Carr. J. W. 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

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

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.—
