A Bit of Secret History.—It has trans pired that the rebel General Albert Sydny Johnston, killed at the battle of Shiloh, concerted a nice plan to possess the secces- siouists of California at the beginning of the rebellion. He was in command at San Fransisco. At a given time, the se cessionists were to take tlie forts with his connivance, seize the 60,000 stand of arms shipped there by Floyd for that very purpose. San Francisco at their mercy, must have succumbed, and tire rebels would thus have a port iu which to fit out privateers, and would likewise have obtained control/rf the vast treasures of tho State. Tbe fact was either suspected or known, at Washington. Brigadier Gen eral E. V. Sumner was appointed to tbe command in California, and was privately put on board ship at sea, arriving at San Francis'co without previous intimation of bis coming. lie walked, iucognito, to the office of Johnston, informed him that he was his successor, showed him his papers, and demanded immediate possession.— The astouished rebel had no alternative but to comply. In half an hour after, all the guns of the forts were runout on the land side and heavily shotted. The same evening, the 60,000 stand ot arms at Benica were secured. I his brilliant bat qaiet coup d’ etat saved the El Dorado State.—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser,
