An impression gains both North aud South
that National Convention will be called to
settle existing difficulties.

with the Confederate Government especially
since Kentucky issued Uuiou manifesto.

called Union Convention to organize q
provincial government, aud depOse Cover

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1861.
Fon GoyERNOR.-From present appear-

For GovERSoR.-FrOm present appear
auces, the nomination for Governor by the
Fourth of July Convention, lies between
John CONFESS and Eugene Casserly. Gov.
Downey will have few votes, and several
of the northern counties will go for Major
BidwelI. 1t is possible that the friends Of
Conness or Casserly, fading 1t impossible
10 nominate their first choice, may cast
their votes for Bidwell aud thus give him
the nomination, though he does not appear
to have as much positive strength as either
of the other two. We have known Major
Bidwell for many years, aud he is our first
choice of those named in connection with
the nomination. lie is, perhaps, the most
available candidate the Convention can
place at the head of their ticket, and no
man 10 the State would make better Gov
ernor.

The BLoCKADE.-In the course of recent
debate in the House of Lords, on the Amer
lean war, Earl Derby, the leader of the
Tory parry, said it was not in the power Of
the Northern States, If their navy were
three times as large as it is, to efectually
blockade all the Southern ports, and this
opinion seemed to be acquiesced in by
members of the House generally. We do
not know what England would now con-
slider an effective blockade but at the time
of the debate, American men-Of-war were
stationed at the entrance of every Southern
port, rendering it impossible for merchant
vessels 10 enter except at the risk of being
sunk. This has heretofore been considered
an effective blockade, and all that Is re-
quired by the law of nations.

having already been enrolled. Companies
are now forming 10 Butte, San Joaquin,

FORCES NEAR BALTIMoRE.--A cOrrespon-
dent of the Philadelphia Enquirer, writing
from Baltimore, says:
Fort McHenry has never been in such a for
midable condition as it is at present The num-
Der of guns mounted and in position has never
been so great, or the efficiency of the garrison
so perfect as now. An additional furnace for
heating red hot shot has just been completed.
There are 5000 troops within the walls. Six
enormous columbiads were ordered at Pittsburg
for the fort some months ago. The carriages
for the whole six had arrived. Besides the troops
in the fort the following are the other bodies
stationed at different points in Baltimore county.
At Federal Hill, 900 men; at PattersOn's Park
1000; at Locust Point; l,000 at Catonsville,
1000; at Cockeysville, 1900; at the Relay
House, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
500; at the Relay House, on the Northern
Central Railroad, 1000; small bodies at Mill
vile, Phoenix, Monkton and Parkton-in all,
10, 400 men. Six small field pieces were seized
here last evening, and taken to Fort McHenry.

The Position of England.

The MarysviIle Express has happy fac
ulty Of manufacturing intelligence favor
able to the cause of the rebels. In its issue
Of Tuesday last, column and balf Of its
valuable space Is devoted to the relations of
England with the United States, and the
following is fair specimen of the entire
article:
II she England has not already openly and
boldly taken sides with the South, she is, be-
yond much doubt, at this very time secretly aid
ing and abetting the rebellion against the Fed
eral government, which is supported by the
North. She has already recognized the South
ern confederacy as beligerent power, with
right to issue letters of marque and reprisal.
She has already said that under these letters
priyateers may be fitted out in her own ports to
destroy the commerce of the North. She has
also said that her own subjects can fit them out;
and that our Government cannot hang them as
pirates for W
II would be a difficult matter to crowd in
to the same space greater number of say
ings that have scarcely. the semblance Of
truth. Undoubtedly portion OF the En-
glish aristocracy are secretly aiding aud
abetting the rebellion" and nothing would
suit them better than the overthrow of our
institutions. What the British Ministry may
have done secretly we do not of course
know; but as yet they have done nothing
openly In aid of the retels. The decIara-
ton of the Foreign Minister that the sece-
ded States would be recognized as a bellig.
erent power, amounts to nothing more than
that JEFF. Davis privateers would not be re-
garded as pirates in England. But England
has not said that the rebel "privateers may
be fitted out in her own ports;" che has not
said ''that her own subjects can fit them
| out;" nor has she said that tour Govern.
ment cannot hang them as pirates" On
the contrary, the Queen has issued proc
lamatiOn warning British subjects against
taking part in the civil dssensions in Amer
lea; the Foreign Minister has announced
that privateers could neither enter nor
bring their prizes into English ports, and
the Government has determined not to at
tempt to protect their subjects, that may be
caught sailing with jeff Davis letters OF
marque, from the penalties of piracy.
The editor of the Express, aud secession
sympathisers generally, are doubtless very
anxious TO have the European Governments
interfere 10 behalf of the rebels; but they
are not likely to be gratifed.

