Wild-fre Soldiers.

OF Elsworth's regiment OF Now York
firemen, Washington letter writer says:
The New York Zouaves under command
Of COL Ellsworth, Of Illinois, have created
good deal of CONSERVATION in our City of
Magnificent Distances. They have had two
days of extensive, expensive, and extreme
fight, fun and frolic. They have broken into
taverns, terrified old ladies', ordered dinners
and suppers, which they had the impudenre
to request their victims to charge to that
bankrupt concern, the Southern Confeleracy
and performed many other irreverent feas
They now occupy the new hall of the House
of Representatives, from which their arlso'
cratic predecessors, the New York Seventh
Regiment retired to encounter the cold
rain storm of Friday and Saturday; and, in
order not to be behind the representatives
Of the people, they yesterday improvised II
House of Representatives, elected speaker,
clerk and other officers, went into full ses-
sion, dissolved the Union, and reconstructed
it, and then wound up tho joke by going
into executive session, after the model of the
Senate, and in obedience to the example of
Senator Mason of Virginia, ordered the gal
Ieries to be cleared, which was rulhlessly
effected, although that part of the building
was then occupied by some Of their tired
and sleepy comrades, seeking a few hours
rest After walking the parapets Of the
Capitol, rifle on shoulder, eapng fences,
knocking down sentnels, turning aside in
dignant bayonets, hanging like monkeys
from the outer lodges of the dome, some two
hundred feet above the firm set earth, 20
everybodys horror, they have been brought
up with round turn by an old gentleman
at the other end Of the avenue, named Win
field Scott, speaking through quiet gentle
man in charge Of the Capital, Major Nc
Dowell, u. S. A. These Turco men of our
time, these untamed firemen after fire eaters,
these red .shirled patriots, so Indifferent to
all other appeals, have at last been conquer
ed; order to day reigns in Warsaw. What
mighty magic produced this change few can
know, but ex pect they have been promised
n steamboat ride some pleasant May morning
to Mount Vernon, with slight niimation
that they may stop at Alexandria, on their
way for refreshments. 1t is astonishing how
mild and gentIem;nIy the Zouaves have be
come since their treaty with Gen. Scott.

One Republican Paper for Peace.

The Hartford Courant, the leading Re-
publican paper Of Connecticut, is at length
constrained to admit that the only way tc
obtain peace is to recognize the indepen
ommend its calm language to Republicans
everywhere. Here follows what it says:
"Public opinion in the North seems to be
gradually settling down IN .taoor Of tile recog
nition Of the mew Confectionery by the FEEDER
al Government. TIE thought of q bloody
and protrocted ciol 'car, except as a matter
of absolute necessity as ABHoRENT to dU and
its issues may be as periIous to the ptctors as
to vonquishI. To suhjugae the seeded
States by force of arms and to compel
them to remain in the Union, if it be pcs
sible, must involve great expenditure OF
treasure and life, and can result only IN
changing the present alienation into deadly
hostility and incurable hate. If they remain
in the Union, they must do so as peers Of
the other States AND NOT As CONQUERED
PROVINCES.
But here a new peril meets us. Do we
not, by the recogrition of the Southern
Confederacy, recognize the principle of Sc
cession? No
Seven States have seeded from the Union.
The act is revolutionary, and may justly be
punished with all the severity which the
crime of unprovoked revolution demands.
But the movement was not checked, AS it
might easily have been, at the beginning.
The Cabinet of Mr.. Buchanan, if not Mr..
Buchanan himself, helped on the treason.
The present Administration must deal with
the matter as it sta DIS; not simply as a
question of practical politics. The torcble
sutjugation of these States under Existing
circumstances, is NOT TO BE THOUGHT OF"

Yuba County,.


