erect OF bringing out our German contempo-
rary. But Grand Juries ought to be more care
full than to commit themselves by presenting
the wrong journal, as the Westchester Grsnd
jury did, or a journal many years dead, as the
New York Grand Jury did. They must try to
keep pace with the age; and if they look sharp
in New York they may find several journals
still living which deserve their attention.

THE ENGLISH ARIsTocEACY AGAINST TIE
UNITED SrATEs-The London Times and its Ame-
rcan war correspondent are equally savage
against the cause of the Union. The Times is
the organ Of the aristocracy and indicates its
wishes and ideas, and Lord Russell and Russell,
LII. D.. are working for the same end. The
British arstocracy desire the destruction of
this republic. They have sent out their armed
vessels to, menace our coast and u large land
force to menace our northern frontier. Recent
intelligence informs us that twenty-five thou
sand five hundred are to be added this month
to the army in Canada, making in all force of
from thirty thousand to forty thousand men.
What do the English government want with all
this land and naval force on this side of the At
lantic, unless to make war upon us or to intimi-
date the United States government from retail
alton when the British feet shall have found
some flaw in the blockade and proceeded to
raise it, or have performed some high-handed
act Of Intervention? Forewarned Is forearmed,
and if with all the warnings we are now receiv-
ing we shall be found mapping at the last mo-
ment, wo deserve to pay the penalty Of our
folly. Eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty.

THE BURNING or THE CArAIINE-THE CASE
IN CouRr.-The evidence which we published
yesterday in. the case Of the burning of the
steamer Catalina, at Fortress Monroe, while in
the service of the government, is sufficiently
curious The facts brought out before the Po-
lice Justice are startling; bat there are other
Developments behind, which, when brought
to light, will probably astound the public II
is very evident from the testimony, that there is
something foul which has not yet seen the light
The evidence, as far as it goes, only touches the
surface This is one of the steamboats, en-
ployed by the Union Defence Committee, and
no doubt the burning Of the Catalina is one rea-
son why their accounts are still unpublished.
Some Of the documents were no doubt lost in
the conHagration, and will never be forthcom-
ing. The present investigation appears to be
fishing inquiry on the part of the insurance
offices, the Catalina being insured for $4,000,
which is said to be considerably more than she
was worth. 1t is alleged she was wilfnlly
burned. On Monday, perhaps, when the inves-
tigation shall have been resumed, we may
throw more light on the subject.

platforms and party shaclles had disappeared
virtually, with the very first blast of the hurri-
cane, and that it would be a vain effort to en-
deavor to revive them again. The action
OF the Peoples Convention has demonstrated
the correctness Of his views. The popu-
lar hat has gone forth in opposition,
on the one hand, to secession and disunion,
whether in the shape of active rebellion, or its
more insidious ally, advocacy Of an inglorious
and dishonorable peace, but also, on the other,
to everything that savors Of abolition, or tends
towards violation of the guarantees OF slave
property provided by. the constitution. The
position assumed by the Peoples Convention is
admirable, beyond praise. 1t commends itself
to the patriotism and common sense Of every
thinking individual. It leaves democratic and
republican wirepullers, hopelessly wallowing in
slough Of helpless corruption, from which
they never can emerge. Itstrikes death blow
at the terrorism of cliques and factions which
has heretofore prevailed. 1t is the beginning OF
permanent emancipation of the industrial
purity of the overwhelming majority against
partial rottenness in the State. 1t will meet
with hearty response everywhere and IL Is
tie commencement of work, the beneficial
effects of which will not end with the present
year. The republican party is gone; the
Chicago platform is annihilated; the democratic
organization is smashed to pieces; disunion and
abolition theories are condemned to equal repro
baton, and o principle is established by which
electioneering machinery will be broken up MS
useless at the close Of each yearly struggle at
the polls, and new men will be brought forward,
each successive year, by the people, to repre-
sent new and fresh and conservative issues that
may have arisen, just as Mr.. Dickinson has been
selected by the Union Convention, because OF
the prominent part he has taken in the main
tenance Of national ideas since the Inauguration
of the war.

