JRPP. Taxes TO PRAYNd.-lt seems
that the chief conspitator is losing conf
dence in saltpeter, and is about to invoke
a new element to his aid. He has APP
pointed Friday, the tenth Of March, as a
day Of public BLASTING, humiliation, prayer
and thanksgiving" and earnestly invites
his friends to observe the same. There is
evidently no necessity for his setting apart
any particular day for humiliation and
fasting, for all days in the week seem to
answer that purpose very well with the
contederates. And as to praying, we
doubt very much whether the rebels can
bring influence enough to bear on the
Almighty, at this stage of the game, to in
duce Him to change his purposes, and
evident intentions to scourge the traitors
back into the Union, or mete out to them
unqualified humiliation. We advise JEFF.
to resort to some other expedient, If he
would retrieve his waning fortunes.
Probably he does not consider that in the
matter Of q contest Of prayer with the
loyal, determined North, he will Of neces-
atty come off second best. We can eer-
tsinly pray as earnestly as he can be-
sides, We have the heaviest cannon and
most msn on our aide. --S01 Jose AereHry:

THE LAW OF NATIONS.

General Dix's order, it is generally con-
ceded, is strictly according to international
law. This is admitted by the Toronto
Globe, the leading Canadian paper. 1t
saws if these raids continue, the Canadian
people not only render it probable that
Canada may be invaded by United States
troops, but they will actually give the
United States the right so to do. ltgives
as authorities for this statement the opin-
ions of Phillimore and Vattell:
"a rebellion or a civil connection, 1t
may happen, agitates a nation: while the
authorities are engaged in REFRESHING it,
bands Of rebels pass the frontier to shelter
themselves under the protection of the
conterminous State, and from thence, with
restored strength and fresh appliances,
renew their invasion upon the State from
which they have escaped. The invaded
State demonstrates. The remonstrance,
whether from favor to rebels, or feebleness
of the executive, is unheeded, or, at least,
the evils complained of remains unredress-
ed. In this state of things the invaded
State is warranted by International law IN
crossing the frontier, and in taking the
necessary means for her safety, whether
these be the capture or dispersion of the
rebels, or the destruction of their strong
hold, as the exigencies Of the case may
require"
Vattell says:
at is certain that if my neighbor affords
a refuge to my enemies, time
to recruit themselves and the chance to
watch for an opportunity to make new
irruption into my territory, conduct so
preiudicial to my safety will be incompati-
Bile with neutrality. When. then, my
beaten enemies retire to his dominions
he must not allow them to lie
in wait to attack anew otherwise he gives
me the right to go and seek them in his
territory"

How to bring Down Gold and High
Prices.

Financiers IN Congress and out Of Con-
gress, and in every variety of remedial
measures through the public press, con-
tinue their philanthropic labors in behalf
of the Treasury, the national credit and
the national currency. There is no end
to the financial reforms presented, which
if adopted would bring down gold to its
legitimate value in "Greenbacks," and
bring down the prices of provisions, coal,
dry goods, &c., to reasonable and perma-
nent rates. But the one thing needed to
secure these most desirable results is still
the suppression of the rebellion. The re-
cent grandly successful accomplishment OF
Sherman's important expedition through
the heart of Georgia to Savannah and the
seacoast; the crushing defeats administer
ed by General Thomas to Hoods army in
Tennessee, and the arrival at Beaufort, N.
c., of the great expedition of land and
naval forces under General Butler and
Admiral Porter destined for Wilmington,
are events which have staggered the gold
jobbers, and keep them staggering, in spite
of all their powerful combinations to "bull
the market" Let us have the final VIC
tory over jeff. Davis in the capture of
Richmond, and there will be fall in gold
and decline in the prices of all the essen
tials and luxuries of life. and in all the
raw materials of manufacturers, and in
labor, and in everything, which will as
tonish the wisest financiers in Wall street
or Washington.
The overthrow of Jeff Davis and his
topping Confederacy, in reducing the ex-
penditures of the Treasury from thousand
millions to less than five hundred millions
year, will SO far simplify the duties en-
joined upon the Department, and SO far
relieve the pressure upon the national
credit, as to bring down gold, prices and
taxes, and to widen the area of our ma
tional currency and the channels Of trade,
including Southern cotton, sugar, tobacco
&c., that men will wonder how it was that
gold could have been carried or kept 80
long above two hundred in New York, or
that butter here, in December, 1864, was
sold at seventy-fve cents per pound. The
suppression of the rebellion is the sure
and only remedy for our financial embar-
easements, and now that Gen. Grant has
the monster fairly within his grasp, We
have every reason to believe that it will
be strangled before his hold is relaxed.
We expect that neither the army nor the
navy will go into winter quarters now
short of the full accomplishment of the
work still before them. Then we shall
have great and permanent fall in gold,
and in the prices of everything regulated
by the fluctuations of the gold market.
Let tina people wait in patience yet little
longer, for now we know that the end Of
our hard times and high prices is near at
hand.-LeSlie's Weekly. ..t ....

