The Pony arrived at the outer station, 221 miles east of Fort Churchill, at nine o'clock last evening, with dates from St, Joseph to the 7th inst. That place was in possession of a band of marauders, who had been engaged in the diabolical work of destroying railroad bridges and cutting tele graph wires. in consequence of which we have dates east of that point only to the 24 inet, The news of the capture, by the blockading squadron, of two rebel forts at Hatteras Eolet, on the coast of North Carolina, is the only military intelligence of importance received. The bombardment took place on the 28th and 29th of Augast, and the forts were surrendered on the latter day. Twenty-five cannon, one thousaed stand of arms, and some six or seven bundred prisoners, amoug whom are several exfiicers in the U. 8. service. The capture of these forts will give the Government pos: session of Pamlico Sound, which has lately beea used to a considerable extent as a reo dezvous for privateers. The public have been expecting to hear of some important military movements in the vicinity of Washington, but we have no later dates from that quarter, nor from St. Louis, than wae received by the previous Pony. The intelligence relitive to the capture of the forts at Hatteras [olet, must have been forwarded to St, Joseph before the 3d inst, Shoald telegraphic communication be again opened, the next Pony will bring w week’s later news, Tuw Loan ty Exaianp.—At latest advicvs from Europe the London papers were howling and suarling about the American loan, which they appear to have taken for granted the Government would endeavor to negotiate in that country. Day after day they were advising the public to have nothing to do with American securities, and their presistent efforts to depreciate the Government credit is pretty good evidence that capitalists are disposed to invest ia the U.S. bonds, It appears, however, that the advice of the Loudon papers is entirely unealled for, as at that time no aitempt bad been made to effect an Ameriean lean in England, and io all probability none will be made, A Pause Report, Prosas.y.—Some two weeks ago, a report was telegraphed from Yreka, to the effect that an emigrant train, consisting of about a buodred men, women, and children, had been massacred by Indiane, near Goose Lake, The report was given on the authority ofa maa who profussed to have esoaped. No further information has been received on the subject, and notbiog cau be learned as to who or where the man is, who brought the report {o Yeeka. There isevery reason for believing that the rumor was without foundation. Tue Vorz ror Governor,—According to the figures in yesterday’s Union, the vote for Governor as far ae heard from, stands a’ follows: Stanford, 53,532; Conness, 28,476; McConnell, 29,744—the total vote so far being 111,732. Three counties have not been heard from at all, and the returos ‘rom many others are only partial Apyiors from Arizona state that Apaches are committing fearful depredatioue, and the inhabitants are leaviog as fast as they can get away. Some are coming to California, but a majority are going to Texas. The Territory will soom be depopulated, Tus Revier Trai that went out from Virginia city about a week ago, to aida company of plundered emigrante, returned on the 10th inst., bringing in 15 men, 13 women, and 14 children. ene eee. Naya Movements.—A dispatch from San Franciseo, of the 12th inst., says: There are any number of rumors afloat as to recent naval movements on this coast. The steamer Wyoming sailed a day or two since, and on dit has it, in search of the ship Ashland which left this port for a load of guano. The revenue cutter Joe Lane is to go to sea to-day, and the cutter Wm. L. Marcy will shortly follow. Tue rebel women of Washington are ca!led “She-ceselonirts,”’ aos senna nent me Russeli’s Report of the ‘Battle of Bull un. Russell, the London Times’ correspoadent, acquired great reputation, during the Crimean war, as a tratbfal aad vivid describer of battles, As our readers are aware, he was among the “civilians” that accom” panied the Federal army to Bul! Run, and witoessed # portion of the battle. His two letters describing the action are not likely to add much to his reputation for truthfaless in this country; bis main object, apparently, being to make the affair appear asa barlesque. The first letter we have not seen, but a writer in the Chicago Tribane, who accompanied Russell from the field, bas called attention to some of bis statements, and pretty effectually convicts bim of telling a number of faleeboods, Iu the second letter occurs the following pas sage: When the statements in the American papers are compared with the facts I am aware it will be necessary to rely a little on “character,” in asking faith for what I report. There was not a bayonet charge made by the Federalist infantry during the day; there was nota charge of any kind made by the Confederate cavalry upon any regiments of their enemy until the latter broke, There was not a hand-to-hand encounter between “pf regiments. There was not a single “battery charged” or taken by the Federalists. There were no masked batteries in play by the former. There was no annihilation of rebel horse by Zouaves, Fire or other. A volley fired by one battallion emptied three saddles among a body of horse who iepenrss at some distance, and the infantry which performed the execution then retired. There were no desperate struggles except by those who wanted to get away. Now if we can believe the statements of correspondents on both sidee, writing for both the Northern and Southern papers, nearly every one of the foregoing sentences contains a falsehood. ————Pay or So.piens,—The following table will show the amount paid per month to the non-commissioned officers and privates of the regular and volunteer service, in accordance with the late act of Congress: Art’ry and Inf’try.

