On our first page will be found procIa-
nation of JEFF. Davis, the Provisional Pres
dent Of the Confederate States II is moth.
ing less than an invitation to all the rascals
in creation to fit out piraLical vessels to
prey upon the commerce of the Northern
States, under a show of legal authority. 1t
is not expected that any considerable nun
Der of the citizens of the Gulf States will
enlist 10 this business, for the reason that
they have not the ships, and salt water is
not their element; but they calculate that
every ship-owner of Europe, and many in
the Northern States, will eagerly accept the
invitation, and in this respect they are GER
tain TO be disappointed. Jeff. Davis and
bis co-conspirators having formed their es-
innate of mankind in general upon the
workings of secession in their own section,
have not arrived at very correct cOnclu-
sions of the morality of civilized nations
They may yet learn that all mankind are
not so eager as the rebels of the Gulf States
to seize and appropriate the property Of
others.
The Confederate States have not been ac-
knowledged as independent by any Gov
ernment on earth, aud privateering under
The Confederate flag will be treated as pi-
rucy by every civilized nation. Possibly
few persons may be found rash enough 10
engage in the business, but they will be
hunted down and hung as pirates.
A dispatch by the last Pony, states that
letters of marque have already been grant
ed to three or four vessels, which had been
lifted out with the view of intercepting the
steamers bearing California treasure. 1t Is
not impossible that they may succeed in
seziug one or two treasure shipments, but
the chances are that the fitting out of pri-
vateers will not in any case prove paying
investment.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-11
santa CIara DlRcuItIes.

The joint Legislative Committee, ap-
pointed to investigate the settler dificulti,
10 Santa Clara county, arrived at San Jose
on Thursday evening. and proceeded at
once to the discharge of their duties. 1t is
believed the difficulty will be amcably ad-
justed, aud that there will be no occasion
for calling out troops. The Sacramento
Bee says, in any event, there will be no
lighting. The settlers will not resist any
troops that may be sent against them wheth-
er in large or small, numbers. IF they eau
not come 10 terms with the claimants, and
the latter insist on the performance of tbe
writ Of ejectnent, the settlers will submit
to be turned out, and again take possession
of their property as soon as the troops leavc.
1t is hoped aud believed, however, that the
Committee will briug the opposing parties
to an understanding, such as they will abide
by until the Courts definitely determine be-
tween them, when, of course, the defeated
party must submit The Legislature un
doubtedIy pursued wise course in sending
the Committee to the scene of troubles
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-11

VIRGINIA OREDTT.-The VirgInians cannot
understand why it is that the bonds Of their
State are selling at fifty cents on the dollar
in the New York market, while the State
bonds Of New York and Pennsylvania are
at par The Virginia papers attribute it to
conspiracy Of the New York brokers, to
which the New York papers reply, by ad-
vising the Virginians to buy up their own
State bonds. The secession ordinance lately
adopted by the Virginia Convention has
sadly impaired the credit of that State.
Should the people reject the ordinance, the
State bonds would Immediately go up to
the former rates.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-11

TEXAs.-lt appears that Texas made a
bad move financially, as we'll as politically.
by seizing Government property and then
seeding from the Union. The New York
Times says:
The secession experiment has already cost
Texas over a million of dollars, besides the pub
lie property of the United States, which the
Convention seized, and has turned over to Pre-
sident Davis, bat which the United States will
charge 10 Texas against the SS00,000 indem-
nifty bonds which Texas yet holds, and the
amounts due Texas for frontier defense-S70O, :
600. So Texas pays for 81 500, 900, loses an
expenditure Of s. 100000 per annum from the
United States Government on her frontier, and
gets nothing but the empty name Of secession!
The State Treasury is empty; the State war
rants hawking at fifty cents ON the dollar; credit
is destroyed; merchants know not how to direct
their business; the poor have no money or en-
Ployment, and no one yet sees the end.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-11

DECETvED.-The secessonists Of the Gulf
States have all along been deceived, as to
the true sentiment of the Northern people.
Willingly believing the statements Of the
New York Herald and kindred sheets, they
have firmly calculated upon divided North
aud a united South, they and carried on
their depredatiOns against the Government
until longer forbearance can only be re-
garded arrant cowardice. The Charleston
Courier, a leading secession organ, in late
issue. says:
There is one thing clear, that If the Govern
ment resorts to force and sectional war, there
must be very strong and powerful party at the
North opposed to them. This party constitutes
the commercial cities and monied men, and
those interested in the industrial pursuits of
that section. This division being made at the
North, compels the Government, in an issue OF
force, to rely exclusively upon the Black Re
publican party for the supply of men and mon
ey. Whereas, on the contrary, the Confederate
States will present one united and unbroken
front, with no division, but all ready to defend
their homes and their affairs. In such an issue
there can be no doubt as to the final result.
By this time we presume the secessionists
have found out how badly they have been
sold by few unprincipled and reckless
Northern journals.
