Glorious news comes o'er the wires
FreBh from the battles murd'rous fires—.
Victory hath orowned our banners—
Shout! Hurrah! sing loud hosannahst
Fifty thousand rebels slaughtered,
Cannon battering Richmond down-
Gold One Fifty—"wires down."
Rebellion's backbone fast is breaking,
Davis' minions' hearts are quaking,
All day fong our cannons thundered,
Tbey lost thousands, we a huudred.
Drove them from their strong position,
Took their cannons and munitions,
Soon we'll have the Richmond town,
Gold One Si?ty—"wires dewn.1'
Nakedness and sheer starvation,
Not a rag and not a ration
Have tbe rebels uow to bless them ;
Knowing well that we possess them,
Thousands daily are deserting,
"C. S. A." not worth a crown,
Gold Two Huhdred—"wires down."
Wanted, now, five hundred thousand
From the anvils, plains and plows, and
Counting rooms—some opposition
Has been' met—"We've changed position,"
"Strategy" you know required it;
Met the rebels—mowed them down,
Gold Two twenty—"wires down."
New oomtnander takes the field now,
Rebels surely bound to yield now ;
Cannon thundering, banners flaunting*-
Men and money mote are wanting,
Rebel hosts are broken, scattered,
All their forts lo pieces battered—
Now we'll soon have Richmond town,
Gold Two Fifty—'-wiresdown."
WHilt we Pay for It.
A Calculating machine in the form
of an ascetic faultfinding copperhead,
the other day remarked to us in a crabbed -way,*"I tell you, Sir, that this Administration—not the war—but this
Administration, is ruinhig the country
and every man in it. One third ofthe
whole estate, real and personal, in the
loyal States 18 irredeemably mortgaged
to the "Government," and if the present
usurper retains power four years longer,
the other two thirds will be mortgaged
and the mortgage foreclosed upon the
whole." While figuring upon the startling prposition, we fell upon an article
in the Marysville Express, on the same
subject, which is directly to the point.
The Sacramento Bee, (a journal as remarkable for its servile truckling to despotism as for the ability with which it
defends and justifies the tyranny under
which the country grwons,) having
made the feckless assertion that the
"Government e&pensee in this State are
some ten millions per annum more than
its receipts for taxes, duties, postage,
etc," and, that "less .than two millions
(of specie) is taken by the Government
from this coast this year/' the cofsFe's-
pondent of the Express enters upon his
subject, saying:
The statistics I employ are derived from the
San Francisco Mercantile Gazette; a work of Immense elaboration and Unimpeachable veracity.
The following are tbe facts in round numbers i
Gold and silver currency last year, about $24,000-
000; excess of exports of treasure this year, about
$9,000,000, of whinh Government has remitted
$6,000,000.
I hold that this heavy Government export is one
of the chief causes of the hard times. First, because this money is taken from the currency, that
is from the circulating money medium. We em
ploy specie for two purposes—as an article ot
merchandise and as currency. The bulk oi our
production is exported as the former ; and like
other goods, seeks the best market, For every
dollar of it we receive returns.
But the Government exports, (except the three
per cent, taxupon tbe gross products ofthe mines,)
islaken from the circulation—from onr specie our"
rency. It is money paid for import duties, internal revenue, etc. All writers Upon finance admit
that nothing will oause stringency so quick as the
diminution of the currency.
2. No negotiable returns, are made for this sum
exported, or if negotiable, do not aid the currency. The General Government gives protection against foreign enemies. [How much ?] She
protects our oommerce. [Three fourths is destroyed !] Maintains our reputation. [Very badly I] But none oi these are pecuniary returns.
But also she appropriates a large sum in greenbacks for the servioe of the Facifio coast. Much
of this lies unused because of its deprecation.
What is employed is sold to brokers, and does not
enter into circulation. The specie received from
the sale was already currenoy ; the sale therefore
adds nothing to this amount, only makes a change
of owners.
3. This Government export is the last feather
(a heavy one too) that breaks the camel's back.
To illustrate by a present case. The writer of this
article gets his living from his farm. By dint of
rigid economy and industry he has nearly paid for
his land by ten years work, and thus far has educated his children. But now come the taxes: from
five to fifteen cents for every pound of ooffee ;
twenty- five oents, for every pound of tea, and so
on ; inoome tax ; stamp tax, etc The expenses
of living are increased thereby at least twenty-five
per oent; and now the specie currefioy itself flows,
under the irresistible laws of monetary oontraetion,
toward its centre. The failure of the crops prevented us from increasing our store. The Government takes what we had previously.
