THE PRESIDENT AND BALTIMORE.

We regret that circumstances induce d
the President to pass through Baltimore on
his way to Washington in the manner he
did, because chance is given the seces-
sionists and the enemies of his administra-
ton to question his courage, and, perhaps,
derive therefrom license to continue their
Vaccinations against the Government
We regret it, we say, but not that Mr.. Lin
coin gave Baltimore the go by, but that the
state of society is such in that city as to
render it imprudent for the President to re-
ceive public reception. The mass of the
people of Baltimore, as in all cities can be
safely trusted, but one tenth of the popula-
ton in a riotous band may give the nine
tenths great deal of trouble to reduce
them to order.
Mr.. Lincoln, it seems, was informed by
Marshal Kane, of Baltimore, and other per-
sons, that insults and riot were imminent.
Bloodshed might occur and to save the
city the horrors of mob, it was probably
thought best for the President to pass qui-
etly on to Washington foregoing a recep-
ton in Baltimore.
A great many captious individuals find
fault with the step, aad intimate cowardice
is to account for it. President Lincoln's
personal courage has never been question
ed heretofore and it is too late to question
it now. He will be found not wanting in
the qualities requisite to a statesman when
occasion shall offer.
Those who sneer at his course would
have raised more noisy condemnation
had Mr.. Lincoln, against the advice of prom
inent Baltimoreans, pressed in a foolhardy
manner into the city, and had been mobbed
by the Dead Rabbits, or any other band of
rowdies. If the citizens had turned out TO
protect the President, and blood had moist
ened the streets of Baltimore, what a COM
plant we would have heard of the Presi-
dents rashnessl of his headstrong, ungov-
ernable will, of his pompous vanity which
he must crafty against the advice of those
who knew the Baltimoreans best, and
though hundreds should be slain in conse-
quencel Some men are always finding
fault, and nothing Mr.. Lincoln could dc
would save him from their animadversions
1t was in perfect consonance with thu
line of policy Mr.. Lincoln had chosen t.
pursue to avoid all cause for irritation
He took the advice of friends, who under
stood the temper of the rowdies of Balt
more better than he did, and though hi
may have disappointed the better classes il
not giving them an opportunity to pay thei
respects to him, he may, also, have savec
the city from disgraceful riot. At leas
be gave no cause for excitement in Balti
more, he took the precaution that no inju
ry should result from his visit, and there
by acted, to say the least, kindly and pru
: IDENTIFY. Had he acted differently and evil
had resulted there would have been no en-,
to complaint.

LUNCH EATERs.-The following extract from
a private letter, dated New Orleans, February
llth, gives the following sketch of the secession
mob which now controls New 0rleans:-"They
are all down here for fight. and there are more
soldiers, and Colonels, and Generals, and Cap
tains, than you ever saw. The most Of them
hare Tired for The last eight years on lunch to my
certainknowledge, but are now fed on pork and

SLIGHTLY GESEALoGIcAL-John Slidell, the
Louisiana Senator, who had anticipated the ex-
piration of his term in the Senate (which ex-
pired March 4th) by seeding with his State, is
a native of New York. His father was an hon.
est soap-boiler and tallow chandler of that city
about the beginning of the present century
He sent his son to college, little dreaming that
he would ever prove traitor to his country in
after life. This collegiate course was finally
the cause of Slidells emigration to Louisiana
and hi ienial of his birthplace.

PICKETT says the programme is TO league
the foreign born with the Abolitlonists to
clean out the South. That done, the Ger

the Irish, and then the Yankees feel conf

fore he calls on the Irish to strike for the
secessionists.
1t is nip and tuck now between Pickett

UNION AND SEcEssIoS.-The young ladies Of
Burke county, Ca, offer strong inducement
for young men to secede. At a large and en-

following resolution was adopted:
Resolped, That we, the young ladies of Burke
county, do henceforth reject, with a haughty
scorn and proud disdain, all civilities from any
gentleman who refuses or neglects to join thg

VALUABLE WooDLANDs.-A committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the feasibility of improv-
ing the Mokelumne river, so as to admit of nav
igation to Mokelumne City, gives the following
item showing a portion of the commercial
value of that region: The single item OF wood
alone is so vast as without investigation, bare
assertion of its approximate value would stag
ger belief. 1t is admitted that we have 800
square miles Of oak woodland, which will pro-
duce, at a moderate estimate, twenty-five cords
to the acre. Here then, we have 192, 900 acres.
or 4,S00,o0 cords, which, at its value upon the
banks of the river, at S. per cord, is worth in
round numbers S24,OOO,O0Q, or at the average
San Francisco price of 81 per cord, is worth

PHILOSOPHER PICKETT publishes his letters
to Latham advising him to side with the
South, for the reason that should the South
become possessed of the public property,
the Navy &C., she would make fair dis
tribution and California would get her part
of the assets; whereas, if the North should
clutch all in her dshones. paw, California
would get not particle; but the North
would re-enact the theiving game of the
northern wing of the Methodist Church
when that great sect split up!
Pickett is evidently not in love with the
Yankees.

ruE PREsInENr,s INAuGuRAL.

