Chairman. 1862. Sumani Pox.—An itemin the local coluton of yesterday’s Transcript, designed, probably, to keep down excitement in regard to the small pox, makes the following very strange assertions: In the first place the disease is not contagious; in the second place there has not been a single case of real small pox here, the disease having occurred only in the milder form of vavioloid It is hardly necessary to contradict the assertion, that the small pox ie not eontagious. [f there isadiecase in the whole catalogue that fleshis heir to, which is communicated from one person to another, tt is the emalt pox; and the milder form of the disease, known as varioloid, is just as contagious as the more aggravated cases. No less than four cases of the disease bave oceurred in town, originating with the colored girl brought up from Marysville. The little daughter of Mrs, Coutad undoubtedly took it {rom the colored girl, and had what is known among physicians ae the ‘‘confluent’’ small pox—being the most aggravated form of the disease. The other two eases are those of Paul Coutad and Mr, Horwitz; the former probably had. only the varioloid, and. is now said to be nearly well. We mention these facts, not to create alarm, but that people coming into town from a distance may be on their guard. Apmitrep To A Seat.—F. F, Low, who was voted: for at the last electiou, for Congress, has been admitted to a seat, The State was only entitled to two members, aod the House Committee om elections reported against admitting bim to a seat, and his clainr was accordingly rejected. But he and bis friends at length succeeded in getting a bill through. both Houses giving CalWornia. another Representative in the 37tb (the present) Congress, and the telegraph iaforms us that Low bas been sworn ia as amember, The aot is not just towards the other States, whiob are still represented under the old:apportionment, and-there must have been.a great deal of sharp wire-working: to. get the bill through the two Houses, Prize. Kient.—We have received a slip from the office of the La Porte Messenger, giving the particulars of a prize fight, whioh came off at Port Wine, Sierra county, on Saturday last, May 3let, between Tom Daley and Bill Davis, for a stake of $500, andthe “pit money.’ A: large »m phitheater had been fitted: up, capable: of seating twelve: bundred pereons, which was filled at $2,50 a.liead, among whom: were several females, Fifty four rounds were fought, jand the contest lasted-an hour and forty-seven minutes—Davia being declared the vietor. Parson Browntow.—At the late general’ election in San Francisco, a parse of $811: was contributed for the benefit of Parson Brownlow,. and the Iast steamer brought a letter from the Parson, acknowledging ‘the receipt of the money. He states in the: Jetter that his wife, with five small childrea, bad been banished from: their bome in. Kaoxville, Teno., and compelled to leave everything they possessed, except a portion: of their clothing. They arrived at Wash ington on the lst of May, having been sent from Norfotk by a flag of truee, Barrce at Srrassure,—Dispatches in yeeterday’s Union state that a battle took. . place on Sunday, at Strasburg, Va.,. be“{weeh the rebele under Jackson and Aebby, aud Fremoat’s advance guard. The enemy were driven out of the place, with the loss of 300 prisoners, and on the 3d, they had encamped three miles beyond Woodstock. . Jackson is said to have twenty-one regimeats, with fifty-two cannon, We have some further particulars of the battle fought near Richmond, which prove it to have been one of the most suuguinary engagements of the war. The fight commenced abont noon on Saturday, by an attack of the enemy upon the left wing of McUlellan’s army, commanded by General Carey. The Federals at first gave way, but other divisions coming up to their support, the enemy were repulsed and driven back. On Sunday, the fight was renewed at daylight, by Gen. Sumner, and lasted nearly the whole day. The most of the fighting was done in the woods, and the country being swampy, very little artillery was used. The enemy were driven back two miles and a balf, aud left all their dead and most of their wounded in the bands of the Federals. Four separate bayonet charges were made by our troops, and in one instavce the enemy were driven a mile, during which one hundred and seventy-three rebels were killed with the bayonet alone. The Federals took over five bundred prisoners, and over twelve hundred of the enemy’s dead were left on the field, The Federal loss daring the two days engagement, in killed and wounded, is stuted at about two hundred, but a great number were missing on Monday morning, some of whom may have been killed. On Sunday evening, the Federals advanced to Fair Oak, within five miles of Richmond, and Geo. Hooker made a reconnoisance on the Williamsburg tarnpike, to within four miles of tbe city, witbout finding the enemy in force, This battle, it is believed, seals the fate of the rebel capital. The enemy threw forward the main body of their army upon the Vederals left and after two days hard fighting were forced to retreat, and by this time the remnants of their army are proba bly endeavoring to make their way into the Gulf States, AuLeorp TreacueRry AGatnst TREASON. —It is evident from the comments of the Southern press, that the fall of New Orleans was totally unexpected, and biuts of treachery are tbrowa out against General Lovell. It will be remembered that G. W. Smith, late Street Commissioner in New York, and a graduate of West Point, together with Lovell, left New York last summer for the South, and were soun appointed to bigh positions in the rebel army. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press presents quite ao array of testimony to show that Lovell left New York at the instigation of prominent citizens with the object of taking command of the rebel army at New Orleans, for the very purpose of delivering.the city up: to the Government. Thecorrespondent states further that he bas seen a letter from Lovell sent to a friend in Philadelphia, by way of Havana, sustaining this view, of which the following is an extract: I suppose the course pursued by me has been: condemned. Fortunately for me, the New York papers soon forgot me, I think my dear friend Smith could have worked witha vast deal more success had,he he been subjected to no more notice than I was. For myself, the $15,000 sent to ma greatly facilitated me in. proeouring the aid of men who were anxiously ready to help out my unwritten, but, I trust pares rogramme. Ithink you may hear rom Smith soon; that, however, will greatly dedend upon his opportunities. You must understand that we who have been in the North a few years,however strong our professions for the Southern cause, are not at any time free from the scan of man—at any time suspicious. If it is true, as alleged, that Smith and Lovell went South for the purpose of betraying the cause of the rebels, the improvidence of their Northern friends is likely to coat them dear. Puamistic.—A duel with fists took place on Goat Island, opposite San Francisco, on Tuesday, between Wm. Dwyer, a boarding house keeper, and Thomas Chandler, a hotel runner, Dwyer, was the larger aod stronger man, and.managed to throw his adversary every round, and Obandler was badly cut all over the body by falling. on the rocks, On the sixty second round the seconds insisted on terminating the fight, fearing that Chandler would be fatally injured by falling on rocks, The fight lasted an bour and tweoty-two minutes, and grew out of an argument abont prize fighting. Both parties were badly “punished,”’? There was no muney etaked on the result, and they consented to call it adrawn battle. Durert.—An affair of honor came off on Sunday, at Oak!and, between two lawyers of San Francisco, named Frank Turk and O. C. Hall.
