ALcATRAz.-The mere name has acquired a
wonderful significance of late. As our readers
are well aware, it is a little island in San Fran
cisco bay, on which u prison has lately been
erected for the confinement Of political Offenders
aud according to the Red Bluff Beacon, " is prob
ably the most desolate spot on earth, not except
ing Helena"
The Beacon resurrects the following portion
Of poem, written by Edward Pollock a few
days before his death. The poem was entitled
Evening"" ard painted picture of scene o
which Ale atraz forms prominent feature
" The air is chill and the day grows late
And the clouds come in through the Golden Gate,

Uusnattered, have Weathtred thousand gales
Slow wheeling lol 10 squadrons gray,
They part, an1 hasten along the bay

Where the hills of Saucelito swell,
Many in gloom may shelter well
And s-beholl-unchallenged pass

No greetings of thunder aud fame, exchange

FALSE IDEA OF MANHooD-The Sacramento Bee
and Marysville appeat lately proposed the pass
age of a law forbidding the carrying of con
C, aled weapons, which drew from the Red Bluff
Beacon The following comments:
Let us have the law passed. There il still
too much manhood left in this State. Let rs
boot at il, and spit upon it, and pet it TOO death
with little stones. Let us set aside the Cunstitu-
tion. if it stands in the way of the higher laN,
and have an act passed ts prohibit the carrying
Of weapons under any sort of circumstances -
Such law would usher in the Millennium when
every puppy could call his neighbor IA lar. and
SANDER him in the basrst manner, without the
fear Of any worse consequences than having to
prove it in Court. which he could do by getting
other towards to swear TO his lies"
The Appeal editor, remembering The good old
times when every man was not a walking arsenal.
and when petty disputes could be settled without
rcsorng to the bowie knife and revolver puts
forth The following argumen! in justification Of
his original proposition ::
"Thpre is vein of semi -barharism in these re-
marks that might be left TO answer itself but we
cannot forhear TO ask-are New York, Phiadpl-
pha and Boston, in all of which cities the carry
ing of concealed weapons is forbidden, more
noted for cowardice aud mendacity than Vicks-
be carried with impunity? Is not the standard
Of courage and morality at least as high in Mass
achusetts, where men go into the streets and
parlors unarmed, as in Arkansas, where bowie
knife aud pistol are articles of personal adorn
ment? Are not the puppies who wag slanderra as
tongues in This State otenest men who carry
small arsenals under their coat tails? The Beacon
would have H. think otherwise, and the tendency
Of its false reasoning is to the conclusion thai
the highest eXrmplars Of manhood are the bully
Steamboat runners, who cut aud shoot with a
cbivalrous alacrty iSat il delightful The
amount OF genuine manhood in State does not
depend upon the lumber of knives and six
shooters that are secreted the persons of the
ciuzrns. The kind of :" manhood > that dues is
the sort that m0Lbed and hung preachers, d. owe

Righteousness of slavery, and made the South
notorious as land of violence aud bIoodShrd.
