HE UNIONRECORD. lOVILLE, SATURDAY, FEB. 27. For President, in 1864, iBRAHAM LINCOLN. FOB VICE PRESIDENT, N DREW JOHNSON, of Tonn. ;Sabject to the Decision of the National Union nvenlion.) Codification of the Laws. A friend and subscriber writes to us upon is subject as follows : I’be present session of r Legislature will be distinguished for the of some of the most important acts that body for many years. But of them alt ■ doubt whether any one needs so much care, d yet with it is capable of doing so much od as the proposition to codify the laws of 3 Slate of California. To do this work roughly would be next in point of difficulty the formation of a new constitution. But e importance of it, if rightly accomplished. u!d hardly be over estimated ; more than If the frauds and injustice that occur, arise im the proverbial uncertainty of the law, ising from its ambiguities and the contradic ry enactments of different acts. To be able know clearly and at ooce what the law is, ves expense, vexation and injustice to eli te, and by simplifying the course of justice, e* more to prevent injuries from being com tted than would at first appear possible. If we look through history, we shall find at the codification of the laws of a State has trays exercised a surprising iufloence upon 8 future condition of that State, by showing tat the law really is and wherein it needs teodment, and can be most easily and pro rly amended with the least disturbance to ose fundamental and constiiutional principles licit constitute the life of the State. The Homan laws of the Twelve Tables were doubtcdly compiled from pre existing sonr s put into a systematic form. The Institutes inducts nod Code of Justinian, digesting the bole of the Roman law, have been to all sub quent ages a fountain of law of the utmost nseqncnco. Most of our Stales have, from no to time, digested their laws and found it keep confusion in check, and suggest what necessary to render the laws harmonious, ear and concise. That the laws of this Slate should be codi td, seems to us a matter too clear to be cal diu question, and were it wisely and well >ne at the present time, it would seem as a :w and most important additional source of dightemneot to the whole Slate. At present »ly a ew of the best lawyers of this State re well versed in the whole system of laws of ar State Courts. In Europe this life-time ndy is quite unknown. But open up, codify ad digest the whole system of our laws into a armonions awl compact system; and what lecode of Justinian has been to all European itioos, Ibis would be, by the inherent power f its own justice, to the people of this State. Furloughed Soldiers and Copperheads. We clip the following from the “editorial urrespoudence" o( the Evening Journal, dated unitary 10th ’64 : The Kail campaign having nded with I Ik? crowning glory of Chattanooga ud the winter having set in early and with nusnal severity, it was doomed advisable by he Government to permit a large numlier «l be throe years men to visit their friends and imilies This has proved a wise movement, ccanse the presence of so many men fresh ora the theatre of war has stimulated recruit ig to such a degree that it is thought that he now quota will ho made np without a re orl to a dralt. It also is having a political fleet of far greater significance. It is prucli ally settling the next Presidential election, ml rendering the success of the Union candi ale a foregone conclusion. All, without ex epliou, of the returning soldiers arc outspoken ud emphatic in their detestation of Copper ends and treason-sympathizing Democrats; lid it was a gratifying spectacle to notice how luioklv a soldier would ;deuce any individual rho hazarded to criticise the action of the government in respect to its war policy. The dd veterans, almost to a man. arc radical im nediatc abolitionists, and their opinions, deter nincdly outspoken throughout the loyal States usl before the selection of delegates to nomi i»te a candidate for the Presidency, will result n making the Union nominating convention utenselv radical on the slavery question. Mark his, that every loyal State which has not al ■eadv provided for receiving the vote of its soldiers in the field, will do so where it is so litualml in its legislative and executive de partin'tits, that it can be accomplished or its constitution will permit; and with those Stales where this cannot lie effected, the soldiers will he allowed to visit their homes at the Novem her election, where the exigencies ofthc service will permit, in case the result of the presiden tial election iu those respective Stales isiu the least doubtful. In all of the Union, during this generation of soldiers, the present race of lory Copperhead politicians is doomed to a dis graceful obscurity. The patriot soldier will expressa spirit ol generous forgiveness for the rebel soldier whom he has conquered in manly warfare, but for the sneaking Copperhead, too cowardly to go inside of the rebel lines and fight for the cause he advocates in the security j of a Government he stealthily hopes to under mine and d+'Slroy. he has no measure of con tempt and scorn sufficiently severe. A Sap Case,—The Aurora Daily Times, mvalmu# a sad wreck of humanity in that town. It says ; From our sanctum window' Can be secti on* of those lost, abandoned wrecks of humanity. He passce