the Richmond Inquirer charging johnson
with treachery on the strength Of these letters
Mr.. johnson has prepared a statement, says
an Eastern paper, not to defend himself
against the malicious allegations, but to ex-
pose the baseness of the forgery, which was
evidently intended TO injure him and the
Unionists of East Tennessee.
A VoIcE FROM KENrucKY-A gentleman
residing in Western Kentucky writes to his
brother. prominent citizen of Sacramento,
under date Of May 18th, as follows. The wri-
ter is farmer
The war excitement absorbs all thought and
attention. The ordinary employments, engage
ments and duties of society are virtually sus-
pended. Our Courts will soon be abolished.
our banks suspended and law and order tram
pied under the foot of lawless people
Kentucky will preserve her present statues
beyond doubt. My section of the State is
largely for secession. Our proximity to Cairo.
where 6,000 to 5000 troops are quartered,
gives a local irritation not lett in other parts
OF the State. Again, the party leaders, with
but one or two exceptions throughout the
Purchase, are Secession zealo s, and they
blndly control fourffths of the people. The
press is for Secession likewise, and prescription
and intimidation are freely employed to cocrce
the people. Hence, in this locality the Union
sentiment has been almost stihed iuto an
eternal sleep. But the sleepers are waking up
again, and echo to the thunder tones from up
per Kentucky.
A few loyal men in our midst and believe
can class myself with them-have bravely
met every attempt to smother and intimidate
BY our untlring efforts to resist the progress of
revolution. we have earned the praise of few,
but the bitter scorn and deadly enmity of
many.
But a brighter day is dawning for u.s. The
tremendous vote of central and upper Kentucky
so strengthens our position we will soon rout
the rebels from our soil Missouri, Kentucky.
Maryland and Delaware will stand firm. We
will be cursed as towards and miscreants by
every lover Of the Cotton Oligarchy, bat we
know our motives and our interests, and we
will never surrender them. Virginia is in an
awful ferment. Civil war will most probably
ensue among her own people. Tennessee is not
much better. A reign of terror may force the
people to ratify the Act of Secession but Andy
johnson and few liOn-hearted compatriots are
making a deadly resistance The country will
be depleted, but have a strong hope that
Kentucky will keep the crimson tide from her
borders.
UNIVERSAL. PArRIorIsM-The Shasta Her
aid says:
In no war upon the records OF history was
there ever displayed such universal patriotism
and devotion on the part of people to Gov
Ill, Il r.,
Such an army raised in three months was never
before seen, while thousands, disappointed in
their hopes Of being called into the field, are
literally kneeIing at the feet of the Executive
aud begging to be sent. 1t is impossible to
believe that Government which binds so
closely to it the affections of the people can be
overthrown by misguided faction who have
yielded allegiance to the despotism of seces
sion.
The Union Democratic ticket the Shasta
Courier thinks, will receive majority of POO
in that county. 1t says:
We are not over sanguine when we say that
Shasta will roll up majority of l 200 for the
Union candidate for Governor, and the proba-
bities are in favor of an increased ratio
THE following paragraph, which we find in
the New Orleans Crescent of the lst, is ano-
ther proof of the prevalent unanimity' Of the

Csb1FoRNIA AND THE Uxlox.-rhe n: Y
Commercial Advertiser noticing the earnest
Union movement in this State, says:
3" The almost miraculous growth of Califor-
MIA po nts her ont at no distant day as the
Empire State of the country. Her extent is
para.lleled by the variety and richness of her
resources, whether mineral or agricultural
i1er cihdSe embraces every region between
the Froplc tand the Arctic circles. She begins
to give promise of becoming a great manufac-
turing, as well las an agricultural, mining and
commercial community. But of all the indica-
tions of her future Career, none are so satisfae
tory as her love of Country. Acquired from
Mexico, ana still conaIning a considerable
population of Mexican origin. she has kept
clear of Mexican policy. The pronunciamento
finds no favor among her orderly anu. industri-
Gus settlers. She has witnessed It's fataf effects
in days gone by; has seen them in national
clements of wealth untouched; in the poverty
and ignorance of the people in the trausfesr
of dominion to race stronger, because obedi-
ent to the law, more prosperous because more
intelligent and peaceful In identifying herself,
heart aud soul, with the Union, California has
added myriads to her population and MILLIONS
to her wealth. Fastening the day when Ken
New York must take secondary position
alongside her Pacific sister"