The following very sensible resolutions
were unanimously adopted at a recent meet
inc of the Democrats Of Kennebec Bar,
Yuba county.
Resolvea, That the National Democrats of
Kennebec Bar do, with deep regret, deplore
our present National difficulties; and that
we earnestly desire the continuance of our
glorious Union wish true observance of the
Constitutional rights of every section of
our common country.
ResolOed, That we view the proceedings
of our present Chief Magistrate, Abraham
Lincoln, in that of raising and equipping an
extraordinary military force in order to com
pei our Southern brethern to submit to what
they feel to be wrong, to be unconstitu,ion
al, unchristainlke, and against the pIinci-
pies of Republican form of Government
Resolved, That in the great National
Democratic party, we have at all times
found the true friends of the Union, States
and individual rights, and we caution all
true men, and especially the Democracy of
Yuba county, to beware Of the foul trap set
for them in the coming contest under the
name and cloak of the Union Party"
Resolved, That in our present State Gov
ernor, John G.. Downey, we recognize q
good and true man to our Union and State,
and not afraid to uphold the principles of
Democracy as handed down to us by the
founders of our Governinent-the triumph
of which rendered us great, powerful and
happy Nation, and the overthrow of which,
by sectonalsn, has caused all our Difficult,
ties, and is bidding fairly to close our Ca
reer, as Nation, in blood.

BLOCKADE OF CHARLEsToN.-The Charles

BLOCKADE OF CHARLEsToN.-The Charles
ton Mercury has the following:
We learn from a gentleman direct from
Charleston that huge British man of war
was lying off that harbor when he left, aud
that no blockade had been attempted by
Lincon's Government, and vessels were
coming in and gong out Just rs if there was
no such thing in Chrisiendom as Lincoln S
navy. He learned also that another of the
same kind was cruising somewhere between
Fort Macon and Fort Caswell, and as con
frmalion of this latter rumor we copy the
following from the Raleigh correspondent
of the Petersburg Express:
Another rumor is, that a British man of
war, ll9 guns, has anchored between Forts
Macon and Caswell; this is true, for an eye
witness tells the tale. Well, we don't think
that circumstance is calculated to make us
feel bad; for, no doubt John Bull is only
looking after his own interest, and will
raise the paper blockade whenever it be-
comes necessary.

LlNcoLN's SECESSION RELArvEs.-The
Montgomery Adoertiser of the 7th says that
Mrs. Todd, of Kentucky, the mother-in law
Of Lincoln, passed through this city yester-
dav, en- route for Salem. She was accompa
MED 10y ono of her daughters. 1t is said
that she very decidedly refused to accept
the prolfered hospita,iss of the White
House at Washington, not admiring the
tenets of the political faith of the hybrid
head of inlamy.' Her sympalh'es are with
the South" One of her sons, a brother OF
Mrs. Lincoln, is first Lieutenant in the
Confederate army.

The New TAX ON LrERATURE.-Speak
ing of the Morrill, Tariff Bill, the Boston
Trooeller says the changes it purposes to
make in duties on books have been demon
strated to amount to more than 200 per
cent. A New York house, desirous of as
certainng precisely what would be the diff
erence in duties, took seventeen cases of En-
glish books, indiscriminately from recent i'm
portations, on which the duties were 1894 25
and which on the new duties would run up
$l,l7l 80. The whole value of the con
tents of the packages was only about 81, 800.
This shows that the new tariff is a monster
of injustice in its dealings with one of the
higher interests Of men and society. 1t
seems to have been prepared for the express
purpose of preventing the spread of knowl'
edge among men.

Washington Territory Politics.

On the 9Th ultimo, the Democratic Con
venton of Washington Territory, in session
at Vancouver nominated Hon. Salucius Gar
ielde for Delegate to Congress- by a vote of
33 TO ls for Judge VIM. Strong. Gen. |. l..
Stevens had previously withdrawn his name;
and after the nomination of Mr. Garfielde
was announced, addressed the Convention,
declaring his satisfaction with the result, and
his determination to cordially support the
nonineu. Mr.. Garfede was formerly Re
cever of the Land Office at Olympia, is
good lawyer and an eloquent and effective
speaker He is a native of Vermont, but
has resided for some years in Kentucky and
also in this State, where we believe he was
once member of the Legislature. He was
dlegate from Kentucky to the National
Democratic Convention held at Cincinnati
in 1856, and nominated John 9. Breckin-
inrdge, Of whom he was a warm personal
friend, for the Vice Presidency. Last year
he stumped the State of Oregon for Mr..
Douglas. against Mr.. Breckinridge-his poll
tical preference being for the former. From
these facts it is evident that the two wings
Of the Democracy in Washington Territory
have gn' red the obsolete issues Of last year,
and have united to secure victory over
Republicans.
