A llttlo over n year ago tha American Government was n unit, strong In the directions or l( citizens nnd respected and honored by tho nations of the earth. Now, how changed 1 Tho fell spirits ordisorganiratlonand disintegration hnvo been nt work, the clangor of arm and tho smoke or battle All ths- Unci. Ho.tth Carolina, Die prolidc molhsD of traitor, Inaugurated the fearful work af carnago and' rebellion. And fur what t llecautc iho hated tho lllicral and benign principles of free government. The lime Constitution extendvd over her that ex. tended over tho other Sulci constituting the American Union. TU same general laws protected Iho rights and property of all and no exception was made In her caso. Rhc wni not taxed without proper nnd constitutional representation, nor did the existence of her Mate Conilliotlon depend on tho will or pleasure of (ho Administration. She, like the other fitstcs, was left free to regulate her own domestic Institutions In her own wny and according to her own good pleasure. Hut, nllliougli Sit. iui.ltitU..l ilfjhta wrn vr feclly seen re, discontent rankled in her bosom nnd treason cankered In her heart. Sho must le true to her past history. During the ltev otutlonsry war, when a few patriots, without munitions of war, and without national credit, rerc endeavoring to wring their Independence from proud, powerful nnd domineering Kng land, the authorities of South Carolina made the dlilionorablc proposition to tho Ilritiih ('rncral to remain neutral during the wcr, her condition to be fixed by tho remit of tho war. If the colonies achieved their Independence, why South Carolina wished to participate In the liberties purchased without having struck a slnglo blow to nchlevo them I Magnani mous Slate J fit leader in n wicked, causeless and unholy rebellion 1 1 In 18.T2 she gave another instance of her attachment ond loyalty to the principles of constitutional freedom I She then raised Iho standard of rebellion and revolution, and hud she possessed the power, would have torn the temple of freedom "from turret to foundation stone." Hut tha prompt and decided action of'lhe patriotic Jackson, curbed her rebellious career and brought her buck, apparently to the piths of loyalty and duly. Hut, If wc are to believe the language of her leader;, she has been festering In treason ever since. Certain ill;, that sho improved the Drst favorable op portuntly to set at defiance tho laws and con stltulion of the United Slates. Mora success fuf than ever before, she has drawn Into tie whirlpool of rebellion ten other States. A provisional government was organized by tho insurgents, forts wcro selrul, United States arsenals wcro robbed of their contents, mints and custom houses wcro ritk'd and Iho pro ceeds applied to carry on war against the (ii'iirral Government, Fort Sumnter wos attacked and nrtbel army rent within striking distance of Washington, flushed with the suc cess of the rebellion. What, under such cir cumstances, ought the President to do? Could lso fp!d his arms about hlin and suffer tho re bellion to triumph, without making an effort to preserve the Constitution purchased by the precious blood of the Revolutionary patriots? Jlo would have deserved Iho execrations of tho civilized world had lie thus acted. lib inauguration oath imposed upon hlin the sol emn obligation to protect and defend the Con stitution, Ity his prompt and decided action he has no doubt saved the Union. And be cause he has used the means uecessary for that purpose, ha hag been denounced by scccs MoiilsU and secession sympathisers, with lmv ln; usurped power not belonging to liiui, We arc willing to abide by the verdict pronounced by the Congress of the United Slates upou his actions. And now the question remains, shall ho be sustained In his luudablo efforts to. put down this vaudal rebellion, to maintain tho dignity and unity of (ho Government, and vlodjcatejuo supremacy of the Constitution. Xo have no fears in regard to tho answer which the Amerloau people- will give to this uioiueutlous qutstion.

