those that were turned back at Antistam and
Gettysburg. Lee 10 probably In command,
they say, having crippled Grant At Petersburg,
and left him there quite harmless. They are
very sorry for this state Of Affairs, OF course;

joics over . circumstance that, II IL were -

a. real national danger always does, consoli-
date the people and destroy faction. Every
time Southern army comes to the Potomac Il
strengthens the administration, because II sim

Foote VS.. Davis.

The following is an extract from the speech
Of Henry S. Foote against jeff. Davis, on
Wednesday, Dec. o:
To show the pertinacity of the President,
the Military Court directed to inquire into
the conduct of Pemberton was dispensed
with two days after it met, by the order OF
the President. When this man had surren-
dcred-dishonorably surrendcred-his COM
a,and to the enemy, the President made him
his companion, carried him with him to
Bracg's army; and, if the truth must be told,
many soldier said, as they rode along the
line: "There goes the traitor who delivered
us over at Yicksburg" Even then the Pres
ident had the temerity and unblushing disre-
gard for public sentiment, in bis own State,
and elsewhere, to offer to that Same Pember-
ton the command of Folks corps; and il he
had undertaken that duty he would have been
slain in the earliest hour OF battle, or even
before the battle, by the hands Of his own
men. will further add that, upon the pro-
position Of sending Longstreet into East
Tennessee, the President conculred with
Bragg, and that army was divided. Inferior
in numbers to the enemy, but inferior to none
in the world in valor, Bragg's army was left
against an overwhelming foe in front. By
this order the President did not leave more
than &c, 900 men under Bragg, while the enc
my numbered from 700 to l25,OOO. Be-
fore this force the most valiant and expe-
rienced soldiers Of any time or land, in
numbers like ours, must have been over
whelmed. What now does the President
say. Does he come forward boldly and gen
erously and say az am responsible for the
disaster" No! He charges them with want
of valor. I charge him not with want of
valor, but with want Of confidence in the
opinions of others, with gross mismanage-
ment, with contempt for the sentiment Of the
people OF the country. l told him twelve
months ago that unless Bragg was removed
Tennessee would be in the hands of the enc
my, and now my bleeding State attests the
truth Of my and the country's prediction.
The President never visited the army with
out doing it injury-never yet, that 1t has not
been followed by disaster. He was instru-
mental in the Gettysburg affair; he instruct.
ed Bragg at Murfreesboro, he has opened
Georgia to 1907 900 Of the enemy's troops, and
laid South Carolina liable to destruction. l
charge him with having almost ruined the
country, and win meet his champion any
where to DISGUST it. Would to God he may
never visit the army again: would to God he
had yielded to the public sentiment Of his
country; would to God he had been able to
appreciate the truth, that when confidence is
once lost BY the people in an officer it is sui
cidal to retain him.

CoSFIscATIoN.-Judge Underwood Of the
United States District Court Of Eastern Vir-
ginia, lately made an important decision in
which he held that the true construction OF
that section Of the Constitution relative to
corruption Of blood and forfeiture for treason
is, that forfeiture Of property cannot work af-
ter the death of the traitor, providing that
Judgment was not had against him, and for
the confiscation of his estates before death.
In other words, that the Constitution with
holds proceedings for treason against the
dead, whatever may have been their guilt in
lifetime; and this Is humane modification
Of the English law relating to treason,
whereby proceedings could be initiated for
forfeiture Of his estates, after the death OF
the traitor. The Court held that the Ian
guage Except during the lie Of the person
attainted," does not limit the forfeiture Of es-
tates merely so long as the traitor shall live ;
but that the estates pass absolutely and in
fee from the traitor to the Government.

OLD CALIPoRNIANs.-E. F. Burton, who
was formerly State Senator from Nevada
county, has returned from the East, where
he has been residing for some four years. 1t
is understood that his intention is to remain
on the Pacific coast. The Transcript says :
Burton has given us information relative to
some old Californians that may be Of inter-
est to our readers. He says Joe Mckibben
is one of the finest looking men in the army
and is an excellent officer. Harry Mighels
was lately on leave to recruit his health. He
was on the staff of General Sturgis, and has
a high reputation. McKibben saw Harry l.
Thornton after the battle Of Chickamauga
and had short chat with him. Harry is a
Major in the Confederate service. Phil.
Moore was seen somewhere between Rich
mond and Charleston by gentleman whom
Burton met. Phil. held some petty office,
was probably Sergeant. He was never on
the staff OF a Confederate General. DIR.
Dustin, formerly Of French Corral, was in
all the battles on the Peninsula. After his
promotion to the command Of regiment he
was transferred to the Army Of the Cumber-
land.

date for the Office of State Printer until
tscelus o'clock on the night after the Storey

until twelve o'clock trying to find out
how the Storey county delegation stood
on;this question; that he returned home
declaring that /" the Enterprise proprietors

upon this conclusion, the morning after

was placed in nomination for State Printer

patriotic ResoIntions.

In the Territorial House Of Representa-
tises yesterday, the following eoncurrent re-
solutions were adopted witfSoat dissentmg
voice.
ResoEced by the Council, the House Of Re
representatives. eoncurring:
/. That, under God, the highest allegiance
of the American citizen, whether in State or
Territory, rs due to the Federal Governments,
and that his first duty is to preserve the ma
tional safety, 10 defend the national unity,
and to protect the national honor.
2. That, growing with our growth, and
strengthening with our strength, is an unfal,
tering faith in the ability Of the General
Government TO crush out every trace OF DIS
loyalty in the rebellious States /; TO beat
down with the mailed arm of the Republic,
treason wherever it raises its head in den
ance; to maintain unbroken the boundaries
of its empire, and undisputed the supremacy
of its rule! To restore TO peace, harmony
and Union, a brave and wsr-worn people,
and rear the standard of its authority over
every foot Of the seeded South. ~
8. That we have an abiding confidence in
the ability, honesty and patriotism of Abra-
ham Lincoln, President Of the United States.
That we mdorse the great acts OF his admin
istration, and as the representatives OF the
people Of Nevada Territory, pledge our sup
port to all measures having for their object
the speedy suppression of rebellion and the
restoration Of peace.
4. That in common with the sentiment OF
every loyal American, we condemn and de-
precate the attempt of the Emperor OF
France to seize upon and destroy, without
excuse or justification, the government Of a
distracted neighboring Republic, and upon
the ruins of free system rear monarchy at
the very threshold Of the United States OF
the North and we most earnestly approve
the attitude of the Administration in its pro-
test against this unproyoked and cowardly
usurpation, and its manifest determination
to enforce m spirit and letter at the earliest
practicable moment, the cherished principles
of the Monroe doctrine.
| 5. That the rebellion is suggestion OF
Satan, and an inspiration from hell, and Is
at war with the hopes Of man, and the prom
Uses of God; that our hostility to treason,
whether North or South, whether in word
or in arms, is immutable and uncomPro-
missing, and our hope is that the sword OF
the Republic may not be sheathed until trea.
son kneels in submission, disarmed and de-

ton and defense the wealth OF our hills, the
strength of our arms, and the loyalty OF our
