The military fever is again rife among our citizensFecretary
Cameron's refusal to aocopt the regiment organized
hero threw a damper on it; but now our embryo
soldiers confidently expect to be called upon to Oil up the
quota of 200,000 additional men required by the Prestdent.
Accordingly, the drilling Bu?i>cnded seme time
since has been resumed, and the streets, as buforo, are
alive with bodies of trained men. A meeting takes place
this ovoniug to inaugurate the first steps towards the formation
af a cavalry regimeut, "60 strong, to be ready in
the event of being required for service. California produces
sotno of the host horsemen ln_tho world, and is,
above all places, most suitable to raise amounted corps.
'1 here is some speculation as to the reported expedition
from hero to Texas, and as secession has no foothold on
this coast, it is but fair to gtvo those anxious an opportunity
of showing their devotion to the country. Tborc Is
littlo else thought of at prosont besides the progress of the
war, and it must bo said that many incline to the opinion
thai some sort of compromise would he a happy event, if
it could be brought about without loosening the dignity of
the government. The rumors on this topic that roach ug
from the Kast are received by a great number with
pleasure.
ARMY INTCLMOIHCI.
1 learn on good authority that sevoral officers of tho
army, now serving in California, and who wcro recently
promoted in consequence of the augmentation of the military
establishment of the country, will decline. The reason
for this action on their part is elated to be, in effect,
that there is no guarauteo of tho permanency of the new
regiments, and that in giving up their present positions
they would run tho rtslc of being thrown out of service
whuu the war Is over. 1 learn further, that General Sumner
is not at all pleased with the reluctance inamfcslod,
and that lie will satisfy the protectants that their grounds
of objection are not [well taken. Having done so, the
backward officers, it is fair to presume, will either havo
to retire from the army or euter upon tho active duties of
the campaign. Of course It is understood thut promotion
requires immediate departure for the Eastern States.
We have now a largo body of regular troops concentrated
in and about the harbor of San Fronciaco. They
arc stationed as follows:?
At tho Presidio there are stationed Company C, Third
artillery (Ord's battery), in splendid condition, six guns
and seventy horses; Companies A, C, P, F, G, H and K,
Fourth infantry, and Company E, Niulh iufantry. Commanding

The largo gar neons at Los Angeles and Furl Churchill
are for the purpose of suppressing nny tendency to incite
oppus.tiun to tho government, lu tho two pia. es named
miiiii fovr sympathizers with secession arc to be found
who lalsly made exhibitions of rebellious Hugs. As a
innttor of precaution a sullicicnt forco is in each place to

Tlie McMuhon Grenadier Guard (an Irish company)
had an election for Captain on the evening of the 18th,
when Charles B. Grant, First Lieutenant, was chosen to
(til tiie positiou. After the business of the meeting tho
party adjourned to the Tehama House, where th y
Sat down to enjoy themselves. Many toasts
wore given and drank. When tho "Union" w as projmsed
a regular "Faugh a llallagh" yell gre? lc d it. Just ut this
moment General Sumner, United States Army, command
lug the l'acillo division, on his way to his nparlm.nis in
the house, suddenly found himself in the presence of "the
Jlcilahous, and was ut once received with three mure
rousers. His health was promised, which he acknow- |
lodged in a few remurks, touching upon the chief points of
the present national crisis, for tho result of which he felt
no apprehension, lie knew tti.it the federul government
wa. strong in the hearts of tie' p-op;e, from whom it proceeded,
and upon whom it relied for its power ami support.
The present struggle, tic said, was not one so much
for ourselves as for our posterity. A great trust was
reposed in us, aud as trustees we had no power to
alienate. It was the duty of sU citizens to tie
conservative at tliia present time, aud to declare their
willingness to support their country in this trying
ordeal Hy our aciiiig nobly and fearlessly in this crisis
future generations would associate our humble ham s
with those great ones of the men of 1770; theirs as the
creators, ours as tbo preservers of their liberties. Neutrality
at such a time Is not excusable, Qt,i ia. rl comm.
t"n liitlur was a legal motto, and not to be forgottenOur
citizens of foreign birth were equally interested with
those natives "to tho manor born" in maintaining the