FxrRAoRp1sARy Foa.-The preser

EXTRAORDINARY Foe.-The present
winter, says the San Francisco Medical
Press, will be remembered for its fogs,
which have prefailed in Oregon and Cali
fornia, in the latter part Of December and
during January. On the oath of the for
mer month there was the thickest fog ever
seen by the inhabitants of San Francisco,
here or elsewhere. It occurred early in
the forenoon, and was so dense as COM
pletely to conceal from sight objects thirty
feet distant. Standing on the sidewalks
of the narrowest streets, not the faintest
trace Of the buildings on the opposite side
could be discerned. Pedestrians stood on
the sidewalks, afraid to venture across,
on account of the carriages which they
could hear as they passed, without being
able to catch the least glimpse of them.
This condition of things lasted about half
an hour.

THE LEGISLATURES.

The Senate did not do much yesterday
bn. there was lively time in the House,
in which John Church, as Senior editor OF
the Union, and John Church as State
Printer, occupied more of certain kina Oh
attention than was pleasant for orotner
John in either character. Messrs. B'shop'
Cu,ter Smith, Bond. Rigby and the ire
n-ass;ble Bien all rose to question OF
privilege, and if there ever was man most
essentially and emphatically damned 1t
was our neighbor Church, After they
had lie. up on him as editor of the Union,
they went after him as State Printer.
Bond intimated that John was not honest,
and introduced a resolution. THAT a
committee of five, composed of three from
the House and two from the Senate, be
appointed BY the presiding officers OF the
two bodies, respectively, whose duty it
shall be to make a thorough investigation
into the State Printing" lis unnecessary
10 state that that resolution was adopted
unanimously; and the committee appointed
forthwith. Look out for squalls.
The dead-broke" condition of the
legislature, demands that something be
done for their relief. They have been IN
session about eight weeks, and have not
vet received dollar. We are informed
that the shavers about Carson are spong-
ing them at the rate of ten per cent per
month on their skeleton scrip. To help
the matter if possible, Mr.. Cutter offered
the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, We are credibly informed that
the Bank Of California has offered to take
the Bonds of this State at the maximum rate
of interest allowed, and that the Pacific in
surance Company has offered to take $50, 600
of said bonds at the same rate and
WHEREAS, We are also informed that his
Excellency, the Governor, actuated by
commendable desire to secure better terms
for the State, has refused to negotiate the
said bonds on the basis of the said PROPOSE
tons; and
WHEREAS, By the said refusal we are COM
PEELED to sell our scrip for the extremely
moderate compensation allowed US BY the
Constitution at heavy discount; and
WHEREAS, 1t is evident that moneyed men
have formed such a combination as will ef-
fectually prevent the disposal Of the bonds at
any less rate than the above specified, and
that further delay in their negotiation will be
productive Of no benefit to the State, but only
entail serious loss upon ourselves; there
fore be II
Resolved, BY the Assembly and Senate,
That II is the opinion of the two Houses that
the State Bonds, or such portion of them as
may be sufficient to pay the expenses Of the
Legislature and the compensation Of State
officers, should be at once negotiated at the
maximum rate of interest allowed in the
Bond Act. ...
Resolved, That the Clerk Of the House be
and he is hereby directed to transmit a copy
of these resolutions to his Excelleney the
Governor.
Adopted unanimously.

MILITARY Power OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Germany can keep aaoat 1000, 900 Of
soldiers /; France, 100000 !, Italy, 100000;
Russia, 100000; even Spain, $4,000;
while England knows not where to turn
for recruits and sailors. Says an English
journal
1t is a fact that our ships in. commission
cannot put to sea for want of hands. Our
Prime Minister has openly proclaimed that
we cannot cope with other nations, or
dictate Of policy in Europe, because we
have not soldiers wherewith to carry on
war. Denmark, Lord Palmerston used
no concealment in admitting, could rely
on no other than our moral influence,
because we could not pretend to send into
the field an army fit to compare muster
rolls with Austria and Prussia. We could
not keep up contingent Of so, 900 men in
the Crimea without ransacking Europe
and America for mercenaries. India
drains us of 10000 recruits year; and
the commandment .chief recently issued
detailed instructions to our recruiting staff
TO put forth all the allurements Of the
camp, and all the devices of the kidnap-
per, in order to hocus heroes into our
regiments Of the line, on the ground of
the extreme difficulty experienced in main
tanning the effective strength Of an army
OF only 100000 rank and file.
