The California Election.

SAN FRANCIsCO, Sept. There was an
immense Union meeting in the city last eve
ming. 1t was addressed by collector Low,
Starr King, and the Union candidates for con-
grees. The democrats also held large meet
ing on the outskirts of the city, which
was addressed by Messrs. Weller, Big
Ter, Downcr, and several othor gentlemen.
There is prospect of very full vote to-
morrow and an immense majority for the
Union ticket. There are two Union legisla-
tive tickets running in this county against the
united democrats but the Unionists believe
neither OF their tickets will get more votes
than the democratic. The opposition gener
ally concede that the Union state ticket will
be elected by as much as twenty thousand
majority.

inauguration OF GOV. Bramletto.

FRANKFoRT, KY, Sept. 1.--Gov. Bramlette
was inaugurated as governor of this state to-
day. In his inaugural address he contends
that the revolted states did not change their
status by rebellion; that all which is necessa-
ny for them to do is to return to their fealty,
and take their position as states; that the re-
bellion did not remit them to territorial
state. He says we have now, and will have
when the rebellion closes, the identical consti-
tuition, which extremists seek TO destroy, the
one by innovation and the other by force.
It's not restored Union, not reconstructed
Union that Kentucky desires, but preserved
Union and restored peace upon constitution
al basis. The governor sternly objects to the
armlng OF sthe negroes, and asks what is to be
done with such soldiers at the end of the war.
He points to the result of the recent election
as proof that Kentucky will not fraternize
with rebellion either open or covert, and de-
clares that Kentucky ever has been and now is
and always will be loyal to the government of
our fathers

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 1.-The best attaina-
bic information locates Gen. Lee in Rich
mond, and his army scattered from the line of
the Blue Ridge On the west to Port Royal,
Rappahannock river ON the east, and south
as far as the line of the Virginia Central
railroad. His troops are so widely scattered,
probably, 10 facilitate su5Sisting. General
Ewell has the left; General A. p. Hill the
centre, lying on the railroad from Culpepper to
Orange Court House; while Longstreet holds
the extreme right occupying the line Of the
Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad.
Cooks brigade Of North Carolina troops oc-
cupies Fredericksburg. Jones brigade of
cavalry is said to have gone back to the She
nandoah valley, and Robinson to Richmond.
Stuart is still in command, but growing more
and more unpopular. 1t is expected he will
be relieved by Wade Hampton.
The rebel guerrillas continue in our rear.
One Of Kilpatrick's body guard having been
killed, permission was given the guard to hunt
guerrllas. They have been at it three days
with great success. Rebel deserters continue
to come in squads and are ready to take the
oath of allegiance, but of those who have done
so and have been sent as substitutes to our
army, nine, after stealing horses and commit
ting other depredations, managed to rejoin
their old comrades the other day.

considerable private discussion Of the merits

earnest in behalf of Mr.. Plunket of Berk-

Mr.. Bgelow of Boston, and one or two other
gentlemen, were also named. The strongest
