Chai meeting of the Committhe following resoluOne oF THE DELEGATES to the late Republican (or Union as they prefer to call it,) State Convention, informs us tbat John Conness does not approve of the course pureued by the Union Democratic Committee of this county, in refuring to disband their organization and join ia “the great Union movement.’ It would make but precious little difference with the party in this county, as to what Mr, Conness ‘‘or any other mao” might think of their course; but if he ever expressed his disapprobation of the action of our County Committee, be was undoubtedly misinformed as to what that action was, The Committee did nothing more than carry out the views promulgated by Mr. Conness himself, in bis late letter to a citizen of Shasta; that is, they refused to take part in a Convention called by the Republican State Committee, and the delegates to which were apportioned upon the Lasis of the Republican vote of last year. We bave yet to learn of a single member of the Union Democratic party of this county who does not indorse the action of the Committee. There are some who favor the organization of a distinctive Union party, bat we know of none who were disposed to have anything to do with the 17th of Juoe Convention. aa ee eee Navat Batrig.—The particulars of another naval battle, which was fought near Memphis on the 6th inst.,will be found in the news dispatch on our first page. The result of thisengagement was the annibilatiou of the rebel fleet avd the capture of Memphis. According to the account, not a man was killed on the Federal side, aud only one man was slightly burt. This is almost as remarkable as the Sumter bumbardment, in which the rebel forts containing thousands of men were riddled with cannon balls, and not a man killed. Reser Prisoners at Cuicago,—Seven thousand rebel prisoners, being about balf of those captured at Fort Donelson, were sent to Camp Douglas, near Chicago. Of these three hundred and forty-two had died, and three bondred and twenty were in the hospital on the 20th alt. Practical Propusition.—A writer to 6 London paper proposes that the $200,000 which it is thought the different Albert memorials will cost, be devoted to buying American sewing machines for the twenty thousand poor needlewomen in England. Wasnoe Buiiion.—During the week ending on Saturday last, fifty-four sacks of bul lion, estimated to be worth $207,360, passed through Placerville, on the way from the Washoe mines to San Francisco, Anscoxpep.—Jasper D.

Since the civil war broke out in the United States, the moet of the English papers, following the lead of the Lendon Times, have been predicting all manner of disasters to the Federal cause, and enlarging up on the difficulties in the way of a restora: tion of the Union, In most cases the predictions doubtless merely express the wishes and hopes of the propbete, aud for tbe time being may serve to gratify aud amuse the baters of American institotions, Tbe prophecies of Russell of the Times, which have been proven false by events, would fill a large sized volume, and be appears determived to keep up bis reputation asa false prophet, On the 28tb of April, the Times published » long anonymous commonication, purporting to have been written io Liverpool, but which was evidently a production of Russell’s prophetic brain, Io the communication are some statements and predictions, made in the usual conceited English style, but which subsequent events have played the mischief with, The writer assumes that New Orleans could only be approached by way of the upper Mivsissippi, and that the Federal troops would bave to pass Mempbis, Natchez, Vicksburg and Baton Rouge, with the country on botb sides in possessivn of the enemy. But supposing the Federals could by any possibility reach New Orleans, there was no hope that they could take and bold the city. Here is what he says: And the end of this unpromising voyage would be New Orleans—a city of 160,000 inhabitants, fire-eaters toa man, spurred by a Vigilance Committe, with large resources, inspiriting traditions of successful detence, and a large French element in its peg o race little likely to hold back from a barricade or any other kind of fighting. Here, in addition to its own resources, would be accumulated all the steamers and combatants driven down the river by the Federal advance. It is not improbable that the fleet of gunboats, iron-roofed batteries, and steam-rams, under the command of such men as Maury and others of the best officers of the former navy, will exceed in number and power the force coming to attack them. On land, fortifications, prepared long since, will be defended by numbers equal to those of the assailants. What the probability of success in such an enterprise is, the reader may judge for himself. Great stress is, indeed, laid on the effect of the mortar-boats, but shells, a powerful auxiliary in an attack, cannot decide a contest. There has been ample time to provide for them, and, wherever earth, bagging, and timber can be found shelter may be provided; the supRly, also, will be limited, as it proved to be at weaborg, and there will be no means to replenish the magazines. How all this trash bas been contradicted by events it is unneceseary to state, We’ merely publish it to show the value of the speculations of the English press upoo American affairs. Anotuer Lesson ror Joun BuLi.