Governor Stanford,

This gentleman on retiring from the
gubernatorial chair Of California, does so
with a name for honesty not before cred
tied to any of his predecessors, and which.
too, we believe is well merited. The cor
respondent of the Marysville appeal, of
Friday, pays him the following truthful
compliment, in abiding to his last mes
sage to the Legislature:
He also takes Summers radical position on
the question Of reconstruction, but out-Sum-
ners Sumner in proposing that, if necessary,
State lines and names both shall be abol-
ished in the insurgent regions. His style
rises to strain Of digni6ed eloqucnce in dis
cuSSing national affairs, and his allusion to
the Sanitary Commission is exceedingly beau
tiful and touching. The Governor retires
with an unexceptionable magisterial record.
His administration has reduced the ordinary
State expenditures, decreased the floating
and funded debt, and added largely to the
amount of school revenues. it has also in
augurated thorough organization of the
militia, and system which stimulates and
aids agriculture, manufactures and internal
improvements. Take him all in all, he has
been CalifOrnia's best Governor.

The Courts.

JUDGE KELLoGG's Court, this Morning
H. Henncss, tom Johnson says same
man who found the Pass was arrested by
officer Householder for being found dead
drunk, and had to be taken care of. The
serious part of the business being made
known to defendant, he very good-naturcdly
plead guilty. Fined s. and costs; but on a
very close inspection, his pockets and purse
not being very plethoric, the hcartless Court
committed the aforesaid Pathfinder" of the
Henncss Pass Road to We Calaboose, because
of We transgression on We law for We terrifca-
ton of wine-bibbcrs.
John Stewart, arrested for being drunk,
was dischargcd-and artery inquiry, John
proving to the satisfaction of the Court that
he was sober, and that the idea of his shak-
ing hands with the town pump, or taking off
his hat and addressing lamp-post was all
mistake all of which he proved with tears in
his eyes, and indignant mien on his open
brow. The appeal was too much for the
Court, and His Honor, we expect, is yet in
doubt, whether even John slept in the Gala
boose or in his own virtuous and sober
sheets.
John Doe, name that appears in the po-
lice courts very seldom, was charged with
being unusually dead drunk, last night, and
the fact being quite clearly proven, John was
adjudged to pay fine Of - and costs, which
he accordingly PUNCHED and left.
An Italian named Peaslinch, just in from
Reese, was arraigned, and appeared by coun-
sci. He was charged with most heinous
crime, and the trial has been postponed I'M
til the witnesses can be obtained, and the
District Attorney informed of the case.
JUDGE LECoNEY'S COURT. Although
"blue Monday but few cases were brought
before Judge Leconey this morning, but these
few were hard ones-tipplers and fighters
all of whom were disposed Of as made and
provided by law.
JUDGE ATwILL's COuRT.-Nothing was
done at this Court, this morning. Sundry
cases, however, will be heard this afternoon,
all being suits to recover property from al
legged dclinquents on notes, book accounts,
house rents, etc.

The II. s. SenatOrship,

The Constitutional Convention having
brought their'labors to close, and "the Con-
stitution as it is" for our State, will soon be
submitted to the people for ratification. tits
time then that the people should take into
consideration who are to be the officers of
our young State. Nevada, the Silvery State,
in point ofmineral wealth, will be the bright
est star in the constellation of the blue field
of our glorious banner. Nevada, too, pos
sesses intellects bright as the silver in her
mines-bright as the stars in the midnight
sky. That those who represent her in the
National Congress can, by their ability, add
to her lustre, or by their stupidity diminish
it, none will doubt. Let us then have the
most gifted of our citizens to represent us in
the National Councils. Being ourSelf an
humble worShipper at the shrines Of genius
and eloquence, we want to see the brightest
intellects sent to the U. S. Senate; and of
the many gifted spirits in this land of silver
land sage brush), HENRY EDGEEToN is our
man-our beauideal. Possessed of splendid
education and brilliant talents, we think he
would be an honor to this or any other State
in the National Councils. Within the next
six years, grave questions will have to be
settled in Congress-questions requiring the
thought of the most gifted men. Fortunate
will it be for the future of the nation if her
best men are in her councils. or HENRY
EDGERToN we speak as one who knows him
well, and knows him to be sound to the hearts
core for the UNION as one whose patriotism
has never been questioned, and as one whose
honor was never doubted. He was of the
most intelligent, gifted and eloquent of Cali
fornia's Legislators and Orators, and has the
esteem aid confidence of John Conncss,
California's best Senator-and is one who
will have as much influence with the Pacific
delegation in Congress as any other man We
can send. In point Of intellect, capacity and
splendid talents, HENRY EDGERToN towers
as high above the former Pacific Coast Scna-
tors as the Colossus of Rhodes above a
monkey. And we predict that if Mr..
EDGERToS is elected to that exalted posi-
ton, that he will write his name as high
upon the rolls of immortal fame as any Of
the bright spirits who have preceded him.

Union Central Territorial Committee.
THE NEWS.

