THE REBEL CLARKsoN IN WESTERN
VIRGIEIA The Wheeling Intelligencer
learns from the Deputy United States
Marshal for Cabell county, that the rebel
Colonel Olarkson, with large force Of
cavalry, has been securing Oabell county
and the country between the Big Sandy
and Kanawha rivers for several days,
capturing prisoners and driving of cat.
tie, horses, and hogs. On Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday Of last sweek be
was in Cabell county, and approached
within twelve milcs of Guyandotte,
which he might do again with perfect
impunity, aud there are no troops near
enough 10 molest him or make him afraid.
He captured about forty Union men and
took them away with him. besides large
number of horses, hogs, and cattle.
Clarks0n came down through Tazwell
and Logan counties and returned by the

the regiments fire only at the command
OF their officers. You hear a drop, drop,

UNNECESSARY UNEAsNEss.-The Red
Bluff Beacon, an irritable and unreliable
paper, is giving itself great deal Of I'M
necessary uneasiness with respect to the
MOUNTAIN DENoCRAr. When We propose
to fuse with it or its sort, it will be time
enough to become indignant at the ppse-
Osition. We certainly have no desire to
do so at present--no desire to renounce
Democratic principles and embrace Re.
publicanism to please the Beacon, whose
good or i'll opinion Of the DEMOCRAT is q
matter Of profound indifference to US. 1t
would be repugnant to our feelings to be
compelled to affiliate with Democrats of
the BeGoOn's school, who admire Republi-
canism but are afraid to manfully express
their admiration. Should We ever re.
nounce our principles, desert our party
and bctray our friends, We shall not stop
ct the halfway house, but go clean over
to the enemy. We despise a man who,
while protesting to be Democrat, justi-
fies every arbitrary act and indorses every
unconstitutional measure, Of Republican
leaders. .~..r

TIE OATH.--The Nashville PATROL
publishes the following, as the oath taken
by the members of the Tennessee Legisla.
ture, at its recent session, and further
states, that no objection was made to il
in the House, though Senator Pickens OBJ.
jected, but afterwards yielded:
"YOu do sOlemnly swear to support the
Constitution of the Confederate States and Oi
the State Of Tennessee, and that, as a member
Of this General Assembly, you will, in all ap-
pointments vote without favor, affection, par
TALLY or prejudice and that you will not pro-
pose or assent to any bill, vote or resolution,
which shall appear to you injurious to the peo-
pie, or consent to any act or thing whatever
that shall have tendency to lessen or abridge
their rights and privileges, as declared by the
Constitution Of this State"
Freedom Of speech and of the press,
trial by jury and exemption from espion-
age, are some of the "rights and privi-
leges" guaranteed to them by the Consti-
tuition of the State; and the members of
the Legislature are compelled to swear
that they will consent to mo act or thing
whatever that shall have tendency to
lessen or abridge" them. Constitutional
rights ard privileges have been essentially
abridged in several of the loyal States of
our Union, under the plea Of State neces-
sity, but the time is rapidly approaching
when the people will no longer tolerate
such outrages.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, one of the
ablest Republican papers in the Union,
bitterly opposes Cameron'sp policy of "arm-
ing the slaves" which it is said the Pres
ident approves. The Inquirer says:
"Such a policy would slienute many loyal
men in the Border Slave States. It would dis.
pirit and possibly demorslize u large portion
Of the army. But worse than this, it would in
trGduce into war that 10 now humane and
holy savage ferOcity and brutality that every
Christian man and woman should shudder to
contemplate. 1t is idle " talk Of restraining
emancipated slaves with arms in their hands
within the bounds Of civilized warfare. Their
savage passions are incapable of any such re-
straint, and if once let losse they would not
discriminate between armed rebels and unre-
Sisting men, women and children; but massa-
ere and outrage. without distinction, all of the
dominant race"
The Inquirer is far more manly and
patriotic than the Republican papers aud
their allies in California. 1t has the cour.
age to denounce a pet measure Of three
members Of the Cabinet. 1t does not wait
to see whether the public will indorse or
condemn it before it speaks. Pity that
the Union and other war organs have less
courage, independence and humanity.
We have waited impatiently for the Un-
ions views on the subject, and fear we
shall have to wait much longer before it
can be induced to take sides.