—Befure Great Britain has recovered from tbe excitement produced by the Monitorial lessoo, Brother Jonathan has furnished him with another, which will create scarcely less sensation in the naval operations at New Orlesns, The St. John (N. B.) Freeman concludes an article upon the civil war ion America, with the subjoined paragraph: The battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac was a startling lesson to Europe. The capture of New Orleans is a lesson not less important and alarming. Ifon the Mississippi a few vessels bound in iron chains and enveloped in trueses of wet hay run past strong batteries in safety, and then reduce a large city to submission with threats of a bombardment, what is the safety of St. Petersburg, or London— what the value of Cronstandt, Chatham, Woolwich, Cherbourg, Toulon, or of the batteries on the Dardanelles? This American war is indeed in many senses arevolutionarp. Tue ACRORATS.—We understand that the Hanlon Brothers will only perform in this city to-night and Monday. On Tuesday next they will leave, together with other attractions for Sacramento, where they will perform on Wednesday and Thursday; on Friday and Saturday at Placerville; Mon ay and Tuesday in Marysville; Wednesday in Grass Valley, and Thursday and Friday in Nevada. The public at these places may rest assured that these Brothers are the greatest attraction that ever visited this coast, and as this is the only opportunity, they should be seen by all the ighabieents of the above places. They have drawn larger houses in this city at the Metropolitan Theater than any attraction that was ever here, and we take great pleasure in recommending them to our country friends. The agent who accompanies them, Mr. Finch, is one who is only known to be appreciated.—[S. F. Call, June 21st. Success ys. PRinciPLEs.—One argument used to induce Union men to join the new-fangid love-feast party whose convention was eld in town the other day, is that it will undoubtedly succeed in the coming Fall elections. Well, what if it shall succeed? Is success the test of principle? Should Union Democrats join a party that has ever, heretofore, openly avowed its hatred for them, that has heaped abuse upon them, and upon the gallant Douglas, their late leader in the glorious battle of principle, and which has said, so recently, that it would prefer the election of a BrechinridgeMcConnelite rather than see a Union Demo. crat elected?’ Let: those go then who will; we ehoose ratherto remain inthe ranks of the Union Democracy, and suffer a temporary defeat, than barter, principles for the spoils. af af; fice. We don’ts‘affiliate.—[Sicrra Dem. BY TELEGRAPH. [SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT.] ee San Francisco, June 24tb. Capt. W. H. Ducker of the sloop Anna Bell, reports that the body ofa boy about 15 years of age, dark bair. and dressed in a brown jacket, gray cassimere pants, was found about 12 o'clock yesterday, a short distance south of Saucileto where the tide had thrown it. Two boys named Danie) Picket and Charles Leander, whore parents reside on Notoma street, have been missing since the 10th instant, and it is supposed the body found may be that of one of them. The steamer Sierra Nevada arrived at three o’clock this morning from Victoria and Portland. Tbe Eastero line is still down. ELE RELA LAELIA A Wanperixne Contrapanns.—A correspondent writing from one of the camps of McClellan’s army, says: Allalongthe road we met negroes whose masters and mistresses had left them, and who now were journeying in the direction of williamsburg. The soldiers had told them that if their ewners had entered the rebel service, or had abandoned them, they were free and now could go wherever they liked. Quite a number of the old slaves prefer to remain upon the plantations to leaving the homes where they were born, and seeking their living in the country of which they know nothing. Said an old negro with whitened locks and trembling limbs: uf ain't gwine away, massa; I’ve lived here tov long for dat; what would I do up dar ’mong de white folks; dey’s berry kind, I don’t got any doubt ob dat; but den you see, massa, l’se too old to leave dis old farm, and I’m gwine to stay and die yere.” Others again, faithful servants as they are, cling closer than ever to those who have raised and cared for them, and will not desert them on any account. The younger fry, however, caper along like young colts just escaped from the halter, willing to live any life in preference to their former ones. A confused notion of liberty, or a knowledge of the fact they must leave their deserted homes and gain their own livelihood, has set others adrift, and towards the North they are journeying. Nevapa Territory ITews.