through the streets of Aurora daily, ami excites attention only by bis dirty, ragged dress and woebegone appear ance But that man bat a lew years ago. iu an i liter sir town of raitfoniia, had a goodly share of money and properly, aud was living : proudly, happily, iu the midst of his family circle. The bright sunshine of that happy home was soon shadowed over by a dark cloud. The wife of hi# bosom the mother of his chil dren. a young beautiful woman, forgetting ber solemn marriage vows in the sight of Heaven, forgetting ber duty as a wife and mother, abaudeiud heme and husband. From that hour began the downward career of the poor wretch who now stands alone in the streets be fore us. He grew dissipated, neglected his busiue-s. aud in a very short time found him self a ruined man. Such is the life history of one who is seen every day in our streets. It is said that he never sleeps at night. He has no bed no home, and apparently no friends. How ; he manages to sustain life we know cot. A few years and his sorrowful pilgrimage will end in the crave. News of the Week. The operations of tbe combined land and naval forces against Mobile engage tbe atten tion of the rebels at present, to th exclusion of all minor operations. They appear to be as tonished at the rapidity and daring of General Sherman’s movement against that city. Rich mood papers say that ‘ official dispatches to the rebel War Department announce that Sherman arrived at Quitman (Miss.), on tbe Mobile and Ohio Railroad, on the 18th, without opposition, bat he will not be allowed to take Mobile without a desperate battle. His advance was without comparison, the boldest movement of the war. He has from twenty-five to thirty thousand men, and tears np railroads and rail road bridges as be moves along, evidently med itating no step backwards.” Rebel dispatches also say that four more gunboats bad joined Farragnt's fleet at Grant's Pass. Dispatches announce tbe arrival of six more of tbe prisoners who lately escaped from Rich mond, making fifty who are now safe. Tbe Richmond papers say that forty eight were re captured. leaving eleven still out. Within a few weeks, the Secretary of the Navy bag decided to add another fleet to tbe National Navy. In compliance with instruc tions, propositions have been made to construct the new vessels entirely of iron. They are not intended to participate in actual battle. It is estimated that 2.0U0 refugees and de serters have come within the Federal lines since January 18tb. Several lady refngees, who had arrived in Washington from Richmond and Fredericksburg, report that the rebel authori ties, within tbe last month, seized all the meat in tbe Richmond market and forwarded it to Longstreet’a army. A letter from Hilton Head to the Times says that operations in Florida are still going on, and tbe permanent occupation of that State may be set down as a fixed fact. It was re ported that Bcanregard was on his way from Savannah with a large force to oppose the progress of the Federals toward the interior. Through the efforts of Senator Couness, Congress has passed a joint resolution author izing the President to transfer seamen who mar enlist in the army to the naval service. In snpporting this measure, Conoess stated that the Navy Department was ready to send a fleet to tbe Pacific coast for its protection, but wauled crews, the high bounties offered to those who enter tbe military service having operated against tbe navy. This measure, it is bop tl, will remedy tbe evil. The Enrollment Act bas passed both bouses of Congress. Gen. Scammon and staff, who were recently captured on tbe Kanawha, bad arrived in Richmond, and were to be incarcerated in Libby Prison. Lincoln and Johnson.— The Trinity Jour nal, which, a few weeks since hoisted the name of Renj. F. Duller for Vice President on the ticket with Abraham Lincoln, has recon sidered the matter, taken down Gen. Butler's name, and in its place pul that of Andrew Johnson. This is tbe fourth paper in central and northern California which has placed at its masthead the names of “Lincoln and Johnson.” lu doing so, it copies a few lines from oar paper calling upon that paper to “make it Lincoln and Johnson,” and says : "Didn't give us quite lime enough, friend. We have for some lime been settling into the belief that what you suggest would be nearest right, and this week we, 100, ‘hurrah for Abe and Andy.’ ” In closing an editorial on its course io placing Johnson on the ticket, it speaks of that tried and true Southern patriot and statesman as follows : In that allegiance which he acknowledged to the Government of the United Slates he has never faltered. With him the question of na tionality overshadowed all others, and tbe necessary measures which the Administration have thought proper to make use of have re ceived his candid approbation; unlike the sycophantic Copperheads of the North, who cry Union when they range themselves in opposition to every measure of the Adminis tratiou lending to that resnlt. Such a man is worthy of every honor. The position which we have named is not only duo to him, but to the loyal men of the South, whose representative lie is. History will 'ecord the sacrifices which that class has made in behalf of their country; let it not also record that their country was ungrateful. Who comes next? Let the journals favora. ble to