The dispatches of yesterday morning
were of considerable interest. John Nor
gan. the notorious, has been seen on his
way to Dixie. The Army of the Potomac
was lying on its arms without prospect of
movement, and was preparing comfort
able winter quarters.
Lees army now occupies the following
positions: Hills corps is around Orange
Court House. where Lee has his head
quarters Early's division is near Sum-
merville; Rhoads' is at Martin and To-
bacco FordS; Johnson's is at MitchelrS;
Browns is at Gcrmania Ford. From
dense volume of smoke in the woods south
of Raccoon and Martins FordS, it is evil
dent the enemy is in force there. Rebel
authorities state that Lee had over sixty
thousand men in the last campaign, ard
that ne was certain OF victory had we the
rashneSs to attack him in his position. 1t
is stated the enemy is building winter
quarters.
Rebel accounts report that Georgia has
ordered the CONSUMPTION of every able
bodied person over fifteen.
JEFF Davis had sent mournful message
to-the rebel Congress. He grieves over
the unfriendly attitude of foreign nations,
especially Great Britain. The financial
condition of his kingdom is deplorable.
The obstruction of rebel communication
across the Mississippi also troubles jeff
much. The rebel forces had fallen back
from Knoxville with loss of six hundred
men. and made stand at Morristown.
Another rebel pirate had escaped from
England and entered Calais, from
which place she will be allowed to
sail whenever the captain pleaSes. She is
the old man-of-war Victoria, aud has been
renamed the Rappahannock. Jean Cra-
peaud is breeding u scab on his nose.
Our dispatch to-day contains nothing
OF any great Importance.

something to say about our beer propcnsi-
ties As we don't get the NEws-wc haven't

Sorry about your not getting the NEWS,
neighbor. We receive your paper regu-
larly, and sent you one by mail until the
meeting of the Convention; since that
time we have sent it in the bundle direct
ed to the Sergeant-at-Arms of that body,
surprising that it would be delivered to
Your reporter. Some Independent"
member of the Convention has been rcgu-
larly nipping it, supposing it was sent to
him, we suppose. About that "becr

THE "NATIoNAL LIFE" OF BRITAIN.-
When will the English learn how to write
correctly about this country: A very friendly
press, the Daily Press, reviewing Haw-
thorne's book, says very compassionately
that our national life has been too short"
for the formation "of a homogeneous char
acter" among our people. We shouldlike to
know what homOgeneity there is among the
British people, though thousand years old,
composed Of Welshmen who cannot speak
English, of Irishmen always in revolt and
forever at enmity with their rulers, of Scotch
men who are distinct in dialect, manners and
customs, and even now are not too fond Of
the Sassenachs ? How much Of this is there
in the English counties of Yorkshire, Kent,
Cornwalls The truth is, there is far more
homogeneity in the United States, notwith-
standing its short national life, than there
ever has been in Great Britain, from the time
of the heptarchy down.-Ne,o York Post.

Ourselves.

We issue to-day paper of more res
pectable size, enabling us to present 4
greater amount of reading matter than we
have done for some weeks past. We have
been compelled to condense the advertise
memts of our regular advertisers into the
smallest space possible, and, in many in
stances, to leave them out entirely. We
have now more space and can give them
little more elbow room. This enlarge
ment of our paper is Of course attended
with increased expense, and we look with
confidence TO a proportionate increase Of
patronage. We shall at any rate endeav-
or to render our paper worthy of it wheth-
er we receive it or not. We have had no
reason to complain of the public thus far,
and for any extension of fayors shall be
duly thankful.

New National Banks.

From the New York independent
The plan suggested by Secretary Chase,
and adopted by Congress, to give to the coun-
try a uniform currency, is so well under
stood that we need not now refer to it in de-
tail. Already numerous banks under this
law are being organized in every direction,
and very shortly we shall begin to appreciate
their benefits. We have seen drawings and
proof-ShectS of the new currency, and are
happy to say that as specimens Of artistic
skill and beauty we have never seen them
surpassed, if equallcd.
We will mention few Of the reasons why
the people generally will demand the prompt
adoption of the system of Secretary Chase,
and why every locality. of much Importance
will soon have National Bank -
l. 1t will give the people uniform cur
rency, as it is designed, in furnishing banks,
to have the bills of each denomination exact
ly alike.
,. The engraving and entire workmanship
of the bills will be in the very highest style
ofart, and consequently the business Of coun-
tcrfeiting will be, practically, ended.
5. Every bill issued by every bank, no
matter where located, will command the ell
tire confidence Of the community from one
end of the nation to the other, aud pass cur
rent at all times, without question.
t. Each bank shall have, as basis for its
circulation and rs an unqucStionablc prutcc-
ton to the public, precisely the same sccur-
ity, viz: Government stocks.
). The faith of the whole nation-nDt of 4
single Statc-wiil be pledged for the rctlcmp-
ton of such Il circulation, and therefore it
would be preferred and sought after i'll all
business circles.
6. Such currency would be used as me-
dunn of exchange from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and would save the country millions
of dollars now annually paid to brokers and
ShaverS.
I. No jealousy or opposition would or
could exist between the banks, in time Of
panic, on account of their relative solvency
or safety. A small institution in Kansas
would hold up its head as high as the proud
est corporation in the city of New York.
s. One of the strongest arguments in favor
of the national banking system, is the great
strength it will give to the Government BY
creating in all quarters, city and country, a
demand for United States ecurities-furnish-
ing permanent market for at least two or
three hundred millions.
9. All these national banks, when cstab-
liShed, may be safely used as Government de-
positories under the internal revenue law,
and also, where there is no Sub-Trcasury, for
the safe-kccping of Custom House receipts,
postage money, etc.
