Stevenson any tue New York Vor unrekns.--As soon as Col, Stevenson was nominated for the only State office to be voted for this fall the Traneeript, trae to ite instincts, commenced its congenial work of villification. In ils yesterduy’s issue it charges that Col, Stevenson ie only known to the public “as havirg been acenred of stupendions election frands in New York city, escaping f om justice, and leading aregiment of the most abandoned men that the sinks of the cities could produce,” A more villainons slander never originated in the depraved mind of an unprincipled politiean, and it does not argue very well for the canse the Transcript is supporting, if it has to be sustained by villifying wn entire regiment of American volunteers, Gol. Stevencson’s regiment war mostly enlisted in the rural districts of New York, who were sent out at the beginving of the Mexican war to hold possession of California. We were in California at the time and had opportunities of heeoming acquainted with a majority of officers and men of the regiment, aod have no hesitation in saying that, tukea ae a body, they would compare favorably with the best regiments ever enlisted in the American service. The charge that Col, Stevenson was a fagitive from justice ia too absurd for velief. The Governor of New York was opposed to Cul. Stevenson in politics, and itis not reasonable that the Governor wonld have appointed a political enemy, charged with crimes, to the command of a regiment. Vickspuna Caprurep.—A dispatch from Chicago, of the 5th inet., states that Vicksburg has been captured. After two days’ bombardment of the town and surrounding batteries, during which the place was partially destroyed, the city surrendered to our forces. No further particulars are giv n. The capture of Vicksburg opens the Mississippi from the source to the mouth. Movements or Bisnor Simrson.—The Christian Advocate (Methodist) states that the Rev. M. Simpson, D. D., who arrived by the steamer from New York on Thursday, the 26th ult., though not in good health, has entered at once with spirit upon the work for which he has come to our shores, He preached on Sabbath morning last with great acceptance, to an overflowing congregation, in the Folsom street-church, and on Monday started up the country.

Free me a ee Beauties of THE Granp Jury System. —aAn Illinois paper speaks as follows of the working of the present Grand Jury system in that State. The remarks can be universally applied: “After the ame juries had thrown out a large share of their business, because they deemed the prosecution impolite for want of character or evidence in 1861, by actual returns made, they sent into court, in this state, for trial 4,682 indictments. of which there were only six hundred and eighty-two tried, and of se only three hundred and thirty convictions were the result.” Tne Styx or Canson.—A gentleman just in from Humboldt Slough informs us that in consequence of the confluence of the Humboldt and Carson rivers, the lake at the Sink of the Carson is much larger than formerly, bein abgut 40 miles in length * thirty in breadth. The entire waters of the unboldt now flow across a portion of the Forty-Mile Desert, and sy ty aiee the Carson.-[Territorial Enterprise, 2d inst. , eer centerpiece Suicipe.— Daniel Morris, formerly from Towa, late of Shasta county, committed suicide on the Sth of July, at the house of Frank Herr, Shasta Valley, by shooting himself in the head with a shot gun. Insanity, superinduced by neuralgia in the head, is supposed to be the cause, A MAN named Robert Crouse had his left arm and hand badly shattered by the premature discharge a cannon, at Daylor’s Ranch, on the Fourth of July. The next morning bis arm was amputated by Drs, Simmons, of Saeramento, and: Gibbs, of Daylor’s Ranch. DrowNep.—A man named Jas, R.