Suoh is tho oase of nearly two-ttrirds of the
people of California; and what hava we to repay
ua! Oar nation engaged in suicidal oivil war;
three-fourths of our commerce destroyed ; our
glorious old flag made the emblem of Black Republican traitors t two millions of heroic Americans massaored in the insensate feud ; our fortresses turned into State Prisons for oitizens nnder
arbitrary arrests ; liberty tottering toward destruction, and Abolition frnatics singing hallelujahs over tbe perishing glories of the grand old
Republic.
Let as illustrate again. Suppose tbat We were
to have given away all the wheat ($3,000,000) that
we exported last year. It would have impoverished us only half as much as what Government
has taken this year.
Suppose that all onr mines were compelled to
pay one-seventh or one-eighth of their total production.   That is just what he are doing.
No donbt a burden reaohthg io all classes Is
thereby more equalized, and easier borne ; but,
nevertheless, the fact remains. These taxes, so
impoverishing, are a mortgage on our farms,
stores, dwellings, mines, labor, food and onr very
lives. Tbey will increase upon us so long as the
present party are in power. They will drag as
down to rnin and despair.
And now, when Nevada grbans o^&r hef dapital
withdrawn ; when California sighs in sympathy,
and grim poverty haunts our foot-stepB) wejjare
snearingly told, "you will next hold the Adminis-
tration responsible for the filling up of Feather
river."
The world Is giving Its terdict, and all posterity will confirm it. Never did so great a nation
come to so mean an end. To perish by the sword
of Soipio, or beneath the war horse ot Attilla, carries an aspeot of grandienr. To lie down stupidly
and be kicked to death by a jackass is both degrading and horrible. Cabcsjdinez.
Military Organization—Union  Leagues.
The people of Callfdrhii haVe bseli assured by
Major-General McDowell, in General Order No.
38, that "no armed organization" will be permitted in this Department, and if he will faithfully
adhere to this the peace of the State will be secured. The Democratic party ask nothing more.
Democrats have no disposition to itta tbemselVes
except for defence against the "Union Leagues,"
and to defend their right to vote. They know
these organizations are armed and drilled, and
they know also that that their object Is to control the Presidential election. If General McDowell, then, will disarm the "Union Leagues"
there will be no Brining by Demoflfats. If he does
not he fails to fulfill bis promise and allows, unrestrained, a cause to exist having in Us tendency
to carry to the minds of Democrats an impression
of necessity to arm themselves. General McDowell oertainly cannot but know, positively, ofthe
existence in our midst ofthe armed organizations
we have mentioned. If, however, he entertains
any doubt whatever bf tbis; the following diroular
of yery recent date, must remove all such doubt:
Grand Council U. L. A.,        1
State op Campornia,      >-
San Franoisco, Aug. 25,   1864.    )
To the officert ofthe Suburninate Council! of the
Union League:
Gentlemen :—It has become important to ascertain at once) and as near as may be, the available military strength of our organization within tbis State.
I am, therefere, instructed to reqnest that within ten days after the receipt hereof, yoa will fill ap
and retutn to the Grand Secretary the accompanying blank. You will please forward at the
same time any funds that may be in your banns,
contributed by the members of your Council, nnder tbe oall of the Grand Council, dated April 20th
1864.
Prompt action is absolutely necessary, if we are
to be prepared for the exigencies  that  may arise
dnring the coming political campaign.
Fraternally yours,
S. P. ParkeIi, Grand President.
By order—
Alfred Barstow, Grand Secretary.
We are prepared, at any time General McDowell
will call Ior It, to prove incontestibly the above.
Again, therefore, we oall upon tbe Commanding
General to require S. P. Parke*/ Grand President
to deliver up the arms provided for, and now in
the hands of the menbers of these Leagues, and by
so doing, we repeat, he will effectually prevent
Democrats from arming, and we will have a peaceful canvass and election.—Dem. Press.

A soldier whose time is np, and wbo left Gen.
Grant's army on the 6th June, informs us that he
was discharged on the 18th, bat could not gei
away before for want of transportation, as there
was not transportation even for the wounded. He
says Gen. Grant's wounded were so numerous that
they were obliged to haul them off on the Beige
guns for the want of oarriages enough. He says
tbat the army of the Potomac believe that bad
McClellan been their oommander in all these late
battles, he would not have lost a quarter of as
many soldiers as Grant has.
