Had the bills contained such a clause Buchanan would have vetoed them, and they had not the requisite two-thirds majority to pases them over the veto. This fact is held up to the abolitionists in the party as a reason for ignoring their platform on that particular occasion, while they are endeavoring to make others believe that it was done of their own choice, The objectof this species of double-dealing, is to catch as many of the Popalar Sovereignty voters as possible, and at the same time retain in their ranks all the anti-slavery element, which constitutes the back-bone of their party. That the Territorial bills of the last session were passed in accordance with the non-intervention doctrine of Douglas, is owing to the peculiar position of parties at that time, and neither the Breckinridge nor Republican parties can cluimany credit therefor. With the question of slavery left open to be decided by the citizens of the Territories, the bills could have been passed over the Executive veto, Had the Republican members united, they could have defeated the bills, but in that event they would have lost the opportunity of rewarding a hundred or more disinteresied pap-huaoters who at that time were hanging round the Capitol after Federal appointments.

A miserable roorback bas been circulating . over the county, the past few days, to the effect that a coalition has been formed between the Douglas and Breckioridge parties, by which certain candidates on each ticket are to be voted for by both parties, other candidates, of course, to be thrown of, There is not a particle of truth in the report, as every intelligent man, who knows auy thing of partisan feeling in this county must be aware ; and from what we can . Jearo, we have no doubt it was started by the Republicans, The story cannot be traced to any responsible source, but the Republican candidates are giving it an extensive circulation over the county, and for ihe time being it seeems to be. their principul stock of electioneering trade. . iy Livso.—From our telegraphic dispatch . it appears that Asutin E. Smith and H. I. ‘Thogpton, who lately left this Ssate, have been arrested in New York. Swith is uodoubtedly the member of the rebel Congress referred to in the Pony news, who is held in custody to exchange for Congressman Ely. Accordiag to the dispatch, Smith and Thornton were elected to Jeff. Davis’ Congress by the late Breckiaridge Conveation of this State, Juwish Synacocux.—The Hebrew citizens Of Grass Valley have purchased an eligiblo lot, on the corner of School and Neal streeta, for the purpose of erecting thereon @ FyMagogue, ns we presume, having ascertained that there was some talk on the subject commenced blowing about it; the same as it announced the necessity of repairing the Court House, after a contract for the repairs had been made, Pony News.—The news by Pony, published in another columa, presents nothing of special interest, Prince Jerome Napoleon had visited Manassas Junction, where he was received with “distinguished consideration,’’ and returned to Washington. The Government is now engaged in orgarizing the vast army of 500,000 called into the field, and it is not likely that any important military movement will be undertaken for some months, unless the rebels should make a demonstration on Washington. Snoorine Arrray.—We learn from a private letter from Washoe, that a shooting affair occurred at Carson City, on the 14th inst., between Augustus Harris, who formerly lived in Nevada, and a man named Julien, Ten shots were exchanged, one of whieh struck Harris near the left nipple and inflicted a dangerous wound, He wa: not expected to live. Julien was not burt. ee a a EE RN Tue birthday of the Emperor Louis Nap:leon was observed, on Thursday last, by many of the French citizens of San Francisco, All the Freneh vessels in port, the Consulate, and the residences of many natives of France were decorated with the tri-color flag. The Emperor was born in 1808, aid is consequently fifty-three yea:s of age. Maj. Woodworth to be sid to General Mc Dowell, Col. Peek, ex-Major regular army. A letter, to-day, from Lieut., Parks, lst Michigan Regiment, dated Richmond, July 29th, says he is a prisoner with hundreds of othersin that city, More thao vbirty officers are with him. Late this evening, Prince Napoleon and suite returned from Manassas, Three regiments of cavalry and four of rebel lofantry are in poseession of Fairfax. When it was known at Manassas that Prince Napoleon was coming, the enthusiagm was wild. Beauregard and Johnston were both there, and received the Prince with the greatest possible respect, All their invitations and entreaties that be would go on to Richmond and see Davis, the Prioce firmly declined. The fortifications at Manassas were formidable, and our guns, particularly of Sherman’s battery, form an important part of the defenses. Beauregard informed the Prince that he captured 62 guns at the battle of Bull's ran. The dead were not properly buried, but simply put under ground—some feet were seen above. The soldiers at Manassas