—The followiag items are from the Carson City Age, of the 18th and 19th iust: We understand that there has been no little suffering in the Humboldt mining district during the past two or three months, on account of the exhaustation of the limited supply of flour in that locality. In some cases miners have lived on straight beef and the roots which they were fortunate enough to find, without any bread whatever. elearn from a reliable source that rock taken from the Burns and McKay ledge has assayed as high as $600 per ton, and that the lucky owners have refused $30 a ton, offered for it inthe mine. The ledge is from two to twelve feet wide, and was discovered about the middle of last May. There are but four peroo in the company, who have taken up 1,000 eet. Silver City does not now present the lively state of affairs that prevailed there last fall; the severe winter from which we are emerging seems to have weakened Silvera little. The idleness of that large Phoenix mil? just below + ae adds much to the apparent dullness of the place. CaLirornNia’s First-Born.—Nevada Territory being almost wholly settled by Californians, and being dependent, after the manner ofacolony, onthe mother country for her means of subsistence, might not inaptly be termed her first-born. Then the interests of no parent country and colony could possibly be more closely united than are those of Nevada and California. The colony has untold wealth of gold aad silver, and the mother country manages, by feeding it and furnishing it with utensils to set up housekeeping, to get it all as fast as itis dug out. She will never have another that will be half sueh a comfort to her as Navada.—[Territorial Enterprise. _Dovsie-Heaprp Locic.—As some Abolitionists pretend to be Union men, the Secessionists style all Union men Abolitionists. We may reason as well, and more logically, as all Secessionists and open traitors are opposed to the present Administration, therefore all opponents of the Administration are traitors, Or sympathiaers with traitors. The phrase “Abolitionist,” as some now use it, is about “played out,” and is about as effectual as the silly squalling of a senseless parrot. THREE Great PRECEDENTS.—We have had three wars, says an Eastern exehange: The Revolution, the war with England and the war with Mexico, The first was terminated at Yorktown, the second at New Orleans, and the third in the enemy’s capital. In putting down this rebellion we have taken oe te and occupied New Osleans, and we shall soon be in Richmond, the rebel cupital, and that will end the war with Seeession. Onk Kellogg,a brother-in-law of the President of the United States, was arrested in Richmond a short time simce, and placed in the Confederate State Prison. He has been residing with his wife (formerly Miss Lincoln) in the South, and affirms that he isa strong sympathizer with the Southern cause. SHAMEFUL.—A party of whites on Salt Creek, on the land of Major P. B. Reading, Shasta county, lately attacked some Chinese, cutting five of them in the most cruel manner. Major Reading has offered a reward of $500 for any information of the perpetrators. CONFEDERATE money is quoted at Richmond at 97, and gold and silver at 80 cents premium. This would make Jeff Davis’ Treasury notes wort about 17 cents on the dollar. Sap.—A-family living in Michigan Bluffs, last week lost three children ip three successixe days, with putrid sore thraat,. SS Case or Hypnopnonta.—The first case . of rh season of hydrophobia occurred in the Eighth ward on Saturday, the 10th inst. The unfortunate victim is Thomas O'Hare, recently in the employ of Horace Jones, livery-stable keeper, and residing at No. 119 Spring strect. About five weeks since Mr, O'Hare was bitten by a medium-sized hound that was about the stable, the animal inflicting a severe wound in the hand. ‘The case was brought to the attention of Dr. Frelight, of 128 Ninth street, surgeon and physician to the Police Department, who ordered the wound cauterized, and a hot poultice to be at once applied to produce suppuration, the man having neglected for several days any treatment. In accordance with a prevailing superstition Mr. O’Hare wanted the dog . killed. Dr. Frelight directed, however, that the animal should be chained up and fed as usual tintil he could ascertain to what extent the rabies had affected him, in order to be the better able to treat his patient. Instead of following these directiods, dictated by knowledge based on experience, the man followed the advice of ignorant friends, and had the dog killed, believing that to be the great cure-all. On Saturday the disease developed in full, when Dr. Frelight was again sent for. The scene that ensued upon his entering the room was a fearful one. The apartment was about eight feet square, and in one corner stood the maniac, his eyes flashing, his beard and moustache covered with white foain oozing from his mouth, and his chest heavin i contracting with nervous convulsions. He spoke to the doctor with perfect consciousness of his awful situation, begging him to retire lest he should bite him, and at intervals hissing, yey: growling, barking and howling like a dog in great physical torture. At the sight of a cup of water he went into convulsions. Asnothing could be done for him in his then present condition, the doctor obtained the services of four officers from the Eighth precinct, who secured the unfortunate man with straps and bands, and conveyed him to Belleyue Hospital, where he died.