NJ LABouLAYE, a French writer and reviewer
of distinction, has recently published a series of
essays relating chiefly to the United States
In one of these he says, in language full OF sense
and significance
"Amrrica has not, as some suppose, new ana
semi -balbarous civilization, but cv llzatIon, III
many respects, far b, yond that of Europe Inc
soil, indeed. is new, but the society is OLD ~ IL
simply England transplanted-bul England WIN
out an Established church, without h0blllty'
without class privileges, without standing ar
my. In the South, indeed, there is ieuda aris
tocracy, resting ON slavery but IN the norm
and West there is the most powerful ana ehilsh1-
ened Democracy the world ever saw.

SENATOR BAKER, of Tulare, was arrested on his
return to Visalla on a charge of discouraging
cnlstments and utterlng reasonable sentiments
He was taken to a camp near by, and his trial
before a military board, was set for the 9th
Several complaints were lodged against him, but
he was arrested on the one which specified in
substance the Language already published. The
Visaia Delta says the Equal Rights E1pOsitor
(Which has been denied the mails) accuses 1t of
being the public prosecutor in this case, and the
Delta adds
ave have no objection to accept the very in
discreet challenge of the organ and II it is not
proven that he said what we published, and ten
times more, and ten times worse, then we will
have to bear the imputaton of having basely
prostitued our types aud pen. We at the start
announced our intention that the speech should
procure for him the mild penalty of expulsion

gard to the Constitutional amendments:
We have been Informed that the validity Of
the constitutional amendments, approved by the

persons whose offices they will vacate. The
ground taken is that the amendments, as they
were passed by the Legislature of 1862, dtfer in
two important particulars from the amendments
proposed by the Legislature the previous year.
The Sacramento Bee adds:
That is so aud not only do the adopted amend

from the published ones and the Constitution is
very plain and emphatic on this point-that the
amendments must be adopted by one Legislature.

POETRY.
TIL March to Richmond.


The following song will NJ lose its interest to o,
readers, although the march to Richmond has bet
postponed indefinitely. 1t was found printed al
set to music, in the pocket of dead Yankee on Il
bloody field at Malvern Hill who, with thousands
his deluded countrymen, found that march to Ricl
mond journey to the land "from whose bour ne q
traveller returns"
With knapsacks slung, and blithely sung,
We're marching on to Richmond,
With weapons bright. and hearts so light,
We're marching on to Richmond
Each weary mile, with song beguile,
We're marching on to Richmond,
The roads are rough, but smoothe enough,
To take us safe to Richmond;
Then tramp away. while the bugles play,
We're marching on to Richmond.
Our flag shall CLEAN, in the morning beam,
From many sTlIe il Richmond;
Our foes are near, their drums we hear,
They're camped about in Richmond;
With pickets out, to tell the route,
Our army takes to Richnlond
We've crafty foes, to meet our blows
No doubt they'll fight for Richmond;
The brave may die, but never fly
Wen cut our way to Richmond.
Then tramp away, &c.
But yesterday, in murderous fray,
While marching on to Richmond,
We parted here, with comrades dear,
While marching on to Richmond,
With many sighs and fearful eyes,
While marching on to Richmond,
We laid the braves, in peaceful graves,
While afehing on to Richmond;
Our friends away, are sad to-day,
Because we marched to Richmond;
With loving fear, they shrink to hear,
About our march to Richmond,
The pen shall tell, that those who fell,
While marching on to Richmond,
Had hearts agow and face to foe,
While marching on to Richmond.
Then tramp away, &c..
Our thoughts shall roam to scenes of home,
While marching on to Richmond;
The vacant chair, that's waiting there,
While on our march to Richmond;
Twill not be long, till shouts and song,
Wen raise aloud in Richmond;
And wars rude blast will soon be past,
And we'll 60 home from Richmond
Then tramp away, &c.

Genera, E.ee,s Army.

Personne'' of the Charleston Courier, says;
To q man the troops of this army feel an nn-
bounded confidence in their Commander-in-
Chief, and though he does fail to excite the same
enthusiasm as Jackson, whose old hat sent along
the lines would arouse a cheer at any time, he
nevertheless possesses that profoand respect
which places him at once above their criticism
The universal sentiment of the army IN this par
ticuIar is, s.whatever Gen'l Lee does is sure 10
be righs time will prove it.'' It's probably
this very thought that has enabled the men 50
soon to recover their disappointment in Mary
land.
