Spracux, Seventh Regiment Obio volunteers, gives the following account of the impression produced at Charleston by the taking of Port Royal, while be was a prisoner in the rebel jail: The shock produced in Charleston. by the taking of Port Royal was very great. it produced for a time a great panic, one curious effect of which was a marked difference in the deportment of citizens in reference to the prisoners, Previous to that event the Yankees were not noticed escept with manifestations of hatred and contempt. Overlooking the jail windows were the gen. eral houses, and from the windows of those dwellings no friendly sign, no «ken of recognition was ever given. The most sacred fraternal ties were ignored by those who were brought in contact with the prisoners, and the Southern ministers of the Gospel had no more compassion upon Chaplains of their own creed, in sickness and distress in the jail, than upon dogs in the street, When, however, the capture of Port Royal was announced, the ladies in the houwses referred to above began immediately to wave white kerchiefs from their windows toward the prison, and to kiss their bands toward the prisoners. A marked change was parceptible all around, the people being under ao impression that their city would soon be attacked and was liable to be captured by the Yankees. Information was conveyed to the captives by the guard, nany of whom were Irishmen; and Capt. Sprague says that if Col. Corcoran could have been at liberty in Charleston twenty four hours he could have raiseda full regimeot of Irishmen in that time to fight for the Union. Narrow Escareé FroM Inprans.— Last Friday morning Mr. Meador left Tuscan Springs, for a bunt, in the company of two others, When in the neighborhood of Salt creek, about seven miles east of this place, he separated from bis companions, with the intention of meeting on the bluff of Antelope. Mr. Meador got abead of bis comrades and seeing two persons at the place, he naturally supposed it to be them, but their number increased to about ten very suddenly, and he supposed them to be aleo a party of hunters as they had several dogs with them, Mr. Meador continued to approach and when within about one hundred yards, he fouod to his dismay that they were indians, and immediately changed his course to the direction that he knew his companions would come from, but was intercepted, and asked to stop and speak with . them. Mr. Meador did not think the situation convenient for a conversation, bat kept on bis way. One of them again called on him to stop, aod commenced to prepe his gun for asbot, At this juncture r. Meador commenced to increase the distance between them, and did some of bis best running until he came in sight of his companions, The Indians bad some three or four gans besides bows and quivers, and he thinks that they belonged to some ranch as they were all well clothed.—{Red Bluff Iodependent, FREEDOM oF THE Press.—There is a clase of newspaper writers who are constantly harping on the liberty of the press, and seem to live in constant fear of an abridgement of their privileges. A newspaper ehould bave the same righte awarded to it that any citizen bas, and no more, Because @ man utters bis sentiments in print, it ia. ¥ no eign that he should be allowed to breathe disloyalty or scatter about treasonable expressions; from the fact that he can disseminate them more generally than can be done ora}ly or by letter, it does not follow that be is not fully as amenable to the laws of the country, and subject to the same limitations as men acting in a more circumscribed capacity. An editor should no more be permitted to publish an insurrectionary address than a United States Senator should be allowed to write a letter direcled to a rebel chieftain, giving him the title of President of a so-called Confederecy; or a judicial officer allowed to toast an organization whose only aim is to break up and destroy our glorioas Union.—[Calaaay Paints Mixed & Gilt Frames made to Order.-@® . yeras Chronicle.