Average rate of interest paid on the entire debt— 4 354 1000 per annum, At the time Lincoln was inangurated the public debt amouuted to about seventy three and a half millions, The war really commenced about the middle of April 1861, and wa thus find that in thirteen and a half months of war there bas been added to the national debt aboat four handred and eighteen millions of dollars, which is a trifle over one million aday., At the same rate . of expenditare up to the first of the present . month, the close of the fivcal year the, debt would have amounted to within a fraction . of five handred and twenty five millions, which is about eight millions more than the . estimate of the Secretary of the Trensury, in his annual report submitted in December last. Considering the maguitude of the ex penditures, and the uncertainly as to the umount of r'venue, consequent upon the unsettled condition of the country, the esti wate of Mr, Chase is nearer the actual result than could have been expected. He alsu submitted an estimate of what the debi would be on the first of July 1863, provided the war lasted until that time, and was conducted on the scale contemplated six mouths ago; and according to his figures the debi would be something less than a thousand millions atthe end of another fiscal year, Even after the rebellion as a military power is crushed, if it ever is crushed, heavy ex penditures will be required to settle claims growing out of the war, and a large force will have to be kept up, perhaps for years, . to put down guerillas, eo that, taking the most favorable view, we cannot expect the public debt will be less than a thousand . iwnillions by the time the country is again quiet, aud it may amount to a larger sum, . From Anizona.—A dispatch from Los. Angeles, of July 3d, say: Letters received from ‘Tucson, dated 17th of . June, state that Capt. Fritz, of the California . Volunteers, arrived at Tucson on the 16th with twenty-one rebels captured at the Patagonia silver mines. Among them was Lieut. Mowry, who was charged with furnishing amunition and supplies to the enemy. He was surroun. ded by quite a number of desperadoes and in-. tended to make a desperate defense, but they were completely surprised and taken by Capt. Fritz. The prisoners will be brought to Fort Yuma. Gen Carleton wasreturning to Yuma. A part of the command have moved on towards Messilla, The army is all in good health.

Dispatches were reeeived from the East yesterday, giving further parti¢nlars of the last three days’ fighting near Riehmond. The fight on Tuesday was the seventh day of almost cootinnons battle, The accoun! ie given ina Washington dispatch of the : On Sunday morning, (June 29th) the corps under Generals Sumner and Franklin were left in the works at Fair Oaks,with instructions to evacuate and protect baggage and supply trains on their way to James river, They had hardly left their position, and were falling back on the railraad and the Williamsburg turnpike road, when a large force of rebels made their appearance and started in pursuit, So rapidly did the rebels approach that our officers had reccive them before they were upon us. The and the battle lasted till dark, during which the enemy suffered terribly. advancing in solid columns within a short distance of our artillery The effect of our guns upon their ranks was fearful. At dark the enemy were repulsed and forced to abandon their position, On Monday morning the enemy came up . boldly, having been heavily reinforced, and . about three o’clock it was evident that some portion of our lines must give way, as the rebels kept bringing up fresh men into action. Our troops in front of the bridge fell back to within three miles of Turkey Island, where the fight was renewed shortly after. It was contin. ued with the greatest determination on both . sides. The loss on Monday was very heavy on . the part of both Federals and rebels. During . the fight the greater portion of our stores and . cattle were taken overto Turkey Island for safety. The fight was renewed by the rebles early on Tuesday morning, evidently intending to crush our army, The fight lasted three hours, with The rebels then retired and left the field to our troops. They again advanced, however, at about three o’clock in the afternoon, in considerable force, but retired on being shelled by our gunboats and artillery, for about two hours, without coma ee ing near enough for musketry. The loss of our army during these severe engagements is not known—20,000 is as near an estimmte as can at present be gained of our killed, wounded and missing. