CAPTAIN WILLIS CoMPANY.-We have seen
quite number of squibs in the Republican
papers below, about a Butte County Company
of Volunteers for service on the plains, under
one Capt Galloway.
Now, Capt. c. never raised a Company in
our County, and what is more he could not
Capt. Willis raised good Company of sixty
FIVE men in this County, and went to San
Francisco with them and offered them to Gen
Sumner, but he informed Captain Willis that
he and bis men could only be received under
Galloway as Captain. This is playing the
thing pretty fine Galloway wa, here some
days previous to Captain Willis and his men
could to have them accepted, &c, and gave
Capt. Willis assurances of his assistance as he
was going below Immediately, and would see
Gen. Sumner. He did see him and got him
self accepted to command Butte County Com
pany, and from all appearances and acts after
the arrival of the Willis men at San Francisco
most any one would suppf Sc that Galloway had
so mixed things, that Willis Company, meant
only that it was CaIloways.
We know OF but one Company raised in our
county, that is Capt. Willis. Any other Is
bogus. We see. by the Marysville Appeal
that Galloway has recruiting Office in that
city, but none did he ever have here. Cal
loway is a strong Repubcan-Willis strong
Union Democrat. We rather guess that poll
tics can win on this as well as on the Atlantic
Coast. If not, why was not Capt. Willis and
his Company accepted Oh the spot +? the regi-
ments were not full. The citizens of our
county recognize Capt. Willis Company as
the only legitimate one raised here, and if they
are not accepted as such, with their officers,
they want to see them all come back.

The KENTUCKY ELEcrIoN.-The st. Louis
Express of August 9th, has the following =
The few returns from the Kentucky election,
received last night, are highly satisfactory.
The Union majority in Louisville is estimated
at 5000, and in Jefferson county at LOCO.
Harvey, of the Louisville Democrat, is elected
to the Legislature BY over 900 majority over
ex-senator Meriwether. In Fayette, Buckner
(Union) is elected over james B. Clay by 500
to 600 majority. In Franklin county, Rich
ard G. Anderson IA nephew of Col. Anderson
Of Fort Sumter celebrity is elected by 300
to 400 majority. R. w. Jacobs (Urion) is

show Union majorities considerably larger
than those obtained at the special Congress
sional election.

REPUBLICAN MEErISG.-The Republican
meeting held here last W Wednesdsy evening was
addressed by Mr. Phelps, candidate for Con-
gress. and author of the Bill for the sale of the
Marsh and rule lands of the State this Bill
is good Offset to the Bulk head Bill. and is
also an example worthy of consideration by
the wouldbe purity party
Phelps did not meet the expectations of the
people here he had been heralded as great
and powerful orator but in size and manner
he is very Denver.like, and put US much in
mind of that individual-his audience was
small and scattering. Delos R. Ashley also
spoke, as candidate for Treasurer.

PERsoSAL.--Judge Landrum, of Shasta
the Union Democratic nominee for State
Treasurer, called upon US day before yester.

politically. The Judge has been brought SO
prominently before the country, by his fellow
citizens of Shasta, without distinction of party,
as to give him an enviable standing in any

Rock Creek Correspondence.
Rock CREEK, August 21st

Rock CREEK, August 21st.
Ed. BUTTE RECORD We the denizens of
Missouri Bend. Pine and Rock Creeks were
last evening entertained with a smart sprink-
ling of oratory, from the great fountain of
eloouence, Oroville.
According to previous appointment it so
happened that advocates of the two conflicting
parties met here at the same time and place
accidental perhaps). The Natianal Demo
cratic spread-eagle- -peace-union letalone party
was represented by the would like-to- be-Sena-
tor, Lambert and Judge Wells the Admins
tration party by the Rev. Mr.. Cummings,
Senator-expectant Gaskill and Judge Barker.
The programme being arranged to suit the
several speakers, the assembled multitude were
called to order by DR.. Pratt, and organized by
electing S. Y. Hale President The Ball
opened, and all had their say, and no one
ODDLY harmed. As a chronicler of passing
events, and not critic, should under ordna-
ry circumstances close this communication
here, but two principal and extraordinary fea-
lures manifested in this demonstration, are
well worth passing notice and sereous con-
sideration. The first was the fact that the
only parsonage vocaly and persistently cheer
ed and hurrahed for was JEFF. Davis, which
must have grated harshly upon the ear and
heart of the loyal and true, and manted their
cheeks with shame and indignation for the
degenerate sons of America. While these
chickering's and blasphemies were waited out
upon the stiffness of the evening, sounding the
death kne of American liberty, not one sooth-
ing word of reproof nor sign of disapprova
was given by the bombastlc Lambert, or the
conservative Union-loving Wells, who alone
could have said "peace be still " and been
obeyed. The second feature is, to your cores
pondent, somewhat mixed as to its comprehen
sion perhaps you can explain it no one gave
even a passing notice By way of comment,
burlesque or what not to the Union Demo-
cratic party. Is this in accordance with
modern etiquette w.

