JORDAN Is HARD ROAD TO TRAvEL-
Humphrey Griffith used to be great favor
ite in Sacramento but he has lost his gripe
He has Joined the Secessionists, and will
hereafter be "under the ban mentioned by
Mcconnell The following is a report o,
Grifith's success at the Mcconnell meeting in
Sacramento, few evenings since. We quote
from the Union:
Mr.. Humphrey Griffith was next intro
duced, and at some length attacked the Ad-
ministratiOn. and was frequently interrupted
by cries and questions from the audience
He had occupied the stand for about half an
hour, when a..
One of the Mcconnell men suggested to
him to "tell 'em about the habeas corpus, "
whereupon the speaker attacked the authori-
ties at Washington on that point. "We1l
suspend jeff Davis, too,"" " Habeas corpus
played out" "Tell about the way they treat
Union men in the South" were among the
responses which greeted him. At last, re-
turning his owledgments to those in
trout of him. he was about to quit the stand,
when person who had listened to his speech
in silence, asked him to answer a respectful
question. "Do you" continued the interro-
gator, sustain the attack on Fort Sumter ?"
Griffith replied: "I have not said anything
about that-not said anything about that !"
and left the stand abruptly.

The Vagaries of the Express.

The Express yesterday devoted a column
to informing its readers of what had been the
contents of its leader the day before 1t had
told them. 50 it sad, that the South lis building
up factories within her own borders for the
manufacture of necessary articles"
So the Southerners have become a manu-
featuring people. In the next paragraph Of
the same article appears the folio owing:
"Another reason why the South will suffer
less than the North, is this The Southern
ers are strictly an agricultural people, while
the North is only partially 30"
So the Southerners are not a manufacture
ing people, but strictly an agricultural peo-
pie. Can we not compromise by calling
them an exclusively commercial people ?
Polonius was not more yielding in his ideas
concerning the cloud pointed out by Hamlet,
than is the Express in its statements concern
ing the resources of the rebellious States.
Camel weasel or whale, whichever you
please said the old courtier. Agriculture,
commerce or manufactures says the accom-
modating Express. Like the boys at the
menagerie. the Bull Run gentry have paid
their money, and can take their choice. 1t
is to be hoped that the South has not gone
into the manufacturing business sn exten-
sively as the organ would make it appear,
for in the same article lower down, it is
shown that the people must starve wherever
there arc factories. What is meat for the
South is poison for the North according to
the veracious journal before us. 1t says:
when commerce is seriously interfered
with ,..and when the factories cease to run, as
is now the case the poorer classes, who live
upon their daily labor are thrown out of
employment. and are thus deprived of the
means of support"
And SO forth, and so forth, etc.

The Dixie Expedition from California.

We stated a few days since that Harry T.
Thornton and Austin E. Smith, who departed
from this State some weeks ago, left the
steamer at Kingston, from whence it was
their intention to proceed in a chartered or
purchased vessel and to make an attempt at
running the blockade, and landing in aSouth-
ern port. We find that we only gave part
OF the story. In the steamer which reliev ed
our State Of those bad citzens-Thornton
and Smith-were goodly number of other
Secessionists, all destined for the Davis En-
pire At Aspinwall they all took a British
steamer to Kingston, and from the latter place
the whole band were to. embarkfor Southern
port. What pity they are not here to vote
for Mcconnell. How many votes would that
individual receive if free passages were Of
tfered to all who would emigrate to "the land
of cotton" before election day? If Smith
and Thornton reach their place of destination
safely. they will, 1Mey can be officers, go to
lighting loyal American citizens because they
hate the United States Government, the
6ioo0 h"Joiioy Vi iIo people, Huu ltS nag.
While they were here many would have
called it very harsh in any one to denounce
them as being Disunionists. Smith is one of
those who signed the touching prayer to
"Charles Lindley, Chairman" thath he would
call new meeting of the Breckenridge Gen.
tral Committee, in order to see if fusion
could not be effected with coercion Demo-
Gratis. The same individual held office under
President Lincoln for several months, and
when he had to leave it, did 80 in q most
unhappy state of mind. Well, the California
peace party has lost some votes, and the
Southern war party has gained some recruits
They have gone with their respective States
California never was their home. When no
more food could be found, the birds of prev
took their flight for other fields. They are
the advance emigration. When the election
returns commence coming in, in September,
the air will be black with the spreading
wings of many more like them, to whose
beaks the carron of office would forever
more be stranger, were they to remain, and
who, therefore, will have sudden yearning
to Join their relatives and friends

ADIEU Pickett, the venomous lunatic,
who has devoted his poorly-trained talents
chiefly in this State to the abuse of decent
people, is trying to beg enough from his "old
time California friends" to get out of the
State with He says to them through the
columns of the Bulletin
announced through the columns Of the
Bulletin last spring, my intention to depart
from this land, at an early day--no more to
return. l find, at length, I've long been
living too far North, for man of my tenn
permanent and IDEAS 1t may be l shall re-
turn to the Pacific, at futuae day, and meet
numbers of you again, but on much more
southern latitude, and under different flag
from any now waving upon this coast.
Frankly to confess the reason that l am
not gone, I've not been able to raise the
funds to pay some debts, and pay my way
away. Deapairing of realizing such necessa-
ry sum from out the wreck of once large
estate, | appeal to my old-time California
friends, with means to spare, to aid me In
my endeavors Major Samuel J. Hensley
will receive such amounts as any may wish
to advance.
Asa people, there is no faith, no heart, no
religion, no patriotism, no love of truth, vir-
tue, wisdom, nor high manhood in California.
All is apathy and deadness, save in the fierce
pursuit of gain, in political chicanery, and in
the incorporate indulgences of the appetite
and passions Therefore, go hence, to seek
home where merit is not bar to favor and
preferment, but the measure of success-in
which a career is open to my genius, and
where | can better serve myself and kind.
In the classic phrase of Zouave we say to
Pickett, be industrious, beg hard, and wher