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded far exceeds tliat of our army; we have taken above 700 prisoners. The loss in field artillery is about 30 pieces Gen, Reynolds, Penn., and Capt. Kingsbury of his staff were taken prisoners, also Gen. Mead, Penn. severely wounded; Gen. Gen, Sumner and Heintzelman both slightly wounded in the left arm, but never left the field. Gen. McCall was seen to fall from his horse—injuries unknown. Gen. Joselyn, of Penn. killed; Capt. Campbell of the 5th we ag! cavalry killed, McClellan encamped on light rolling ground on the banks of James river, 15 miles from Richmond. The commanding General was confident of successfully resisting any attack. The reinforcements the rebels received from Beauregard and Jackson, gave them a force . double that of our army, engaged in the battle Wasutnoron, July 5.— Dispatches from McClellan, dated at 1 o’clock, a M., July 4th, says no fighting has occurred since Tuesday night, when the enemy was repulsed with great slaughter. Tue Srory or oNE REGIMENT.—When the Maine 11th passed through Broadway last Novernber, the ‘ Hallelujah Chorus” chanted by 850 sturdy fellows, few persons who saw them would have anticipated that those tall lumbermen would, within a twelvemonth, be almost decimated, Arriving in Washington they built those famous barracks which were visited by so many strangers; but in spite of the fine shelter, the typhoid was soon busy in their ranks, . and when they wentdown with Casey’s division they were only 750 strong; one eighth died of disease. While on the Peninsula they lived on hard biscuit and water for five weeks, owing to the inefficiency or rasculity of some one, so that when they took up the double quick for Williamsburg, the men fell on the road and died from sheer exaustion. At the battle of Fair Oaks they numbered, fit for duty, only 180 men. One-half of this number were in action, and were nearly all killed and wounded.—[N. Y. Post. SrEctIMEN JACKASSES.—A certain divine living in an obscure California town, is a strong Union man, and of course supports the war. Not long since said divine indulged in a speculative lecture in which he promulgated the idea that quite probably the war will result in the overthrow of slavery, and still indulged in his speculations and theorizings he barely intimated that the present troubled condition of affairs in. Europe as well as in America may, lobe authority of the Pope of Rome. At this hint some scribbling jackass speaks and rushes into print braying: “There we have it authori tively anounced! this war is waged forthe express purpose of overthrowing slavery and Catholicism and everything!” Oh! oh! Of course an obscure speculative hint, made by a village parson, as to his ideas of effects to flow from certain causes settles the whole aim and character of the war inthe mind of the scribbling jackass !—[S, F, Journal .

Average rate of interest paid on the entire debt— 4 354 1000 per annum, At the time Lincoln was inangurated the public debt amouuted to about seventy three and a half millions, The war really commenced about the middle of April 1861, and wa thus find that in thirteen and a half months of war there bas been added to the national debt aboat four handred and eighteen millions of dollars, which is a trifle over one million aday., At the same rate . of expenditare up to the first of the present . month, the close of the fivcal year the, debt would have amounted to within a fraction . of five handred and twenty five millions, which is about eight millions more than the . estimate of the Secretary of the Trensury, in his annual report submitted in December last. Considering the maguitude of the ex penditures, and the uncertainly as to the umount of r'venue, consequent upon the unsettled condition of the country, the esti wate of Mr, Chase is nearer the actual result than could have been expected. He alsu submitted an estimate of what the debi would be on the first of July 1863, provided the war lasted until that time, and was conducted on the scale contemplated six mouths ago; and according to his figures the debi would be something less than a thousand millions atthe end of another fiscal year, Even after the rebellion as a military power is crushed, if it ever is crushed, heavy ex penditures will be required to settle claims growing out of the war, and a large force will have to be kept up, perhaps for years, . to put down guerillas, eo that, taking the most favorable view, we cannot expect the public debt will be less than a thousand . iwnillions by the time the country is again quiet, aud it may amount to a larger sum, . From Anizona.—A dispatch from Los. Angeles, of July 3d, say: Letters received from ‘Tucson, dated 17th of . June, state that Capt. Fritz, of the California . Volunteers, arrived at Tucson on the 16th with twenty-one rebels captured at the Patagonia silver mines. Among them was Lieut. Mowry, who was charged with furnishing amunition and supplies to the enemy. He was surroun. ded by quite a number of desperadoes and in-. tended to make a desperate defense, but they were completely surprised and taken by Capt. Fritz. The prisoners will be brought to Fort Yuma. Gen Carleton wasreturning to Yuma. A part of the command have moved on towards Messilla, The army is all in good health.