—[N. Y. World. VJ ‘Turn OLp Grants or CALIFORNIA.—There . were giants once on this coast, all the denials of . savans and doubters notwithstanding. Not less than four well-known cases have been noted of the discovery of the remains of the giant Californians of the Sierra Nevadas—to wit: First— a skull bone was found in Trinity county in 1856; second—there were found im Tuolumne county. in 1860, a thigh bone and skull of a} man 12 feet high; third—there were discovered near Jacksonville, in Southern Oregon, in May, 1862, a pair of human jaw bones of the immense breadth of 7 inches;and fourth—there was discov~ ered, in 1762, near the Mission of Ignacio de 1 citic coast of Lower California; the vertebrae, . skull, ribs, etc., of a maw 11 feetin hight, w hich . were found by one of the old Jesuit pwiests. . These accounts, with sevezal others on tite hu. man fossils of Califormia and Mexico, as disin. terred by the gold mimers with their wonder. working water-machimery, may be found in the Notes on the Indians of California, now in the course of publication in the Farmer of San Franciseo. Such remains of the ancient races ought to be preserved. ‘The skull or other remains ef a giant twelve feet high, is worth its . weight in gold, in London or Paris.—{ Bulletin. Sap AccIDENT.—A few nights since, a sad accident occurred in the claim of H. Bliss, Eureka City, Sierra county, by which Charles. Corning and Charles Walker lost their lives. A person, on entering the tunnel to ealt off the — shift, which had been working in the tun. nel, let on the water, which came im in great force, when the unfortunate men ebung to the . timbers, until they were bruised by boulders, . when their bodies were carried away some half . The remains of the deceased were . followed by . a mile. placed in lone mountain graves, several of their brother mimers. leiassanaaeicaben Tue Press or New On_eans.—Six daily apers have survived the ‘‘bad times” which . ew Orleans has passed through, viz: the Picayune, Delta, Trwe Delta, Crescent, Bulletin, and Bee. Of these, the True Delta and Bee . (the latter half French and half English) have . all along manifested some regard for the old . Union, and strangely enough these were owned . and edited by natives of the Soath, while all the others, more rampant upom the subject of Se. cession, are under the eontrol of Northern . born. Tue Memphis Appeal says; “Gen. George . B. Crittenden has sent in his resignation to the . War Department, his intention being to retire . from the service and remove to Texas. He is . displeased with the treatment he has met with at the hands of the Government. THE new Westminster bridge crossing the . Thames, near the British House of Varliament, isat lest completed.

Ifon the Mississippi a few vessels bound in iron chains and enveloped in trueses of wet hay run past strong batteries in safety, and then reduce a large city to submission with threats of a bombardment, what is the safety of St. Petersburg, or London— what the value of Cronstandt, Chatham, Woolwich, Cherbourg, Toulon, or of the batteries on the Dardanelles? This American war is indeed in many senses arevolutionarp. Tue ACRORATS.—We understand that the Hanlon Brothers will only perform in this city to-night and Monday. On Tuesday next they will leave, together with other attractions for Sacramento, where they will perform on Wednesday and Thursday; on Friday and Saturday at Placerville; Mon ay and Tuesday in Marysville; Wednesday in Grass Valley, and Thursday and Friday in Nevada. The public at these places may rest assured that these Brothers are the greatest attraction that ever visited this coast, and as this is the only opportunity, they should be seen by all the ighabieents of the above places. They have drawn larger houses in this city at the Metropolitan Theater than any attraction that was ever here, and we take great pleasure in recommending them to our country friends. The agent who accompanies them, Mr. Finch, is one who is only known to be appreciated.—[S. F. Call, June 21st. Success ys. PRinciPLEs.—One argument used to induce Union men to join the new-fangid love-feast party whose convention was eld in town the other day, is that it will undoubtedly succeed in the coming Fall elections. Well, what if it shall succeed? Is success the test of principle? Should Union Democrats join a party that has ever, heretofore, openly avowed its hatred for them, that has heaped abuse upon them, and upon the gallant Douglas, their late leader in the glorious battle of principle, and which has said, so recently, that it would prefer the election of a BrechinridgeMcConnelite rather than see a Union Demo. crat elected?’ Let: those go then who will; we ehoose ratherto remain inthe ranks of the Union Democracy, and suffer a temporary defeat, than barter, principles for the spoils. af af; fice. We don’ts‘affiliate.