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,