FATAL ACcIDENTs.-A dispatch from
Yreka, to the Marysville papers, says that
John Bell, who was at work on Scott river
was killed on Tuesday, by u bank caving
upon him. Ed. Taylor was killed yester
day afternoon, by falling from the top of a
pole attached to Wizard Martins Pavilion
He was arranging ropes for the purpose OF
hosting flag when the pole fell, killing
him instantly.

THE REPULsE.-The Marysville Express
calls the repulse of the Federal troops at
Great Bethel, the "llrst battle aud the FIRST
defeat" The Express seems to have for
gotten that seventy Government troops
were defeated at Fort Sumter, by seven
thousand rebels, after fight of thirty-six
hours, and perhaps has not heard of the
surrender of fifteen hundred rebel troops
at ST. Louis. In conducting campaign ii
cannot be expected, that in every little
hkirmlsb, success will invariably attend one
side. and we may expect that advance par
ties of Government troops will be driven
back, not only once but many times, during
the summer. Should the rebels even gain
an important victory, it would only have
the effect to prolong the contest, but could
make no difference in the final result.

STRONG MEN OF CALIFoRNIA.-A gentle
man named T. V. Vanborn, the patentee OF
all improved lifting machine, has been trav-
cling through the State, and as yet has
found but seven persons who could lift
1000 pounds aud over, as follows:
II. II. Miller, Yuba City, Yuba county,
1850 lbs; David lockers, Columbia, Tuolumne
county, 1868 lbs; J. Miller, Stockton, San Joa-
quin county, l,O4Olbs.; E. w. Whitney, Marys-
vile, Yuba county, l,025 lbs.; II. Eastburn,
Sacramento, Sacramento county, l,020 lbs; ].
b. Stewart, Columbia, Tuolumne county, 1902
Mr.. Glouis, Amador City, Amador county,
1000. To these might be added John c. Adams,
of Sonora, Tuolumne county, who, with hardly
any exertion and with only one hand, raised
896 lbs, and who offered to bet from $50 to
500 that he could raise l 100, but could find
no takers.

TREAsoNABLE DEvELoPMExrs.-A Wash

IREASONABLE OEVELOPMbNTS.-A W ASH
ington letter, of recent date, says:
The developments that are likely to follow
the seizure of the dispatches filed in the tele-
graph offices. will astound the country. They
will show a system of treachery extending
through all the grades of official business and
social circles. Almost everybody appears to
have been engaged in giving aid and comfort
to the rebels, and to have furnished means and
information for securing triumph of the re-
belion. Members of Congress from Iree States
figure frequently among these flashes of intelli-
gence. Reporters for Northern free soil papers
handed in to the telegraph Office the knowledge
they had obtained through their free-Soil pro-
fessions. Even the members Of the Peace Con-
gress, and some from free States, held out
words of encouragement to the rebel leaders,
that If they would keep up the fire they would
break the Free-Soilers down. Several of the
members of that Convention from the Border
States, gave regular reports Of its proceedings
to the rebels, while at the same time, they were
insisting that the proceedings should be kept
from the Northern press and public.

BITTEN BY RATs.-A little son of Mr.. Abel
DObson, of this place, aged about six years,
was bitten directly over the right eye on two
successive nights Of last week. The first night
his parents were awakened by his restlessness
and on going 10 him he was found slightly bitten
Just over the eye. On the second night he was
again attacked, and bitten near the same place,
one of the teeth of the rat this time penetr ated
vein, from which the blood spirited upon the
wall against which his bed was placed. He
was promptly cared for, and his bed so place
as to render him less liable to another attack
