GEN. GRANT AT THE PRESIDENTS LyvEg-
At a recent levee at the Presidents mansion
in Washington, Gen. Grant was present, and
was of course the great attraction Every body
was delighted Says an eye witness) at bis diff
dence and soldier like bearing. Neither the
President nor any of the Cabinet, except
Stanton, had ever seen him before. He had
never before been in the White House He
was frequently cheered by the guests in the
East room. He blushed like a girl. The
hand shaking brought streams of perspiration
down his forehead and over bis face. The hot
room and empreSSement of the crowd, and the
excitement of the occasion, swelled every vein
on his forehead. He looked more like soldier
in a hard fight than a hero in a drawing room
He had lost the key of his trunk, and so came
TO the levee 10 his rough and ready travelling
uniform, a good deal the worse for wear, but.
after all, quite characteristic.

doubleday, aud then each district wilrbot run
the chance OF being overriddeu in convention
oy other districts, and The certainty Of combi
na'ions, oy men who cannot control their owl
district. nor get nomination without the aid
Of outside influence
The Senators represent the State as uni'
The congressman represent the State in frac
tlons, and The theory that the House of Repre-
sentatives come direct from the people can be
practically carried out in DO other way than by
selecting them in District Convention.
We speak iu this not alone for the Third
District, but in the interest of each of The
Districts of the State. We are better &C
quainied with men in our Own vicinity than
with those who live ct distance, and have 20
desire to mix in the affairs of the party outside
of our own district.
This is sober and sound argument against
the State Convention plan, aud ought 10 con

the District system. The Uuion closes lis

then for Hon. F. NJ. Smith, of this county
Among the newspapers in this District which
favor District Conventions, are the Marysville
Appeal, Shasta Courier and Red Bluff Iude-

PITCH GATHERERs. The Portland Oregonian
of April 25th says the prospecting for favora
bic trees by the pitch gatherers has become
quite business in Oregon. The trees that
yield the best are those which have received
"checks" in the grhin, from wind shakes or
other causes, and it not unfrequently occurs
that, when one of this class is tapped, pitch will
gush forth in steady stream, yielding ten. or
even twenty, gallons in a very few minutes.
The generality of trees, however, yield but from
FIVE to eight gallons The tapping process is
performed with long augur, two-inch bore,

Southwest.
One who is unacquainted with the facts
would be surprised to learn how great the
industrial activity is which follows our
armies Southwark. A correspondent Of
the New York Times states some impJr-
tsDt facts in connection with the subject,
which are very impressive. Writing from
Nashville he says:
@There are now about fifteen hundred
miles Of road, employing eighteen thou
sand men as mechanics, engineers black
smiths, conductors, brskesmen, laborers,
sc. The rolling stock consists of 27l ca
ginea and 5000 cars, while the buildings
erected within the past year, and occupied
by this particular branch, extend several
miles-a detailed description of which l
snail give bslow. will add, however,
that these buildings are built upon the
most improved plan of wooden structures,
all of which are guarded day and night
and protected against fire by a multiplicity
of rotary engines, steam hre-pumps, els
terms, &c, sc. -......
The writer shows that in rebuilding,
extending and perfectng what promised
20 be permanent railway system for the
Southwest connecting the great Ois-Mis-
siEsippi regions Of Tennessee, Georgia and
| Alabama, the Government Is now COM
| mitted TO al expenditure at the rate OF
25,O0OO00 a year. The largest proper
gion of this goes toward the payment OF
mechanics and unskilled laborers' wages
The locomotive and railway machine
shops at Nashville, we should judge from
the CORES spondents description, are among
the largest in the world. In these depart
\ ments there are now three Thousand me-
| chsnics employed, although the work hith'
erto PEI formed in them has not extended
beyond rebuilding and repairing. In the
machine-shop alone there are two horizon
| tai engines st work of three hundred horse
power The blacksmith shops and foun-
| dries are on an equally grand scale; and
the contingent provision for lodging and
boarding the workmen corresponds with
the vastness and completeness of the whole
| mechanical arrangements
In the car department fifteen hundred
men are employed, whose duty during thu
coming winter will be to turn out over tw'
hundred cars. The freight-house the ar
mory and the hospital accommodations, al
show the same extensive organization an'
careful arrangement.
Here Is subject matter for reflection b,

rhe Georgia Plan ofPeace.

