McDouGAIL..-"Castine, Washington cor
respondent Of the Union, says at is generally
considered here that the McDougal resolutions
of the California Legislature, which have been
republished, are very mild on the personal
habits of the Senator. His irrepressibleuess
has made bis peculiar style matter of common
notoriety, while his votes are not thought
worth noticing by men who only know him by

Copper as an Investment.


A. Campbell. Esq, one of the editors Of the
Lake Superior News and Journal, writing 10
his paper from the city of New York, and
speaking of copper mining, says:
We venture the assertion that there IS 10
stock 10 the world either SO safe or remuneratiye
as copper stocks. Bank, Railroad, State and
National stocks, except the initiation Of specu-
iation. have a standard value based upon the
dividends they viii surely pay, or from SIX 10
Ten percenium yearly, but in copper. if the
ground is certainly known TO be rich and
abundant, averaging from two aud bali to
i've Per cent. of stamp work, the capitalist who
buys from one 10 FIVE thousand shares of its
stock al SO or Sl5 or $50 per share, and then
invests from So to S5 more per share in the
form OF assessments 10 open and work the mine,
Is sure TO have a stock worth from $50 10 SlOO
result that warrants the investment The
stocks of the mines upon the south range Of the
Ontonagon district are very firmly held and
constantly advancing, and We shall be much
disappointed il most OF the mines upon it do
not, IN 40 Incredibly short time, rival The very
best now on the lake.. they certainly VIII, If
the stockholders shell out their money upon
their ground, and put up sufficient mills and
machinery.
The above Says the Mining ard Scientific
Press is written after an experience Of some
fifteen years of copper mining at Lake Superior.
Il will be noticed that two and half 10 FIVE
per cent. yield of stamp work." or what we in
California would call second class ore, from
which the shipping ore has been selected, is
there considered a remunerative class of ore ;
and that mine producing such an ore must
soon, BY proper development. reach high
figure in value. As an evidence of the value
placed upon Lake Superior copper stocks, we
may note late transaction which occurred at
the Rooms Of the Fourth Street Board of Trade
10 the city Of Pittsburg. The property and
effects of the Adventure Mining Company,
located in the county of Ontonagon, Michigan
Lake Superior). was sold at the Board, Jan
18th, for Sll0 000-one fourth cash.

IT is stated says the Bee that latterly recruits
have been obtained in the city Of New York
at the rate of about thousand per day. 1t is
evident that if the rebellion is not wiped out
in the campaign of 1864, the failure will not
be for the want of men to wear the Union
blue, bear up the Springfield rifles, and carry
the flag and keep step to the music Of the

DEATH OF AN OLD CALIFoRNIAN.-H C..
Worth. an old Californian, who emigrated to
this State iu lS49, via Cape Horn, and was
constantly in business at San Francisco from
that time up 10 1861, died on the 22d of Feb
ruary, at Olaremont, New Hampshire, of ty-
phoid fever. He was brother of George F.
Worth, Deputy United States Marshal of the

The State Convention.

The Union State Convention, which Assem-
bled at Sacramento, on the oath ult., closed its
session on the 25th On The first page of this
paper will be found the names Of the delegates
appointed to the National Convention, the
platform adopted, etc. With such men as
Thompson Campbell aud Gen. Bidwell to rep
resent California at Baltimore, the loyal people
Of the State may confidently expect that their
views of the men and policy required in this
great crisis will receive the fullest consideration
The people Of this State, with their loyal breth-
rem throughout the nation. have, after mature
deliberation, concluded that ii would be unwise
and dangerous "to swap horses in the middle
Of the stream" and our delegates are instructed
to act as q unit for the denomination by accla-
nation Of the rheei horse of the Union-A bra
ham Lincoln. This action of the Golden State
will adorn one Of the brightest pages in her
history-proving beyond cavil her steadfast
loyalty to the Union in its most trying hour,
Notwithstanding the efforts of a contemplate
minority OF "chivalry" aud doughfaces to carry
ber into the vortex OF Secession.
All that now remains TO insure the triumph
ant success of the Union cause 10 this State at
the Presidential election, is the maintenance OF
= harmonious and cohesive position by the
party, which can alone be done by discarding
oil minor issues and trivial differences. There
is nothing to be gained for the cause of the
Union, nor for the advancement Of the political
ambition of any man or set Of men, by an
attempt to raise new issues in the party, or TO
discriminate as to the status of persons in the
Union ranks who do not see things exactly in
the light they are viewed by other Union men,
but who, Oh all questions of paramount impor-
taDce, are unreservedly, with all other true and
patriotic men, pledged to faithful adherence
to that great party of the people who are now
supporting the Government with such great
uDanmity, despite the efforts of demagogues to
create dissensions and distrust, 10 order that
they may secure political triumph at the
expense of the nation. Let our motto be, a
union of all Union men for the sake of the
Union and the final result of the struggle
now being waged for the perpetuity of the
Federal Union, and the vindicaton of the
truths embodied in the Declaration of our
Revolutionary sires, cannot be matter Of
doubt. In the language of great statesmen,
the Union, "more firmly fixed than ever, will
stand, uumoved, enduring and immovable"

MCDoUGALI-CoNSEss A Washington
Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat saws
truly that the loyal press of California are
unanimous in their expressions of Indignation
in regard to the course of Senator McDougall
and are following up the request of the Senate
of that State, for him to resign, with the most
scathng and bitter denunciatons of his politi-
cal course and his personal habits But I am
told that he will probably pay no attention to
the official action of the Legislature OF his
State. He continues 10 sink lower and lower
in his bruti>hness, and lower and lower 10
the depths of COppeIheadsm. Whisky and
disloyalty have gained complete mastery over
him.. All personal intercourse between Sena,
tor ConDess and himself, has, believe, ceased.
II is the msst lamentable instance Of Senatorial
degradation known in Congress for mauy
years.
The contrast between McDougal ard Con
ness renders the case more especially notcea-
bic. The latter is man of unusual dignity
OF department, and the very opposite in every
respect, of bis colleague Senator Conness is
indeed an ornament to the Senate and an hon
or to the State which sent him. 1t is well
known that he was not elected as Republican
but as War Democrat, so that the Admins
tration had only right to expect that be would
support it in It's general war policy, but be has
worked constantly true as a member of the
Union party, and to day there is not more
reliable and efficient antislayery man than he
in the United States Senate. If there were
anything TO console California for her betrayal
by McDougall. it would be the faithful repre-
sen'ation by Conness, Of her interests and prin-
ciples.
