Apply the Test.

War is now raging in the country between
armies-one defending the Union, the other
attempting to overthrow it. Every man
who reioices in the success of the Federal
troops when a battle is fought, is Union
man and any man who is gralifed at the
success Of the Rebel army, is Seceesionl7'.
Some men fear that war cannot save the
Union but all such, if Union men, as war is
upon us-as battles are being fought to try
that means of preserving the Union-rejoice
over the success of the Federal troops, and
mourn their defeat All disunionists deplore
the success of the Federal troops, and rejoice
al their repulse
How stands the case with the nominees for
Office on the Breckipridge Mcdonnell ticket
They viii have the audacity to tell the people
on the stump and through their press that
they are Union men--reve ere the hng-expect
to live and die under its sacred folds. Let
the voters apply the test to them everywhere.
ASK them the one plain question, do you
desire the success of the Federal army in the
battles now being fought between the red
eral and rebel armies2' The question can be
answered yes or no. The man who answers
yes with a clear ringing voice. will do to
trust, but the man who stops to argue the
point, explain, has IFS and conditions, is not
Union man at heart
This is no time for "cheating or being
cheated" Let's have the answer-Yes or No
Every man who is for the Union can answer
es," to the question in clear voice. that
will fall upon the ear like the ringing of
bell. Voters, put the question to eandates
everywhere, from the highest to the lowest
on the ticket.
This is no time TO allow men to enjoy the
franchises of the people, who are eympa-
thisers with those in arms attempting TO
oV Verthrow the Government from which those
franchises flow. Let the test be applied.

Try AGA1N-Tho San Francisco Times is
engaged in trying TO show that the Union
Democratic party is unsound, and parades, as
proof, the fact that such men as Edmund
Randolph and John r. Mcconnell have lc0
oar ranks According to the Times, those
worthless must be Union men, They would
never desert an un.ouud party. if they were
themselves uneound. Perhaps the Times
does not like to see Union Democrats fight in
the war against rebellion. 1t cannot be

THE LATE NEws-The Marysville Express,
secession paper has the following

TIE LATE NEws-The Marysville Express,
secession paper, has the following:
"But there is something connected with
that we don't understand. 1t is this: The
disastrous battle at Manassas junction took
place on the 2lst, and the Pony before the
last brought news to the oath, but no intelli-
gence was received of the battle. 1t is not
possible that the result of euch battle was
not known so long after it was fought Why,
then did not the ASSOCIATED Press" to- wit {.
the Sacramento Union, the Bulletin and Alta
publish this news? Was it suppressed, and
if so. what for? These are the questions"
The above questions are dictated either by
spirit of maliciousness, or of ignorance,
probably the former. No news was received
by the Pony referred to later than the 10th
from Washington, or the Goth from st, Louis,
ne will appear from our columns, or on refer
ence to the telegraph Office In caption Of
the news the figures oath occurred, but the
detaiis showed that there was typograph-
ical error, and that the ndvices were only to
the 18th and goth, as above stated If the
Express was not actuated 10y malice, it only
show We that its ignorance Of how news is OBJ
tanned Is most consummate. If the former
Pony brought news TO the oath, it must have
traversed the continent in six DAYS, having
arrived at the western telegraph station on
the SOFIA feat which has never been ac-
complshed yet, even by that fast little nni-
mal-SacrdHento Union.

Discourteous and Ungentlemanly.

With full knowledge Of the responsibii-
ty we Incur, we are forced to say that after
the battle of Bulls Run, some things were
done which we cannot cordially approve.
Although High Chivalry prides itself upon
regarding all the nictties OF polite life, and
assumes to be the especial guardian Of all the
social virtues, we are panied at being com
PEELED TO say that ungenteei practices were
INDUCED in by the gentlemen under the com
mand of the Frenchman Beauregard. For
example: The gentleman rebel who was
found wounded by Connecticut soldier. aud
was by him carefully lifted to shady place,
and furnished with a cooling draught, dis
played great rudeness in shooting his bene-
factor through the heart The act was not
in conformity with the Chesterfeldian code.
1t Was improper. We trust hat we do not
offend. when we say that the act was ungen-
tlemanly
Then, again, the bayonetting Of wounded
Federal troops upon the roadside was uncalled
for. We trust that we d. not offend, when
we say that it was discourteous and impoile.
But worse than all, the firing. repeatedly,
upon hospital filled with wounded United
States soldiers, was offensive. w deprecatc
such things. We would not for the world
offend the patrons of the Express, but we
cannot refrain from expressing the opinion
that the burning of wounded soldiers by
firing n hospital, is highly uncharitablc, and,
as we said of the previously named acts I'M
gentlemauly and discourteous. We hope
that the "cIever gentlemen" who are engaged
under jeff Davis, will try and avoid these
practices in the future. We appeal to their
fraternal love, their reputed good breeding,
and their horror OF all rudeness, and meekly
hope that our men may hereafter be saugh-
| tered according to the rules Of civilized war
fare. How can we arrive at peaceful sou-
! tions" unless the rebels conduct themselves
genteelly. The peaceful inclination of the
Davis traitors is well enough known by us,
but how can we expect to convince the peo-
| pie Of the North of their lamb like desires,
while wounded Northern soldiers are burn
ing in church temporarily used for hospi-
tai We have n desire to be moderate and
conservative, and that is our reason for al
luding to the subject we are on. We beg of
the Express to aid us in our endeavor to eu-
tivate feeling of fraternal affection between
the burners and the burned. Let modera-
tion prevail
