Poverty anp Misery 1N ReBeLpom.— Federal agents, whose fidelity can be relied upon, are constantly bringing reliable intelligence of the condition of affairs jo the Rebel States. From South Carolina they bring news showing a terrible elate of things. Ruin aod panic traverse the State. Political, social and financial ruin is actually upon its cotton lords, and positive want —yrim peverty—is beginning to stare in the face many who bave been accustomed to have every wish anticipated by welltrained and observant slaves. Large numbers of the poor whités refuse to fight; the slaves of the seaboard counties are roaming about, regardiess of discipline, and theat ening servile insarrection with all its borrors; famine is impending to buth white and wlack races; the rebel soldiery are burning the cotton on which alone the plan tere hoped to raise movey, even in the dis tant fature; and the mititary and civillians alike ebare in the terrible panic which took svession of the wiole coast when Com. upont taught them bow worthless were its defences in the presence of “ Yaokee ”’ guoners. That ‘all bands sround”’ in the cotillion of Death, in which the gallant Commodore led bis fleet, appears to have SINFSS . involved the Chivalry in one great revel of despair. Such results as these assuredly prove that the instant march of 100,000 men into the interior by Gen. Sherman from Port Royal was not indispensable, in order 1o make the bow effectual. Such a condition of affairs as South Carolina prescots will constantly do oar work, anpopularizing the rebellion, breaking the epirit and pride of its leaders, and opening the way to brilliant Union victories hereafter, to be all the more lasting io their influence. San Boenaventura,—The Alta says that & private letter from San Buenaventura, dated Feb. 7th, states that two persons named Baxter and Hewitt met with difficulty in crossing the Santa Clara river, the latter being drowned and the former having a narrow escape. The whole of San Buenaventura was destroyed by the flood, the town being under water, from one to four feet deep. It rose with great rapidity attaining aheight of forty inches in as many minutes. Every adobe wall in town went down with a crash; houses fell in all directions, and a general stampede ensued. ‘The canon became a whirlpool with the waters, drift-wood, etc, At the copper mine, adjacent to Buenaventura, nearly everything was destroyed—wood. tools, ore and earth are mixed up in inextricable confusion. CoLorep Testimony.—In the San Fracisco Court of Sessions lately, one Vail was convicied of obtaining money on false pretenses baving procured an advance of $150 on a box parporting to be filled with coin to tbe amoont of $500, but really filled with iron filings, &e. An attempt was made to throw out the testimony of the prosecuting witness, on the ground that he was tinctured with negro blood. He swore, however, that bis father was a Portagese and his mother a Scotch woman, the “experts’’ in the case to the contrary notwithstanding. Hise testimony was accordingly admitted, to the conviction of Vail. River Mixing.— Ali along Trinity river where the water has fallen sufficient to uo cover the bare, Joho Chinaman is busy with his *locker.’’ The late floods having swept away much of the rubbieh, and in many instances leaving entire bars Lear to the bed rock, Jobn hase good time crevicing, and we are told they are making from $6 to $20 a day, in many localities, When the river falis to ite usual mining stage we predict tbat more gold will be taken out in the succeeding three months than has been daring aay similar length of time withia the jest five years.—([Trinity Journal. Cuaxcrp Its Cuanwet.—We ‘have been informed that the Mokelumne river changed ite channel about two miles below Pat's . NUMBER 576. Se = a mi ae sea Union Sentingent in the South, The telegraphic intelligence published a few days ago, relative to the Union sentiment in West Tennessee, as exhibited on the arrival of the gunboat expedition, ir fully confirmed. AS8t. Lovia dispatch of February 13th, has the following on the subject: A Fort Heory correspondent of the Missour! Republican says the late gunboat expedition wp the Tennerree river war greeted everywhere with the wildest enthusiasm. Prominent meo came to the boats and said should a Union army come into Tennessee 50,000 men were ready and would cluster around it. Officers of the gonboats say it is impossible to dovbt the genvineness of the greetings. The rebe) press was wholly aoder the control of the politicians, and don’t speak the people’s feelings. The secession element was principally compoecd of the lawless portions of the community, and overawed by its violence the order and Union loving citizens, The following paragraph, from a late Eastern paper, is of interest ia this connection: The testimony of Mr. Ely, just releasedfrom a Richmond jail, where he was visited by crowds of the Southern people of all classes and conditions, is worthy of especial aotice. He asserts thatin that city, the capital of Jeff. Davis’ dominions, and from the first distinguished for its secession fee}ings, there isa strong Union sentiment among a large portion of the population. Were the Federal army before Richmond, hundreds of homes would be seen with the stars and stripes ying over them. Under these circumstances, Mr. Ely had abundant opportunity for forming a correct opinion on public sentiment; while