FROM EAST FIonpa.-We take the follow
ing paragraphs froP the AIicanopy Cation
States, of Saturday last:
lIoMIclpE-We regret to learn that rem
cuntrc occurred nj Gainesville, on the 18th
instant. between Messrs. w. H. and Green B.
Lewis and A. A. Maulden, ESP, which re-
suited in the death of Mr.. Green 3. Lewis.
We refrain from publishing the particulars as
they reached u.s. The matter will doubtless
undergo judicial investigation at the proper
time.
WILD GAME GAME NATURAL BLESSING
From present indications. the prospect for m
abundance Of wild game in this section il in
deed encouraging. The poor man can. if he
will during the fall and winter odd largely
to his store of provisions with his gun, an ad.
vantage which few people enjoy. : Heaven
smiles propitiously.,
RAvACEs OF AN INrURTATED BoAR.-On
last Friday afternoon, a large boar, on the
plantation Of Mr.. james Slinonton, 4 few
miles from this place, killed one mule, and
lacerated quite badly three other mules, one
horse and a few cattle.
SINGULAR PRoruEcY.-We translate the
following from the Courier des Etats lnis, of
the 10Th ult:
Although many of the predictions made by
Nostradamus Especially those concerning the
deaths Of Henry ~ and Louis NEl) have
been completely verified, they are generally
discredited in our times. But in the Prophs-
lies ct Faticinatioas, of that great man, vol.
ID, edition of l6O9,) VIC find the following,
which would seem 10 deserve some attention:
About that time QSGl) great quarrel
and contest will arise in q country beyond
the scas-America. Many poor devils viii
be hung and many poor wretches Killed ht
punishment other than cord. Upon my
faith you NAV believe me. The war will not
Cease for four years, at which none should be
at all astonished or surprised, for tacre will
be 10 want of hatred and obstinacy in it. At
the end Of that time PROSTATE and almost
ruined, the people will re-cnbracc each o'her
in great joy aud love-
Now, here is something very co%iirmatcry
of the prophetic geni2s of Nostrada'nus, but
in no way consollng to us poor devils and
wretches (puures diaLles etpamrs heres) who
will lave to suffer under this war for four
years. Let us hope that the astrologer was
mistaken at least on this point-South Caro-
linian.

A DAUGHTER OF CALIFORNIA,
TRUE TO OUR UNION
Daily national Democrat., 1861-05-23
Another Union State Convention Pro-
DOSed.


An able and pataiotic Address to the Pco-
pie Of this State is being circulated for the
signatures of unconditional Union men, iu
which Mass Union State Convention is re-
commended to meet at Sacramento, on the
18th Of June next, for the purpose of noni-
mating State officers and Congressmen. Coun-
~ organizations are also recommended to en-
sure the election of sound Union men to the
Legislature. We shall publish the document
tomorrow How general the movement may
become, no one can now say. If the good of
the Union cause can be best subserved by it,
no party committee should stand in its way.
If the masses of the Union men Of the State
see ft in an unmistakeable way, to endorse
the proposition, there would be no necessity
for any other Union organization. But until
there is some clear evidence to show that the
people are disposed to disregard the Com
mittee calls already issued, we submit that it
would be sheer folly to build up a new party
which would only draw off portions of those
now organized. The first Union Convention
call was issued by the Democratic Committee,
and every man who can read must admit that
it is complete surrender by the Committee,
of all party dogmas, for the sake of the I'm
ion. The npporionment, even, was based
upon the idea of sweeping away all old par
ties and forming great Union party-the
basis of apportionment being not the vote of
single candidate last fall, but the entire
vote of the State. The only test is loyalty to
the United States Government in peace and
in war. aud under all Administrations. We
have thought all along that the masses of the
Union men of the State would not consider
ours party call, merely because it emanated
from party Committee We have seen no>
thing as yet to shake this belief If, howev-
er, as we said before, there shall be gene
raj movement among the independent uncon
ditional Union men of The State TO respond to
the address alluded to, we shall hope to see
our Committee consider the matter, and be
governed, in what they may do, by desire
TO make the success Of the great cause sure
beyond a peradventure. Until it does be-
come evident that the friends of Mr.. Douglas
are better pleased with the new movement
than they are with the call of their own Com
mittee, we cannot aid in any degree, in the
disbandment of the gallant and true band of
Union men with whom we have been associ-
ated, and with whom we have all along prom
ised ourselves that all Union men. who are
for the country in preference to party, would
act during the coming campaign.
These matters are in the hands of the peo-
pie. The politicians cannot control the ac-
tions Of the masses they can only act with
Them The Union Clubs which have started
into existence throughout the State within
the past month, prove shat the people are
not inert, as has too often been supposed. At
all events. they are now thoroughly aroused
They will have voice in the matter Of or
ganizing the coming contest between the
country and its enemies, and we shall soon
know whether they approve Of the new
movement or not.

