SENATOR CONFESS AFTER THE QUAKERs.-In the
sion of the Enrolment Act, some member offered
an amendment exempting clergymen and persons
conscientiously opposed to airing arms. Du-
ring lengthy debate which followed, Mr.. Con-
ness said
q The exemptions under this clause would be
more numerous than Senat RS think The Uni
tartan might claim exemption because the i'm
mortal Charming had penned the profoundest
essay ever written illustrating the horrors of
war. His regard for the Quaker was equal to
that of any other Senator, but in this war he
would take issue with the Senators on the ques-
ton of exempting them if they refused r. pay
the Communication money. This is Quaker war.
They have claimed that slavery was the curse of
the earth-a barbarous institution in the world
| and this aggression against the institution has
been the object of their fostering for two
hundred years"
Salisbury, the De lware Senator who refuses
to take the oath of allegiance, interrupted Mr..
CONFESS asking if he understood the Senate. to
proclaim that this was war for the abolition of
slavery
CONFESS replied that he knew the Senator from
Delaware would be brought into this debate.
The Senator would find out what his opinions
were on the subject at another and more appro-
pirate time ; but the Senator pro-slavery,
he desired him to understand that he (COnness)
was anti-Slavery. He asserted that this a
war of moral forces against the institution of
slavery. He was opposed to the exemption for
conscience sake. He believed the safest aud
truest way to heaven was to strike rebel
wherever we can reach him. Applause

The SUPREME Court SECRETARY APPOINTMENT.
We are informed by friend at Sacramento that
the claim that John S. Barrett was appointed
clerk of the Supreme Court on the strength OF
having been a friend and supporter o. Conness,
is a mere pretense. If he voted for Conness in
1861. SO did ]. W. Coffroth, Jim Goods Frank
Hereford, and other secessionists but there is
good ground for saying that so far from sympa-
thizing with CONFESS when the latter went into
the Enion movement, he denounced his course in
she most decided manner, and never manifested
any regard for the principles maintained by him
pntil after the election of the latter U. S.
Senator made him power in the land. Conse-
quently the attempt to build capital on the
strength of CONFESS reputation is piece of i'm
pgdence, to say the least. We revert to this
matter because we do not like to see exception
able men placed in high positions at this time.

because the fraternity have lost good thing "
in the defeat of the Bill, for the sum proposed to

good authority, that an effort will be made dur
ing this session of the Legislature to abolish the
holding of Brigade Encampments, provided for
last Winter. An annual Camp of Instruction
for officers will be provided for, only. We are
really in hopes this will not be DONE In these
times of war provision should be made for the
annual coming together of all the organized
militia, as in older States. if not by Brigade En-
campments, then by general State Encampment.
True, such Encampments expensive, but
there is a way by which the expense could be
modified Let the Legislature set apart Militia

auired, to pay the expenses of the Encamppents,
and the cost would be from 25 to so per cent.
less than when done as it was last year. That

MORE {SNAS TBoUBLEs.--W. Wilson writes US
from Cecilvil1e, south Fork of Salmon river, in
klamath county, Jan. 18th, that the miners on
Pony creek, branch of New River, in this coun-
ty. had just arrived there, having been driven
from their claims two days before by band of
thirty Indians. They laid out two nights, and ar
rived at the crossing of Piummer creek this
morning, when they discovered that the Indians
were their track. He learned, while writing
that several Cinnamon had been killed at Browns
Bar, six miles below Cecilville, and II inhabit-
ants of the latter place were in constant fear of
attack. 1t was hardly possible for them to re-
ceive assistance unless it from Sawyer's
Bar, as the other camps on Salmon and Klamath
rivers have no more inhabitants than are requir-
ed for selfprotection. In view of this state of
AGadrs we recommend to the proper authorities
the absolute necessity of sending few hundred
more men to CASTOR, and the camps in Humboldt
county, without delay.

John P. Jones, like Henry, Buckeye by
chance of BIRTH and Californian by act of
settlement His well-flled physique, round,
forid good-humored face give token Of good
conscience and mind at ease with the world
He comes from Trinity, where, a merchant, he
sold the boys such excellent goods and gave them
such liberal credit that, actaated by gratitude as
well as admiration Of his talents and virtues,
they sent him to the Senate. lie is an attentive
member, keen a razor, and sets a good exam
pie by bringing his family here to reside during
the winter"
Nis not worth while to say to our home people
that there Is a slight recorded in the above
complimentary notice of our Senator. Mr. Jones
is Sheriff of this county until the first Of March,
be it understood abroad. Was never merchant
here, but nevertheless has given many Of the
boys liberal credit" as host of them will at
test. As regards his being a merchant, it may
be well enough to state that in company with his
father n-law he is now selling the accessories of
life to the copper hunters at the Zinc House, Ne

Duty OF UNION MEy.-A President of the
United States is to be elected next Fall, and we
deem it proper to call the attention of Union
men to what is their imperative duty during the
intervening time. We state on the most respon-
sible authority that the greatest exertions are
being, and will be, made, by the seeessioniats
and Copperheads of this State to carry It against
the Union ticket They are leagued together for
that purpose. The Copperhead Democracy will
put fortha War Platform, which the secessionists
of California will be asked to support until the
election is over. If they carry the State the
War platform will be forgotten, and the bogus
Democracy viii DECLARE in favor of jeff. Davis
and the right of secession.
RI Great exertions are being made to in crease the
circulation Of Copperhead newspapers, the only
sure antidOte to which is the vigorous mainten-
ance of those laboring to sustain the Union cause.
Union men should subscribe. for and have their
Copperhead neighbors read some Union news
paper-the Sacramento Union San Francisco
Erering Journaf-or, if they want something of
more modest pretensions, may take the TRINITY
