JOIlft K. STRIKER ARRIVED IX MAN Items of Interest. that yon were a resident of Portland Oregon. i f.L Paper Money. i THE SENTINEL; Butter on Both Sides.

In more primitive times, one side was deemed enough to butter. But now our San Francisco merchants go in for both sides and of course have a host of imitators. Grea pains have been taken to convince the public that all kinds of goods have gone up in the Eastern market. They therefore put up the price correspondingly as they say and must sell so much higher to make a profit. They receive their pay in gold and sell the coin for currency to buy more goods- on which operation alone they are at this time making over .70 per less the cost of shipping treasure.

That is one. of the buttered sides. The other is, that by a continued hue and cry they have managed to raise the prices beyjend all Eastern correspondence on a multitude of articles. And so there is an additional fifty per cent. and in some instances one hundred per cent.

With the difference in currency, goods can mat we were unacquainted wun you personally. Old citizens and critics pronounced you a "miff." The lounger on the street corner offered to bet from $500 to $25, that you did not exist. We were disbelieved insulted and bullied into so many affairs," that we forgot to attend them, and our reputation for valor suffered. Each member, of the Sack Club felt agrieved and indignaa t-ly demanded immediate satisfaction witb weapons ranging from -an ox-goad ta a harpoon. We became melancholy, and sought to see you personally, for advice and consolation.

Our search was nearly a successful as that for Guyascutus" by some "Pajaro i- i i people lew jrcura biuud. auu uwi ion iui Oregon. We were in despair. The pressure ji upon us was leariui, ana in an bth uour, wo were tempted, and yielded. We say it with? deep humiliation.

We are afraid, John, if we had published all you sent us, there would have been a funeral from the Sentinel office. We don't want one just now. We would rather wait until there is a tax on coffins. We are so glad you have come back, and will be at the next meeting of the Sack Club. Our table has been covered with hundreds of spurious letters from people who aspire to your name and fame.

No effort except that of the "Original John," can find a place in our columns. We accept your conditions all or none -provided, we can get along without the funeral. Some of the old Chivalry officials of Calj ifornia, and a few others of secesh stripe have issued an address to the Democracy of Nevada Territory.

MAIN STREET, SANTA CRTJZ. FRANCISCO! Ill HIS LETTER TO US. Our OQce in Great Excitement. Etiquette Discussed. DEMANDS AN APOLOGY! I A Meeting or the Cotton Sack Club Soon to come off.

TWO MEMBERS-THREATENED WITH EXPULSION. A Judpre and a supposed to be the accused. ASTONISIINC DEVELOPMENTS ANTICIPATED San Francisco, Feb. 25th. 1863.

Ma. Editor I arrived here from Portland, last week and have just received a letter from my young friend in Watsonville Corn Sack that was in which he refers to your treatment of my last communication, or rather your treatment of his report of the Cotton Sack Club meeting at which he was expelled and which I took the liberty with him of sending to you. He first alludes with indignation to what he terms your insufferable presumption in undertaking to strikeout passages of his report, and then publishing it mutilated to suit your own ideas. He says that you disbelieved there was such a person as myself and that you showed the manuscript of my letter and his report all over the ceuntry, exhibiting them wherever you went, to see if you could identify the writer. Further that you took pains to exhibit the passages you pretended to think it your duty to strike out, to the very persons that you supposed would be offended by them, and that this taken with your efforts to find your correspondent looked malicious.

Now Mr. Editor there are serious charges, for if true, and that I understand the etiquette that governs the intercourse between Editors and their contributors correctly you have violated the whole code and owe roe an apology which I call for You are not personally acquainted with me and I must therefore tell you this much of myself. My business obliges me tc travel far and near throughout our country and I often find myself detained for perhaps week 8 together in a pleasant locality with no business on hand for the time being on huch occasions I mostly employ my time in throwing into shape any thing of an amusing caracter that comes under my notice relating to the community around me, and send it to the Editor of the nearest newspaper for him to publish or not as he may think best. Most Editors to whom I send these little off-hand contributions know that I have a failing and that is conceit. They know that on this account I will allow no man, be he Editcr or not, to add, take from or in any way alter a line of any contribution I send them.

