Mr.. johnson has prepared a statement, says
an Eastern paper, not to defend himself
against the malicious allegations, but to ex-
pose the baseness of the forgery, which was
evidently intended to injure him and the
Unionists of East Tennessee.
VoIcE FROM KENTUCKY gentleman
residing in Western Kentucky writes to his
brother, prominent citizen of Sacramento
under date of May 18th, as follows The wri-
ter is farmer:
The war excitement abSorbs all thought and
attention. The ordinary employments, engage
ments and duties of society are virtually sus-
pended Our Courts will soon be abolished,
our banks suspended, and law and order tram
pied under the foot of lawless people
Kentucky will preserve her present statues
beyond doubt. My section of the State is
largely for secession. Our proximity to Cairo.
where 6000 to 5000 troops are quartered.
gives local irritation not elt in other parts
OF the State. Again the party leaders, with
but one or two exceptions throughout the
Purchase, are Secession zcao s, ard they
blindly control four-ffths of the people, The
press is for Secession likewise, and prescription
and intimidation are freely employed to coerce
the people. HeHce, in this locality, the Union
sentiment has been almost stihed iuto an
eternal sleep. But the sleepers are waking up
again, and echo to the thunder tones from up
per Kentucky.
A few loyal men in our midst and believe
| can class myself with them-have bravely
met every attempt to smother and intimidate
BY our untlrlng efforts to resist the progress of
revolution, we have earned the praise of few,
but the bitter scorn and deadly enmty of
many.
But brighter day is dawnng for u.s. The
tremendous vote of centraland upper Kentucky
so strengthens our position we will soon rout
the rebels from our soil Missouri, Kentucky.
/ Maryland and Delaware will stand firm. We
will be cursed as towards and miscreants by
every lover of the Cotton Oligarchy, bat we
know our motives and our interests, and we
will never surrender them. Virginia is in an
awful ferment. Civil war will most probably
ensue among her own people. Tennessee is not
much better 4 reign of terror may force the
/ people TO ratify the Act of Secession but Andy
johnson and few ionhearted compatros are
making deadly resistance. The country will
be depleted but | have strong hope that
Kentucky will keep the crimson tide from her
! borders
UNIVERSAL PArRIorIsM-The Shasta Her
aid says
| In no war upon tie records OF history was
there ever displayed such universal patriotism
and devotion on the part of people to Gov
ernmtnt as we now behold in free America
Such an army raised in three months was never
before seen, while thousands, disappointed in
their hopes of being called into the field, are
literally kneeling at the feet of the Executive
aud begging to be sent. 1t is impossible to
believe that Government which binds so
closely to it the affections of the people can be
overthr0wn by misguided faction who have
yielded allegiance to the despotism of seces-
sion.
The Union Democratic ticket the Shasta
Courier thinks, will receive majority of POO
in that county 1t says:
| We are not over sangune when we say that
Shasta will roll up majority of l 200 for the
! Union candidate for Governor, and the proba-
bilities are in favor of an increased ratio.
THE following paragraph, which we find in
/ the New Orleans Crescent of the lst, is ano-
ther proof Of the prevalent e" unanimity" OF the
/ South
/ A man named Lorenzo Minot reached the
city on Saturday, being consigned to Mayor
Monroe by the Committe of Safety in Mem
phis as an Abolitonst who should be dealt
with here. He is carpenter who has worked
/ in this city, ard was on his way home in Maine,
when arrested in Memphis. In his possession
was letter from one Chapman, a ship car
penter in Algiers, to his wife in Maine In
/ this letter Chapman compored his wife with
! the assurance that he was all right on the
Northern question; hoped to see the stars and
stripes soon waving over New Orleaus; had
! joined a Home Guard Company (the Clay
/ Guards) to elude suspicion, etc. Upon this
/ the Mayor sent officers to Algers to arrest
Chapman. They secured him, and he and
Minot are now in prison The Mayor intends
turning them over to the military authority.
CnlFeRNIA AND THE UXioY.-The n: Y.
Commercial Advertiser, noticing the earnest
Union movement in this State, says:
The almost miraculous growth of Califor-
MIA po nts her ont at no distant day as the
Empire State of the country Her extent is
para.leled by the variety and richness of her
resources, whether mineral or agricultural
Her climate embraces every region between
the Tropic isnd the Arctic circles She begins
to give promise of becoming great manufac-
turing, as well als an agricultural mining and
commercial community. But OF all the indica-
tons of her future career, none are so satisfac-
tory as her love of country Acquired from
Mexico, aud still containing considerable
population of Mexican origin, she has kept
clear of Mexican policy The prcanunciamento
finds no favor among her orderly anr industri-
Gus settlers. She has witnessed its latal'efleets
in days gone by; has seen them in NATIONAL
elements Of wealth untouched; in the poverty
and ignorance of the people; in the transfer
of dominion TO race stronger, because obedi-N
ent to the law more prosperous, because more
intelligent and peaceful. In identifying herself, J
heart and soul, with the Union. California has
added myriads TO her population and millions
to her wealth. Fastening the day when efen
New York must take a secondary position
alongside her Pacific sister,"
