A. ALBANIAN on THE DAVIS UsURPrIoN.
a W. Baldwin, ESQ., who recently adj
dressed Union meeting at Downieville, replies
:, the Sierra Democrat to a criticism on his
nosition, which appeared in the Sierra Citizen
over the signature of Mississippi" Mr.. Bald
win is native of Alabama. He closes his
reply in the following forcibe language.
/ assert, as one born and bred among them,
that this revolution sras not the at of Southern
people. Despite the burning wrongs which you
so feelingly enumerate, the disunon leaders
have IN one instance only dared to submit
secession ordinance to the people. At this
moment the usurper, Davis, administers laws
which the peoples representatives have not
passed, and constitution to which they have
never assented. The Secession is Anarchy,
and you. sir, know right well that the South
ern people are Union loving people at heart.
The echo of Mississipis indignant voice. when
in 1850 he dared advocate disunion, rings
yet in the ears of Jefferson Davis. Do not
say that because am for the Union | am un-
true to the place Of my birth 1t was there
| learned to love the Union, and abhor dis

The GREAT BULLET MAcHINE--A cores
pondent of the New York Times writing
about the Watervliet New Y ork) Arsenal, thus
speaks Of the great feature of that establish
ment, the bullet machine
Bat the great curiosity of the arsenal is the
bullet machine from which those deadly pieces
of lead more perfect in shape than slow hand
processes can render them, pour out, as from a
hopper, at the rate of 10000 per day. The
operator has merely to change the dies, and
turn out conical or round balls at pleasure
This machine works with a smoothness, pre-
cision and automatic power that is really won
deriui. As a mere curiosity, it is unapproach-
able, while the practicable benefits of such a
mill cannot bO Over-estimated. This machine
bears with it a chapter in the history of ex-
Secretary Floyd's treason. 1t was devised at
the arsenal, and the only one in existence for a
long time was the original ''lead MILL, still in
operation there. That it should remain the
only one Of its kind was the intention of the
Ordinance Department and the patterns were
directed to be kept strictly within the control
OF the Commandant But FLOYD was anxious
that friends 'down South in Dixie" should
have bullet maker of their own. SO. by a
special order. he directed the patterns to be
delivered to machinest in Troy, who COM
menced making counterpart Very fortu-
nately, the work was delayed, and last week
the Lieutenant Governor purchased the un-
finished machine for the use OF the State at a
cost of 81, 200. It will be completed in about a
week, and then we can make our own bullets as
independently as Uncle Sam. There is a third
bullet machine in existence, but not in this
country. Whether it serves as plaything for
the Tycoon, or is really being used by our
quondam visitors cannot be determined but
that it was presented to the japanese ambas-
sadors, when they were here last summer, is
fact rejecting no credit on the sagacity of the
donors. However, it is where JEFF. Davis can't
get possesson Of it.

LETTER OF SENATOR McDouGALL.-The fol-
lowing letter was sent to the late Union meet
ing in. Marysyille

NJ. D. Dobbins. Secretary Marysville Union
Club-Dear Sir: Permit me to express to
you, and through you to your Club, my sincere
regret at not being able to respond to the
request to address a Union meeing to be held
in your city before my departure for Washing
ton | shall leave this coast on the steamer of
the 2lst instant and the brief time between
now aud then will be scarcely sufficient to ar
range my private affairs. You cannot but
know the deep interest feel in promoting and
maintaining Union sentiment and the Union
cause everywhere, and especially in this State.
That the Union must be maintained under all
circumstances and at all hazards is not merely
an opinion with me. 1t is my fixed determina-
tion to do all in my individual power 10 main
tain it in all places, under all circumstances,
aud to be and act wherever | can serve this
determination best Liberty; humanity, our
race for the present and all the future, are too
deeply concerned in the maintenance and per-
petuity of this Union to admit of any true man
and patrio. faltering in the crisis. And let me
say there are but two aspects to this crisis. the
one Liberty, Union and order the other Trea-
son, Secession and Anarchy. | hope to see
California a unit on the better side, and permit
me to express the hope that the men, women
and children of your beautiful city will be
found in the advance in the support of the
cause dearest to freemen.

from the Atlattic to the Pacifc-now and
forever, one and inseperuble.

SECESSION IN KENTUCKY. = Secession in
Kentucky received a staggering blow on Sat
urday, and Louisville covered herself with i'm
perishable honor. There were SIP votes
cast for the Union delegate ticket. when the
aggregate vote of the city at the Presidential
election was only 7,454. The largest vote
ever cast before In Louisville was in the Gu
bernatorial race between Magoffin and Bell,
the aggregate of which was 7,645. So that,
when Louisville gave ll2 votes for the Union
ticket. she exceeded by AGO votes the largest
aggregate vote ever before polIed. OF the
7.454 votes for President, Breckenridge receiv-
ed bnt 500, and many of the latter doubtless
voted the Crittenden-Guthrie ticket on Satur-
day, so that the Secessionists proper do not
constitute corporals guard. If their ticket
had not been so judciously withdrawn, we do
not believe 1t would have averaged more than
Two or three votes IN any precinct in the city.
This result inspires US with additional hope
that the State generally has spoken with
voice equally unmistakeable for the Union, the
Constitution, and the restoration of peace-
The Legislature which convenes today will
then have additional reasons, if indeed they are
necessary, TO preserve in that course to which
1t has adhered with such patriotic frmness

into secession and revolution against the Fed

The FIRST BATTLE-A bout ten days ago
Union and Secession battle was fought on a
small scale, near the Cosumnes, in Sacramento
county, of which the following are the facts :
Eight men, all mounted, happened to meet on
the road, and being acquainted, got into
general conversation. -Four of them chanced
TO be Union men, and four were SeceSsioniSs.
The conversation very naturally ran upon the
universal topic, and though pleasant enough at
first, 1t soon assumed an exciting character
The four Union men were out in search of
cattle, and had no other weapons with them
than the lasso and whip. OF the other four
one only had a revolver. In q short time he
went so far as 10 pronounce all Union men
thieves and towards, and stated that he could
whip any four Of them that ever lived. lie
was soon told that he must take that statement
back. He stated that be would not do that
as long as his "artillery" lasted, referring to
his pistol He made move to draw the wea-
pom, when one of the Union men with
deXterous sweep of the lasso, caught him by the
neck and ierked him from his horse. His three
companions at once attacked the one who had
thrown the lasso, and a free fight enSued.-
Three cut of the four Secessionists were un-
horsed in the conflict, and the horses run Off
One of them received wound in the right eye,
from which it is supposed he will lose bis sight.
They at last called for quarter, and the matter
was settled by stipulation" by the entire
eight giving three lusty cheers for the
Union and three more for Abe Lincoln, and
the Union men riding after the fugitive horses
and bringing them back to their owners. Some
of the party have expressed themselves as
4darned glad that none of the Union men
heard about it, or they might have put in their
paper Sac Union.
If some of them practice what the preach,
they viii find themselves unhorsed with lasso
attached to a limb ofa tree, too short to admit
Of their toes touching the ground.
