The Crisis has Arrived.

Civil war has been inaugurated by Seccs-
zion traitors. The blood Of Americans, shed
by fratricidal hands, calls Jefferson Davis and
his followers to a reckoning. The Secession
authorities, upon refusal by Major Ander-
son to surrender Fort Sumter into their hands,
have taken the fort by superior force. The
flag of the Union is displaced by the rattle
snake emblem Of South Carolina and her ac-
completes Tired of waiting for hostile acts
on the part Of the Administration, the insane
adherents of the Southern Confederacy have
themselves opened the war. Where will it
end? Not in the humiliation of the loyal
citizens Of the United States. The hands
that wantonly precipitated this country into
all the horrors of civil war can never subdue
the friends of tho American Union.
The article upon the subject of civil war
in another column, was written before the
receipt of the Pony news. Its tone need not
be altered. The true condition Of things was
as it were, felt by Union men every where
before this. The destructives Of the rebel
States have never wanted peace. They only
sought to buy the border States over to their
cause, by waiting for the Federal authorities
to attempt their subjection. Anti-coercion
has been made the burden of their song. But
peace reigned too long to please them. The
thirst for blood could be restrained no longer.
War has been commenced against us by them,
and it is stated that formal declaration of
war is to be made by the Southern Conspira
tors Congress. Nop how do men stand in
California There are but two sides to this
fight Every man is either for the Union or
for the Southern Confederacy.
We are part of the Great Amarican Re
public Who in our midst is an enemy to the
Government? Who will have the insoence
TO proclaim himself traitor, by publicly de-
Tending the assailants of Fort Sumter? If
anv such there be in this vicinity, let the
next United States Grand Jury for the
Northern District Of California be informed
of the fact. The Federal laws, including those
ngainst treason, can be enforced here. Let
this be remembered.

The same paper, alluding to the late pur-
chase by the Dsunionists, of a controlling
interest in the Richmond Wing, strong
Union paper, and the subsequent ousting, by
the new proprietors, of the able Union editor
Mr.. Ridgeway,-says;
The Unionists of the Legislature and Con-
vention have, however, promptly raised S2o,
900 TO start new Union journal There, WIN
Ridgeway at its head, and ere the end OF the
week will doubtless have raised $4,000 more
for it (the sum required to give 1t a far start)
and will also have secured it subscription
list paying $4,000 per annum. Suoscrlp-
tions were made to it in Alexandria alone
Yesterday to the extent of eight hundred dol
lars for the first year. The Whig has been
sustained alone by the Union party of the
State, and the change of its colors will in
stantly strip it of its late fourishinS business,
when it will have to share the meager pa
tronage of disunionism, now starving the En-
auirer and Examiner. 1t is clear to our mind
that from the first week of its publication
three -fourths of the business of the Wing will
be transferred to the new Richmond Union
journal, which will speak the sentiments Of
those who have patronized the Wing up to
this time.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24rH.

A large crowd attended the races to-day
and much betting was done on the track

willing to pile up on their favorite punctually
At the time appointed the horses were called
up for the advertised trotting race, for

in five, and following entries were made:
Q. Fuller entered b. h. McDougall.
Ab. Johnston entered b. G. Frenchman.
Lee MCGOWAN entered b. g. Lottery.
I. S. Smith entered b. m. Angeline.
After two false starts, the horses came up
even and the word was given and off they
went at lively gait This heat was well
contested, Lottery taking and keeping the
lead until coming down the home stretch,
when MeDougall let out link, and then
there was some lively footing. Lottery here
broke and McDougall was round and footed
up Lottery beautifully, and came home win
ming the heat in 3O9t Lottery second, An
gcline third, and Frenchman fourth.
SECOND HEAT
The horses occupied the same position as in
the first heat, Lottery III the lead, and keep
ing it at least fifty yards ahead. McDougall,
at the half-mile pole, cut his quarter, giving
the heat to Lottery, although it did not seem
possible for him to win the heat had he not
done so. We speak of the heat, not the race

IMPORTANT IF TRuE.-It is rumored that
the Breckenridge State Central Committee
will shortly issue another address, opposing
the forcible retention of the National Capt.
tai, by Lincoln. if the same is objected to by
Davis. OF course the seceders must not be
prevented from carrying out any whim their
lunacy may dictate. They must not be "co-
creed" That would bring bloodshed, where
as peace must be maintained If jeff Davis
asks the surrender of the Federal Capital,
and the national archeves, and threatens a
fight if peaceable surrender is not made,
"must we have war ?-war between broth
