EmancipatioN.—The question of emancipating their slaves is being freely discussed +4 the States of Deleware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, and the propriety of accepting or rejecting the proposition of Congress to purchase their slaves is likely to be the leading issue iu the next election, They reeogoize it ae a very liberal offer on ibe part of the Gevernment—it is altogethcr too biberal—and should any of those States aceept the offer, before the resolution is rescinded, the Government would be bound in honor to pay them the value of their slaves. Delaware is almost certain to accept the proposition, and take measures to emancipate her slaves; but the proposition meets with great opposition in the other border States, and no opinion can at present be formed as to how the vote will stand. It is probable they wilh hang on to “the institution” until all the slaves of any value are sent further south, and then conclade to emwncipate provided the Government will pay a good round sum for the few old and, decrepit slaves that would bring nothing in the market, Slavery. will soon disappear in the border States, and the process of emancipation will hardly be accelerated. by the bounty offered by Cougress. “Tux American Sraresmay.’’—We bave hastily glanced over a work entitled as above, which gives a complete, though nec essarily brief, political history of the United States, from the settlement of the Colonies down to Buchanan’s Administration, The autbor is Mr. Andrew W, Young, a political writer of some vote, and we believe it ia the first work of the kind ever published. The author describes the governments of the several Colonies while subject to Great Britain; the government of the old Coofed eration adopted during the Revolution; the formation of.our present Constitution, and the great. debates which bave taken place under it. To those who would become ac quaiuted with the prominent questions that have agitated and divided the people. into parties, and,bave neither the leisure to stu dy, nor access to, the voluminous debatee iu Congress, the “American Statesman” is an invaluable work. Mr. Traver, the agent for the sale of the work, ia now stopping at the National Exchange, in this place, and will remain here for several days. SmatL Pox.—Late accounts from the northern coast, state that the ravages of the amall pox have been frightful among the Iudian tribes in British Columbia, A whole tribe of natives, pear Port Rupert, bas been nearly exterminated. Forty out of sixty who left Victoria about a month ago, died of the disease, and the sick and dead were left along the coast. The disease is raging very severely at Victoria, Soranum.—A circular from the Patent Office says the results of the cultivation of Sorghum, the past year, settles the question of its practical success, The value of ite product is now counted by millions, One of the difficulties is the want of pure seed, To meet this want the Patent: Office orderdered seed from France, which was dtatrib uted last spring. ee a ee Nortuern Pactric RatLroap.— A bill bas passed the U.S, Senate granting alternate sections of land in aid. of the constraction of a Pacific Railroad on the Northern route. Superior City, on Lake Superior, and’ Pu get Sound, on the Pacific, are named as the termini of the road, anda Board-of Kogineers is appointed: to locate the route, Tue telegraph line has been so oonstantly in use this afternoon, that we have not been able to get a dispatch from below. We understand that the line is up, and that dispatches have been recived from the Kast to-day. Bra Emicration.—A letter dated Des Moines, Iowa, May 14th, says: The tide of a most immense emigration westward continues to pour steadily through our streets. Day after day, and for week after week, we have had aconstant succession of the long emigrant trains, toiling slowly and patiently in the direction of the distant West. A very large majority of this emigration is going to California the balance to Colorado, Oregon and the newly discovered gold mines on the Salmon river, Programme of the Fire Works on the Fourth, The Committee of Arrangements for cel» ebrating the Fourth have procured an e tensive assortment of fire-works, from t laboratory of O. F. Giffin & Bro. San Francisco, for a dieplay on the evening of the Fourth. This, with the younger portion of the community at least, will constitute the most interesting feature of the celebration A gentleman has come up from San Fran: cisco expressly to manage the works, and the exbibition will Jast from an hour and a half to two hours. A sightly place bas been selected on the hill a little east of Esquire Williams’ residence, where the works can be seen all over town, The Committee of Arrangements hare handed us the following programme of the exhibition: At dark, the display of fire-works will commence with a discharge of rockets, which will be followed by an exhibition of Roman candles, mines, floral shells, &c., with small set pieces at intermediate times with the larger ones.