this ticket “show their bands,” that the State Convention to nominate delegates to the National Union Convention may know what “the spirit of the press” is upon the subject. We are of tbe deliberate opinion that a large majority of those who have in view a particular man as candidate for the Vice Uresidency are for Andrew Johnson. ThbScprkmf Coi bt —Tbe Supreme Conrt of the United Slates consists of ten judges, to wit ; Taney. Clifford. Nelson, Wayne. Catron, Swayne, Davis. Miller, and Field. Tbe conn try is divided into ten circuits, to each of which is assigned one of these justices, who, in con junction with tbe local District Judge, holds the Circuit Court. It is proposed to increase their number to thirteen by making three ad ditional Circuits, on account of increased bn sioess. The last'Congress added one. Judge Field, of this State—increasing the Conrt two within the last twenty five years. It ts quite probable that the present Congress, before ad looming, will make this increase. From four pans, says the San Jnan Press, taken three feet from the bed rock. $333 were realized; and one pan from the bed rock yield ed 5133 50: and this Irom a well defined lead. San Juan country lays over Upson's Bannock city diggings, Idaho Territory, where the pan yields on an average only So! Thk Union State Conventions of Maryland and Indiana have pronounced in favor of Lin coln's re-election. The Union members of tbe Now Jersey Legislature have appointed a Committee to draft a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, approving the policy of tbe Adminis tration. and recommending his renommalion to '.be Presidency. The Hartford Courant says that persons in Connecticut and the western part of Massachu setts are pulling funds into the bauds of a fit man. who will invest them in cotton plantations near tbe Mississippi river, below Memphis The idea is to demonstrate, by actual trials on the spot, that cotton can be raised by hired The Legislature. Senate.—An Act concerning the sale of uosurveyed lands, an Act to amend an Act to provide for the location and sale of the unsold portion of the lands granted to the State for school purposes, and an Act supplementary to an Act in relation to soils for delinquent taxes, were passed, on the 19th. An Act to divert the sum of 84,000 from the Library Fond to establish District Libra ries was indefinitely postponed ; and the Senate refused to concur in the House resolution to print 5,000 copies of the patriotic resolutions, on the 20tb. Both branches of the Legislature adjourned over, on the 20th, until Wednesday. 24th—to celebrate Washington's birthday. Upon reassembling, on the 24th, bills were introduced in the Senate for a Nautical school at San Francisco, and to tax mines on private lands, and bills were passed granting right of way to canal companies, to amend the Sabbath law, and to allow Provost Marshals and U. S. Revenue officers to carry concealed weapons. Also, Smith’s bill to extend the time for build ing a bridge across Feather river at Oroville. In the Assembly, a bill was introduced amending the militia law, and bills passed to create the county of Alpine, and to provide for adjourned sessions of District Courts. In the Senate, on the 23th, the Committee on Claims recommended the passage of the bill to pay the old Indian war bonds and coupons- Smith introduced a bill to pay the expenses incurred in the Honey Lake border difficulty, and another to amend Act concerning official fees in Bntte. The fence bill, which came from the bonse, was amended and passed. In the Assembly several bills of no general importance were passed. Letter from Cbattanoooa. —We have been permitted to read a letter written by Capt. Sullivan, of the First Brigade, Ist Division of the Fourteenth Army Corps, to his father, Mr. David Sullivan, of this county, and dated Chattanooga, Dec. 23d, 1563, giving a sketch of Uosecrans’ operations from the battle of Stone river until their conclusion at Chicamau ga, and a brief account of Gen. Grant's subse quent campaign. We make a few extracts : We crossed the Tennessee river at Bridge port, Alabama, then crossed Sand Mountain and Pigeon Mountain, and at Dug Gap we over hauled Bragg, routing him with heavy loss ; on our side the loss was slight. About this time, Bragg was reinforced by all the available force of the Confederacy, getting a force of two corps from the Virginia army nndcr Ixmgslrect. On Sept. 19th, we came upon the whole force at Chicamanga, Georgia, where we bad one of the most desperate fights of the war. The rebels outnumbered us at least three to one; and, af ter three days hard fighting, we cut oar way through them and got to Chattanooga. I will tell you how we managed to avoid being cap tured. At several different times, our Brigade would charge the woods or any place where the rebels made their appearance—and gener ally there would be a Division of them together —when of coarse they would be too strong for us, "five to onethen we would have to break and run back four or five hnndred yards, when, we would form again and come up yelling like devils, when the rebels, thinking we had been reinforced, would give way and run; then we would gobble a lot of them in and send them to the rear, but toward the last, we got into such close quarters that we would send them back into their own lines, for, when we