When the common call Of our countr7

As elected by the company, have endea7
cred to serve in the capacity Of chaplain for

good has been accomplished, but a great
amount of backsliding is visible. Surprising
it is to see that men who were firm at home
have lost their religious standing entirely y
Such is the demoralizing influence Of the
army. And It ever there was time when

The Richmond E1a7ais,er thinks there Will
soon be two great battles-one in Kentucky,
another in Eastern Virginia, The Esa'nines'
says:
1T the South should be beaten on both fielaa,
ehc could hardly expect for some TING to get
together two armies Of any magnitude aud
would have to depend altogether upon the
virtues Of Fabian policy, and general sys-
ten OF sEizmishing against the enemy. # the
South, on the other hand, should gea1 both
battles, thetSorth would be compelled to de-
sist from aggressive measures for such length
oftime sc would require to organize and dis
ciuline other new armies. Considering. the
| low state Of their exchequer, the period re.
quired for this purpose would be SO long that
| q virtual SUSPENSION Of invasion wonld*,e The
result, and the South would be enabled to
carry invasion 10 their Own doors. Such au
| invasion, though only partially successfal.
would 7i1tualy end the war, especially If it n.
suited in ttampeding the Lincoln Government
from Washington.
! The Examiner, however, takes comfort ir

CHA1RA1Gx, Dec. 70, 1861.
at the outgoing Of the year Is proper time
to take retrospect Of its results and to lay
plans for the future. If ne have committed
errors in selection of crops or in our mode of
culture, now while t W'ubject is fresh before
us, Is Of al occasion3 le most appropriate to
investigate the cause and make record Of the
fact.
The Tar has brought Us new condition Of
things, and the consequence is that q reEolu-
ton in the great agricultural staples Of the
State is now IN progress.
, 1861-12-31

The crop Of marketable potatoes through.
ont the State is much less than usual, and OF
poor quality, but as the usual demand from
The South IS not to be supplied, we may not
look for large advance in the price. IN some
while in Others little damage has beea done.
On tho whole the yield was Light With small
breadth planted. RURAL.

The M0BBNG OF SENATOR JoHNsON.-We
find in an exchange, the following particu-
lars OF the mobbing of Senator johnson, OF
Tennessee, at Lyncbburg. Va, brief ac-
count Of which was received some weeks
ago. The affair happened about the middle
of April:
While on his way home from Washington,
Senator Johnson passed through Lynchburg,
and hearing that he was in the cars, large
crowd gathered around. They completely
blocked up the way to and from the cars. Some
one proposed ''three groans" for him, which
were responded to. William w. Hardwicke,
editor ofthe Lynchburg Republican, then walked
up to him, and insulted him with several cpl
thets of denunciation, catching at his nose. The
fury of the mob ran so high, that the car doors
were locked to prevent the Tennessee official
from being molested. The Superintendent of
the road made his way to where Gov. Johnson
was seated and informed him that the treat
ment extended to him was the legitimate fruits
of his conduct in sending over the telegraph
line to East Tennessee the infamous dispatches
that had been intercepted at Lynchburg by or
der of Governor Letcher, advising them to
"stand by the Union" and that if he was guilty
of their authorship he could not pass over the
road. Governor johnson denied that he had
sent the dispatches to which they alluded, and
thus secured his passage through.

THE New Orleans Picayune, on receiving
telegraphic report of the response at the
North 10 the Presidents call for volunteers,
said:
We are unwilling to believe the telegraphic
reports Of the total apostacy of the majority OF
the citizens of the city of New York, who have
ever professed to be the friends of the South,
and the opponents of Black Republicanism, as
their vote in the Presidential contest exhibited.
We know that there are good men and true
there, who are willing to stand by the South to
the last. We have been informed by a gentle
man lately from that city, that all the tele-
graphic reports from thence in relation to this
apostacy of New York citizens are enormously
exaggerated. If it be not so, the change is GER
tainiy very extraordinary. What has become
of the Union procession of the bone and sinew
of New York city, which turned out seven miles
in length, in opposition to the Wide-Awakes'
We shall wait for confirmation before we are
willing to believe in the apostacy of New York
city.
The bone and siNew of New York, which
turned out in opposition to theWide-Awakes,
have now turned out 10 opposition to the
Secessionsts. Their defeat at the late elec-
ton didn't make them traitors to their
country.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-18

