STATE NEws.-The following items are taken
from the San Francisco dispatch of the Union
of last Saturday


A strong rumor is out that news received by
telegraph from New York warrants the arrest of
several prominent citizens of this State, who
are avowed sympathizers with tebellion that
they are implicated in reasonable designs by
some papers found in the possession of ex Senator
Gwin which he neglected to-dispose of before bis
trunks were placed under seal by General Sum-
ner. Itis stated tonight that the United States
Marshal has list of the names and is preparing
the necessary documents to take the parties into
custody. If the rumor be true some who have
taken passage on the steamer tomorrow will not
go.


Gen. Wright publishes his circular this evening,
desiring that preference be given to keepers
who have subscribed to the National Loan in all
purchases for the public service.


From the San Francisco dispatch of Monday:


Senator Stark of Oregon, before he left on the
steamer yesterday indignantly disclamed that
he was sympathizer with the rebellion. He
avowed his determination to act with the dele
gates from this coast in all matters affecting the
interest of the Union


The subscriptions to the National Loan in this
city amount to about 100000.

redress which, they proposed several amend
ments to the Constitution. la


The chief, and only substantial grievance
was, that they had lost power in the Un-
ion, and could no longer exert any positive
influence in the General Government.


Massachusetts was then the champion of
State interposition against Federal author.
ity, having practically adopted the Virgin
ian doctrine. which her legislature had so
severely condemned fifteen years before.


In vain had Massachusetts opposed the
encouragement of foreign immigration, the
easy naturalization of foreigners the &C.
QUESTION of new territory, and the creation
and admission of new States. The pre>
ponderance of adverse power was constants
ly increasing, and the only apparent redress
remaining, was an amendment of the consti-
tuition or separation. The Hartford Con.
vention did not, however, propose the lat
ter extremity, but an united effort on the
part of the New England States to secure
amendments to the constitution, which
would tend to a restoration of the old
balance of power among the States. There
is no doubt of the fact that at one tire the
New England politicians intended, in the
event of failure to amend the constitution,
to attempt 10 withdraw their section from
the Union. The Indulgence in this great
crime and folly required, however, hotter
blood than could be found in New England,
Only Southern climate could have pro.
duced actual rebellion on large scale ;
but such a rebellion has been necessary to
instruct the American people in the science
of government, and to prove to the world,
that, with all its apparent weakness and di-
versity, our Union is an absolute necessity.
and our form of government the most stable
in the world; that Union is peace; Dis

SrADRED.-SupurVisor d. Kane-whose Of

non-residence-was severely stabbed by an
old partner of his in the saw mill business,

the breast, and a severe thrust in the region
of the liver Mr.. Kane is of Irish descent,

many other young men of ordinary talent,
he has been ruined by bad associates and poll

 honor. as their own-nor need we say to you, fellow-citizens of Pulaski county, that we of the South are one people, possessing a common property, identical in our feel ings, our ends, our government and our so- cial institutions; that we depend mutually one upon the other, and that like the fabled bundle of sticks, when all banded together no power could break them, but separated, they became the prey even of child.

 Now, fellowe citizens lof Pulaski county, we know you will be warned of the evils of a dissolution of the Union--the dangers and the cost, consequent to ssch movement, by class of moderate men who think better of the North than they deserve; this is mere scare crow thrown in your way to deter you from forsaking the wrong and pursuing the right. Turn deaf ear to these prophets ot evil. Do not allow the idea of fdanger and cost to be thrown into the scale against your rights, your honor and your safety The horrors of bloody war will be portrayed in words glowing with eloquence before you; but that Is not question for brave and chiv- alrous people to consider The danger is non-action and delay. You must brave all, bear all, but never submit to be ruled by black republican administration; and God will protect you in the right.

 To those who do not own slaves but reside among us, we would, besides referring you to the letter of Mir. Walker to Forney, above quoted, say that your freedom and your happiness will be forever lost whenever you submit to black republican 1ule.- Under the system of government and the rules of society in the southern States, you are the equals, both socially and politi- cally, of any and all, without regard to wealth or distinction as to place or position, Here you can set under your own vine and fig tree and no one dare make you afraid. Not so in the northern States; the rich are naughty and domineering, whilst the poor man IS In comparative state of servilty to him. Mir. Lincoln believes that all men, negroes and whitemen, are politically socially and morally equal He has so stated his belief, and to this doctrine he stands committed to this day. Hence, it Is evident that if he has his way, and you submit to his rule you are to be placed on an equality with the negro race; this has already been done in many of the States which voted for Mr. Lincoln for President of these United States. Are you prepared then to have negroes vote in your elections, set on your juries, admit their testimony in your courts, represent you in your legisla- lures, marry your daughters, and in all things be the equals of yourselves and families? We know you would scorn such a state of things; and yet such is the condition to which submission to black re- publican rule inevitably leads. We would say to you now in conclusion, our country men, eff you have nature in you bear it not" Most respectfully,

 your fellow citizens,

The following resolutions finally passed the legislature of this State on Friday before last:

 Resolved dy he General Assembly of Me Slate of Tennessee, That this general as. sembly has heard with profound regret of the resolutions recently adopted by the State of New York, tendering men and money to the President of the United States, to be used in coercing certain sov- ereign States of the South into obedience to the federal government.

