Yost OLD DUST PURCHASED AT THE . writes: A gentleman of this city, just returned from Winchester, where be has been to look . after some relatives of his, who bad bowed to the knee of Jefferson Baal, reports a ‘scene of desolation utterly indescribable, OLD DUST Purchased at the Highest Market . . but they are few and far between, Bay~ Collections made, and State and County Se. free labor. He says the eountry looks much like the desert between Cairo and Suez, There are nooks, bowever, out of the way of the main roads, in and about Winchester, and the eamelis true of the region around Leesburg, where the foot of the destroyer did not get, The slaves are rapidly muking their way out of houdage, across Maryland into the land of Nobody is found to distrust them any longer. Large squads of them, confiscated by our generals in front, under the act of Congress, are furnished with evi 99, of all ages and sizes, passed through this city in charge ofan officer to Philadelphia, from General Banks’ division. They . were surrounded at the cars by hundreds . they could. . lookout, and sure enough of their own color, who poured their scanty offerings into the hands of the redeemed, amid general rejoicing, It was a most touching seene, for there were in the group two aged women, bowed down with the slave toil, and they evinced great emotion at their deliverance. Anovher equad . of some hundred or more went through Frederick last week to Pennsylvania,where there is great demand for farm labor, Hun. dreds are daily released by the generals in front of Washington, in the advance. The father and son of a Uniou family took to the woods to avoid being impressed into the rebel array. They were fed and subsisted by the wife and daughters as best One day one of the daughters, being at the upper window of the house, espied the approaching Union forees, She ran below stairs, crying out to her mother, . “The Yankees are coming, the Yankees are coming!’ The whole party rushed to the the gleaming bayonets of our soldiers saluted their glad. dened eyes, They shouted and wept for joy. Ina short time their hidden father aud brother were at their bouse door to welcome our mea, and they did it with a} will, dence of their freedom. A few days ago Prorosep Lever ror Strocxton.—The San Joaquin Republican of May 8th, says: George E. Drew, County Surveyor, pre sented to (he Council last evening an elabe orate plan embodying the ideas of a levee and canal for the protection of Stockton, He . proposes to form the eastern portion somewhat ip the form ofa triangle, one point being nbout ove mile east of the center of the east environ line of the city; another point ata poiuton Mormon Slough about three blocks east of the city line; and the . third ata point on the northera’ environ . line to correspond, He prupores also to carry the north levee on the environ line . down into the tules, about half a mile west of the west line of the city, Tre canal, . which is of course to be outside of the levee . is figured ou the south side at the width of 150 feet at the bottom, and from three to eight feet deep, as circumstances may de. mand; the embankment 75 feet wide at the . top. On the north side, the canal at 100) feet at the bottom, and the embankment 60 feet at the top. It is calculated for the embankment to be 4feet above high water mark of last winter. It is also proposed to excavate Mormon Slough, and cut it to a} wiath of 250 feet. The old Sonora. Mokelumre Hill, and Upper Sacramento roads will all pages over the levee should it be built, . It is estimated that the cost of the work . would be about $110,000. Tue Norturrn Bounpary.—Tbhe Dalles Mountaineer of May 11'h, says: Last week Co!, Hawkins, Capts. Hague and Lord, and Lieuts, Anderson and Wilgon, of the British Boundary Commission, passed through this place on their way to . Kogiaud via Victoria, having finist ed the work, They commenced operations one year later than the American party, and . have been in the field four yeara, The work done consists in a road or trail varying from 6 to 30 feet wide along the 49th parallel of uorth latitude, from the sea on the west to the summit of the Rocky Mountainsoo the east, and bas cost the British Govertunent on their part, over $200,000 a year, besides outside expenses unconnected with the surveying party. Missinc.