THE RlGnr NAME.-A more unfortunate
not have been made for the Territory now so
rapidly rising into State. With a county
and city so near it, of the same name, AS
might be expected, mistakes are constantly
occurring in the transportation ofle,ltrs and
packages. As the Territory is soon to be-
come n State. wa hope it will take to itself q
new name. OF the many that have been
suggested. we rather like the one of Argent

THE Estate RlGHrs ExposlroR"-M
By THE SoLDlERY learn 10y telegraph
that the office Of this paper was mobhed las.
week 10y the solliery stationed near VisaIia-
the p lace Of publication of the paper. 1t
seems that the company of Capt. Noble, Cal
ifornia Volunteers, recently matched to that
post. In the Erpositor of the 18th Of Feb
uary-Nlr j. Scott Ashmsn, Sheriff of Fresh o
county published over his signature com
mnnica,on charging The officers and men Of
the company with divers ou,rayes upon the
people-taking properly without c"mpensa
ton, killing cattle. hogs, robbing beehives,
BE, &c,-whilst on the march TO the post .
The Ell.ors say, that they received half a
dozen other letters from d tferent person.
along the line of march, all confirming the
statements of Ashman. and that one of those
letters hid been published in the San Fran
cisco News Letter; and that this letter AL
though on. Of their usual practice, was pub
lished because Of his reliability as a gentle
man. To this communication no response
WAS made, except by Anonymous writer's,
an ! in the issue Of the 5th of March, Ash
man gives notice that he will not answer
irresponsible scribhlers," but il Capt Noble
will deny his statements under his (Nabie ~
own signature, he (Ashman) will enter upon
the proofs of his charges.
The next day the office WAS mobbed by
the soldiery. We mention these facts, be
cause the Sac. Union and other abolition
prints. with their accustomed mendacily are
attributing the rutli.nism Of this gallant G.
command to political matters appearing il
that paper; and with characteristic meanness
whilst in a milkiand-wafer way condemnihe
the act Of the troops, selects such garblee
statements from previous issues Of the Expos
itor. as they believe would justify the act r
the minds of the aholi,ionists.

tax Of twenty cents on the 500 property

Yue and is very objectionable to many tax
payers The money, if appropriated in nd,
