A High Old Project.

One Of those gigantic conceptions which
only emanate from great minds, the simple
announcement of which is sufficient to
s,artle quiet people from their propriety-
cause the nervous to rattle in their boots,
and the timid one to " hunt their holes y
for safety, will, we understand. be launched
forth the present week by one OF our CO.
temporaries, soliciting q favorable response
from our citizens. The project is no less a
one than the segregating all that portion
of California lying east Of the summit OF
the Sierra Nevada mountains, and annex
ing the same to the State Of Nevada. The
argument that mountains form the most
natural boundaries for separating States,
will not be good logic in the present case,
unless carried to its legitimate and feasible
extent, which would embrace portions OF
the counties Of Ell Dorado, Alpine, Mono,
Tulare, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and
San Diego-a territory over four hundred
miles from North to South, and Of an av-
erage width Of sixty miles from West to
East-an extent of country sufficient to
form an empire in the Old World. We
are aware that we shall be told in the
future that we are wide Of the mark IN as
sorting that the scheme embraces all We
have set forth. We undoubtedly will DO
informed that the proposition only in
cludes the counties Of Alpine and Mono,
and tina, all South Of that line will be LEFT
in the cold embrace Of California. BY
way Of replication. we answer. that our
deductions are the legitimate conclusions
to be drawn from your premises. II the
summit" Of the Sierras be a natural
boundary, why not let 1t run to its leg't-
innate extent-San Diegos There IS but
one little difficulty that interyenes-the
sanction Of the Legislature OF California
for we understand that Nevada, like
Bsrkis, "is within" 1t is a very lament
able fact that. no great, good thing was
ever accomplished, without a correspond
ing personal sacrifice and this last great
one is no exception to the general, mex
orable rule 4; in confirmation Of which we
are forced to o that the brain Of

NO RELIGIOUS WAR PROPOSED

One of the secular newspapers expresses
great apprehensions lest religious war will
be inaugurated by the opposition to Roman
Catholic influence in the politics OF the
country. And It is very unjustly charged
that there is a disposition on the part of
some Protestant Journals to exclude Roman
Catholics from Office and the right of vo-
So far as we know the sentiments of the
most intensely Protestant people, and SO tar
as we have seen expressions of sentiment IN
the journals, the desire does not prevail in
any quarter to interfere in the slightest de-
gree with the rights AMI privileges of the
Roman Catholics. No proposal ofthe kind
has met our eye nor any action tending IN
that direction 1t is an accepted fact that
universal suffrage is the fundamental idea

Miss CLARA BARTON, Of Washington,
has hit upon an excellent device for bring
ing to the knowledge of friends the fate or
whereabouts of missing soldiers. Some
weeks ago she published an invitation to the
public to send to her address, in Washing
ton, description of missing soldiers, giving
the name, regiment, company, and the State
to which they respectively belong In res
ponse, she has alreads received such de-
scriptons Of some thousands. Roll No. l
is a large sheet, containing, we believe,
about fifteen hundred names of missing
prisoners of war, Twenty thousand copies
of this ron have been printed and circula-
ted all through the loyal States, and among
the camps; and she now calls upon soldiers
and others who can give information con-
5eerning the missing men to Wrlte to her Inn
meHately. Great care should be taken to
write the name and address in every instance
plainly. Her rplan is highly appreciatedand
approved by lhe War Department and by
the President. All letters must be directed
to Miss Clara Barton Washington, D.G.
