A Question or Timu.—The Transcript of yesterday morning publisbes the corres pondence between the Chairman of the Republican and Democratic Committees, in relation to the proposed fusion, After givjog the first letter, which proposes that the Democrati¢ Committee should join in the call to eleet delegates to the Republican State Convention, the Transcript says: The aboveletter was handed to the Chairman of the Democratic Committee on Saturday, the Bist ult.,.some hours before the issue of the Democrat of that day in which a call was published’ calling a Democratic Committee on the succeeding Saturday—beyond the day selected for the proposed joint meeting of the Committees. This statement is entirely false. The Democrat containing the call had been priated and circulated all over town for at least ao hour before the letter was handed to Mr. Davenport. In faet, Mr. Potter, the Secretary of the Republican Committee, remarked when be banded the letter to Mr. Davenport, that be had just seen in the Democrat a oall for a meeting of the Democratic Committee on the following Saturday. Mc. Davenport had oo jotimation that such a proposition was to be made until af ‘er the call bad been made, and this fact was well known tothe Republican Committee, of which the editor of the Trauectipt is Chairman. sensation in the political world, and it is quite certain that the Democracy of the loyal States will never approve of many of its sentiments, It contains #0 maby ubtruthful assertions, that we are forced to the conclusion it was merely intended to mislead avd deceive the iguorant and unreflecting. For instance, it is boldly asserted, that while the Democratic party was in power, the Government successfully prosecated two foreign wars without the suspension of the habeas corpus. This of course refers to the last war with Great Britain and the Mexican war, the first of which was mostly conducted on the ocean, and the second entirely in the enemy’s country. Now every person who has read the history of the United States must be aware that the writ of habeas corpus bas been suspended time and again, by Federal and State officers, In all causes of invasion and insurreetion, the writ bas been suspended whenever it was deemed necessary by the President, by commauding Generals, by Governors of States and Mayors of cities. When the British invaded Louisiana, Jackson, who commanded in the Southwest, proclaimed martial law, took into custody hundreds ol suspected traitors, among whom was a Upited States Judge, and ruled New Orleans as firmly as Butler is roting it to-day. The habeas corpus bas been suspended on many other occasions in our history; and if the writ bas been disregarded oftever doring the present rebellion than ever before, it is because the public danger is greater. We are not of those who believe it desirable or possible to abolish party organizations; nor do we think it eesential, for the vigorous prosecution of the war aod the suppression of the rebellion, that all should support the political doctrines of the party in power. But if the Democratic organization is to be reconstructed aod consolidated, the platform must not be founded on falsehoods, A Userut Pustication.—We have reecived the April number of a small monthly paper published-by Jobn H, McCutchen, at Wasbington City, entitled the “Union aad Army Reporter.” It is published on the first of each month,and gives the names of all the sick and: wounded soldiers in the different hospitals, and the uames of al) those killed in battle or who die io the service. The subscription price is only twenty'five cents a year, which can be paid in postage stamps. Inptan OvurraGes.—The steamer Panama arrived on Thursday from Crescent City, and brings intelligence of Indian outrages upon the settlers in Humboldt county. On the evening of the 6th iost., about seventyfive Indians made an attack upon the honse of Mr. Daby, five miles from Arcata, and the inmates fled to the woods, and scattered iv different directions as their only chance of escape. Mrs, Danskin, the mother of Mre. Daby was killed, and a Frencbman named Nizet bad not been found, and is suppose to be-dead. Mr. Daby, though wounded, reaehed Arcata the next moroing, and a party immediately started out. About two o’clock in the afternoon they met Mrs, Daby, badty wounded in ove arm. and with the other bearing her infant, She had secreted her other two children and thoy were afterwards found. Two soldiers and an Indian boy who were at the house when the attack was made were also wounded, anda hittle bey named George Danskin was taken prisoner by tbe savages. When Mrs. Daby fell wounded, the Indians told her they intended to take the lad with them, but did not wish tokill her or her children, Fioding-that Mr. Duby and the soldiers had escaped, the Indians returned robbed the premises and set fire to the buildings. About nine o’clock the next morning, a portion.of the same gang attacked the house of Mr. Mublburg, who escaped with his wife, and after borniong lis house the savages took. to the mountaius, Severat otber outrages were perpetrated, and the eitizeos of Eureka belda meeting and resolved to make another appeal to Geo.

The Saginaw it will be remembered, liad been condemed as uuseaworthy. Tux CoLorapo Mives.—It appears by letters from various correspondents, and the statements of parties recently. from the South, that the Colorado gold mines are not such “great shakes’’ as the Los Angeles papers endeavor to make them appear. Considerable gold bas been found there,but the mines are not extensive, and water is soarce, Fixep.—J. D. Winters and John Clark have becn fined $500 each, at Carson City, for breaking upa theatrical performance in that place, some nights siuce.

