JUST BEFORE THE REBELLION.

Some chance threw in our way an old pa
per entitled the California Express. 1t bears
the wear mark of 1860, and, under its tele-
graph heading, we observed something Of
what JEFF. Davis had been saying in the Uni
ted States Senate, in reply to Senator
Douglas notices of State protection against
State interference. This was to protect the
South from further John Brown raids. But,
as goes the old paragraph:
JEFF Davis did not allow Senator Douglas
speech on the propriety of congressional legisla
ton for the protection of States from each other
TO go forth to the country unehallenged lie said
of the Presidents letter TO Gov. Wise: 1.-THE
President said well and wisely as became
tate's rights man, he not only does not possess
the power to 60 into State to discover what lille
gal organizations may there exist, but that IL
q power which would be dangerous in its exer-
else If II were possessed"
The above was spoken when the States
Rights theory was boldly preached in all de-
partments of government, and when the old
"Public Functionary" sat in the Presidents
chair as the plant instrument of men bent
on seeding from the Union. Dangerous
indeed! What greater danger could be
wrought to the Government than by having
those men occupying positions of trust, and
planning for dismemberment? Thanks to
suspicious events, the time has past when
such men as Davis can occupy seats in the
National Congress.

SEBASToPoL and NEW VIRGINIA
DISTRICTS.

Several weeks ago, a company of gentlemen
united for the purpose of sending some in
telligent and practical miner to Desert Dis
trict, to thoroughly prospect that country.
The Company procured Mr.. Dow OF TINS
place, TO 90 on the expedition, aud explore
the country for minerals. Yesterday ne re-
turned, and the results Of his prospecting
have shown tina, the Company was very for
inmate in the selection Of a man 10 prospect
for them. He first went to Desert District,
where he found that everything there that he
considered of value had been located. He
next proceeded to New Virginia District.
This District lies some twelve miles or more
northeas; OF the Desert. Here he made
several locations, from which he brought in
few specimens of splendid rock. After
thoroughly prospecting this District, he
turned his steps to still later discovery, and
what he thinks to be a still more valuable
one. This new discovered region has re-
eeiyed the name of Sebastopol District, and
is situated westward of New Virginia, and
eight or ten miles north Of Desert District.
Here Mr.. Dow remained for soma time, eS-
amining the lodges, and prospecting the
country. When he had satisfied himself as
to the merits of the country he had explored
he returned to Gold Hill. Immediately upon
his return, a meeting was called. and last
evening he exhibited to the members of the
Company specimens of rock from the differ
ent lodges which he had located. The rock
from New Virginia is of light brown color,
and that from Sebastopol is of a dark blue
color, with streaks of white. Mr.. Dow also
located cinnabar mine in Sebastopol Dis
uict. Specimens of this ore he Unfortunately
lost when coming into town, but he states
that it is of brown color, and that it is much
sought after by prospectors. The Company
intend to send him back again to more
thoroughly prospective claims he has located,
and the owners are sanguine that they have
as rich mines as are found at the Desert.

Later Dispatches.
ESPECIAL TO THE GOLD HILL DAILY NEWS.
Arrival of Treasure at New York.

Arrival of Treasure at New York.
NEW YORK, February 29.-The Champion
from Aspinwall has arrived with $407 900 in
treasure.
Andrews, the rioter of July, has been in
dicted for treason and other crimes.
The Defenses of Richmond.
An intercepted letter, dated Richmond,
February 10th, states that the rebel capital is
guarded by only two companies of heavy ar
tillery and four thousand citizen soldiers.
1t is believed that the appearance of any con-
siderable force of Yankees would be the
signal for general stampede.
Longstreet and JOhnstOn's Armies.
Longstreet's forces are set down at q, 900,
Johnston's at 81, 900, and Lees at $4,000.
Late from Mexico.
A letter from New Orleans says that Juarez
has reached Tamaulipas, and was preparing
to yield up all the country to the French.
From the Army of the Potomac.
A special dispatch to the Tribune says that
a portion of the Army Of the Potomac moved
last Saturday, and was in successful advance
Yesterday. This demonstration is a bold one
but it is in brave hands, and will be support
ed by powerful force.
From acknowledgements Re-
treat.
KNOXVILLE, Feb. 26.-At last accounts
Longstreet was still retreating. On the 24th
ult. his headquarters were at Greenville.
Schofield is pursuing, but no engagement is
expected this side of the Virginia line.
Deserters say Longstreet is retreating to
Richmond, leaving Johnston and Buckner to
protect the Virginia border. -.
Movements of Sherman's Army.
CINcINNArI, Feb. 2S.-The Atlanta (Ga.)
appeal, of Feb. 22d, says that sherman's pur-
pose is still a mystery, and it is not known
whether he will move against Mobile or turn
eastward with sudden and unexpected rapid.
ty He has moved against our weakest point
the Egypt of the Confederacy, where he can
subsist till spring and do more damage than
BY giving pitched battle. Sherman marches
in solid body, with artillery front and rear
and on the tanks.
.s.. Congressional.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-In the House,
Wilson, of Iowa, introduced a bill to pay
one-tenth of the Indebtedness of the United
States prior to July LIST, 1865, in greenbacks.
The House passed the bill for the issue Of
5000, 900, 900 in fye-forty bonds.
A bill was introduced providing that the
Act authorizing direct tax of 10000, 900
be suspended till April LIST, 1867. Referred.
In the Senate, Grimes, of Iowa, introduced
bill for the protection of overland emigrants
to the Pacific. Referred to the Military
Committee.

