California State Election, September, 1868.

[Rather late the reader may say, are the fol.
owing lines of exultation over California's re.
,ent victory ut the ballot-box, from MRs. FApER's
pen. The fault is with some of Uncle Sans su.
oernumaries in the Mail service, for although
written in September they came wandering along
10 us ON the 2lst of the present month.-Ep.1
o glorious California;
\ Nation 5 heart-stringS thrill,
To know the victory is won,
And thou art loyal still
1t comes, it comes, n welcome sound,
And full of right good cheer,
That loyal hearts eXut to feel,
And loyal ears to hear.
Ring out your cannon, Alcntraz,
Grow brighter, sparkling Bay,
Lift up your heads, We mountains grand,
And shout for this glad day
Ye vallies sing and dance for joy,
We rivers leap along,
Catch in your arms majestic trees,
And swell the trumph-song
O peerless State, we give thee joy
With loyal heart and voice,
From Maine, the native home of him
Who helps us now rejoice
God bless his rule, and smile upon
The country of the brave
Which darcs to lift its voice against
The Traitor with his slave
Still give thy strength of blood and gold
TO aid the cause of Right;
Humanity shall bless thy name,
The world respect thy might

Have lost their hold ON thee,

That hencetorth shall he Free

THE APPROACH OF DEATH.--As life approaches
extinction nsensblity supcrvcncs-a numbness
and disposition to repose, which does not admit
of the idea of suffering. Even in these cases
when activity of mind remains to the last, and
when nervous scnsibility would seem to con-
tnue, it is surprising how often there has been
observed happy state of feeling ON the APP
proach of death. If had sufficient strength
to hold pen, | would write how easy it is to
die, were the words Of the celebrated William
Hunter, during his last moments Montague, in
one Of his essays, describes an incident which
left him so scnseless that he was taken up for
dead. On being restored, however, he says
" Mcthought my life only hung upon my lips,
and ! shut my eyes to help thrust it out, and
took pleasure in langushing and letting it go.
An English writer records that gentleman who
had been rescued from drowning declared that
he had not experienced the slightest feeling of
suliocati0n. The stream was transparent, the
day brilliant, and as he stood upright he could
see the sun shining through the water with II
dreamy consciousness that his eyes were being
closed forever. Yet he neither feared his fate
nor wished to avert it, sleepy sensation which
soothed and gratifed him, made IA luxurious bed
Of watery grave.

THE following remarkable decision is reported
to have been lately rendered in a neighboring
county: A man whose name we shall not give
was brought before the " Squire " for stealing n
hog, and three witnesses being examined swore
they saw him steal it. A wag having volunteer
ed as counsel for Josh, knowing the scope of
the squire brain, arose and addressed him as
follows " May it please your honor, can es-
tablish this mans honesty beyond the shadow
of a doubt, for have twelve witnesses ready to
swear that they did not see him steal it,"
The squire rested his head for moment upon
his hand, as if in deep thought, and with great
dignity arose, and, brushing back his hair, said
If there are twelve who did not see him steal
it, and only three who did, discharge the pris-
oner. "

EXTRAORDINARY ENERGY or mIE REVENUE
OFFIcERs.-At about six O'Clock on Monday
evening party OF revenue officers boarded the
yacht Gypsy, lying of Port Richmond, and
valiantly seized her in the name OF the United
States. The Gypsy is a licensed yacht, belong
ing to the New York Yacht Club, and owned by
Mr.. Anthony w. Morse, who has been repainting
and reftting her for pleasure trip across the
Atlantic and up the Mediterranean. The yacht
has been lying at anchor for some time, and
Mr.. Morse's intentions in regard to her wers
perfectly well known throughout the city.
Under these circumstances the extraordinary
energy and splendid daring OF the revenue
officers cannot be too highly commended. If
pirate schooner we're TO slip into this harbor
and steal revenue cutter, as the Archer did
at Portland, any neglect Of duty on the part Of
these officials ought TO be overlooked. They
have won sufficiently brilliant laurels by their
present exploit. Their intelligence and efi-
cheney surpass belief. They have proved them
selves 1T subordinates Of Secretary Chase. who
has plenty Of time to lay pipe for the next
Presidency, but no time to pay the money due
TO our sick, wounded and deceased soldiers.
Each OF these brave and energetic men shorld
be Immediately promoted out Of Office, and be

THE RuxoRED REcALL OF GENERAL Nc
CLELLAS TO THE CmEr CoxxAsD.-It became
bruited about yesterday morning that Gene
raj Mcclellan bad been appointed by the
President to the chief command OF the
army, vice General Halleck. The effect Of this
rumor was really astonishing. Gold went
down, while thepe seemed a general revival
Of public confidence The rumor spread over
the city with wonderful rapidity. Groups were
gathered at all the corners discussing the affair,
and on all sides expressions Of confidence in
General McClellan's ability to further the
plans Of the President were freely uttered.
A spontaneous ovation was made to General
Mcclellan, who happened to come TO the city
from New Jersey. where he now resides The
moment he was recognized on the ferryboat
shouts for Mcclellan were heard and when he
reached the city he was surrounded by crowds
of enthusiastic people shouting for him. These
scenes are unmistakable evidences of the extreme
popularity Of the General, and prove how
deep seated Is the confidence reposed in him by
the masses His appointment to the command
In chief would cause an immediate revival of
hope In the breasts Of those who were even the
most discouraged; and we think'the President
would show great wisdom in giving way to
popular sentiment upon this subject Not
even the bitterest enemies Of General McClel-
Ian can deny that under similar cir
great gloom over our country, he saved
