Douglas Denver men in the Legislature is
John White, Of Shasta. lie was one Of the
first to bolt the Douglas caueuses for Sneaker
and equally as Jealous to bolt the bongIos
caucus for Senator AS our readers are any.
lous to know something about the opinion of
Mr.. Whites constituents under such circum-
stances, we copy the following article from
the Northern Argus, published in Shasta
county. The editor says:
Among those who left the regular eaucus
we are sorry to mention the name of our rem
resentative, John White. Thus, Democrats
are you represented. 1t was not for this that
you voted at the last election; we know it
was not for this that you threw off your coat
on election day last, in a strong effort to de-
feat John s. p. Bass. We know it was NOT.
But the coalition is made, and those whom
you condemned at the last election have got
hold of your representative"
The above will apply with equal force to
I. ii. Harris, of Butte. lie has bolted both
caucuses Of the party that elected him, and
landed in the arms of the Breckinridgers In
regretting Mr.. Harris recreancy to principle,
and the party that honored him with their
confidence, some of his constituents express
the opinion that J. W. Buffum, would have
done quite as much service for the Breckin-
ridgers, and rendered the number of'traitors
less by one in the Assembly. We should

Moreover, he has grown accustomed TO royalty,

The Prince and Princess Napoleon and suite
are already added to our list of illusrious Wis.
tiers. The announcement made yesterday morn
ing Of their arrival took The public somewhat by
surprise; for although it was generally known
that the imperial yacht Jerome Napoleon was on
it's way here, it was hardly expected 80 soon.
The latter entered the harbor on Saturday az

however, that their presence among us is no Sc

1t is true, as we have remarked, that the

rome Napoleon eX-King Of Westphalia, and iirst
cousin OF the Emperor of France: but 80 was tho

latter was an indirect result of our own; and

! about the HERALD being a paper which "fur-

The shape OF reliable information" and
that 1t is journal Of "vital ability" Tho fact
that he has only now made this discovery shows
saat bis mind has been wandering Of late, and
tha' be is awaking to consciousness like man
from a troubled dream. Before the battle Of
Bull run VIC warned the government that the re-
bells had So,00o men at Manassas Junction; and
the event proves that the information was rel-
able; whereas The Times and all the republican
Journals OF this city insisted That they had only

AS to the ''masted batteries" behind which

to sag that that mode of battle is not in our line
We like an open, fair, free fight. If masked
batteries are used by any journalist in this coun-
try 1t is by Jefferson Brick. lie wormed him
sell into the confidence Of General Butler at
Fortress Monroe, partook Of his hospitality,
learned The nature and strength of the fortified
CAMPS around, and then published the whole
story, maps and all, in the Times, for The
benefit Of the enemy. In the same manner he
gained access to The table OF General Scott, and,
having learned from him, in private converse
ton. the magnificent plan Of his campaign for
defeating the Conlcdcrates, he publishes it at
length in thc most conspicuous part OF bis jour
nal, thus violating the usagcs ofsociety and The
confidence guarded by the sacred laws Of hos
pitali;y.
If this Is not assailing tie government with
masked batteries, we know not what other
designation to give it, He puts tue adminis!ra-
ton on the wroug track, and does his utmost to
deceive it as to the cnemy's strong position and
numbers, while TO the enemy Lo furnishes accu-
rate information of the most dangerous kind,
thanks to the facility Of Butler ard the I'M
suspcct;ng and confding nature Of General
Scott. Such are the recent Developments of

We trust that General Scott and ali others en-
trusted with important army secrets will keep
him at arms length for the future.

RECRUITING FOR THE NAvY.-There will we
fear, be some difficulty in manning the addt.
tional vessels which the Navy Department is
authorized to purchase, if the rule insisting upon
a three years service on the part Of sailors be
not relaxed. Numbers of able bodied seameu
belonging to our commercial marine would
eagerly enlist for the war, but will not be tied
down by an engagement for any further term
AS our need of sailors is pressing, the Depart.
ment would consult the public interest in TAX.
ing the additional number Of men required on
the former condition. If they refuse them now
they will lose the chance at a later period Of
securing their services. The stagnation Of our
commerce for any heightened period will driva
them to ship on foreign vessels; so that when
we most require them they will be beyond our

That, we think, ought to be punishment enough
for Greeley, without any of this sham hanging.
AS for Corporal Raymond, he lost SO much
flesh in that warm Bull run to Washington that
there is not enough Of him left to make nm
cfigy Of. If these two worthless will come down
to the HERALD establishment we will try and
protect them, as We did ourselves from any
mob violence, aud especially from BOBBY
Brooks and his gang. If they come, however.
let Greeley comb his mir, wash his face, and
appear decent, and let Raymond pledge HIM
self not to reveal any private conversations, ia
the style of his after dinner disclosures about
General Scott.
