ON GUARD.
At midnight on my lonely beat, -When
shadow wraps the wood and lea,
A vision seems my view to greet
Ot one at home that prays for me.
No roses blow upon her cheek
Her form is not a lover's dream
Hut on her face, so lair and meek,
A host of holier beauties gleam.
For softly shines her silvery hair,
A patient smite is on her face,
And the mild, lustrous light of prayer
Around her sheds a moou like grace.
She prays for one that's far away
The soldier in his holy tight
And begs thut heaven in mercy mnr
Protect her boy and bless the right t
Till though the leagues lie far between,
This silent incense of her heart,
Steals o'er my soul, with breath serene,
And we no louger are apart.
So gunrding thus my lonely beat.
By shadowy wood and haunted lea.
That vision seems my view to greet
Ot ber at home who prays lor me.

Of all tho States in tho Union, California hos
less cause than any other, to feel kindly toward
the South. Of all the States in the Union, Cal
ifornia has greater cause than any other to desire
the success of the Federal arms. To the loyal
States alone must we look for th construction
of our great Pacific Railroad. To the loyal
States alone must we look for protection and
development.. Our interests, and our future are
all bound up with the future and prosperity of
the American Republic. It would be folly to
expect aid or kindness from the Confederate
States, even if they should succeed. In the
Union they opposed our admission ; opposed the
building of a Pacific Railroad ; and have ever
been in open antagonism to our dearest and
most cherished interests. In rebellion, they seek
to plunder our treasure and destroy our State.
As un independent power, they would have nei
ther tho ability or the desire to work us aught
but injury. Our interests, then, no less than our
duty and honor, call imperitively upon us to be
enthusiastically and unanimously loyal ; and the
only excuse the California "Peace" Democracy
can offer for their disloyalty is, that their mem
bers are natives of the States now in rebellion.
Must we ever be cursed with that misf rtmi
that our citizens sre sojourners and not residents

The Real Abolitionists.
Whatever may be the result of this war, now
drawing nearer to a close, in tho United States,
it is evident thut the favorite institution of the
South, around which all their public and domes.
tic polity has been made to revolve, will come
out of the contest so curtailed of its . former ar
rogance and proportions as to be hereafter shorn
of all its strength and influence. Heretofore
ninety-nine one hundredths of the national legis
lation, has been specially designed to conciliate
or guard the great slave interest of one section
at the sacrifice and compromise of tho free insti
tutions of another section, whose amazing growth
and prosperity have not been tho result of tho
fostering euro ot a Crovernment mainly admitus
tcred by inoii who have regarded with jealousy
and alarm tho accumulations of the Free Slates,
but have flowed from tho irresistible influences
of a higher and a nobler civilization than that
which has sought to retain empire by clinging to
a barbarous system of servitude, which, howev
er dear to its agents or free from taint of wick
eduess in the minds of those who practice it, is
nevertheless, a century behind tho moral progress
ot the word.
Whatever may have been the immediate cause
of the rebellion, it cannot bo denied that the
struggle which is now convulsing the country
was bound to come, sooner or later. No honest
and thoughtful man can fail io have some sym
pathy with the slaveholder, whose natural in
stincts liava become so blunted by life-long con
tact with tho system of slavery as to lose sight
of or fail utterly to see uny particle of wrong in
it. Men holding views upon tho question of
slavery utterly at variance Willi its practice, may
be so blinded by self interest and prejudiced bv
selfish considerations, as not to see anything in it
but positive gotid. And such men sro to be pitied
and not tib J sed tin J slandered, und if, in the in
stiuctivo desire to preserve their property they
have joined in the rebellion against the Uovern
m en t, it should not be forgotleii that their case
is more one of blindness than of the wilful wick
edness v. t;".-h has characterized tho mass of the
rebels, who have been compelled to engago in
this coiitcs. by tho peculiar character ot that
system of servitude upon which their whole do
mestic, social and political fabric has been built
It is idle to say that if slavery had been let
alone it would never have provoked th's war, for
the aggressive, growing, absorbing and dominant
character ot the institution is such that it must
hold a perpetual lease of tho national Govern
metit, or its decay and doom were at hand. But
tho ramping Union hating secessionist has proved
himself at last to be the best Abolitionist, so fur
as the accomplishment of actual results are con
cemed, which tho world has yet seen. The pres
eut war, diffusing as it has throughout the South
a knowledge of the character of this struggle,
has done much to open the eyes of the ease lov
nig and peaceful class of slaveholders; has stir
red slaves themselves to souiu perception of the
prominent part which their inteicsts occupy in
tho fight; has forever broken tho institution in
tho border States, and has depreciated and des
troyed that p culiar property to tho extcut of
millions of dollars m the States which have here
toforo held to slavery. For nearly thirty years
northern Abolitionists have been vainly trying
to accomplish what has been rushed to uu almost
complete consummation in a single year by the
deluded devotees of an idol before which the
mightiest intellects of the American people have
in tnr.es past, been forced to bow. VV hatevcr
may be the future of the American Union, the
doom of slavery is sealed. There may bo re
construction of tho Union, but a reconstruction
of slavery, surrounded by tho safeguards and
sureties of the Constitution and of national legis
lation never. And tho credit of this belongs
to no northern party or organization, but to the
infatuation of the miserubleincn who have believed
thut a system which is founded upon a direct
violation of Right and Moral Law, could ul ways
exist and bo sanctioned by custom, usage and
legal enactme t. Marywille Appeal,
The privates in tho regular army are taught
four simple signals, which are said to be of
much use in active service. The waving of a
handkerchief or hat in the left hand above the
head signifies " Attend to me," or " Come to
me." Both hands stretched out above the head
means, " Yes," or " All right." Both hands
stretched out downward signifies, " No," or
" Ail wrong." Both arms spread out horizon
tally means, "Stop." A scouting party often
agree upon other signals, suited to the peculiar
objects and perils of the expedition. But these
four are said to be fixed and invariable.
Jeff Davis' message recalls on incident said
to have happened in the war of 1812. A priva

cruiser, gave his men the run of the spirit room
before he hauled down his color ; the effect of
this was manifested in some confusion of ideas,
and one of tho crew, a negro, on reaching the
frigate, saluted his captors with, " You English

A Good Appointment. The appointment of
Hon. Edward Stanley to tho military Governor,
ship ot North Carolina cannot fail to give tho
highest satisfaction to oil who wish well of tho
country, now upon tho ev e of a grand transition
from war to peace. Mr. Stanley is a conservative,
honorable and capable man, and his character has
always stood high in his native State of North
Carolina, ond in his adopted State of California,
where he has lived for tho past ten years. He
was supported by the few Republicans in this
State in 1857 for tho office of Governor, but
