BPS. GOLD HILL NEws-Gentiem,sn:-
j am little "off color " again this week, as
Il were; there has been too many Richmondt
and things in the field, and l really believe
that if the rebel capital should fall many
more times aud Lees Miserables continue
surendering for any length Of time, should
get into habit Of falling myself, and should
come at last to surrender myself, not exactly
at discretion but to indiscretion, and become
as loose in conduct and reckless in manners,
as regardless Of the decencies and amenities
of life, as ward politician or professional
patriot. Regular celebrations are all well
enough, my boy, but It is these impromPtu,
unexpected and irregular demon STATIONS
which take, the starch out Of fellow and
unfit him for the steady business OF life. l
am not anxious to have peace as long a.
rebel army is in the field or rebel city holds
out in defiance to the laws Of the Union, but
out Of consideration for my strength, as the
good Of my onstitution-which 10 not quite
equal to the Constitution Of the United
|States-I would like to have the work hur.
|ried up and the agony over as soon as posi-
|ble. II the rate the war is now going on,
I'VE shall soon have but two branches Of pro-
|ductive industry in active operation in the
United States, viz: manufactures Of wooden
legs and champagne.
DEAD FAILURE.
The great Mexican Colonization Scheme,
|of which so much was said few months
|since-so far as California at least is con-
|cened-is already n total failure. The few
|deluded mortals who went down to Mexico to
escape a tyranical Government like ours, and
settle down in the quiet cultivation of cotton
and watermelons, under the "mild, equable
and beue6cent" rule Of Emp. Max. the !, .
find themselves fooled in the worst possible
manner, and the reports they are now send
ling home are anything but encouraging to
those who had made up their minds to
abandon our plGyed-om country to its fate,
and cast their fortunes with the usurping
Empire. The passport order capped the
climax" and let out the best hope Of pro
curing gulls in California or the Atlantic
States for his Imperial Majesty Maximillian,
to recruit his armies from and levy taxes
upon, and "Major Ridge, Accredited Agent
|Of the Duke Of Sonora, Viceroy and Governor
|of Northern Mexico, under His Highness,
the Emperor Maximillian, and the Emperor
Napoleon III, packed his traps and went OF
TO Europe on the last steamer, in disgust.
We can well spare him, and all like him.
WILL 1T BE ALLOWED?
The telegraph has already told you that
the first-class steam frigate La Victoire flag.
ship, Of the French squadron in the Pacific,
arrived last week at Santa Barbara, towing
the disabled transport steamer Rhin, on their
way to this port. They have not yet arrived,
but are expected daily, and when here, it l..
|coolly proposed that the Rim shall 20 into
|the Government dry-dock, at Mare Island,
flor repairs, and the Vietoire receive such re-
pairs and supplies as she may require. Now
these vessels were injured while prosecuting
an upprovoked war Of aggression on nation
with whom we are at peace, and under any
it would seem that we were
acting in bad faith to allow them TO retit for
further operations in our Government ship
yard. But that is not all. We have seized
Everything in the shape OF arms and
ammunition which the Republicans Of
Mexico were constantly endeavoring 10 ship
TO enable them to revisit aggression, and as
liz that was not reason enough, our war YES

over twenty.four hours in a French port,

out for the destruction OF our commerce and
the murder Of our people by our neutral cous-
Inns and dear friends across the water. In spite

assistance asked will be received, but it makes
the blood Of our Americans boil to thin that
such things must be. Well, thank God, it is
but for time! Our war is nearly over, and
it will be our next deal. Since the fall Of
Richmond, have heard but one expression
OF sentiment on the Mexican question, and
that sentiment is BY the kind that would
heartily endorse and back up with bayonets
and bullets, note after this style:

THE INQUEST on o'BYRNE.
Oh burn the o'Byrne inquest! Its a bore

distant land with him. He called some wit
'nesses to-day for his defence, but got instead
of whithwash, a coat Of paint which will sticl

and the court then adjourned to the 18th inst
when the farce will 20 on again as usual. An
attempt made yesterday to raise false issue
and make it appear that he is "wictim,
