CALIFORNIAN COMMISSIONED - We understand that George W. SICKLES, lately a mining superintendent in Washoe and more recently from Arizona, has been offered a commission as Lieutenant Colonel in a New York Regiment and leaves for the East on the steamer of the 23d instant. He is an old Californian and, we believe, a relative of Gen. Daniel E. SICKLES.
