Burnside was already in that neighborhood; Pope’s forces could have reached there by the 2lst if they met with no disaster; but if any considerable number of McCiellan’s army were there, they must bave commenced the evacuation of their position on James river several days before any mention was made of the move mont. The guerillas are still carrying oo operations vigorously in Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri, with varying results. A Federal victory in Virginia would have the effect to discourage and scatter the most of these bands; but otherwise, they will continue their depredations until the most of the desperadoes are killed off. From tuk Nortukrn Mings.—We beve jately been shown a oumber of private lettere, written by parties in the northern mines to friends in Nevada, Mr. J. B, Newman writes from Lewiston, Aug. 11th, that there was anew excitement in regard to gold discoveries op Payette river, near the Salmon. He was of the opinion there ‘was some foundation for the excitement, but says there are enough there to takecare of all the gold that may be taken out, and woulda’t advise arush there from California, Mr. Robert Noble writes from the Cariboo country, July 4th that there are some rich diggings both on Williams’ and Antler’s oreeks, that many companies are doing. well, but for new comers it is the the handest countsy he ever saw Prospect. ing is very expensive, the creeks being deep and wide, and many are leaving completely disgueted with the country.

BY TELEGRAPH,. [SPECIAL TO tHE DEMOCRAT.} San Fraxcisco, Aug. 23. The Union nominating Cevventiva reassembled last evening, asd refused to reconsidder the nominations of Abel and Whiting, as candidates for the Senate. W.R. Wheaton was nominated as the twelfth aod last candidate for the Assetnbly; whereupon the Convention adjourned until next Monday evening. The Colton Union Democratic Convention also met last evening. G. T. Sharp, A. H. Hallub, Joha O, Hanscom, Daniel Rogers, E. B. Cotter, Alfred Indale, B. J. Brodsoo, A. J. Schroder and Chas 8S. Whitney, were nominated for the Assembly. Lorenzo Sawyer was nominated for Judge. The Eartern line is working to-day. Nothing of importance was received except the confirmation of the junction of McClel lan, Pope and Burneide’s armies near Aquia ereek. PSOE RRREM EL INNES ANS LOO LE HITT Important Mivitrany Movement Exrxcrep.—Amoug the dispatches received from the East during tbe past ten days, we have had « number of items indicating that some military movement, likely to lead to important results, was on foot, The following, dated at Washington on the 20tb inst., is similar to several iteme that bad been previously telegraphed: Ihave hearda report of great importance from the army. What it is I am not at liberty to state; but t am led to believe that a movemont of the highest importance has taken place. I will send particulars so soon as I feel authorized to do so. The autbor of this item, whoever he is, appears to speak with great confidence thas a highly important movemeut bad already taken place; still it may be nothing more than a seneation paragiaph, put forth with the view of attracting the attention of the people to the future, and diverting their thoughts from the late discouraging operations before Richmond. With our knowledge of the position of the Federal forces in Eastern Virginia it is difficult to imagine any movement that could bave taken place likely to lead to any decisive result, It may be, however, thatthe evacuation of the peninsula commenced some days before any mentiou of it,and that an immense force bas been rapidly concentrated oear Fredericksburg, which is uow ready to march upou Richmond from the vorth. This ia the most encouraging view we can now take of “the situation.” Tue Fate or Favorites.—Dr. Rabe, late U.S. Marshal, is said to have got a long way toward the mountains on his route overland to Washington, determined to “know the reason why” he was so unceremoniously turned out of office by President Lincoln. Samuel J. Bridge ° old-time Democrat, but a hard worker for incoln and Hamlin, who was recently legislated out of office) also leaves for Washington b to-morrow’s steamer, The complaint on whic Rabe was removed, it is understood, charges him with some small cheatingjof the Government, which he sturdily denies. Bridge, on the other hand, was legislated out for saving money for the Government—which he admits —his accusers and Rabe’s being the saine parties, He was instructed by Secretary Chase to enquire into official abuses and extravagances on this coast, and suggest such reforms as seemed practicable. He did make enquiries, found out that the custom-houses at Sacramento, Stockton, Benicia, and other places, were useless, recommended their abolishment, was sustained, made enemies of the Federal officers in consequence, who used their influence in further reducing the expenses of Government by abolishing the office whieh Bridge held! Let others take warning from this example, and never propose economy which requires sacrifices on the part of politicians. In spite of this huge joke, Mr. Bridge has performed a ver creditable service to the Government; and if, when he reaches Washington he can influence Mr. Chase to stop the drayage abuses which really do exist in San Francisco, and also make such reforms as will put an end to the alleged stealingin the Appraiser’s Department, he can afford to let those who bro ht his head to the block continue to laugh at (Bulletin. is expense.— Tut Postage Stamp Currexcy.—The Kastern papers are much exercised in regard to the new device of Secretary Chase for small change—the law legalizing postage and other Government stamps asa portion of the currency. The New York World discourees of this measure iu the following terms, The passage of the monstrous Currency Bill making postage stamps a legal tender for sums at and under $5, has stricken the commercial community with gloomy foreboding as to our future destiny. The amount of silver and copper currency in circulation among the people for change in the United States is estimated at about $60,000,000; and of this amount the prope for the by oe States may be assumed airly at $40,000,000. As this legal tender pacer temp bill contains, we understand, no imit of issue, except the demand from the people, it is, therefore, a bill to issue $40,000,000 to $60,000,000 of legal tender notes for one cent and upward to ninety cents. These are based upon no promise of redeeming them except in a $5 legal tender note. Mr. Chase can now claim, we think, the honor of inventing a financial novelty—namely, legal tender notes for one cent! issued by agreat, powerful and rich nation, om: 4 OVERLAND TELEGRAPH.
