TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 23, 1862 —+ -Tux Barrie or AntTixramM.—This is the name given to the battle fought near Sharpsburg, Md.,on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, Judging from the meagre accounts thus far received, it was the most bloody engagement of the war. A dispatch from the battle field, dated Thursday morniog, stated that the Federal locs ia killed and wounded was estimated ét trom ten to twelve thousand, and that the enemy’s lose would not exceed ours. Bute later dispatch eays, after our forces had occopied the whole field the rebel loss was found to be far greater than at first supposed. Full twenty-five hundred dead were found lying on the field, and # much larger number had been buried the day before by friends. Their loss ia killed and wounded, it is said, will not fall short of eighteen or twenty thousand. The rebels were defeated in the engagement, but retreated io good order, saving the greater part of their transportation traios,and all but three huodred of their wounded. There is reason to believe that measures have been taken to intercept the retreat of the rebel army. Heintzleman, who was in command of a large corps, had been left at Wasbington, ostensibly to protect that place, and we hear nothing of the corps of Banks and Sigel ia the late engagements. Tue Peoposep New Reotment.—Io answer to an inqairy, as to whether a company from Nevada would be accepted, in the regiment it is proposed to raise to go East, we received a dispatch from Mr. Lent, yesterday, stating that they were waiting orders from Wasbington, when they would let us know. We do not know the nature of the orders for which they are waiting, but itseems that no movement has yet been made below towards recruitiog. We learn, however, from other sources, that if a regiment is raised, there will be no difficulty in having a company from this county accepted. It is expected that three or four companies will be organized at San Francisoo, one at Marysville, one at Sacramento,and the remaining companies in the miaes; but it is calculated that a large proportion of the men composing the companies organized in the cities will come from the mountains. More Inptan Murpers.—A dispatch from Salt Lake, dated on Sunday last, says that Chas. McBride, arrived there the day before, one of a party of fifteen from Virginia City, bound for the States. The party was attacked by Snake Indians, at the City of Rooks, on the Humboldt route. They fought the savages twenty miles, losing six killed and two wounded, and, all their outfit. The names of the parties killed were John Commer, Jobo Sharpe, Beojamin White, James Sgow, Wm. Davis and Goodman; aod Jobo Foster and Samuel Kelly had their arms broken. Reports of Indian depredations are coming in daily, and it is expected the late emigration will have mach trouble, Rovseo.— A dispatch to yesterday’s Journal states that John A. Seely, of North San Juan, while returning to his home from Bope’s ranch,in company with his wife, was stopped on the road by a robber, and relieved of a valuable gold watch and twenty dollars in movey. Duriog the operation, the robber remarked that he bad served seven years in the State Prison, and intended to get even. {us.—Messrs, Hall, Thompson and Stone, have purchased the stock and interest of Messrs. Hawk & Co, in the ice business, and will continue to supply saloons, familea, etc., on the same terms as their predeceasore. For tuk East.—Mr-Crosette, editor of the Butte Record, announces that be will leave, on the steamer of October lst, for the Atlantic States, and will be absent sev. eral months. A BworD, valued at $2,000, is to be sent to Gen. Joseph W. Hooker, by parties io Sae Francisco, Gen. Hooker was formerly a resident of California. Five bundred dollars, in U. S. Treasury Notes, sold at San Francisco, the otber day, at qinety-aix ceuts on the dollar. ; sarc nega mmarmneaet name oN SURRENDER O& port mentioned in a dispatch in our last is sue, that Mumfordaville, Ky., had been captured by the rebels, is confirmed. A Louisville dispatch, of the 20th iust., gives the following particulars: At the surrender of Mumfordsville, on Wednesday morning, the rebels took about 4,000 prisoners, who are reported to have been subuently paroled. In Sunday’s fight at that point the rebels attacked us with eleven regiments, On Tuesday there was skirmishing for 23 hours, the rebels endeavoring to gain the north bank of the river, in which they lost 11 killed. On Tuesday n ht Buckner’s division was added to the attacking force, and the fight was renewed on Wednesday, and continued until the Federal ammunition gave out, A surrender then followed. Another dispatch says the Federals lost ten pieces of artillery, and tbat their loss in killed dnd wounded does not exceed fifty. They were completely surrounded by Bragg’s forces, estimated at about thirty thoueand. ae Grapes in Tae Navy.