An Englishman, who gave his name as William
Thompson, was arrested in Sacramento, on
Wednesday, upon the strength OF bis own
declaration that he was one Of the
crew of the pirate Alabama. This admission
was made in a conversation in hotel u which
a Union man said Captain Semmes was a
coward. johnny Bull'' said that be had
sailed with Semmes in the Alabama, that be
was no coward, and that be would make the
man who said so 'eat his words" He soon
after disappeared from the house, but was
arrested, when be denied ever having said be
had sailed in the Alabama twas afterwards
ascertaiued that he had joined military com
pany at Camp Union aud it was suspicioned
that be may have been one Of the Hayes gang
of pirates at San Francisco, who had taken
this step to avoid detection. He was held for
examination.

session in row, aud inaugurate civil war
rom one end OF the country 10 the other, the
present rebellion merging itself in the newer
Ind more formidable-Jef Davis, Lee and
Bsauregard becoming alike Lieu,enants Of
Mcclellan! That some such movement was
anticipated BY Northern Copperheads is quite
probable. Mysterious assertions, 10 the effect
that Lincoln, if elected by the North, would
never be inaugurated were frequently made By
he supporters OF Mcclellan during the canvass,
hnd in the letter of the Copperhead delegate
10 the Chicago Convention from California,
Pohn S. Berry, published by the loyal press of
fbe State, this Southern programme was accu-
Fa,ely foreshadowed. Bat the scheme was
hwarted by the unanimity of the North. The
oyal triumph was overwhelming. Add to the
twenty one votes carried by Mcclellan the
Entire electoral strength of the States in rebel
lion, and Lincoln would be elected by majority
pf one hundred aud fourteen votes in the Elec-
koral College When the secret history of the
rebellion is written, we may learn something
Further OF this brilliant Southern failure.

LITTLE Macs "0FFICg The Washington
correspondent OF the Union takes the last crumb
of CoppeEhead consolation away. He writes ::
Tie Mcclellan newspapers have been copy
ing with avidity an item in the New York
Herald, stating that Mcclellan was TO have
the saperintendency Of the Morris and Essex
Railroad, a. salary OF $4,000 per annum.
Nobody stopped to think tha, the road is a
one horse affair, which has beginning at
Jersey Ci'y aud an ending at Hacketssown,
New Jersey-juSt sixty two miles away. and
uetS al income of about S2l 600 year. The
story was one Of the jokes Of the Satanic

Copperhead newspapers who desire to let their