are very humer. ous bat poorly dressed. On departing the . rebels gave the Prince a salute with U, S. . guns. On returning to Fairfax, Col. Stewart, rebel, approached the carriage of the Prince, and said : “I hope you like our fortifications,” Prince—“Ob, pretty well.” Stewart—“I bope you will interfere for us. when you get home.” The diplomatic Prince shragged his shoulders at this, and said: “I know nothing.” Three companies of Kentucky cavalry arrived here this morning. It is well authenticated that Smith, in custody in New York, isa member of the rebel Congress ; he will be held as a bostage for Ely. Wilson of Chicago has permission to raise a regimnt of engineers and bridge builders. . Night before last a rebel steamer attempted to leave Aquia creek and was driven back by the Ice Boat, It was thought the Page, the rebel boat, was injured; the Ice Boat was not struck, The Page carries six una, . The navigation of the Potomac is unobstructed. It is reported that batteries are being erected at White House Point, Wednesday night five boats filled with armed men were seen to pass over the river from tbe west side. ' Several prizes are lying at the wharf at Fort Washington. Telegrapbic communication is being established between this city and the several camps, including Fort Corcoran and Colonel Spermon’s command further ap the river, A dispatch says reliable information is received that the rebels are concentrating at Fairfax and various points between Point of Rocks and Alexandria. There are eight to ten thousand troops at Fairfax. Our officers consider their movements as defensive. It is reported that they intend to engage our whole line from Harper’s Ferry to Alexandria, simultaneously. If this be so they will be foiled, for Gen, McClellan’s preparations are equally available for offensive or defensive actions. He can move forward a whole columo simultaneously upon any given point. The refusal of the Democrats of New York to unite with the Republicans in nominations in the election of a ticket, causes some surprse, as it seems to conflict with a plan supposed to be arrauged here and at Washington for the disintegration of the Democratic party. Surgeon Wood has taken measures for . carrying into effect the late act of Congress, . for adding to the medical staff of the army a corps of cadets, whose duty shall be to act as assistant hospital and ambulance tenders in the field. Gen. Scott has issued stringent orders to prevent transmission of telegraphic dis. patches of the movements of the army, for the past, present or future. It is reported that slaves are constantly . used by the rebels in constructing intrenchments on the Potomac, The rebels are still trying to negotiate . with Indian tribes by promising annnities, . if they will forswear allegiance to the Government. John Ross, Chief of the Chero. kees, remains loyal, and stands in the way . of the enemy. The names of petitioners, presented some days ago by Breckinridge, purporting to cme from Niagara county, N, that the present difficulties be adjusted, are . supposed to be nearly all forgeries, Prom. . inent parties are trying to ferret out the per petratore, . Cairo, August 10th.—The steamer Louis. iana arrived from St. Louis, this pr. m., with a heavy battery for Bird’s Point. Four meo, charged with burning bridges on the . Cairo aud Fulton railroad, were arrested, by two companies under the command of . the Lieutenant Colonel of the 18th Regi-. ment, to-day, near Charleston. A comrayy, called the “Ellsworth Zou-. -_— aves,”’ composed of young men between 16 . and 21 years of age, has been organized in . San Francisco, They number 35 muskets, and are becoming quite proficient in the'r . drill. Y., asking . pryas, Prof. Mitchell, Col. G. Blenker, . » 104 the resistante to be encountered on . the borders of Virginia. The rebels had made almost super-human efforts to concentrate all their available force in Virginia, . and at the time of the battle had not less than 185,000 between Richmond and Washington. The writer entertains no doubt that the rebel troops, amply reinforced, will soon commence a conflict that will vastly transcend in its results, as well as its amount of bloodshed, the affair of Bull’s Rua. He . SAYS: What can they expeet by delay? Every mus* ket in the rebel States is either already in or on its way to Virginia. The writer, from personal observation, knows that several companies recently organized have applied in vain to the Governor of Georgia for arms, He has no more nor can he obtain them. I have seen recently organized regiments at Atlanta, Nashville, Chattanooga, (the last two destined for Camp Boone,) and while they consisted, with some exceptions, of young, ill-clad recruits, I did nat see a percussion musket south of Louisville.