GRANT AND MEADE.-You should see the
brilliant cayalcade, and hear the tramp and
clanpor of hoof and sabTes when Grant and
Meade and their stats and the whole mount
ed retinue Of headquarters go sweeping by.
OF course the small man on the small black
horse leading the troop is Grant. If you did
not know it before the soldiers who rush out
TO the road, or half halt on the march, and
point him out to each other, have told you.
The small black pacing horse, half queens
pony, half kings Bucephalus, with arched
neck, and champing BIT, and small, alert,
flexible ears, and short, mouse-hke hair, and
great tail carried royalty like banner; whose
form is symmetry, spite of the sloping hips
that belong to all PAGERS, whose muscles are
watch-springs, whose impatient air seems TO
resent this small size-this little black imp OF
a horse that is all horse" is JEFF. Davis,
and Grant is on his back. The rider sits on
him with uncommon grace, controls hiRa. Win
one small gauntleted hand, never once re-
CARDS the torrent of horsemen that follow,
looks right or left, but never fails to acknowi-
edge with a quick gesture the salutes OF the
soldiers-all absorbed, all observant, silent.
inscrutsble, he controls and moves armies as
he does his horse. The rider at his side is
not less worth marking well. His horse is
the ideal warhorse, tail and powerful, and
horse and rider picture Of helmeted knight
Of old, gaunt, tall-ike, grizzled, with the
large Roman nose, Of will and power, and
wearing slouched hat, the wide brim bent
down all around, but not concealing the
lightning glanees Of eyes that are terrible in
anger-such is George G. Meade, noblest
Roman Of them all, relentless fighter, and
good General, to whose hearty and wise sec
ending Grant does not; and the country
should not hesitate to acknowledge the great
est Indebtedness.

CONVICTED OF TREAsoS.-Ja James F.
Dolan was lately convicted of treason in
the San Francisco County Court, and will
be sentenced to-day. The testimony
showed that he said that he was in favor
OF the South, and wished he had musket
to fight for her, and other language to the
same effect. Were there a law in this
Territory like that of California, upon the
subject of reasonable language, one term
of court could furnish the public with a
chain-gang of several hundred recruits,
who might be doing good service upon
the streets and highways instead of eulo-
gising jeff. Davis over bummed potations
of mean whisky. the present employment
of the majority of the crew.

The Popular Will.

We make the following extract from the
leading article of the Marysville appeal, Of
last Sunday:
The popular will Of the North is so I'M
equivocally for war in support of the Govern
ment, that even the peace party is forced to
nominate n nominal war candidate for the
Presidency. This fact is suggestive. The
Union is so firmly fixed in the hearts Of the
American people-that everything sentiment,
/" the Union shall be preserved" has such
deep hold upon the affections of the people
the belief that the Union is the anchor Of a
Republican Government-that Disunion is
chaos and anarchy, ending in Monarchy
these and like sentiments are fixed so indelli-
bly, in the minds of the North, that even the
great Peace party pay reverence to them by
nominating military chieftain.
Such action by the so-called Democratic
party seems to have reached and effected the
rank and file of the rebel army. The telegraph
tells us that Confederate soldiers are already
deserving in consequence Of losing hope Of
gaining peace through their confederates, the
peace party Of the North. The rebel desert
ers tell US that they thought the Chicago plat
form was to declare unequivocally fer peace.
They did not dream that the war sentiment
was SO strong in the North as to force the
peace party to take equivocal grounds-to
nominate a candidate believed by them COM
mitted by his action, and bound by every
declaration-to be in favor Of coercion. The
rebels had based great hopes upon aid to be
received from the peace Democracy. They
looked upon them as faithful and determined
allies, and that the Chicago platform was to
boldly set forth such principles, and the Con-
vention nominate such candidate as would
eventuate in the termination of the war and
the independence Of the Confederacy. They
had no conception that the war spirit Of the
North was so strong, and the popular breeze
was so powerful as to force the Peace party
to succumb and pay reverence to it. The
discovery Of this loyal influence and power
has broken the last hope of the rebel soldier,
and he comes into our lines and lays down
his arms.
The nomination Of Mcclellan by the Peace
party is entering noNe proseqn in the case.
It is an acknowledgment that the war senti
ment of the North is SO powerful that the
Peace party is forced to seek its support. 1t
declares that the Peace party dare not enter
the canvass with 4 peace candidate. 1t con-
fesses its own weakness and bids for votes
from the Union party. It acknowledges the
coercive policy Of the Government to be good,
and bids for power on the promise of contin-
uing to maintain it.

washoe, and when the boat is raised he can
give US his opinion as to whether there is
bad iron in the boilers which he inspected
and passed four months ago, and, we have
been informed, inspected several times since.
His opinion might be worth something to
the public, and good lesson to Boiler In
spectors besides.
The Visalia having returned with the body
Of Frank Dustin, the dead at the boat were
placed on board, and at Il o'clock we left for
Sacramento. As the boat neared the r
street levee the bell was tolled and answered
by the Navigation Company's boats at the
leyee, while hundreds of our citizens assem-
bled, and another sad sight was presented
them, as the eight bodies Of those we had on
board were conveyed to the Coroner's Office.

