The Object Of the War.

The Transcript, Of yesterday morning,
treats its readers to blood and thunder
article that would have done credit to
Wendell Phillips or Lloyd Garrison. It
favors the total destruction Of Charleston
and blocking mp the harbOr, the arming OF
slaves. and desolation Of every South Caro-
lima plantation. We presume the Tran
scripts opinion will not have much weight
with the Administration, nor would any
thing 1t could say be likely to create a very
extensive sensation 10 the rebel States; but
every paper, however insignificant, or linn
tied its circulation, has more or less infiu-
ence, and such articles, occasionally APP
pearing 10 Northern papers. are greedily
seized upon and circulated by the rebel
leaders, in order to keep up the belief in
the South that the Government is carrying
on the war for the purpose of exterminating
the whites aud emancIpating the slaves.
The people have been given to under
stand, both by the action Of the Admins
tration and resolutions Of Congress, that
the war was being carried on solely for the
maintenance Of the Federal Union, and to
preserve the integrity Of the nation; and
when this object is lost sight Of the sooner
the contest is ended the better.
AS for slavery, we do not believe II had
any ything to do with the rebellion, except as
an excuse, and decree Of emancipation, by
the President, or by Congress, instead of
ending the contest, would only weaken the
cause of the Government and render the
rebellion more formidable. To preserve
the nation from disintegration, no sacrifice
is too great; IL slavery stands in the way,
let II fall, but let the destruction Of the
institution, like the destruction of life and
property, be the result, and not the object,
OF the war.

The Rebels Respect for State Rights

The Rebels Respect for State Rights
The Memphis Appeal. one of the "let us
alone" anti.coerCion organs, though q
great stickler for State rights, insists that
the interests of the COnfederates overrule
these rights as applied to Kentucky II
say:
We Only speak The sentiment Of the United
Sontb we belieye in asserting that Kentucky
can never be allowed to cast her destiny WIN
the North, whatever verdict Federal tyranny
NAV force from her people under the duress OF
the bayonet. While we respect State rights
and State Sovereignty, there are political ana
military necessities which override these rlghtS
as measures of retaliation in great revolution
like the present. Kentucky may bend her
knee at present 10 the Baal of A6ohuonlsfn,
but the strong arm of our national power Will
rescue her from the possession OF the enemy
before the termination of this war as certainly
and as effectually as the vast expanse OF our
territory upon the golden coast of the Pacific
was rescued from the hands Of prostrate Mex
leo. The truth had as well be spoken, and we
can tell her citizens-loyalists and traitors
that no such idea has ever for one moment
entered the mind of the Southern people as she
shall remain under the iron rule Of Yankee
despotism. The South needs her territory and
must have 1t, though at the price Of blood and
conquest.
State rights and State sovereignty, ac'
cording to this argument. appertain to the
cotton States alone; but the idea never for
a moment entered the minds Of the Con-
federate leaders that the people of Ken
tucky had any such rights. The cotton
States may yet be taught that There are
political and military necessities which
override" their doctrine Of State rights;
that the American nation "needs their ter
rtory, and must have it, though at the
price Of blood and conquest"

BEAUFORT, SouTH CARoLINA.-This town
has suddenly assumed Importance, from
the fact Of troops having been landed there
from the Federal feet. On the first page
Of this paper will be found description Of
the harbor. The town is some sixteen miles
from the ocean, on Port Royal island, and
is the capital of Beaufort District. This
District contains ,l20 square miles, and a
total population in 1850 of 3s,sO5, OF whom
5,945 were whites, 5Sl free colored, and
32,279 slaves. The population, probably, is
about the same now. The railroad from
Charleston to Savannah runs within fifteen
miles of the town, and one of the first move
menis Of the troops, after landing, would
undoubtedly be to take possession o! the
road,

GEN. McCLEhLAN.-We published, a few
days ago, list Of the prominent Federal
and rebel officers, giving the date Of their
graduation at West Point, and the position
in which they stood in their several classes
General Mcclellan was put down as having
graduated 10 1912, aud ranking as the fifth
In bis class. This was undoubtedly on err
ror. According to Cullum's Register Of
West Point graduates Mcclellan graduated
as the second In bis class, and we have seen
a number of statements TO the effect that
he graduated 10 1916. He is now under
tbirty.six years of age, and could not have
graduated as long ago as ls42.

GEN. CHEATAM.-The Stockton Republi-
can says that Gen. b. F. Cheatam, who
commanded the rebel forces in the recent
fight near Belmont, Mo-, formerly lived in
Stockton, aud kept gambling house on
the levee in ls49. He was burned out at
the first large fire in Stockton, aud then for
time kept hotel, but 1t seems be was
not qualified for the hotel business, and af-
terwards took up gambling. He went East
about 1852.

THE DTPTHERIA.-This disease is prevail
ing to fearful extent in some parts of New
England. There have been several deaths
with the disease 10 Landgate, Readsborough
and Bennington, VT, and there were eight
deaths in as many days in Cambridge. In
Bridgwater, CT, there have been twenty
five deaths of the same disease since last
fail three of the number in one family. In
Bethel, Me-, five sisters, daughters of a Mr..
Carter, died Of diptheria during the month
Of September.

