PLAIN TRUTH.-The San Francisco Morn
ing Call, in speaking of the qualifications
of the several Senatorial candidates, tells
the plainest and most straightforward truth
about the matter that we have seen:
General McDougall appears to be farther
off from the Senatorship now than he was
before having received the caucus nomina-
ton. Randolph, of course, is out of the
ring, having been beaten in caucus. Den
yer, it is said, is about flying the track, and
some people are so foolish as to believe that
John Nugent may be elected. California
has withstood mary inhictions, but we think
she is not able yet to put up with Nugcnt,
nor McDougall nor Denver, for neither are
fiji men to represent the State in the United
States, nor do we believe either can get
there. If the enemies of these gentlemen
had desired plan to kill them off politi-
cally, they could not have hit upon better
one than that adopted by their friends in
keeping them in the field. Drop them il
they have not sense enough to resign. The
people don't want them!''

A NAME FOR CoTToNDoM.-It has been
proposed to give the Southern Empire the
name of the discoverer of the continent,
upon which the Louisville Journal suggests
that inasmuch as Christovai Colon discov-
cred America, it would be proper to call the
new Southern Confederacy, for which a
name is sadly wanted, "The Colon Repub-
lie" This would also be judicious, for
should the new Republic, in the process of
time, divide, one faction might be called the
" Colon aud the other the " Semi Colon" "
But what if a period should be put to it?

said that an organization is or foot in tbs

connection with other similar organizations
in all portions of the State. We are informed
that there are several military companies
now being enrolled in this city, and that
acquisitions for arms have been forwarded
to Sacramento for the purpose of equipping
the same. All this may portend nothing
after ALL but it bchooves thepeoplc to be on

us who seek to sever our connection with
the Union. and to establish n separate gov

Dissolve the Union Be like France
When Terror" reared her bloody lance
And man became dcstruction's child;
And woman, in her passion wild,
Danced in the life blood of her Queen
Beside the dreadful guillotine
Dissolve the Union Roll away
The spangled flag of glory's day;
Blot out the history of the brave,
And desecrate each patriots grave;
And then, above the wreck of years,
Quaff an eternity of tears.
Dissolve the Union. Can it be
That they who speak such words are free?
Great God. Did any die to save
Such sordid wrctches from the grave
When breast to breast and brand to band
Our patriot fathers freed the land'
Dissolve the Union Ho Forbcar!
The sword of Damocles is there;
Cut but the hair, and earth shall know
A darker, deadlier tale of woe,
Than History's crimson page has told
Since Nero's car in blood e'er rolled.
Dissolve the Union! Speak, ye hills,
Ye everlasting mountains cry;
Shrek out, We streams and mingled rills,
And ocean roar in agony;
Dead heroes leap from glory's sod !
And shield the manor of your God.

TYR. CyRrRy,s BILL.


The bill which Mr. Gurley of Ohio introduced
into the House of Representatives yesterday,
and which we print in to-day's TRIBUNE,
embraces some Of the most important measures
ever brought before Congress. 1t is drawn
with remarkable precision, clcarnes' aud force,
and is certainly as well calculated as any legis-
latiye measure can be to effect the end in view.
What that end is will DO best understood by
the following synopsis OF the bill Section
first provides for the coniscation Of all
the property-real and personal-of all persons
engaged in, or aiding or abettng tho present
rebellion. Section second makes il the duty Of
the President to appoint in each State where,
by reason Of the rebellion, the law cannot be
executed through the ordinary process, q Com
missioner to carry it into effect, and in order
to insure the services Of competent and trust
worthy men, the salary of the Commissioner is
fixed at $4,000 per annum. Sections three,
four and five provide for the taking of adequate
sureties from the Commissioners, for the faith
full periornance of their duties, for their Sc
we're punishment by fine aud imprisonment, for
mayersalion or corrupt conduct, and for the
appointment of the necessary deputies, clerks
and marshas. Section six provides that any
loyal citizen, whose property shall be IN
lawfully seized and sold under this
act shall have full compensation or restitution.
Section seven provides that all slaves of Rebels
shall ba free aud that the Commissioners shall
bear and determine the cases Of all who may
come before him in summary manner, aud II
/ they are entitled to freedom shall grant them q
certificate in the name of the United States,
which shall be conclusive proof Of their law
ful liberation. Section eight provides that
all slaves so liberated may be employed
by the Commissioner in cultiyating the
land coniscated by the United States,
and in other useful labor, receiving
reasonable wages, aud that they may be
employed, if the Commissioner consents, by
the commanding officers of the army at their
discretion, in such service as may best con-
tribute TO the suppression of the rebelon;
also, at reasonable wages, to be fixed by the
Commissioner. Sections nine, ten aud eleven
provide that it shall be the duty of the Presi.
dent, as soon as may be practicable, to take
military possession Of Florida, or of such parts
as may be easily occupied and defended, and
aopoiut Commissioner for that State, vino
shall carry into effect the confscatiOn
aad liberation clauses OF this act, ard sell the
estates of the rebels to loynl purchasers, and
who shall purchase at reasonable prices such
slaves Of loyal masters MS may be offered to
him, paying for them out OF the coniiscated
property of the .rebels, and giving them certif'
Gates of freedom. The President is also au-
thorized, through the Commissioners in other
rebel States, to transport TO Florida tho slaves
of rcbels OF other states, and put them in

