REGULARS FOR SACRAMENTO.
Three Thousand Strikers There Ready to
Resist Them.


Resist Them.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July To-
Colonel Graham, with three hundred
regulars from Preside, five gattng
guns. and two Hotchkiss guns. en-
barked on the ferry-steamer Alameda
this forenoon. and was taken 10
Mare Island. There the command was
increased 10y 800 marines. and all ware
loaded on two TiVer-steamers and started
10 Sacramento. When this news reached
Sacramento the strikers became VIVID.
There are now over 5000 strikers IN
Sacramento to resist the Federal and
State troops. Flushed with their victory
over the United States marshals ana
police on Tuesday last, and their com
plcte victory over more than a thousand
State militiamen the following day, they
are lust in the mood to resist the reSu-
lars tomorrow.
There were means of transportation
from Vallejo by trains, but as soon
as the strikers at South Vallejo heard
that the regulars were coming, they
KILLED" all of the engines, ditching one
and spiked the switches. blockading the
track.
BLUE-JACKETS FOR OAKLAND.
This afternoon the crews from the
Charleston, Monterey, Thetis Marion.
and Independence were landed at Mare
Island for riot drill. They comprise
about go men. and will leave for oak
land tonight.
In the face OF the general preparations
the strikers are making for resistance,
the attitude of the locomotive engineers
is attracting attention. Representatives
waited upon General Superintendent Fill
more and announced that they were
ready to return TO work at a moments
notice.
At all points in the State except Sac
ramento and Oakland. the situation has
turned against the strikers.

Tide Flowing Southwark.

We are glad to observe that many OF
our contemporaries are at last following
our example and directing the attention
OF their readers TO the great hopes which
the South now holds forth TO settlers In
this country. The cry OF go West"
has been kept up too long; 1t has been
oyerdone; and many people now there
are finding II difficult to make COM
Portable living. and In consequence are
thinking of migrating south. Southern
people, on the other hand. are quite con-
tented with their location and surround
ings, and have no desire to go West or
anywhere else.
Capitalists are also turning their atten-
ton to the South much more largely than
ever before. and, further, are combining
with the residents In duly advertising it.

do So The heavy investments which they
have made can only be developed and
rendered profitable by advertising. and
the South merits all the booming which
II can possibly receive. II was simply
because OF the manner In which the West
was advertised and doomed that the tide
OF immigration flowed westward for so
many years. making towns. cities and