— When the reader will bear in mind, besides, that the commissariat for such an army, with corn at $1 25 per bushel, and meat at 20 cents per pound, is a mdtter of some difficulty, more especially as the vast majority of even Southern citizens cannot regard Confederate bonds as money, he will see an additional reason why the South should precipitate the conflict. I will here add one other consideration, which only one who has resided in the South can thoroughly appreciate. In the Southern States the whites are divided into two castes, as distinct as any furnished by Hindostan—the wealthy whites and the poor whites. The present war is peculiarly the work of the former; upon its results they have staked life, fortune, everything of that class; every available man has ew sword and musket, and they will doubtess fight with all the valor that the American spirit, Southern pride, and hate for the North can impart. The entire of that class is already in the field. The second class, the poor Southern whites, take but little interest in the present conflict. From it must come any further reinforcements to the South; and should they enlist, little need be apprehended either from their zeal or valor. hn passant, I may add that the Union men in Kentucky, so far from feeling discouraged, seem to have redoubled their patriotism and zeal on learning our recent disasters. Is is admitted by all well informed men at the South that the fate of the new government depends entirely on the ability of the rebel army to protect the borders of Virginia. Had they met with defeat at Bull Run, there was an end to the secession rebellion. In regard to the sentiments of the Southern people on the Union question, the writer says: In those sections—such as Middle and Southern Georgia and similar portions of Alabama— where the large slaveholders are in the ascendancy, many, very many, would wish to see a reconstruction of the old government, but! no one dares openly to utter a Union sentiment. In Northern Georgia and like sections there are thousands who vepqpeny . proclaim their Union sentiments. As a soldier stepped off the cars at Atlanta, some gentlemen upon the steps of the hotel, flushed with the news of the recent victory (it was Tuesday morning last,) shouted, “Hurrah for Jeff. Davis.” The soldier in re« sponce, replied, “By God, there are a goodmany in upper Georgia who would shout hurrah for Old Abe.” Such districts supply relatively few volunteers to the Southern army. In reference to the feeliug among the slave population, be says: There is nothing that the writer would regret more than the savage and bloody result of an insurrection among such a population; and night after night, when away from his little family, he has prayed God that on his return home he may not find his fond wife and little ones a prey to flames kindled by negro hands. Yet he has noticed at no period in eight years less turbulence among that class. at they are wide awake to the state of affairs may be inferred by the reply to the following question, which was put cautiously and with a purpose to one of that class not remarkable for his intelligence. Addressing a negro who rode a few yards behind me, I inquired, ‘What do you . think of all this drumming and fifeing, Joe ?” “Oh, massa, me don’t know, black man say nothing now; white man cut his head off.

Night before last a rebel steamer attempted to leave Aquia creek and was driven back by the Ice Boat, It was thought the Page, the rebel boat, was injured; the Ice Boat was not struck, The Page carries six una, . The navigation of the Potomac is unobstructed. It is reported that batteries are being erected at White House Point, Wednesday night five boats filled with armed men were seen to pass over the river from tbe west side. ' Several prizes are lying at the wharf at Fort Washington. Telegrapbic communication is being established between this city and the several camps, including Fort Corcoran and Colonel Spermon’s command further ap the river, A dispatch says reliable information is received that the rebels are concentrating at Fairfax and various points between Point of Rocks and Alexandria. There are eight to ten thousand troops at Fairfax. Our officers consider their movements as defensive. It is reported that they intend to engage our whole line from Harper’s Ferry to Alexandria, simultaneously. If this be so they will be foiled, for Gen, McClellan’s preparations are equally available for offensive or defensive actions. He can move forward a whole columo simultaneously upon any given point. The refusal of the Democrats of New York to unite with the Republicans in nominations in the election of a ticket, causes some surprse, as it seems to conflict with a plan supposed to be arrauged here and at Washington for the disintegration of the Democratic party. Surgeon Wood has taken measures for . carrying into effect the late act of Congress, . for adding to the medical staff of the army a corps of cadets, whose duty shall be to act as assistant hospital and ambulance tenders in the field. Gen. Scott has issued stringent orders to prevent transmission of telegraphic dis. patches of the movements of the army, for the past, present or future. It is reported that slaves are constantly . used by the rebels in constructing intrenchments on the Potomac, The rebels are still trying to negotiate .