HORSE STgALING.-The following from the
Stockton Republican, shows how extensive this
species Of crime has become, and the necessity
for concert of action to repress it: "The police
of this city have within month received notice
of the stealing of at least two hundred animals,
and the proportion of recaptures has been quite
small. The thieying has been, much of the
time, by the wholesale-six, eight and ten hor-
ses being run off at time from one man. Last
evening gentlemanly looking man, native
Californian, gave information to the police Of
flee of the loss Of ten horses, stolen from him
at Watsonville, Santa Cruz county"

BRoDERICK EsTATE.-A San Francisco dis
patch says that an agent sent to ireland to
search for relatives of the late Senator
Broderick, has returned and found none
The Bulletin says there is evidence showing
that the document purporting to be the will
of the late Senator is a forgery, and that a
suit will be commenced in behalf of the
State for the property. The property is
worth about $l3O,OOO over and above the
debts, and will 90 to the school fund should

STATE REFORM ScIoOL.-The State Re.
form Schools, at Marys7ille, having been
completed, 70 far as to be ready for occu-
pancy, Gov. Downey has issued procla-
nation, giving notice that 1t will be opened
for the reception Of all youths for whom it
has been provided, on the I'd of December
next. The Union learns that the School
will be opened with appropriate ceremonies,
in which the Governor will participate. The
object Of this institution, as is generally
known, is for the confinement, training, and
education Of juvenile offenders, instead OF
sending them TO the State Prison, where
they would be constantly thrown In contact
with hardened criminals. The institution
is managed by Board of Trustees ap-
pointed by the Legislature, and they will
probably commence operations on some
twenty or thirty boys now confined in the
Industrial School at San Francisco, whom
the Legislature has authorized to be turned
over to the State School.

A LETTER FROM MRs. JEFF. DAvIs.-I
was to-day informed by gentleman who was
well acquainted with the fact that in June last
Mrs. Jefferson Davis wrote letter to a colored
woman in this city, in which she stated that
before the end of July the rebel Government
would be inaugurated in Washington, and she
be installed as mistress of the White House.
The object of the letter was to assure the col
ored woman that she would be safe to remain
in Washington, and to secure her services when
Mrs. Davis was called to dispense the hospi-
talities of the Executive Mansion Washing

IMPORTED WIT.--When Sparrowgrass joined
the Home Guard at Yonkers, New York, he
was reported to have said that he did so with
the understanding that the Guard were "never
TO leave home except in case Of invasion" This
was and is very funny; but it does not belong
to Sparowgrass. A proposition was once made
in Parliament that the British Militia should
never be ordered out of the country. Pitt
moved, as proviso, Except in case of inva-
sion" Sparrowgrass probably did not commit
the plagiarism. 1t must have been kindly done
for him by Jenkins.

Too Coon TO BB LosT.-A Presbyterian
CLERGYMAN, while walking the deck of steamer
at ST. John, N. b where secessionism has con-

flying from the masthead Of ship, tauntingly
said to Col. Favor: "Why don't you take slice
off that flag, since you have lost portion Of
your country% Yankee-like the Colonelquickly
replied: "Why don't you tear a leaf from your
Bible, because part OF your church have fallen
from grace" The clergyman had no more to
say on that subject.

THE deepest deposit of guano known is 20
feet. According to Humboldt, the deposit Of
three centuries would not exceed one-third of an
inch In thickness. BY an easy mathematical
calculation, it will be seen that at this rate il
would take almost countless centuries to form
the deepest guano bed.

ton on the subject says: at is earnestly hoped
that express and stage companies, newspapers
and correspondents, will aid us in sustaining

1t will be recollected that other "many citizens
of Chinatown" some time ago, held a meeting,
and resolved that Chinatown should be known
forever by the title of Nevada City," Until
further light is obtained on the subject, il will
probably be as we'll to give the place its original
name chinatown" which is as good as any.

exchange, says :


October 1lth, which we find in an Eastern
exchange, says:
A despatch from New Orleans Of the 4th inst.
10 the Richmond Examiner, tells OF one OF the
most important achievements of the war so far.
This information is, that the q. 81 blockadlng
squadron have dug passage through the mud
Of one fthe five mouths Of the Mississippi n.y.
er to the Sand Spit, which commands the whole
FIVE of them, and now have the Vincennes,
Water Witch, and two other vessels of the
squadron to protect the prompt erection OF
works, which in less fhan week will COM
mand all Of the FIVE mouths, passes or entran-
ces to and from the Mississippi river. Once
properly built, this work alone will absolutely
control the communication of New Orleans
with the sea as completely as blockadlng
squadron Of 20 ships Of war could accomplish
that object.
The naval engagement near the mouth
of the Mississippi in which, according to
New Orleans dispatch the slOOp Preble was
sunk, took place on the llth ult., week
subsequent to the date of the dispatch above
referred to. The (" Mosquito fleet" was un-
doubtedly fitted out at New Orleans for the
purpose of driving off the Federal vessels,
but returned without accomplishing the OBJ
ject.