Ther Prisoners att Sr. Lovrs.—The St. Louis torrespondent of the Bulletiv, in noting the arrival of the Fort Donelson prisoners th that city, says: We bad sbont 8.000 of the prisotiers bete on Thursday, all at the same time. Wher the boat arrived from Cairo they were each allowed to lie up for several tours #&$ the city levee before proceeding to the Tlnois shote. Their presence Grew crowdst of thotsants to the wharf, who went ap* within 25 feet of the guards ‘of the boate/ chatted freely with the prisoners and threws them apples, oratiges, cakes and ples in & contintous stream, The ‘secesh’’ svon be-. came as cheerful 4s their entertainers, and scrambled vigorotsly for the edibles pitched to them by their visitors. Nota word of tanot or insult was ultered during the entire day, and all, even the most bratish and malignant among thetm were cothpelled to acknowledge that they could oot bave received better treatiment at the liands of their best friends. Some of thet when questioned expressed a quenchlees hatred of Black Republicans and Yankees, Others were tired of the war and were glad they were captured, as they cduld now have no further particpation in the strife. Others declared they had been detelved by the Seeesssion leaders into taking op arms against the Union, while not a few of them partieolarly the Tennesseans, averted that they had always been Union men at heart, and were drafted into the rebel service or compelled to enlist to avoid the disgrace of a draft, Eaet Tennessee they said was foll of Union men,who would take op arme . the moment a Government force came to their relief with arms and ammunition. A large majority of the prisoners acknow!ledge their cause was a desperate one, and that the Government forces would ultimately conquer. , ; Tax Reser, Prisoners.--The New York Evening Pct makes the following sugges: tions aa to bow to dispose of the rede) prisoners: j We do not know what the Government proposes to do with the 18,000 prisoners of war who have eapitulated to Gens. Burnside, Grant end McClernard; but we are convinced that the wisest and probably the most economiea! measare that eould be adopted, in regard to the private soldiers, wou'd be to disiribute them through the Northern and Eastern Stateg and make them a daily allowanee equal to what it would cost to support them in prison, and set them at liberty within ¢ertain linsite, on their parole. They eould then see for themselyer the benefits whieb freedom has browght us. They would find to their surprise that the laborer is valoed and respected here. ag greatly as he is despised in the slaveholding South, They wowld diseover that day-laborers at the North live mote comfortably than many of the slave‘owners and planters of the South, They would see the benefit of free schools and @ free press; would find the laws respected the more because men may discuss them without danger of tar and feathers; would find ali men seeking intelligence, because all doors are open to honest energy. They would see sogiety here to be something very different from the mixture of infidelity, agrarianism, turbulence and lawless strife which euch writers xe DeBow have pictured to them. And lastly, they would find nowhere that hatred of Southern men, or of the South, which they have been led, by the persistent falsehoods of the Herald, to suppose animates us. Comino Gratw Cror.—lt is, apparent that the grain crops of California for the current ear will be comparatively light; in fact, andoubtedly inadequate to the home consumption. In the lower counties, we nnderstand upon the uplands, the grain is springing, and presents a promising appearance, bat on the low lands farmers bave nut yet bad an opportunity to plow, in consequence of continued rains and the undue moist state of their grounds, The same cauees contribute {on amuch greater patio to the annoyance and discomfiture to farmers in the interior agricultaral counties, The upper counties of the State have suffered much more from the flood, and the season is now too far advanced to enable us to bope for anything of a crop in that direction, as nothing may be expected except from those who have been in the position to do 20, and planted on the uplands, In consequence, grain of all kinds will rule at a io figure the ensuing season, unless there should be an undue importation from foreign ports. Io the latter case, as always where there is . excessive importation, the market will be glatted, and ruling rates be even less than . in a season of plentiful domestic yield.— _[S. F.

Spracux, Seventh Regiment Obio volunteers, gives the following account of the impression produced at Charleston by the taking of Port Royal, while be was a prisoner in the rebel jail: The shock produced in Charleston. by the taking of Port Royal was very great. it produced for a time a great panic, one curious effect of which was a marked difference in the deportment of citizens in reference to the prisoners, Previous to that event the Yankees were not noticed escept with manifestations of hatred and contempt. Overlooking the jail windows were the gen. eral houses, and from the windows of those dwellings no friendly sign, no «ken of recognition was ever given. The most sacred fraternal ties were ignored by those who were brought in contact with the prisoners, and the Southern ministers of the Gospel had no more compassion upon Chaplains of their own creed, in sickness and distress in the jail, than upon dogs in the street, When, however, the capture of Port Royal was announced, the ladies in the houwses referred to above began immediately to wave white kerchiefs from their windows toward the prison, and to kiss their bands toward the prisoners. A marked change was parceptible all around, the people being under ao impression that their city would soon be attacked and was liable to be captured by the Yankees. Information was conveyed to the captives by the guard, nany of whom were Irishmen; and Capt. Sprague says that if Col. Corcoran could have been at liberty in Charleston twenty four hours he could have raiseda full regimeot of Irishmen in that time to fight for the Union. Narrow Escareé FroM Inprans.— Last Friday morning Mr. Meador left Tuscan Springs, for a bunt, in the company of two others, When in the neighborhood of Salt creek, about seven miles east of this place, he separated from bis companions, with the intention of meeting on the bluff of Antelope. Mr. Meador got abead of bis comrades and seeing two persons at the place, he naturally supposed it to be them, but their number increased to about ten very suddenly, and he supposed them to be aleo a party of hunters as they had several dogs with them, Mr. Meador continued to approach and when within about one hundred yards, he fouod to his dismay that they were indians, and immediately changed his course to the direction that he knew his companions would come from, but was intercepted, and asked to stop and speak with . them. Mr. Meador did not think the situation convenient for a conversation, bat kept on bis way. One of them again called on him to stop, aod commenced to prepe his gun for asbot, At this juncture r. Meador commenced to increase the distance between them, and did some of bis best running until he came in sight of his companions, The Indians bad some three or four gans besides bows and quivers, and he thinks that they belonged to some ranch as they were all well clothed.—{Red Bluff Iodependent, FREEDOM oF THE Press.—There is a clase of newspaper writers who are constantly harping on the liberty of the press, and seem to live in constant fear of an abridgement of their privileges.