The mail must have been cut off, probably by some marauding party, at some point east of St. Joseph. The telegraph wires had not been interfered with up to Sept. 3d, two days after the Pony left St. Joseph, and the dispatches to the Associated Press make no mention of apy trouble on the mail route. Correr Mine.—The Virginia City Enterprise, of the 7th inst., says: The Cook brothers, who have just returned from the copper mine recently discovered in Genessee Valley, give us some interesting particnlars concerning it. The ore is found in a white crystalized quartz lode about five feet wide, the vein of copper being about two feet in width—the balance of the lead contains some gold. The copper ore assays from 75 to 80 per cent. of copper. About twenty-five tons of ore have already been taken out, and the company will either ship it, or commence operations on their own account in a short time. The opinion. of those best acquainted with that region is that the entire range in that section will prove rich in various kinds of minerals, Cannon Stonen.—A cannon belonging to the citizens of Santa Cruz, and used for firing salutes, wasstolen recently from a foundry, where it was placed for safe keeping.

Our city and all the roads lead.ng out are in possession of the rebels, When communication will be restored it is impossible to conjec ture. The following is the official report of the Hatteras inlet affair to the Secretary of the Navy: I have to inform you that we have been eminently successful; all that could be wiehed for by the most hopeful has been accomplished. We are taking aboard the Minnesota officers aud men, numbering 617, who surrendered after bombardment from the fleet during a portion of two days. (Signed.) 5. H.

The expedition to Hatteras inlet resulted id a signal victory over the rebels, The U. S. troops captured two forts, 25 cannon, 1000 stand of arms and 712 prisoners. Among them are Capt. Samuel Barron, Lieut. Sharp and Dr. Brown, late U.S. Navy, and Major Andrews, late U.S.A. The loss on their side is not yet learned, though five are known to be killed and a number wounded, many of whom were corried away. Lieut. Murdock, a late U.S. A. officer, was among the number wounded, with the loss ofanarm, Webave had no casualty of consequence, The surrender was unconditional. 300 men landed amid a beavy surf, when the man-of-war hauled in and commenced a cannonade at 10 a. M., on the 28tb of August, and kept it up at intervals all the day. It recommenced on the 29th with increased efforts. The enemy altempted to land 1600 men in the fort but were driven back. At1l1-2 they displayed the white flag and were foreed to surrender at diseretion, A number of the leading financiers, including the presidents of some of the New York banks now in the city, are urging the President for certain changes in the conduct of the war. They propose that the Government, with an ample force, cause the rebels to abandon their threatened attack on Washiogton by making counter aitacks at various points South, The State Depart meant will not issue passes to any body to pasa from loyal States into rebel States, Since the ater through Louisville was stopped the demand for pastes has been very large. Most of the applicants are women who have been living North, It is stated that the 20th of August is the time the rebels anticipated being in poses sion of St Louis. Tho remains of Gen.

