The Only Remedy.

The Boston Post touches the secession
question with n needles point. 1t says:
What a spectacle in this monstrous hy-
pocrisy of the North! Railing at the sin of
the South in keeping and working slaves,
while the North lives upon manufacturing
products of slave labor, and Massachusetts
alone works twenty thousand slaves to keep
her cotton mills going, And now when the
supply of the staple and the markets OF the
South are barely interrupted 10y this battle
of the States which the Abolitionists have
raised up with their war cries Of five headed
barbarsm' and sacred animosity' and heels
on the neck of the slave power everybody
is wondering and fearing and doubling
whether we shall get through all tins with
out general financial crash and break up.
What has mainly produced this but this
mad war of the North on the South, cul-
minating in the first election ever made toy a
geographical party of sectional President.
What is the remedy9 Not this miserable
little subterfuge Of waiting for cotton to
come North which can better be sold hy the
South to England and France, and IN the
meantime pinching laboring men and falling
the men of business Not at all. The
remedy is in an entire change Of the North
ern aspect Of hatred to the slave holding
States. The people of the North must shake
off this incubus of seclionalism. They must
turn their backs on the men who have deceiv-
ed them; they must resolue to Hpe up to Meo
constitutional obligations, and let slavery
alone in every thing except turning 1t to the
best account for the benefit of mankind.
This is the remedy; and the great ques
tion of the day, Union or half dozen lie
publics, prosperity or national ruin, depends
upon the North to stop this aggression upon
the South and change this whole policy OF
an irrepressble conflict into full recognl,
tion of the equal rights of the States and
the States enjoned by the Con stIutlon.

Origin of the Bayonet.

The Emperor Napoleon III. said III his
proclamation "Ihe new rifle arms are only
dangerous at distance; they will not pre-
vent the bayonet from being as heretofore,
the terrible arm of the French infantry"
The bayonet is in fact, an arm peculiarly
French. 1t was invented, it is said, at Bay
onne in l64l; and employed in 1870 in the
regimeAt of the Kings Fusilers. 1t sensi-
lily modified the system of military art in
Europe, as it made cavalry less redonbtable
to Infantry, and caused the fire of lines of
battle to cease to be regarded as the prlnci
pal means of action. The bayonet has, in
fact, become the decisive arm of the combat.
According to a local tradition it was in a
small hamlet in the evirons of Bayonne that
this arm was invented. What led to :he
invention of it was, that in a fierce combat
between some Basque peasants aud some
Spanish smugolers, the former having eX-
hau>ted their ammunition, and being there
by al a disadvantage, fastened long knives
to their muskets, and 10y means of the weap.
ons 80 constructed put their enemies to
flight. This arm rapidly came into general
use in Europe After the Kings regiment,
NcNoio o' 'AhciH "Vic p'o'No'' VIZ" tpo ''l
onet, and the Dragons received ii in 1876.
In 1913, at the time Of the peace Of Nine,
geun, all the French granadiers had the
bayonet, but the socket, which makes the
use of it so easy, was not invented until a
later period. An unsuccessful experiment
with the socket was made before Louis XIV.
in 1888, but the want of uniformity in the
muskets was then an obstacle to the a iop.
ton of this simple and etfracous piece o
mechanism. Bayone;s at that time were
sort of dagger, of which the handle wa'
placed in the muzzle Of the musket, and o
course prevented the musket from being
fired. The first battle at which the bayone
was seriously employed was that of Turin
in 1892; bnt it was not until the battle o
Spires in 1903, that the first charge of the
bayonet was executed. After that epoch
up to 1902, the bayonet was often employ
ed in combat. and the Prince de Lgne call
ed it a "pecuiarly French arm" owing to
the manner in which our soldiers used it; but
the real value of it was not revealed until
the wars of national independence. Then
the bayonet really became French arm
"'lhe bullet is wild,' said Suwaroh "but the
layonet is prudent and sure"