They know it must be published just as I send it or not at all as they may think proper. If I chose to remain personally unknown to the Editor, it is my right to do so, and the Editor is not justified in setting traps to force his personal acquaintance on me, no more than I would have to set traps to force my contributions into his columns, if he did not like them. I have a right to my name, my name is John K. Striker, and no one has a right to publish' anything over that name that is not just as I myself wrote it. My young friend of Watsonville informs me that there is a most important meeting of the Cotton Sack Club coming off very soon.

It has been called, he understands, for the purpose of expelling two members who have heretofore stood very high with the Club. He thinks it will be one of the most interesting meetings that ever was held by that celebrated club. The charge against one of the accused he understands to be pclitical treachery, against the other, social treachery. My business will take me to Watsonville about that time, and if I can succeed in procuring you a good report of the proceedings I will do so, provided your explanation or apology is satisfactory, and that you distinctly accept my conditions. They are, that you will publish what I send you as I send it, or not publish a line of it.

Yours truly John K. Striker, Of Portland, Oregon. We apologize, John K. We did wrong, we know we did. But in mitigation of our offense, we tell you a stranger in the county that never was there a poor devil of an editor so pestered and assailed with such an avalanche of inquires concerning your identity.

Our path was bejet with crowds of men women and children, of all ages, classes and condition of society from the aristocratic snob, to the unpretending Digger Indian, everybody, everywhere, at all hours of the day and night, wero always begging, asking, shouting, screeching, in our ears, Who is John K. Striker Our house was invaded at the midnight hour. Our meditations at Church were interupted, by these curious impertinents with the inquiry of "Who is Striker?" Wo went abroad, but found no relief. In Watsonville we were chased from street to street, and from pillar to post by a frenzed multitude, inquiring of us Who is Striker?" Even the boys on the streets were sure to salute us with S-a-y old fellow "Who is Striker For days, weeks and months, wherever we went, we were saluted with a dim almost infernal of Who is Striker To all these queries we responded The Government has at its command only two resources, for meeting the expenses of existing war sale of its bonds, or the issue of legal tender treasury notes. It is notorious that very few loans can now be effected on terms that would not precipitate financial ruin.

Uuless this can be remedied in some way, and a market be provided for United States bonds, immense additional issues of legal tenders. are unavoidable and if Con-gres feels toj check bank circulation under existing conditions, this Government paper must continue to depreciate at a fearful rate. Already gojd, in your market to-day, commanded a premium over Government paper of fifty-four per cent. At this rate we begin to realize that Hon. Robert J.

Walker was a true prophet of evil when he -predicted a premium of CO per cent. Now look squarely in the face, without dismay, if you can, this exhibit of the result which this condition of things presents with the irresistible logic of mathematics. At 00 per cent premium, he tells usj if our yearly expenses reach $700,000,000 in paper, this woufd command only $280,000,000 in gold, thus subjecting the Government to a los of $420,000,000 cr or deducting reasonably for in terest 6aved on the proceeds of the operation the net loss may be stated at $408,800,000 per annum, from the use of a redundant and, therefore, depreciated currency. Still, paper money is now a necessity. Gold and silver are not in cisculation at all.

They are hoarded, just as they always have been, and always will be in time of war, and especially of civil war. It i.s not the issue of Government paper which has driven specie out of circulation, but the absense of specie which made the legal tender paper a necessity. All history shows that war carries the precious metals out of circulation, and in consequence every nation has been compelled to carry on its wars by use of paper money. We are driven to the same necessity now. There is no use in mourning the fact; it is worse than idle to complain of Government for accepting it, and acting accordingly.

All we can do is to throw around the use cf this paper currency every available guard and check, keep the amount issued small as possible, and drive out every inferior circulation which tends to depreciate its value. Railroad. Railroad affairs upon this coast progress favorably and in this regard California is flourishing beyond all past experience. Not only do the great lines pro jected in the country meet with friendly recognation by the multitude, put the spirit of enterprise has been felt in the cities and will extend among the people. San Joaquin county talks of subscribing $300,000 to the Western Pacific, Santa Clara $100,000, San Francisco $200,000, the San Jose Company El Dorado is anxious to give $200,000 tr the Folsom and Placerville road, and Placervillo ill jrive $100,000 to the same object while Placer county will take several hundred thousatd dollars worth of stock in.

the Central Pacific. The gauge upon this is of much intercut California. The law loft the matter with the President, and he dicided that it should be five feet. This would suit the Pacific slope exactly, for all the railroads in this Stato are just that width, in accordance with law; hence if the gauge remain at five feet, every road in the State can-link on to the Pacific, without any re-handling of freight but some men on the other side of the mountain prefer another and not having been able to control the President in the prciniaes, they have a bill before Congress to declare the at four feet eiht inches. This, however, has not passed, and is not likely Congress will have to adjourn on t'j-inori-ow niht, hence the five feet gauge will stand, and thus will California be greatly favored.

