indignation and astonishment that palod
the cheeks Of loyal men and women, whaD

the Southern Coniederacy, spoke volumes
IN behalf OF Union and Liberty. The pr.
walton that these men had undergone a.

the worn aud taltered appearance OF their
clothing. Nearly all the men were withonI
coats-some with bare shreds Of shirts
others with pants worn threadbare-while
some were even without shoes. MANY of
them had their guns with them, which they

BE CAREFUL HOW you SwEARIA man was Was
conv;cted Of periury, in Stockton, last week, for
having given to the Assessor, under oath, the
value Of his personal property at $3.50, when he
was worth several thousands.
We have heard Of persons who in swearing to
the value of their personal effects, rated the pro-
perty at onehalf or onefourth its real value and
excused themselves upon the plea, that the pro-
perty ,cas worth that much, and consequently
they had not committed perjury in swearing as
thew did. 1t will be seen, however, from this
conviction, that the law demands that the lndlvi
dual taking the oath, shall swear to the ful
value of his effects, and where it can be estab
lished that the property holder has sworn to
false estimate, he shall he deemed guilty OF per
jury, and punished by Imprisonment in the Penn
tertiary.

MANNING CALIFORNIA FoRTs.-The Pony which
arrived on the 18th inst. brought dispatch from
Gen. Scott directing the immediate occupation
of all the San Francisco Harbor defences by
United States troops, within two hours after re-
ceipt of orders. The Fort at Fort Point was
garrisoned by one hundred U. S. soldiers. Fort
Alcatraz is also strongly garrsoned.
What crotcbet has gotten into the head Of our
brave and patriotic Lieutenant General with re.
ference to the necessity of this move, we know
not; but this we can say, that California is loyal
to the Union, and neither the outgoing or incom-
ing Administration, need have the slightest fear
that secession ordinances will ever be passed bv
our people, or that they will attempt to seze the
Pacific forts and arsenas

What pity that thirty-t two of the States do
not quietly, and in good nature, agree to let
South Carolina 60 out of the Union. We are
decidedly in favor of letting her have her revolu-
tonary burst out. Agree to all her terms give
her the Forts within her borders; let her collect
the customs at her ports of entry give her any
Federal Territory within her bounds; Ctisnt
worth curse,) in fine, let her have her own way.
When she is made a foreign State, has to pay for
her mails, pay her Postmasters, her Custom
House officers, build and pay for Navy, pay her
Ministers to Foreigns Courts. and foot all the ex-
penses concomitant upon an independent sover-
eignty-and that too by direct taxation, for the
customs entered at her ports have hardly paid
the officers appointed to collect them-for one
year, she will have one of the worst kind of
political headaches, feel penitent and sorry, hang
Rhett and few other of her leading fe-eaters,
ask admittance once more into the Federal Un-
ion, and promise never, never more to kick her
secession heels, which promise she will faithfully
keep-untl the coming generation of hotspurs
grow old enough to eat fire.
AS to Virginia and other conservative southern
states attempting to reason with the little traitor
through the medium of commissioners, it is sub
timely ridiculous She esteems all such attemp is
