4 Permanent Land Force for Cali
forDia

The Washington correspondent Of the ).
F. Ev. Journal writes as follows, under date
of Jan. l4sh, concerning the preparations
making by Government to place the people
of this coast on a war footing; we suppose
this Territory comes in for share OF the
soldiers:
Since California first spoke ont so ernphaticaiiy
for the Union and against treason nj her hrst
election after the rebellion broke out in the Slave
States the Government have felt that our state
was fixed unalterably among the loyal OF the mn
ton. and the duty OF protecting the great I'D
settled wilderness of the interior, and the long
shore OF the Pacific coast was assigned to her pa.
trintic citizen soldiers This duty which extended
to driving the nest of rebels who had seized
Arizona ont of that Territory, and taking posses
sion of the western gates of Texas Us well us
bringing TO suhjugatlon II horde OF savases from
British Columbia 20 Mexico, has been promptly
and faithfully fulfilled But as these forces, FEW
at most in numbers, were. BY necessity, scattered
over !. wide extent CT territory, 1t has been deem
ed prudent by the War Department, after its
need was made fully apparent by our delegation,
to take steps for the organization OF home
force to be stationed in California TO be available
for any emergency. As before stated the Gov
erurncnt forrsees the possible contingency of large
organized rebel forces, now being driven from
the Mississippi valley, making their way to the
Pacific coast. As nucleus for the rapid organi-
cation of the militia forces Of the State, 1t has
been decided to raise drill and equip u full resi'
mcut OF artillery for permanent service Ill Caii'
f,rrlia to be composed Of six full batteries with
Napoleon and PARROT guns, AMI equipments
complete: AMI having regiment Of cavalry
aid three regiments Of infantry. This, il Will be
seen. will make formidable military Orgdn!za-
ton for any emergency likely to happen.

DEAD, AS We SAID.-We said few days
ago that the Virginia Enterprise was fatal to
al its own recommendations that it could
not fail of killing any measure which it I'M
dsrtook to start, or to follow in advocacy.
It's own deadliness and the Consciousness Of
its tribe, Stayed the unfortunate Constitu-
ton. So it brought speedily to death its
consolidation project. Yesterday the new
charter bill of the city of Virginia became an
act of both branches of the Territorial As
sembly. The Enterprise and consolidation
were never taken into consideration at all.
The poor fatalist squelched its own sque!ch-
sation without the slightest difficulty. Dark
foreboding; who knows but that it will take
TO dreadful melancholy and turn its venomous
tail toward its own head and sting "hisself
to deaths The new charter provides against
the accumulation of public debt exceeding
the sum of one hundred thousand dollars
requires the payment of scrip now outStand-
ing; divides the city into four wards, and
makes the most Of the officers elective by
the citizens.

RRENcHIzED MEXICO.

A few days ago we yentured few words
generally upon European affairs. We then
denounced the conduct OF, and the ontraSes
committed 6y neutral powers toward and up
on friendly Republic, and pointed out a few
of the wrongs committed in the name Of such
neutrality. But although the triple alliance
WAS n failure through the non est conduct OF
England and Russia, and although the Next
cans have fought nobly and manfuiiy for
their rights and their country, yet the French
EmDeror has been able to effect much, and 1t
* positively announced that the Creature Of
his appointment is really going to Mexico to
assume the throne of government. We do
not envy Macmillan the position he is about
10 take, nor do we admire the humiliating at
titude he must inevitably assume. &c assert
that monarchy is to be peaceably estab-
Eshed, or that Republic is to DC changed
from such against the Will Of Its people, oy
the United States, is Simplyto assert that the
Confederacy of the Southern States IS to De
recognized as being composed of independ-
emit States, and that our own free foEES OF
government is to be abandoned as failure.
We cannot bring our mind to any such con-
elusion. What the intentions OF the French
Emperor are in regardto our domestic trou-
bles remains mystery: but conclusionwould
naturally be that an understanding exists that
our Southern brethren" are to receive mate
rial aid and support from across the
ocean, and one more desperate effort made
to rStrievethe falling fortunes Of the Con-
federacy. The former reply Of Maximisian'
taken into consideration with his recent ac-
tons, would naturally draw us to the above
conclusion. But the reign of MaSimitian IN
Mexico is bound to be short in duration, and
it will end with ignominy upon its authors
and sustainers. No fear need be entertained
of any permanent result being arrived al to
crush out republican form of government on
the American continent, or Of European aid
