charge of Judge Catron.

,r. make the following extracts from the
-,,a y" charge of Judge CatrOn, of the Supreme
~~.t @ Of the United States, to the Grand Jury
:. gt Louis, Missouri. Judge Catron is a
ntizsn of Tennessee, and was appointed to the
c,nreme Bench by Gen. jackson. He clearly
defines the crime of treason, and crushes the
ues.langled doctrine of State supremacy:
"The Constitution and laws of the United
States are the supreme law of the land,
anything in the Constitution and laws of any
State to the contrary notwithstanding" Their
supremacy is thus declared in express terms
Whatever conflicts Herewith has no operative
or obligatory force. Allegiance to the United
States, and loyalty to the United States Con.
stitution and laws, are the paramount duty oil
every citizen. Within their Legitimate sphere,
they command the obedience OF all and no
State Constitution or statute can absolve any
one therefrom.
"To constitute an actual levy of war there
must be an assembly of persons met for trea-
sonable purpose, and some overt act done, or
some attempt made by them, with force, to
execute. or towards executing that purpose.
There must be present intention to proceed
in the execution of the reasonable purpose by
force. The assembly must now be IN condl-
ton to use it. il necessary, or to aid, or to ac-
complish their reasonable design. If the as
sembly is arrayed in military manner for the
express purpose Of oyerawing or intimldatiDg
the public, and TO attempt to carry into effect
the reasonable design, that will of itself am
cunt to levy of war, although no actual blow
has been struck, or engagement has taken
place"
j." Furnishing rebels or enemies with money,
arms, ammunition or other necessaries, will
primd fdcie make man traitor"
Surrendering a castle to rebels, being in
confederacy with them, is treason under the
clause of "levying war;" and so would be
the holding against the Government of any Of
its forts, arsenals or ships of war; or attacking
the same, or treacherously delivering them up
to the rebels" In the exercise Of constitu-
tional authority and supremacy, the United
States Government has legal right to send
its troops into any State or Territory of the
United States, and to keep them there and
any attempt by hostile force, through VIC
lence, or by assembling in military array, ol
in the posture of war, to keep such troops Out
Of such State. or Territory, or to drive out
those thus already there, or to oppose theil
marching. sojourning or remaining in sucI
State or Territory; or any assembling of arm
ed men in military array, or with a warlikt
appearance, Or in force for such reasonable
purpose or aid or assistance given to thost
engaged in such reasonable attempt, know
ingIy and with the intent to further their trea
sOnable design, would be treason against thC
United States"

Rock DRILLING MACHINE.-We examined
yesterday, a rock drilling machine, designed
for blasting in tunnels which was invented by
Mr.. John S. French, of this county The
machine was manufactured at San Francisco,
and is designed for use in the Nevada Quartz
Mining Co.'S tunnel. 1t works on the princi
pie of the hand drill, and with it one man can
easily do the work of three men. The drill is
turned by machinery, and by means of lever
power, man can strike with one hand much
heavier blows than with an ordinary sledge
The machine we saw was designed to work in
tunnels. but they can be so constructed as to
be used in qnarrying hard rock. We have no
hesitation in pronouncing it one of the most
labor-saving machines ever invented in this
State, and destined to supercede the hand
drill in blasting in tunnels. Mr.. French, we
learn. has secured a patent, and we hope his
invention will secure him a fortune.-Neuadd
Democrat.

SECESSION PAPER.-The Union Advocate
is informed by Mr.. Steele, that he intends
starting genuine Secession paper in the town
of Auburn, Placer county, entitled the States
Rights Journal. What the object of publish
ing paper of that character in California is,
we are at loss to determine, unless it be to
enaame the public mind to fighting pitch, and
inaugurate a civil war within our borders 1t
is evident to the most obtuse intellect, that the
people of California are strongly ard irrevoca-
bly, attached to the Constitution and the
Union, and viii stand by them at all hazards
forcibly if necessary. If in the face of this
fact, the Secession elements of the State. per-
sisting in promulgating treason, and reviling
the Government and men who stand bv it
bring on civil war which they effect to 50
much dread, it will be an act asctibable 10
themselves alone. The consequences of which,
are foreshadowed upon the prairies of Missou-

