The LAST OF A REGIcIDE FAMILY.-Mr.
William Golf, whose death was reported
in our columns yesterday, was lineal de-
scendant of the famous William "Gotfe,"
one of the Judges who sentenced Charles 1.
to death. The regicide, with Gen. Whal-
10y, arrived at Boston in July, 1860, and
our late fellow-citizen often expressed the
opinion tina. he was the last male descend
ant of the noted ancestor whose name he
bore. The deceased was for many years a.
member and officer of the Winslox
Blues" and as such was on duty on the
Notifications of Boston Harbor in the war
Of 1912. He was an intelligent, active and
most worthy citizen, and held in high
esteem by all who knew him. For long
series of years re was at the head OF the
polishing department in the pianc~forte
establishment of Chickering & Sons His
age was sixty-seven years. - Boston

ON COLONEL GRIERSON,S LATE
BRILLIANT CAVALRY RAID
THROUGH MISSISSIPPI.

Written for the Pioneer.
Mount to horse, mount to horse
Forward, battalion!
Gallops the gallant force.
Down with rebellion.
Over hill, creek and plain,
Chatter the fearless
Dash away, splash away
Led by the Peerless.
Hark to the ritle-crlck
Wild cOnflagration
Marks where the brave bear
The flag of the nation.
Down on the rebel hordes,
Gaping with wonder,
Dash they with cleaning swords
And war-crics of thunder.
Rebels fly, traitors fly.
Hither and thither;
Under the dcath-firc
They talter and wither
Burn the bridge, tear the track,
Down with rebellion;
Cut the wires, cut the wires:
Forward battalion!
Night and day, night and day,
Gallop the fearless
Swimming the rivers flood
Led by the Peerless
Depots and powder trains.
Blazing and laundering:
Traitors and dusky slaves
Gazing and wondering
Eight hundred miles they ride
Noble battalion.
Down through the trlitor-land-
Heart of rebellion.
Sleep on the gallop, they,
Bold cavaliers,
Wake at the flash, when
The foeman appears.
Sixteen days, sixteen days,
Riding and warning
Into our lines they ride
The gallant and daring
Smoking behind them,
The land of rebellion,
Cheering they greet our flag,

Col. Wilder, who had command Of a
brigade of cavalry, in the recent two
days battle in Georgia, and who dis
tinguisbed himself by bis impetuous
courage and daring arrived in this city
Yesterday morning. He is in bad health
and takes a respite to recover, by order
Of Gen. Rosecrans.
We are very happy to learn that he
does not consider the gallant Army Of
the Cumberland and lie noble chief 10
any danger They are strongly fortified
in Chattanooga, and have % days
supplies The wagon train is on the
North side of the Tennessee river, where
Gen. Mitchell has heavy cavalry force
to guard itsnd the fords, so as to prevent
The enemy from CROSSING the river. II is
the general opinion in the army that the
loss Of the Oonfederates is much greater
than tat Of the Federas. The prison
ers captured by the former are mostly
wounded men who could not be removed
from the field; whilst the prisoners cap.
tured by the Federals are men in good
fighting condition, and were well armed
and equipped. OF these there are 1900
whom Col Wilder brought from Ohatta-
noOga 10 the railroad for transp ortation
to this place. Amongst these prisoners
are men belonging to the oelebrA I'd
SlOnewali brigade Of Jackson, now COM
handed by Longstreet. We learn that
this brigade had Just arrived in the cars
whilst the battle was in progress, and
went into it without stopping to take
their morning meal.
Gen. Rosecrans was expecting rein
forcements, and it is probable they reach.
ed him yesterday.

Prisoners say Bragg was on the ridge just be-

were left in the hands of the enemy after our
unsuccessful assault, but were ultimately re-
covered.

artillery to the number of 40 pieces. Hooker
captured FIVE boxes of new muskets on lookout

San Francisco Boilers.

Much has been written upon the subject OF
whether or not the San Francisco delegation
shall be admitted into Union legislative coun-
sells during the coming session. We have
seen no argument giving sufficient reasons
why they should not be received by the men,
bers of the Union party, provided they presen,
themselves as unconditional Union men, and
are in favor of sustaining the Administration in
| its war policy and in favor of vigorous pros
ecution of the war until the rebellion is snb-
dued. We are ready to welcome any man or
set of men, who sincerely hold to these princi-
piles, let them come from whatever source they
may. These are no times to make men patriots
or traitors, by trying to hold their couscicnces
under that arbitrary discipline of the old Demo-
cratic organization that forbid the right to vote
atty of accommodation. In times like
these Union men 10 be known by
their principles, coupled with their acts, and
no fear need be entertained of few members
of the Legislature, Gf they were elected by the
Peoples party in San Francisco,) should they
present themselves as Union men, and wish to
unite withAlose who were elected by the regu-
lar On iation. To reject them would
be to &ness, and create distrust
in the ~ .as <-sGe people of the soundness of
our principles.
We regret that the Union organization of San
Francisco did not place men in nomination for
local officers. that were acceptable to a majori-
ty of the people of that patriotic and loyal CITY,
M other place in the State failed to nominate
such men. Then why was the failure permitted
in that city? Did the organization nominate
their best men? We fear not or the Peoples
local ticket could not have received the coun-
tenance of SO large plurality of the citizens
of that city. 1t is we'll known throughout the
State that San Francisco has been governed by
the Peoples party since 1856, and that it has
been one of the best governed cities in the
Union. That party was organized MS a neces-
sty to defeat the intrigues of political dema-
gogues who controlled elections through party
caucusses and conventions. And who can say
that it has not been benefit to the entire State
as well rs the city itself?
The question as to who are boilers should
be confined to The locality where it originated,
and should not be allowed to distract the Union
organization of the entire State, or interfere
with TIE action of the Legislature under any
circumstances. A large majority of the Legis-
lature are the true representatives of the Union
organization, who know the wishes of the peo-
pie, and we have sufficient confidence in them,
to trnst them to perform their duties. for the
best interests of the State, and trust they will
let the people of San Francisco settle their
own affairs in their own way
If that delegation choose to 60 into caucus
with other Union men. and there seek to carry
out other than true Union principles, their own
