How CALIFORNIA WAS SAvEp-It has
transpired that the rebel General Albert Sid
ney Johnston, killed a t Shiloh. con-
certed nice plan to possess the Sc.
cessionists OF California at the beginning of the
rebellion. He was in command at San Fran
cisco; AT given time the secessionists were
to take the forts with his connivance, and
seize $4,000 stand of arms shipped there by
Floyd for the very purpose. San Francisco at
their mercy, must have succumbed, and the
rebels would thus have had a port in which to
mt oat privateers, and would likewise have OBJ
tanned control of the vast treasures of the
State. The fact was either suspected or
known at Washington. Brig.-Gen. E. v.
Sumner was appointed to command in Cali
fornia. and was pnvily put on board ship at
sea, arriving in San Francisco without preyi-
Gus intimation of his coming. He walked. in
cognito, to the Office of Johnston informed him
that be was his successor, showed him bis pa
pers, and demanded immediate possesson.-
The astonished rebel had no alternative but to
comply. In half an hour after, all the guns of
the forts We're run out on the land side, and
heavily shotted. The same evening, the Co.
600 stand of arms at Beneoia were secured
This brilliant but quiet coup Gstas saved the
