FROM CALIFORNIA.
Denial that Napoleon has Withdrawn
from the sonora scheme. r

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-The Democrat, of
this city, which affects to be well informed
concerning the plans and movements of DR..
Gwin, denies emphatically, on the authority of
his agents, that the Emperor Napoleon has
withdrawn from the Sonora consolidation
scheme, as was intimated by eastern dispatch.
es. 1t says: From sources of information
which we deem reliable, we have abundant as.
surance that there has been no change in the
plans of the French Emperor recently, while
the cause Of the Mexican empire is advancing
as rapidly as could be reasonably expected.
When the steamer John L. Stephens left Ma
zatlan there were several thousand French
troops there. .-
Advices had been received that Marshal Ba.
zine, with the main portion of his family, was
on hss way to MazaSan, and might be expect
ed there in few days, accompanied by DR..
Gwin. 1t is barely possible that DR.. Gwin did
not sail for Europe at later date than the
news wei have received from the city of Mexi-
CO direct: but, if such is the fact, his visit has
no reference to change of plans, as it is not
in contemplation to take possession of Arispe,
the future capitol Of the northern states before
the first Of May. 1t is not intended to make
the states over which Mr.. Gwin will have con-
troll portion of the French empire or French
colony. Paramount authority is to reside in
the Emperor of Mexico, while the territory is
held In trust for the payment of the French
debt, and is to be defended by French armies.

A Joke by III. G.

Horace Greeley was in town when Nor
gans name was sent to the Treasury De-
partment and then suddenly withdrawn.
Next day he was the centre of one of the
groups of politicians that always surround
him whenever be appears in the capitol,
when Nicolay, the Presidents Private
Secretary came up. 81 see you have
trouble in making Secretary" said some
one to him, and the difficulty of finding
the right man for so responsible a place
was discussed. Suddenly Greeley looked
up, with that wonderfully innocent man
ner, in which he always says his best
things. "Ill tell you whom to appoint
Secretary of the Treasury" "Whom +"
all exclaimed. "Our old New York poll
tclan, now Nevada Senator, Jim Ney, of
course! He is the best man at borrow
ing, and troubles himself about payday
the least of any man in the United States. -

John C.. Heenan.

A brother of John O. Heenan, the re-
doubtable prize-fghter and Benicia Boy,
is at present on visit to st. Louis. He
informs the Dispatch of that city that his
"big brother John G. is now in the south
OF France. He recovered somewhat from
the effects of the poison administered to
him before the fight with Tom King, mar
rled an interesting English girl, and settled
down TO enjoy the snug sum of Ell, 900
($1S5, 900 in golO, which he had accumu-
lated before his last fight. But bis love
for racing and sporting got the better of
him, and be bought seven race horses. and
attended the different race courses in the
United Kingdom. The excitement and
high living brought on relapse, and BY
the advice of bis physicians he visited the
south OF France, and has concluded to re-
main there. John @. is but the shadow of

Gen. Grants Private Views,

The Quincy Herald publishes an extract
from q private letter written by Lieut..
Gen. GRANT to his old friend and school
fellow, the Hon. ISAAC N. NORRIS. .,~
The letter is dated Headquarters Ar
mics of the United States, City Point, Va,
Feb. 18th, 1885," and was written, not
dictated, by Gen. GRANT himself. The
following is the extract, which will be read
with interest: s| f.aa ..g.~
Everything looks to me very favorable for q
speedy termination of the war. The people of
the South are ready for it if they can get clear
of their leaders. 1t is hard to predict what
will become OF them, the leaders, whether they
will flee the country or whether the people
will forcibly depose them and take the matter
in their own hands. One OF the other will
likely occur if our spring campaign is as sue
cessful as have every hope it will be.
Yours truly, U. 8. GRANT

a sagacious husband will take charge of the
first, and leaves the second entirely with his
wife. Never place temptation in the way of

The Struggle to Come.

The Phladelpbia Press, in an article on
the war, makes the following remarks:
All our bloodless victories of late are the pre-
liminaries Of tremendous struggle. Not one
battle, nor two, will decide the contest in the
great spring campaign. The enemy aban.
dons whole States to concentrste in one. He
gives up city after city to unite his scat
tered forces and give battle on colossal scale
with the legions that are gathering around
his central position. Outnumbered as he
will be, with his communications cut of, and
in danger unknown before, Lee will still have
the power to make desperate and bloody fights,
aud if the easy.going strategists on paper un.
dervalue the fighting powers of his ragged
troops, the Army of the Potomac does not
Grant does not. Sherman does not In the
contest that is to be almost daily expected, it
will be surprising If we win an immediate VIC
tory. Expectation of a series of fierce battles,
some favorable to us, some to the enemy, is
justified by experience. 1t Is enough that the
commanding position we have won, and our
numerical superiority make it probable that q
grand victory over the entire rebellion will be
the result of the campaign. .s.. TO-