The twoslates of Georgia and Alabama
seem to afford the Richmond editors
more occasion for denunciation than any
other rebel ssates The dsunOnAtrntion. OF
what are called The Becont tructionis.s snd
the recent action of the Georgia Legisls-
ture are very alarming to the gentlemen
who write within theshadow Of Jeh. Davis
presence. They fear that if the disafec-
tion continues 70 grow in those states, there
will soon be a party in the South in favor
Of the Union and general emancipation.
On the 9Th Of this month the Georgia Leg
.islature expressed itself IN series Of res
olutions, which, though not satisfactory to
the people of the North, are nevertheless
indieatiye of strong Union party in the
South. The Georgia method of reaching
peace, fit had been honestly followed out
in the beginning of the secession movement,
would possibly have prevented this bloody
war. Their plan is aieave all tbs states free
30 form their political associations with one
auoeher not by force CT arms, which exclu-
des the iis of consent but by rational
consideration of their respective interests,
growing out of their natural situations"
This is precisely the methOd which was
not employed either in Georgia or any
other State in the South that wss carried
OF by the rebellion a fres expression OF
the paopls Of the South waa sithsr not 81
Jo=ed or when it was taken, being over
7zhelming against secession, it was over
ruled in secret conclAve.
Another dsa in the Georgia plan is that
States, bsing sovereign, aTe justified in tax
ing whatever steps they may deem sdvis-
able IL order 70 obtsin peace The resolu-
lions adopted affirm unequivoeslly the
right of state to adopt independent stste
action and choose It's own destiny. In
view of this consideration the Georgia Leg
Stature think Convention of States would
be an excellent thing. The object to be
obtained in such convention they con-
fess 10 be 'plan for permanent peace"
The whole spirit of the resolution indicates
that they contemplate gaining their inde-
pendencs by this dodge of Convention
of the States" They know that the time
required for diplomatic maneuvering would
delay the final result until at length their
separation would be achieved.
This movement in the Georgia Legisla-
ture has 10 special significance only SO far
as it Is an evidence that an unconditional
reunion party is being slowly organized in
tRs South ont of the distractions and con-
tentions into which they have fallen. If
our own government shsll act wisely, SOW
ing dissensions in their midst By wise leg
islation and executive action, there will
soon be formidable power in the South,
which will demand cessation Of hoetii-
ties In order to q reunion of the sStstes-
We look, therefore, with hope TO the final
outcome Of this peace movement in
Georgis.

Gossip About Queen Victoria.

A late London letter gives the follow
ing gossip concerning the Queen of Eng
land:
Another story is going the rounds about
the Queen, which regard az totally apo

We have resident in London, "loysl"
IDdian Prince, the Maharsjah Dhuleep
Singh, q spendidly handsome fellow, in
the prime oflife- perfect Prince Djalma.
Well it is said that the widowed majesty
of England wanted to make him a success
sor to the late Prince Albert and would
positively have done 50, a few months ago,
hsd not the Ministers strenuously objected
70 such an act of royal miscegenstion.
Latterly the Msharsjsh has married
beautiful English girl Of the middle classes.
We may put the royal story down as un-
likely as that which assigned to her msjes-

destitute fugitives fly towards the prairies
Of Texas, they will cross the war path in

sound doctrines on the subieef OF
Peace from u Democratic Quarter.
We are pleased to remark in various
quarters a return to sound views by va
riOus Democratic newspapers. The Chi
cago Post, an able Democratic Journal
thus expresses itself on the proposition to
send Peace Commissioners to Rich
mond:
"Under this view of the case, We do
aot see what necessity there is for peace
commissioners. There is nothing to treat
about; nothing for negotiation. If the
rebel government proposes to dIsband its
.lrmies, General Lee and General Grant
in half sn hour can arrange the whole Of
that matter, If the Confederacy proposes
to dissolve its loosely bound political
Union, and allow the people il rebellion
70 return 70 their allegiance, Mr.. Lincoln
oy proclamation can proclaim general
amnesty, and without further action by
the confederates the Federal authority
vii resume It's sway. There is no mid
de ground upon which the two parties
can meet for discussion and compromise.
But despairing G: absolute independence,
The rebels have lesser proposition which
is really the proposition of the ''conserva-
tive" or psace men of their faction, but to
our minds it is as inadmisssble as absolute
Independence. 1t in substance means
that the present Union and constitution
shalt 70 to pieces, and that there shall be
erected g new Union and q new form o.
government. Each stale Is 70 be a sover-
