GEN. JOHNsToN.-This officer, late CON-
mauder of the Pacific Division, has been
stopping at Los Angeles for The past month
or two, having resigned his commission in
The army. The Sacramento Bee, Of We'd
oesday last. says of him:
We are informed, by gentleman who was
applied to to become one of them, and had en-
tered into negotiations to that end, that Gen.
Johnston, late u. s. commander on this coast,
and party, were to have left Los Angeles on
Monday last for Secessia. The party consists
of l8j men-Wm. w Whitiord, of San Francisco,
captain, and ]. l.. Stevens, of Santa Clara, lieu
tenant. Forty-fve of these men are from San
Francisco, and the remainder, from other por-
tions of the State; and ALL or nearly all, belong
to the knights of the Golden Circle. "We are
for peace" say they, and so says DR.. Scott, "if
we can have our own way" Each Of these lSj
men is armed with a rifle and a six-shooter.
The arms and outf t@were furnished by the par
ties themselves. Every man has two horses,
one to ride and one 20 carry his provisions and
blankets. They go over the Southern mail
route to Van Buren,, Arkansas, and will there
offer their services to the Secessionists, while
General Johnston will enter upon his duties as
rebel General, by virtue Of the commission he
is now said to have in his pocket.

A PRECEDENT.

The action of the British Government in
recognizing JEFF. Davis Confederacy as a
"beIigerent power" with the right TO issue
letters Of marque, ETC., will serve as pre-
cedent for our Government, when, at some
future time, a rebellion breaks out in some
part of the British empire. During the
Canadian rebellion. in 1888, though the
people of the United States strongly sym
patbised with the rebels, our Government
carefully abstained from interfering, and
Great Britain proceeded in her own way to
put down the revolt. Scores of Canadians
were convicted of treason and hung, aud
hundreds of Others we're transported for lie
to the British penal colonies. The same
may be said of the Irish rebellion, which
happened some years later. In both cases
Great Britain punished them as she thought
proper; and though the citizens Of the Uni
ted States generally believed the punish
ments cruel aud unjust, not word of re-
buke was heard from our Government.
But now. when an insurrection breaks out
10 the United States, aud the chief Of the
rebels issues a proclamation inviting all the
cut tbroats aud pirates Of the world to fiji
out armed vessels to prey upon American
commerce, the British Minister announces
that as a legitimate mode of warfare, and
asserts that the hanging of these pirates by
our Government would be nothing less than
murder. II was all right for Great Britain
to hang the Canadians aud Irish, who were
lighting, not for any personal gain, but 10
establish the nationality of their country;
but the United States, in the opinion of
British statesmen, is guilty Of murder in
hanging men engaged in pundering lis
commerce under rebel flag!
When an insurrection again breaks out
in some of the British provinces, she cannot
complain if the United States gives charac-
Ter 10 the rebellion, by recognizing the
province as a "belligerent power"

A VIRGINIA CAPTIVE on FIGHTING OVAL
TIEs.-One of the Virginia soldiers captured
by Lieut.. Tompkin's brilliant dash through
Fairfax Court House, lately said:
"Talk about fighting whew, my God ! One
company of them regulars, or you New York
fellows can whip thousand of our men-by
George, that's so I'll swar it on a Bible. You
ought to have seen 'em. Look heyer, reckon
wanted to get out of the way. Sure's you're
born, they're just like devils-they don't mind
shots. Lord they went down the street, where
they cut an slashed, an shot. Our boys run
like the devil-then, Jerusalem! you ought to
have seen em cut up the street again-like
blue devils it makes my blood cold to think OF
it. They shot every way-knocked us from
our hosses, took our pistols and sabres away
my God, how they fit! Why, sir, I'll swar on
Bible them South and North Carolina fellows
that's with us amt no account. They won't
obey nobody-no discipline-youl lick them
every time"

REPORTED MASSACRE OF The
Mesilla (Arizona) Times, Of May llth,
says:
Report reached this city several weeks since
that Cacheese, head chief of the Chirrichua
Apaches, with one hundred of his braves, had
been massacred in Sonora. We have been un-
able to CLEAN any further details of the matter
or confirmation of its truth. We give the tenor
of the report: These Apaches had gone into
Sonora for the purpose Of making treaty with
Gov Pesqueira, having drawn the vengeance OF
the Americans down upon them by their late
outrages in Arizona, and being hot pressed by
troops and rangers, they probably wished to
provide refuge in Sonora from whence they
might send their war parties into Arizona with
out fear from the Mexican authorities. The
treaty was entered into and feast given to cell
ebrate it, during which the Apaches we're made
drunk and all massacred.