When the express train, bound West, came up, it was burled over the embank ment, and engine, tender, baggage, and one passenger car precipitated into the river, There were 15 killed and about 20 wounded. ee —— SympToms or THE Wak Fever.—Men cannot think, or write, or attend to their ordinary business. They stroll up and down the streets, they saunter out upon the public places. We confessed to an illustrious author that we laid down the volume of his work, which we were reading, when the war broke out. It was as interesting as aromance, but the romance of the past grew pale before the red light of the terrible present. Meeting the same author not long afterwards, he confessed he had laid down his own pen at the same time that we had closed his book. He could not write about the sixteenth century any more than we could read about it, while the nineteenth century was in the very agony and bloody sweat of its great sacrifice. Another most eminent scholar told us in all simplicity that he had fallen into such a state that he would read the same telegraphic despatches over and over again in different papers, as if they were new, until he felt as if he were an idiot. Who did not do just the same thing and does not often do it still, now that the first flush of the fever is over? Another person always goes through the side streets on his way for the noon extra—he is so afraid son.ebody will meet him and tell the news he wishes to read, first on the bulletin board, and then in the great capitals and leaded type of the newspaper.—[Atlantic Monthly, for September. New AXRANGEMENT TO Mest PRivatKers, ~The New York correspondent of the Bulletin, writing August 24, says: Spofford, Tileston & Co., of this city, recently vy anton to Government a most admirable plan for the defense of our merchant steamers against the attacks of pirates, which plan was at once adopted by the Navy Department, and will be immediately carried into effect on the Havana line, owned by the above-named firm. The arrangement is, for Government to place one naval officer and 15 gunners on board of each of the Havana steamers, the owners agreeing to feed the officers and men thus furnished, and thus saving the United States, not only the expense of two first-class steamers well manned, but the cost also of provisioning them. Each of these steamers now carries 2 rifled 9pounders, throwing 18-pound shots, on their main deck. Itis presumed that the Government will consent to treble that amount, and thus make the Havana packets equal to the most formidable privateers. A precedent is thus established, which will no doubt be carried out on all large merchant steamers traversing our coast and the Gulf, and especially those in the California lines. The arrangement could be advantageously extended to the European steamers, as well as to those in the Pacific waters. SuerMan’s Battery Not Taxen.—The rebels und their sympathisers have bragged considerably over the taking of what was Sherman’s Battery, under the command of Captain Ayers, at Bull’s Run. A letter received by Irvin Ayers, of this place, from his brother, contradicts the statement, and says, instead of losing any of their guns, they brought away rifled cannon belonging to the rebels. We quote from the letter: *“Romayn (Capt. Ayres) was on the 3d of July summoned to command Sherman’s Battery, and by his genius, gallantry, and resistless hardihood, won his way at once to the front rank in the army, and the public approbation. He 1s preferred ne and another for the highest position in the service, He brought from the field (at Bull’s Run) on the 21st, his own Battery, besides two of the enemy’s pieces. The South insists that they have taken the famous Battery, and many are the features of the daring fight in which they say they captured the ns Thus it appears that the reported capture of the famous Sherman’s Battery is all bosh, as the rebels will yet find to their sorrow, should the gallant Captain Ayres still command it.— {Red Bluff Independent. Deatu OF AN AGED MATRON.—The mother of the Hon. D. D. Field, lawyer, of New York; Rev. H. M. Field, of Massachusetts; Cyrus M. Field, the ocean telegraph Beatestory Jonathan Field, a distinguished jurist of Berkshire county Mass.; and Stephen J. Field, Chief Justice of the Supecine Court of California; died recenth in Stockbridge, Mass. Her sons have a achieved distinction in their various professions. Deceased was upwards of eighty years of age at the time of her decease. She leaves a husband, who has been for over halfa century pastor of the church at Stockbridge. ‘ INDIANS ov Nevapa Territory.—The Pah-Ute Indians number, it is estimated, 7,500 men, Women and children, and the Washoes . but 600. Both tribes are increasing rather than diminishing their numbers. The principal Chiefs are exceedingly anxious that their people should learn and follow agricultural pursuits, or as they express themselves, “they want to farm-—live like white man.” Jou mercial Advertiser, on the authority of Gg, P. Putnam of that city, who was an eyewitness of what be describes, intimates thay the fleetest of the runners, and the mos panic stricken of the crowd was Mr. Bosee!. , the correspondent of the London Times, “At this moment,” says Mr. Putnam, “from the direction of Centreville there came rughj onward a confused mass of tra~ ~portation waons, ambulances, congressmen, carriages orsemen, pedestrians, etc., all in headlong flight; and, leading all, came a solitary horgg. man, English as to his aspect, and fat and rug. dy as to his appearance. He galloped up to, point where a Michigan regiment was bed up across the road, and demanded, in stammer. ing tones, a passage through the lines, His stammering utterance was more confused, ow. ing to the doubt im his own mind whether he was at the mercy of a Union or Secession regi. ment, The Colonel refused to allow him to ass, but finally yielded, on his asserting that e was a civilian, and that he had a pass from Gen.

