send ont
merchants. They quietly revoIusionize wher-
ever they go, by spreading knowledge of our
institutions, and the advantages which we
possess.

Transparency.

1fany political move was ever transparent,
the articles in the pbalanx sheets laudatory of
the Ion. W. !. Ferguson are perfectly dia'
phonous. They are so shallow the dirty bot.
tom is easily seen. Dim must be the vision
and dull the intellect that cannet discover the
object of all such articles.
Tricks Of like nature have been in vogue
from the earliest ages. Judas BETRAYED Christ
with kiss. But attempts to conquer and
ruin by liek-spittle establishments are an insult
to the perception and intelligence of the age.
The State Journal devotes leader to the Sen
ator from Sacramento. 1t is repe.e with
cringins servility, fawning, hattering, and the
most disgusting obsequiousness. Uriah Heep

cur about his master. 1t licks his hand.
lies down and rolls over, whines, and performs
all manner of gyrations, and for what Why,
the foolish thing imagnes that by soft words
and still softer actions, it can get an Ame rican
Senator or two to vote against a joint conven.
ton to elect a U. S. Senator at the coming
Session OF the Legislature. The Senate of
the State is nearly evenly divided, and if few
votes can be bought or otherwise secured, to
the phalanxers the Senatorial election will be
postponed till another year. The Senator from
Sacramento is characterized as honest, high
minded and honorable by the State Journal,
yet in another paragraph it is confidently de-
clared, that he joined the American party for
the spoils and nothing else-that when he pro-
claimed Americanism with his lips it was far
from his heart
How glaring are such inconsistencies Mr..
Ferguson is gentleman of honor and integrity
and of the highest order of intellect He
must enjoy himself hugely laughing in his
sleeves at the sycophancy of the phalanx press
The Establishments from such source on
such subject, will have the same effect as
nitric acid on gold, only make it purer.

Arrival of the Golden Gate /!

Later from the Atlantie States and Europe,
The steamer Golden Gate arrived at
San Francisco at one o'clock on Tuesday
morning last, bringing 1907 passengers,
132 of whom were children, and 226 fe-
males. General health prevails on the
Isthmus of Panama. There was no sick
ness on board the Golden Gate on her
passage up, which contrasts favorably
with the mortality on board the Nicaragua
steamers

EUROPE.

Tchernaya are threatning the lines Of the
allies. 1t is surmised that England at
the instigation of France, is about to pick
a quarrel with Naples
In the Crimea the usual routine is fol-
lowed, nothing remarkable has yet trans

be opened on Sevastapol when the time

warfare. Two months are the farthest
limit. in which active military operations
can be carried en- before Sevastapol as the
winter is fast approaching Within that
time the fortress must fall into the hands
of the allies if at all during the season.
The news from the Baltic is unimport-
ant. The feet is healthy. There is
famine at Odessa. A Russian vessel was
burnt in the harbor of Sevastapol. The
