SECESSION FLAG IN VIRGINIA CIrY.-A wild
rumor was in circulation in Sacramento on
Friday, to the effect that an attempt had
been made to hoist secession flag at Carson,
which was resisted and much bloodshed had
ensued. The Union says the story probably
originated in circumstance related in let
ter recently received by business house
from their branch establishment at Virginia
City. The letter states that secession flag
was hosted a few days ago in that place and
that party Of Union men were making their
preparations to capture it, having procured
arms for the purpose

"The mastering into Virginia of twenty
thousand volunteers from the Southern States
and the joining of them there by thirty thou

REMAINING IN THE ORGANIzATIoN The diff
ference between the Davis rebels and their
sympathzers in California is simply this 1:
The former have bolted the Government,
while the latter think they can fight the Gov
ernment better "inside of the organization"
The rebels will fight the armies of the United
States while their friends who remain loyal
TO the Union" will try and send Congress-
men who will vote against supplies for U. S.
soldiers. The peace party would like to
starve those who are not shot by Davis
troops. Is it not so?

Mr.. PIcKwICK's SUCCESS AS \ MEDIATOR
The benevolent Mr.. Pickwick once attempted
TO stop difficulty between Potts, the editor
of the Gazette; and Slurk of the Independent.
Dickens,-Mr P's faithful biographor thus
relates the affair:
Gentlemen" cried Mr.. Pickwick as Potts
started up and seized the fire shovel "gentle-
men, consider for Heavens sake-help-Sam
-here-pray, gentcmen-interiere, some-
| body" Uttcring these ucoherent eXclama-
nations, MIR. Pick wick rushed between the
the carpet bag on one side of his body, and
| the fire shovel on the other: whether the
representatives of the public feeling of Eat.
answil were blinded by animosity, or, being
both acute reasoners, saw the advantage OF
having third party between them to bear
all the blows, certain it is that they paid not
the slightest attention to Mr.. Pckwick, but
defying each other with great spirit, piled
the carpet bag and the fire shovel most fear
lessly. Mr.. Pickwick would unquestionably
have suffered severely from his humane in.
reference if Mr.. Weller, attracted by his
masters cries, had not rushed in at the mo-
ment, and snatching up a meal sack, cffectu
ally stopped the conflict by drawing it over
| the head and shoulders Of the mighty Pott,
and clasping him tight round the elbows

mailman" and Sam to Ben Allen and Bob
Sawyer, who had done nothing but dodge
round the group, each with a tortoise shell
lancet in his hand, ready to bleed the first
man stunned Give it up, you wretched
little creetur, or I'll smother you in it,"
Awed by these threats, and quite out of
breath the Independent suffered himself to

extinguisher from Pott, set him free, with a

HARPER's FERRY.--This point which now
occupies so large space in every mans mind,
because Of the battle that must have been
fought there before this, is thus described, as
military post
"For twelve miles below the junction Of the
Potomac and the Shenandoah the river cuts
its way through two grand mountain ranges,
whose precipices often overhang the river,
canal and rail road. In some places, the last
named had to be cut for long distances out of
the solid rock; while strong walls had to be
constructed to resist the violence of the
stream. These passes are precisely such as
that described by Scott:
One hundred men might hold the post,
With hardihood against host
So much for the front of this position. 1t
is different, however, on the rear BY way
of Harrisburg, Chambersburg and Ilagers-
town. an army might ready reach the valley
of the Potomac twenty or thirty miles above

themselves master of it 10y taking possession
of the heights above the village. The latter
possesses no strength of its own, consisting
principally of frame buildings scattered
along the river side, where they could be
easily reached from the hills.

For example, Lincoln has plunged the
country into a civil war. Many believe that
in 30 doing he has pursued ruinous policy,
but atthe same time they have to accept and
abide by it, until they can constitutionally
control it.--ErpreSS.
The Tories of the Revolution were obliged
TO "aecept and abide by that struggle for our
Nationality, in those places where they were
in the minority; but they were no more con-
sidcred as patriots by the sires of the Revo-
luton than they would have been could they
have mustered courage enough to fight for
King George. The Tories of 1776 would
have been very glad to have been able to
get control Of the Continental Congress, in
order to vote down the Revolutionary war
and their imitators of 1861 want to Contro
Congress in order to vote down the present
war of self-dcfense against rebellion

The Letter of DIR. Wilkins.

We publish in another portion of this
fellow citizen and highly esteemed friend,
DR. Z. 7. wilkins. 1t Is hardly necessary for
us to say that we dissent entirely from the
Doctors position in this present crisis. We
know that he is earnest and sincere, but with
all due Difference to his known intelligence
we think him entirely impracticabIe. The
war is upon us. We all want peace, and
peace we have ever wanted. Rather than
see fearful civil war our great, strong and
generous Government waited for five months
for rebellion to give way to the sober second
thought Of the insurgents. But forbearance
only seemed to aggravate the matter. The
inactivity of the Federal authorities was re-
garded rather as license to universal trea-
son, than the calm patience Of strength and
right.
The war was opened in April by the forces
under the command Of Beaureguard, at
Charleston. The Capital itself was threaten
ed by those highin authority. Whether this
was mere braggadocie or not it was not for
our Government to inquire. We were com
PEELED TO be prepared Tor the defense. Thank
God, we are SO prepared. Not only so, but
we were compelled, when the rebels com
menced strengthening themselves within a
hundred miles or so of the Capital, to cross
the Potomac, and prevent them from perfect
ing their plans The war WILL we trust, be
short. We hope it will be conducted in a:
humane manner as possible. We believe
that it is the purpose Of the Government tc
restor order, and not TO destroy the rights o
any citizens.
We regret very much to be compelled to
part company with our friend in regard Il
public matters, ard, in doing SO, we make due
allowance for the facts that he has hut re
Gently returned from visit to his friend.
and relatives in Louisiana, and that his is a
warm and impulsiye nature.
We hope lie is mistaken in regard to the
unity of the Southern people on this momen-
tous question, and that had he spent longer
time among them he would have met with
many who still revere our flag.
Those who read the letter will observe
that the writer rather states the arguments
used by others than those of his own, and
that he deals with facts as he understands
them rather than with things as he would
have them to be.
