A MUSICAL Guosr.-A young gentleman.
VINO must be nameless, met with bit of a
fright on Monday night. A year ago teach
er OF music occupied sleeping room in the
second story OF house on Washington street
near Gregory Boriug's store. He had
piano IN the room on which he played great
deal. lie left and went to Sacramento and
not long since, Intelligence reached here of
his death. Within a week or two. some wag
started the story that the ghost of the de.
tunet music teacher was nightly visi, or of
his old sleeping room, and could be heard in
the awful stiffness of the night, bringing weird
music out of ghostly piano The Young
gentleman to whom we have referred. was
induced, by some of his many friends. to
sleep in the room on Monday night. Full of
the thought of the spiritual pianist, he GOT
into bed, when one of his companions intro
duced music box into the room and set it
gong The victim of the trick sprung out of
oed IN the dark tulnbled down stairs. and
rushed up street to the Young America Sa-
loon' where he arrived in his night dress.

TIE President, says the Washington cor
respondent of the Bulletin, still inclines to
nominate Judge Black for the late Judge
Daniels vacancy on the bench Of the SUI
preme Court; but the deoling Democratic
strength in the Senate, and Southern opTo-
sition to the appointments, do not afford
much encouragement for his confirmation
That place belongs properly to the next Ad-
minis,ration, and will be so treated after the
examples of Messrs Clijtenden and Badger,
who were suspended by Democratic majori-
ties when nominated for this Court by Mr.
son and Mr.. Pierce came into Office. Their
own medicine, judiciously administered, will
do them good.

Meeting of the Breckenridge State Gen.
trail Committee.

Charles Lindey, Chairman of the above
named Committee, has called upon its mem
bers. by card in the Express, to meet on the
Goth day Of March, 1861, in Sacramento, ito
consider the perilous crisis in our national
affairs and to fix the time of calling Con-
vention, or to authorize the Chairman or a
sub committee to fix the same. as emergen-
cies may arise" lie lays out his own view
as follows:
Let US have Union if we can; PedcedJie
dissolution if we must, but conflict, never.
If peaceable dissolution comes why should
not California remain with the Free States 2
II bloody separation, why should she not
establish a Pacific Nationality
Is She willing tc be dragged into a wal
against a southern Confederation Of her sis
4 ters, should such Confederation be irrevoca-
/ hlY eslabHshedl
Ought not she to demand Of the other Free
States to consent to a peaceabe separation IL
any must Gomez as an unyielding condition o
her remaining with them?
Does not Lincolns foreshadowed policy oI
executing the laws over seeded States, in-
ply force, coercion war?
anarchy, and suffer the ravages of such q
war?
Judge Lindley probably expresses The
views of those with whom he has been act
ing He is opposed to coercion in any event
whatever lie is for no conflict, in any case,
whether the ports of the United States he
taken from them or the free navigation of the
Mississippi closed or the public property of
the Union be seized and the Government
plundcred
He is for a Pacific Republic, if there is war
between the General Government and the Sc
ceding States but, if there is pedceaJle dis
solution between North and South, he is in
clined to think California might as well re
main with the Free States. If the Free
States don't consent to a peacea5le separation,
Why, then, California is released, he thinks,
from all obligations to remain with them.
That is to say, if the General Government
undertakes to put down rebellion on the
Gulf, rebellion on the Pacific Coast is jusiit-
able: but, if She does not, then the rebellion
| here Is not JnstlHabIe. curious lo9lc ou'
these Pacific Republicans, it must be remem-
bered, are curious reasoners. We are to be
loyal, if the General Government says to Sc
cession, "do as You please" But, we are to
be disloya, if she assumes the privilege of
exercising her authority
We will soon see what the Pacific Repub-
icans are driving at. Coming events throw
their shadows before, and it takes no very
fat-sighted man to determine what it is that
the apologists for secession want. They are
cautious but who can fail to see the tendency
of their plans? Verify, the people must
arouse themselves to sense of what is
around them, and be prepared to assert their
opinions with a readiness and an emphasis
which will settle the question at issue, at once
and forever.

Give Them a Chance.

We perceive that certain of the bob-tailed
still in favor of trying the experiment of a
Pacific Republic. The public sentiment of
California is against it, but they have set
their hearts upon it, poor fellows, and it
seems pity to disappoint them. They think
it would be $50 NICE" as the feminines say
to have pretty little government of their
own, and to play Pacific Republicing as the
boys play building cob houses. Surely no
one would be so rude as to come and spoil
their pretty little play, by knocking over
their pretty little Pacific Republic!
Well, we are inclined to be lenient with
these artless youths, and we say-give them
a chance. We suppose the cactus might
grow on the Farallone Islands. Let them
have the Farallone Islands, and let them there
experiment with the Pacific Republic Let
them cultivate the cactus, but be careful not
to prick their pretty little fingers or to sit
down, without looking. They will necessa-
rily have to have something to eat, and the
gulls eggs, with which the islands abound,
are just the thing for them. They can, then,
gull themselves in more ways than one, and
whatever is gullible will naturally gravitate
in that direction, so that after while, they
may have quite a lot of youthful experiment.

On the Gull-lslands they could play" Pa
ciic Republic for long time, and nobody
would interrupt them. The only trouble
would be that each one would think that he
was the very boy to play" President, and
betwixt Sam, Charley and the balance, it
would be long time before the play could
begin But, after it did begin, what nice
little play it would be
On the Farallone Islands, we say, it would
be all right but, we cant consent to have
the schoolboy freak performed in the State
of California at large 1t is well enough to
let the boys amuse themselves, but, then,
e they cannot be allowed to do it at the ex-

some go out, and some stay in, and SO there
is a squabble. But, if all would go out, there
would be perfect harmony" F. G. has

Health,

1t seems that certain persons object to the
location Of the State Reform School in this
vicinity, because of the unhealthiness of this
region Well, this nonsensical idea about
the unhealthiness of Marysville and vicinity
has prevailed long enough and it is about
time that the cry was hushed The mortua-
~ statistics will show that the deaths annu-
ally in this locality are es few, in proportion
to population, as in any quarter of the state.
1t is very convenient for parties whose inter
ests lie on the coast to give out the idea
that everybody in the valleys Of the Iuba
and Sacramento is walking skeleton or a
corpse semi u1agnetzed into animate exis-
tence. The health Of this region has been
persistently misrepresented, and We do not
intend. for our part to submit to the injns-
tice any longer.
1t is the cheap excuse for every refusal to
give this vicinityithe benefits Of any public
work whatever. And it has been urged in
the face of truth to such an extent that it.
repetition is beginning to partake Of the
character OF an insult.
lfthe State Reform School is removed from
