Jouxstox.—This officer, late commauder of the Pacific Division, bas been stopping at Los Angeles for the past month or two, basing resigned bis commission in the army. The Sacramento Bee, of Wedoerday last, says of bim: We are informed, by a gentleman who was applied to to become one of them, and had _entered into negotiations to that end, that Gen. Johnston, late U. S. commander on this coast, MARRIED. 25th inst., by Rev. B. Brierly, Arexs McPoxaiy, of Dutch Flat, and Miss Nosy Kora Lanpexs, of Alleghany town, By the same, at the residence of the bride’ fatt in Pheasant Valle on the 2ith iriat., Mr. "ine H. Vanxer, of the United States Hotel, and Miss Exizapetu J. Novey. . At the National Exchange, im this city, on the NDRK . this city, . FOR COLLECTOR OF NEVaAp, . COUNTY .—The subscriber offers bis name to the and party, were to have left Los Angeles on . voters and Conventions of Nevada County, ax Usioy Monday last for Secessia. The party consists . Canpipate for the office’ of COLLECTOR, under the of 185 men—Wm.Whitiord, of San Francisco, . new law, at the election to take place on the 4th “ captain, and J. L. Stevens, of Santa Clara, lieu. <. tember next. tenant. Forty-five of these men are from San . " ¢. Valley, June! Ist,, 1861.—te# Francisco, and the remainder, from other portions of the State; and all, or nearly all, belong to the Knights of tlie Golden Circle. ‘We are for peace!” say they, and 80 says Dr. Scott, “if we can have our own way.” Each of these 185 men is armed witha rifle and a six-shooter. The arms and outfit*were furnished by the parties themselves. Every man has two horses, one to ride and one to carry his provisions and blankets. They go over the Southern mail route to Van Buren, Arkansas, and will there offer their services to the Secessionists, while General Johnston will enter upon his duties as a rebel General, by virtue of the commission he is now said to have in his pocket. A Vircinta Captive ON FIGHTING QuALT1ES.—One of the Virginia soldiers captured by Lieut. Tompkin’s brilliant dash through Fairfax Court House, lately said: “Talk about fighting! whew, my God! One company of them regulars, or you New York fellows ean whip a thousand of our men—by George, that’s so! I’ll swar it on a Bible. You ought to have seen ’em. Look heyer, reckon I wanted to get out of the way. Sure’s you're born, they’re just like devils—they don’t mind shots. Lord they went down the street, where they cut an’ slashed, an’ shot. Our boys run . like the devil—then, Jerusalem! you ought to have seen ’em cut upthe street again—like blue devils ; it makes my blood cold to think of it. They shot every way—knocked us from our hosses, took our pistols and sabres away— my God, how they fit! Why, sir, l’ll swar on a Bible them South and North Carolina fellows that’s with us ain’t no account. ‘They won’t obey nobody—no discipline—you'll lick them every time.” Ti1gves AkouND.—A member of the Sixtyninth regiment, writing from their camp in Virginia to the New York Leader, says: “A most extraordinary sight is visible this morning, the Virginians of the neighborhood having driven in hundreds of cattle to the fields and hill-tops within sight of our camp, to be protected hen the rebel army. In other words they came to their enemies to protect their property from the lawless plunder of their own soldiers! This certainly is a compliment to Northern honesty, at the expense of the F. F. V.’s and the ‘white trash’ from South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, who form the bulk of the 8,000 rebels now encamped, it is said, between eight and ten miles ahead of us, and awaiting for reinforcements to advance. Poor devils! without tents, and subsisting on what they can seize by force, giving the shin-plasters of theC. S. A., as if in mockery of payment— our own discomfort here changes into a Sybarite existence when contrasted with what must be their sufferings. Off the lines of railroads, they are utterly without means of transportation.” — Rerortep Massacke or Apacues.—-The Mesilla (Arizona) Times, ef May 11th, says: Report reached this city several weeks since that Cacheese, head chief of the Chirrichua Apaches, with one hundred of his braves, had been massacred in Sonora. We have been unable to glean any further details of the matter or confirmation of its truth. We give the tenor of the report: These Apaches had gone into Sonora for the purpose of making a treaty with Gov. Pesqueira, having drawn the vengeance of the Americans down upon them by their late outrages in Arizona, and being hot pressed b troops and rangers, they probably wished to provide a refuge in Sonora from whence they might send their war parties into Arizona without fear from the Mexican authorities. The treaty was entered into and a feast given to celebrate it, during which the Apaches were made drunk and all massacred. ee ———— Tuk Souturrn Loay.—The Southern Confederacy, a paper published at Montgomery, in its issue of May 22d, says: We have leared from the most reliable authority, that parties are now in Montgomery from Europe who have proposed to loan our Government from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. This is a voluntary proposition made by parties sent here for the purpose by European capitalists, who desire to invest their money in our Confederate bonds. New CaLirornia STRAMER.—The new steamship Constitution, built for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, by W. H. Webb, Esq., was successfully launched from the foot of 6th street, New York, recently and towed to the Novelty Iron Works, to receive her engines. The Constitution is one of the largest wooden vessels afloat, her extreme length being 360 feet; extreme breadth, 70 feet 6 inches; tonn 3,500.

