hers near fortnight ago, among her pas
ssagers to California took away the efficient
Commander Of the Pacific division Of the
United States Army, Gen. Clarke, undel

able, show that the late campaign is but a
corollary Of that war, in which our Terri
tcrial authorities and our people, for their
protection and safety, were so generally
engaged. what then is the immediate and
pressing duty Of the Government iu regard
