OF Texas, which he had made his by
adoption.
When, therefore, there came to San
Francisco the news that Texas had Join
ed the Confederacy he felt that he
could no longer hold his commission un-
der the United States and at once wrote
his resignation.
He still hoped, however, that war
might be averted, and it was not until
ne learned both of the acceptance of
his resignation and of the firing on
Sumter, news that took more than
month to come to him. that he prepared
TO leave California and join the Confed-

AS DEPARTMENT COMMANDER
General Johnston had taken command
OF the department of California about
the middle of January, when the seces-
sion movement was already well under
way, and the months during which he
ED the position saw it's rapid develop
Inent.
Although the majority of Callfornians
we're hostile TO secession, there were
many southerners In the state, and
nth the large element OF lestless and
evolutionary men on the coast il was
quite possible that, IL they imagined
they could have the assistance or even
he tacit approval OF the military COM
mander, they would make an effort 10
take the state out OF the union and sci
I'D a pacific republic.
But General Johnston was not q man

asked to sound him as to his willing
ness 20 cooperate in such an attempt
but when the time came to ask the
question he dared not do IL, knowing
TOO well what would be his reception.
He told me of his own accord" said
this friend that as long as he held his
commission he would maintain the au-
thority of the United States to the last
extremity, and we knew he would do it,
Informed by Republicans of the plot
General Johnston quietly proceeded TO
remove several thousand stands of arms
from the arsenal at Benicia. where they
were exposed TO capture, and placed
them in Alcatraz. the island fortress
commanding San Francisco bay, which
was virtually impregnable. He then no
tined the governor, John G. Downey,
that these arms were at the disposal OF
the state militia to suppress any out
break or uprising, and took other meas
ures to insure peace.
His resignation he had sent April 10
by pony express to Washington. where
IL did not arrive until May-for the rail-
road, like the telegraph, had not yet pen
etrated to the Pacific-but, because he
feared the news of II might produce
harmful results in California. he kept
his action and purpose a profound se-

supersede Johnston, and arrived at San

IFS Up to You

Prescott Suffers the absence of live commercial club and We as whole deplore this state of affairs. Yet the one who could take hold and stir things up does not. Yet in the absence of such a body of men, each and every citizen could spare a moment or two of his time to take visitor to the city around and show him what Prescott really is. How many visitors have you taken to the office of Moore and Martin and shown that agriculture exhi- bit on display there? How many energetic business men who are boosters for Prescott have you introduced that stranger to? How many letters have you sent out of Prescott that failed to mention the resources of Nevada County?
 All these things tend to build a city, and build it quickly. If you are complaining of not being kept sufficiently busy waiting on and selling goods to new arrivals in Nevada County, then get to work and do your part toward indUc- ing people to come, put in new in dustrieS, till the soil etc. Be booster, all for Prescott.
