A letter from Sacramento, which we find in
the New York World. gives the following &C
count of the new senator from California, and
of the circumstances of his election -
"The conservative coalition between Doug
las democrats and republicans, has most sig
nally triumphed in our legislature. General
McDougal was elected United States senator
on the I'd of April, by a majority of ten votes
over all competitors. The vote was Tor Nc.
Dougal 81, John Nugent &c., Weller 4, Eugene
Casserly 3, Gen Shields l. Your readers
will bear in mind that Gen. McDougal was
declared elected on the 10Th of March, by a
majority of one vote, but that an error was
discovered showing that greater number Of
votes were cast than were counted, making
one more necessary for a choice than Gen.
McDougal received.
The new senator will depart for Washington
On the steamer of the 2lst inst Ii the federal
appointments for California shall not have
been disposed of before his arrival, he will no
doubt have a potential voice in regard to
them. He is, like the president and Col. Ba.
ker, an llinoisian, and the trio received
their political education in the same school,
though under different masters, Before the
election, a correspondence passed between
Gen. Mcl)ougal and the republican leaders,
which on the part of the former amount

the nominations of Mr.. Lincoln, unless he
should feel it to be his duty to oppose them on
the score OF personal ua6tness. He further
stipulated that he would abandon and oppose

FROM VIRGINIA.-A gentleman formerly
of New Hampshire, but for the last two years
residing in Portsmouth, Va, where he worked
at his trade as a sash and blind maker, arrived
in this city, yesterday, on his way home
On the approach of hostilitics, he was drafted
into one of the rebel companies, and was sta
toned near Gosport navy yard at the time
of the destruction of the vessels in the harbor.
Choosing, if he must fight, to be ON the side
of his country. he received his discharge alter
some ten days service, and started for the
north with his family, leaving his furniture
behind, and dues which it was impossible 10
collect. He represents that the strong union
sentiment which has prevailed even in that
part of Virginia covers before the audacity of
the secession leaders, who make use Of gross
misrepresentation, falseboods, and oppres-
sions to maintain their control. Troops were
constantly arriving from the states below
though not in large bodies, and passing on
toward Richmond.
He makes the following report in regard to
the property destroyed. All the ships were
uSottoy GU all tle ShlpuOuses Win tileiH SOii'
tents, and the large, long building in the yard.
Most of the shops and stationary engines were
left uninjured; and no harm was done t, the
dry dock, the powder placed under it failing
to explode. The remains of the Pennsylvania
are not visible at high water For years her
signal guns had regulated the movements OF
the community, and she is greatly missed by
the people, The Merrimack and Germantown
seemed to be completely destroyed, and the
Plymouth, which was sunk, was not left in
much better condition. Twenty-Five or thirty
of the Pennsylvania guns, which had been
loaded with blank cartridges, were discharged
as she burned. AT the first discharge, the
soldiers and people, on the wharf and in the
vicinity, were much frightened and fed from
the premises.

CITY AND COUNTY

ger, on Sigourney street, in the north part of
the city, was burnt between ten and eleven
o'clock, last night, with all its contents, in
Guiding six tons of hay, several tons of oats,
and other grain. The whole loss is estimated
at about $1,000. The barn was new one,
and was insured for $500, and the hay and
grain for $500, at the old Worcester Mutual
office. The fire was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary, as the barn was always kept

Large numbers OF persons arrive daily from
points in the southern states, who are flying
from the vigilance committee at the south.
AT Memphis every person is asked whether
he is for the north or south. IT he says for
the north, he is ordered to leave forthwith. If
he says the south he is presented With mus
ket and accoutrements, and Immediately en-.
rolled for service, 1t is asserted, however,
that after to day no person will be allowed to
leave Memphis.

THE POLICY OF PEACE.

r 1t has occasioned some of our excellent
friends much anxious thought to reconcile
their instructive appreciation of the war policy
of the government, with their lifelong ad-
vocacy of the doctrines Of peace. The ire
sistible impulse of patriotism, awakened be-
fore they were conscious of it, seemed to
strike at their gentler theories of human duty,
and to conflict in some way, with their tender
and affectionate regard for all mankind. 1t
. is not remarkable, however, that many of
them in the fullness of their just Indignation,
have been willing to shout with all the rest,
settlement with their consciences till after the
war. The ADVOCATE Of Peace, which is the or.
gan of the American Peace Society, puts the
question upon its merits, and, with slight re-
fnement of phraseology, unites its voice with
that of every law-abiding citizen in the land
"The ISSUE" it says, belongs not to the
cause of peace, but to g oyernnent alone, as a
question of authority, right, and power The
principle is the same with that which quells a
riot, or seizes an assassin, and brings him to
condign punishment. We should be tender

the side OF the government against all wrong

In such u collision there is little distinction to
be made between the violent traitors, and
those who were swept into their power by an
overwhelming panic. The war is for the

civil liberty, for government which is, and

The ~Grief', Of the virginia Rebe1s.

The "Grtef" OF the virginia Aeben.
The Richmond Examiner makes bold
confession in relation to the rebel army Of
Virginia. and the discomfort which widely
prevails in the ranks. Deprecating the dis
satisfaction growing out Of the unexpected
hardships of the camp, to which many OF the
volunteers were not accustomed, and the want
of sufficient and wholesome food, which may
be remedied with little more experience, it
adds:
"But there is another and greater grief in
the hearts of our men, which the whole state
shares with tllem-that those are set to 'in-
spect' and rule over them lcho i0eTe bitterly OPP.
