General Nc cDowell.
|. appears General Mcdowell has been az

Il appears General Mcdowell has been sp-
pointed commander of this department
in place Of Gen. Wright. This appointment
will give general satisfaction to the loyal peo-
PIE Of California and Oregon. He has proved
himself, in battle, FIRST class military man.
History has indicated the correctness of his
motives and judgment Of his coOduct in the
war at the East. and his record stands clear
and bright. He Is IN the favor Of the Admin
trsiion, which il evidence sufficient that he
s entirely free from suspicion. In speaking OF
the change Of commanders the San Francisco
Journal says our relations with France on the
Mexican question are unsettled and unsatisfac
ry. A freak or long hidden scheme Of Louis
Napoleon may at any moment involve the two
countries in war iu which California would
afford the weakest aud most convenient point
of attack. Besides this the copperheads have
few months They have never been more
boastful Of their own powers nor exhibited
their peculiar chivalric propensiles more
fully BY imputing cowardice to every one else
than now. They have never been SO bold in
their threats to initiate side rebellions in aid
of JEFF Davis.
Mayhap they have never had stronger hopes
nor deeper laid plans, for securing possession
Of the forts and public property in and about
San Francisco. The order for raising ten
regiments in California shows that the author
tiles At Warrington are aware of our critical
position, and the appoin' ment OF General
Mcdowell, shows determination to give US
proper commander TO direct our forces.
The administrative talents Of Gen Mellow
ell will fnd ample scope in bringing out the
military force on this coast, and giving it shape
and system, and perhaps no long time will
elapse before his lighting qualities may be
brought into play. We expect Copperheads
will make themselves wresched over the
change, but We shall rejoice none the less, for
that reason.

the 18th September, 1893. This build.
ing was set on FIRE by the British in the
war of 1914, at the conclusion of which
it was rebuilt. The wings were added
in 1851, on July 4, the anniversary Of
the Declaration Of Independence. Un-
der the cornerstone of the addition to

growing every day stronger and stronger
in the affections of the great body of the
American people, and attracting more
and more the admiration of the world"
Just ten years after this was uttered the
Special Session of Congress of July 4,
1861, was convened for tho purpose of
taking measures to put down the insur-
rection of the Southern States.