The Gentler Sex on the "C0de. ,

Jefferson, in his volume about doctors,
has some stories concerning women duellsts,
which are introduced into the work because
surgeons must dress wounds given toy female
fighters as well as men duelis,s. We quote
the following from his book.
The few duels fought between women
have, for the most part, been characterized
by great ferociiy. Madame Dunoyer men
tons a case of duel with swords between
two ladies' Of rank, who would have killed
each other had they not been separated. In
feminine duel on the boulevard st. An
tome, mentioned by DE la Coombere, both
the principals received several wounds on
the face and bosom-a most important fact
illustrative of the pride the fair sex take in
those parts. Sometimes ladies have distin
guishel themselves by fighting duels with
men. Mile Dureux fought her lover Anto-
neiti in an open street. The Actress Mau
pin challenged Duneny, but he declined t."
give her satisfaction; the lady stripped off
his watch and snuff box, and bore them
away as trophies of victory. The sans lady
on an other occasion having insulted, in "A
ball room, n distinguished person of her
own sex, was requested by several gentle
men to leave the entertainment. She obey
ed, but forthwith challenged and fought
each OF the medd!eso,ne cavaiers-and kill
ed them all. The slaughter accomplished, =,
she returned to the ball room, and danced
in the presence of her rival. The Marquis
de Nelse aud the Countess Polignac under
the regency, fought with pistols for the pos
session of The Due de Richpieu. In about
1927, lady of Chaleauroux, whose hus
band had received a slap in the face, called
out the offender and severely wounding him
in duel, fought with swords wiped off
the stain from her lords honor. The most
dramatic affair Of honor, however, in the an
nails of female dueling, occurred in the year
1925, when a young French girl challenged
a garle du corps who had sednced her. AT
the meeting the seconds took the precau
tion of loading without ball, the fair princi
pal Of course being kept in ignorance Of the
arrangement. She fired first, and saw her
seducer remain unhurt. Withou: tlinrhing
or trembling, or changing color she stood
watching her adversary, while he took dc
liberate aim Ito test her courage,) and then,
after painful suspense, fired in the air.

Opposition to the Union is treason to civ
ilizalion, and the people Of California will
never be guilty of that kind of treason.
But in order to accomplish 'nds, organiza
ton is required. There can be but two par
ties now, one for the Union, the other against;
and the rule Of judging will be, that he who
is not for the Union is against it. The roll
is being called and every man must answer
on the side Of his country or against it,
Sacramento Union.
ale who is not for the Union is against it,"
Most sapent discovery! The public should
be duly thankful for the information. But
for the Sacramento Union the profound idea
would have been forever lost to the world
"1'he rule of Judging" which that paper
adopts, and which it has done for some time
past, is to class every one as a secessonlst, /,
traitor, rebel and disunionst, who has the
presumption to doubt the correctness of its
method of Union saving-which is by mil
itarv coercion, or, what is the same thing,
civil war 1t cannot see, or will not ac-
knowledge, in the language Of Senator
Douglas, that coercion is war, and war is
dissolution, certain and irrevocable."
The course Of the Union, for months past,
has been we'll calculated to produce strife in
our very midst. Its efforts, We trust, will
be unavai'ius in this respect.

False Statements.
MOniteur.

In every community there is a class of
men whose special mission seems to he that
of mischief makers, and that merely for the
love of the thing and without hope of re,
ward, although incurring the risk of con.
tempt aud oliuration if discovered. Cali.
fornia, SO far from being an exception to this
rule is cursed with more than ordinary
number of those wretchcd creatures, who
fancy themselves safe from detection by rea
son Of onr isolated position; but sooner or
later "murder will out" and the actors held
up to scorn and loahing of an outraged
community. This preface is Introductory to
case in point, which calls for the reproba-
ton of all honest minded Calfornians We
are positively assured by gentleman who
arrived on the last steamer, and was fellow
passenger with General E V. Sumner, U. S.
A., that the presence of General Sumner is
owing to information sent forward from per,
sons in this State to the President and mem
bers of the Cabinet, that there was graf
danger that California would secede and de-
clare an independent Pacific Republic; that
organizations for that purpose existed in this
State; that the Federal office holders would
refuse to deliver their trusts to their ap
pointed successors, and that Gen. Johnston
was suspected of either favoring this design,
or wilfully shutting his eyes TO these assum-
ed facts. We now, therefore, most soIemnIy
and unequivocally pronounce all such state.
ments as mendarious in the extreme, and
their authors as ibelers aud falsifiers. There
is no State in all the Confederacy more
truly, more heartily loyal to the Union than
California. There is not now, never has
been, and we venture to say, never can be
any such organization as the one referred to
above, and whose existence we have disprov
ed time and again. There is no disposition
whatever to secede from the Union; but al
together to the contrary. s. f. HeroM.

Ingenius Mode Of Removing O. Termagant

Paris paper tells the following story Of
"a worthy gentleman" who, having unfortu

come a widower in a way not to expose him
self to the penalties of the law. lie owned
a beautiful country seat, situated on the
banks of delightful river to which his lady
was much attached, and which she visited
regularly every Sunday morning. She had
for this purpose charming little mule, with
splendid trappings, and Of which great care
was taken. For three days previous to the
lady's accustomed visit, the husband had de-
prived the animal Of all drink, SO that it
was almost famished. Sunday morning
came, the lady set out on her mule, accom-
panied bv her husband, who was anxious to
See the sport. The poor beast sought water
on all sides, and had no sooner discovered
the river than with the rapidity of lightning
he started off and stopped not till he had
plunged himself head and ears into the river.
The bank was steep and the river both rapid
and deep at this place, and the lady and mule
we're soon buried beneath the waves. The
husband regretted the loss-of the mule
but reasoned like philosopher, that to &C