Tux Senate has unanimously rejected a long list of naval nominations, restoring officers who had resigned in times of peace to their former relative rank.

DAwN oF PAtRIoTISM IN SouTH AMERIcA.—The half-developed designs of France and other European powers. with regard to Spanish America, may never be realized, but’ the mere prospect of an invasion has been sufficient to arouse the latent energies of the people of the Spanish American republics, and to inspire in them some traces of the warlike and chivalrous spirit which animated the Aidalgos of ancient Castile. The sentiment of a common resistance to aching peril seems to have communicated itself with the suddenness of an electric shock to all the States south of Mexico, and in some, if not all of them, meetings have been held for the purpose of consulting measures to repulse the usurpers who approach them with a crown in one hand and a sword in the other. At the session of the Society of the Defenders of the Independence of America, held at Lima on the 14th of last month, resolutions were passed to promote a subscription for the purchase of 100,000 rifles to be presented to the first South American State that shall need them. The manifestation of such a spirit gives promise of a better future ‘for the southern portion of this continent. Tuy Fatt or Fort Macon.—Three or four months ago such an event as the capture of Fort Macon, a strong and costly fortification deemed almost impregnable, would have created a thrill of admiration and joy throughout the whole country, but now this victory, so frequent and so great have Union victories become seems scarcely to excite a remark or a thought. We take victories as matters of course, recognizing each, as we hear of it, simply as a step in the majestic march of the national power to complete and speedy restoration of the Union. President Lincoln said in his Inaugural Ad-. tors at the St. . thing of an anchorite, left his home and founded, in Lower Tennessee, a community. of his . sect, whose influence should im time extend . over the limits of the New World, and,ina . manner, deify its progenitors. He lived in solitude, his humble church being. his home, and the little field beyond the means of his subsistence. With agranary filled with corn, and the rough hewn floor of brie-church for a bed, he was content to live—a wonder to his parishioners, a pense ae, Herne of humanity, yet, in truth, a second Mahomet in his-wild ambitions of the future. In this way he lived a few years, apart from the world,.and to all appearances dead to . its sympathies. Yet in time the flesh prevailed. He met his destiny in the form of a woman, and his high intentions went down before the stronger: inclinations of nature. The little church became an unlawful trysting-place, and . one morning he was found weltering in his blood, the victim of a husband’s vengeance. Border blood was quick and reckless, and his punishment came speedily. For years afterwards the untutored inhabitants looked at the blood stain which marked the spot where he fell in superstitious awe, but time washed it out andthe church of Shiloh again became the pave of worship. Its destiny was linked with lood and violence, and it now stands a monument of carnage, the center of a great cemetery, where lie buried nearly 7,000 men.” A Money Mystery.—The Carson City Age is puzzled as to where the money produced in Washoe goes to. It says: Want of cash is the universal malady of our Territory. What . little was left us last fall was carried away by miners to the Nez Percs mines, after Salmon river, or to “Crazyboo.” How is it that out of millions dug in Nevada, coin is so frightfully scarce among us? Would a mint correct this? San Francisco runs ahead, (like a racehorse, ) . fed on Nevada metals. How is it none of this } wealth stops this side of the mountains? At an early day Pacific gold floated away to New . York ; ours floats to California. Strate Anms.—Adjutant General Kibbe, in answer to interrogatories from Stockton, relative to his ability to furnish arms for a company about organizing there, writes that the Department is in possession of arms sufficient for one company, and that cavalry companies are about being organized in Jackson, Amador county, and in Sacramento. Thefirst company making the requisition in proper form will be . entitled to the arms. The Stocktonians have determined to organize so quick as the law will permit and get the arms—if they can. SnHockinG ACCIDENT.—A dispatch from Gold Hill, Nevada Territory, of the 10th inst., says: Mr. Thom on, one of the amalgamauis Company’s mill, near dress, that it would be his policy to “hold, oc-. Devil’s Gate, while engaged drawi cupy and possess” the forts of the United States . from one of the pe Anne wn S'clook this that had been seized by the rebels. Surely the . morning, the machinery being in motion, was world cannot charge that he isn’t redeeming that pledge with prodigious vigor.