Position OF THE UNION DEMoCRAcY.-The
following from the Cleveland Plaindealer may
possibly elucidate to the obtuse intellects of
narrow minded politicians, the position which
the Union Democracy occupies at the present
time:
Mr.. Lincoln's and Mr.. Breckinridge's plat
form is equally distasteiu to US. We have 40
political sympathy with either. and never can
have, but " our country. right or wrong" COM
mands our respect and support, and its Const-
tutionally chosen Government will ever find US
free to criticise, but loyal still, and when ex
ternal or internal enemies assail US, we hold
ourselves ever ready to sustain the Govern
ment in compromising upon the letter and
spirit of the seventy years old Constitution,

such arguments are offered US.

The Re ACTIoN.-rhe great reaction which
the Secession papers have discovered to be
taking place in the North, regarding the i'm
pending war, is indeed progressing and must
soon reach the eliminating point but it is
of an entirely different character from what
they would have US believe. 1t is from the
wild forward to Richmond frenzy of ex-
citement, caused by the first roar of conflict,
to the Gulf of Mexico, if necessary, to crush
treason and compel respect to the flag and
obedience to the law.

As KENTUCKY Co.'s | Go.-From a co rmu-
nication received from Chico just as we go to
press, we are favored with synopsis of the
speech delivered at that place by John R.
Mcconnell night before last. We make
room for the following brief extract:
He failed to satisfy the people that he is
not most thoroughly imbued with the doctrine,
as Kentucky goes so 60" be only substitu-
ted California for Kentucky. The absolute
Sovereignty of the States was dwelt upon
with emphasis, and the Federal Government
considered as vicarious trust, the mere agent
and creature of the Sovereign States. At the
close cheers were heard for JEFF. Davis.

WARLIKE News FROM MIssouRI-The ST.
Louis correspondence of the Union writes to
the effect that Federal troops, 1000 strong,
and $500 Home Guards, under Gems. Lyon
and Sigel, were at Springfield at last ac-
counts. The rebels, twenty thousand strong,
commanded by Rains, Parsons, Price and Nc
Culloch, were within ten or fifteen miles, ap-
preaching that place by four different routes,
with the intention of giving battle. Gen.
Lyon has determined to give them battle in
the open field relying upon his artillery and
the superior discipline of his troops, for sue
cess. A desperate and bloody battle has un-
doubtedy been fought before this time, by the
brave little army, against double odds. The
next news will be looked for with intense in
terest.

From some cause they did not appear to set
well upon the stomachs of certain Secession
would be county officials, from the Hercuean
tear-doicn efforts made to suppress them.
Mr. Lambert led off at the meeting with a
speech of thirty minutes wherein he came
to the very sage and logical conclusion that
this horrid, grim visaged war" could be
stopped by the Federal Government laying
down its arms. This astounding revelation
was acquiesced in by the audience with pro-
found silence.
Mr.. Smith then took the stand, greeted
with applause. He enchained the audience
with eloquent appeals TO their patriotism aud
loyalty, demolished the Secession party and
platform, and showed conclusivey that this
was no time for conditional Union men.
Judge Wells then followed, giving the
crowd to understand, by his manner, that he
did not care about coming in contact with MIR.
Smith, in campaign like the present.
