APPREHENsIoNs OF CALIFORNIA TREASURE
sHIPPEBs,-Al the California treasure
ships have thus far escaped seizure by the rebel
privateers, the San Francisco papers express
apprebensions of future trouble. The EOening
Bulletin says: -.. ..f-
1t is not to be supposed that the rebels have
any conscientious Scruples about seizing money
or other property belonging to the "Y aDkees."
Their ideas of meum and hnIm seem TO have
been sipguIarly confused since the breaking
cut of the rebellion. The most plausible rea
son, perhaps, which can be assigned for their
forbearance hitherto, is that up to the time of
our State election they had very strong hopes
of attaching California to the Southern Con.
federacy, Pending this attempt, they proba.
bly, desired not only to avoid giving Offense to
Californians, but to conciiiate them by every
means in their power. Overwhelming defeat
of the Secession ticket effectually dissip ates
their hopes, and will probably inspire them
with desire for revenge upon California, as a
supporter of "Mr. Lincoln's Government"
The result of our election had just been made
known on the Atlantic side al the date OF our
last adVicss. We may now expect to epun-
ished for our loyalty, if the rebels can devise
any way to punish us. The readiest means by
which they can iDfct injury upon us are, OBJ
yiously, the capture Of our treasure ships; and
we may, therefore, now look for ActiVe demon
| stratiOns in that direction.

Music AFTER BATTLE.-Dr J. Il. Douglas
in a report to the Sanitary Commission rela-
tive to the wounded at Balls Bluff, whom he
had just visited writes as follows;
am convinced that music in camp after
battle, whether it is successful or unsuc-
cessful engagement, is of great Importance,
especially SO after defeat. One of the soldiers
said to me; 81 can fight with tenfold more
spirit hearing the band play some of our Ma
tionai airs, than can without the music .
Others of the wounded said they wished the
the bands would play more frequently. OF
the feeling that preVaded the men after the
! battle, DR.. Douglas says they had not
| slightest appearance of depression; all were
in excellent spirits, and eager for another
brush with the enemy. There was none Of
the Generalization. and expressions of bad
| feeling such as was exhibited after the battle
of Bull Run. The long roll called them to
arms in the middle of the night of Wednes-
! day, October %, only two days after the bat
tie, and the whole remaining regiment ap.
peaTed with as much alacrity as ever before