Dispatches were reeeived from the East yesterday, giving further parti¢nlars of the last three days’ fighting near Riehmond. The fight on Tuesday was the seventh day of almost cootinnons battle, The accoun! ie given ina Washington dispatch of the : On Sunday morning, (June 29th) the corps under Generals Sumner and Franklin were left in the works at Fair Oaks,with instructions to evacuate and protect baggage and supply trains on their way to James river, They had hardly left their position, and were falling back on the railraad and the Williamsburg turnpike road, when a large force of rebels made their appearance and started in pursuit, So rapidly did the rebels approach that our officers had reccive them before they were upon us. The and the battle lasted till dark, during which the enemy suffered terribly. advancing in solid columns within a short distance of our artillery The effect of our guns upon their ranks was fearful. At dark the enemy were repulsed and forced to abandon their position, On Monday morning the enemy came up . boldly, having been heavily reinforced, and . about three o’clock it was evident that some portion of our lines must give way, as the rebels kept bringing up fresh men into action. Our troops in front of the bridge fell back to within three miles of Turkey Island, where the fight was renewed shortly after. It was contin. ued with the greatest determination on both . sides. The loss on Monday was very heavy on . the part of both Federals and rebels. During . the fight the greater portion of our stores and . cattle were taken overto Turkey Island for safety.

The fight was renewed by the rebles early on Tuesday morning, evidently intending to crush our army, The fight lasted three hours, with The rebels then retired and left the field to our troops. They again advanced, however, at about three o’clock in the afternoon, in considerable force, but retired on being shelled by our gunboats and artillery, for about two hours, without coma ee ing near enough for musketry. The loss of our army during these severe engagements is not known—20,000 is as near an estimmte as can at present be gained of our killed, wounded and missing. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded far exceeds tliat of our army; we have taken above 700 prisoners. The loss in field artillery is about 30 pieces Gen, Reynolds, Penn., and Capt. Kingsbury of his staff were taken prisoners, also Gen. Mead, Penn. severely wounded; Gen. Gen, Sumner and Heintzelman both slightly wounded in the left arm, but never left the field. Gen. McCall was seen to fall from his horse—injuries unknown. Gen. Joselyn, of Penn. killed; Capt. Campbell of the 5th we ag! cavalry killed, McClellan encamped on light rolling ground on the banks of James river, 15 miles from Richmond. The commanding General was confident of successfully resisting any attack. The reinforcements the rebels received from Beauregard and Jackson, gave them a force . double that of our army, engaged in the battle Wasutnoron, July 5.— Dispatches from McClellan, dated at 1 o’clock, a M., July 4th, says no fighting has occurred since Tuesday night, when the enemy was repulsed with great slaughter. Tue Srory or oNE REGIMENT.—When the Maine 11th passed through Broadway last Novernber, the ‘ Hallelujah Chorus” chanted by 850 sturdy fellows, few persons who saw them would have anticipated that those tall lumbermen would, within a twelvemonth, be almost decimated, Arriving in Washington they built those famous barracks which were visited by so many strangers; but in spite of the fine shelter, the typhoid was soon busy in their ranks, . and when they wentdown with Casey’s division they were only 750 strong; one eighth died of disease. While on the Peninsula they lived on hard biscuit and water for five weeks, owing to the inefficiency or rasculity of some one, so that when they took up the double quick for Williamsburg, the men fell on the road and died from sheer exaustion. At the battle of Fair Oaks they numbered, fit for duty, only 180 men. One-half of this number were in action, and were nearly all killed and wounded.—[N. Y. Post. SrEctIMEN JACKASSES.—A certain divine living in an obscure California town, is a strong Union man, and of course supports the war. Not long since said divine indulged in a speculative lecture in which he promulgated the idea that quite probably the war will result in the overthrow of slavery, and still indulged in his speculations and theorizings he barely intimated that the present troubled condition of affairs in. Europe as well as in America may, lobe authority of the Pope of Rome. At this hint some scribbling jackass speaks and rushes into print braying: “There we have it authori tively anounced! this war is waged forthe express purpose of overthrowing slavery and Catholicism and everything!” Oh! oh! Of course an obscure speculative hint, made by a village parson, as to his ideas of effects to flow from certain causes settles the whole aim and character of the war inthe mind of the scribbling jackass !—[S, F, Journal .
