Cnltfornn and the War.

The San Francisco correspondent Of
the New York Times writes as follows:
The vigorous measures taken by Gen.
eral Sumner to put this and the adjacent
posts in a complete state Of defence, has
completely crushed every hope Of the
Scccssiouists. The General has super
intended all of these operations person
ally, and also inspected both forts, the
Presidio and Benica, and everything
has been put in perfect order and the
highest state of discipline. The'PeoPle
are delighted with him, and no man ever
won so many firm and staunch friends in
so short a space of time. He has in
spircd confidence in the Government,
restored its credit, and made US all feel
its stability and strength.
There was for a time great danger Of
a revolution, and long before it was
suspected an organization was under
way, and the thing was progressing Gue-
ly. The Secessionists were in good
spirits, and thought things were going
all their own way. They met on the
corners and talked loudly of the strength
and rights Of the South; but alasl how
their tone has changed, Since the en-
crgotio measures taken by General Sum
ner, and the reinforcement Of every eX-
posed position, they have subsided into a
State of gloom most pitiable to behold;
and so completely has the Union feeling
overwhelmed them, that they are leav-
ing as fast as they can get the means,
and to day they could be gathered in a
nutshell.

the dying statesman if he had any mes
