DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL OBGAN.--The Stockton
Republican issued its final number in that city on
the 18th inst 1t will reappear in the course of
a couple of weeks at Sacramento, " in response"
as it says, " to very general demand of the De-
mocracy of the State for central organ at the
Capital" After so many warnings-the starva'
tion of the Democratic state Journal, the sudden
demise of Old Brains paper, and others--it seems
little less than madness for tho Republican to give
up good location for the Capital.

The PRESIDENT AND THE WAR.-It has been
charged that President Lincoln is responsible for
the civil war. The charge is n falsehoOd coined
by the northern allies of traitors, who from the
beginning Of the secession movement justified it
in principle and denounced the virtue of force
in the preservation Of the Union. The Presi-
dent had no option in the matter, save upon the
theory Of these traitors. lie was bound to make
war upon them. But it is charged again that he
has violated the Constitution in the mode OF
prosecuting the war that he had no authority
for suspeudng the habeas corpus for conisca-
ton for emancipation We reply; he has con
stitutional authority to suppress rebellion he Is
the constitutional head OF the army and navy
and as in a state of war the military must often
supercede the civil power as commander in chief
he has the right to do all these things SO oh
noXious to traitors and those who would like q
smooth and easy road to treason. The only rea
question in the premises is: did he exercise the
authority in him vested, like Christian and en-
lightened ruler On this point there can never
cease to be differences Of opinion 50 long as we
recognize the right Of State to go out Of the
Union at pleasure, aud that African slavery is a
political and social blessing to the county
Those of the North who eat dirt at their bidding
and toady to the slaveocracy, Will still maintain
the negative aud denouuce the President but
all those who, recognizing human liberty aud
equality as the fundamental principle on which
this Government is founded, and believing that
African slavery as it is praClced in the Southern
States, is not essential TO our system, will justify
the President for bis Emancipation Proclama-

WHAT WOULD CONE OF SEPARATION THE
London N0rning Star discusses the probable ef-
feet of a separation between North aud South,
were such an event possible, and clinches an
argument in favor of the preservation Of the
Union with The following yaticinaton:
Washington is the center of a continent
Richmond would be but the capital of second
rate republic. The greater commonwealth, with
its ever increasing population, would dwarf It's
unwholsomc brother" The world would con
tinue to regard the States north of the Potomac
and Ohio as the transatlantic home Of the Anglo
Saxon race while the States south of that line
would either shrink by comparison into political
insignifcance, or provoke mingled alarm aud alb
horrcuce by their lawless devotion to aggressive
war aud piratcal commerce. Such severance
of races and Of communities would be evidently
more to the disadvantage of the South than to
North. We believe that the disadvantage is per
fectly foreseen, aud that Jefferson Davis would
vastly prefer to be the successor Of Abraham
Incol than the founder Of new line Of Presi-
dents.

GREAT ADVANCE IN THE PRCE or PAPER.--
In August last, says the Santa Cruz SentiHe,
printing paper in New York was worth from ID
to IS cents per pound Printing paper is nov
held at from 20 to % cents per pound. The New
York Herald says that, in consequence of this
great rise in paper, persons who have contracted
to furnish the government with supplies Of said
article, will be compelled to throw UP their con
tracts and thus forfeit their bonds The rise
will certainly affect Newspaper bus IS TAe
larger New York daily papers mus. either in
crease their prices o. reduce tho SIZE of their
papers. In California there must also be changes
that is in the case of the .Aiorning CAL, EUen-
ing Jour1lql, and such papers whose subscription
prices are too mcager to allow any margin for
profit. But the BulletiR. Alta, and papers OF
that class, whose subscription profits are immense
will have no occasion for an increase of price
but they may, with characteristic shrewdness,
make the journeyman printer supply the nccessI-
ty, and thereby profit by the rise. One thing is
certain, hereafter interior papers must be paid
cash for all labor performed in the Office and ad-
veriscments and subscriptions must be paid for
in advance.

These armies at their several destinations they

dictate. The forces now ready for duty cannot
be less than 100000, disposed of as follows;
The army in Kanawha Valley, under Maj Gen.

llOWARp hElOkl.-Out MullOm lOWHSHlu, ,
j. G. Howard, now member of the Nevada Ter
ritory Legislature, lately submitted the following
grave and astute report to that body. 1t was
ordered spread upon the journal, in order that it
might be preserved among the archives of the
Territory for the enlightenment Of future gen
eratons, and u memcnto of the wisdom aud
sagacity of this legislative body:
Your Committee consisting of solitary hut
very competent individual, to whom was referred
the map of Col Williams road, " from certain
pOint to another place, would beg most respect
fully TO report: Your Committee has mad uuder
consideration said map. The word " map y Is
derived from the Spanish word mapa, or the
Portuguese word maPpr. Says the learned leXi-
cographer Webster. "ln geography map is n
representation Of the surface Of the earth, or of
any part of it, drawn on paper or other material,
exhibiting the lines of latitude and longitude,
and the positions Of countries, kingdoms, states
mountains, rivers" etc. Your Committee, with
due respect to the PROTECTOR of the road in qucs
tion, would designate what is styled in the re
port "a map" an unnatural and diaboical
scrawl, devoid of form, regularity or meaning
Your Committee has in times past witnessed the
wild irregularity of the footprints Of birds OF
prey upon the moist seashore. Your Committee
was struck with the resemblance of the map un-
der discussion with some one of said footprints.
Your Committee, during his juvenile days, has
watched a frantic aud indiscreet fly emerge from
a pot or vase containing mOlasses Your Com
mittee has seen said fly alight upon scrap of
virgin paper aud leave thereon wild medley of
wretchcd and discord0nt tracks Your Commit
tee was struck with the wonderful resemblance
of said iy tracks with the map now before your
Committee Yet your Committee believes that
the map in question has some merit as an alb.
stract hicroglyphic. Your Committee therefore
recommend (the Council concurrng) that the
aforesaid map be photographed, and that one
copy thereof, framed in sage brush, be hung over
the Speakers chair, and that another copy be
donated to the Council, to Dc suspended over the
President Of the Council, as a memeuto and per
petuance Of the artistic skill aud graphic genius
of one Of our most distinguished members. All
of which is respectfully submitted

And who are you ?" asked the driver
:" am the commander of this division" replied
the General
"Well, then, command your division; am
