LOCAL AFFAIRS. To the Home Guards* Archibald Stewart,Esq., of Indiana county, has generously placed in my hands the means ,to purchase a six pound Dshlgron gun,with|ac qoutroments, for the defence of Pittsburgh. I have ordered the same from Knap, Rudd & Go , to be made of the beat metal. To make it the means of stimulating our cit izen soldiers to continual improvement, I have determined to award it to that company of the Home Guards of Pittsburgh or Allegheny which the Committee of Home Defence shall decide is the best drilled. The inspection to take place on the Allegheny Commons or the Pair Grounds (as will be announced) on Satur day, Jane 22d, at 2 o'clock, p. m. If the weather should be unfavorable, the drill to be postponed to the next fair day. Conditions : The Champion (Jim is to be retained by the victors, subject alwayß to oballenge and contest. The challenging party to give thirty dayß notice in the public news papers; after which the contestants must each choose a judge and these an umpire, whose de clsion, alter the public drill, shall be irrevoca ble. The gun to be retained and taken care 01 by the victors, but always subject to the same conditions of transfer to a superior company.

Cameron, of Toronto, Canada, who, although a British subject, is actively engaged for the honor of our country. Col. C., who, by the way, is a clever, accom plished and gallant gentleman, is now at Camp Wilkins, rendering efficient service as surgeon and we are happy to know his skill is properly appreciated. Terrible Railroad Accident. —On Mon day afternoon about three o’clock, a frightful accident occurred on Liberty street, by which Michael Doak, raiding on Virgin alley, was bo seriously injured that his recovery is al. most impossible.

' - There was but little incident in California this week, except the TTnion meetings, which continue to bo held almost nightly in the prin» cipal towns and cities. - The speeches and reso lutions invariably favor a vigorous war policy on the part of the administration until every foot of the Union acknowledges the stars and Btripes. Undoubtedly a large portion of our people who come here from the Southern States sym pathize more or less with secession, bnt the Union pressure is so strong that any opposi tion to it Beoms hopeless, and the fact makes it probable that wo shall have no disturbance of the peace within the borders of the State. The speck of war in Santa Clara oounty, in which the only question involved was the title to six leagues of land, has disappeared through a compromise in which the settlers agree to submit tboir cause to the Supreme Court, and abide the result Several lawyers have agreed to plead their esuae without charge.

A resolution bas been offered in the Assem bly instructing Senators in Congress and re questing our Representatives there to offer California as a mediator in the present diffi • cnliies in favor of a Convention to revise the Constitution of the United States. An exciting canvass for ioeal officers in San Francisco is progressing. The municipal election takes place on the 22d inst The only two tickets in the field are known as the People’s U nion ticket and the Republican Union ticket. The latter comprises the par tisan Republicans, tbo former irrespective of national politics and embracing men of all parties who are sound on the Union question. The People’s ticket will probably triumph. Nkw York, May 27.— The steamship Bins ; has arrived.