bis statements will be received with a different degree of confidence from thove of eome irresponsible “contraband” or deserter from the rebel army. Ifeuch be the; case at Richmond, what may we expect public feeling to be in North Carolinia, Tennessee, Texas, with the highest regions of the cotton States? But, for the time heing Unionists are kept under by the lack of arms, reeources and unity among themeelves; while the enemy is armed to the teeth, and desperate from conscious guilt and merited punishment, Anotbern Eastern paper, in giving some of the incidents related by prisoners who were confined at Richmond, and referring to acts of cruelty practiced on them, says: But there is, for the honor of humanity, a brigbter side also. The prisoners all concur in the statement that they were occasionally visited by ladies, who never failed to leave behind some token of their ‘angel visits,’’ They brought them cakes, jellies and other delicacies; and often when the stern sentinels would refase them admission the would seize the presented bayonet with their little hands, turn it aside, and, thus eluding the guard, make their visit. Other ladies, in riding past in their carriages, threw boquete of flowers in at the windows. One lady, with two beautiful daughters, is particularly mentioned as having been kind tothe prisonere. Some of the prisoners, under a guard, were allowed to go toa spring for water. The guard remaining at some distance, women woald occasionally meet them at the spring. One of theee women told them that she bad a Union fla concealed in her house, and that if the Union troops came to Richmond she wonld display it from her housetop. Tue Corron Trape wirn Mexico—The editorial correspondent of the’ New Orleans Picayune writes ae follows of a late visit to Braunfels, Texas: 1 was astonished to see the life and bartle in New Braafels; cotton coming in and cotton going out; cotton here, cotton there, everywhere. The enterprising house of F. Moreau is purchasing largely for the Mexicao market, making all payments in Mexican dollare, and there is no lack of hard curreocy in Comal county. Cotton is han)ed in American wagons and Mexican carte; the roads are lively with the sharp cracks of drivers’ whips as they jog along towards Bar, destroying the most valuable portion . the Rio Grande. ot the fine ranch of J.

Poverty anp Misery 1N ReBeLpom.— Federal agents, whose fidelity can be relied upon, are constantly bringing reliable intelligence of the condition of affairs jo the Rebel States. From South Carolina they bring news showing a terrible elate of things. Ruin aod panic traverse the State. Political, social and financial ruin is actually upon its cotton lords, and positive want —yrim peverty—is beginning to stare in the face many who bave been accustomed to have every wish anticipated by welltrained and observant slaves. Large numbers of the poor whités refuse to fight; the slaves of the seaboard counties are roaming about, regardiess of discipline, and theat ening servile insarrection with all its borrors; famine is impending to buth white and wlack races; the rebel soldiery are burning the cotton on which alone the plan tere hoped to raise movey, even in the dis tant fature; and the mititary and civillians alike ebare in the terrible panic which took svession of the wiole coast when Com. upont taught them bow worthless were its defences in the presence of “ Yaokee ”’ guoners. That ‘all bands sround”’ in the cotillion of Death, in which the gallant Commodore led bis fleet, appears to have SINFSS . involved the Chivalry in one great revel of despair. Such results as these assuredly prove that the instant march of 100,000 men into the interior by Gen. Sherman from Port Royal was not indispensable, in order 1o make the bow effectual. Such a condition of affairs as South Carolina prescots will constantly do oar work, anpopularizing the rebellion, breaking the epirit and pride of its leaders, and opening the way to brilliant Union victories hereafter, to be all the more lasting io their influence. San Boenaventura,—The Alta says that & private letter from San Buenaventura, dated Feb. 7th, states that two persons named Baxter and Hewitt met with difficulty in crossing the Santa Clara river, the latter being drowned and the former having a narrow escape. The whole of San Buenaventura was destroyed by the flood, the town being under water, from one to four feet deep. It rose with great rapidity attaining aheight of forty inches in as many minutes. Every adobe wall in town went down with a crash; houses fell in all directions, and a general stampede ensued. ‘The canon became a whirlpool with the waters, drift-wood, etc, At the copper mine, adjacent to Buenaventura, nearly everything was destroyed—wood. tools, ore and earth are mixed up in inextricable confusion. CoLorep Testimony.—In the San Fracisco Court of Sessions lately, one Vail was convicied of obtaining money on false pretenses baving procured an advance of $150 on a box parporting to be filled with coin to tbe amoont of $500, but really filled with iron filings, &e. An attempt was made to throw out the testimony of the prosecuting witness, on the ground that he was tinctured with negro blood. He swore, however, that bis father was a Portagese and his mother a Scotch woman, the “experts’’ in the case to the contrary notwithstanding. Hise testimony was accordingly admitted, to the conviction of Vail.

