The Governor is able to inform you, that the
despatch from Mr. Tyler to you, IN which he
communicated to you that the President re-

refusal of the President to the same pledge,
proposed to him by the Senators OF the several

uledge-a refusal, in fact, to abstain from the
commission of acts of hcstility-was not uneE-

Correspondence Between Judge Robert
son and the South Carolina Authori-
ties.
Hon. yoAM Robertson 10 Tie Geceruor.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 90, 1861
To His Excellency, the Governor of South
Carolina:
Sir The intelligence Of the sailing Of the
Brooklyn from Hampton Roads, received here
on the 25th inst, determined me at once not
to press an immediate reply to my note of that
date, communicating the mediatorial PROPOSE
tons Of the General Assembly Of Virginia
1t was arranged between EN-President Tyler
and myself, previous to our departure from
Richmond, that We would endeavor to obtain
from the Government at Washington and the
authorities Of the seeded States, mutual as
surances of abstinence from acts calculated 10
produce hostile collision during the period
designated BY the General Assembly, which
assurances being interchangcd, would be re-
ciprocally binding
Last evening received dispatch from Mr.;
Tyler, informing me that the President declines
to give written pledge. do not understand
that he has given, or proposes to give, verbal
one.
Under these umstances-informcd more
over that South Carolina does not consent 10
send Commissioners to Washington, as pro.
posed by Virginia-it seems wholly unneceSsa-
~, if not unreasonable, to ask from the au-
thorties of your State assurances Of the char'
acter contem plated, which the Government at
Washington on its part declines to give. At
the same time, though regarding my mission as
terminated, it will afford me sincere pleasure to
be the bearer of any response which the au-
thorties of Sonth Carolina may think proper
to make through me, to the friendly inter-
position Of the State have the honor to repre-
sent.
Permit me, in conclusion to express my CRATE
full sense Of the courtesy and kindness extend
ed to Inc by the authorities and citizens South
Carolina, during my brief sojourn among
them. Very respectfully,
JouS ROBERTSON.

SIMoSToN, of the Bulletin, says the idea
is prevailing at Washington that an extra
session of Congress must be called. Here
is what he has to say about Fort Sumter:
In this view of the case, the military reader
will see that it becomes indispensable to take
these hostile batteries the first step towards
reinforcing the fort. Upon this point the Pres
ident and Cabinet are agreed Every military
and naval officer who has been consulted con-
ours in the opinion that force must be landed
sufficient to take the batteries, and that a rein
forcing vessel can only enter the harbor after
this has been accomplished. The next point,
therefore, is, what force is required for this pur-
pose? Major Anderson thinks it could not be
done with less than 10000 men, while Gen. Scott
believes it may be attempted, with fair proba-
biliy of success, with l2,0 600. 1t is not proba-
BILE that the President will act against the ad-
vice, or disregard the opinion of the command
ing General; he will, therefore, not attempt to
reinforce the fort with less than this force, prop
erly supported by vessels of war. The next
question to be decided, therefore, is whether he
has authority, under the law, to raise such a
force; and this is the point on which his action
will turn. If he has such authority, he will
| probably exercise it and reinforce the fort. If
not he viii scarcely be expected to make the at
! tempt The last Congress, ii is well known,
failed 10 pass any law enlarging his powers with
reference to the present emergency. Whether
/ laws already in existence gi.e him that author
! itv, is a point on which the opinion of his At
toruey- General viii be required. If that is ia
vorable. we may look for immediate and vigor-
ous measures for the reinforcement OF Fort Sum
ter. If it is unfarorable, and Maj. Anderson
is compelle3, either With or without engage
ment, to surrender the fort, it will only show
with what success the last Administration pur-
sued its policy of disarming the Government,
and placing it at the absolute mercy Of the
| Southern traitors.
| In conclusion, on that point, I have only to
add, that Attorney General Bates docs not ad-
wise the raising of the necessary force, and that
the garrison of Sumter will surely he withdrawn
as the alternative of initiating civil war by the
capture of Charleston.

