There is but little general news.

1t is estimated that more than twenty thousand
people attended the Union meeting al the square,
corner of Market and Montgomery streets Speech
es were made bv Edward Stanley, Eugene Cassidy,
Col Crockett aHd others. Resolutions were unani-
mousy adopted declaring the unalterable attach
ment OF California to the Union; that there exists
no power under the Constitution for a State to
secede; that California will cheerfuy acquiesce in
any honorable plan for the adjustment of the exist
ing dhcultles, so as to secure the rights of all the
States; that If one or more States should effect
hnal separation from the Union, California will,
nevertheless, cling to the Union with the Il tates:
that California entirely repudiates the project of
racine Republic as visionary, mschievous, and
lmpraccable; that the true attitude of the people
OF California, at this time of trouble, is that of
traterna kindness stewards the people of all the
States; and her honor and interest alike demand
oi her to do all in her power to bring about harmo-
ny and reunion among the people of the whole
country.
1t is generally conceded that this impromptu
Union demonstration the largest mass meeting
ever held in San Francisco, while the unanimous
and enthusiastic endorsement of the resolutions
surprised even their friends.

How THE CARS ARE LIGHTED WITH GAs.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company have their cars
lighted with gas. This gas, the Pttsburg Chron'-
Gle says, is supplied at Altoona, where the compa-
ny makes it, the coal being quite handy for that
pumped into receivers, under very high pres
sure, and, by means Of pipes, conducted from the
stationary receivers to the cars, and there enters
receiver on each car, seven feet six inches high,
fourteen inches in diameter, and which, with a
pressure of five hundred to six hundred pounds,
contains sufficient to supply two six-feet and one
three-feet burner from sixteen to eighteen hours,
or one round trip. The use of the gas proves salts

The question is not decided as to whether Mr..
Crittenden will be nominated to the vacancy in
the Supreme Bench by the President. 1t is be-
ieved that the idea of putting this venerable states
man in that tribunal originated with Senator Sum
neT, and is indicative of lberaty on his part that
does him infinite credit.
The hesitation on the part o! the President grows
out OF the opposition of certain Republican Sena.

confirmed; but, whether confirmed or not, his re-

THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL APPoRTIoNMENT.
The Congressional apportonment based upon
the last census, which has been almost COM
pleted Will not take effect under it to the Thirty
eighth Congress, which commences its session in
december 1868. If, therefore, the seeding States
mad remained in the Union, Mr.. Lincoln's Admin
istration would have been in minority in both
branches OF Congress for the next two years. aud
they would have had nothing to fear from it.
ADDITIONAL PATRONAGE.
BY the passage of the bills organizing the Terri
tories of Dacotah, Colorado, and Nevada, the Pres
ident will be called upon to appoint three Cover
nors, three Secretaries, nine Judges three District
Attorneys, three United States Marshals, three
Registers and three Receivers, and three Surveyors
General Additional land districts were also crea-
ted in Oregon and Washington Territory by the
last Congress, which will require two new Regis
tiers and two new Receivers OF the public lands.
THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERACY.
BY intelligence received here to-day from Mont
gomery 1t appears that the new nationality is
rapidly approximating to a substantial and perma-
nent government. Having the experience and
wisdom Ofour government for his guide President
Davis has put the whole machinery in successful
operation, and in less than month, says one of
his Cabinet writing to friend here, ave shall be
in full tide ofsuccess We have already inauru-
rated an elaborate war policy, and will have in the
field before the first of April over fifty thousand
well disciplined soldiers, commanded by able and
experienced officers, most of whom belonged to the
United States Army. We have intelligence also to
the effect, that at the moment there is a clash of
arms between the sections, our noble army will be
largely swelled by both officers and regulars"
The Black Republicans, he says, appear to be
good deal exercised to how we are to raise sufi
cient revenue to support our government. They
VIII learn in good time. A system or plan is
already matured which will be ample to carry on
our government, even in time of war. We have
several propositions before US looking to direct
trade with Europe. European capitalists are ready
and willing to embark in such an undertaking.