Tbe Barbarism of tbis   War.
tt this war oh the part of the North, were, in ltd
objects, the most just and righteous ever prosecuted, the manner in which it is conduoted would
damn it to everlasting idfamy. A single Inoident
Is recorded in onr columns this week, whicb, for
cool malignity, surpasses anything we bave before
encountered. It seems that when General Sherman took possession of Roswell, Ga., be found
there a ootton factory, in which about 400 young
wemen and girls were employed, and what should
tbis pink of civilization do bat seize tbese girls as
prisoners of war, and loading them in army wagons, tear them from their families and natural
protectors, and send them to tbe railroad at Marietta, from whence they were ordered] to be sent
north of the Ohio river! The only grounds alleged for tbis outrageous seizure of these girls was
that they Were engaged it aiding "the rebellion"
by manufacturing articles for the southern soldiers!
Upon these grounds all Women in the Confederata
State might be seized in tbe same way, and torn
from their families and homes. Did ever a white
man before this, make Waf Upon women ? Surely
we cannot oomplain if foreign civilized nations
should regard ns as savages. Tbis man Sherman
bas shown himself as actuated by a spirit quite as
brutal as any ever exhibited by Buttler. His raid
across the Mississippi was, perhaps, the most uncivilized movement ever made by a military commander. But this seizure of four hundred young
women, and transporting them like Botany Bay
criminals, away from their fathers, mothers, brothers aod friends, is an unexampled act of heathenish atrocity. No Words can properly oharacter-
ize such a vile and unmanly aot. Just here let
ub mentiom one fact worth making a note of; Nd
matter bow much opposed to the laws of war, or
how savage or barbarous the acts of any military
commander may have been dhfidg tbis war, not
one has yet committed an aot sufficiently attrocioua
as to receive the rebuke of this Administration I
On the contrary, the men who have distinguished
themselves for barbarity, like Butler in New Or-,
leans, McNiel in Missouri, Montgomery with his
nigger ruffians io South Carolina, and Hunter,
wherever he has been, stand the highest in its
favor. These facts are worth remembering. A
prominent Republican has made the remark that
"if the Union cannot be restored, it is desirable to
make tbe moral separation as wide as possible aa
it will assist in the material separatist!." Is thia
the key of tbe barbarous policy?—Day Book.
Death of an old Pioneer.—Capt. Isaao Graham, one of the earliest American pioneers to this
coast, and for more than thirty years a resident of
Santa Cruz oounty, died In Saa Francisco recently, aged 64 years.
GiIant and Less.—The Montreal Telegraph con-*'
eludes a lengthy review of Grant's campaign ini
the following language:
So (ar, we repeat the campaign has failed at alt
points ; the Federal afniisa have been burled ta
oertain slaughter with a coldheartedness worse)
than devilish. No genera] ever exhibited so great
an indifference to tbe lives of his soldiers as Grant j
no gen. ever gained as little by such sacrifice. It is
imposible to say that his army has not fought well
and endured all the hardships, dangers and labors
of the campaign with heroism and docility. They
were directed by a butcher, and opposed by tha
greatest general of this or any other age. Posterity will rank General Lee above Wellington ot
Napoleon, before SaM ot Turenrle, Alexander ot
Cfesar. Careful of the lives of his men, fertile in
resources, a profound taotician, gifted with tha
swift intuition which enables a commander to dis*
cern the pnrpose of his enemy, and the power of
rapid combination which enables him to oppose to
it a prompt resistance ; modest, frugal, self-denying, void af arrogance or self-assertion; trusting
nothing to chance ; among men noble as the no<.
blest, In the lofty dignity ofthe Christian Gentleman ; among patriots less self-seeking, and as
pure as Washington, and among soldiers combining the religions simplicity of Havelook, with tha
genions of Napoleon, the heroism of Bayard and
Sydney, and the untiring, never faltering duty
of Wellington.
If this great soldier had at his command tha
forces and material against which he is called oa
to contend, the superiority on land and the snp-
premasy on water, in six months the whole Federal States would be prostrated at his feet. As It
;s, he has made his own name, and that of the Confederacy he serves, immortal.
Changes in Politics.—We learn through a reliable source that on Bear river, in tbis county,
there have been a number of changes, politically.
Some eight or ten well known citizens have, within the last ten days, repudiated Lincoln.
Some of them favor Fremont, but will vote for
any good man that can defeat Lincoln.—Marysville Esprets.
Advancing khkir Prices.—The representatives
of the Boston weekly papers met last week and
resolved to advance the rates of subscription and
advertising from twenty to fifty per cent. The
newspaper publishers generally throughout the
country have either advanced their rates or decreased the size of their journals.—V.
A Grand Project, Indeed.—A party of genllfr*
