that the Federal Government, by manning
the forts here, had actually declared wal
against the State Of California; but they have

takes up the cue, and asks
fWhat are we coming to- when the Fed
eral Government prepares TO overawe and
intimidate the people of a State, who have
offended in nothing, but who have steadily
pursued the path of duty and pleasure, rem
derng obedience to the law, maintaining the
Constitution invioate and keeping unbroken
faith not only with the Federal Government,
but with each sister State, and with every
section of the Union? When have we often
ded? What have we done, that a strong
military force is to be placed in our harbor
for no other purpose than to intinidate the
people ?"
win the Express be kind enough to inform
us what it is going to do about it? That
paper did not object to the construction oI
these forts--not at all-it applauded Con-
gress when it made appropriations therefor
| and what are forts without men? What are
they for but to be manned? Not to overawe
the State. but to punish foes without, and

Humiliation" and remarked
"That the present perilous state of affairs
at the South, would never have come to pass
but for the divisions in the Church. Both
sections taking their cue from the teaching OF
the Bible, as they variously understood it,
had bitterly assailed each other until church,
es and religious societies were rent in twain,
and this bad example was being sadly follow
ed. 1t was the sins of the people that had
tempted God to leave us for awhile to the
driving OF our own stormy passions; and
among these great sins of the people he emu
merated their profanity-more universal than
in any other nation on the globe; their lewd-

their children soberly and righteously But

MAuYsylLE NEWSPAPERS The editor Of

newspapers;
Three daily papers craiate political light

crat. They receive their tclegraphic news a
few seconds before their contemporaries of
Sacramento; or if this be not always SO, they
can at least Dispatch back upon the mining
camp all they do know several hours ahead
of their mere ponderous opponents of Sacra-
ramento aud the Bay city. So that what
the Bulletin and Union bring up WITH is
generally day stale. Although there is an
active newspaper competition between those
establishments, no one can say there prevails
an cnmty, or language derogatory to the
supposed educational standard of Christian
Gentlemen. This standard varies with lati-
tude and longitude; but, as one of the craft

"Ihere is something in the wind which |

organize the militia and place all the arms
of the State in the hands of the companies
thus organized, with the understanding that
all persons belonging TO these companies are
