The latest accounts from Sacramento rep
resent the city as crowded with politicians
Of all grades, in anticipation of the meeting
of the Legislature on the 7th. Governor
Denver seems to have the most positive sup
port for the Senatorship, but it is stated
that there are friends Of the late Senator
Broderiok among the Douglas members who
will spare no efforts to defeat Governor
Denver.
Mrs. Kitty Geikin vas murdered at her
residence III Sacramento, OF the 9th inst,
it is supposed for her money.
A decree has been published by tho Gov
ernor OF Sonora conceding the right to trans
nit American goods from Guaymas to the
gulf of California, through the State Of So
nora, near Fort Buchanan.
In November, the amount Of treasure re-
ceived. at San Francisco from the country
was S3,381, o9I. Tn the same month the
export was 81, 395, 568. The city, there
fore. increased it's exports in December by
SSs9337, 600, while the receipts we're dimin-
ished 1891, 100. The difference of ST.
29S, 600 had to be furnished by tie floating
capital CT San Francisco-and so heavy a
draft in SC short a time could not be made
without inconvenience.
The annual statistics Of the State are pre-
pared for publication, and show remarka
Bile progress during the past year: $4,000
passengers arrived at San Francisco, and
a, 100 departed-a gain Of population by
immigration seaward Of 5000. The esti-
mated overland immigration is Q ,000 to
$4,000, being small en- account Of the In
dian hostilities. Tho gold export falls OF
several millions from last year, but this de-
Gcieney is compensated by the greatly in
creased experts Of the State.
The amount Of treasure from the mines
fully equals any other year. The value Of
the principal State products exported from
San Francisco in 1860 is as follows: Bar
ley, S150, O0o; bread, $3.50, 900; fish,
SIS, coo; -four, 500, 900 furs, SIS, 600;

900 wheat, 1854, 600 wine, $4,000

Mr.. Ed;tor:-A few thoughts have pre-
scented themselves to my mind, of a local
character, whilst enjoying the luxury of a
blazing fire and a rich Havana, during Che
inclement weather which has so sorely af-
hicted us for the last week; and for the ben
eft of our community, as we'll as to crafty
myself, | have determined to ask your per-
mission to print them.
CEMETERY FUND.
About a year ago, | believe, a Fair was
held by the ladies Of Staunton, for the pur-
pose Of raising funds to improve the Gene
tery 1t is understood that the means thus
raised through the energy Of our ffatr ladies,
have never been applied to the object origi
nally designed, on account of some legal
disability, or other sufficient cause. Ifthis
be true, and the fund is still lying idle, I
respectfully suggest that it De loaned to the
two military companies of Staunton, for the
purpose of aiding them ii purchasing the
necessary equipments, suck as tents, KNAPP
sacks, &c for active service in the field
The unsettled state Of our national affairs
may render a call for the services Of our vol
unteer companies by the State necessary at
any moment, and in order to enable them
to be prepared for marching, this sugges-
ton is made. If complied with, a praise
worthy object will have been materially adj
vanced, and the Cemetery fund be made in
tercst-bearing.
HoME GUARD
Our two military companies have offered
their services in case Of war, and in the e.
vent of need, will doubtless be called away
that would leave our property aud wives
and children without organized protective
force. This should not be, as in the Kind
Of warfare which will prevail, if there should
be war, every place is liable to attack or
disturbance, I suggest, therefore. the for
nation Of a Company,to be called the Staun-
ton Home Guard, who are to act merely on
the defensive, and not to act except in the
absence Of the two companies now existing.
Men past military age, minlstersa and others,
might join this company 1t need have no
uniform, but a simple badge, and need drill
but little. Having organized selected arms
and badge, they might agree that a certain
alarm-signal should at any time summon
them to an appointed place.
LEWIS sTREET
All our streets are bad enou Oh in all CON
science, but Lewis street, from Frederick
street out, is my far TOO bad. tits all mud,
with a ditch for sidewalks. On said street
live many poor persons, who can't afford
boots and shoes, and they get to church and
their daily work (when they can get shere)
at the expense Of health, and at the risk
OF their lives. ] doubt not that some girls
have, from wading along this street, gotten
the seeds Of death in their constitutions
Every Corporation w it to its citizens to
abolish nuisanaes, and Lewis street is GER
tainly a nuisance. It has been said, ga
Corporation can't SIM but say this Cor
p%oration is a grievous sinner, if it don't do
something for Lewis street.