Miss ANNA DICKINSON, the originally
amiable and angelic young lady whom the
corrupt Republican politicians have been
laboring for several years past to demoral-
ize and train into ferocious termagant of
the genus politico-rabid, has lately given
indications of purpose to reform-to turn
aside from the error of her ways and seek
to regain her former position and do good
among her own sex. 1t gives us great
pleasure to note this fact, making earthly
application of the higher principle that
there should be more joy over one sinner
returning to repentance than in the case of
a numerous body of the Just who have not
fallen from grace.
The following touching narrative of a
too common case in our social life was
given by Miss DICKINSON in lecture upon
"Womans Rights and Dangers, delivered
in Brooklyn:

A squad of deserters who came over
on Thursday night were fired upon furi-
ously, but, strange to tell, not a man of
them was injured. After they reached q
place Of safety, some of our men inquired
how it was that they all escaped. "Oh,"
said the spokesmen of the party, "them
fellers fred too high to hit us!" eyes,
yes" returned the picket officer, "but why
did they fire so high ?" cob! why, don't
you know ?" answered the rebel, "well,
it's because they are coming over them
selves tomorrow night" Another lot of
ffty-three deserters, from South Carolina
regiment, came in Thursday night, report
ed themselves as "peace commissioners. {"
They said that as Messrs. Stephens, Hunter
and Campbell had failed to make terms
with the Administration and bring them
back into the Union, they concluded to
come over themselves and see what they
could accomplish in that line. One of this
number declared that they had gone into
this war to "put down the heresy that a
negro is as good as white man :" but as
that doctrine was now apparently about to
U0 ooOPoeu dt Guo OOutu, duu INC negroes
were to be placed in the ranks there and
made their equals, they wished to go North
where there were fewer of such equals to
be found. The Introduction of negro SOL
diers into the Southern army is represented
as being exceedingly distasteful to the
white men, and likely to make desertions
tar more numerous than ever. .-
The number of deserters reported at ar
my headquarters, In the last twenty -four
hours, is one hundred and eleven. This
makes an aggregate of over three hundred
in three days, on this side the Appomat-
tox, and two hundred on the north side.
Those received here generally hail from
South Carolina and Georgia. Many OF
them bring their arms with them, and the
cavalry, in some instances, horses and
equipments. Yesterday morning one OF
their teamsters came in on our left, and
brought his team of six mules and wagon.
He sold the wagon and mules to the Quar-
termasters Department. Among the de-
serters are several commissioned officers,
but these generally conceal the fact of
their rank, and report themselves as pri.

THE FALL OF WILMINGTON.
Scenes I'm the City


The special correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Inquirer describes the occupation
of Wilmington as follows: 3' - "'.s
In the suburbs of the city Major General
Terry was met by Wilmington policeman,
carrying white flag, who informed the Cen
eral that he was authorized to surrender the
the Mayor. General Terry referred the truce
bearer to Major General Schofeld who was
then entering the city. Gen. Schofield rode to
the City Hall, where he was waited on by the
Mayor and some of the City Fathers. ~
VI course they were ready and willing to
give up all their municipal functions. General
schofield told them to continue in the exercise
OF their powers for the good of the city. That
1t was not his intention to interfere with the
CIVIL government more than could be avoided.
But that he expected the inhabitants to con.
duct themselves as becoming citizens of the
United States. To respect the representatives
and defenders of the national government, to
abide by its laws, and not give aid and comfort
to its enemies. =. .. - - - -
The Mayor, John Dorsou, ESQ.,, himself a
Union man, assured the General that to the
best OF his knowledge the majority of the in
habitants were loyal and Union loving. -
Zen. Schofield appointed o temporary pro-
vost marshal, and guards were at once stationed
through the city to preserve order and prevent
6Xc6SSeS.
Gen. Cox's troops are rapidly arriving. and
to them is assigned the duty of keeping watch
and ward over our newly occupied city. ''''
Full military brass bands are discoursing the
national airs in the midst of admiring crowds
of Wimingtonians. The streets literally swarm
with colored people. Mayor Dorson informs
me that, for the past six days, not negro was
to be seen. They suspected the rebel evacua.
ton and hid thmseleves to avoid being carried
OF and made to serve In the enslaving army.
The rebels during their evacuation commit
ted many acts of violence and lawlessness.