Sacramento Bte. State Treasury Ashley on February Gth paid over to United States Assistant Treasurer Checsman the State's quota of Federal S183.C0G 10. The ten cents were in corn, all the rest in greenbacks; $123,000 were in $1,000 dollar notes. It is stated that in consequence of the transaction the soldiers are to be paid to day in greenbacks, worth in Franciso fifty cents on th dollar, which makes the pay of those, volu iteers six dollars and fifty cents per month. These men enlisted upon the understanding that they were to receive thirteen dollars per month.

They can have no difficulty in fixing the responsibility tor this 'sweeping reduction. We findj the above in the Sacramento Union of the 28th and give it as a specimen of the twaddle indulged in by most of the newspipers which for some, time past have been engaged in villifiing the State Treasurer.

The President has convoked the Senate in executiv session. This is usual at the close of Congress of a Presi- of the first session dential term.

The last days of the Congress which closed Ibis week, were marked by most important events. The foreign incorporation laws of Territory were annulled, and after-'wards "Nevada and Colorado were admitted us States into the -Union, of course with therein, forever prohibited.

A Branch Mint is also to be established at Carson City. Thereafter more coin and less bullion will find its way from their mines to San Francisco. And probably capital will be more abundant in the new State. Besides the conscription act which passed eub-stantialy as has been reported, perhaps the most important measure of this Congress, is the declaration of the foreign policy of the country concerning intervention. If we gather the facts rightly from the loose telegraph reports, Congress tells European nations that the time for intervention is past, and no such movement will be tolerated.

It then declares "the United States are grappling with a rebellion which is seeking! the destruction of the Republic tQ erect a new power whose corner Btone shall be-slavery and that foreign interference can but aid the undertaking, and will consequently be looked upon by th United States as an unfriendly act." Congress has thus uttered in its high, place voice of the nation. It will be both heard and heeded. A mighty nation Las thus spoken to the other nations of the earth, that intervention in the matter of putting down a rebellion among its own subjects will be accepted only as an act of hostility. If in the face of this solemn declaration any nation presumes to meddle with our domestic concerns, it will be a casus belli. "We shall have no intervention.

The forlorn hope of the Confederacy is blasted. Help must come for them or their time Las well nigh come. Just at this juncture the solemn declaration of the Union is heard as it never before has been uttered; while it renews the struggle with its matured power about to be augmented on the sea and on the land, an hundred foldS while its moral stature, in the view of the world, never so grand and unimpeachable as now.

A Liberal Transaction, A few days since it was found that the bell on the Cong. Church was cracked.

The guaranty, which was for ono year had run cut as nearly two years had elapsed. Messrs. Conroy O'Connor, of San Francisco, who sold the bell, on receiving a statement of the facts, offered to send another one on receiving directions for shipping. They therefore make good what otherwise be a loss of $375. In view of the fact that there was no claim upon them, it is a transaction so generous and honorable in these times, as to deserve public notice.

The new bell will be pqt up next week, and the old one returned. It has done good service and has been failing gradually from some latent defect in casting, until a fracture several inches long is now perceptible. In it3 best days, it was heard frequently from five to six miles. Tub Legistature.

The Territorial Enterprise of the 27th February, states that on high authority it made a statement some time since that the mines of Star district yielded no more valuable return than lead and antimony. That statement was denied and reiterated, until that paper determined to find out the facts, and the result has been made public that the Humboldt mines are richer than ever! The parties who started the unfavorable reports, wanted to depreciate the value of the claims, and buy when it was low. Humboldters stood firm and we suppose they will soon be counting their sil-by the ton. More of the Beeswing.