A spiral shaft runs from the center of the capital; on the summit of the wheel is seen the American eagle with outstretched wings, grasping in his talons the olive branch and arms, At the right and left of the main structure, forming wings, are stars, with the words “Union” and “July 4,” on their points; the whole terminating with flights of rockets in honor of the day. Tue Norriern Moxsters,—The theory that the Northern soldiers are monsters is not yet given up by the Richmond pepers, Io the same page in which the Dispatch prints an account of the hamane treatment of the rebel wounded, by our soldiers at Williamsburg, it says, of the soldiers of Bank’s division: Some of the drunken stragglers shot hogs, sheep and other stock on the route, and, selecting a fine joint, leave the carcass on the highway. Poultry was wantonly slaughtered in the farm yard and eaten raw. It is asserted, and has been proven by an eye-witness, that even the dogs, cats andrats encountered on the march of this horde, were killed and eaten with a voraciousness that betokened starvation, Indeed, they had no Commissary, and it is believed that their conduct was attributed to directions from their officers, This trash is intended as mental fvod for the ignorantand deluded followers of the rebel standard. The Dispatch is the only paper which the rebel soldiers about Richmond are permitted to read, A Jotty Goop Fiour.—Captain. Bailey, who was second in command under Farragut at the battle of New Orleans, was called upon for a dinner speech at the Astor House, a few days since. “Gentlemen,” said he, as he nervously twisted his handkerchief into a hard rope and hesitated between his words—*I dont claim any more than my share—we don’t any of us—we all want what belongs to us, and no more. Farragut, he did it—he pianned it all out; allwe had_ to do was to obey bis orders; that’s what we did. As to the particulars, the is it was—was~well,, we had a jolly good B Bay Humpo.pt River CuHanoino its Course. ~The Garson City Age has the following: We have heard rumors for several weeks past that the Humboldt river has, since the last freshets, changed its course so as to run into the Sink of the Carson. We imaging that, had there been any truth in the report, our numerous correspondents in the mining districts in the vicinity of the Humboldt river, would have advised us of it ere this Lost Tuer Lives.—By a private letter re. ceived here we learnthat about the 15th of May last,a Mr. Silvers and a Mr. Jacobs, residents of Scott Valley, were drownad, near Florence city, by the upsetting of a oanoe,while crossing the Salmon river. Mr. John. Rice, from Scott River, while out with a prospecting party, fell over a precipice, nearly one hundred cet high, and was killed—[Yreka Union. .

Mr. Dawes recently made a statement in. pay and rations of volunteers, is this district with no great success. A compa: on ID) the Howse of Representatives showing the ny of contrabands was formed here three or eX penditures of all the departments, trom four weeks since, and numbered, at one time, when the intensity and zeal of the “innocents” culminated, nearly one hundred and fifty men. Since then the contrabands’s courage, like that of Bob Acres, has oozed out of their tinger’s ends, and the company could searcely turn out a corporals guard. ‘The contrabands have no heart for the business, when they reflect upon the possibility of being punctured by cold steel, or perforated by bullets, with the additional risk of shuffling off this morta) coil through the simple and expeditious aid ofa hangman’s noose; and their fears, which increase in the same ratio that they reflect and inwardly digest, are rapidly changing their anxiety to take up arms to a deep-seated disinclination to place themselves in positions of danger. Thev are fond of the “pomp and circumstances of war,” but prefer to enjoy it under more favorable auspices than those likely to be afforded them in this department. So the experiment is not likely to prove a brilliant success. ‘here are enough arms here now to arm all the contrabands in the department: but it is exceedingly questionable whether they will ever be placed in their hands. But we shall see what we shall see, A Yours Heno.