MEETING AT Los ANGELEs.-A quasi Union
meeting was recently held at Los Angeles,
which passed resolutions favoring the tone of
Governor Downey's sentiments. Among
them are the following:
Res0iUed, That ignoring any and all partizan oh
iects will cordially unite under that Nag which
given us name and standing throughout the world
pedging ourselves to cooperate with and defend the
Government in all lawful and constitutional measures
to maintain and preserve its integrity from all and
every attempt of those who are conspiraing for its
overthrow.
ReSoloed, That while we unhe itatlngy declare oul
purpose to sustain and defend the Government, We
would cheerfully aid in any reform modification
the Government, which the welfare of the people may
require.
Res0ired That the efforts now making in this state
to nculcate the doctrine that ii is the duty of Calfor
mia to assume indifferent and neutral position
while conspirators are plotting and arming for the
overthrow of Government, is unworthy ofthe CON
sderaton Of every true and loyal American, and that
il is the duty of every patriotic citizen to repel In the
most effective manner every attack upon the Cohsttu-
tion in whatever form it may present itself
Res0Ioed, That believing the formation Of sepa-
rate and Independent Government by the people OF
this coast with the consent OF the American peo-
pie, would be runous to the inhabitants an attempt
to do so at this time when our common country and
its institutions hallowed by the memories OF It's oun-
ders is endangered, would be act of such ingrati-
tude and cowardy baseness, as would stamp us with
inelfahle disgrace.
We call attention to the following resolu-
tion as not coming up to the true Union stan
dard, as inconsistent in itself, and as giving
laid and comfort TO traitors. 1t literally
pats treason on the back:
Resotoed, That while animated by an ardent
desire to aid by our persons and property in main
tanning and defending the Government and preserv-
ing iii its integrity, unfegnedly depore the ne
cesity which compels our Government to draw the
sword in se-preservation, and would prefer an ami
cable and constitutional separation of all those States
in which the people demand it, and where il can be
permitted without rrepaarable injury to the people of
the remaining States, to their subjugaon by the Fed
cral power, or the disastrous consequence of civil
war.
men agree remarkably well, and it may be
remarked that Los Angeles county is the To-
cality where a late overt act of treason was
committed Cni0n

REvERDY JOHNSON AT FREDERICK, Mp On
the 7th of May grand Union demonstra-
tion took place at Frederick Maryland. Re
verdy johnson, in behalf of the ladies, re-
sented flag TO the Home Guards who had
one hundred and fifty members present, be-
sides large and enthusiastic gathering OF
the people. He said in the original causes
which had produced the present emergency,
Maryland has had no share. Her people
ever were, and now are, jealous in support
of the Constitution and Government which
they were foremost in forming and adopting.
No threat of treason has ever been whisper
ed within her limits. while the blessings and
advantages Of the Union have ever been fully
estimated and appreciated. The loss of these
advantages, it is felt, would be utter ruin. In
this ruin all the States would more or less
share, but our geographical position would
make 1t TO us immediate and total. The Gov
ernment had given no cause, and had the
friends OF constitutional rights remained at
their posts in Congress, the power of the
Government to trangress its authority could
have been eilectually thwarted. The leaders
OF the rebellion were aetuated 10y an unholy
thirst for official power The fact is evinced
IN the elevation to place of all who have de
secrated official positions and been plotting
treason. They may as well strike at the
heavens with their arms es against the Amer
ican Union. Defeat was certain to rebellion
The free States, according to the last census
have 3,77S0 males between the ages OF
eighteen and forty five. The slave States
have ,GG5, 900. The seeded States, exclu-
sive Of Virginia, had only 53l 900; and the
difference in wealth is proportionate to that
Of men, With such Il vast disparity, the end
of the struggle is beyond doubt. 1t was the
ann OF the South to confne the war to the
border States Mr.. Cobb was even now con-
graduating them on the removal of it from
their midst but Maryland should Illustrate
tins eowardly policy. Let those who have
provoked the war bear its entire Irunt Ma
rylands proper position is to remain firm in
her loyalty to the Government The rebellion
Leaders haye.done all they could for Mr.. Lin
coins elections as the means of precipitatino
revolution in the South. They relied for the
success of their plans on the Intervention of
the border States and divisions of the North
but they were short-sighted men, The first
gun fired at noble and starving garrison
was blow at the nations heart and united
North had sprung TO arms in vindication of
the flag and for the maintenance of the Gov,
ernment Heaven forbid the duty of that
vindieation should be forgotten by Maryland.
