The GOVERNMENT TAx.-The Visalia Delta
speaks as follows in regard to the tax to be
raised in California next year for the use of
the General Government:
Under direct q. S. officials, the law can be
enforced; but if the collection of that tax be
entrusted to local officers, particularly in
counties like this, where there is not friend
to the Government in Office, it is safe to as
sert that no secesher pays cent. Already
they are boasting of the inability of the Gov
ernment to collect it. Let the State take the
management of it, and the inevitable result
will be that loyalists will pay, disloyalists
will not. and the deficiency will have to be
made good out ofthe State Treasury.
If the State takes charge of the collection
of this tax, it would be well to have the law
on the subject guarded with more than ordi-
nary care. If a collector neglects or refuses
to collect the tax, he should be severely dealt
with, and if any man refuses to pay it, a lit
tie salutary coercion" would be proper.

The FLooD NoRrHwARD.-We are under
obligations to Mr.. Tracy, of Wells, Fargo &
Co., for late news from the North country.
1t seems that the storm was quite as furious
in Oregon as in California. It is said that
there is not bridge standing between Jack
sonville and Portland. Crescent City was
nearly destroyed. The flood took it all.
Mr.. Preston, a lawyer of that place, was
drowned. Wells, Fargo & Co. send their
express hereafter by San Francisco. until
the roads, &C., to Portland are repaired.

CoTToN IN ENGLAND.-The Liverpool Mer-
curry says: g The accounts from India are
more encouraging than those from America.
The India public seem to be at length thor
oughly reused to the Importance of the pre-
sent crisis on the fortunes of India as a cot.
ton-producing country. A very great step
has been made by the introduction of steam
boats on the upper part of the river Coda
very That great river, with its numerous
tributary steams, flows through the most ex-
tensive of all the cotton fields of India
namely, that of Nagpoor and Hyderbad.
The quantity of cotton grown in this district
is immense, and very little of it has ever
found its way down to the sea coast. owing
to the difficulty and cost of transportation
Moreover, the quality is superior to that of
the Surat cotton, and most equal to the me-
dium qualities of American. Mr.. Mercer,
one of the American planters who was en-
ployed by the East India Company to intro
duce the growth of the New Orleans cotton
seed in India, speaking of this cotton, says /:
"All the cotton have seen from that neigh
borhood is of very good quality indeed, and
better cleaned than is usual in Indian cot

SECRETARY OF THE TREAsURY.-The report
of the Secretary of the Treasury is out. 1t
is lengthy document and of great import
ance. Secretary Chase states the manner Of
raising revenue, and gives history of loans.
The revenue receipts do not come up to his
expectations. The aggregate realized from
loans in various forms, says the Unions dis
patch, is one hundred and ninety-seven mill
lions, seven hundred and forty two thousand,
five hundred and eighty-eight dollars. The
Secretary recommends the confscation of all
rebel property. He also recommends fur
ther duty on tea, sugar, etc., and retrench-
ment generally.

GETTING ALARMED.-Since a movement
has been set on foot looking toward the CON-
plete harmonization of all the anti-secession
elements in this State during the coming
Legislature, the secesh sheets haye become
terribly alarmed, and simultaneously set up
amusing to notiee.-Appeal.
The indications are that such harmoniza-
ton will take place on the very first day of
the session-and so it should. The Union
men of California should no longer be divi-
ded, but like our brethren elsewhere, form
one solid front to the enemies of their coun-
try.-Bee.

Fusion in the Legislature.

We have heretofore given our views. and
the views as far as we have them, of those
who in the late campaign in this section
supported Mr.. Conness for the position Of
Governor, in relation to the joining, in the
coming Legislature, of the votes Of allisound
Union men, The proposition meets with dis
favor among the secession sympathisers in
the State -and their coadjutors, the old line,
brass-mounted abolitionists. Generally the
mere consideration that these classes give
their opposition to any measure, per Sc makes
an argument in its favor, and in, this instance,
itdoes seem, that any movement that SO Sc.
cures tine opposition of secessionists and abo-
litionists-traitors alike-should command
the approval of all true men. We believe it
docs. Neither the Republicans, the Union
Democrats, nor the secession faction have
majority in the Legislature, and as there
will be political questions brought forward
in that body, unayoidably it seems to us,
those who are loyal to this Government will
be compelled from the mere accidents of the
hour, if you will, to unite their forces. tits
of no use for party managers to try to pre-
vent it. 1t is time wasted for this, that, or

Gratis, and that faction who are in sympathy

they did not value when they had it. That

SHALL Pox.---This dreadful disease is now
raging in several portions of the State. A
writer in the Bulletin gives asa reason for
its existence, the, fact that pork is eaten to
the exclusion of other meats. There can be
no doubt but that pork is unhealthy, and that
it is consumed on account of its cheapness.
1t can be raised very cheaply in California,
by feeding the hogs on the offal from butcher
shops, dead stage horses, defunct Cinnamon,
&c., all of which swine devror with quite as
much zest as will be exhibited by an old sow

Sc Peace, Democrats.

There are a class of men in this State.
whose sympathies are with the rebellion now.
attempting the overthrow of this the most
thoroughly democratic government the world
has ever known, WHO are eternally yelpiag
that they 9 are Democrats, without having
thesslightest idea of the meaning of the term
employed by them. Let us examine them.
If by Democracy, as is likely, they have ref
erenee to the party of that name, will one of
them turn to the clause in any Democratic
platform ever writtenr anywhere, by any
body, that didn't in its spirit, and its plain
letter, inculcate the idea of loyalty to the
very fullest extent possible? Was there ever
a war in which the United States were en-
gagged that the Democratic party did not
stand up to the country in every event? Was
not the motto Of ''our country, right or
wrong, but right or wrong, our country"
sentiment adopted by the Democracy since
the days of Jefferson and Jacksen? Of the
fathers and founders of tie Democratic par
ty, mention the name of one who ever uttered
sentiment that gives countenance to the pre-
sent reasonable acts. of Secessia, with whom
our "peace" Democrats sympathize. so yiy-
idly. Under what auspices was it that the
boiling faction was ever authorized, in that
party, to presume to give laws to those who
did not bolt? According to every rule ever
established in Democratic councils, was not
the peace -Breckinridgers of last year bolters?
If they are boilers from the Democratic or
ganlzatlon, what right have they to call
themselves Democrats? The jingle of the
name of Democrat dupes many noodle who
never did, and never will know the meaning
of the term. but which, however diffusive its
definition may be, can never embrace an
enemy of the United States of North Amer
lea. There is place paved with just such
" Democrats" as these rebellion sympathi-
sers.

in example rather than precept, and show
his loyalty by taking portion of this loan
We would inform those journals that Mr.
Kings example in this matter has far out

not like the name of the new town laid out

we would say that Dupont or Sherman
would do very well, and at the same time be
something of a compliment to the leaders in