—A letter from Tilinois immortalizes a juvenile bero—a drummer in our Western army: A little boy, only twelve years old, whose mother resided in Woodburn, returned last week from Pittsburg Landing. He was a drummer in a company of which his father was Lieutenant. His name is Charley Bliss. I am well acquainted with the family, having been their physician, This boy went through the whole of the Donelson fight, and was engaged during the two days of that at Pittsburg. His father was oun in three places, while he (the son) had his clothes pierced with bullets, and blood once drawn from above the knees. His drum was shot away. ‘The little fellow’s gear looked very rusty, and his girlish face was tanned as dark as chocolate. His Colonel sent him home with four wounded men by whom he had remained and to whom he carried water on the field when the battle raged the hottest. They say he never flinched. At Donelson he got hold of a gun, dropped by a rebel, and fired twenty rounds himself, by borrowing cartridges from the soldiers about him. I tried to get him to stay with us over night, promising to take him home in my carriage early the next morning. . But no, he said he preferred walkmg three or . four miles in the mud and rain, after dark, for he wanted to see his mother that night. His father was left behind in a hospital. POPULATION AND COMMERCE OF JEDDO.— A very erroneous idea is indulged in by many ee in relation to the largest city in the world, many confidently asserting that London, or, as itis frequently termed, the Great Metropolis, is far superior both in size and number of inhabitants. But such is not the case, Jeddo, the ecpital of Japan, is without exception, the largest and most populous city in the world. It contains the vast number of 1,500,000 dwellings, and 5,000,000 of human souls. Many of the streets are 19 Japaneserls in length, which is equivalent to 22 English miles. . The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds that of any other city in the world, and the sea along its . coast is constantly white with the sails of ships. . “Their vessels sail to the southern portion of . the empire, where they are laden with rice, tea, seacoal, tobacco, silk, cotton, and tropical fruits, all of which find a ready market in the . north, and then return freighted with corn,salt,. oil, isinglass, and various other productions of the north’ which have a market in the south.” Rates or INterest.—It appears that treasure is accumulating in this city at the rate of a million dollars a month, and that during the next four months the rate of inerease will be much greater. The effect of this must necessarily be to reduce the rates of interest—in . fact such is the effect already produced toa great extent. Low rates-of interest will enable persons to build manufictories, railroads, canals and other much needed works of improve{ . the 4th of March, 1861, when the present . Administration eame into power, tu the 22d of May, 3862, The figures were derived from official sources: For the Interior Department, Indians and Pensions, to the 22d of May, $3,681,860; Civil List, Foreign Intercourse and Miscellaneous, $21,685,010; making a total of prey $25.367,000. The expenditures ofthe War Department during that time amounted to $374,172,000, andthe Navy during the same time to $42,055,000, or a total of $416,227,000. The average daily expenditures in the War Department have been $897,295, and those ot the Navy $100,852, making the average in both departments $998,147. No requisitions are unpaid excepting of a few thousand dollars for illegality or disloyalty. The payments last Thursday were only $864,917, yet the day after, when the paymasters came in,the expenditures were $2,000,. 000; but on Saturday only $500,000. So the expenditures of the Government up to the 22d of May last, in round numbers, were—for the military, $374,000,000; navy, 42,000,000; all other expenditures, $25,000,000 —a total of $441,000,000. From the 4th of March, 1861, till the 22d of May, the public debt, including $70,000,000 old debt bequeathed by Buchanan, amounted in the aggregate on Friday last to $481,796,145. . Epveationa Sta tistics.—From the prin. ted catalogues of the University of the Pueific at Santa Clara, for the past collegiate year, we . gather the following facts and figures: The Rev. }. Bannister, D. D., is President of the Insti' tution, who is assisted by eight professors and teachers in the under-graduate departments. . The students in the preparatory and collegiate departments number 103. The Female Collegiate Institute shows 42 pupils. Of medical students there are 27. ‘Total 172. From this showing it would appear that the institution is. essentially aiding the cause of liberal learning . in our State. Wire Briver BrokeNn.—A correspondent . of the Sacramento Bee writing from Michigan . Bar, Sacramento county, says “Putnam ’s wire . bridge across the Cosumnes’ three miles below . this place, gave way Friday afternoon. About . fifty head of eattle were crossing at the time. One of the wooden towers split, letting down the suspension cable on one side, turning the bridge up edgewise and precipitating the cattle into the river, and entangling some of them in . the wire railing where some ten head are hang. ing yet. Most of them were drowned.” LECTURE. Subject—“Rebet Pictures Drawn from Mohamet’s Koran.” D.