THE MEN THEY TRusTED.--Tbe two North
ern men who have done more than any 9th
ers to encourage the present revolt In the
South, are Daniel S. Dickinson and Caleb
Cushing, and both are now fierce coercion
lists. Dickinson in late speech to some
volunteers expressed the hope that the
South would be "wiped out" aud Gushing
is endcavoring to get military commits
sion to fight the Secessionists, over whose
Convention he presided at Baltimore. or
late years, both Of these men have been 10
the habit of denouncing their own section,
and have villainously misrepvesented North
ern sentiment. For this reason the South
trusted them, and they are now reaping
the bitter fruits Of the deception of which
they were the willing victims. When Cush-
ing stated not long since, that there were
City thousand men In Massachusetts, who
would fight against any force that attempt
ed to leave that State to put down rebellion,
he knew he was stating falsehood, but the
secessiOnists believed him because it suited
their traltorous schemes. On no former Oc-
casion, since the days of the Revolution,
was the North SO thoroughly united in any
one object as In the present effort to main
tain the integrity of the nation. Men and
means enough to crush out the rebellion
have already been offered, and If the power
at the disposal of the Government is used
wisely the Union will yet be preserved.

HANGS ON 10 TUE FLESH PoTs.--A dis
patch to the Sacramento Bee says that Maj.
Gillis, Buchanan's Collector at Benica,
refuses to give up the Office to Mr.. Swain,
who was lately appointed, by Lincoln. 1t
will matter but little how long Gillis holds
on, as the Collector ofthat sport" has moth
ing to do, and the newly appointed Official
will doubtless draw the pay from the time he
was preparedito take possession Of the of
flee. This is the first case we have heard
of iu which Breckinridger insisted on
holding Office under Black Republican
Administration.

AN APPRoPRlATE DEsIGN.--AmOng the
numerous designs for flag for the Confed-
crate States, submitted to the flag commit
tee of Congress, was one representing seven
rattlesnakes tied together by the tails, with
bale of cotton on one side and jug Of
whisky on the other. The fellow who. got
up this model has the fire of genius in him,
and deserves an Office under the cottOn
Government

DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.-A
Frenchman living near West Point, Calaveras
county, attempted to commit suicide one day
last week. His preparations we're all made
with an evident design to secure decent bur-
ial. He dug grave and partially covered
himself up, then placed pistol under his chin
and fired; the ball went up through his face,
lodging behind his right eye, causing i to pro-
about four days, unable to extricate himself,
when his groans attracted the attention of some
miners, who rescued him from his dismal stu
alton. He was taken to the county hospital
TCalaveras Chronicle.

burcio had an encounter with grizzly, at

A UNION MEETING was held at Downie-

Judge Yanelief presided, and strong Union
resolutions were adopted. Judge Taylor,
A. w. Baldwin and Col. Platt advocated the

Mr.. Baldwin, we believe, is nephew of
Judge Baldwin, of The Supreme Court.

SUBLIMITY.-An eastern correspondent re-

people in New York were awaiting news from
Washington, the bells of old Trinity began to
peal out the "Star Spanged Banner" The
people stopped and listened-just rs the surg
ing food is silent moment, when an avalanche
has damned it up. Then they began to shout,
and scream, and fling up their hats, in response
to the sacred and patriotic bells.

PREMATURE BLAsT.-On the Both ult.,
whilst Mr.. v. v. Heacock was blasting rock on
the Oglesby road, about thirty miles east of
Placerville, premature explosion took place
by which his eyes and face were badly injured.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-18

ACCORDING to late dispatches from Wash
ington, it was expected that the Govern
ment would commence active operations
about the first of May. 1t was reported
that the first demonstration would be to re-
take the Custom House at Alexandria and
the GOsport Navy Yard at Norfolk. The
next Pony will bring dates to the 10th inst,
and if the reports are we'll founded we shall
probably have some stirring intelligence.
We doubt very much whether any offensive
demonstration will be made until after the
meeting of Congress, unless it be to repel a
threatened attack on Washington. If a
force leaves Richmond with the avowed, or
supposed, intention!of attacking the Capital,
the Government troops will be likely to
meet them half way, and check their fur
ther progress.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-05-18

To BE ABANDoNBD.-The Los Angeles
News says that Fort Mojave is to be abandoned
as unnecessary for military or defensive pur-
poses.