How THE SLAVES FEEL.--Republican
authority on this point ought to be con-
elusive. 1t is not to the interest of Re-
publicans to magnify the devotion Of the
slave to his master. If proved true it
would be ruinous to their party. 1t would
disabuse the public mind with respect to
the cruel treatment Of the Shareholders.
Mr.. Robert Morgan, prominent citizen
OF Cincinnati, has just returned from
Charleston to that city, and the Cincin.
natl Gazette, an influential Republican
paper, says:
"Morgan's extensive acquaintance in the
city, and daily intercourse With the newspaper
men and others who would be likely TO know
something about the condition Ofaffairs, enabled
him to obtain much valuable information. He
represents that the slaves are deeply interested
10 the struggle now going on between the two
sections, but that their sy1npGthies are sOhONy
and smtirSly UiA tie South. More confidence
is placed 10 them than ever, and no fears Of
instruction are entertained"

There is nothing the Secessionists Of Califor-
MIA so much dread as the con templated cOali-
ton Of Republicans and Union Democrats
AdrysUi1e appeal.
AS the Appeal classes the DEMOCRAT
among the "SecessionistS, We must be per-
mitted to remark that the contemplated
coalition OF Republicans and Union Demo-
Gratis" causes US not the slightest dread. "
If Union Democrats desire to fuse
with Republicans they have our cordial
permission to do so. 1t will be happy
and profitable marriage and not an unnat-
ural one, if they agree in sentiment. We
cannot see the propriety Of two Admins
tration parties in California; and all Union
Democrats who indorse the measures of
the Administration properly belong to the
Republican party, else they are mere man.
worshipers and care nothing for measures.
Union Democrats, with Republican pro-
clivities, owe it to themselves to throw off
the thin disguise that covers but does not
conceal their duplicity. Let them 60
where their feelings are, in the Republi-
can camp. No loyal Democrat will regret
their departure nor welcome their return
to tho good old party.

Taxes FOR THE WAR.-An exchange
says the assessment to be made by an
Act of Congress ito pay interest on the
public debt and for other purposes" is
laid on tho value Of all lands and lots Of
ground, with the improvements and dwell
ling houses, at the rate each Of them is
worth in money on the first day Of April,
1862; but such property belonging to
any individual who actually resides there
on as shall be worth the sum of $500
shall Be exempt" Any State may assume
and collect the tax, and in that case 8 de-
duction of fifteen per cent is made. OF
course California will assume and collect
the tax, and the present Legislature, At
the earliest possible moment, should pass
an act to this effect 1t will be the cheap.
est and most convenient way for our peo-
pie to pay the tax. 1t would be folly to
resist its collection, even if any were so
disposed, which we do not believe.

WHAT A CBANGE.-John Cochrane, the
amiable demagogue, who desires to arm
the slaves of the South, declared on the
floor of Congress, less than one year ago,
that If the Republicans refused to adopt
the Crittenden compromise propositions
then pending, "and began a war Of CO.
erciOn against the South, that our army
would be met before it passed the city Of
New York" They rejected Crittenden's
propositions in spite of his threats, and
the frightened John, spprehensive that
his loyalty might be suspected by his old
opponents, tout. Herods Herod" in his
fiendish malignity against his old friends !!
Such is the consistency of this consum.
mate demagogue.

Mason AND SLIDELL-The news OF the
surrender Of Mason and Slidell to the
British Government by the AdministrA'
ton, has been confirmed. While some Oh
the Republican and independent papers
characterize the action Of the Administra'
ton as humiliating. cOwardly and dis
graceful, we shall do nothing Of the kind
but take it for granted that Seward acted
judiciously, until the contrary shall be
proved. Seward must have had potent
reasons for surrendering them. What
those reasons we're have not yet been made
public; and it is unjust and ungcnerouS
to condemn him in advance. We believe
his explanation will be satisfactory. The
honor of the country was placed in bis
hands, and if he sacrificed it through fear,
as many assert, he is al arch traitor ard
deserves a traitors doom. Sagacious and
Jealous of his country's honor VIC believe
him to be, and, believing so, we shall
wait for his explanation before censuring
him or questioning his craftsmanship
or patriotism.