About twenty-five tons of ore have already been taken out, and the company will either ship it, or commence operations on their own account in a short time. The opinion. of those best acquainted with that region is that the entire range in that section will prove rich in various kinds of minerals, Cannon Stonen.—A cannon belonging to the citizens of Santa Cruz, and used for firing salutes, wasstolen recently from a foundry, where it was placed for safe keeping.

They stroll up and down the streets, they saunter out upon the public places. We confessed to an illustrious author that we laid down the volume of his work, which we were reading, when the war broke out. It was as interesting as aromance, but the romance of the past grew pale before the red light of the terrible present. Meeting the same author not long afterwards, he confessed he had laid down his own pen at the same time that we had closed his book. He could not write about the sixteenth century any more than we could read about it, while the nineteenth century was in the very agony and bloody sweat of its great sacrifice. Another most eminent scholar told us in all simplicity that he had fallen into such a state that he would read the same telegraphic despatches over and over again in different papers, as if they were new, until he felt as if he were an idiot. Who did not do just the same thing and does not often do it still, now that the first flush of the fever is over? Another person always goes through the side streets on his way for the noon extra—he is so afraid son.ebody will meet him and tell the news he wishes to read, first on the bulletin board, and then in the great capitals and leaded type of the newspaper.—[Atlantic Monthly, for September. New AXRANGEMENT TO Mest PRivatKers, ~The New York correspondent of the Bulletin, writing August 24, says: Spofford, Tileston & Co., of this city, recently vy anton to Government a most admirable plan for the defense of our merchant steamers against the attacks of pirates, which plan was at once adopted by the Navy Department, and will be immediately carried into effect on the Havana line, owned by the above-named firm. The arrangement is, for Government to place one naval officer and 15 gunners on board of each of the Havana steamers, the owners agreeing to feed the officers and men thus furnished, and thus saving the United States, not only the expense of two first-class steamers well manned, but the cost also of provisioning them. Each of these steamers now carries 2 rifled 9pounders, throwing 18-pound shots, on their main deck. Itis presumed that the Government will consent to treble that amount, and thus make the Havana packets equal to the most formidable privateers. A precedent is thus established, which will no doubt be carried out on all large merchant steamers traversing our coast and the Gulf, and especially those in the California lines. The arrangement could be advantageously extended to the European steamers, as well as to those in the Pacific waters. SuerMan’s Battery Not Taxen.—The rebels und their sympathisers have bragged considerably over the taking of what was Sherman’s Battery, under the command of Captain Ayers, at Bull’s Run. A letter received by Irvin Ayers, of this place, from his brother, contradicts the statement, and says, instead of losing any of their guns, they brought away rifled cannon belonging to the rebels. We quote from the letter: *“Romayn (Capt. Ayres) was on the 3d of July summoned to command Sherman’s Battery, and by his genius, gallantry, and resistless hardihood, won his way at once to the front rank in the army, and the public approbation. He 1s preferred ne and another for the highest position in the service, He brought from the field (at Bull’s Run) on the 21st, his own Battery, besides two of the enemy’s pieces. The South insists that they have taken the famous Battery, and many are the features of the daring fight in which they say they captured the ns Thus it appears that the reported capture of the famous Sherman’s Battery is all bosh, as the rebels will yet find to their sorrow, should the gallant Captain Ayres still command it.— {Red Bluff Independent.
