THE LATHAM RECEPTION this affair the

The LATHAM RECEPTION OF this affair the
Union of Monday says;
"Senator Lathem will come from San Fran
cisco to this city Tomorrow. The steamer
Milton s. Latham, with the Senator and del
egation, will leave the foot of jackson street
San Francisco, at y O'Clock a. NJ, and will
arrive at the levee ut about 8 o'clock P. NJ.
These citizens who desire TO accompany the
delegation can obtain tickets for the upward
trip on application TO c. j. Torbert The
boat will land at the foot of X street, from
which point the Senator will be escorted to
the st. George Hotel lie will there be
formerly received by Dr. John f. Morse, on
behalf of the Reception Committee, to whose
welcoming address he viii return a response" 3"
The people of this State will read with
great interest the words of our Senator upon
the occasion referred to. He, in the Senate
of the United States, gave utterance to the
real sentiments of the great masses of the
people of this State, when he declared that
California was for "the Union as it is or as il
may be-" We hope he will cut loose from all
unsound men, and aid in the great work of
0nnihilating the little fanatical crew in this
State who are opposed to the Government,
and in favor Of the ultimate secession Of CAL
ilornia.

OUR FLAG.-The noon train from Folsom,
on Saturday, came into Sacramento decora-
ted with American flags This demoustra-
tion of patriotism, says the Union, awoke a
hearty response from people of Folsom at the
start, from all along the line, from the work
men at the brick yards, and from the crowd
on the leyee at lis arrival The people al
most unanimously appear to think and feel
that the time has not yet arrived at which
the stars and stripes shall cease to represent
us among the nations of the earth.

Voice Of the Union Press.

We are nat in favor Of party Which or
ganizes for the sole purpose Oi giving any
State whatever the liberty Cf seeding when
ever it feels like it. We are not in favor OF
organizing party which shall stand ready
to see the flag of rebellion to the Federal
Go, ernment raised upon this coast, and5 say,

rebellion triumph
We think party which is for peace on
the part Of the Federal Government, when
ever aggressions are committed against at,
but for war on the part Of States or bodies OF
citizens, wherever they feel inclined to attack
the Federal Government, is a party not tit to
exist. We love peace, but we hate treason.

The party of reconnisance sent out hy
Lieutenant Mowry United States Commis-
hioner, arrived in Nsalia on Sunday, after
having examined the country for about two
hundred miles along the line. From what we
can gather from the gentlemen composing
the expedition. they passed through very
desoate, rough and sterile region. After
leaving the Colorado, they proceeded in a
north westerly direction, toward Lake Bigler
The line runs west of The Las Vegas Noun
tains, and through Ash Plain about seventy
miles above Westward from this plain is
the sink Of the AmArgosa stream that rises
in the upper part of Ash Plain and, running
southwark SWEEPS around TO the north ward
again, and after a course of two hundred
miles or upwards, sinks into an extensive
marsh of salt and alkali within fifteen miles
Of its source. This marsh Is in II valley Of
great length, running nearly north ana south.
One of its remarkable features is its great de-
Iresson-being not less than four hundred
feet below the Aevel OF the sea, as indicated
hy barometrical measurement At about the
level of the sea a small stream Of water runs
out This remarkable plain has been very
appropriately named Death Valley
The entire region they traversed is nearly
destitute Of vegetation Indications Of silv er
and other minerals are frequently met with,
but the nature of the surrounding country.
the difficulties attending the transporton and
the general uninyiting aspect of the region,
would be sufficient TO deter any class of peo-
pie except Californians from attempting TO
work mines or even prospect for them Par
ties have, however, gone down TO the Colo
Iado from which point they will diverge in
all directions and it is not unlikely that the
mineral wealth, If it exists in that desolate
country, will be developed.

No man is worthy of commission in the

to the United States Government. We hope
the Governor will satisfy himself thoroughly
of the soundness of men before appointing
them to military positions, at this perilous
time. Any bad appointment, even though
the result of mistake or an oversight, would
alarm and offend our people. We feel sure
that great care will be exercised, in this re-
gard, by the Executive Meanwhile, it would
he well for responsible Union men, who may
know of any disloyal person holding COM
mission under the present system to inform
His Excellency of the fact, in order that a
better man may be substituted. We take
pleasure in here endorsing the faithfuness of
Gen. Marcus d. Dobbns, of this city, to the

should please the eye of an American soldier,

sion eockades on the apels of their coats. We
advise them to throw off the mask of timidity,
