One OF these last, in the San Francisco cal,

EDITORS MORNING CALL: In the Call (June
26) it has been shown that the Constitution Of
the United States denies to the general govern
ment not only the despotic power of forcing
Mongolians, Africans, or people Of similar char
acter upon the States, but also any right what
ever by laws or treaties to permit the immigrs-
ton of foreigners into State unwilling to admit
them and that the Constitution in this respect
reserves the full sovereignty to every State Of the
Union, to exclude foreigners from its limits, and,
if admitted, to tax them at pleasure.
That the true interest of California, even its
existence SIS the home of happy Caucasiaus, i'm
peratively demands the exercise Of its constisu-
tiOnal power to exclude the obnoxious Mougo-
ians from its limits and by imposing heavy
taxes upon these who arrived here more than
choose to leavo sgsin, can hardly be a subject of
doubt to the candid. The progress and well be-
ing of California depends upon the existence of
a sufficient population of the industrious and
working class, who desire to make their home in
this State, and accordingly accomplish improve
ments which shall endure through coming gen
erstions. The maj jority of the present yet very
insufficient population consists of that class,
who have by hard labor earned homestead,
many even wealth. The immigration of such
population must be encouraged. But if all that
in this State can be earned by hard labor amounts
70 r.
no one can desire to come here. Chinese, of
whom there now are sixty thousand here, and
whose numbers soon may be millions, work for
one dollar and less per day, defraying themselves
their board and lodging. No white man can
subsist by so low OF even little higher wages.
All immigration of the industrious and laboTing
class must therefore cease, and many who came
here are compelled to leave again. The result of
this must be that, before the md of this century
the population of Californis will consist Of
few white magnates and millions of Chinese
serfs.

1 An aid of Gen. jackson, who was present at
/ the battle of Cedar Creek, furnishes the Whig
some Interesting particulars Of The engagement.
! The victory was so complete that a bevy Of
| Yankee officers, under the hag Of truce, three
/ days afterward. admitted that it would be absurd
/ to deny it, and laid wager with one of cur
/ generals, that not even Pope would pretend that
/ it was anything bus defeat to them. Our iu-
/ founant estimates the force engaged on cur side
| at .000-that Of the enemy at 10000 Our
/ killed and wounded numbered according to Gen.
Jackson's medical director, co., of whom not
more than $50 were killed The loss OF the
enemy, in killed, wounded and missing, is esti-
mated at from 1900 to 3,000 We took two
| splendid Napoleon guns, fifteen hundred stand
OF small arms, twelve wagon loads Of amuni-
| ton, four stand of c0lOrs, and nearly or quite
500 prisoners. The fight began with skirnlish-
lng shout two o'clock some six miles this side
OF CuPeper Court House. At four o'clock the
fight had become active and hot, and was con-
tinUed until near 9 o'clock at night at which
time the enemy had been driven TO within two
miles Of the Court House. A. this point heavy
battery had been planted, and the general, think
ing il injudicious TO attack it till morning, or
dered a haia. In the morning the enemy had
abandoned the position and made no response
to the shell thrown In the direction they were
supposed to occupy. The enemy were com
manded by Mcdowell, Banks and Sigel Pope
reached the scene of action ths next day. We
occupied the battle ground iill Monday even
ing.
Tuesday morning the enemy sent ambu-
lances on the field under W hite flags and under
cover OF them attempted to advance heavy
force. General Stuart, who happened at the
time to be on the field, with not more than two
three attendants, sent word to Pope that if he
advanced any further he would massacre every
ambulance driver and surgeon on the field
Pope replied protesting his chagrin, and declar-
ing that he did not know that the smbulances
Were carrying white flags, and concluded By
asking till two o'clock TO bury his dead Stuart
replied that it would be impossible for him to
finish the job ia that time, and that be would
give him till sundown Aud this was done
During the hottest part of the fight General
Jackson put himself at the head of his old
SsOnewan brigade, infusing into that banl Of
heroes an srdOr aud impeiuOsity perfectly ire
sistable. The ground over which they passed
was almost literally covered with slaughtered !