At the rate of increase of treasure prevalent during the past three months, there will be in California, atthe end of the year, at least $12,000,000 in cash more than there was atits commencement—enough to build and stock a railroad from San Francisco to Folsom via Stockton. Such an accumulation of treasure would naturally diminish the relative vaue of gold, and enhance the value of property and labor.— (S. F. Journal. MispLaceD ConFIpENCE.—The Memphis .

It is asserted, and has been proven by an eye-witness, that even the dogs, cats andrats encountered on the march of this horde, were killed and eaten with a voraciousness that betokened starvation, Indeed, they had no Commissary, and it is believed that their conduct was attributed to directions from their officers, This trash is intended as mental fvod for the ignorantand deluded followers of the rebel standard. The Dispatch is the only paper which the rebel soldiers about Richmond are permitted to read, A Jotty Goop Fiour.—Captain. Bailey, who was second in command under Farragut at the battle of New Orleans, was called upon for a dinner speech at the Astor House, a few days since. “Gentlemen,” said he, as he nervously twisted his handkerchief into a hard rope and hesitated between his words—*I dont claim any more than my share—we don’t any of us—we all want what belongs to us, and no more. Farragut, he did it—he pianned it all out; allwe had_ to do was to obey bis orders; that’s what we did. As to the particulars, the is it was—was~well,, we had a jolly good B Bay Humpo.pt River CuHanoino its Course. ~The Garson City Age has the following: We have heard rumors for several weeks past that the Humboldt river has, since the last freshets, changed its course so as to run into the Sink of the Carson. We imaging that, had there been any truth in the report, our numerous correspondents in the mining districts in the vicinity of the Humboldt river, would have advised us of it ere this Lost Tuer Lives.—By a private letter re. ceived here we learnthat about the 15th of May last,a Mr. Silvers and a Mr. Jacobs, residents of Scott Valley, were drownad, near Florence city, by the upsetting of a oanoe,while crossing the Salmon river. Mr. John. Rice, from Scott River, while out with a prospecting party, fell over a precipice, nearly one hundred cet high, and was killed—[Yreka Union. .

A compa: on ID) the Howse of Representatives showing the ny of contrabands was formed here three or eX penditures of all the departments, trom four weeks since, and numbered, at one time, when the intensity and zeal of the “innocents” culminated, nearly one hundred and fifty men. Since then the contrabands’s courage, like that of Bob Acres, has oozed out of their tinger’s ends, and the company could searcely turn out a corporals guard. ‘The contrabands have no heart for the business, when they reflect upon the possibility of being punctured by cold steel, or perforated by bullets, with the additional risk of shuffling off this morta) coil through the simple and expeditious aid ofa hangman’s noose; and their fears, which increase in the same ratio that they reflect and inwardly digest, are rapidly changing their anxiety to take up arms to a deep-seated disinclination to place themselves in positions of danger. Thev are fond of the “pomp and circumstances of war,” but prefer to enjoy it under more favorable auspices than those likely to be afforded them in this department. So the experiment is not likely to prove a brilliant success. ‘here are enough arms here now to arm all the contrabands in the department: but it is exceedingly questionable whether they will ever be placed in their hands. But we shall see what we shall see, A Yours Heno.—A letter from Tilinois immortalizes a juvenile bero—a drummer in our Western army: A little boy, only twelve years old, whose mother resided in Woodburn, returned last week from Pittsburg Landing. He was a drummer in a company of which his father was Lieutenant. His name is Charley Bliss. I am well acquainted with the family, having been their physician, This boy went through the whole of the Donelson fight, and was engaged during the two days of that at Pittsburg. His father was oun in three places, while he (the son) had his clothes pierced with bullets, and blood once drawn from above the knees. His drum was shot away. ‘The little fellow’s gear looked very rusty, and his girlish face was tanned as dark as chocolate. His Colonel sent him home with four wounded men by whom he had remained and to whom he carried water on the field when the battle raged the hottest. They say he never flinched. At Donelson he got hold of a gun, dropped by a rebel, and fired twenty rounds himself, by borrowing cartridges from the soldiers about him. I tried to get him to stay with us over night, promising to take him home in my carriage early the next morning. . But no, he said he preferred walkmg three or . four miles in the mud and rain, after dark, for he wanted to see his mother that night. His father was left behind in a hospital. POPULATION AND COMMERCE OF JEDDO.