with Indian tribes by promising annnities, . if they will forswear allegiance to the Government. John Ross, Chief of the Chero. kees, remains loyal, and stands in the way . of the enemy. The names of petitioners, presented some days ago by Breckinridge, purporting to cme from Niagara county, N, that the present difficulties be adjusted, are . supposed to be nearly all forgeries, Prom. . inent parties are trying to ferret out the per petratore, . Cairo, August 10th.—The steamer Louis. iana arrived from St. Louis, this pr. m., with a heavy battery for Bird’s Point. Four meo, charged with burning bridges on the . Cairo aud Fulton railroad, were arrested, by two companies under the command of . the Lieutenant Colonel of the 18th Regi-. ment, to-day, near Charleston. A comrayy, called the “Ellsworth Zou-. -_— aves,”’ composed of young men between 16 . and 21 years of age, has been organized in . San Francisco, They number 35 muskets, and are becoming quite proficient in the'r . drill. Y., asking . pryas, Prof. Mitchell, Col. G. Blenker, . » 104 the resistante to be encountered on . the borders of Virginia. The rebels had made almost super-human efforts to concentrate all their available force in Virginia, . and at the time of the battle had not less than 185,000 between Richmond and Washington. The writer entertains no doubt that the rebel troops, amply reinforced, will soon commence a conflict that will vastly transcend in its results, as well as its amount of bloodshed, the affair of Bull’s Rua. He . SAYS: What can they expeet by delay? Every mus* ket in the rebel States is either already in or on its way to Virginia. The writer, from personal observation, knows that several companies recently organized have applied in vain to the Governor of Georgia for arms, He has no more nor can he obtain them. I have seen recently organized regiments at Atlanta, Nashville, Chattanooga, (the last two destined for Camp Boone,) and while they consisted, with some exceptions, of young, ill-clad recruits, I did nat see a percussion musket south of Louisville.— When the reader will bear in mind, besides, that the commissariat for such an army, with corn at $1 25 per bushel, and meat at 20 cents per pound, is a mdtter of some difficulty, more especially as the vast majority of even Southern citizens cannot regard Confederate bonds as money, he will see an additional reason why the South should precipitate the conflict. I will here add one other consideration, which only one who has resided in the South can thoroughly appreciate. In the Southern States the whites are divided into two castes, as distinct as any furnished by Hindostan—the wealthy whites and the poor whites. The present war is peculiarly the work of the former; upon its results they have staked life, fortune, everything of that class; every available man has ew sword and musket, and they will doubtess fight with all the valor that the American spirit, Southern pride, and hate for the North can impart. The entire of that class is already in the field. The second class, the poor Southern whites, take but little interest in the present conflict. From it must come any further reinforcements to the South; and should they enlist, little need be apprehended either from their zeal or valor. hn passant, I may add that the Union men in Kentucky, so far from feeling discouraged, seem to have redoubled their patriotism and zeal on learning our recent disasters. Is is admitted by all well informed men at the South that the fate of the new government depends entirely on the ability of the rebel army to protect the borders of Virginia. Had they met with defeat at Bull Run, there was an end to the secession rebellion. In regard to the sentiments of the Southern people on the Union question, the writer says: In those sections—such as Middle and Southern Georgia and similar portions of Alabama— where the large slaveholders are in the ascendancy, many, very many, would wish to see a reconstruction of the old government, but! no one dares openly to utter a Union sentiment. In Northern Georgia and like sections there are thousands who vepqpeny . proclaim their Union sentiments. As a soldier stepped off the cars at Atlanta, some gentlemen upon the steps of the hotel, flushed with the news of the recent victory (it was Tuesday morning last,) shouted, “Hurrah for Jeff. Davis.” The soldier in re« sponce, replied, “By God, there are a goodmany in upper Georgia who would shout hurrah for Old Abe.” Such districts supply relatively few volunteers to the Southern army. In reference to the feeliug among the slave population, be says: There is nothing that the writer would regret more than the savage and bloody result of an insurrection among such a population; and night after night, when away from his little family, he has prayed God that on his return home he may not find his fond wife and little ones a prey to flames kindled by negro hands. Yet he has noticed at no period in eight years less turbulence among that class. at they are wide awake to the state of affairs may be inferred by the reply to the following question, which was put cautiously and with a purpose to one of that class not remarkable for his intelligence. Addressing a negro who rode a few yards behind me, I inquired, ‘What do you . think of all this drumming and fifeing, Joe ?” “Oh, massa, me don’t know, black man say nothing now; white man cut his head off.