! charge of the Commissioner there, whS shall
at Ia. discretion, apprentice them for sue,
terms, long or short not to exceed six years
as he may Judge best, to loyal prOprietOrs o
land, who shall pay them reasonable wages and
give adequate security tSar their good treatment
and proper lodging and susssnSnce. On the
expiration Of their terms of apprenticeship
which, in the case of the most capable and
orderly of the negroes, will of course be short
they will become their own masters, and at
liberty to work for whom they please, and go
where they please within the limits of the
State Of Florida. 1t is furthermore provided,
that Florida shall be held and governed by the
military power Of the United States, until the
President shall be satisfied that the necessity
for military occupation has passed away, when
be shall communicate the fact to Congress, and
recommend tho erection of Provisional
Government similar to those of the Ter
ritories of the United States, or
if there be o sufficient number of loyal white
inhabitants to entitle them to representative
in Congress, he shall recommend the passage
of an act authorizing them to form a State
Government and Constitution excluding Slave
ry. The remaining sections Of the bill provide
for the disposition of the confscation fund,
which is to be used to pay the expenses in
Cured under this act, and to compensate
loyal creditors of rebels and loyal citizens who
have lost their property by the rebellion.
The most novel and important feature of the
bill is that relating to Florida, the effect of
which, if carried out, will DO to create place
Of refuge for the free blacks of the country,
all of whom crn find congenial homes in its hot
climate and fertile lands, the extent Of which
is amply sufficient, without being more densely
peopled than Jamaica or Hayt, to support the
whole colored population of the United States.
In Florida, according to this plan, the
liberated slaves will be beyond the reach Of
molestation from their former masters, or from
oppressive State laws, while there is nothing in
the bill to prevent the settlement there Of
whites who may desire to own cotton, rice, or
sugar plantations, cultivated by free black
labor, or who may wish to reside there for
health or the pursuit of trade or manufactures.

The Message Of Gov. Letcher to the Rebel
Legislature of Virginia the first half of which
We publish this morning. is a most interesting
paper, partly by reason Of its impudence, partly
on account of its charming candor. Only a
few Of the points it contains can be touched
upon: After saying that the people Of bis State
are in no way responsible for the present con-
dition of affairs, aud that they are determined
to have peace on no terms but the uncon-
dtional recognition Of the Rebel COniederacy,
he says that the war must be pushed forward
to the line of the Susquehanna. He then says
that Virginia had for a long time anterior to
tho Secession been making preparations to take
part in the RcbeIlion he further lets Out a
truth concerning Floyd, to whom the Cover
nor expresses the most lively gratitude. lie
regrets that Fortress Monroe is not in the
possession Of the State, bat says that in Janu-
arv last he consulted with an experienced
gentleman, whooassuled him that the Fort could
not be taken by Virginia. So Virginia did mol
try it. lie is exceedingly disgisted with the
attitude of the western part of the State and
strange to say, considers their conduct "with'
" cut justification or excuse;' he soloces HIM
self, however, by threatening grieyous pains
and penalties, to be hereafter sent upon tho
LOYAL men, for whom he affects to blush. The
whole Message is an entertaining document