By the last steamer from Panama a man named Sollo do
came |iasseugur. He bad with hnn a large quantity of wi
diamonds, &c., which were seized us contraband by the Ni
Custom House officers; after investigation, it was found tri
that a mistake was made. A city paper says?Hie party th
against whom this groundless charge was made is Mr se
Loopold Seilo, lately in business In Now York city, and co
agent for the bouse of B. Faliek, No. 11 rue Lafitto, Paris. m<
When the seizure was mado, Mr. 8. stated that the dia- th
bionds wore not subject to duty, but his statement was be
not credited. Mr. Collector Rankin, however, made a hn
rigid examination of Mr. Sotlo's papers and wilnossos, and ch
caused the goods seized to be reluruod, at the th
same time taking the precaution to recoive ap
from Mr. Seilo a written disclaimer of liia fo
iDtention t? hold tho government for damages in conse- mB
queiice of the faux pas committed. Tho seizure was
wholly illegal and unauthorized, and tho person or |?rsons
connected therewith showed great ignorance of their duties.
So positive were tboy that a good haul had been
made, that on Monday last a "groat spread" was set out. jgt
Misrepresentation, also, is to bo laid at their door,for
they magnified the small value of tho seizure?about
(1,000 m all?to (10,103. Mr. Stole states that Mr. Rankin
behaved very gentlemanly to him, which no doubt he
did. and charges all the troubles which beset him to pri
vato malice. Mr. S. is unmarried, so the statements matte
by the Custom House officials in reference to the wifo, who
was said to havo made a successful landing with a petticoat
"all over" diamond pins, was wholly imaginary.
The French morchonta of this city complain that tho
new officers in the Appraiser's Department retain an unnecessary
amount of goods from tho packages that go to tli
tho Custom House. In somo Instances they havo shown
that one-tonth of the amount of goods has boon extracted
and kept by subordinates. The Collector promises to so
check tire abuse. of
tim una roiCT tract. a.
It will bo remembered that about threo years slnco
Congress passed an act authorizing tho purchase of a tract
of land near the entrance to tho lrurbor of San Frauclsco 28
for the erection of a fort, and appropriated $200,000 for je|
the purpose. The late Senator Brodorick was mainly in
strumental in defeating the purchase, as the property is, ul
in fact, not worth anything like the sum then proposed to rp;
ho paid for It. Ho declared that its value was not beyond c0
$5,000. The Unitod States government is most anxious
to obtain tho tract for tho purptme of defence, and in
furtherance of its views our Legislature passed an act
empowering its agents to procoed and have it condemned. p
A good deal of litigation has grown out of the matter,
which was finally settled by our Supremo Court in favor 13
ol tho government. Recently tho matter was tried boforo . or
a jury, who assessed the value at $126,000, wlilch is con- H
Hldorcd ainoHl extravagant valuation. The land is burren hi
and of scarcely of any use whatever, except for mililary oil
occufiation. Tho owners, howovor, intend t" apimal.
What is thought of the matter may bo learned from the Pt
following parapraph:? nt
Messrs. Lewis, Matthewson,Itoikorstaff, Millor and Capt. lit
McPhnrson, U. S. A., concurred in estimating the value of re
the 1,000 acres as being under $40,000; whllo Messrs. w
Tescbmacher (Mayor of SanFrancisco), Sintou (real estate t.t
autlouoer), Vassault, Gibb and l eek estimated it as being le
worth from $150,000 to $300,000. Mr. Siutou said, "in w
my judgment the water is elegant ftotn one end to thu
other; I moan the depth throughout thu frontage, &c;" ho lb
does not tell of tho beauty of tho land, its splendid per- Fl
peudicular cliffs of rock,from 100 to 200 foot high, thnt tf
extend along tho line of tho shoro nearly tho whole dis- si
tanee; he does uot tell of the ship that broke up against n<
those romauilc rocks a few years since, it boing trn- sc
IMisslblo to rescue bor from the heavy swells that at
come through the Golden Gate and wash tho m
bat-o of these oliffit with a strength that bids defiance ct
to the power of man. Mr. Gibb valued it as worth
$40,000 to $50,000 for agricultural purposes, but thought Oi
it worth an additional $200,000 " for commercial pur- Hi
poses"?a fine place for docks, wharves and warehouses, ct
truly. San Francisco might grow until its population M
was counted by millions, aud I.imo Point, unless used by ci
orivernment would strut, 1. us now a hlnalr. wove tioiLtcn h:

