Eeecher on the War.

Henry Ward Beechef thus closes a re-
view OF the manner in which the war has
been conducted under the auspices of Se-
ward in the Cabinet, and Mcclellan in the
field:
Meantime in this dismal year of mill
tary incompetency, we have weakened the
hands of al that sympathized with us in
foreign lands, and multiplied and strength
ened our enemies. Is it strange that, at
length, there should be great political re-
vulsion, and that we should be brought to
the third stage of this eonfiict-the politi-
cal? Such result was inevitable No
one that is not living among tie people, in
daily familiar converse, can conceive of
the WEAKNESS, the disappointment, the ae-
tuai disgust, that was felt for the general
conduct OF national affairs
Taking advantage of this state of affairs,
favored by the absence of hundreds Of
of men in the armies. there arose a section
of men whose antecedents aud instincts
led them into sympathy with slavery, who
engineered ali opposition party Besides
the men who favoved secession, or who
with the Woods openly avowed that doc
trine of state rights, which is the vital
principle of secession; besides those who
hated Abolitionists with such fervor and
sincerity that IN comparison their dislike
of slavery was tame, and seemed almost
of the nature of a liking; besides those
strong party men who thought this good
time for the rejuvenation of the old Dem
ocratic party,-there were enough real
and sincere Union men that went over
from disgust or in hopes that any change
would be for the better, to make up the
majority in the several States that have
gone for the opposition.
This last great period we have just en-
tered No man can foretell It's history
The substantial unity Of the North is bro
ken. To all our other difficulties, we're
now to have added a sharp, fierce, unscru-
pulous party warfare We neither hope
nor despond We wait Should the same
influence continue to mould the policy at
Washington-the same vague hopefulness,
the same silly tenderness to malignant en-
emies. the same infatuated expectation of
bringing retels back by moral suasion
and a forbearance which, considering our
military disasters, can be regarded only
as impotence, then will come fearful year
through whose lucid shadow we may dis
Germ rancrous hatreds, disastrous wars,
and yet more disastrous peace
But, if new counselS are taken, and
men of moral convictions and practical
instincts are allowed to give counsel III
place of fruitless dreamers, we may see,
ere the year rolls half its ronnd, an open
Mississippi, reclaime / .seaports, the rebel
capital won, their armies broken and cap
tured. or driven into the Businesses OF the
mountains.
There has nothing happened yet to pre-
vent an illustrious termination of Mr.. Lin
coins administration But it must first
/ be by the exercise Of forces, counsels, and
men not hitherto employed.

How CALIFORNIA WAS SAyED.-It has
transpired that the rebel General Albert
Sidney Johnston, killed at Shiloah, con-
certed nice plan to possess the secess-
lonists of California at the beginning of
the rebellion. lie was in command at
San Francisco. At given time the Sc
cessionists were to take the forts with his
connivance, and seize 60, 900 stand of arms
shipped there by Floyd for the very pur-
pose. San Francisco, at their mercy,
must have succumbed, and the rebels
would thus have had port in which to
fit out privateers, and would likewise have
obtained control of the vast treasure of
the State. The fact was either suspected
or known at Washington. Brigadier Gen
eral Z. V Sumner was appointed to the
command in California, and was privily
put on board ship at sea, arriving IN San
Francisco without previons intimation of
his coming He walked, incOgnito, to the
Office of johnson, informed him that he
was his successor, showed him his papers,
and demanded immediate possession.
The astonished rebel had no alternative
but to comply. In half an hour after, all
the guns OF the forts were run out on the
land side, and heavily shotted The same
evening, the 10000 stand of arms at Be-
nicia were secured This brilliant but
quie, coup d etat saved the Ell Dorado
State.

The SpeakeTship

4 number of names have already been
brought forward by our Exchanges as
candidates for the speakership of the
Assembly The position Is one of much
more Importance to. the people OF the State
than is generally supposed. Very much
depends upon that officer, not only in the
appointment of committees that will attend
to all business referred to them In prop
or time and manner, in order TO facilitate
the business of the House. but also in the
prouptness of the Speaker himself IN the
dispatch of business before the Assembly.
Among the gentlemen favOrably spoken
Of IN connection with the speakershIp. IS
Dr.. JoHS H VIviAS, Of this city, and we
are inclined to the opinion that no one
elected TO the Assembly, possesses in a
higher degree, the necessary qualifications
for tho position. His Legislative expert
ence, though not perhaps as great as that
OF some of the members, has been well
improved in qualifying himself for any
position 70 which he may be called. Wei
versed in Parliamentary usages, prompt
in action, and q gentleman of unquestion-
ed ability, few men would fll the office Of
Speaker vs. ith more credit to themselves or
profit to the State. He is emphatlcally a
working man, as he proved himself during
tho last session We trust the Assembly
will avail itself OF the services of DIR Wv
ian as its Speaker, for We have no doubt
Of his fitness for the place.
