SPoKEN.-The Alta COM
he course and conduct of GER
liticians who advocate fusion
"aid and comfort" treason
ION by endeavoring to smharrass
Ernmeut while engaged in war for
Ation of the country, thus remarks
kway with such hypocrisyl Away
such covert treason! Away with such
hess Let these traitors, who hate our
htry and hope for the success of its ene-
les, no longer claim privileges to which
ey have no moral right. Let them cease
ying to use cur State for the benefit of jeff
Ravis. Let them not expect, in case they
|4hould remain here, that any contingency
shall arise which will justify intelligent, 10y
al men in recognizing them as good citizens
-or seeking their political fellowship. Public
opinion will damn to everlasting infamy nat
only the traitors, but the trucking loyalists
who fuse with them. The disgrace Of the
Hartford Cony0ntion will be as nothing to
it. That did no harm. 1t was an empty
name. 1t was secret assemblage. 1t cost
no money. 1t cost no blood. 1t did not en-
danger the life of the nation. 1t was not
disloyal. And yet such was the dishnnor Of
it in the pubic opinion, that scarcely any
body connected with it was ever treated with
public confidence afterwards"

TRUSS.-These instruments are recommended to
the Public as the best ever yet invented. The
principle is new and different from szy others.
The Pad works over Knuckle, giving it a circu-
lar in'eard and rp'card motion, Ars being able to
support the rupture with half the pressure requir-
ed by other Trusses. The pain consequent upon
heavy pressure is therefore avoided.
These instruments Eill not rust, and are the
lightest most durable. and most ceanly of all 9TH

persons have been cured by them of ruptrres of
several years' standing.

TRUE 70 THE NAxE.-At the camp meet

learn from the appeal, by the Methodist

on Sunday last. One was named JEFF Davis,
another stonewall JACKSON, another Richard

why Mr.. SWEET should be Elected.

Because by education and profession he is
fitted for the place, certainly over amilitary
man or a preacher.
Because California is an unconditio>ally
loyal State, and his opponents are mainly
disloyal men.
Because the election Of an equivocal 10y
alist or aa open ascessionist, would destroy
forever the standing and influence of Cali.
fornia in the United States.
The prompt assumption by this State, Of
her portion of the public tax, gave US the Pa
ci Railroad. How proud will be the po-
u pn Of this State, if we elect Mr.. SWEET,
he platform on which he stands. He will
We the vote of no traitorous man. Who
for him shows thereby that he thinks
giant Republic, is dear to him, As

\ane or the other will decline run
eave the field open to the other,

more than their country.

THE California is loyal
State; Texas is a rebel State. In California
people talk, write and publish matters like
" to weaken the Government and to
strengthen treason, and nothing is done with
them in Texas a few persons who loved the
.old flag had it secreted in their dwellings
they made no display of it-and for this
they were hanged by the chivalrous soldiers
of rebeldom. 1t is time for loyal men to
eyince their earnestness in putting down the
rebellion.

There was q fair attendance on Change and the
markets were moderately actire.
The Provision market Was quiet. The demand
for Mess Pork is still light and the market remains
nominal. There are No orders to I'LL either for
Canada, New York OF Boston. and the calm which
prevails tends to frighten off mere spectators.
Of which there we're quite number few days
since. Prime Mess Pork is in limited demand
with sales Of GO bb!s at $S.25. For round lots,
however, there are buyers at $3.50. English Meats
are dull and the market on Cumberland 1Iiddles
shows'a decline Of $3.50 bzs having changed
hands at DC. Bulk Meats are in active demand for
the Baltimore trade, and we note sales OF 800 Oe0
Ds at s3sc for Hams and a3o loose. Lard is Sill
freely offered, but there Is rather more inquiry.
To-day $50 bb2s and tres were sold at for choice
city steam-eyaporated, 6ssc for prime city kettle,
63:c for city steam, and SIC fos Gut Lard
Tie receipts Of Hogs, live and dressed, amount

active, both By shippers and packers, and We
note an advance OF SC per 100 1hs-with sales at
$265@2s5 Live Hogs were easier-priccs show
Ing further decline Of 234@5c per 100 lbs. Only
about s. 00 head ctanged hands, at range Of s. 81
12.50 gross-the bn1k Of the gales being princi
pally at ~ sp@s35 for Light and g. 20 for heavy.
The tamand for Flour was more active and the
market was STEADY, with sales of COO bt1s ct s.
CASEY for fair to good Spring Extras, and $3.40
for good superfne. The Wheat market WAS esBi-

On Saturday morning party of officers
connected with the gallant Minnesota Second,
who participated in the glorious victory ,t
Somerset, arrived In this city en- route for
Minnesota, having been detailed for recruit
ing duty. The party numbered five persons,
as follows: Capt. Markham, Co. B.; Can't.
Foote, Co. 4; Sergeant Bailey, Co. a; Ser
geant White, Co. K; and Corporal Rampc Of
Co. G.
They report that their regiment had twelve
men killed and thfrty-three wounded; conse-
qucntly about one in every tweaty was hit.
The fatality would hare been much greater
but for the fact that three companies Of the
regiment, sharp shooters, occupied q ditch,
from the banks Of which they delivered q long
and mufderous fire upon the enemy, without
receiving scratch In return. About thirty
have died from disease, and many arc now
down with the measles. As soon as the neces-
sa1y recruits arc obtained, about seventy,
these gentlemen will Immediately rejoin their
regiment
Besides their personal experiences, the party
brought with them various trophies Of tho
fight. They 1ave an old-dashioued fint-lock
carbine, = sabre, with raised letters C. s. AZ
on the l.ilt, and . tooth pick which has q
blade about eighteen inches long, made out Of
zasp or large file, and fitted with hilt. The
regiment retain as momcntoes Of their dash
ing ya1o7, five secession flags. The party left
at noon, on Saturday, in the pursuance Of theiz
| orders.