E1ERUaeEEs.
A writer in the Spectator Of the 22d, oh.
iects to Gen. Hartman and Capt. lmboden
because they are military men. We con-
slider this simple fact the best evidence of
their fitness to serve the State in any ca
racisy. Show US a man whose pride Of
State and courage prompts him to prepsr,
for the emergency Of wac, and We will show
you a man who dures to do right, and in
whose hands the honor and interests of Flr-
giuia can safely be trusted. These gentle>
men have as much as any one q: stake in
the issues Of our present. difficulties. They
have large families Of small children, which
would prevent them doing anything to pre-
~cipitate civil war, even if considerations of
patriotism did not.
Two of the other candidates Coils. Bald
win and Baylor-have worn epauletts, and
Mr. Shelley, at one time, we understand,
had military aspirations. It SO happens,
that Just at this time Gen. Hartman and
Capt. Imboden hold military commissions.
This is urged against them, in the absence
Of any valid objection, as a reason Why they
should not be elected to the Convention
It is the first time We have ever heard the
position of a citizen soldier presented as a
disqualification for Office. The people of
Augusta understand this ruse, and will eff
fectuaily rebuke it next Monday at the polls.
Gen. Hartman has fairly and honorably earn
ed his epauletts by actual service in defence
of the honor Of his country Against a for
eign foe. Capt Imboaen organized his
company to be ready for another John
Brown raid, and for the purpose Of defend
ing the interests and the honor-the prop
erty and the lives-of the people Of Vir-
ginia Is this a reason for censure-a
cause Of disqualification? Let the people
answer.

Papers have been circulated through the
county for signatures, calling on certain
persons to become candidates for the Con-
yention. 1t is claimed that those who have
signed these papers have given their bond
to vote fer the gentlemen solicited to an
%nounce themselves. We assert that there
is no semblance of an obligation in this
act TO support any man, if his sentiments
are not such as the voter can endorse. Il
is an Invitation for gentlemen to an
nounce tbemselyes-an exhibition Of per-
sonal respect-but by no means a transfer
of a man rights as a free and independent
citizen.
Any man who, in this canvass, votes for
another merely upon personal grounds, re-
CARELESS Of his defined position upon the
issues involved, is unworthy to exercised c
privileges of a freeman. IIe is a s@erVile

tai law to free white citizen. 1t is an issue
where men are mere cyphcrs-the agents
to carry out the will Of the voter. Howev-
sr honest and uprightthe candidate may be,
f his views of the duty Of Virginia in this
crisis are wrong. or if he will not come out
boldly and plainly, and declare what line
IF policy he will pursue, then he should not
be supported. We say frankly, that any
man who is not willing for Virginia to act
promptly, is Assisting in bringing upon the
civil war, with all its attendant bor-
rors. Such an one cannot and must not be

than she could have been had she died in
the midst of the pslatial splendor which was
so long Ter glory and her shame.

school girl of thirty years ago.
"'Though disabled by sickness. and de-
privad Of all claims, according to worldly
! principles. upon any such association, she
here found a self-denying friend, who sooth-
ed her dying moments, and led hey to take
refuge in the consolation of tie Christian
faith. The Rev. DR.. HAWKS, en- being re-
quested to attend her, was frequently at der
bedside, and gave her the benefit ofhis pas
toral instructions, as If she had been one Of
his own flock. He o%fliciated at her funeral,
on the 18th inst, and Mr.. Brown, who has
atseaaed so many funerals and weddings in
his day, (may he live many years,) was
seen to wipe the tears from his eyes as he
heard the clergyman say that he had never
known a case of more sincere penitence than
was cvinced III the present instance. Let
him who is without sin cast the first stone
at hey.'"