—The present grades are ten ia number, namely: Admirals, RearAdmirals, Commodores, Captains, Comman. ders, Lieutenant-Commanders, Lieutenants, Mastere, Ensigos, and Midshipmen. The relative rank between officers or the navy and army is fixed as follows: Admirals rank with Major-Generals, Commodures with Brigadier-Generals, Captaios with Colonels, Lieutenant-Commanders with Aajors, Lieu tenants with Captains, Masters with First Lieutenants, and Essigns with Second Lieutenants, Of the two new grades there are to be nine Admirals and eighteen Commodores, The first only are to be selected on nomination by the Presideut, the second by a board of officers, San Francisco bas already contributed $135,000 for the benefit of sick and wounded eoldiers, and the subscription papers are still open. The purpoee is to raise quarter of a million in that city alone, The movement should be extended over the whole State, and we doubt pot will be. California has not suffered as much as otber States by the war, and ber citizens have not been called upon for the full quota of volunteers under the late chlls; but we bave as deep an interest as the people of otber States in the preservation of the Governoment, and if the proper efforts are made, the State will contribute a princely sum for the benefit of the soldiers who are fighting the battles of our country. Geverats Hooker anp Meacuer,—By late dispatches from the Hast, it appears that the wound of Gen. Hooker, at the battle of Antietam, is more serious than at first supposed, and fears are entertained that it may cause the lockjaw. He is one of the bravest and best of our generals,and we earnestly hope he may recover. Geo. Meagher, we rejoice to learn, was not killed, but only wounded; and from the wording of the dispatch, we judge bis wound is not regarded as dungerous, Gen. StgEL.—Our German citizens, feeling proud of the acts of General Sigel, as éVery true man is, have decided to inform him, in a most substantial manner, that they appreciate his acts in aid of the Union, his love of liberty, and his Generalship, during the war of Rebellion. They intend to forward to him a specimen of California manufacture, which will tell him that in this far off country he has friends who love and admire him. The testimonial will be a “gold eagle,” rosy ornamented with precious stones and other adornments, which will enhance its richness. The cost of ag esent when completed will be $1,000.— [S. F. Journal, NoraBLe Deatu.—Rear Admiral George C. Read, died at the Naval Asylum, Philadelhia, of which institution he was Governor, on riday, August 22d. Admiral Read was a native a Treland, but entered the service of the United Staths in 1804. “For more than half a century, he was everywhere, and upon all occasions where duty called him, upheld the flag and maintained the rights and honor of the the country. vice, unwavering in his patriotism and his attachment to the Union.” So says an order from the Navy Department. Deceased was a Lieutenant on board the Constitution when that vessel captured the Guerriere. StnovLar Cass.—James Murphy, a stout able-bodied young man, well known in Columbia, according to the Sonora Flag, volunteered recently to serve in Col. Connor's regiment, but upon being inspected by the medical officer was rejected Secnuse he had false teeth. He never had a natural tooth in his life. A singular freak of nature. Stock ton.—The assesscd value of property in Stockton is as follows: Value of town lots, $592,667; value of improvements thereon, $636,227; value of personal property, $1,919,180; total, $3,148,083. The taxes of all kinds, except for city purposes, amount to $2.20 on each $100. SILVER AND CoprEeR.—We learn that a silver lode, equal in richness to any in Washoe, has been struck on the. Fremont estate, near the town of Mariposa. It is also reported that a valuable copper mine has been opened near the same . ty. The discoveries have created quite an excitement. UMFORDSVILLE.