this victory is but the forerunner Of another /

From the Richmond Examiner
This is the name of one Of the two places fixed
by the terms of the cartel for the exchange of
prisoners Il is the plantation of Mr. Albert H.
Aiken, and IS situated on the north sile Of James
river, fifteen miles below this city
The residence is large, new aud handsome
building, standing within ffty yards OF the river.
The barns and ont houses are all new, and Of
the most commodiOus style The plantation
embraces twenty i've hundred acres, and is
valued at over one hundred thousand dollars.
Mr.. Aiken has been appointed the Confederate
commissary at the post, aud is charged to feed
our returned prisoners on their debarcatisn from
the Yankee steamer.
From gentlemen who were az the place and
witnessed the return of some of our prisoners and
the departure of an equal number Of Yankees,
we have some interesting particulars. When
tie boats were first deserted coming up the river,
their hurricane decks were crowded with our
men, Who waved their hats and cheered inces-
sanity at the immediate prospect Of return to
friends and liberty. The few ladies at Varina
waved them welcome from the balcony
On being landed, they were taken to the COM
missaTy depot and supplied with provisions.
Some made themselves comfortable there, whilst
others started immedia ely for the city. The
sick were sent up in tho ambulance5 which had
brought down disabled Yankees. The Yankee
officers made Mr. Aiken's house their headquar-
ters. Here they meet and mingle with Con
federate officials, sad quite socially they are
SAID to get along together. The Yankees are
free with tkeir whisky and ice, and cur officers,
not desiring to show churlish disposition, hob
mob with them infinitely.
Our informents frequently eonversed with
the Yankee officers. A colonel told them, upon
his word aud honor" thai though the midnight
artillery attack of Colonel Pendleton had ocea-
stoned quite a confusion and panic in the feet,
that the damage inflicted by it amounted to al
most nothing but four vessels having been
struck. The firing, he said, WAS al greatly too
high
The Yankees seem to know as little of the
origin Of the mama "Fort Darling" as ourselves.
All the Yankee officers at VaIinG contended that
they had gotten the name from US, and that the
first time they ever saw it was in Richmond
newspaper.
We learn there are no more Of our prisoners at
the North to be returned at this point-the bal
ance being in Western prisons, viii return via
Vicksburg.

IRON the FlcAsouTg " hlgJ
We see that several of our exchanges are pret
ty severe upon Gen. Earl Van Dorm for shack
ling the press of this department Although
severe, we cannot say they are upiustly SO, for
his order regarding the press is without parallel
in the Confederscy, and viii ever remain a blem-
ish upon his escutcheon. When it was an
nounced that Gen. Van Dorm was placed in com
mand of this department our people were elsted
He was Mississippisn, native and to the
manor born,' and we expected him to pursue
policy which would raise him higher and higher
in their respect and confidence each succeeding
day; but his assuming power in violation Of
the Constitution OF the land--a power which
Congress itself, prompted by wise counsels.
would not touch, win have the effect of impair
ing confidence instead of increasing it. We
have heretofore given our opinion in regard to
destroying the liberty of the press, and we have
now no reason to change that conviction, so
firmly engrsAed from infancy. We have been
taught 81; &c we knew what freedom was that
we were living under government the most re-
publican that ever the sun shone on and under
the new regime the stars and bars-we have
boosted of fighting for freedoms cause-6ghting
to rescue the tOreh of liberty from a horde of
Northern fanatics who have destroyed every pill
lar under the Q Hple itself.
But could it be called a land of liberty where
Journalist IS threatened Win q dungeon II he
shsws up before the world error and wrong
Where is our boasted liberty, il freedom Of
speech is prohibited, and the press is pared down
into bashful iuegularity by those in power
viii the sacred word liberty not be an empty
sound The Constitution upon which our gov
ernment is founded is our shield, and so long as
we are permitted to express our sentiments at
all the public will find US true sentines, ever on
the watchtoseT ready to denounce fraud, sedi-
ton and imbecility whenever detected, and to
applaud aud do homage to those whose conduct
whether as private citizens or public funehOns-
RES, merit it. We shall always avoid tripping
cur pen into incorporate xpressions-expres-
sions that would prove beneficial to our enemy
and detrimental to our own cause. Such a
course, we cannot think, viii be disapproved of
by any freeman, and it is the only line of policy
that the press pursue in justice to itself, the
government, and the people it represents. If
there are any who cannot see the necessity Of
maintaing press thus, they certainly are lack
ing in knowledge Of the first principles of polti-
cal philosophy, every page Of history and the
fundamental elements Of their native country s