The track cons',sts of 1,889 acres. From tho evidence
of William J. Lewis, a surveyor nnd civil otiginoer, wo tl
learu that the tract wits selected by tho United Stutes go- n
vsromwit,under the direction of (.'apt. (iilnior. lu Horse- a
sht>e Covo there aro about forty acres of line arable land, C
tho sides of the hills afford good grazing, about one-third r
of tho whole tract is capable of cultivation and the other ti
two-thirds aro lit for grazing. There is no timber. Mr. I
Lewis values the land rapaldo of cultivation at $20 pur v
acre, ami the balance at $8. r
PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC TELEGRAPH. ?
[From tho Alta California, July 20.] t.
On Wednesday last the Btato Telegraph Company des- li
patched ono of their best operators, Mr. John Yoiitz, to t
tho end of tho telegraph lino now building east towards d
Suit Like, to receive and transmit tile poay news from the
outer station. Tho company have now some flfty rniltw c
of the lino constructed east of Fort Churchill, and have a
nearly flfty wagons engaged in transporting poles and n
wire out, to and beyond tho outer station, which enables C
llicm to push tho work forward with groat rapidity. 1
Every week, from this time, will extend the wire and v
shorten tho time of tho pony. At tho samo moment , Mr. F
James Street, tho agent of the company at Salt lake, is c<
pushing forward this way, having some two hundred and b
til ty miles of poles contracted for and which nro now ho- y
iug cut and hauled westward from Salt Lako. The wire
and insulators for that end of tho lino wore purchased in it
tho Last, and aro on tho way out to Salt I-ako, so as to bo T
in readmess when tho poles aro set up, (o put tho lino in
working ordor. A
In a few days messages can be sent to overtake tho si
i pony two days after it lias left Sail Frnucisco, or re- t<
ceived here two days lief ore the arrival of the pony U
ra town. Each month a day more will be gained, and if (
no accident happens to tho teams employed in tho work, a
[ tho first snow will not fall in tho valleys before tho western
half of the overland lino from Sun Francisco to Bait
I Lake will be in working order. C
I On tho other sido tho Eastern company aro pushing
. westward, and by tho 1st of Aogust tho wire will.be up
| to Julesburg, which is two hnndred miles wear of Eort
Kearny, thus shortening the pony time ouu day more on
thai end. They have also a largo number of men and h
teams engaged In hauling out |s>lSi and wire, and aro put- n
tingrurtii their best efforts to complete their halfas quickly .
as tho western half. A work of this magnitude invulves
great iwpeuse, together with a more than ordinary c
amount of lalair and rb-k; for, should Indians drlvo off
the stock while out on the mid plains, almost irreparable
delay would onsoo. Kvory precaution and onro is taken
to guard against ace's lent of any kind.aud should no unfore- a
seen misfortune arise, tho work will he carried out as above v
UW'I. We should have mentioned that the operator .
travels with the workmen engaged cast of Fort Churchill,
ami aa fust aa the line la put up lie sets hut luatruuieui 11
at the cnil, and communicates with the chief office in San a
Francisco, so that almost every day he is flintier off and .

to the same high destiny among the nations of the earth, A
it is unquestionably tlie interest, as I know It to be the st
strong desire, of the government of Wte United States to oi
cultivate the friendliest social and commercial relations cl
with the government of Nicaragua. As governments can- ni
i not fctand slid, but mu. t inevitably advance or recede. h,
i and as ropnblieanism Is compelled to niaintain a constant b

I evident that we have the same ootnmon interest in dis- r>

1 republican ism unMl they shall bo established on a per ma- P
j nent basis on tlie entire continent. This cannot be done
, by a Single republic, but must b - accompliMhed by the

There has existed Always in the Southern States au ultra i

That tlorgo Washington and tho founders of osr government
never appreciated the slavery institution in its true
light." I have listened to tho silvery tones of Alexander
II. Stopheus, as ho discussed the physiological and provilontial
status of tho negro, and stated that the " Father of

'Blave," and habitually employed tho term "servant."