ThoPlood in California. All accounts agree that Sacramento nnd San Joaquin valleys aro mora completely un der water than beforo has been the caso since California becamo a part of tho American Union, nnd tlw condition of tho weather causes reasonable apprehension (hut tho water must rise higher. Tho valley portions of Iho Stnte had been settled and brought under cultivation by herdsmen und farmers UToro there was n great freshet to establish extreme high water mark. Long immunity from danger encour aged the building or houses, fences, nnd nil the various improvements incident to civilization, on thousands of farms which nro now flooded nnd devastated of thcta improvements. Probably, lOD.OOO people along tho various wntcr-comcs of the Slate nro seriously Incon venienced by tho freshet. A large proportion of this number aro so great losern, that years or labor wll bo required to rwloro their prop erly to the condition' in which the flood found it ; whilo Iho number of people whose prop erly Is all destroyed, must berery great. It cannot bo otherwise, than that thousands ol cases of destitution rxists, without mentioning the well-known condition of the inhabitants ol Sacramento. Tho 'people of San Furncisco uro all alive to this grvut calamity, and share, in heart at leust, Ihtgloom that overspreads tha Slate. This willingness to furnish relief Is on'y limited by Iho extent of opportunity r.ir reaching tho sufferers. Incalculable tern-po-urv b.'iieflUnroJwing rendered, but after ulltffurls hero oro cxlnustcd, thij devastated p irtions of ho country can only bo left to the slow process of recuperation through tho labor and industry of our energetic inhabitants. Thero ure scnv lessons taught by this Ircthct, that may beUurned to profitable ac count. 'J lie )eopli) Qf tho vaeys will hereaf ter know what land Is suflicientv clevalitl in Juatily selection for p'aces or residence and impruvement us homesteads. Thero will b less disposition to fence in the rich valley landi, but other and probably lens expensive means of placing them iu condition Tor culti vation will be ucvlsul. On tho continent or huropo the lauds, although culltruled to the extreme degree posidbje, aro not enclosed, and when that is the system or a country, fencing Is unnecessary, the stock ranges being placed un der such restriction as not to cucroacb upon growing crop?. Sucrnmenlo itscir. perhaps for tho first time, can come to a definite conclusion us to what kind or a levee is rcuuiii-d to place it beyond danger from friture luundatlons. Tho people. Just after tho December flood, raised a consld eruble sum of money towards constructing levees, and fortunately but little tf this baa been expended in fruitless efforts to stavo off tho present Inunualiqn. Jt will probably now be decided that the winter season is no lime In build substantial embunknunls for tho resis tance of water, Tho money on band w.ill bo husbanded until a definite plan ror a complete levee system Is settled upon, so that tho next effort to render the city rare shall bo a final sucevw. ;j bo Slate, if sho can tlud (ho consti tutional power, should Jou In perfecting llu plan, and share tho expense or making the Capital cUy. forever safe.

MeCulloch und Sterling Price have not ucted together us leaders nr the rebellion In Missouri. Among Union men In tlml'Htntc, it is gencr ully believed tlml they had 11 ' falling out" ubuut that time. Thu causo Is comumiily as cribed to the covrurdico 0x1111)11111 by the Mis sourians, which is supposed to lunu dlsgusti-il eldvulrlc lieu. Hut wo learn from ('ol. Mill, bgau, who spent six weeks us a prlsuuer in Price' camp, and during that time was mil nn idle observer of men and things, that the true rensnn or lhe-diS-atlfuetlon ktwren ihew two reln'l chieftains Is tlml Price has lost om fldeiicc In MeCulloch, while MeCulloch, by virtue of his greatness ns n General of the C'oufi derate nrmy, chooses nut to play a sub ordinate part under a General of thu single .5 1 u 1 l- ui .MiN-miri. At tho battle of Wilson's Crirk, McCul nch wus Iho chur in command, nnd it is lohis incompetency that Price nucriln's U disanlcr that Ik'M him 011 thut nceusion. The plan of Iho relu'ls was In atlncl; Gen. LyonV enmp nn tha wry night that Gen, Lyon ut tucked them, Fur Ihls purpiMe MeCulloch ord-rcd all Ihe pteke'a to be drawn tu, and got ec ything in reitdineKS to march. Just then n storm o ruin came up, enveloping every thing in thick ilarkntss. MeCulloch deeidetl In wait till the storm was over, but (ho night continued ex Iremdy dark und tha troops fill uidcep. The pickets wero not ugnlii went out, nnd thu result was iho rebels had not tho slightest intimation of thu npproncli of Lyon, until his butlcr'fs hnrlid their savage missiles among thu rebel breiikrnsl-rups. Col. Mulligan fays It was related to him as on actual fact by some ol Price's officers wl 0 wero in that battle, that un officer, whllo eul. lug breakfast, was Interrupltil by Iho hurried approach or nn orderly, telling lilm to brbg up his command, ns the cnMny wero npprnnc log. " Is that official ?" exclaimed the ofliccr, sta'lowing his culfeo. The next moment a six-pound shot from ono of On pi 11! n Tolii-uV u 113 cut of a sapling near Ids table. " Well, by I" cried the nstonlslud nlTicer, " Muf 's cjfiddl .'" and dropping his breakfast, he ran lo order out Ids men. Price's estimate of MeCulloch is said to be tlml lie Is a dashing Mid gallant txp'oitcr at Ilia head or about fivo hundred men, but Hint ho Is incompetent to handle a greater numlier. MeCulloch naturally placta u dilfurenl esti mate upon iu own capabilities, und hence the disagreement between them. When On!. Mulligan left Price's enmp at Ni'sho, McCnlloeli was there, and it wus un derstood that he would g'.ve, nt the head or his own command, whatever a!stanco ho could. Prlc nt thnt time had only about 15,000 men, nnd MeCulloch a much smaller number They could have been easily whipped by Fre mont, could ho hnvo got them into a buttle, which, howevtr, was not probable. Hits iiv Prkntick. Gen. Pillow was set upas ix rival to Comntondore Ilollins. The General telegraphed to Mrs. GId. J. P., from Columbus, or. tho 7th, saying 1 " I fought four regiments against nlno for four hoars without help." As tbo Federal forces coo slsted of2,G50 mm, all told, Pillow can con jure up" Men In Duckram" as fast ns Holllns can sink invisible ships by his turtle ram, These two redoubtable heroes should be ap pointed to command an ambuscade as tbey can ' lie in wall" so naturally.
