The California sports.

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
says
A highly exciting scene occurred at the
White House yesterday morning. About a
hundred citizens of California, including
many leading Republicans, called on the Pre-
sident, TO protest against the interference OF
Senator Baker. of Oregon, with the appoint
ments in their State, and his attempt as, they
claim, 10 foist corrupt and broken-down poll
ticians, of doubtful antecedents,. upon the
Administration, and the people of the Golden
State.
The President had arranged, whether from
love of fun or sense Of justice, has not yet
appeared, that Senator Baker should be pre-
sent, without the knowledge of the protest
ants. They were surprised to be placed face
to face with him, but nothing daunted, their
spokesman, Mr.. Joseph A. Nunes, read a
solemn protest, and accompanied it with an
emphatic. but respectful extempore speech.
After him Mr.. SimontOn, of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, stepped forward and read a
statement, in which he denounced Col Ba-
ker, and the politicians he intended to saddle
upon California, as Federal ofice-h holders, in
unmeasured terms.
The President listened to it quietly, but
after its delivery, walked up towards Messrs.
Mules anu SlmOntOn, tOOk nOiQ OF tneT re-
spective documents, and remarked in sub
stance: "Fhe protest deserves to be consid-
cred, but as to your speech" turning to ST.
monton, ut is disrespectful to myself and Mr..
Baker, and can make no other disposition
of it than this" thrusting it, with the last
word, into the fire.
An intense CONSERVATION prevailed for
some time after this most unlooked-tor pro-
ceeding. SimOnton looked as though he had
been struck with thunderbolt, but finally
recovered SO far as to say 81 have simply
done my duty: 1 have nothing to expect from
the Executive, and in doing what 1 did,
merely meant to protect the interests of my
Staten
After considerable parleying and explain
ing. the material Irritation subsidized, and q
compromise was effected, according 10 which
the President is to confer with a committee
made up of members of both factions as to
the appointments. "a
The affair created much excitement in POI
litical circles. The prompt and decisive ac-
ton of the President lie praised by many as q
symptom OF Jscksolism.
Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-04-03

Much misapprehension exists in the public
mind. in regard to the military organizations
established by the Congress, for the protec-
ton of the Confederate States. We observe
that even the New Orleans Delta has fallen
into popular error-that of supposing that
State troops are, or may be, incorporated into
the Regular Army of the Confederacy: it
spoke, some days ago, of the Zouave Battal-
ion of Louisiana, as having been thus incor-
porated AS we proceed, we shall show that
this is not and cannot be the case.
On making some enquiries in the proper
quarters, we ascertain that aco distinct armies
have been provided for by the acts of the
Congress. They have no connection with
each other !: the mode of offering them is
essentially different; and their terms of SER
vice are dissimilar.
TIE first of these armies is what is called
the provisional Army" 1t is this, to which
the Zouave Battalion and all other volunteer
corps, now in the service of the Confederate
States, belong. 1t was raised by the Con-
gress to meet the pressing exigencies upon
us: and will be disbanded when the emer-
gency shall have ceased, which called it into
existence u is composed of such companies,
battalions and regiments" as have been, or
may be,) turned over to the Confederacy, by
the several States, from their several armies,
or corps of volunteers, with the consent OF
the troops tTdQsl1ITSu. uc ltEm Vi
service is one year. 4 rule Of the War Depart
naent requires these troops 10 be received only
from the several State Executives: they, of
conrse, having previously secured the assent
If the organizations transferred. These troops
retain the organizations with which they enter
the PROVISIONAL Army; Companies, battal-
ions and regiments" remaining such and re-
tanning their officers. But the President has
the right, by law, to appoint certain Field
Officers for this provisional Army'-a right
which he has exercised, in making Brigaders
thereof, of Coils. Bragg and Beauregard, and
appointing Col. Hardee, Colonel OF its Firs
Regiment.
Many acrack' Volunteer companies, not
only from the Confederate States, but also
from the Border States, have sought, iadepen-
deutly, to be incorporated into this "Provi-'
sional Army" but the rule IS uyaerable, and I'M
less they are offered by some one of the Gov
errors of the Confederate States, upon re-
QUESTION from the War Department, they are
not receiped. Practically, the provisional Ar
my is about full: the patriotism OF the peo-
pie was fully up to the mark OF the needs OF
the country. - Sf