—[Sicrra Dem. BY TELEGRAPH. [SPECIAL TO THE DEMOCRAT.] ee San Francisco, June 24tb. Capt. W. H. Ducker of the sloop Anna Bell, reports that the body ofa boy about 15 years of age, dark bair. and dressed in a brown jacket, gray cassimere pants, was found about 12 o'clock yesterday, a short distance south of Saucileto where the tide had thrown it. Two boys named Danie) Picket and Charles Leander, whore parents reside on Notoma street, have been missing since the 10th instant, and it is supposed the body found may be that of one of them. The steamer Sierra Nevada arrived at three o’clock this morning from Victoria and Portland. Tbe Eastero line is still down. ELE RELA LAELIA A Wanperixne Contrapanns.—A correspondent writing from one of the camps of McClellan’s army, says: Allalongthe road we met negroes whose masters and mistresses had left them, and who now were journeying in the direction of williamsburg. The soldiers had told them that if their ewners had entered the rebel service, or had abandoned them, they were free and now could go wherever they liked. Quite a number of the old slaves prefer to remain upon the plantations to leaving the homes where they were born, and seeking their living in the country of which they know nothing. Said an old negro with whitened locks and trembling limbs: uf ain't gwine away, massa; I’ve lived here tov long for dat; what would I do up dar ’mong de white folks; dey’s berry kind, I don’t got any doubt ob dat; but den you see, massa, l’se too old to leave dis old farm, and I’m gwine to stay and die yere.” Others again, faithful servants as they are, cling closer than ever to those who have raised and cared for them, and will not desert them on any account. The younger fry, however, caper along like young colts just escaped from the halter, willing to live any life in preference to their former ones. A confused notion of liberty, or a knowledge of the fact they must leave their deserted homes and gain their own livelihood, has set others adrift, and towards the North they are journeying. Nevapa Territory ITews.—The followiag items are from the Carson City Age, of the 18th and 19th iust: We understand that there has been no little suffering in the Humboldt mining district during the past two or three months, on account of the exhaustation of the limited supply of flour in that locality. In some cases miners have lived on straight beef and the roots which they were fortunate enough to find, without any bread whatever. elearn from a reliable source that rock taken from the Burns and McKay ledge has assayed as high as $600 per ton, and that the lucky owners have refused $30 a ton, offered for it inthe mine. The ledge is from two to twelve feet wide, and was discovered about the middle of last May. There are but four peroo in the company, who have taken up 1,000 eet. Silver City does not now present the lively state of affairs that prevailed there last fall; the severe winter from which we are emerging seems to have weakened Silvera little. The idleness of that large Phoenix mil? just below + ae adds much to the apparent dullness of the place. CaLirornNia’s First-Born.—Nevada Territory being almost wholly settled by Californians, and being dependent, after the manner ofacolony, onthe mother country for her means of subsistence, might not inaptly be termed her first-born. Then the interests of no parent country and colony could possibly be more closely united than are those of Nevada and California. The colony has untold wealth of gold aad silver, and the mother country manages, by feeding it and furnishing it with utensils to set up housekeeping, to get it all as fast as itis dug out. She will never have another that will be half sueh a comfort to her as Navada.—[Territorial Enterprise. _Dovsie-Heaprp Locic.—As some Abolitionists pretend to be Union men, the Secessionists style all Union men Abolitionists. We

may reason as well, and more logically, as all Secessionists and open traitors are opposed to the present Administration, therefore all opponents of the Administration are traitors, Or sympathiaers with traitors. The phrase “Abolitionist,” as some now use it, is about “played out,” and is about as effectual as the silly squalling of a senseless parrot. THREE Great PRECEDENTS.—We have had three wars, says an Eastern exehange: The Revolution, the war with England and the war with Mexico, The first was terminated at Yorktown, the second at New Orleans, and the third in the enemy’s capital. In putting down this rebellion we have taken oe te and occupied New Osleans, and we shall soon be in Richmond, the rebel cupital, and that will end the war with Seeession. Onk Kellogg,a brother-in-law of the President of the United States, was arrested in Richmond a short time simce, and placed in the Confederate State Prison. He has been residing with his wife (formerly Miss Lincoln) in the South, and affirms that he isa strong sympathizer with the Southern cause. SHAMEFUL.