A REToRT CoURTEoUs-In his disunion
speech in the Senate, Senator Iverson. of
Georgia, admitted that in Texas there was
one clog to secession in Governor Houston.
adding that if that Governor did not change
his course there might arise Brutus in that
State W no would make way with the hoa-
ry-headed old traitor" A Texan friend of
Gen. Houston's who heard this remark, OBJ
served that while he appreciated this COM
pliment to the Brutus of his native State. he
could not reciprocate it in the case of Geor-
gia. 1t would be rather difficult, he thought.
to lind Brutus in State where the Creek
Indians used to say that they "could raise
corn on one side Of the Coosa river and whip
lne GeorIgians on the other but when G Gen-
erai era! Jackson came among them they had no
time to do either"

g. i. SooTT AND MS PREcIors EPssTLE-
Kappa" the correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, in the following, gives one OF the
California members a rap over the knuckles: /:
The Hon c. l.. Scott. member of Congress
from California, has written letter to Hon
Charles Lindley, Chairman of the California
Democratic Central Committee, wherein he
declares that if this Union is divided and
two separate Confederacies are formed, |
will strenuously advocate Che secession OF
California, and the establishment of separ-
ate Republic on the Pacific slope Wheth-
er, however, the wishes of Mr.. Seett, who is
supported by Mr.. Gwin, will make any i'm
preston upon the Union-lOving citizens OF
California, the great mass of whom were
born in the Atlantic and Western States, re-
mains quite a matter Of doubt. California
has everything to hope from the Union, but
nothing with out it. Mr.. Scott ought to
know that such letters as his will do more
injury to his people than to the Union. The
House passed, only few days ago, bill to
build two railroads to connect with and
bring nearer to the Western States his far
off State The land and credit for the reali-
cation of such an enormous enterprise are to
be given by the United States There is
such thing as the California war debt, de-
fense of coast, etc. which interest the people
of California more than all the palaVer of
Mr.. Scott about HE Pacific Republic 1t is
only the Union by which all these great
things can be accomplished. Therefore, the
less he says about secession, applying his
time seriously to the passage of the Pacific
Railroad bill in the Senate, the more thank.
full his constituents will be.

COLD.-The weather for the past FIVE or
six days has been unusually cold. Yesterday
we had but little wind, however, and we
noticed a good many of G DDS "last best gifts
to man" sailing up and down the streets as
airily and gracefully as ships at sea with all
calls set. There was not wind enough to
lift the ample folds of their drapery an inch
from the ground, nor any mud to soil the
hens of their dear garments We "felt to
sympathize" with the 'lokel" of the Appeal.
But the fact is the bad weather is gone and
so is his occupation. Tastes have changed
since the time of her august majesty, Eliza
beth of England, Of whom Houssae, in his
Memories Histori9,es, related that upon an
occasion of a political conference of much
importance, she contrived to distract the at
tention of the French ambassador by coquet-
tishly revealing her ankle Whereupon the
gallant ambassador laid his hand upon his
heart, and with a sigh exclaimed: "Ah,
madame, if the King, my master, had but
been in my placel" We say, times have
changed, and, if you see woman reveal her
ankle, you may depend upon it, she has no
other object in view, but an honest straight
forward Yankee purpose of avoiding unnec-
essary work for the washer woman. Long
may the pleasant weather continue, and long
may the dear creatures enjoy it

HOMICIDE IN VIRGINIA CIrY.-A CORES.
pOndent of the Bulletin says that on the 9th
inst, in a lager beer saloon in Virginia City
quarrel arose between Frederick Olsen and
Henry Van Appen, both natives of Schleswig
Holstein. In the affray, it appears that Van
Appen stabbed his opponent in the left side
penetrating Che heart, SO that Olsen exnired
within few moments. Van Appen imme-
diately surrendered himself
The case was tried before Justice Wator-
man. A number of witnesses were examined
who all testified to the violent, treacherous
quarrelsome and pugilistic character of the
deceased and that he had frequently threat
ened to blow off the heads of different ner.
sons, and Van Appen particularly; and that.
on the other hand, Van Appen was quiet,
sober, peaceable and industrious man. On
this testimony the prisoner was released
in self-defense

the case of Hagerman, the Hessian, who was
Killed. the other day, about ten miles above

Frenchman, familiarly known as the Old
Hunter, rendered a verdict that he came to
his death at the hands of the Frenchman,
who acted in self-defense The dispute be-

tect and Superintendent of said building,

We are informed that Mr.. Mcdonald, af-
ter his appointment, proceeded to the grounds
of the State Reform School, but did
not order any stopping of the work,
notwithstanding the most critical por-
tion of the Plan had already been passed
through with by the contractor, under the
uperintendency;ofM Mr.. Wescoatt If Mr. Wes-
coatt was incompetent, and the work done
under his supervision was wrong, and not
In accordance with the plan, the whole thing
should have been done over again. And we
would now suggest that Committee Of com
petent architects be appointed to visit the
building and see if the work has been done
according to the plan and specifications
adopted. If the work, so far as erformed
is not right but, owing to the alleged incom-
potency of the late Architect and Superin
tendent, is all wrong, the evil should be at
once rectifed and remedied; and we know
of no better way than to have the whole
thing done over again.
If it be true, as Mr.. Weseoatt states, that
his successor is himself not a professional or
praetical Architect, we do not see how the
Board has remedied any previous difficulty,
on the score that Mr.. Wescoatt was not A
professed Architect
The matter is at least worthy of public
attention, and we hope it will be thoroughly
ventilated.

The Removal of MIR. WescOatt.

| In another column there will be found q
card from Mr.. N. Wescoatt, late Architect
and Superintendent of the State Reform
School Building, which we publish as an ad.
vertisement, it being personal matter.
We know nothing of the merits of the
transaction complained of by Mr.. Wescoatt
except what we hear The public is already
aware that Mr.. Wescoatt has been removed,
and that Mr.. j. b. Mcdonald has been ap-
pointed by a majority of the Board of Trus-
tees as Architect and Superintendent.
DESTROYS of learning something of the
merits of the case, we have eonversed with
Mr. Steele, the Contractor for the State Re
form School Building, and he informs us that
he has never complained of Mr.. Wescoatt in
any manner whatever, and that SO far from
it, he is fully satisfied of his competency, in
all respects, to fill the position which he has
occupied.
! We asked Mr.. Steele if he had been notifi-
ed formally of the fact that Mr.. Mcdonald
had been appointed, and he showed us the
'ollowing letter.