THIEVES ARoUND.-A member of the Sixty
ninth regiment, writing from their camp in
Virginia to the New Yoik Leader, says:
"a most extraordinary sight is visible this
morning, the Virginans of the neighborhood
having driven in hundreds of cattle to the fields
and hill-tops within sight of our camp, to be
protected from the rebel army. In other words
they came to their enemies to protect their pro-
perty from the lawless plunder of their own sol
diers This certainly is a compliment to
Northern honesty, at the expense of the +. +.
VS. and the white trash from South Carolina,
Alabama and Mississippi, who form the bulk
of the 5000 rebels now encamped, it is said,
between eight and ten miles ahead of us, and
awaiting for reinforcements to advance. Poor
devils without tents, and subsisting on what
they can seize by force, giving the shin-plasters
of the c. S. A, as if in mockery of payment
our own discomfort here changes into Sybar-
ite existence when contasted with what must
be their suferings. Off the lines Of railroads,
they are utterly without means of transporta-
tion."

New CALIFORNIA SrBAMER.-The new
steamship Constitution, built for the Pacific

The Constitution is one Of the largest wooden
vessels afoat, her extreme length being 800
feet; extreme breadth, 20 feet 6 inches; tonnage
$500. She is built of white oak and yellow
pine, has four water tight compartments, and is
constructed evidently with an eye to strength
and safety. She win be fitted for sea with all
possible displtch.

Government. They are twelve pound rifed

Spaulding, Samuel d. Babcock, and Henry a.

Cameron of its arrival, and it is at the dispo-
sition of the Government. Each one of the
guns bears the following inscription: "From
loyal Americans in Europe to the United States
Government, 1861"

MBDIATIoN.-The Paris Moniteur of May
18th contains this extraordinary announce
ment:
In consequence Of perplexity into which the
great and powerful cotton interest is now
plunged, it ought not to surprise any to learn
that doubtless very soon an eminent English
statesman will visit the United States to
make pacific proposition to the contending
parties there. 1t will be parsonage towards
whom all eyes will be turned as he undertakes
to perform his task.

RoMAXTIC.-"Ching Foo," the New York
correspondent ofth Union, says two young
girls ran off with the Garibaldi regiment,
from New York, to play vivandieres, and
their stern parents had tremendous
time getting them back from Washington.
Another stout lassie enlisted in the Thir-
teenlh, and was three weeks before being
found out aud untrowcsred. So, too, on
inspection at Washington, over twenty-five
belligerent "gals" we're found in the ranks
Of the Fire ZOuaVes, and cruelty turned to
the right about.

Plot AMONG THE NRGRoRs.-The Mem
phis Avalanche says: man named Fletcher,
living in Columbia township, Randolph county,
Arkansas, divulged last week plot to the citi-
zens, which he had discovered among the ne
groes in that vicinity. The plot contemplated
the murder Of several citizens who they sup
posed had money, and then make their way into
the free States. An investigation led to the
development Of the fact that certain negroes
had proposed to give Fletcher twenty dollars
each to take them to free State, announcing
that their plan contemplated the murder of citi-
zens, the possession Of their means, and their
final escape to the North. The negroes impi-
Gated by Fletcher, twenty in number, were ar
rested. A white man, named Percifeld, found
guilty Of being an instigator in the affair, was
hung, as was also Fletcher, who was connected
with Percifeld,

ARRIVAL OF THE PoXT.-The Pony arriv-
ed at Fort Churchill at eight o'clock tbis
forenoon, with dates from st. Louis to June
20tb. The telegraph was employed nearly
all day in transmitting the news to the
Union and Bulletin, and up to the time Of
issuing our paper, we were unable to OBJ
tain any intimation Of the character of the
news received.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-29

New Pony 1t is stated
by the Bulletin that instructions have been re-
ceived by Wells, Fargo & Co., directing that
only two Pony Expresses be dispatched weekly
after the lst of July, instead of three, as was
anticipated. So it seems settled that for some
months at least, Overland express communi-
cation with the Atlantic States will be only
semi-weekly. This, we understand, is all the
law requires of the Daily Overland Mail Com
pany, but it has all along been understood that
a tri-weekly express would be run, and at 81
per letter there was every probability that the
business would fully warrant dispatching an
express eastward at least as often as every 9TH
eT day.

The ROMANCE or A CELESTIAL KITCHEN
Charles Dickens in his weekly paper is tell
ing curious and cruel stories about Chinese
cookery. When anXious to cook lamb in
the highest style OF art, the Chinese, it is
SAID, build low mud wall, inclosng a space
of two OF three feet across, and another wall
outside, forming circus of about two feet
wide, in which they set pots containing wine,
vinegar, soysaUce, etc. In the inner space
they light a good fire, and in the circus thus
prepared put live lamb. The lamb natur.
ally becomes thirsty from the great heat Of
the fire, and drinks what he finds as he runs
backward and forward in search of means of
escape When the drinks are all exhausted
and dried into the animals flesh, the lamb
becomes exhausted, falls down dead and in a
short time is completely roasted. Turtle may
be prepared, according to the same authority,
by placing it over fire in a pot of water, in
the lid of W hich there is a hole large enough
to allow the turtle to put out his head. As
the water becomes hot, the turtle naturally
thrusts his head out to get at the cooler air,
when he is fed with spiced wine and soy
$ uce, which he drinks readily as a relief
from the heat This goes on as long as he
has strength to keep his head up and as the
turtle does not part with life easily, he sell
dom fails to go on stufling himself until he is
cooked