— A very erroneous idea is indulged in by many ee in relation to the largest city in the

world, many confidently asserting that London, or, as itis frequently termed, the Great Metropolis, is far superior both in size and number of inhabitants. But such is not the case, Jeddo, the ecpital of Japan, is without exception, the largest and most populous city in the world. It contains the vast number of 1,500,000 dwellings, and 5,000,000 of human souls. Many of the streets are 19 Japaneserls in length, which is equivalent to 22 English miles. . The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds that of any other city in the world, and the sea along its . coast is constantly white with the sails of ships. . “Their vessels sail to the southern portion of . the empire, where they are laden with rice, tea, seacoal, tobacco, silk, cotton, and tropical fruits, all of which find a ready market in the . north, and then return freighted with corn,salt,. oil, isinglass, and various other productions of the north’ which have a market in the south.” Rates or INterest.—It appears that treasure is accumulating in this city at the rate of a million dollars a month, and that during the next four months the rate of inerease will be much greater. The effect of this must necessarily be to reduce the rates of interest—in . fact such is the effect already produced toa great extent. Low rates-of interest will enable persons to build manufictories, railroads, canals and other much needed works of improve{ . the 4th of March, 1861, when the present . Administration eame into power, tu the 22d of May, 3862, The figures were derived from official sources: For the Interior Department, Indians and Pensions, to the 22d of May, $3,681,860; Civil List, Foreign Intercourse and Miscellaneous, $21,685,010; making a total of prey $25.367,000. The expenditures ofthe War Department during that time amounted to $374,172,000, andthe Navy during the same time to $42,055,000, or a total of $416,227,000. The average daily expenditures in the War Department have been $897,295, and those ot the Navy $100,852, making the average in both departments $998,147. No requisitions are unpaid excepting of a few thousand dollars for illegality or disloyalty. The payments last Thursday were only $864,917, yet the day after, when the paymasters came in,the expenditures were $2,000,. 000; but on Saturday only $500,000. So the expenditures of the Government up to the 22d of May last, in round numbers, were—for the military, $374,000,000; navy, 42,000,000; all other expenditures, $25,000,000 —a total of $441,000,000. From the 4th of March, 1861, till the 22d of May, the public debt, including $70,000,000 old debt bequeathed by Buchanan, amounted in the aggregate on Friday last to $481,796,145. . Epveationa Sta tistics.—From the prin. ted catalogues of the University of the Pueific at Santa Clara, for the past collegiate year, we . gather the following facts and figures: The Rev. }. Bannister, D. D., is President of the Insti' tution, who is assisted by eight professors and teachers in the under-graduate departments. . The students in the preparatory and collegiate departments number 103. The Female Collegiate Institute shows 42 pupils. Of medical students there are 27. ‘Total 172. From this showing it would appear that the institution is. essentially aiding the cause of liberal learning . in our State.

At the rate of increase of treasure prevalent during the past three months, there will be in California, atthe end of the year, at least $12,000,000 in cash more than there was atits commencement—enough to build and stock a railroad from San Francisco to Folsom via Stockton. Such an accumulation of treasure would naturally diminish the relative vaue of gold, and enhance the value of property and labor.— (S. F. Journal. MispLaceD ConFIpENCE.—The Memphis .
