Eyna to be married to a merchant away

for prince might have chosen her for her
peerless beauty; but how could they do

ANOTHER UNION CONVENTIONAL call has
been issued for another Convention to be
held at Sacramento on the 10th of June.
1t is understood to have originated with q
a number Of Union men Of San Francisco,
who are dissatisfied with having the Union
sentiment Of the State divided at the COM
ing election. We have no knowledge as to
who the parties are that have issued the call,
but so far from uniting, another Conven-
tion will only have the effect to still further
divide the Union sentiment of the State.
All parties who are really Union men, and
who believe the maintenance of the Nation
al Government TO be Of more Importance
than the Chicago Platform, can consistently
unite in the call issued by the Committee
presided over by Joseph P. Hoge. We
make no objections to the general views
euunciated by the gentlemen who issued
the late call but their efforts to consoli-
date the Union sentiment will only result
ia further divisions.

A PREDICTION FULRILLED.-Some months
ago letter written by Gen. Wool was
published, in which the old veteran stated
that if Fort Sumter should fall into the
hands of the secessiOnists 100000 men
would volunteer to wreak vengeance on
the traitors The prediction is more than
fulfilled. The volunteers offered the Gov.
ernment in the Westarn States alone exceed
that number by nearly one-half.

Fighting at st. LOuis-Thirty Persons
Reported Killed.

The Pony arrived at Fort Churchill, on
Tuesday evening, with advices from St.
Louis to the 18th inst The following is from
the Unions dispatch:
The most important affair last week was the
capture of Camp Jackson, at st. Louis, by Uni
ted States troops. There was a fight between
the troops and the mob, resulting in the killing
of several citizens and soldiers. There was
great excitement in consequence. Eighteen
persons in all were killed at Camp jackson,
and twelve wounded.
Saturday was a most exciting day in the city
of st. Louis, mobs paraded the streets every
hour threatening death and destruction to the
Germans.
At five o'clock ON Saturday afternoon a corps
of U. S. reserve guards marched up Walnut
street, towards their armory, and were attacked
by the mob. Three of their number were killed.
The soldiers wheeled, returned the FIRE, and
killed three of the mob and wounded several.
After half an hour Of severe fighting the mob
was dispersed. Crowds paraded the streets on
Saturday night, with the ayowed determination
of destroying the lives of German citizens. 1t
is reported that six Germans were killed on
Franklin Avenue at late hour Saturday
night.
Gen. Harney arrived in the city of st. Louis
on Saturday and assumed command OF the Mil
itary Department West. He Immediately is
sued proclamation calling on the citizens to
preserve peace, and threatening to declare mar
tal law if the municipal authorities are not suf-
ficient.
General Frost and command who were taken
prisoners, have been released on parole by
taking an oath not to fight against the U. S.
Government.
The Missouri Legislature passed several bills
on Saturday, the nature of which is not known.
1t is thought secession ordinance was passed.
The Governor and Legislature of Missouri are
greatly excited for fear that the United States
troops would march to Jefferson City.
Bridges were burned on the Usage river to
prevent the passage of troops. The city of st.
Louis is comparatively quiet to-day.

PRIvATEERING Commemorative or three
authenticated instances of privateering are
reported The schooner Frank Lucas, Capt
Taylor. arrived at Fall river, R. l., on the
29th ult. The captain reports that he was
chased by three vessels off the eastern shore
of Virginia. Muskets loaded with balls
and buckshot we're fired at bis vessel, but
the shots did little damage. There were
four or five other schooners in company
with the Frank Lucas, but Capt. Taylor
does not know what became of them. A
schooner belonging to FreetOwD, Mass, was
fred on lately while coming out of Charles
ton harbor. The ball passed through the
bulwarks and the galley, aud wounded the
cook in the leg.

THE WYOMING OFFIoERs.--Fears are en-
tertained of the action of the secession off,
GERS who command the steamer Wyoming,
which left San Francisco some days ago.
Capt. Lapidge, Of the mail steamer ST.
Louis, which left on Tuesday, Informed a
friend that he bad serious apprehensions of
being attacked by the Wyoming. We also
stated that he was'fully prepared, and that
his steamer would never be surrendered.
There were but few passengers on the
steamer, who are nearly all men, and went
prepared for piratical attacks.

