HxXRY EyERETT.--The Transcript "learns"
that Henry Everett, in the event OF the
ticket being endorsed by the Breckenridge
ConVention, will decline To run for the AS
semLiy, and urges them to nominate q man
in his place. The paragraph is intended to
create the impression that the Union Demo-
Gratis will support any one the Breckenridge
Convention may nominate, in case Everett
declines; but we can inform the Transcript
and all others Interested, that the Union
Democracy will have no candidate FORCED
upon them, and if any one of their candi-
dates should decline bis place will be filled
by representative Of their own principles
Mr.. Everett was nominated without bis
knowledge, but we have had no intimation
that be declined being candidate. The
Union Democracy will neither surrender
nor qualify their principles TO get the votes
oG the Breckenridge party; but we presume
there is not candidate on either ticket
who would decline votes. or who would
consider himself n rebel il secessiOGist

A EUROPEAN ALLY, PERHAPs.-AmOng
The late items of European news, We have
the announcement that Garibaldi has iSsu'
ed q proclamation for volunteers to assem-
bic 10 Sicily, announcing that the time for
action had come. The destination OF bis
expedition is unknown; but GaribaId' has
but one object to accompliSh-the union OF
Italy under Victor Emanuel-and whether
his Hrst movement will be to attack the
French at Rome, or the Austriaus in Veni-
tia, will probably remain secret until
the blow is struck. Ia either event, his
movements will be likely to divert the at
G.ntion of France aud England from the
American war to matters nearer home. and
in ~ hich they are more directly interested
they would scarcely attempt to intervene
10 American affairs when GAribald's le-
gions are in motion, aud the revolutions
~ elements of Europe are 6Ocking TO bis
standard. Possibly the Italian patriot
will thus prove an indirect ally of The
American Government.

FROM HUMBOLDT TO THE HEENEss PASS.
"A correspondent Of the Grass Valley Ma.

der date of Aug. lsl, as follows:
A party have been out for the purpose Of To-
eating a short route to California. They have
returned and say that a good road can be made
through desirable locality where there is plen-
ty Of food and good water. They purpose cross
ing the Humboldt river at Smiths Station, and
coming into the Henness road at the Big
Meadows, on the Truckee, which will be di-

EUROPEAN NEws.-Tbe following are
among the items OF European news, lately
lelegraphed from the East:
Paris correspondence Of the London Times
believes that the American question occupies
the most serious attention of Napoleon. and
that Council Of Ministers has been held upon
it, and would not be surprised II the subject be
laid before the English Government in still
more pressing manner, with the view Of Il
speedy solution. He says: II don't intend to
say whether the movement will be followed 6y
any immediate effect, or whether France will
take the lead, with the expectation that Eng
land cannot do otherwise than follow; or whether
both will act at the same time. l only know
that France is convinced that the present mo-
ment is most oppOrtune for united action" He
insinuates that President Lincoln and some Of
his advisers would not object to some gentle
pressure.
The Times cditorially points out the Federal
prospects as more gloomy; but the Daily News
combats such views, and speaks of the Northern
policy with continued confidence.
Most of the London journals allude to the
financial crisis in America, and reiterate their
structures upon the false financial policy of the
Government. The Evening Star charges the
Washington Cabinet with the most deplOrable
ignorance Of true economy.

FRENCH REINFORCEMENTs FOR MEXICO
Galignani's Messenger OF the 2lst Of June
says:
From motives of prudence, the Minister of
Marine has given orders to the Governors Of the
French Antilles to despatch Immediately to
Vera Cruz fresh contingent Of 100 Creole sea-
men and 100 native workmen of the Martinique
and Guadalupe engineers, under the command
of Capt. Marshall. This native force being per-
fectly disciplined and not being affected by dis
eases of tropical climates, will be in position
to render important service at Vera Cruz. They
will cause the employment Of a European gar
rison, which would suffer greatly from the cli-
mate, to be dispensed with.

inclined to look favorably upon the law, for we
believe that under it there will be an improved

built, and such further improvements made as
the interests of the people Of the various town
ships require. Each township will be gov
ernment of itself, and will have an opportunity
to advance those matters pertaining to its own
welfare, without depending upon the uncertain
action of Boards Of SupervisOrs.-[ [SOnOma

Though the city has upwards of SC, 900 inhabi-

returned as liable to do military duty is less

The Union County Convention met in the
4th District Court room last evening, and

delegate from the Sd district, and II.
Cooper, a delegate from the 9Th, were the
parties so sought to be bribed, and that The
money was from J. NJ. Strobridge, clotbier
understood to be in the Park interest; it was
shown that Messrs. DAILY aud Cooper took
the money as proof Of the attempted bri-
berry. and these gentlemen at once gave mp
the 5000 TO the convention to be disposed Of
in such manner as might be determined A
motion 10 divide the amount equally
between the Protestant aud Catholic or

finally agreed TO defer further consideration

be consulted as to the manner in which the
money should be used. The Convention

Destructive Fire at Sacramento.
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 3.
Soon after IL o'clock last night the ST.
Gorge Hotel was discovered to be on fire.
The fire originated in the drug store in the

first floor the fire extended from the drug
store to the clothing store Of JnO. Murphy,
and their nearly the entire stock, valued
at ten thousand five hundred dollars was

shop east OF the drug store was slightly
damaged by fire aud water. The sleeping

with ibe clothing in their rooms, was des-
troyed. Loss to dodgers in this way, about
Six thousand dollars. The drug store.

Fire mt Grass Valley.

A destructive lre occurred at Grass Val.
leyiyesterday evening. 1t broke out about
five O'Clock, in the rear Of Center Market,
on Main stree, and spread among the wood
en- buildings with fearful rapidity. Every
wooden structure between the Exchange
Hotel and Findlev's was consumed, iuclu-
ding out.houses and much property in the
rear of the brick stores. BY the exerIiODs
Of the fire company, and the citizens gener-
ally, the flames were at length subdued

The fire must have swept over the burnt
district 10 the course of fifteen or twenty
minutes. The smoke was seen at Nevada,
and being in the direction, II was supposed
at Grst that Grass Valley was burning up;
but It went down suddenly, leading to the
opinion that not more than one or two
houses could have burned. The telegraph,
we believe, was not working at the time.
It is not known how the fire originated;
but it is supposed 10 be the work Of an in-
cendiary.
