"GEN. TwIeGs owes no allegiance and no
gratitude to the North. He received his military
education, as citizen of Georgia, at school
established and supported in part, and more than
proportionaly, by Georgia. 1t was Georgia
that gave him the appointment and educated
him for his profession. 1t was through her in
fuence he entered, as citizen of Georgia, upon
that profession in the common army of the
United States. He las never transferred his
domicil, citizenship or allegiance to any other
State"
Stop there Now, if Gen. Twiggs owes no
allegiance to the United States, because he was
educated in Georgia and otherwise bred and fed
there, it follows very naturally it strikes us,
that if he had been educated at West Point, that
he should have, by the most honest interpreta-
tion of the Mercurys argument, have stuck to
the United States. Turn and twist it over
thousand times and you'll ,1ake nothing else
from such premise. Nay, it very strictly fol-
lows that all persons who have entered the Uni
ted States Army Navy, and there learned
anything have no right to leave on any pretence
whatever
We are perfectly aware that the Mercury will
promptly evade this argument by urging that
the great proportion of Southerners in army
and navy, numbers-especially of those who
have seceded-never did learn anything to speak
of. This we chcerfully admit. 1t is very evil
dent that such of them as have scrambled away
at the very first blast of the secession cow-horn
never learned those very first principles of hon
or, manliness and principle which constitute the
best part of the education of an officer and n
gentleman. They have remained grossly igno
rant of by far the most essential part of their
education. They have shown themselves blind
as bats to the effect which their infamy must in
a very few years have on their families, and on
their later descendants. They arc illiterate
as not to be able to read what History must in
eritably write of them. And they seem to for
get that we live in an age when everything is
remembered, revived, printed, classified and
booked. The course of time is not towards
Slavery but towards Free-labor-aHd Heaven

DEATH OF A NOTED DUELIsr.-A CORES
pondent of the New York Times, writing
from Iowa, It the residence of General
Jones, who acted as second in the late Gil
ley duel, says: " Lea ming was from Maine
the General alluded to the affair, express
ing admiration for Mr.. Cilley, and deep re-
greet for the unhappy termination of the
issue. 1t may not be generally known that
the latter portion of the life of Mr.. Graves
WAS unhappy in the extreme. He died the
victim to regrets and the most horrible of
horrors. Two years he passed in sleepless
nights, with rooms lighted and with watch
ing friends, whom ne was unwilling to
have for moment leave his presence. He
consumed the hours of the night in walk
ing to and fro, in frightful starts in m pans
a I'd groans and tears, al wild excl ma
tions. AT length, worn out with mental
anguish, grief unmitigated and wasting
watchfulness, the unhappy man expired.
This l had from the lips of a clergyman,
his neighbor, and thus was avenged the
names of the murdered Cilley.

PoSY NEws.-The last pony informs US
that Spain in conjunction with France is
fitting out an armament for the conquest of
Hayti and San Domingo, whereupon the
Marys5iile Express remarks that our gov
ernment may have something on its hands
In that quarter. If the Express means by
our government the miserable Confederacy
with which it sympathiIes, we agree with
It that our government has something on its
hands, and considering its want of navy,
a great deal more than it will ever accomp
lish, if it even presumes to put forth an ef
fort against the maritime power of France
and Spain. But if the Express means by
our government the honorable Union that
was founded by our fathers, we have to in
auire what our government has to say in the
matter. If we acquire that island it can
secede, under the doctrines Of the Express,
and We have no right to prevent it. So far
rs the United States are concered it makes
little difference in the present aspect of af-
fairs to what nation any island or country
belongs. 1t is just as agreeable to the peo-
pie of the United States to have France and
Spain for neighbors as Southern secession
its. Towards the United States those ma
tions have been more respectful and decent
than has South Carolina or any of her kind.
They pay greater Difference to the obliga
tions of treaties, ard are better friends to
the Union to-day than the leading people
of the Southern States. Let France and
Spain absorb the niger Empire of Hayti
We don't know any reason why we should
spend dollar TO preserve nigger govern
ment and let our own go to smash.

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1851.

COLLECTOR APPOINTED The PONY of
Tuesday brought intelligence that the tri-
angular contest between Rankin, Birdscye
and Washbnrn, for Collector OF the port Of
San Francisco, has been decided by the
Cabinet at Washington, by the choice of the
6rst named gentleman.
It is beyond question that had Birdscye
bee3 the recipient of the Office the people
of Nevada county, without distinction of
party, would have been exceedingly grati-
fed, and the public would have found in
him most competent, intelligent and high
minded officer. No man in the State is bet
ter qualified for the place, and no member
Of his party can lay claim to being more
consistent and thorough going Republican.
The friends of Mr. Birdseye, however, here
and elsewhere, have no complaints 10 make.
Mr. Rankin is thoroughly competent man
iu every respect. lie resides in San Fran
cisco where the Custom House is. He went
20 Washington indorsed by the merchants
of San Francisco and by the State Central
Committee of the Republican party. On
the score Of party service he is perhaps bet
ter entitled to the place than any man on
the Pacific Coast, having expended thous-
ands of dollars for the cause when little
hope of success was entertained. Mr.. Ran
kin's appointment gives eminent satisfaction
among the people generally. 1t is conceded
that the appointing power at Washington
has acted with judgment and discretion in
appointing Mr. Rankin.

PoyY NEws.-Very many persons read
the last news by pony as wariike in tone
We see no,h'ng of that character in the
dispatches. They are rather of the sem
sation order, but nothing can we see in them
showing what course the Administration
had determined to pursue. We have ru-
mors that this thing and that will be done,
but all reports Of a policy resolved on by
the President and Cabinet need confrma-
ton. As far as we have any authority to
speak, il seems 10 be the desire OF the
government TO allow secession to fret itself
out alone if it will. An increased activity
in the navy yards may have been caused
by the report that the maratime powers Of
Europe were about to send squadrons TO the
Gulf. Such a report, if t1ought at all
well founded, would naturally excite the
government TO activity in the navy yards
in the most quiet times.
President Lincoln has shown determin-
alton not to be controlled in the distribu-
ton OF offices. Wew wish he would be equally
as positive, one way or another, in assert
ing what he means 70 do with the Southern
rebellion. That is the great question in
which the people take an interest. They
care little who gets this or that position, or
whether Col Baker or the " California del
ega.ion is uppermost in the affections of
the President The great question is yet
to be solved, and they want TO know what
course the government proposes TO solve
it. Mr.. Lincoln has warmed the Presiden-
tial seat but little more than forty days
The time is short, but the people have spent
forty days of anxiety, they would be glad
to find relieved, by some positive declara-
tion from the President.

AS6ES OF SORRENTO.

Is the titls Of the New Romance which
Mrs. Harris. Beecher Stowe has just written
for the Atlantic Monthly. The FIRST pages
are given in tie May number Of that work,
and the manner in which the story opens
assures US that its publication will add to
the already brilliant reputation of this most
popular Of American authors.
The story is one of love and duty, of Joy
and trial. Its heroine is a young girl, born
10 Catholic country and educated under the
influence Of Catholic institutions and in the
development of the plot the author has
soughtto illustrate the influences of that
creed upon the lives and characters of it's
vetaries.
From the intense interest in this subject
which has been manifested by the people
Of the United States within tho past few
years, and the fac. that it has entered so
largely into the discussion Of the political
As well Us religious questions Of tho time,
it cannot be doubted that Mrs. Stoves
calculation OF it, through the medium of tic.
titious narrative, will cause it to be as wide
ly sought for and as eagerly perused as her
previous brilliant contributions to American
literature have been.
