Of English sympathy IS all very nice, but while the

TO those who are trying 10 destroy our nation, it is
not likely that the American people will place much
value upon such professions.
San Francisco has of late been so dull as TO furnish
but few items that would interest your readers.
Since the wardrobe sflir at Sacramento We have
had scarcely n sensation but We are promised one
soon, no less than q Giantess. She is said TO be a
delicate young lady over seven feet in height. just
out OF her teens and Of surprising beauty. There's

We are just commencing to realize one Of the effects
of the rebellion from which we have hitherto been
free. On the second of March all California woke
up and found it must be stamped" Your neigh
boris note, no matter how rich he may be, isn't
worth a red without one of Uncle Sans Adhe-
sives on its face. Your own account at your
Bankers may show thousands to your credit, but
your check for so paltry a sum as twenty dollars and
one cent will go to dishonor unless it bears one of
those magical sticking plasters. There's no escape
from the inevitable stamp The price Of putty
advances, and you scratch of a dispatch to your
friend Linseed of New York, conveying the gratifying
intelligence, rush 10 the telegraph Office to get ahead

aud-are dismayed TO find you have forgotten the
stamp and the lightning wont carry any such
document. Babies, fortunately, are exempt; it
doesn't require any '' stamp to be born, but you
can't get married without a 50 stamp and if you are
ever so strongly inclined to die you can't make your
will without a stamp" But, beyond the little
annoyances that are necessarily at first incident to
the operations of the Excise Law, we hear no one
complain; on the contrary all seem rather glad that
we are now bearing a part of the financial load under
which our Eastern brethren are staggering. Our
people, however, don't take kindly TO - greenbacks."
Patriotism, duty to sustain the Government, and all
that kind Of talk has signally failed to make us adopt
the paper currency of the East. Bank bills and
shinplasters will never become acclimated in this
state, our own soil produces a much healthier article
of money.
Your community will be glad to learn that the
sending of the witnesses from Honolulu, in the case
Of Harry" who is here imprisoned on a charge of
murder. is likely to result in establishing his inno-
cence. An interesting account of the interview be-
tween Messrs. Ii and Kapaakea and the prisoner,
will be found in the Bulletin of the 18th inst. From
the press generally, and from all who know any,
your Government receives the highest praise. One
paper speaks Of it as n cred;table act that is believed
to be without parallel among the civilized nations
of the earth" Isn't that complimentary?
Yours, A.

Diplomatic.

Among the items by telegraph in late papers,
was the following:
time the nomination Of DIR. M'Bryde, as Commissioner at the
Sandwich Islands"
The telegraph has often a mystiness in its an
nouncements, of which the above is an example.
We infer that the Senate disagreed with the
President regarding the nomination made by
him, which now he insists on, by returning it to
that body Il second time. The statement of the
Office being that of u - commissioner, is prob
ably a clerical one, and the announcement before
made, copied from a Washington paper, is most
likely correct.
Speaking of diplomatic representatives, We may
here insert a list, showing the grades and pay
in the American service. The European diplo-
mats are generally of the same grades, but some
receive larger salaries.

but the report is not credited, and needs confF-
nation.
\ telegram asserts that Sec. Chase has secured
a loan from European capitalists of one hundred
millions of dollars in gold at current rates. This
Is an important item, rs indicating an entire
change of sentiment and public confidence in
Europe in the stability and ultimate success of
the National administration. No such loan
could be effected without such confidence or
without the most perfect assurance of non-inter-
vention by European powers, for capitalists there
hold the consciences and hands Of sovereigns. If
the announcement is correct, it will tend TO
relieve the Government from embarrassment
in its military plans, while it will inspire a
rivalry and jealousy on the part of American
capitalists, the result of which will be TO
strengthen government securities and funds.
On the whole, though no decisive victories are
announced, the news this week is favorable to
the National cause, and there is no good cause
for doubling ultimate success, long and severe
though the struggle may be. The ''peace demo-
Gratis of the Cox and Vallandigham school may
buster and advise a surrender TO the South, but
there is no good reason yet to believe that they
can carry out their designs, or that the treemen
of the North are ready TO become vaSsals of the
shareholders or any other tyrants, domestic or
f,rairn

Wefnd the following letter from Hon.
HoaATIo SEYMOUR, written in reply TO
an invitation to address a. Democratic
meeting at Milwaukee, in our Western
exchanges. 1t embodies clear state
.meut of the issues before the people:
GfNfIEMBN :ANothingG would Ebave
afforded NE greater pleasure, had cifcum..
stances permitted, than to have accepted
your invitation to be present at the Mass
Convention of the Democracy of Milwau-
kec on the 18th inst.
In the gloomy night which overshadows
the nation, there is no hope but in the
restoration to power Of the Democratic
conseryatiye. party. The fanatieal leaders,
who precipitated this a. bloody conflict by
undertaking The South, It's resources and
military ability, who scoffed at the Crit
tenden compromise and all other efforts
to avert civil warLwho rejected the meas.
ufes Of the Peace Convention, and who
after war was forced upon as, have per-
sistently created obstacles to its vigorous
and successful prosecution, by perverting
it from its original purpose, the restoration
of the Union, as solemnly avowed in our
National Congress, into hopeless eman-
cipation crusade, and by driving frSh the
army through abolition intrigues, Gen.
Mcclellan and other officers of military
capacity, to make place for political ad-
venturers-have by their entire policy ex-
hibited alike their incapacity to carry on
war or to inaugurate peace: Iq 81 >s" g"%
Failing to crush the Southern rebellion,
their entire energies seem now directed to
the destruction of popular rights and per-
sonal freedom throughout the North. f.
Safeguards Of liberty, wrested from despo-
tism after struggle of centuries, are by
them ignored or swept away. The sub
stitution of an irresponsible military ty-
ranny in place of law, the suppression Of
free speeck-the muzzling Of the press,
the midnight seizure, the mock trial and
illegal Punishment Of distinguished citi-
zen Of Ohio, and that too in a loyal dis
trict, where the civil law is in unubstruc-
ted operation-are among the mad acts by
which all constitutional government and
every principle dear to freemen, are
sought to be crushed and destroyed.
While we freely expend blood and treas
ure to overcome Southern traitors, we
must with equal spirit and similar sacrif- |
ces resist such reasonable usurpation at
the North. The latter formidable and
dangerous, because secret and insidious in
its advance, must be expelled at all haz-
ards. ."'"

mocracy will utter no uncertain sound in
this crisis of our nations existence "

The Waste of War.

The Pension Office at Washington has
lately recorded the nineteenth Mousdndth
application of wives made widows by this
war between the Northern and Southern
States.
What shocking proof is this of the
awful work of war? Nineteen thousand
wives made widows by the battles during
twenty -four months !! and this humber,
frightful as it is, is far from complete,
while it only represents one SIDE OF the
fratricidal struggle there are at least as
many more desolate homes in the South.
The whole number of those who have been
made widows by this sectional contest
certainly cannot be Jess than l5O,0o0;-
1t is an appalling thought; but this num-
Der fails far short of the actual loss Of
life that has been eoccasioned thus far

mortality alone is to be arrived at. 1t is
