Two SIDES TO THE CAsE.-In his speech be-
fore the Secession State Convention, Judge Shat
tuck said:
at has not been known before, in any coun-
try supposed to be free, that in city where the
laws had not been suspend. d, where the Courts
of the United States we're clothed with full power,
where the Marshal of the United States, with his
baton, stood ready to do his Office, that man
should be taken. not by warrant, but by mill
tary despotism, from his private family and shut
up in prison without ball."
Nor was it ever before known in any country
supposed to be free," that while the laws OF
that country were in peaceful and impartial op-
eration-its Courts prepared to do equal and ex-
act justice between all classes of citizens-that
treason has attempted unblushingly to overthrow
both. The text which the gentleman uses is the
best commentary upon his own language. Il
was just because this country was SO free; its
laws in such admirable force; and its Courts
prepared to execute their full duty, that treason
is left without an excuse, and traitors without
justification.

SELF-CoNDEMNING.-Po of the speech
of Tod Robinson, at the reassembling of the
State Secession Convention, are a terrible de-
nuncation against the leaders of the Southern
rebellion. although intended to have quite diff
ferent Specification. Hear him:
"More striking still-a free, constitutional,
Republican Government, has been subverted.
The principles of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence have been disowned. That instrument
declares that Government is instituted for the
purposes of protecting us-protecting life, liber-
ty, and the pursuit of happiness"
And the Government had never failed to pro-
tect us in the enjoyment of all these blessings,
when a band of conspirators and traitors raised
their impious hands to strike it down.

THE WAR NEws.-Gen. Scott's anaconda
is tightening its folds. At last accounts the
grand army had advanced upon the foe in
three formidable divisions. Davis and Beau
regard are in for it. They will be compelled
either to fight, surrender or retreat. Doubt
less bold stand will be made, and decisive
battle fought. The action at Bills Run in
dicates that the rebels are determined to
measure their strength against the Govern
ment troops. Should they decline the en-
counter, the moral effect upon the Southern
people will be as disheartening as though
they had suffered actual defeat. To this
complexion thair desperate fortunes will
come at last; and whether they succeed in
maintaining their ground at Manassas juno
ton, or Richmond, or any judcously select
ed point, it will be but a temporary triumph
The determined squadrons of the Govern
ment are encircling them, and escape from
their crushing power is utterly impossible

CONVICT LABoR.-The San Francisco Jour-
nal complains, that Thomas Ogg Shaw, the
great manufacturer of agricultural imple-
ments, is employing convict labor, to the detri-
ment of honest mechanics. This labor is pro-
cured at about SO ceuts per day. The Jour-
nal says:
eve do not propose interference with their
private enterprises; but it is our intention
to combat and endeavor to destroy a system
of under. working which menaces the inter-
ests of large number of industrious citi-
zens. The coopers allege that before
transferring the work to the State Prison,
Dow & Co. allowed them 81 Is for each
whisky barrel manufactured; then the price
was reduced to one dollar, afterwards to 80
cents. At that rate good workman,
working ten hours a day, could earn about
So 40.
at seems like miserable policy for the
State to permit the employment of convicts
in the trades by which large and important
body of citizens obtain a livelihood, and
when every prisoner drives a mechanic from
the workshops, and cuts down his wages to
starvation rates."

Rev McCuLLocH.--We hear of this man
again, and this time his name IN connected
with noble act, which is explained by ne
following item:
Ben. McCulloch was in the engagement
at Carthage with Sigel as before reported.
They took guard of 100 Federals, left at
Neosho, prisoners. The Missouri troops
wished to hang them. Ben. McCulloch
refused to do so, and released them on taking
oath not to bear arms against the confederates,
and sent them towards Springfield, with an
escort of Aakansians, for protection against
the infurated Missourians."

PRoMoTIoNs.-Napoleo was popular with
the army, because the humblest soldier in the
ranks, if he displayed unusual talents or bravery,
was certain of promotion. We are glad to OBJ
serve that this worthy example is being initiated
by our Government. Col. Sgel has been ad-
vanced to the rank of Brigadier General
Other worthy instances have occurred, not now
remembered, rejecting credit upon the system.
Soldiers will risk more, and be actuated by mo-
tives of higher ambition, who feel that honors
are in store for those who exhibit heroism
THE SACRAMENTO U~IoN.-There was time
when the political parties with whom this paper
refused to affiliate, accused it of having no opin.
ions of its own. The same denuncation has
been hurled against other papers of purely in
dependent character, which refused to harness
themselves in the traces of political Juggernaut.
If the accusation ever had force, as regarded the
Union, that time has gone by. This noble paper,
its name imports, is truly Union, of the Union
and for the Union-with all of the fine ability
and immense resources which it can command.
Its circulation, at this time immense, ought to
be quadrupled. The loyal sentiments which it
utters and disseminates among thousands of
readers, meet with cordial response in every
patriotic bosom. Mild, but firm dignifed, but
bold; argumentative and impartial its articles
must command vast influence in strengthening
the Union cause. Recently it has added George
Wilkes to the number of its war correspondents
This is splendid acquisition; and complete as
its summaries of Atlantic news have heretofore
been, the glowing pen of this gifted writer will
spice them with an intellectual SAVIOR which will
give them new interest to Pacific readers

RANDOLPH IN FAVOR OF AssAssINATIoN.-
Edmund Randolph has heretofore been favored
man in California. All parties were solicitous
to claim him, and the people, without respect to
party, would at any time have showed acqui
escence in doing him honor. He was considered
to occupy an eminently conservative position.
But one doubt rested against him. He was too
silent amid the clashing of opinion as to his o,,.-
ions. An honorable man never permits himself
to be doubted, when the opportunities are at hand
for prompt and immediate explanation.
Mr.. Randolph was claimed even by the Re-
publicans. He was proposed by many as suit
able person to return to the United States Sem
ate. The enthusiasm attaching to his name was
repressed in the Republican ranks only because
he was also asserted to belong to the Douglas
Democracy. During all these discussions, Mr..
Randolph said nothing. But he has at last
spoken and his voice, like the foul air of vault
that has long been closed on putrid matter, es-
capes but to sicken, and disgust, and horrify .
He proves himself the boldest and the vilest of
the whole batch of California traitors. He goes
even SO far as to avor and hope for the assassin
at,o', Of the President Of the United States
Was ever so brutal a sentiment before uttered in
free State, among loyal people, and the au-
thor permitted to go unpunished?
Oh, the times are sadly out of joint! They
must be mended. Henceforth let this man stand
accused before the people whose moral sense he
has so audaciously outraged.

THE MEAeRE LossEs.-It is matter of great
surprise, on reading the details of battles be-
tween the Government and rebel forces, that
greater numbers of men are not killed on both
sides. The correspondents tell us, in some in
stances, of the conflict lasting half an hour, an
hour, or two hours, with several regiments of
oops engaged, and yet, with the loss of but five
or six men. A fight took place near Harrison
vile, Mo-, between ITO Federals and 500 rebels
on the 10th of July, which was stubbornly con-
tested and lasted four hours. The rebels lost IA
men, and the Federals but one. Either the vol
unteers are not very good marksmen, or their
weapons are in some manner at fault

We have no doubt the New York Grand

who stand behind it. There is scarcely a
Republican paper in the land than did
not, during the Mexican War, occupy pre-
csely the same position that the New