Gen. GEORGE MCCLELLAN-1h most bril-
liant officer now in the field, of regular military
training, is Philadelphian by birth and resi-
dence. Gen George Mcclellan is the second
son of the late DR.. George Mcclellan, of this
city and the brother of our fellow citizen, j +.
III. b. Mcclellan, NJ. D., of Walnut street
Gen. Mcclellan has been repeatedly spoken of
as from Woodstock, Connecticut. His father
was from Woodstock, and after graduating at
Y ale College, in 1915, he settled in Phiadel-
phla, in 1917 where he resided until his death
in May l847. He married. in 1921, into one
of the most influential families of Philadelphia
and his second son is the distinguished General
now in command of the Western section of our
army, of whom our citizens will hear further
before long. The family is of Scotch ancestry,
of martial spirit, and have always been oppo-
sed to oppression. One of Gen. Mcclellan s
ancestors was 10 the battle or CuIoden, and
his great-grandfather was General Samuel
Mcclellan, of the Revolution. At the early
age of twenty, then a Lieutenant, Mcclellan
went out with the sappers and miners in the
Valley of Mexico, in the war of 1916, which
terminated in the capture of the City of Mexi-
CO. and the promise of bis youth has been more
than confirmed in the successful career of his
yet early manhood-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Mr.. CRIrrENDEN's VIEws-Before the ad-

leave to submit resolutions, declaring that the
present civil war had been forced on Us by the
disunionists of the Southern States now in re-
bellion against the Government of the United
States that in this national emergency Con
gress, banishing all feelings of passion and
resentment. will recolect their duty to their
country that war was not waged for conquest
or subjugation, or for interfering with rights
and equality and that. as soon as the object
shall be accomplished, the war ought to cease.

TRAGEDY AT MARYsyuLE.-On Saturday
last, desperate tragedy was enacted at the
st. Nicholas Hotel, Marysyille. The circum-
stances are related by the Democrat as fol-
lows:
man by the name of Morgan had been in
the employ OF another named Boyce, for year
or more IN Shasta. A few days since Boyces
wife left her husband, taking with her their
children, two little girls, aged about three and
i've years, respectively, and went to Oroville,
where she met Morgan, and they passed as Mr.
and Mrs. Smith. Day before yesterday they
came to Marysville and put up at the United
States Hotel, as Mr.. and Mrs Jones. Boyce
followed them, and arrived here in the Shasta
stage, night before last. Learning the where
abouts Of the guilty ones, he procured a war
rant from Justice Lucas, and on repairing to
the hotel, found Morgan occupying the position
which legally belonged to him. Morgan was
placed under arrest, and the woman and chill
dren were taken to the St. Nicholas Hotel.
Just before Morgans examination commenc-
ed, yesterday morning, the parties being in the
Nicaragua Saloon, Boyce attempted to shoot
him over the shoulder of Constable Stewart !;
but Stewart caught the pistol, and it was dis
charged without doing any damage.
About IL o'clock A NJ, Boyce went to the
room of his wife, in the st. Nicholas, accom-
panied by two other persons who stayed few
minutes and left. As soon as they were gone
he drew six-shooter and fred two shots at
his wife, one of which went into the ceiling
and the other into the floor The woman then
got by him through the door and ran down the
hall, followed by the youngest daughter
Boyce ran after them and fred again, hitting
the little girl in the right shoulder, the bullet
passing around and lodging just under the skin
above the left shoulder blade. the wound is
not dangerous one. The woman then ran
into a room where was a lady with young
child in her arms, and grasping the lady held
her tightly. Boyce followed, grasped the lady
by the arm, and reaching over both shot his
wife in the back, the ball entering near the
left shoulder blade and ranging downwards.-
An elderly lady, who had heard the firing,
rushed in at this juncture, and seizing his arm,
held him till Mr.. Whitcomb arrived and took
the pistol away faom him. Last night the
woman was considered in critical condition,
and the surgeons had not succeeded in finding
the ball. Boyce is in jail

LATE AND INTERESTING NEws.-The Marys-
vile Express learns from a private source that
the General Government contemplates pounc
ing upon the mineral lands of California, like
a buzzard on defunct bullock, and selling
them for war purposes. As no such iniorma-
ton as the above has yet reached this coast,
through any public channel, it is evidently an
electioneering roorback, concocted in Secession
circles for the purpose of catching the votes of
scary miners, and is entitled to about as much
credit as the one emanating from the same
quarter short time ago, to the effect that
England contemplated sending naval force
to blockade the ports on this coast.

were taken out of the company when it started
for Columbus, Ohio but the little fellows
were not satisfied. They ran off and walked
over two hundred miles, and are now in their

that he also has gone to Harpers Ferry. We
