IA Military REQUEST"

G. Wright, who by the grace of God is
Military Commander on this coast under
Abraham Lincoln addressed the following
letter to Samuel H. Parker, Post Master at
San Francisco, on Tuesday, the 2sth day of
October last:--
Sir have to request that orders may
be given prohibiting the transmission through
the United States Mails, AS well As any
Express Companies, of the toIlo~p papers:
"'lhe Weekly Mountain Democrat, pub
shed at Placervie. Fl Dorado County, Cal
''rhe Oregon WeeM5 Union--pubIshed
at Cor, alis, Oregon"
Very r specially,
G. WRIGHT.
Brigader General U. S. Army Commanding.
We have but few remarks to make about
the above "request" OF sc WTgbt" it
speaks for itself, but we doubt much its re
ceving the Endorsement of the people of
California. It's simply tyranny, which the
people will condemn at the proper time.
If We had Governor, who had even sense
enough to understand what are the rights of
citizens, these usurpatons would be pro ested
against in language that could not be misun-
derstood. In the name Of American liberty
we ask, when will such acts cease in States
where Courts exist, and which are compel
tent to try all offences.
The following papers have been denied
the use Of the mails, on this coast.
September 81, 1862, Stockton Democrat,
Cal.

A KENTUCKY GovERNoR.-Gov. Powell, Of
Kentucky, was never an orator, but his con.
versational, storytelling and social qualities
were remarkable. His great forte lay in es.
tablishing personal intimacy with every one
he met, and in this way he was powerful in
electioneeripg. He chewed immense quanti-
ties of tobacco, but never carried the weed
himself, and was always begging it of every
one he met. His residence was in Henderson
and in coming up the Ohio past that place
overheard the following characteristic anecdote
of him.
A citizen of Henderson coming on board
fell into conversation with passenger, who
made inquiries about Powell.
"Lives In your place, believe, don't he 20
