BIoGRAPnY OF MoMANUs, THE ExILED PATR-
oT.-In aluding to the recent death Of Ter
renee Below McManus, in San Francisco, the
Monitor gives the following brief and inter-
esting biography of the deceased:
Mr.. McManus was native of the county
Fermanagh, Ireland, from which he passed
over to England very early in life, and en-
tered upon commercial pursuits in Manches-
ter Subsequently, he established himself in
Liverpool, where he was widely known in
his early manhood as an energetic, prosper
Gus and most honorable merchant The most
implicit confidence was justly reposed in him
by all his correspondents for it was equally
claimed bV his mercantile ability and his in
tegrity, which qualities were, it possible, en-
hanced by the candor, manly irankness and
generosity of his nature. The natural result
of his position and character-namely pros
perity, reputation and general esteem-wilh
the prospect of happy future life, surroun
ded Mr.. McManus, when, in 1916, he threw
himself with all the ardOr of a sincere and
vehement nature, into the Irish movement,
which then was beginning to assume Sc
rious aspect Thenceforward he continued
an active member of the Irish confederation,
though not prominently so, as he was averse
10 public speaking. In 1913, when matters
came to a climax, McManus Joined the lead
.ers of the movement, and fell with them. In
September of that year he was tried for high
treason, along with O'Brien, Meagher, aud
Donohoe, and with them found guilty and
sentenced to death. This penalty was subse-
quently commuted to transportation for life I;
and he was accordingly deported, in 1919,
with his co-sufferers to the British Penal
Colony of Van Diemans Land. On his arrl-
val at this settlement. the unbending, un-
compromising spirit of Terence b. McManus
greatly irritated the Governor or Chiet jan
or, Sir William Dennison, who avenged him
self on his prisoner by various acts of special
tyranny, amongst the rest, by sending him
to work in the chain gang, amongst the very
scum of English convicts. the cut-throats,
burglars and desperadoes of the colony. The
hardships and surroundings that he was ex-
posed to at this time, to great extent, broke
both his constitution and his spirit; never
theless, in the year 1851, he contrlved to et'
feet his escape from his prosecutors, and land
ed in this city, where he received from all
classes of citizens, as we'll as his own coun-
trymen, most cordial and generous recep-
tion.
Since that period, his story, though not
without some vicissitudes, is brief and sad
one, such as has to be too often told OF ardent
proud, aspiring natures, woefully shipwreck
ed in their career, stranded upon foreign
shore, with ruined fortunes, defeated hopes
and crushed aspirations

DEscRIPTIoN or THE YAQUI VALLEY STATE
OF SoNoRA.-This Valley is undoubtedly the
most lovely and picturesque on the face of
the globe. 1t is clothed with a perpetual
verdue of ivy green. AT the White Marble
Cliffs of Buena Vista the prospect is the most
beautiful and charming imaginable. The
landscape is all that lover of the wilds of
nature could desire-full of prismatic hues
and decked out in gaudy attire. The whole
plain is skirted with a luXuriant growth of
tall, waving grass, that stretches out into a
vast sea, which, as the winds blow and re-
cede, is redolent with aromatic eXhalatons ;
the perfume is grateful to the senses, and not
unlike the fragrant zephyrs of the orange
grove. 1t is the charming and delicious spot
where the Summer profusely borders its
daisies and king-cups and sweet scented flow
ers on the hill side Solomonin all his glory,
could he have surveyed the enchanting ar
cadia, would have pronounced it perfect
paradise-the veritable habitude of the
Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley"
In the fall season of she year, when the yell
low~tintel leaves are melowed by the inhu-
ence of vernal sun, and the trees begin to
shed their foliage, to be out in the autumn
woods. amid the warbling intonatons of
chattering paraquets and parrots, and other
birds of gorgeous and variegated plumage,
creates a sensation of the most thrilling and
agreeable eharacter-indeed, the picture is
the very drapery of nature, is grand and
sublime, and calculated to make an impress
sion never to be effaced Nothing but Lord
Byron's massive poetry and gorgeous imagery
could do justice to the spirt-inspiriag region.
"'Tis the cline of the West. It's the land of
the sun" No wonder, then, that the Yaquis
who claim these grounds as "their own, their
native land" should rally to the incantation
of the Lay of the Last Minstrel" the raptur-
ed poesy of Sir Walter Scott
Breathes there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land?
The Yaquis number from 5000 to 10000

Generous.

The editor of the True Democrat is very
generous in declaring that he is willing to
give the Democrats all the credit for the
running done during this war.
We would say to the editor if the Demo
Gratis have done "all the running" as he
would intimate, we must come to the con-
cIusion that there are few Republicans in
our armies. AT least there could not have
been any in our army at Bull Run, for all
ran on That occasion.
By the way, as the Democrats "have done
all the running during the war;" would it
not be well to raise some Republican
troops, and have no more such disasters as
we have met at Bull Run, Springfield, Lex
ington and Lees5urg?

General Mcclellan.

"A contemporary truly remarks that no
man in this country occupies as perilous an
eminence as General Mcclellan.
Placed, as be has been by the withdrawal
of General Scott, as commander in-chief
Of our forces, we need but take view Of
the field to arrive at the cinclusion ex-
pressed above. Beginning at Fortress Mon
roe, and passing thence to Annapolis, Bal
timore, Washington and Westward to the
Rocky Mountains, we find the vast hosts OF
the Northern and Middle States, numbered
by hundreds of thousands, with arms in
their hands in hostile attitude to the people
Of the Southern States, who have retelled
and with mighty armios are disputing the
passage of our troops Southward. The
line of war is more than thousand miles,
and the men that are OF it, or soon will be,
win number more than a million. Such
stupendous display of military force may
well be compared with the greatest wars
which history has recorded.
But the magnitude of the contending
parties. is not equal to the Importance of
the issues involved in the struggle 1t is
no question of dynnety, or power, or diplo-
matte quarrel between different factions
but struggle to decide whether the United
States of America shall be stricken from
the roll of nations. This question of nas
tional existence is now discussed with
bristling bayonets and yawning cannon
along this line of thousand miles. The
details of the engagements will cover many
pages Of history and will be read thous>
and years hence-and will not be mere ac-
counts Of battles, If the great army Of
the North be managed with prudence, pa
triotism and wisdom, the country win not
be stricken down, but if it be made o war
for the determination of slavery, the Uni
ted States of America will thcnceforth be
thing of the past.
Hence the vast Importance of the mission
of our young Lieutenant General. The
future of the country depends upon the
success of his efforts Though he has done
nothing yet to establish his reputation ns q

shown that he is equal to the emergency