A DienrFrep Rervsat,—A London correspondent writes toa New York journal as follows: Mr. George Peabody is said to have recently declined to recognize his election to the Reform Club, a notification of which was sent him. It is well known that on several occasions hitherto, when his name has been proposed, he has been rejected. Now that the Court Journal has endorsed him as one of the wealthiest. men in the kingdom, they consider him worthy of their association. His declinatton of.the proposed honor meets with the universal approbation of his countrymen. here. Tur Loss at New OxiBans.—Capt. Bailey, second in command of the Mississippi. fect, writes to the Secretary of the Navy,, saying: “The poy with they ewn hands d from $8,000, and shipping. Our loss is 36 killed and 123 wounded, ‘Phe enemy lost from 1,000 to 1 besides. several hundred prisoners.” Tue bill for the establishment of an, Agricultural Department in the Government has passed both Houses of Congress. .

DAwN oF PAtRIoTISM IN SouTH AMERIcA.—The half-developed designs of France and other European powers. with regard to Spanish America, may never be realized, but’ the mere prospect of an invasion has been sufficient to arouse the latent energies of the people of the Spanish American republics, and to inspire in them some traces of the warlike and chivalrous spirit which animated the Aidalgos of ancient Castile. The sentiment of a common resistance to aching peril seems to have communicated itself with the suddenness of an electric shock to all the States south of Mexico, and in some, if not all of them, meetings have been held for the purpose of consulting measures to repulse the usurpers who approach them with a crown in one hand and a sword in the other. At the session of the Society of the Defenders of the Independence of America, held at Lima on the 14th of last month, resolutions were passed to promote a subscription for the purchase of 100,000 rifles to be presented to the first South American State that shall need them. The manifestation of such a spirit gives promise of a better future ‘for the southern portion of this continent. Tuy Fatt or Fort Macon.—Three or four months ago such an event as the capture of Fort Macon, a strong and costly fortification deemed almost impregnable, would have created a thrill of admiration and joy throughout the whole country, but now this victory, so frequent and so great have Union victories become seems scarcely to excite a remark or a thought. We take victories as matters of course, recognizing each, as we hear of it, simply as a step in the majestic march of the national power to complete and speedy restoration of the Union. President Lincoln said in his Inaugural Ad-. tors at the St. . thing of an anchorite, left his home and founded, in Lower Tennessee, a community. of his . sect, whose influence should im time extend . over the limits of the New World, and,ina . manner, deify its progenitors. He lived in solitude, his humble church being. his home, and the little field beyond the means of his subsistence. With agranary filled with corn, and the rough hewn floor of brie-church for a bed, he was content to live—a wonder to his parishioners, a pense ae, Herne of humanity, yet, in truth, a second Mahomet in his-wild ambitions of the future. In this way he lived a few years, apart from the world,.and to all appearances dead to . its sympathies. Yet in time the flesh prevailed. He met his destiny in the form of a woman, and his high intentions went down before the stronger: inclinations of nature. The little church became an unlawful trysting-place, and . one morning he was found weltering in his blood, the victim of a husband’s vengeance. Border blood was quick and reckless, and his punishment came speedily. For years afterwards the untutored inhabitants looked at the blood stain which marked the spot where he fell in superstitious awe, but time washed it out andthe church of Shiloh again became the pave of worship. Its destiny was linked with lood and violence, and it now stands a monument of carnage, the center of a great cemetery, where lie buried nearly 7,000 men.” A Money Mystery.—The Carson City Age is puzzled as to where the money produced in Washoe goes to. It says: Want of cash is the universal malady of our Territory. What . little was left us last fall was carried away by miners to the Nez Percs mines, after Salmon river, or to “Crazyboo.” How is it that out of millions dug in Nevada, coin is so frightfully scarce among us? Would a mint correct this? San Francisco runs ahead, (like a racehorse, ) . fed on Nevada metals. How is it none of this } wealth stops this side of the mountains? At an early day Pacific gold floated away to New . York ; ours floats to California. Strate Anms.—Adjutant General Kibbe, in answer to interrogatories from Stockton, relative to his ability to furnish arms for a company about organizing there, writes that the Department is in possession of arms sufficient for one company, and that cavalry companies are about being organized in Jackson, Amador county, and in Sacramento. Thefirst company making the requisition in proper form will be . entitled to the arms. The Stocktonians have determined to organize so quick as the law will permit and get the arms—if they can. SnHockinG ACCIDENT.—A dispatch from Gold Hill, Nevada Territory, of the 10th inst., says: Mr. Thom on, one of the amalgamauis Company’s mill, near dress, that it would be his policy to “hold, oc-.

A DienrFrep Rervsat,—A London correspondent writes toa New York journal as follows: Mr. George Peabody is said to have recently declined to recognize his election to the Reform Club, a notification of which was sent him. It is well known that on several occasions hitherto, when his name has been proposed, he has been rejected. Now that the Court Journal has endorsed him as one of the wealthiest. men in the kingdom, they consider him worthy of their association. His declinatton of.the proposed honor meets with the universal approbation of his countrymen. here. Tur Loss at New OxiBans.—Capt.