We republish from the Sac. Union the
Inaugural of President Lincoln. 1t is a
calm. gentle, and at the same time, firm
State paper, designed to conciliate rather
than exasperate, to win rather than intimi-
date malcontents to an obedience to the
laws, and comports with the character of
the eminent civilian, its author. 1t does
honor to the heart and head Of the Presi-
dent. A wise policy is observed in it, which
ought to command respect everywhere. 1t
is calculated more particularly for the me-
ridian of the border States, and will be a
powerful lever in the hands of the Union
men in that section. The President gives
them every hope and encouragement of
which they will not be slow to avail them
selves, and with effect.
There are three sections with which the
President has to deal in the present crisis.
On the North he can rely confidently. The
Cotton States he can scarcely hope to con-
ciliate in day, a month and perhaps a
year. The border Slave States, the third
section, may be said to tremble on bal
ance, and for this section is the inaugural
more particularly designed. But for the
middle section, more positive expression
of Union doctrines, more thorough expo
sition of policy and intentions, might have
been better. AS it stands, the leaders of
the revolutionists will not fail to make a
warlike document of it, to inflame the ig-
norant masses, while had it been less mild,
more auth bortative and determined after the
style of Jackson, it would have created a
| thrill of enthusiasm throughout the Union
ranks all over the nation, and might, per-
haps, have brought those less blinded by
passion in the Gulf States to take sober
second thought before committing them
selves finally to revolution. The tone of
the President is so gentle that some may
read in it license to go on in the work
of disorganization, taking care only not to
go too far, when more rigorou lang
might check them suddenly. AS the way
the border Slave States shall determine to
act will decide whether the conflict is to be
of long or short duration, it was polite in
the President to give those States every as
surance in his power that no violence would
be done by the Administration to their
rights and interests. He has done so, and
considering the interests involved, no one
can justly find cause to complain Of the
Inaugural Address of President Lincoln.
1t is in keeping with his character as a
civilian, and polite in its designs to meet
the necessities of the times.

EDrToR JOURNAL Our city fathers have
provided US with a wise and necessary 0rdi-
nance for impounding hogs found running at
large in the streets, and have, also. to execute
the ordinance, appointed pound master who,
if We are to judge by the scarcity of swine in
the streets, has done his duty faithfully. But,
l make the inquiry, have not the Board of Trus-
tees overlooked a greater nuisance than the
swine ever were? Perhaps, and it is probably
the case, the Trustees not aware that a
pest in the shape of an animal exists in the out
skirts of the city, which is more mischievous
and destructive than all the hogs that ever AN
at large here elsewhere. l notice large
number of shade trees planted by the street side,
which, if not destroyed, will in a few years
beautify the city. But goats are bound to de-
stroy them if the owners of lands adjacent to
the trees do not go to considerable expense to
guard and protect them. This species of i'm
provement should be fostered and encouraged
by the city authorities as far as possible. As
no premiums or rewards are likely to be offered,
the least the Board of Trustees can do would be
to use their utmost authority to protect the trees
against enemies after they are planted. A tight
plank guard will shield the trees against goats,
but the question arises with some force, should
fifty citizens be compelled to expend twenty five
dollars each for the protection of trees along the
side walks when ten dollars would do but for a
half dozen goats that are not worth twenty five
dollars in all? In short, should fifty be COM
PEELED to pay fifteen dollars tax each, for the
benefit of one citizen to the amount of few
dollars? Pro BoNo.

who furnishes, among other things, the follow

They have recently invented some refined
cruelties for testing how strongly suspected
strangers may be tinctured with Abolitionism
1t is true they barrel up men and throw them
into the streams, but this is only done after they
are proved to be Abolitonists. Prior to this
they undergo the following formula of tests, in
which have been an eyewitness: They take
the unfortunate and tie him by the feet to the
tail of cart and let the horse run away; they
then fasten him down to the sidewalk, pin back
his eyelids, and compel the passers by (men
and women) to spit tobacco juice in his eyes,
they then stand him up, bore holes into him
with small augurs, fill tho holes with Chinese
crackers, and touch them off; finally they take
off the top of his head, scoop out his brains and
fill the cavity with Republican ideas and prin-
ciples. If he survive this tests, they conclude
he is "sound on the goose" and after unjoint-
ing his legs allow him to travel

The case presented by Pro Bono is strong
one, and needs attending to. 1t appears to be

majority. Having never subscribed to that
doctrine, we are bound to say the goats COM

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH aa, 1851.

U. S. SENATOR ELEcTED.-The Marysville
papers tell us that Gen. McDougal was
elected U. S. Senator, in place of DR.. Gwin,
on Wednesday, all the Republicans voting
fex aim but Cfeckcr of Sacramento.
Perhsps the Legislature has done itself
credit by the election of McDougal, but we
happen to think little different. Wepub-
lished last summer our convictions that
Gen. McDougal took two thousand dollars
of the peoples money for which he was to
attend to & suit in the Supreme Court OF
the United States between the Pacific Mail
steamship Company and the State of Cali
fornia. We have the authority of the
books of the Controller of State and the
vouchers in that Office in 1855 to prove
that McDougal received the money, and the
testimony Of Latham and Gov. Bigler be-
fore the Assembly Committee of claims of
1855, that he gave no service to the State
for the money. We say common honesty
demands the money should be refunded
Do the members of the Legislature think
different? or did they not care to give the
subject the least consideration Perhaps
they think if man of McDougal's promi-
nence has not taken more than two thous-
and dollars of the peoples money during
twelve years, he ought to pass muster. If
so we admit the force of the argument in
its local application, but demur to its re-
cognition in history.
Gentlemen of the Legislature! There is a
high court ofappeals to which your actions
are to be taken and judged, where indiffer-
ence or culpable ignorance of yours will
avail you little. Impartial history, we
have some grounds to suppose, will give
you little credit for the election of
McDongal to the United States Senate.
