Cows IN THE CITY OF LONDON One of the
last places in the world perhaps, where one
would expect to find herd of three or four
hundred cows, would be the city of London,
especially in that fashionable part of it known
as the West End And yet, if one con-
siders moment. it is manifest that milk
for the million must somehow or other be
provided, and the how becomes interesting
Milk for the babes" is scriptural and we
were much struck with the good security
so characteristic of English thoroughfares-
furnished to the babies of st. Jamess Park

them. Large, healthy, sleek-Iooking cows

Iowa paper says:
ou may know them by the piteous whin-
.n8s with which they deprecate war-hy

Sau4n' and by their extreme concern about
!' .nr' nncoln's violations of the Constitution.
"a his efforts TO preserve it, although they
nave nothing to say about Davis's efforts to
'destrooyit altogether. They are all of them
sheaking hypocrites, and the surest way to
Judge them is to watch their faces upon the
receipt of news. If it is disastrous to the
rebels, their visages at once put on length
ened, solemn look. If the Union armv has
met with aisaster-if one of our faithful
officers has been assassinated by rebel
their eyes brighten at once. These men
were they in Maryland or Missouri, would
smuggle powder and shot to their Southern
brethren--- engage to the extent of
their courage in driving out friends of the
Union and con&scating their property or de-
stroyingit.
That lightning strikes in divers places in
this region.

Consumedly Impudent.

Undoubtedly the independent press of the
State embrace among theif number the very
best neus-papers on this coast For their enter
prise they deserve praise, and have reaped a
rich reward. Indeed they have become wealthy
and puffed up, and now. by their exceeding ar
rogance some of them remind one of the self
consequence of the ignorant though wealthy
Goldfish aristocrat of the Eastern cities, who,
with the oleaginous flavor of dried fish, train
oil and candles still lingering around him, at
tempts to ape the born-aristocrat in his small
circle of toadies, snobs and Jenkinses.
Those to which we have reference, assume
the airs of born lords of the press-on all ques-
tions, trivial or important, speak oracularly
like Sir Oracle-and with owl-like gravity and
solemnity, damn any opinion not strictly in &C.
cordance with their own views.
As an instance of their presumption, they will
not, without rebuke, allow any man to say that,
in the event Of the total and iremediable destruc-
tion of this Union, California ought to favor the
establishment of Pacific Republic, rather than
constitute herself an appendage of some one of
LIE HULL uOZcu ouc-HOIsc AcPuDiHSS iulo "AiSu1
in all probability, the States east of the Rocky
Mountains will then be divided. Nay, if man
even express desire that California shall play
the role of one-horse Republic on her own
hook, rather than personate the subordinate
character of a mere appendage to one-horse
Republic two thousand miles distant, they not
only rebuke him, but misrepresent him-abso-
lutely cody and deliberately belle him, by de-
claring that he unqualfedy advocates disso-
luton of the Union
Now if such writers were not blinded by
what? an inordinate self-importance ?-they
would readily recognise the fact that man may
be true lover of the Union, and yet favor the
establishment of Pacific Republic in the case
of national suicide-upon the happening of the
total and irremedable destruction of the Union.
If they were lovers of fairness they would re-
cognise this fact for no lover of fair dealing
viii purposely misrepresent any man.
While we deem the Union of inestimable value,
the source of all our greatness, and dissolution
national suicide-while we call upon California
to stick to the Union of Washington so long as
there is a'Unon to stick to- yet we expect to be
opposed to the project of attaching the fortunes
Of California to any one of the half dozen in
considerable, war-cenvulsed fragments of the
Republic east ef the Rocky Mountains. If that
be treason, make the NEST of it.

A Jolly and PoeticaI Delinquent.


Tom Connolly, as jolly and good natured an
Irishman as ever trod the bogs of the " Jem of
tho Say" WAS published as delinquent. 1t
appears that he had note on somebody, which
he didn't consider quito equal to gold eagles in
hand. Nevertheless the Assessor thought Tom
should pay the sum of ten dollars or thereabouts
for the privilege OF being moned man or mo-
ney lender. Tom thought differently, be js-
bers." Hence he was put down among the
"delinquents." Whereupon he lays aside his
pick and shovel, lights his " dudheen," rolls up
his sleeves, and defends himself thus in letter
to the Tax Collector, Mr.. Skiliman:
Froei n craving usurer I'm .urned poet;
And will law and logic with history quote,
To prove that my case no parallel finds
In the annals of ancient or modern times
have examined all State laws and Federal acts:
All acquit man worth nothing from property
Fleeced by my friends, and for that threaten'd
by law,
My case 8 the most singular that you ever saw;
] should deem one misfortune enough in that
line,
But it seems that many are doomed to be mine;
For must pay for both the skin and the fleece,
And then get whipped for buying either of these.
Cheated by scoundrels, then scourged by law,
Is more than Ulysses in his wanderings saw.
Against this proceeding loudly demur,
And sincerely hope that you will with me con-
cur;
Or like sister Caroline, in fit of despair,
I'll hoist up my baggage and tear out my hair.
But, if again thus check mated, l authorize thee
To post me delinquent, and even sue me,
Give me no quarters, but lash me with law:
I'll neither protest, nor search out flaw.
So then, fond adieu until we two meet again,
In harmony friendly glass to drain;
But ere conclude, permit me to say,
Your humble servant. TON CoNNELLY.

Report of the Secretary OF the treasury
In the Confederate Congress on Tuesday
last the report Of The Secretary OF the Treas
ury was presented and considered in secret
session. The Richmond Examiner says Of it:
1t is understood that the report was mainly
in answer TO resolution passed at the late
session of Congress, instructing the Secretary
to prepare a statement touching the amount
received from ali sources and expended under
direction of the Government; and also tabu-
lar statistics Of taxable property in the sever.
al States of the Confederacy. In round num-
bers it is believed the expenditures have
been about Sl0,OOO,OO0, up to lst of July,
while receipts have been about Sl4OOO,OOO.
The former includes en- item of S4OO, 900 re-
funded to South Carolina in part satisfaction
of her outlay in way Of preparation Tor de-
fence, anterior 10 her adoption OF the ConStl-
tuition of the Confederate States.
The Secretary Of the Treasury estimates
the taxable property, real and PERSONAL Of
the eleven States at Si,700,O00,OC0. Secre-
tary Chase puts that of the United States at
$4,000, 100000; but many of bis values are
fictitious and ephemeral, while the estimates
Of the Confederate Secretary are based on
solid securities. The expenditure of the Con-
federate Government does not, Of course, in
clude the expense incurred by the States
prior to their connection with the Southern
t,onrederacy, except the case alluded to Of
South Carolina. The balance of her outlay
Of S6O0,O0O has been taken in Confederate
bonds, no mention Of which is made in the
amount to the credit Of the Gorerement.-
The Secretary will soon issue S20,OoO,00O
Treasury notes, which the banks will take on
deposit and in liquidation Of dues.
No additional recommendation is under
stood to be made in this report touching the
financial policy proper to be pursued by the
Confederate States.