CHANGE IN THE OVERLAND MAIL route
From some unexplained cause, it seems
that our Congressional delegation are dis
satisfied with the central route and are
trying to get the Postotcc Department to
give it the cold shoulder. The Alta saws ::
- We understand that the Government
contemplatcs sending out an expedition
for the exploration Of an intermediate
route, either for the whole or part Of the
way, to ST. Louis, which will be available
throughout the winter months. 1t will
start from Fort Yuma as soon as some
Of the giments now in process Of organl-
cation in the interior are ready to take the
place of the troops now stationed at that
point The object will be to explore a
route by the TETON Pass to Salt Lake or,
if that be impracticable, in consequence
of the want of water, by Albuquerque in
New Mexico, and thropsh Kansas TO the
Missouri river" 1t is said that Latham
and McDougall are the orisinators of this
expedition. and both are hostile to the
Central route. The Central route has
been tried and its feasibility demonstrated.
aud it should not be abandoned merely
to please the whims or prcjudices Of the
California Senators.

still stands uncontradicted.

READ, FARxERs.-The american Agri-
eulturist informs US, upon the highest
authority, that the deficiency in the wheat
crop in France alOneis estimated at sixty.
four millions bushels! That the Roman
Government has prohibited any export Of
grain; that the harvest has been less pro-
ductive in the great wheat-growing Baltic
Provinces; that Spain, Belgium and Hol-
land will be buyers of grain this year /;
and that the foreign demand for wheat
this year for Great Britain alone is sixty
six millions bushels! There will be less
raised in the Western States this year
than usual, and California will find a
ready market for all she can produce
Let our farmers make note of this and
put in large crop.

SHORT OF SroCK.-The Silrer Age, Of
the 25th Of last month, complains that
the merchants Of Carson City are running
short Of staple articles Of trade. AS the
storms since then and up to the present
time have ragged violently in the noun.
tains, it is probable that there will be a
pressing demand in Nevada Territory for
groceries and provisions by the time the
roads again become passable. Flour, su.
gar, candles, coffee and soap are the arti-
cles most in demand. A forwarding firm
in this place informs us that they, have
orders for an immense amount Of freight,
but they are uuable to ship it 1t is not
an easy matter to get goods from Sac'a-
mento, the roads being in such wretched
condition. A number of pack trains are
lying idle, waiting for the weather to
settle. AS soon as the storm subsidies
they will start with goods for the Eastern
slope.

II appears that the Cabinet Is divided
upon the emancipation question, but 1t is
probable that the Administration will,
before the adjournment Of Congress, adopt
it II is not unlikely that those members
Of the Cabinet opposed to emancipation
will be induced to resign. The well'in-
formed Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, an ardent RePub-
lican and said to be . clerk in the War
Department, says:
"Persons uceQ Informed say that the Cabinet
stands four TO three against freeing the slaves,
and putting arms 10 their hands to put down
the rebellion.
General Cameron, Secretaries Chase and
Wells EdpOr Il. and Seward, Bates, Blair aud
Smith oppose it. The most bitter opposition
10 made BY Smith, Blair and Seward. The
President is understood to fdrOr u, though he
has not come out yet like the Cabinet menu
bers."
1.-THE President is understood to be in
favor Of freeing the slaves, and putting
arms in their hands to pat down the re-
bellion." Do not the war advocates pro-
fess to be engaged in a war for the pres
CREATION Of the Constitution And does
not the Constitution guarantee slavery !
Is it to be trampled upon under the con-
venient plea of State necessity"f When
Cameron approved the Infamous and afro
cious policy Of COchrane, it was generally
supposed that he spoke the sentiments Of
the Administration. after full consultation.
" The President fs70Ts it, +" says the cor
respondent of the Inquirer /; and II he IA
vors it, isit not reasonable to presume that
his whole Cabinet will be uitiUnAteiy pre-
vailed upon to indorse it! Weare salts
fed that it will be the issue, and pOliti-
clans may as well take sides now as few
months hence. We mistake the intelli-
gence and patriotism Of the American
people if they do not Indignantly repudi-
date the authors and supporters of pol
icy so atrocious and revolving.
