The DIFFERENCE.-Je Davis and the

for three months past about their great loan
OF SIS 100000 and that it was going to be all
taken by few individuals very soon ; but as
yet there is no certainty OF its having been
taken On the other Eand VIM. B. Astor, of
New York, offers to g,ue S4.0OO,000 to the
Government, and TO loan it SIC, 900. 900 if they
require it-and all know he has it to give and

PEACEABLE INTENTIONS OF JEFF DAVIS
The Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy, of April 18th,
in an article on g Our War Policy" says.
In less than thirty days from this time if
peace is not sooner declared, the seat OF war
will be changed from Charleston and Pensaco-
la, to Washington City, and from thence
Northward and Northwest. Under letters OF
marque and reprisals, a thousand privateers
will be fitted out. which will sweep the seas
OF Northern commerce. There are over two
millions of men in the North, engaged in COM
merclal, agricultural and manufacturing pur-
suits, who are opposed to the Administration
Of Lincoln. This conservative force will
organize and arm for the purpose of over
throwing the Lincoln Government. Thus a
destructive civil war will be inauguFated in the
North. The Lincoln Government cannot long
withstand such a policy In three months
from this time Lincoln and his Government
will have removed from Washington City to
Boston; the fifteen slave States will be united
under the Constitution of the Confederate
States; the Middle and Northwestern States
will have formed a separate and distinct Gov
eminent of their own, and Lincoln will be left
alone IN his glory. with the Capital of Govern
meEt IN the Yankee city Of Boston, and the
extent of his territory will be composed of the
six States of New England. We predict the
utter disgrace, overthrow, and annihilation of
the whole batch OF Abolition conspirators who
planned this infamous revolution, and plunged
a free, happy and once united people, in all the
horrors of civil war.

CLERK SUPREME CoURT.-We observe by
the Marysville Democrat, that Marcus D.
Boruck, Esq editor of the San Francisco
Spirit of the Times, is candidate for Clerk
of the Supreme Court at the coming election.
We are glad of it. We desire to see such men
as Mr.. BorueS presenting themselves for i'm.
porant positions, for we know full well should
be be elected to the Clerkship he seeks, the
duties entailed upon him would be fulfilled
with honor and fidelity He is one of the
Staunchest Union men in the State uncom-
promising and answering in his devotion to
bis country ofexcellent business qualifications,
of good habits, industrious and popular. The
Spirit of the Times, the Journal of which Mr..
Boruck is editor, although not political in lis
character. has stepped forward in the present
crisis of the country, and in bold language has
advocated those principles which the founda-
ton of the Government is based upon the
Constitution and the Flag. Its course, and
that of its conductors, has been patriotic ard
loyal. Butte County would be proud 10 give
her influence and support, in favor of Mr..
Boruck.

The UNION SENTIMENT-A gentleman who
has been making trip through the Northern
portion of the State informs us, that the senti-
ment among the people in favor of the Union
is almost unanimous and a desire expressed
TO ignore all party lines, during the present
emergency, and to rally on one grand platform
the perpetuiy of the Union and the mainten-
ance of the Constitution and the laws The
American flag floats from the various flag
staffs, and the truest expressions for the glory
of the country given vent on all sides Thus
it will be seen that the State is unit in de-
tense Of the Government.

The SOUTHERN People AND THEIR WRONGS.
There is no democracy 10 the action of the
Southern oigarcbs. The people were rushed
out of the Union without the privilege of being
heard at the polls; and in Georgia the idea Of
the people having the right in the last resort
to shape their own destinies was sneered at By
Cobb and Toombs. Such things cannot en-
dure. A revusion will take place sooner or
later, which will viDdicate the majesty and
power of the people and sweep the oligarchs
from the face Of the earth.-Raieigh (N. C)

The Union Meeting.

The GRAND Union demonstration on last
Saturday evening, exhibited the deep interest
felt by our citizens in the present crisis, and
afforded an opportunity for them TO publicly
express their devotion to the Union and the
maintenance of our Federal Government
Seldom in our recollection, has there been
larger, more respectable or more enthusiastic
mass meeting in our county. The courtroom
was crowded 10 overfowing and hundreds left,
who came, but could not get into the large
room. Stirring Union speeches were made by
several of our most worthy citizens, and the
plaudls of the mass, showed that their minds
were right, when allusion was made, by the
speakers, to the necessity of forming Union
Clubs, to defending the country against the
aggressions of traitors and maintaining the
Government at all hazards When the old
Patriarch, who presided over the meeting, re-
ferred in plain eloquence to the duty every
citizen owed to his country in the present cri-
sis, to preserve her nationality and protect and
defend her flag, and offered the few days that
Providence might yet grant him on earth, to
his country in need, the enthusiasm of the peo-
pie was unbounded. The slurs and impotent
charges made by the Secession organ of the
county, that the meeting was called by those,
who were more than suspected of some polti-
cal design, received rebuff at the hands of
the meeting, which ought to teach lesson
worth remembering. The minutes of the pro-
ceedings appear elsewhere in this paper. We
heard but one regular milk and water speech
made on the occasion, and even that contained
some pretty illusions to our country's flag and
the hope of the Union.
The meeting was prolonged to late hour,
and broke up IN great unanimity and harmony,
with three rousiug cheers for the good old flag
of our country.

Coon FOR THE UNION Men OF KENTUCKY
A company Of secessionists, 1l5 in number,
left Cynthiana KY, to join the ConIenderate
army When the train arrived at Frankfort,
they were ordered to show their flag when
they displayed secession flag from the win
dow. Several stones were thrown at it, when
the lieutenant of the company fired into the
crow Immediately the cars were attacked by
the citizens, and bolders and paving stones
were rained about them promiscuously. They
finally got off with but little personal injury.
Great excitement prevailed during the remain
der of the day, and threats were made to tear
up the track The citizens declare that DO
more trains bearing secession troops shall pass
through the place. Frankfort is the seat of
government of the State.