Jouxstox.—This officer, late commauder of the Pacific Division, bas been stopping at Los Angeles for the past month or two, basing resigned bis commission in the army. The Sacramento Bee, of Wedoerday last, says of bim: We are informed, by a gentleman who was applied to to become one of them, and had _entered into negotiations to that end, that Gen. Johnston, late U. S. commander on this coast, MARRIED. 25th inst., by Rev. B. Brierly, Arexs McPoxaiy, of Dutch Flat, and Miss Nosy Kora Lanpexs, of Alleghany town, By the same, at the residence of the bride’ fatt in Pheasant Valle on the 2ith iriat., Mr. "ine H. Vanxer, of the United States Hotel, and Miss Exizapetu J. Novey. . At the National Exchange, im this city, on the NDRK . this city, . FOR COLLECTOR OF NEVaAp, . COUNTY .—The subscriber offers bis name to the and party, were to have left Los Angeles on . voters and Conventions of Nevada County, ax Usioy Monday last for Secessia. The party consists . Canpipate for the office’ of COLLECTOR, under the of 185 men—Wm.Whitiord, of San Francisco, . new law, at the election to take place on the 4th “ captain, and J. L. Stevens, of Santa Clara, lieu. <. tember next. tenant. Forty-five of these men are from San . " ¢. Valley, June! Ist,, 1861.—te# Francisco, and the remainder, from other portions of the State; and all, or nearly all, belong to the Knights of tlie Golden Circle. ‘We are for peace!” say they, and 80 says Dr. Scott, “if we can have our own way.” Each of these 185 men is armed witha rifle and a six-shooter. The arms and outfit*were furnished by the parties themselves. Every man has two horses, one to ride and one to carry his provisions and blankets. They go over the Southern mail route to Van Buren, Arkansas, and will there offer their services to the Secessionists, while General Johnston will enter upon his duties as a rebel General, by virtue of the commission he is now said to have in his pocket. A Vircinta Captive ON FIGHTING QuALT1ES.—One of the Virginia soldiers captured by Lieut. Tompkin’s brilliant dash through Fairfax Court House, lately said: “Talk about fighting! whew, my God! One company of them regulars, or you New York fellows ean whip a thousand of our men—by George, that’s so! I’ll swar it on a Bible. You ought to have seen ’em. Look heyer, reckon I wanted to get out of the way. Sure’s you're born, they’re just like devils—they don’t mind shots. Lord they went down the street, where they cut an’ slashed, an’ shot. Our boys run . like the devil—then, Jerusalem! you ought to have seen ’em cut upthe street again—like blue devils ; it makes my blood cold to think of it. They shot every way—knocked us from our hosses, took our pistols and sabres away— my God, how they fit! Why, sir, l’ll swar on a Bible them South and North Carolina fellows that’s with us ain’t no account. ‘They won’t obey nobody—no discipline—you'll lick them every time.” Ti1gves AkouND.—A member of the Sixtyninth regiment, writing from their camp in Virginia to the New York Leader, says: “A most extraordinary sight is visible this morning, the Virginians of the neighborhood having driven in hundreds of cattle to the fields and hill-tops within sight of our camp, to be protected hen the rebel army. In other words they came to their enemies to protect their property from the lawless plunder of their own soldiers! This certainly is a compliment to Northern honesty, at the expense of the F. F. V.’s and the ‘white trash’ from South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, who form the bulk of the 8,000 rebels now encamped, it is said, between eight and ten miles ahead of us, and awaiting for reinforcements to advance. Poor devils! without tents, and subsisting on what they can seize by force, giving the shin-plasters of theC. S. A., as if in mockery of payment— our own discomfort here changes into a Sybarite existence when contrasted with what must be their sufferings. Off the lines of railroads, they are utterly without means of transportation.” — Rerortep Massacke or Apacues.—-The Mesilla (Arizona) Times, ef May 11th, says: Report reached this city several weeks since that Cacheese, head chief of the Chirrichua Apaches, with one hundred of his braves, had been massacred in Sonora. We have been unable to glean any further details of the matter or confirmation of its truth. We give the tenor of the report: These Apaches had gone into Sonora for the purpose of making a treaty with Gov. Pesqueira, having drawn the vengeance of the Americans down upon them by their late outrages in Arizona, and being hot pressed b troops and rangers, they probably wished to provide a refuge in Sonora from whence they might send their war parties into Arizona without fear from the Mexican authorities. The treaty was entered into and a feast given to celebrate it, during which the Apaches were made drunk and all massacred. ee ———— Tuk Souturrn Loay.—The Southern Confederacy, a paper published at Montgomery, in its issue of May 22d, says: We have leared from the most reliable authority, that parties are now in Montgomery from Europe who have proposed to loan our Government from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. This is a voluntary proposition made by parties sent here for the purpose by European capitalists, who desire to invest their money in our Confederate bonds. New CaLirornia STRAMER.—The new steamship Constitution, built for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, by W. H. Webb, Esq., was successfully launched from the foot of 6th street, New York, recently and towed to the Novelty Iron Works, to receive her engines.