would make a charge toward the east and rout them from their position, we would have to turn right about and charge a force who were coming up in our rear. Our Brigade was the first in the fight and the last out, and our loss was very heavy; but I think that I fought over about the hardest part of the field, and I am sure 1 saw three dead rebels to one white man. As soon as we got into this place (Chatta nooga), we began to fortify, and managed to hold the rebels in check until we were reinforced by the lllh and 12th Corps, under “Fighting Joe" Hooker, and the loth Corps, from Vicks burg, under Gen. .Sherman. At the same time, Gen. Grant took command of our whole force at this place. On the 23d of November, we went again in search of the rebels; and. inside of one week, we bad three battles, to wit ; Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and Taylor’s Uidge, in which wc routed the rebels completely, capturing fifteen or twenty thousand prisoners, and about one hnndred pieces of artillery. We bad to take Lookout Mountain by storm. In taking the mountain, our regiment fought about all night; but hereafter I want them to to ex cuse me from all nicht fighting, as it is very unhealthy to be out late at night in this country. Rebel Rams.— The stories of "refugees'' about work on the rebel iron clads having been suspended, their armament sent to Charleston, etc., etc., would readily lead one in (be least acquainted with the rebels’ regard for truth to expect about these days spasms of activity and divers desperate raids by these rams from Jeffs fold.— Bee. Our friend Peleg Brown thinks they don't like the Federal net's age well enough to attempt many “spasms of activity" hereafter. The last issue of the American Flag in Sonora was “ran off" last Saturday. It will 1« published hereafter in San Francisco as a daily and weekly. The subscription list of the Flag is retained by its proprietor, while its place at Sonora w ill be supplied by the Amer lean Eagle, to be published by G. L. Sharrels, late foreman of tbe Flag office. While we hope the "Flag" may “ware" triumphantly, we also wish that tbe “American Engle” may "soar" extensively. Presentation,— A leap year ball was given in Marysville, on the evening of the 18tb inst.. by the German ladies, on which occasion a handsome German national flag was presented to the Turn Verein of that city. The bill to remove the Capital of Nevada Territory from Carson to Virginia City passed the lower honsc of the Territorial legislature by a vote of thirteen to eleven, but was killed iu the Connell by a vote of six to four. A Change.— The lone Chronicle will cease to exist on the 3d of March, and on the 17th the publication of a paper in Us stead, to be called the Alpine Chronicle, will be commenced at Marklceville, the connty seat of tbe new county of Alpine. Mirdkr.—Mary Smith, a prostitute, was found in her kitchen, at San Fraucisco, on the 24tb, with her throat ent from ear to ear. There were evidences of a terrible struggle with a murderer. Tbe bouse was robbed. She was about starting for Washoe, and had con siderable money with her. G. E. Upson writes fr mi Bannock City, Idaho Territory, to tbe General Land Office, that tbe highest vield in that vicinity has been SSOO to tbe pan, and that tbe average yield is ts to the pan. We suppose that the General Land Office believes him.— Bet. Probably Upson means that Si was the —> r «cre "nanoing oot" of a week s work. A tellgbam to San Francisco, onWcdnes- Jay. from Now York, announces the arrest in that city of T. W. Dark, A. A. Selover. and Frederick Billings, on a charge of fraud in connection with the sale of mines on the Mari posa estate. This was a five millions dollar sale. Tut Bulletin says that President Lincoln, in fixing the initial point of the 545.000 per mile subsidy of the Pacific Railroad, has "shoved the Sierras westward.” The Presi dent has great faith—equal to Cushing Jeff Davis or removing mountains, Massachcsetts.— Recently published sta tistics show that Massachusetts has not only promptly responded to her full quota of troops, but has nearly six thousand more men in the field than has been demanded of her. Copper head blowers should dry up their nonsense. At "Drum Barracks” a few days since, says the Mariposa Gazette, Col.O. M. Brown was hung in effigy, and the troops under his com mand are rejoiced at the piece of fan. On the suit of clothes stuffed with straw was painted in large letters "0. M. Brown, Traitor, Col. of Ist Regiment Cavalry, C. V.” Evidently the Colonel is not much admired. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. AList of* Letters. REMAINING in the Pofctofßce at 27. 1864.

For fifteen years I have suffered with Dys pepsia, Costiveness, Indigestion. I have taken a cart-load of pills of different make, but the relief afforded by their operation was at the cost of severe suffering from Piles. If I stopped taking these one week, the old difficulty would trouble me. I at last struck a vein of gold, in Rad way’s Pills—the first dose acted so differently from all other pills, that I hoped for a cure—six boxes made a new man of me ; I am completely cured. No straining, no pita, no weakness followed their ose, I gained strength with thHr use. I have not taken any physic for over a year, and am as ragged, strong and hearty as a bear. James W. Fosdice.