 Resotped, That this general assembly re- ceives the action of the legislature of New York as the indication of purpose upon the part of the people of that State to fur ther compicate existing difficulties, by fcrcing the people of the South to the ex- tremity of submission or resistance, and so regarding it, the Governor of the State of Tennessee is hereby requested to inform the Executive of the State of New York, that it is the opinion of this general assem- ply that whenever the authorities of that State shall send armed forces to the South for the purpose indicated in said resolutions, the people of Tennessee, uniting with their brethren of the South, will, as one man, resist such invasion of the soil of the South at all hazards and to the last extremity.

A CHINESE LEGEND.-There is a Chinese
legend to the effect that in the third century a
pious hermit, who in his watchings and prayers,
had been overtaken by sleep 50 that his eyelids
closed; in holy wrath against the weakness Of
the flesh he cut them off and threw them on the
ground. But god caused tea shrub to
spring out Of them, the leaves Of which exhibit
the form Of an eyelid bordcred with lashes,
and possess the power Of hindering sleep.

THouGHTs FOR YOUNG MEN-Costly appa-
ratus and splendid cabinets have no magical
power to make scholars In all circumstances,
as a man is, under God, the master of his own
fortune, so is he the maker of his own mind.
The Creator has so constituted the human in
tellect that it can grow only 6y its own ac-
tion, and by its own action it must certainly
and necessarily grow. Every man must
therefore in an importont sense, educate him
self His books and teachers are but helps
the work is his. A man is not educated nm
til he Inns the ability to summon, in case of
emergency, all his mental power in vigorous
exercise to effect his proposed object. 1t is
not the man who has seen most or who has
read most, who can do this such an one is in
danger of being borne down, like beast OF
burden, by an overloaded mass Of other mems
thoughts Nor is it the man that can boast
merely of native vigor and capacity The
greatest of all warriors that went TO the
siege of Troy, had not the pre- eminence, be-
cause nature haG given him strength, and he
carried the largest bow, but because self
discipline had taught him how to use it.

IHE FBAG OF THE FREE.-Hon. Edward
Stanly opened his speech at the Union Meet
ing at San Francisco, with the observation
that the American flag was floating in the
breeze on every hand, and broke forth into
the apostrophe of the poet:
Flag of the free hearts only home


BY angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin DOME


And all thy hues were born in Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet,


Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,


And freedom banner streaming Ger u.s."
Let US give the entire piece, that it may
stir our pulses, even in these degenerate days
1t was Drake who wrote it, few lines being
added by Halleek:


When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurl'd her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,


And set the stars of glory there
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrc of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white,
With streakings from the morning light
Then, from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land



Majestic monarch of the cloud


Who rear'st aoft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud


And see the lightning lances driven.
When strides the warrior Of the storm,


And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven
Child OF the sun to thee t is given


To guard the banner of the free
To hover in the lphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine aiar,
Like ranbows on the cloud of war;


The harbinger of victory!
Flag of the brave thy folds shall flv,
The sign of hope and triumph high
When speaks the signal-trumpet's tone
And the long line comes cleaning on;
Ere yet the hfe-blood warm and wet
Has dimmd the glistenng bayonet--
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn,
10 where thy meteor glories burn,
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance!
And when the cannon's mouthlngs loud,
Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,
And CORY sabreS rise and fall,
Like shoots of flame on midnight pail
There shall thy victor glances glow,


And covering foes shall fall beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below


That lovely messenger Of death
Flag of the seas on oceans wave,
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave,
When death, careerng on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the swelling sail,
And irghted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack;
The dying wanderer Of the
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly,
In triumph Ger the closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts only home,


BY angel hands to valor given!
Thy stars have lit the welkln dome


And all thy hues were born in heaven!
For ever float that standard sheet


Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet


And freedoms banner streaming oer us

A SoUTHERNER ON SECESSION. .-Sherrard
Clemens of Virginia, said in his late speech
in Congress: I'VE are in the midst of great
events. We are making history. We may
be in the dying days of this Republic; and
should undo my deeds, should unknow my
knowledge, before would as the traveller in
the Alps utter, even in whisper, one word
which might bring down the avalanche upon
the quiet homes of my people | would speak
as Southern man, identified by birth, by
education, by residence, by interest, by prop.
erty, by Affection with her population. Sir,
on bayou of the Mississippi reposes now III
quiet the inheritance of my children-an in
heritance which, even in slaves, amounts to
one half of the whole number in all the elev-
en- counties which compose my Congressional
District in Virginia. | would speak as a
Western Nirgnian, and as the custodian of
the property of those children, who are not
old enough to know the peril to which it is
exposed 10y those who are riding on the very
crest of the popular wave, but who are yet
destined to sink in the very trough of the
sea, to a depth so unfathomable that bub-
ble will never rise to mark the spot where
they went so ignominiously down. Well
may those who have inaugurated the revolu-
tion which is now stalking over the land, cry
out, with uplifted hands, for peace, and de-
precate the etfusion of blood. It was the
inventor of the guilotine who was its first
unresising victim; and the day may not be
far off before we may find those among our
own people who will be compelled to rely
upon the magnanmity of the very popula-
tion they have outraged and deceived The
authors ofrevoution have often been their
victims"