CAPT. KIDD arrived in town on Wednesday

CAPT. KIDD arrived in town on Wednesday,
from a visit to bis new steamer "Nevada."-
The Captain came up on her to Sacramento and
is highly elated with her movements. She
made better run than any other boat on the
liver, and offers superior Accommodations to the
travelling community. The Nevada will here
after leave Sacramento on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Fridays, returning on the alternate
days. In the Nevada the travelling public
have the only boat of good Accommodations
and speed that has ever been put on the waters
of the State in opposition to the California
Steam Navigation Company. The gentlemen
who own her have abundant means to keep her
running and intend to do so. As the press has
had much to say of " the souless m onopoly "
which has controlled all the travel at high rates
during many years, it can obtain justice to the
injured interests of the people whose rights it
advocates by advising patronage Of the steam
or Nevada. The proprietors want only rea-
sonable price for fare and freight, but mean to
run the boat at any hazard. If the inland coun-
ties Of the State want cheap travel, and are
obedent to their true interests they will be sure
to assist in keeping..th 81 Nevada" ahoat, par
ticularly she has all the qualifications of a
number one steamboat. Remember the days on
which she leaves Sacramento and be there on
those days.

Sr.RR KISG's LECTURE. The lecture of 7.
Starr King on Washington, Wednesday evening,
was splendid treat A speaker of faultlefs ell
oeution, 4 man of vast intellectual gifts, Starr
King is welcomed by large and intelligent audi
enccs wherever he goes. Washington is brought
but in bold relief, type and model of patriot
ism, Judgment and justice. We see the great
American more plainly since the lecture; we
appreciate his commanding virtues; we vene-
rate and shall never cease to yenerate the more
his matchless name.
The leading features of the lecture on Wash
ington have been given in the newspapers Had
they never been published we should not attempt
to give them, regarding the grand ideas of Mr.
King rs his stock in trade which we had no right
to place before the public while they could be
valuable to him. We hope some arrangement
will be made by which Starr King will favor the
people of Nevada again and again with ad-
dresses.

FORT SUMTER.-We see by recent Pony
dates, that Fort Sumter was to have been
evacuated on the 23d of March. The policy
of the Administration may turn out to have
been for the best, but we caunot see how
the surrender of our public property is 60
ing to restore peace and harmony to the
Union. If we succumb to the doctrine of
secession, and acknowledge the right, where
will he the end. State after State may set
up a separate government of its own, and
the proud flag of the Union lose its con-
stellation and dwindle down to miserable
lone stars" which will hardly have suffi-
cient Importance in the eyes of the world to
merit its contempt. Our nationality will be
gone; we shall no longer be American cit
izens, but inhabitants of some little confed-
eracy whose very existence will hardly Be
known outside its own boundaries. The
stars and stripes should he draped in mourn2
ing, and the flag of an hundred victories
be carefully laid away as memento of our
former glory. Each section Of the divided
country should select an appropriate BAN

greatness and present humiliation as we

The history of the world has proved that
a people, disunited, could no: long retain
their power, and our own nation will not be
an exception; the fallacy, that we are ma
ton OF States, has prevailed; even officers
of the army and navy have left the national
government in order to enlist under the flag
of the State which gave them birth, We
have never believed IN the doctrine of a re-
construction, after division has once taken
place. Men love netty titles too well to re-
sing them willingly military despots will
soon usurp the reins of government, and the
people lose their hold on power, which they
are now so recklessIy throwing away. Po-
ltical demagogues have taken tha place of

A RoUGH RIDE.-A miner at Omega took a
perilous ride one day last week. He was at
rorL in Stuart l. Co.'S. claims that are situated
on declivity above Scotchman' creek. At the
edge of the claims is a fall of some feet. The
pick of the miner dropped and was about TO
pass over the bank; he clutehed for it, and at
the same moment large mass of earth and
water came down from the hydraulic works
sweeping him over. He was dug out of the
mud some four hundred feet from the place OF
starting between four and five hours after, and
though badly hurt is in fair way to recover
lie passed over several perpendicular falls of a
fow feet in height, and when found was one
hundred aud fifty feet lower than the point Of
departure.
