How CALIFORNIA WAS SAvRD.-It
has transpired that the rebel General
Albert Sidney Johnson, killed at Shi-
lob, concocted nice plan to possess
the secessionists of California at the
beginning of the rebellion. He was in
command at San Francisco. At a Civ
en- time the secessionists were to take
the forts with his conniyance, and seize
10000 stand of arms shipped there by
Floyd for the very purpose. San Fran
cisco, at their mercy, must have sue
cumbed, and the rebels would thus
have a port in which to fit out priva-
teers, and would likewise have obtain
ed control of the vast treasure of the
State. The fact was either known or
suspected at Washington. Brigadier
General E. Y. Sumner was appointed
to the command In California, and was
privily put on board ship at sea, arriv
ing i'll San Francisco without previous
intimation of his coming. He walked,
iqcognito, to the office of Johnson, in
formed 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 even
ing, the 10000 stand of arms at Benz
cha were secured. This brilliant but
quiet coup detat saved the Ell Dorado
State.
