How California was Saved.

II has transpired that the rebel General
Albert Sidney johnson, killed at Shiloh,
concerted nice plan to possess the sccess-
ionists of California at tho beginning of the
rebellion. He was in command ut San
Francisco. At a given time the seccssionists
wero to take tho forts at his connivsnce,
and seize &C, 900 stand OF arms shipped there
by Floyd for the worry purpose. San Fran
cisco, at their mercy, must have succumbod,
and the rebels would thus have had q port
in which to fit out priva.eers, and would
likewise have obtained control of the vast
treasure OF the State. The fact was oithor
konwn or suspected at Washington. Briga.
dier General e. v Sumner was appointed
to tho command in California, and was
privily put on board ship at sea. arriving in
San Francisco without previous in,imation
of his coming. He walked. incOgnrto, to the
Office of johnson, Informed him thai he was
his successor, showed him his papers, ard
demanded immediate possession. The as-
tonished rebel had no alternative but TO
comply. In half an hour after, oil tho guns
on the forts were run cut on the land side
and heavily shotTed. The same evening,
the $4,000 stand of arms at Benicia were
secured. This brilliant but quiet coup d etdt
saved the Ell DoIado State.

Paying the Fiddler.

As We approach the slime of the great tax,
it is interesting to know--wbo pays: To
find an answer to this question, We have
been reading the tax bill. and the answer
appears to be-everybody. The tax bill.
like a curiously coDtrived net, is designed
to drag tho whole country, each, every one.
Big or little, there is no escape. If il is o
calamity, each sufferer has the entire com.
munity for companions and sympathizers.
Let US give up grieying. then, and 60
cbeerfuhy to work. We are all brothers
now, devoted to single cause. Look where
you will, you see your neighbors indus
triously helping to pay the tax. Every
butcher who knocks a calf on the head
knocks tax on the head, also. Not lady
lifts parasol, but she likewise lifts por-
ton of the public burden. The fop wears
a little of it out With his patent leather;
and the farmers stout boots trampie it un-
der foot, and the horse that is harnessed, ,''or
the horse that is saddled, assists TO draw or
carry il. The auctoneer's hammer knocks
away tit Tho apothecary's pestls pounds
away at it. You drink it with your coffee
aud chocolate, and smile to think everybody
is doing the same. A little Of il disappears
with the topor's brandy. A little more OF
it is burnt with every cigar. The chewer
of guilds chews at it. The bowler bowls at
il. Not q sick man buys q bottle Of msdi.
cine COR his own constitutions, but be also
takes a little for tho Constitution of his
country. Tho dentist, filling your tooth, 10
filling Uncle Sans pocket at the same time.
Every traveller by steamboat or railway 10
going. not on his own business only, but is
doing little at the time for the said uncle.
With the shutting of every pack of cards.
something of tho nations debt is shufied sf.
Every furnace. stove. and gas burner helps
consume il. Children suck 1t with their
