THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1861.

For GovERNOR.-Th Breckinridge-Ss'
cessiOn Convention have nominated our
fellOw-townsman, John r. Mcconnell, for
Governor. Mr.. Mcconnell is lawyer OF
fine ability, of undoubted integrity, and
will perhaps make as available candidate
as the Secession party could have put In
the field. AS lawyer be has no snperior'
in the State; but independent of his seces
son prOclivitiss, be has not the we'll bal
anOed mind to Gt him for the position OF
Governor. Mr.. Mcconnell is native Of
Kentucky, resided in Illinois for some years
before coming to California, and is rela'
tive of JEFF. Davis.

THE WAR NEws.-The laet Pony brought
meagre installmCnt of war news. This is
probably owing to the fact that Gen. Scott
has placed an embargo upon the sending OF
sensation dispatches from the seat of war
No mention whatever is made of the con-

The SPIRIT OF SECESSION Knox
vile (Tenne'See) Whig. Of June 22d, char.
ges that deliberate purpose had been
formed by secessiOnisis in that place. to at
tend the Union meetingsin in East Tennessee,
with a select company Of assassns under
the command Of o special officer, who were
to get up row at each place, and shoot the
Union speakers aud leaders, commencing
with Andrew johnson. This was to be done
in such way as to render it impossible to
tell who began it, or who fired the fatal shot.
The Whig has the name Of the 'OfHcer" who
was to head this murderOus band, and ap
peals to Gov. Harris for the truth of the
charge, and for further proof. II appears
that Gov Harris opposed this crusade Ol
assAssins. This is the mild and pacific spirit

NOVEL INSURANCE COMPLNY.-The San
Francisco Sugar Refining Company have
organized the foremen Of various depart
ments in their works into fire brigade and
insurance company. These employees
twelve TO fourteen in number. are mostly
persons who have saved money and insure
the Company's premises and stock in vari-
Ous sums, from $500 to $4,000 each, upon
which the company regularly pays premi-
ums of insurance, as to any other company.
The idea is a novel one, and we should
Judge the adoption of o similar policy would
be advantageous TO all large manufacture
ing establishments. BY this means, the
principal employees, by being personally
interested, would be likely to guard more
carefully against accidents by fire.

CHARGES AGAINST SECRETARY CAMERON.
Serious charges sre made by Republican
papers against Secretary Cameron. So far
as We have seen, the charges are made by
personal enemies of Cameron, and by pa
pers that never omitted an opportunity to
injure him politically but for all that we
are inclined to place some reliance in the
charges. The following is a specimen from
the Cincinnati Commercial, whose editor
writes from Washington to the following
effect:
The War Department has done very poorly,
considering the tremendous resources placed at
its disposal. The momentum of the North has
done the work thus far, by forcing through the
War Department the necessary measures. The
administrative ability required in this emergen-
cy has been wanting. 1t is hoped that whole
some change in the Cabinet may be brought
about soon by the removal of Cameron and
Weles, from the War and Navy Department,
who are very far behind the times.
No one ever suspected Cameron Of honesty,
but there were hopes that he had business ca
pacity, and that in the position Of Secretary OF
war, in these times, he would make reputa-
ton for integrity. In truth. however, he is very
incompetent. The greater portion Of the really
important business Of his Department is per-
formed by General Scott and Secretary Chase
Cameron attends to the stealing department.
He has swarms of relatives about him, sons,
brothers-in-law, and all that sort of thing. One
of his sons is said to have made twenty-five
thousand dollars on a single horse contract, and
the details of the transaction justify the opinion
tkots eta ii 6tohA
the matter.
After referring to swindliDg transactions
in Pennsylvania, the writer concludes by
saying it would be q greater advantage
than TO gain a battle, to have Cameron
kicked out of the Cabinet.

DAMAGES TO BE PAID.-Gen. Mcdowell,
in command Of the principal body of Gov.