Should Henry Clay live to-day, many, perhaps the majority
of the South, would bo eager to hang him as an
rbolltionlst. When Senator Hammond, of South Carolina,
stood upon tho balcony of his hotel at. Charleston anil addressed
tho frantic multitude around liini, ne look from
his pocket a uutuber.of tho Tribune and read a slvrt extract,
iu which tho editor assorted the weakness of the
South, and thou tho speaker naively roplied, "Do not the
fools yet know that we havo always had the control of
Ibis government?"
' Tho control of this government!" This, this was tho
r.up tie sote.il which heated and stupefied tho brains of
Southern politicians. Tho last census diminished the
representation of tho South iu Washington, and the
late election was a proof that Jeff. Davis and
Cobb, and Toombs and Stephens had but slim
jhunces of the White House.
And why should tho South lose influence in the federal
oongresg? Does not every Slavo owned in the South equal
Solomon in uli his glory? What country over grow so
wealthy as tho South in the short period of six or eight
years? Has not every man his carriage, and has not cotton
grown In valuo from six to thirteen cents, and is not
tho slave he purchased for flvs hundred dollars, iu I860,
worth $ I,ilOO or $15,000 now? Why should a people growing
thus wealthy submit to a loss of influence m govern
incut, especially when the gain goes to sireugtheu their
enemies? * .
HOW TOOMBS NXII.VECRED THE FSCXCTOH 1MVEME.ST.
Upon grounds like thcso a Toombs anil a Cobb, each
with a naif million invested in slaves, could appeal with
ciffoct to the hot headed ami promt collection of young
planters which constituted the Legislature at MilloilgeviUe.
" Why not," exclaimed Toombs, " usurp a |>owor
(not delegated) and pass the ordinance of secession at
once; if you do not hand mo thu sword, by (j?d I'll take
it myself Why not pass it?" The mcmlx'rs know, and
IVombs knew, that tho Union sentiment was so strong
tliat they would gel torn to plecoa had thoy don# so. Hut
they could safely do ono thing. Thoy could call a Couvention,
and they could pass a law whereby ten wealthy
plauters In the middle and tiouthorn counties of the State
would havo as much tnllucuco as three thousand in tho
more populous counties, where few slaves wore owned.
And this they did, nud by tho aid of lying telegraphic

TO THE EIBTOR OF TtlE HERALD.
It is much to be regretted that any portion of the peoplo
in tho loyal States should bo cow talking of treating 111
with tho rebelB and acknowledging their independence.
If the United States is ever driven to so humiliating a gi
course, tho supremacy of this continent passes forever ,r
into the hands of the Southern slavoooracy. ^
Why these timid apprehensions of our inability to bi
crush out this monster rebellion? Is not the control of st
the North American continent and the ascendency of our js
free government a rich reward for all tho blood and trea- w
sure that will be oxponded in tho contest? *
Twenty millions of American freemen may bid defiance ^
to a world in arms. Wecauarmattd equip, If need be in
two millions of men as easily as our enemies a fifth of K
tt
that number; and while the confederate navy is composed tl,
f a few pirate brigs and steamers, we have, with our Ti
present roepectable naval strength, mechanics and timber "
andiron enough to cover, in less than two years, the ^
ocean with our vessels of war. of
Tho rebel armies of Brittany and La Vendoe were more 1,1
ormldablo in tho days of tho French revolution than are
[lie Southern rebels to-day, and yet fifteen millions of if
anscent freemen not only beat down the vast armies o it
the traitors, but routod, in addition, the countless legionf
of confederated Kuropc. >

