The following items are from the Chronicle Of
the 29th ult:-
We learn that Capt Dent, Of the 9th Infantry,
lost at Portland last week 10 men from his COM
pany by desertion. 1t is feared that the gold ex.
citement next spring will cause many Of the vol.
unteerS, stationed in the upper country, TO take
French leave.
We learn from the Qnartcrmaster, that nearly
hundred applications have been made to him
within the last week for employment in his de-
partment. a good l.ortioh Of these applicants
will be "played out"
Capt Hopkins, U. S. A., has gone from here
to San Francisco on a leave Of absence Of
twenty days, to receive the remains and attend
the obsequies Of his father-in-law, the lamented
Col Baker.
Mr.. Hllyer, a member of Company A, 4th
Cal Volunteers, has been elected q member
Of the California Legislature from Placer county.
Ills seat will probably be declared vacant
The Chronioie does not favor the scheme for
the division Of the Territory, and thinks it only
mOoted now as a bait to secure the Capital to
Olympia 1t says:-
We are not prepared to venture an opinion as
regards the ultimate pTacticability Of the scheme
but we are certain that measures to accomplish
this now would be at least premature. We fur
thermore know that the population residing east
Of the Cascades, which il the prof osed boundary,
does not favor any division now, and probably
never will, il its just demand for fair and equal
representation in the Legislature, according to
the increase Of population, and for separate Ju.
dicial District, is acceded to. Neither do the
majority Of the people living west Of the Cascades
relish the prospect Of a separate organization,
which would not only entail upon them large ad-
ditiOnal burden Of taxation, but also doom them
10 an insignificant territorial existence for the
next thirty years The interests Of the two Sec
tons are not so antagoni.tc, neither are the In.
cOnveniences arising from the distance and bar

This wretched and wicked man seems to be
fast receiving the just reward of his high crimes.
The fate OF Arnold is the fate of Floyd-con.
temncd and despiSed by the people for whom he
betrayed his country; and, like Arnold, be will
finally have occasion to cxclaim: "I am the
only man born in the New World who can raise
his hand to God and say, have not friend
not one in all America" A just retribution
! speedily overtakes such men, surely, as We see
| in the fate Of these two.
In the San Francis o Herald Of the 10th ult.
we find the following, which throws some light
on Floyds present position among the rebels:-
F,oyd's fate will be warning through all time
to American politicians "PoOr Floyd" is now
his title Of reproach. The very men who used
him as their tool aud rejoiced in his treason, sa.
lutte him, since their purposes have been accom-.
plished, with SCOTS and sneers while by loyal
citizens he is held in universal execr1tion. Had
he died in one Of his raids in Western Virginia,
il had been better for him; his name would
sooner have been forgotten.
Our readers have already been informed how
Floyd, while occupying one Of the highest and
most honorable positions under the Government,
used his power and influence in aid Of the con.
spirators who were plotting the present rebel.
lion; how, while under the obligation Of SOL
emn oath to support the Constitution and obey
the laws, he put arms in the hands Of traitors
who were preparing to violate and set at naught
the Constitution and the laws; and how, when
released from the duties Of his Office, be ignobly
fled from the Capital and joined jeff Davis.
Since that time be has led kind Of fugitive life.
He is despised by the men whom he prnSttuted
his office to serve end the press whose praises
he expected to mOnOpOlize, regards him with
nothing but sentiments Of scorn, delighting 10
taunt him with bis former crimes. Recently, an
army correspondent Of the Richmond Enquirer
severely criticised his conduct as military off,
Ger, accusing MIN indirectly Of Cowardce. Floyd
wrote to the editor Of the newspaper demanding
the name Of his accuser, at the same time ex-
pressing de ermination to have him court mar
tailed. The reply Of the Enquirer was that the
name Of the correspondent could not be given if
Floyd's purpose vas Unly to try him for breach
Of discipline; but that if the general desired to
hold his subordinate personally responsible for
the insult according to the custom among gen.
Il. men," he might obtain all the information he
required, adding, with terrible irony, "the char
acter Of our correspondent has ReUSr been stained
by the suspicion Of a crime" This, to former
Governor Of Virginia and Secretary of War!