The Irish Vote.

Speaking of the utter blindness OF the
Irish, which leads them in defiance Of their
best interests, and in violation Of all self-re-
spect to vote with the Secessionists, the Sac.
rameuto Cjion of yesterday says:
The dainty chivalry, who have so bitterly
denounced the ''nasty Dutch and Irish" during
the war, will be very much rejoieed if these
obnoxious people will now vote the Copper
headtieket. The CopDerhead leaders who have
been betrayed occasionally into attacks upon
Dutch and Irish 'hirelin9s' in the Union army,
will also be thankful to hear the "swate Irish
brogue" in the chorus for Mcclellan. And
there is no calculation of success for disloyalty
OF which the Irish vote is not 4 vital element.
The Copperhead managers are confident OF OBJ
tanning the bulk Of this vote for policy
which would restore the practical Know
Nothingism OF the South, and for party
which is in full sympathy with the Tory OPP
pressors of Ireland. No doubt is entertained
that in the city of New York at least thirty
thousand majority will be obtained for Nc
Clellan, and that this majority will be largely
composed ST Irishmen who are controlled BY
the Woods, Barnard and McCun- In this
State Johu G. Downey has been nominated
for Congress to eoneiliate the Irish element,
and the leading organ Of tina. class Of our
population, conducted By a poor tool Of the
British aristocracy, is secured for the same
side. But for the Irish vote the Copperhead
party in California would be Of small account
In view Of this condition ofthings, those Irish
men who are acting with the Unionists and
who understand that II triumph Of the enc.
mics of the Government would not only
initiate against the interests of free labor
in this country, but gladdens the soals o.
that British aristocracy which has Away:
cursed with misrule the green isle Of tn,
ocean, have duty to perform. They should
not be content with simply casting their owl
votes upon the side Of strong and fire.
Union, but should endeayor to withdraw thei
eountrymen from the control of those disloya
demagoeues whose lofty estimate of an Irish
man Is that he is an ignorant voter who cal

against "niggers," and who heartily detes
him even while they seek his support.

The INDIANS IN ALPINE CouNrY.-The

nuts last year, followed by an almost total
failure Of that crop this season, is very SEN

DESPAIR OF THE SOUTH CARoLINIANs.-
One of the national officers just released from
confinement in Charleston City, reports that
no one can imagine how utterly used up and
hopeless the rebellion is, who has not spent,
as he has done, some months in its very era
die. The suferings Of the people are beyond
relief, and, whatever their Northern sympa-
thizers may think or pretend to think, they
themselves are in the lowest abyss of despair,
and utterly infuriate against the Richmond
tyranny under which they groan. They are
in want of the necessaries Of life, and there
is not an able-bodied man or boy in all South
Carolina who has not been ruthlessly con-
scripted.-N. Y. Herald.

To the Citizens Of lMuWqnd Whilst
we are waiting with such intense anxiety
the operations Of our ar-y in Virginia.
now so steadfastly fighting their way to
Richmond, the first thought that instinc-
lively arises in every loyal heart is, how
can We most cffectually support and assist
them. One of the mos: obvious means by
which such assistance can be promptly
rendered is to organize force that may
relieve those now employed in guard or
other duties within the State, that they
may be all sent to the front.
This might be done at once. under the
authority of the act Of assembly passed by
the Legislature at IFS late session, and
which empowers the eormander-in-chief
to orgarize the militia of the State, and By
draft or otherwise to- call into actual SER
vice as many as may be necessary, not ex-
ceeding 10000 men, to meet such an
emergency Before executing this power,
however, desire to appeal to the patriot
ism of our citizens, and to invite them to
furnish in the way of volunteers suffi-
cient number for the purpose above indi-
Gated.

The Cambridge (Md. } Democrat has an
account of the forcible enlistment of large

by the military authorities. The negroes
are represented as having been unwilling
TO, leave their homes. but it is stated. that
they were forced or dragged of in spite Of
their tears and entreatics. These outrages
have doubtless, been committed BY some
irresponsible recruiting agent, who, in his
zealous pursuit of a Csptaincy, has made
law and order subservient to bis am bitten.
The Government, we are sure, never ir-
tended that the negro should be thus out

seeks the Improvement Of bis condition.
We trust, therefore. this Dorchester coun-