Se = a mi ae sea Union Sentingent in the South, The telegraphic intelligence published a few days ago, relative to the Union sentiment in West Tennessee, as exhibited on the arrival of the gunboat expedition, ir fully confirmed. AS8t. Lovia dispatch of February 13th, has the following on the subject: A Fort Heory correspondent of the Missour! Republican says the late gunboat expedition wp the Tennerree river war greeted everywhere with the wildest enthusiasm. Prominent meo came to the boats and said should a Union army come into Tennessee 50,000 men were ready and would cluster around it. Officers of the gonboats say it is impossible to dovbt the genvineness of the greetings. The rebe) press was wholly aoder the control of the politicians, and don’t speak the people’s feelings. The secession element was principally compoecd of the lawless portions of the community, and overawed by its violence the order and Union loving citizens, The following paragraph, from a late Eastern paper, is of interest ia this connection: The testimony of Mr. Ely, just releasedfrom a Richmond jail, where he was visited by crowds of the Southern people of all classes and conditions, is worthy of especial aotice. He asserts thatin that city, the capital of Jeff. Davis’ dominions, and from the first distinguished for its secession fee}ings, there isa strong Union sentiment among a large portion of the population. Were the Federal army before Richmond, hundreds of homes would be seen with the stars and stripes ying over them. Under these circumstances, Mr. Ely had abundant opportunity for forming a correct opinion on public sentiment; while bis statements will be received with a different degree of confidence from thove of eome irresponsible “contraband” or deserter from the rebel army. Ifeuch be the; case at Richmond, what may we expect public feeling to be in North Carolinia, Tennessee, Texas, with the highest regions of the cotton States? But, for the time heing Unionists are kept under by the lack of arms, reeources and unity among themeelves; while the enemy is armed to the teeth, and desperate from conscious guilt and merited punishment, Anotbern Eastern paper, in giving some of the incidents related by prisoners who were confined at Richmond, and referring to acts of cruelty practiced on them, says: But there is, for the honor of humanity, a brigbter side also. The prisoners all concur in the statement that they were occasionally visited by ladies, who never failed to leave behind some token of their ‘angel visits,’’ They brought them cakes, jellies and other delicacies; and often when the stern sentinels would refase them admission the would seize the presented bayonet with their little hands, turn it aside, and, thus eluding the guard, make their visit. Other ladies, in riding past in their carriages, threw boquete of flowers in at the windows. One lady, with two beautiful daughters, is particularly mentioned as having been kind tothe prisonere. Some of the prisoners, under a guard, were allowed to go toa spring for water. The guard remaining at some distance, women woald occasionally meet them at the spring. One of theee women told them that she bad a Union fla concealed in her house, and that if the Union troops came to Richmond she wonld display it from her housetop. Tue Corron Trape wirn Mexico—The editorial correspondent of the’ New Orleans Picayune writes ae follows of a late visit to Braunfels, Texas: 1 was astonished to see the life and bartle in New Braafels; cotton coming in and cotton going out; cotton here, cotton there, everywhere. The enterprising house of F. Moreau is purchasing largely for the Mexicao market, making all payments in Mexican dollare, and there is no lack of hard curreocy in Comal county. Cotton is han)ed in American wagons and Mexican carte; the roads are lively with the sharp cracks of drivers’ whips as they jog along towards Bar, destroying the most valuable portion . the Rio Grande. ot the fine ranch of J.
