NoNsENsE.-The Marysville Express having as
serted that " the Administration is keeping the
telegraph under strict survelence," the Appeal
by way of rejoinder calls the Express EDITORS
attention to the following paragraph from late
letter of " Castine," Noah Brooks, Esq the
Washington correspondent of the Sacramento
Union
This twaddle of the "loyal and well-trained
telegraph " is about as idle as anything possibly
can be, for il anything concerning battles or
consummated military movements is made public
here, you in California get it, and there is no
censorship of the telegraph except so far as re-
lates to the movement of armies not yet consum-
mated and which it is necessary should be kept
out of the public prints until they are accom-
plished. The California press gets not single
item of news which has not been first printed on
this side of the Republic, and any reasonable
man can see that there must be plans and move
ments which it would be fatal policy to allow
reporters to send to their papers for publication
| in advance of their execution. Hence, when your
telegraphc column looks meager, and is barren
of news, though the overland line may be in
working order, don't make an ass of yourself and
gravely shake your wise head, saying: "Tm
afraid we're getting licked somewhere, for the
Government has shut down on the telegraph
again.

A MODEL OF CoNsIsTENCY,-Ou worthy Gov
ernor is determined to be consistent with himself
let what will happen. He evidently belongs to
that order of composite material which may be
called regularly irregular, of which fact he has
just given us another illustration in his action
with regard to the bill for the transfer of money
from the swamp Land Fund. Last year there
were two bills, exactly the same, and for the
same purpose transferring portions of the Swamp
Land Fund TO the General Fund. The first he
signed, the second he vetoed and now, the
third he neither signs nor vetoes, but suffers it to
become law by default. If there is a new method
which he can find to govern bis action on the
fourth bill of the kind that may yet be passed,
he will undoubtedly follow it. as he seems deter
mined to be original in something. The ten days
Limitation having expired since the bill to take
money from the Swamp Land Fund to pay Legis-
lative expenses was sent to the Governor, IL
became law at noon on Friday last, January
| 30th.

LEGISLATIVE PRocEEDINGs.-In the Assembly,
on the 26th, Fitch's resolution for a committee
of investigation as to the loyalty of Kewen, and
substitute that such investigation is inexpe-
dient, were laid on the table, 81 to 80. In the
Assembly on the 2Sth, a resolution offered by
Banks instructing the Judiciary Committee to
prepare general laws with regard to bridge and
ferry franchises, railroad grants, etc, SO as to
obviate the necessity of SO much special legisla-
tion, was adopted. On the 10th the Legislature
in Joint Convention, elected DR.. John F. Morse
as Trustee Of the State Library, in place of Nc
Connell, resigned The business in the Senate
was of no Importance.

IT IS FAcT-There is much truth in the as
sertion of the New York Journal of Commerce
that many men make a serious mistake in sup
posing that when general trade is light it is less
profitable to advertise than during prevalent
rush of business. The experience which seems
to confirm such an opinion, has come from the
attempts to limit the advertising by the trade
When business falls off, those who take that op,
portunity to increase their advertising always
secure more than an ordinary share of what mon.
ey is spent by buyers. Buyers are more cautious
in their purchases and are very apt to go to the
stores who attract the most attention by their ad-
vertising while stores where they are afraid
advertising won't pay. are left to suffer the con-
sequent loss through such neglect.

THE ENGLISH PoOR.-Reader, what do you
think Is the charity sum doled out to the starv-

struggling in the jaws of rapacious famine, to
keep them in food, shelter, clothing and medi

time the rich are fitting out expeditions to aid
the American rebels in destroying government

'AT ODDs," is the very odd title Of a
new novel by the Baroness Tautphoeus,
just from the press of J. b. Appinco,t L
Co., Philadelphia The scene is Ha varia,
and it is thrilling story of love and war.
in which are depicted many Of rhe stir
ring incidents Of the great campaigns oi
Napoleon against the Austrians 6fty years
and more ago.
The same Louise has also issued work
10 relation to our own war, Of very grea
interest and value. entitled Campaign,
Of ls62 and 1863" b. Emil Schalk.
The work is mainly searching criti
cism Of the plans and conduct OF the wal
in the field during tho campaigns of 1867
and 1868. The author is evidently NJ
novice 10 the scionce of war. and one rise!
from the perussl Of his book with con
yiciion that q great deal has been lost i,
consequence Of the erroneous principles
upon which the plans of the campaign
we're based and conducted.

A private letter from an officer with
Gen. B,nks, dated at Opslousas, April
2e, furnishes The following interesting in
formation:
The snccess of this expedition has been

leled pursuit we have succeeded in com
plciely disorganizing the army of the
rebels. We have captured two thousand
prisoners. The Second Louisiana Cav
airy, the Crescent Regiment, tn. Eight.
ecnth Louisiana Infantry, aud many other
rebel organizations no longer exist. Som ?
three regiments Of Texis cavalry alone
have saved the enemy from being entirely
destroyed. The Confederate infantry
was packed in wagons and marched oti
with their artillery and baggage train.
Their tents. camp equipage and clothing,
was, like the ganboa,s Diana Hart and

brought him out and placed him at the
head OF the column and marched down
TO the corner Of Main and Second. They
now formed hollow square, placing the
ex- Chaplain in the centre. They then
proceeded TO deliberate what should be
done with him--wheiher they should de
liver him over to the authorities to deal
with him as they saw fit, or take him into
their own hands and meet out justice To
him in o. summary manner. While they
were consulting, Dean asked libery to
speak. He then stated that he lad nev
er belonged to lie Order called the
Knights OF tho Golden Circle, and that
he bad always preached peace on honora-
ble terms. Some one in the crowd at
this point asked him how about his
speech at Pontinc, H., and one or two
other places. He said that he bad seen
some statements in the papers. but that
they had misrepresen,ed him. Some one
again spoke and said that what the
papers had said was true. for he heard
the speech himself. aud that more trea-
soDable sentiments could not be utter

OIR CAVALRY.

The activity now being manifested in
this arm Of the service has Inspired the
people with new hope. Tnque, iluahly
the most cheering feature of tho WI news
that We have had for SON time past, Is
the success which has attended our late
cavalry raids made into the enemys coun-
Try from all points on our line. Nothing
in this line Of phenomena was more strik
ing than the admirable secrecy that ex-
cluded al, knowledge in regard 10 the pro-
posed plan and movements of the raid. II
was new and somewhat tsntalizing sen
sutton, for hitherto projected operations
have always been known and discussed by
every ybody. In this case, however, abso,
lutte ignorance prevailed, and it is to this
that we owe our success. S,oneman' q
operations appear to have been remarka-
bly, successful, not less in striking terror
TO the heart. of the rebels than infictng
serious damage. We formerly heard oi
rebel raids, and admired the courage and
skill they exhibited. The names of Jack
son and Morgan grew famous on the
strength Of exploits of this description
But the rebels speak Of this raid as un-
paralleled in this or any other war. Stone
man was evidently guided by some one
acquainted with the country. and oul
troops, although late to take up the lesso,
they learnt from the rebels, they have pro
gressed rapidly, and it is wonder tina
our Generals have been 80 slow to dis
cover the efficiency Of this mode Of war
fare. In this way the encmy's weak point
can be struck, while but little injury Cal
be inflicted on our forces.