The following is an extract from a pri-
vate letter, written at Charleston during
the bombardment of Sumter, to gentle.
man in New York:
1t is impossible to ascertain with any cor
rectness the amount of damage that he has
done, as all the accounts which have come up
are particularly biassed, coming as they do
from their own camp; but | accidentally over
heard confidential talk, in which one who had
come up from the batteries admitted that thirty
had been killed at Fort Moultrie, besides a
great many wounded. The news from Morris
Island is that none are hurt, but how unrea-
sonable to one who has witnessed the incessant
firing is this statement.

THE LATE EARTHQUAKE IN CHnL-We
have received letter from Mr.. Robert Liv'
ingston, who resided some years at Gold
Hill, in this county, but is now living al
Valparaiso, in which be gives some partic'
ulars of the destruction of Mendoza and
San Juan, by earthquake, on the goth
of March. Mendoza contains about $4,000
inhabitants, aud accounts heretofore re.
cei we'd. state that about 5000 we're killed
The letter isolated April Sd. The writer
says:
"On the Goth ult., at 3:45 P. NJ, we had a
very severe shock of an earthquake, which lasted
about minute and half, but without doing
any other damage than causing people to run
out of the houses, which is the first thing done
in cases of earthquakes. On the 23d we re-
ceiyed word that by the same shock, the town
of Mendoza had been completely destroyed, and
about two-thrds of its inhabitants killed. We
were in doubt at first about the disaster being
so bad as represented; but later arrivals from
there not only confirm the sad news, but bring
the additional intelligence that the town of San
Juan, about eighty miles from Mendoza, was
also destroyed, and that the river of that name
was raised up and swept everything away. The
news is very distressing. One correspondent
states that the cries of those who were buried
in the ruins we're most heart-sickening; that
there were not enough left to give all assistance,
and that the country people, instead of aiding,
were robbing the survivors and making off with
their booty. The Government has sent assis-
tance, and at Santiago and here subscriptions
have been got up for the heneft of the survi-
vors; besides, physicians have gone from both
places to the assistance of the wounded. 1t is
expected that other towns in the vicinityof Men
doza have also been destroyed, but up to this
time we have had no notice"

ARMY ORDERs.-Gen. Sumner has issued
orders restricting leave of absence, and
directing all officers in charge of public
property to hold themselves in readiness,
at all times, TO protect it at all hazards
He says no public property will be surren.

directed that all persons 10 the employment

PIans of the Government.

Whatever plans may have been matured
by Gen. Scott and the Government autbori-
ties for putting down the rebellion, they
will not be known by the public until ac-
tive operations have fairly commenced,
The threatened attack on the Capital COM
PEELED the Government to adopt energetic
measures for its defense, and it is altogether
probable that great battle will be fought
in the vicinity of Washington in the course
of few weeks. But with the ample means
at the disposal of the Government, it is not
probable that Gen. Scott has been occupied
exclusively with measurers for defending
the Capital. He has long head, keeps
his own secrets, and by the time the rebels
have concentrated sufficient force, 10
their estimation, TO take Washington, pre-
parations may be completed for striking
efficient blows 10 quarters least expected.
The rebellion has gone too far, and the
disafecton is too widespread, to be crush
ed out in day, and the late call for troops
aud seamen to serve for three years, indi-
Gates that the Government expects pro-
longed contest But if vigorous policy
is adopted, the backbone of the rebellion
can be broken during the present season,
aud the seeding States placed in q position
that they can harm no one but themselves.
With their ports blockaded and trade cut
off, with neither money nor credit, the rebel
States would not be able to raise second
army when their present forces are disor-
ganized, aud the Government Can go to
work Systematically to retake the forts,
custom houses, navy yards, and other
property that has been seized. This will
require time, and it is probably for this
purpose that large force has been called
out for long term of service.

THE BRANCH MINT.-Mr. Hampstead, the
Superintendent Of the San Francisco Mint,

but refined gold.bulliOn will be received, as
usual for coinage.

GREEK VS.. GRBEK.-Mr. Montgomery of
Sutter, in his speech in the Assembly on Satur-
day, in advocacy of resolutions favoring the re-
cognition by the United States of the indepen-
dence of the confederate States, said:
"WheR Abraham Lincoln undertakes to send
here his Montgomery, of Kansas, he will find
a Montgomery, of California, ready to meet
him."
When he was talking thus he evidently felt