An editor should no more be permitted to publish an insurrectionary address than a United States Senator should be allowed to write a letter direcled to a rebel chieftain, giving him the title of President of a so-called Confederecy; or a judicial officer allowed to toast an organization whose only aim is to break up and destroy our glorioas Union.—[Calaaay Paints Mixed & Gilt Frames made to Order.-@® . yeras Chronicle.

Ther Prisoners att Sr. Lovrs.—The St. Louis torrespondent of the Bulletiv, in noting the arrival of the Fort Donelson prisoners th that city, says: We bad sbont 8.000 of the prisotiers bete on Thursday, all at the same time. Wher the boat arrived from Cairo they were each allowed to lie up for several tours #&$ the city levee before proceeding to the Tlnois shote. Their presence Grew crowdst of thotsants to the wharf, who went ap* within 25 feet of the guards ‘of the boate/ chatted freely with the prisoners and threws them apples, oratiges, cakes and ples in & contintous stream, The ‘secesh’’ svon be-. came as cheerful 4s their entertainers, and scrambled vigorotsly for the edibles pitched to them by their visitors. Nota word of tanot or insult was ultered during the entire day, and all, even the most bratish and malignant among thetm were cothpelled to acknowledge that they could oot bave received better treatiment at the liands of their best friends. Some of thet when questioned expressed a quenchlees hatred of Black Republicans and Yankees, Others were tired of the war and were glad they were captured, as they cduld now have no further particpation in the strife. Others declared they had been detelved by the Seeesssion leaders into taking op arms against the Union, while not a few of them partieolarly the Tennesseans, averted that they had always been Union men at heart, and were drafted into the rebel service or compelled to enlist to avoid the disgrace of a draft, Eaet Tennessee they said was foll of Union men,who would take op arme . the moment a Government force came to their relief with arms and ammunition. A large majority of the prisoners acknow!ledge their cause was a desperate one, and that the Government forces would ultimately conquer. , ; Tax Reser, Prisoners.--The New York Evening Pct makes the following sugges: tions aa to bow to dispose of the rede) prisoners: j We do not know what the Government proposes to do with the 18,000 prisoners of war who have eapitulated to Gens. Burnside, Grant end McClernard; but we are convinced that the wisest and probably the most economiea! measare that eould be adopted, in regard to the private soldiers, wou'd be to disiribute them through the Northern and Eastern Stateg and make them a daily allowanee equal to what it would cost to support them in prison, and set them at liberty within ¢ertain linsite, on their parole. They eould then see for themselyer the benefits whieb freedom has browght us. They would find to their surprise that the laborer is valoed and respected here. ag greatly as he is despised in the slaveholding South, They wowld diseover that day-laborers at the North live mote comfortably than many of the slave‘owners and planters of the South, They would see the benefit of free schools and @ free press; would find the laws respected the more because men may discuss them without danger of tar and feathers; would find ali men seeking intelligence, because all doors are open to honest energy. They would see sogiety here to be something very different from the mixture of infidelity, agrarianism, turbulence and lawless strife which euch writers xe DeBow have pictured to them. And lastly, they would find nowhere that hatred of Southern men, or of the South, which they have been led, by the persistent falsehoods of the Herald, to suppose animates us. Comino Gratw Cror.—lt is, apparent that the grain crops of California for the current ear will be comparatively light; in fact, andoubtedly inadequate to the home consumption. In the lower counties, we nnderstand upon the uplands, the grain is springing, and presents a promising appearance, bat on the low lands farmers bave nut yet bad an opportunity to plow, in consequence of continued rains and the undue moist state of their grounds, The same cauees contribute {on amuch greater patio to the annoyance and discomfiture to farmers in the interior agricultaral counties, The upper counties of the State have suffered much more from the flood, and the season is now too far advanced to enable us to bope for anything of a crop in that direction, as nothing may be expected except from those who have been in the position to do 20, and planted on the uplands, In consequence, grain of all kinds will rule at a io figure the ensuing season, unless there should be an undue importation from foreign ports.