r in the North would axult. I was traval{
alter midnight through a section studded
h l/irge plantations, and was astonished at the unusual
Icerulneas and nets; hilarity of the negroes at every
ilemout which I passed; t learned next morning that
the day previous the nowa arrived that a company,,
upoaed chiefly of the sons of wealthy planters in the
inty, had bean cut to pieces at the battle of Rich
lUDtiin.
"here la a wide spread apprehension in the South that
the event of any great disaster to the rebel army, the
(roes who witness it will lose all self control, set fire to
i houses, and that the contagion will spread Ilka lightig
through the eutlre South.
Some in the North aro astonished, a few appalled, at
s euddeoces and magnitude which have marked the asnblage
of the armed rebels. This It Is which bsa strlckterror
lulo tho craven end paallanlmous In our mldat,
to with hands in pocket cry (or peace. These traitors,
to do not appreciate the value o? a government which
rtects their lives and property, which they am
rstng and striving to degrade, should be painted black
d packed off to Dixie land?there they would soon ba
tde to fieel by vigilance committees, and lash and rope,
a beautiful and humane spirit which bsa given its tinting
but deceptive grandeur to the monster rebellion.
Qie two hundred thousand slaveownlng nabobs of the
t>ol States, urged by pride and passion, made a fearful
p, and unforeseen or uncared for circumstances carried
sra boyond the intended mete. WithUfe, wealth, name]
Influenco all upoa the hazard of a die, Is itamatr
of wonder that they rushed to arms themselves!
Hiring the patriotism of the people, they durst not arte
?lr verdict, and committed to treason themselves, they
asped the sword and puree in every State, and
roatening all who hesitated with death and ruin, they
ellod thisir ranks with thousands of citlseus who were
yal to the core.
The worst days of the Directory, In that bloody episode
French history, cannot furnish Instances of greater
uelty and barbarity than occur dally amid our quondasn
ethrcn of the Sooth.
All those not natlvog who have not ptanged with frantic
?l into tho rebel cause live In constant terror. Whoa
b father leavca his residonce in the morning to attend
his daily duth a, he ktsses wife and children with the
(idoiiing apprehension that the present leave taking may

ango ears are listening at door or window, and then la
dor lone oanvass the probability that sumo suspected
ivnte enemy or some Union Boutimont uttered long, long
o, will, ere anotlior sun may set, bring sadness to the
art anu tears to the eyes of womanhood and cause the
liling of orphans to be heard in that onco bappy little
me. The writer speaks from personal experience and
tli a knowledge of many instances where the picture
is more dark and bloody than the one hero drawn.
It is thus that the slave power has put iuto the field m
my of two hundred aud fifty thousand men. This hugs
rpenl, with a head of brnss and-a body of clay, is moving
a surface which at a momout niny oxplode and blow tt
to alums.
The leaders of ths rebellion well knew the might and
wer of this government, and by goading themselves
d others Into a state of frenzy they have succeeded In
S"inblmgan armed force winch would terrify what wan
l!ed the cowardly North, and which from lts,powor at
sistance would appeal to tho niggcriy goldworghipping
Irll of the Fastern States.
No language can oonvey an idea of tho blind, boundless
?nzy aud hate with which the slavoowuers in ths sedod
States regard this government Slaveocracy and
publicauism are now contending for ascendancy in North
nenca. The one must exercise sovereign sway to Use
iry borders of Canada, or the other must maintain its
condency to Mexico and the Gulf.
The rehel statos have now tested the uttermost limit at
eir resources ami strength, while this mighty asd giant
Hon of freemen has scarcely braced its (hows and sinews
r the contest. Were the people of the loyal States
ousod to tho same pitch of maddened fury as ths 8 la valuing
rebels, ore another year bad us blrtb, every traos
treason mid traitors would have disappeared.
Should the freemen of this day, from meanness or tlmlly,
yield to the darmg audacity of the rebel government,
ey will leave to ihsir chBdrcn a logacy of woes. Better
r us. at the expense of millions, now to do the duty that
voices upon us effectually and well, than oblige our ohlen.
at tho cost of billions, to wine out 111c stain uaoa
