SONNE RS: IM IN ORE THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST“I8th. e 4 FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINGOLN. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. ANDREW JOHNSON, —— ~ ems wht erates se ? ee = Ete he ee ee. ht ec cya ae ar ah Pat atetitaetes WasHoe.—The returning tide of Washoeites continues to come in upon us with ine creased numbers. “Still they come; afoot, by stage and team, many of them determin. ed never to retiirn to the country where ‘atocka are down,” and sago brush alone flourishes. ‘Others still hope and believe. that the day will yet come when the glory of Washve will return to her. They look from the darkness of the present to the bright fus ture. : Many who counted themselves wealthy a few weeks ago have been ruined by tho fall inetocks. Not only has the depreciation affected the people and buginess of the Territory, but Californians ‘have suffered and many a man in thie#tate will be financially ruined. A large number of the ‘richest claima of Nevada Territory, although not now at the lowest figures they have reached, are yet far below the prices commanded a few months ago. Hundreds of workmen thrown out of employment-have been com-~ pelled to expend their last.dime. Thia red action which is now ruining, for the presout, the business of Virginia city, is the ins evitablo result of the wild speculations of people in mining stocks. Thatin time businéss will be better in the Territory wenever _ doubted. Some of the mines are doubtless valuable. When the confidence of the pevuple.is restored by undeniable evidence of their wealth, then really valuable mining stocke will bring their full value. People tnust be convinced that the reported wealth of the ‘Territory is real and not the trick of curb-atono stock dealera before they can be induced to invest their money again. IMPROVEMENTS.—Our streets begin to present a greatly improved appexrance.— In the business portion of the town the planking hus been nearly completed. The rubbish is being cleared off, and soon the roads will be unobstructed. ‘The work is mach more substantial than the old planking. ‘Through the entire town sidewalks have been built superior to thuse destoyed by the fire. In addition to these improvements several new buildings are being put up. A substantial house is being built on the site of the Miuers Hotel on Pine street. The foundation for another is being dug en the Hixon lot, Broad street. Quite a number of our citizena are improving their places of business and dwellings. The evidences of the, disasterous fire of last autumn are bes ing rapidly obliterated. The improvement in business and the rapid rebuilding of our city id almoat miraculous, when we remember that the entire business portion of our city wre destroyed by fire, and that too ata time When almost every mining town in the State waa alinost deserted in consequence of the Waabovw and Reese River excitements. Our people.are now returning, many with the purpose of.wnaking their homes here. Tho resources of the county are being develops ed by the daily discovery of new and rich mines. And should the next winter prove favorable to mining’ interests, a year will suffice to make us forget the losses-by fire— proapesity will again-dawn upon us. THe Davis Movement.—Henry Winter Davis, says ‘it would be unwise to contiaue Mr. Lincoln im the office of President beyond the present term.” His reason for taking taia ground is, according to the Old Piute, that Davis submitted to the President a peculiar bill for the reconstruction of the Uaioo, and though the Congressman had beea one of the most talkative supporters of the Administration, the President put ‘this Reconstructivn bill where he did not wish to find it, beheving his own plan the beat. We'll warrant-that if the above is not the true cause for-the Davis movemuot, it is one astrivial. Davis hae always been very uncertain. At thubeginningof the war he was ng the moat bitter in bie denunciation of the Administration. _He ie a vindictive egotietand an unscrupulous poltician. In Congress he was loud in hie professions of love for the Administration, until he was anubbed, and thie was with him, sufficient reasuo for abandoving the Union party aod. ite candidates. 4 Eastern News.—By the late dispatches’ we have the official report of Admiral Fare! . ragut, of his operations in Mobile Bay. The. . report’confirms the previous reports. Secretary Stanton says the Govérninent . hrs an official report ofthe surrender of ‘Fort . Gaines \and the abandonment of Fort Powell, . from Gen. Canby.” Fort Gaines surrendered . Whconditionally, with 56 officers, 818 men, an arinament of 26 guns and provisions for twelve months. The-gerrison of FortPuwell ‘. escaped.

APoint of Rocks correspondeng, under date of August 14th, says: For some time past Gen. Butler has been conning over a brilliant scheme whereith to anndy the ene« my and advance the Union interest in this region very materially. His plan econtemplates nothimg less than the construction of canal at that place which has been hitherto known as‘Dutch Gap, but which will hereafter be known as Butler's Gap, in the direct face of the enemy. When done it will, among other results, by. reason of its situation, compel the rebels toextend their lines of defenses a distance of four miles. -The distance saved to Ga by the digging of the. caval, which is to be fourteen hupdred yards in length, is: seven miles of water in the James river. ‘This’ morning the men eéngaged’ on this work were shelled by the tebel rams, but our gunboats soon drove them away. The rebels have erected a new fort inside of the exploded one. “Nothing additional has been heard from Sherman. Up to the 14th no battle had occurred io the Valley, though Sheridan had reached Strasburg. Lee is said to have sent reinforcements to Karly to enable that General to dispute the possession of the Valley. , Tuer CoMaNcne.—At the rate of progress now made in putting the Monitor together, says the Bulletin, a few weeks will see her afloat. The hull is now put together, though not entirdly completed. The anchor well and overhangings are pur up, the last being about ready to receive the wood backing and side armor overlying-it. Her boilers, anda good portion of heavy machinery, are in the quarters assigned them for dutf® A very correctidea may now be had of the general shape ofthe vessel proper, better indeed than when she is afloat and mostly hid under the water. If the imagination can supply the turret, pilot house and smoke pipe, a very good estimate may be had of the future looks of the Is-to~be. Tne Nicaragua Ruute.—This route has been re-opened and is said to be in good condition. The next steamer dispatched by the Opposition Line will go by that route.— The company have six boats of the size of the Sophie McLean on the river, and two as large as the Chrysopolis on the Lake.— The telegraph is* completed from ocean to ocean, the wharves finished on both sides, and the road said to be well atocked and in good condition.