REMARKS IN RIcHMoND.-The Richmond
Enquirer says that the Federal General Az
Grill is evidently preparing another great raid
on some point in Virginia, and has a
force of 5000 men. The Charlottesville
Chronicle says his aim is Lexington or Marl-
boro. The rebel Congress adjourned on the
18th, to meet again in May. The Congress
man publishes long address to the people
giving the rebel view of the causes and re-
sponsibilities of the war, appealing to the
impulses of the Southern people again to fill
up the armies and drive the invaders from
the soil. In relation to peace, the address
saws: until some evidence is given Of a
change of policy on the part of the Yankee
Government, and some assurances received
that efforts at negotiation will not be spared,
Congress is of the opinion that any direct
overture for peace would compromise our
self-respect, be fruitless of good, and be IN
terpreted by the enemy as an evidence OF
weakness"

TmLRUTENANT aENERALsHR

The House of Representatives passed the
bill creating the rank of Lieutenant General,
and recommended General Grant for the po-
sition. The Senate has also passed the bill,
but stricken out the name of Grant. 1t is
urged by members of the House that
the great services of the Hero Of
vicksburg are entitled to the first considera-
ton of the American people, and he should
therefore receive the highest military promo
ton; which on the other hand the Senate ar
CUES that other generals may yet do distin-
Suished services for the country, emitting
them to the attention of Congress and Of the
President. There are reasons why we desire
the promotion OF Grant, and also reasons
why the appointment should be delayed. The
evident desire to get Grant in, is the fear that
Halleck may by some means receive the ap-
pointment-an event to be avoided if possible.
We think that Grant is in his proper element
fighting rebels down Southland the ap-
poiatment would call him from the field to the
councils at Washington. Halleck will be in
his proper element when he is removed from
military ascendancy.

Down FOR THE THIRD TINE. - On last
Saturday night, Downieville was destroyed
by fire for the third time. All the business
portion of the town disappeared before the
raging element. The houses on Jersey Flat
Cmostly private residences) and also on
Durgan Flat ION which stands the Court
House, were saved. Downieville was first
burned down in 1852, and again on the LIST of
January, 1858, and both times was rapidly
rebuilt; but it will be some time now before
it wears its former cheerfulness and activity.
Downieville was one of the most beautiful
mountain towns in California, was the county
seat Of Sierra, and at one time it enjoyed the
repute Of being in the richest mining district
in Northern California. The particulars Of
the FIRE, and where it originated, we did not
learn.

PROVISIONS AGAINST FIRE.

The citizens of this town must be aware Of
the fact that the warm dry weather Of sum-
mer will soon be here, and that the danger Of
FIRE will consequently be greatly increased,
and that the provisions against its ravages
are in a very imperfect state. Ifduring some
windy night, such as often occurs in the dry
period of the year, when the wind is sweeping
up the canon with terrific violence, ire
should break out in the lower part Of town,
the result would be dreadful. No assistance
could come from Virginia in time to render
service, and we have no sufficient supply Of
water, nor means of conveying the small
supply we have to where it would be needed.
The town has a well organized Hook and
Ladder Company, which would no doubt
render great service in the case Of confa-
grafton, but we also want the assistance Of
that greatest enemy of fire water. The
situation of our town is such that with little
expense we could have the assistance of this
great fre-destroying agent. If the Corpora
ton would have tanks built at convenient
distances along the erests Of the hills that
skirt either side of town, with sufficient
supply of hose attached, and keep them filed
with water, they would be of more real value
among these hills than portable FIRE engines,
more simple of construction, and always
ready. We think that this would be the
cheapest and most efficient provision that the
authorities could make against FIRE; but
should it not meet their appreciation, the
public danger requires that they shall pro-
vide some other means to preyentits ravages.