—A man by the name of Gris. wold, residing at Hambug Valley, Plumas . county,ihe Standard says very mysteriously disappeared from his residence last week, and bas not yet been beard of. He left his stock on the ranch and household goods, witbout any one to care for them. A difficulty, itappears, existed between himself and wife, who, it is stated, went off with another party. . mainder fled, Rumors from Southern California and Arizona, The Los Angeles News of April 30th, says: Rumors bave been current in town during the week to the effeet that a portion of Col, Carleton’s advance guard bas been cut off and captured by the rebels in Arizona. Some accounts bave it that two companies have been taken prisoners, Jt is further stated that there is a force of 1,509 rebels at Tucson, ready to dispute the passage of Col, Carleton’s command, There may or may not be any truth in these ramors, bot we incline to the belief that force has been concentrating in Arizona for a long time past, and that it has been constantly augmenting by the arrival of reinforcements from California. We believe that the only motive whieh govern this band is plunder, Could they suceeed in forcing their way into this section of the State, the sympathizer with treason would suffer alike with the Union man. No distinction is made by sueh guerilla bands as the one now supposed to be rendezvousing in Arizona. The exactions practiced by the Texan force in New Mexico upon all, classes, is indicative of what they would do here. Bat we apprehend that the danger of their presence bere is far distant. Eveu suppose the rumor trae, which we do not believe, of the cutting off of the two companies, the main body of the troops are not far distant, and, we feel assured, will give a good account of themselves, should they meeta body of these outlaws We tearn thata gentleman arrived bere . from Fort Yuma yesterday, who says there was no truth in the rumor of the cutting off of two companies of Colonel Carleton’s command, The same paper of May 2d remarks: A ramor was rife in town on Wednesday, that a detachment of troops, numbering 12 men, who bad been sent eastward from Fort Yuma, had been surprised and fired upon . by a party of 16, killing the captain com. manding the troops, one soldier, and wounding chrve or four others, The firing upon the soldiers was from an ambuscade; the soldiers charged upon the attacking party, capturing three Arizona rebels, The reThe above report was put in circulation here on the statement of a man who, it is said, arrived here direct from the Colorado, Several citizens, we are informed beard his statement We eet the above down } asa probable rumor, which was current in . that viciuily at the time the parties left. True or untrae, as the case may be, it is just what may be expected if soldiers are found in Arizona iv small squads, Lieut. Pierce, who some time since left Camp Latbam with acommand of eight men, arrived here on Wednesday about noon, we searn, direct from the crossing of the Colorado river at Fort Mojave. Lieut. Pierce was absent some 25 days, and itis to be boped made a thorough reconnoisance of . the country in tbe vicinity of the gap, (Mohave Crossing) tbrough which the rebel States have been so long receiving supplies avd armed reinforcements from California, . Lt is well known that operations avd com. munications of a suspicious character bave been carried on through this gap for a great length of time. It is said the report of Lieut, Pierce will set forth some startling facts; facts which will open the eyes of all in authority at headquarters in San Fraacixco, A Manriagk a Hunorep Yrars AGo.— The following extract from the Gentlemen’s Magazine for 1750, may vot be uninteresting to our readers: Married, in June, 1750, Mr. William Don« kin, a considerable farmer, of Great Tos. son, (near Rothbarry,) in the county of . Northumberland, to Miss Eleanor Shoton, 'anagreeable young gentlewoman of the came place. The entertainment on this oc. casion was very grand, there being proviued uo less than 120 quarters of lamb, 44 quarters of veal, 20 quarters of mutton, @ great quantity of beef, 12 bam, with a suit. able number of chickens, ete., which was concluded with eight balf anklers of brandy. made into punch, 12 dozen of cider, @ great many gallons of wine, and ninety bushels of malt made into beer, The company consisted of 6558 ladies and geutlemeu, who concluded with the musie of twenty-five fiddlers and pipers, and the whole was concluded with the utmost order and unanimity, More Apovut tHE INvian Fiant.—We are informed by W, W. Green, who resides oa Big Stony Creek, and who participated in the late fight with the Indiane who killed Watson and committed the depredations were a roving band of Pitt River Indians, under the lead of the notorious Hat Creek Lize, well known in the Pitt River country as a desperate Indian woman of large stature, and celebrated for various barbarities This squaw and two others were killed ia the desperate fight io which Ford and shannoo fell. Green says that as the attack ben at dawo of pe and the squawe were fightin by the side of the male Indiana, the killing of the former was unavoidable, but oot intended.—(Coluse Sun.