—A party of whites on Salt Creek, on the land of Major P. B. Reading, Shasta county, lately attacked some Chinese, cutting five of them in the most cruel manner. Major Reading has offered a reward of $500 for any information of the perpetrators. CONFEDERATE money is quoted at Richmond at 97, and gold and silver at 80 cents premium. This would make Jeff Davis’ Treasury notes wort about 17 cents on the dollar. Sap.—A-family living in Michigan Bluffs, last week lost three children ip three successixe days, with putrid sore thraat,. SS Case or Hypnopnonta.—The first case . of rh season of hydrophobia occurred in the Eighth ward on Saturday, the 10th inst. The unfortunate victim is Thomas O'Hare, recently in the employ of Horace Jones, livery-stable keeper, and residing at No. 119 Spring strect. About five weeks since Mr, O'Hare was bitten by a medium-sized hound that was about the stable, the animal inflicting a severe wound in the hand. ‘The case was brought to the attention of Dr. Frelight, of 128 Ninth street, surgeon and physician to the Police Department, who ordered the wound cauterized, and a hot poultice to be at once applied to produce suppuration, the man having neglected for several days any treatment. In accordance with a prevailing superstition Mr. O’Hare wanted the dog . killed. Dr. Frelight directed, however, that the animal should be chained up and fed as usual tintil he could ascertain to what extent the rabies had affected him, in order to be the better able to treat his patient. Instead of following these directiods, dictated by knowledge based on experience, the man followed the advice of ignorant friends, and had the dog killed, believing that to be the great cure-all. On Saturday the disease developed in full, when Dr. Frelight was again sent for. The scene that ensued upon his entering the room was a fearful one. The apartment was about eight feet square, and in one corner stood the maniac, his eyes flashing, his beard and moustache covered with white foain oozing from his mouth, and his chest heavin i contracting with nervous convulsions. He spoke to the doctor with perfect consciousness of his awful situation, begging him to retire lest he should bite him, and at intervals hissing, yey: growling, barking and howling like a dog in great physical torture. At the sight of a cup of water he went into convulsions. Asnothing could be done for him in his then present condition, the doctor obtained the services of four officers from the Eighth precinct, who secured the unfortunate man with straps and bands, and conveyed him to Belleyue Hospital, where he died.—[N. Y. World. VJ ‘Turn OLp Grants or CALIFORNIA.—There . were giants once on this coast, all the denials of . savans and doubters notwithstanding. Not less than four well-known cases have been noted of the discovery of the remains of the giant Californians of the Sierra Nevadas—to wit: First— a skull bone was found in Trinity county in 1856; second—there were found im Tuolumne county. in 1860, a thigh bone and skull of a} man 12 feet high; third—there were discovered near Jacksonville, in Southern Oregon, in May, 1862, a pair of human jaw bones of the immense breadth of 7 inches;and fourth—there was discov~ ered, in 1762, near the Mission of Ignacio de 1 citic coast of Lower California; the vertebrae, . skull, ribs, etc., of a maw 11 feetin hight, w hich . were found by one of the old Jesuit pwiests. . These accounts, with sevezal others on tite hu. man fossils of Califormia and Mexico, as disin. terred by the gold mimers with their wonder. working water-machimery, may be found in the Notes on the Indians of California, now in the course of publication in the Farmer of San Franciseo. Such remains of the ancient races ought to be preserved. ‘The skull or other remains ef a giant twelve feet high, is worth its . weight in gold, in London or Paris.—{ Bulletin. Sap AccIDENT.—A few nights since, a sad accident occurred in the claim of H. Bliss, Eureka City, Sierra county, by which Charles. Corning and Charles Walker lost their lives. A person, on entering the tunnel to ealt off the — shift, which had been working in the tun. nel, let on the water, which came im in great force, when the unfortunate men ebung to the . timbers, until they were bruised by boulders, . when their bodies were carried away some half . The remains of the deceased were . followed by . a mile. placed in lone mountain graves, several of their brother mimers. leiassanaaeicaben Tue Press or New On_eans.—Six daily apers have survived the ‘‘bad times” which . ew Orleans has passed through, viz: the Picayune, Delta, Trwe Delta, Crescent, Bulletin, and Bee. Of these, the True Delta and Bee . (the latter half French and half English) have . all along manifested some regard for the old . Union, and strangely enough these were owned . and edited by natives of the Soath, while all the others, more rampant upom the subject of Se. cession, are under the eontrol of Northern . born. Tue Memphis Appeal says; “Gen. George . B. Crittenden has sent in his resignation to the . War Department, his intention being to retire . from the service and remove to Texas.