THE HELP OF THE NoroRIETY SEEKERS.
Many of our contemporaries are publishing
extracts from, and commenting upon the re-
cent speech of Fernando Wood, in the Unit
ed States House of Representatives. We
like to see treason and sympathizers with
treason held up to the indignant gaze Of an
intelligent and patriotic people, and the con-
trary shown to the foul aspersions of our
Government, or of the Administration But
would it not be polite occasionally for the
loyal press to treat such "patriots" with
proper contempt, by observing silence in re-
gard to some of their notions ? They seek
nOtoriety-some, indeed, martyrdOm," as
they term it-and for that purpose employ
invective against the Government IN all its
measures to suppress rebellion. By this
means little men very often assume to them
selves the possession of full-grown proper
tons Of very great gentlemen.

SPRINKLINe THE STREBTs.-Owing to so
much dry weather, the main street of Gold
Hill is now in a most dusty condition-the
dust for squares being several inches in depth
and the continual passing of teams and
horses keep up almost constant cloud Of
dust from the top Of the hill down to the end
of the town. This evil is about to be rene
died by our town Trustees, who had a meet
ing last night, and among other matters gave
this subject their attention. The main street
is to be sprinkled at night BY watering carts,
and the costs for which are to be levied upon
the different stores, dwellings and business
houses along the street. We presume no
one will object to defray his proportion Of
the expenses of work which will result in
SO much benefit to our town, as this watering
operation will certainly be. So bring forth
the watering carts, gentlemen Trustees, as
soon as possible, for the dust is an eye-sore.

AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CoSsTI-
rurIoS.-On tho 18th, the Judiciary Committee
of the Senate, reported in favor of the following
amendment to the Constitution:
Resolved by Congress, twothirds of both Houses
eoncurring That the following article be pro-
posed to the Legislatures of the several States as
an amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, which, when ratified by three-quarters of
said Legislatures, should be valid as part cfthe
Constitution: Article Thirteenth, Section First
Neither slavery, nor involuntary servitude, ex-
eept as punishment for crimes whereofthe party
shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States or any place subject TO their
Jurisdiction. Section Second-Congress shall have
power to enforce this Article by appropriate leg
islation-
There being thirty-four States, 1t will require
twenty five to rstify the foregoing. Twenty-Five
can be relied upon, without counting Kentucky,
Tennessee, Arkansas, or Louisiana The three
last named will, doubtless, as soon as possible
adopt the amendment, and thus the abolition Of
slavery be virtually accomplished by constitution
al means-SGc. Bee.
1t remains to be seen whether some of the
Union men in California will evade the ques-
ton or not. They will be careful not to COM
NIT themselves, at any rate, till the dear peo-
pie show which way the wind is blowing.

OLD J. NJ. B.-Our readers probably re-
member the sensation reports circulated BY
ambitious newspaper aspirants Of the pro-
posal to John Minor Bolts to become United
States Senator from the loyal government Of
East Virginia, and his answer and reasons
for not desiring the honor. 1t turns out, of
course, to be all CANNON. Bolts hates the
United States Government, despises the JEFF.
Davis olgarchy; is particularly in love with
the "Old Dominion" and an old ass on
general principles. We take the following
from the Alexandra Gazette Of January 18th,
which explains itself:
Like most other statements in regard to this
gentleman (Mr BottO there Is not one word of
truth in 1t. Hon. G. S. Smith, the gentleman al
luded to, never addressed 4 letter to Mr. Bolts on
the subject Of the United States Senatorship, and
of course could not have received reply TO the
letter which was never written. Such statements
as these are calculated to do Mr.. Bolts great in
jury, and we cannot see why correspondents for
northern papers persist in making them"

TURN EN- Our. The San Francisco
Custom House and the Branch Mint have
certainly been peck Of trouble to the pres.
ent Administration. The last difficulty ex-
isting in the Custom House we see is an
nounced in telegraphic dispatch to the
Sacramento Bee, which is to this effect:
MANY and different rumors are aAost concern
ing Federal officers One il that Congressional
investigation had been ordered to be madS in the
affairs Of the Custom House and Mint, and that
James, the Collector, had been ordered to Wash
ington in consequence; also. that Deputy Collec-
tor Burke, through the influence Of Congressman
Cole, his brother.nlaw, was likely to be appoint
