LESSON WELL READ.
When the Eleventh District mission Do
lores) Union Club turned out on Saturday
evening to come down to the city to Join in
the Union process, Martin Mulcahey, well
defined Copperhead, ran his express team
through their ranks-expressly to create a
riot-ran over man, and made off at full
speed. When the main procession was pass
ing through Washington and Montgomery
streets, half dozen incendiary fires were
started, and Engine No. 10, in charge Of q
notorious secesh named Henry Grady 1.-THE
foreman being in the ranks of the process
sionl, was run down Kearney street, from
Pacific to Washington, into the procession at
that point; down Washington at full speed
to Montgomery, and then, instead Of keeping
along Washington street toward the city
front, turned into Montgomery street, among
thousands Of men, women and children, and
continued on at full speed, at the imminent
risk Of the lives of everybody in the way, to
near Clay street, where Chief Burke and
others, with the greatest difficulty, succeeded
in stopping them and arrested Grady while
he was in the act Of endeavoring to drive
through the procession, and had gone so far
as to: raise his trumpet to knock the Chief of
his horse, but was deferred BY the presenta-
ton of cooked pistol at his head by the
Chief, with the dead certainty that his brains
would be scattered over the pavement in an
instant more if he did not surrender. Judge
Shepherd, this morning, read these men a
lesson in the shape Of fine of $500 on Null
cahey, and $500 on Grady, with the alterna-
tive Of working it out in the chain gang.
OF DOUBTFUL POLICY.
A strong effort is being made by some in
discreet zealots to induce General Mcdowell
to consent to the raising Of regiment Of
negro volunteers on this coast: but l doubt
their success, as the General views the mat
ter in the same light as u majority of our
common-sense business men would do il in
his place. We are getting the very best class
Of white volunteers now as rapidly as desir-
able, and to put the Federal Uniform on the
backs Of negroes and send them strutting
| around our streets, would be the most effect
i've means which could be devised to put an
end to this class Of volunteering. ! know
that at the East the effect has been different,
but then there was an Imperative necessity for
more men than could be obtained, save BY
drafting, and it was worth while making the
loy nj faefI EOhK sof
the negroes. To this, under the circum-
stances, no valid objection could. be urged,
although the practical results are still open to
doubt; but here the case is far different, aud
it seems to me that to commence enlisting
negroes would lower the standard Of the SER
vice to the lowest point at once, and necessi-
tate speedy resort to drafting to fill up the
ranks ofthe white regiments now being filled
| BY volunteering. 1t is true that the Govern
ment has sent a considerable number of re-
Gently feed negroes from the South to fill up
| the vacancies III the muster roll of the war
vessels on the Pacific coast, but that course
was taken only when it was found that it was
absolutely impossible to get white sailors to
enlist, and under any circumstances it will
hardly be contended that our noble volun-
teers, the sons Of the best families in Cali
fornia, are to be ranked on par with the
mongrel crowd which in all times makes up
the bulk Of the common seamen on board Of
man-of-war in any country on the globe.

noticed John W. Tucker, the great Jew.
elry, watch and silver.ware dealer, OF San
Francisco, whose disastrous failure through
mining stock operations, was mentioned in
my correspondence some months since, back
behind the counter in his old place on Mont.
gomery street yesterday. He is only acting
as salesman at present, but am told thai
his affairs are in fair way for ultimate ad.
justnhent, and in common with the business
community Of San Francisco generally,
hope soon to see him again running the ma.
chine on his own hook. He has been one Of
the most enterprising and public spirited OIL
all our business men, and San Francisco
cannot afford to 10 ose even one such.
