We publish in another column a well-reason-

the most influential Catholic papers in the coun-
try, on Gov. Ligon's Proclamation. The editor
can hardly be accused Of having any political
prejudices that would lead him to condemn the
Governor unnecessarily, but yet with a candor
that does him credit, he places in the strongest
light the objectionable character Of the Procla-
nation. -.r.

The news which the telegraph has briefly pre-
sented, in relation to the Utah expedition, is
omlnous, if it be at all correct. We place little
reliance upon the rumor of the destruction of a
portion of the force by hostile Indians, but the
reports of the hardships encountered by the
troops on account Of the lateness of the season
and the destruction of supply train by Nor
mon emissaries, seem to have better foundation
The latter fact indicates that Brigham Young is
determined to resist the entrance of the force
into Utah. The danger that environed the
troops on account Of their insufficient numbers
increased by the late season at which they were
despatched, and though we may still hope for
the best, there is too much reason to apprehend
the worst.-Baltimore american. -...--. =

THE FALL OF DELHI.

The great feature of the late foreign news Is
the fall of Delhi Of which the British are again
masters. Full details Of the entire attack have
not been received, but enough was known to
show that the dislodgment of the mutineers from
the old city Of the Moguls was no easy task
The Sepoys, driven to desperation, appear to
have fought with more than their ordinary bra
very, and the severity of the struggle may be
inferred from the fact that the British lost in
killed and wounded nearly fifty officers and
more than five hundred men: When the troops
had effected an entrance within the walls, num-
bers Of the insurgents secured retreat by the
bridge Of boats which crosses the Jumna, and
amongst these retreating heroes were the King
and his two sons, disguised, some of the accounts
Estate, in woman's apparel. 1t seems to have
required six days of desperate fighting to re-
Iduce Delhi.
We are only in possession of the particulars
Of the first two days struggle. The assailing
force amounted to 10000; the beseiged exceed
ed three or four times that number. General
Wilson, before the attack commenced, issued an
address to his band in which he stated that no
quarter was to be given to the mutineers, but
that the women and children were to be spared.
The address strongly impressed the soldiery with
the necessity of keeping well together, and by
declaring that all the booty should become the
common stock of the assailants, the commander
restrained the indiscretion Of the troops he led.
A writer from Bombay states that ''the prinei-
pal loss sustained by the British troops was due
to the obstinate resistance they met with in
clearing their way along the ramparts to the
Cabul gate, and afterwards in an attempt to
penetrate beyond that point into the denser
parts of the city in the direction Of the Junna
Musjid. 80

The FaCttOnISts.

1t is fact gratifying to the Democracy of
California, that those engaged in creating
dissensions and divisions in their ranks,
form but an infntismal portion of the De-
mocratic party, and that their efforts to
create factional jealousics will be totally
disregarded. There appears to be but two
papers, protesting to be governed by Demo
cratic principles, engaged in this disreputa-
BILE course. Their aders and abettors are
to be found in the ranks Of the Republicans
and amongst the scattered and dishonored
fragments of the late Know Nothing organ
ization These attacks, from n. puerie
source, seconded by the opposition press,
can only excite the contempt and disgust of
the Democratic party The struggles and
heartburnings of past years have been for
gotten, and the attempt to revive them will
avail not When the party was divided, it
was a natural consequence for the democratic
press to take sides with the different fac
tiOns but the union Of the committees in
1855, and the subsequent acts of the party,
should be sufficient to consign the political
dsqusitions of factionists, greedily endorsed
by the opposition press, to the Kissing and
scOrn of all true Democrats.
The Democratic press, from one extreme
of the State to its opposite, consider the
prosperity of the party, and the advance
ment Of its principles and policy, Of much
more Importance than the interests of par
ticular factions. All are interested in the
triumph of Democratic measures, and when
they are overlooked for the Advancement of
particular men, the primary aim of our
party becomes subservient TO a secondary or
rather incidental object, and Democrats,
divided into factions become the followers of
men, instead of being the exponents of prin-
eiples.
This determination of the press of the
State to rebusc the attempt to create dis
sensions in the Democratic ranks, will meet
with the hearty approval OF the democracy
of Butte, who but await the summons of the
Democratic State central committee, to la
Dor for the success of democratic principles
and democratic measures.