WAR ON THE ADMN1srn ALTON CEAsED.-We
perceive that recently the bitter war waged
against the administration by the republican
journals Of New York has ceased, particularly
the onslaught upon the Navy Department. 1t
was all family quarrel. William II. Stewards
friends desired to control the contracts Of the
War and Navy Departments, and were of course
resisted by the heads of those departments.
Hence war of elimination and recrimination
sprung up, which was anything but edifying to
the country or beneficial to the public service.
1t turns out that the fault of mal-administra-
ton lies not 80 much with the heads OF depart
ments as with their subordinates. For instance,
in the War Department, Ripley, Meigs and
Thomas, instead of expediting business, are per-
feet distractions. They are fixtures in Office,
having been in the receipt of pay from Uncle
Sam for thirty or forty years. They are con-
sequently old fogies, behind the age They
might do we'll enough in the past, but
they are not suited to the requirements Of
the present, and cannot keep pace with
the go-ahead energies Of our young gene
rails. The same may be said of Fox and
others in the Navy Department They SO
retard all naval movements by red tape that
they are serious drag upon the wheels Of pro-
gress.
Judging from Mr. Stewards first movements,
we had supposed that everything would go
right in the State Department. of which he is
head. But experience has proved that the same
Encouragement prevails there as in the other
two departments. Instead Of experimenting
his subordinates, he is continually following the
President everywhere, and interfering not only
with his important public duties, but even his
family matters. Hence we can account for his
letting slip the golden opportunity of writing an
effective reply to the important letter of the
Emperor of Russia, instead Of short formal
note with nothing in it. He is keeping sharp
lookout for his own interests as regards the
succession. But he might as we'll save himself
all trouble on the subject. He will never rise
a step higher than he is, and he has no more
chance of being President than he has of being
Emperor of France, while there are twenty
young generals in the army all candidates and
all Of them equal in strategy to Napoleon the
First. The best horse leaps the ditch.

Our TELEGRAPH TO re PAcfFic.-By the LIST
Of January the telegraph to the Pacific across
the plains will be completed, aud thas New
York and San Francisco-the two great COM
nercial cities of the New World--wiH be in COM
mnnication with the rapidity of the lghtning's
wing, and the Golden State and tho Empire
State will ever be united in the ties Of a. fra
ternal Union. 1t had been stated by the seces-
sionists that California would secede, and if she
did not join the Southern States would, in con-
junction with Oregon and the Territory of Wash
ington, form Pacific republic, distinct and sepa-
rate from the United States. But events have
dissipated these hopes and predictions, proving
that California Is strong Union State; and as
soon as the telegraph is completed, brigade,
consisting of three or four regiments, will start
thence for the East following the line of the
wires, in order to take part in the conflict for
the preservation of the Union which is now
going forward on the Mississippi, the Potomac
and the Atlantic coast. If the subjugation of
the rebels should not be completed before the
beginning of the new year, three or four regi-
ments of the enterprising, hardy settlers of Cali
fornia must prove valuable accession to our
army. As for Oregon, tits equally loyal, notwith-
standing the attitude Of Senator Lane. Great re-
lance had been placed by the secessionists on
the cooperation of Ex-Governor Stevens, who
took such an active part at the Charleston Con-
vention. But he is now Colonel of the Seventy
ninth New York regiment in place Of Colonel
Cameron, who fell at Bull rum and the regiment
is now on the Potomac, ready to do battle for
the Union. The Pacific States will stand firm
by the government to the last, and the telegraph
line to the Pacific may therefore be regarded as
a highly important enterprise.

the Executive might properly be extended.
Then neither Of US knew of the scene in
the courtroom, and as she seemed im-
pressed with her ignominious condition, we
advised her to improve the time of her
confinement, so that when she was once
more free she might be able to lead vir-
tuous life. No fear that she would ever
come there again, was her reply; she had
good friend who would heep her from
harm in the future. A little inquiry drew
from her the fact that her lover had made
her his wife, and with a blush that Grim
soned her face, she drew from her bosom
the marriage certificate, saying. with a
smile of joy and hope, "Thank God, I'll
be an honest woman |" Mrs. Foster, the
matron of the prison, and Mr.. Beale,
speak highly of the behavior of the girl
during her Imprisonment, and we are in
formed that efforts will be made to inter-
est the Governor in her behalf.
Certainly she has displayed degree Of
heroism in sacrificing herself to save her
lover that was not to be looked for in one
of her class.