—The reHe breathed his last in her ser-. BY TELEGRAPH. [SPECIAL TO THB DEMOCRAT.] San branctaco, Sept, 23d. The steamer Pacific arrived last vight from British Colambia and Oregon, with two bundred passengers, and $83,269 iu treasure. The Oregon telegraph line is completed between Portland aod Canonville. The total receipts of the patriotic fund in Oregon, up to the 19th, was nearly eight thousand dollars. The opposition line of steamers, via. the Nicaragua route, will make monthly tripe. Rates of passage will be announced in ten days. Geo. Wright yesterday pardoned thirteen soldiers, confined at Alcatraz, for various infractions of military law. The American Theater was crowded last night to bear Starr King’s lecture for the benefit of the patriotic fund. It will net about one thousand dollars, Subscriptions in this city now reach $135,000 and still continue, The amount raised far exceeds the expectation of the most sanguine. A dispatch from New York, dated yesterday, acknowledges the receipt of $100,000 sent by telegraph to the President of the Sanitary Fund last Saturday. A Washington dispatch of the 22d says the reported death of Gen Meagher is incorrect. He was only wounded. Gen. Hooker’s wound is serious aud liable to superinduce lockjaw. The rebels are planting bateries on the south side of the Potomac to prevent Mc Clellan from crossing. The Eastern line is working to day, but nothing later than the above has been received. TELEGRAPHIC FROM THE EAST. THE BATTLE AT SHARPSBURG. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.—Midnight.—The following intelligence has just been received from McClellan’s army: Early last night the enemy commenced crossing the Potomac at Shepardstown, by the bridge and_ fords above and below. During the night McClellan advanced his batteries and shelled them from the surrounding hills. The dead and wounded found this morning evinced the ability of our officers in directing the fire of the guns. Gen. Pleasanton was despatched this morning in pursuit, with two batteries and two regiments of infantry, through the gap in the hills. He succeeded in cutting off their ammunition, supplies; etc., besides a small portion of a South Carlina brigade. Pleasanton shelled the enemy with effect as they passed through a ravine. The last seen of them they were flyin in the direction of Winchester, It is suppose: that they would retreat precipitately to Richmond. Our entire army had crossed the Antietam creek and was massed between there ‘and the Potomac, opposite Shepardstown. There is every evidence that McClellan would cross the river. The loss of our generals and field officers of our army is so large as to be unaccountable. Rebel deserters represent their loss in officers to be equally severe. It was understood that Burnside had crossed into Virginia via Harper's Ferry, and was moving on the enemy. eserters report that the recent movement of the rebels in escaping into Virginia is conducted solely by Stonewall Jackson,, the other chief officers—Gens. Lee, Longstreet, ete—being either wounded or too much fatigued to be efficient. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc, Sept. 20.—The rebel army has succeeded in making their escape from Maryland. They saved the greater part of their transportation, and carried off all their wounded except 300. During the “~~ on binges nearly every house in Sharpsburg was struck by our shells. The name given to the battle is Antietam. After our forces had the whole field, the rebels loss was found tobe far greater than supposed, full 2500 were found on the field, while a much larger number were buried the day before by friends. Their loss in killed and wounded will not fall short of 20,000. The Rebel Gens. Ripley, Walker and Hays were wounded, and Gen. Clark killed. Our troops are in excellent spirits over the result. Freperick, Md., Sept. 20.—Gentlemen who left Boonesboro last night, say that considerable firing between Federal and rebel batteries, across the Potomac, had occurred—the latter compnertay to prevent our pursuit at the river ank. Burnside is on the Virginia side of the Potomac pursuing the rebels. The rebels on their way to the Potomac destroyed a large portion of their amunition and artillery, to prevent its falling into our hands, BATTLE AT INKA, MISS. Carro, Sept. 20,—Considerations of public policy have prevented the mention of the movements of troops in the vicinity of Corinth till now. On Thursday, Gen. Rosencranz marched from Corinth in the direction of Inka, Miss., where he met Gen. Price, with a force fifteen thousand strong, who seemed to be making for Eastport, with the intention of crossing the Tennessee river, and joining ‘Bragg, in Kentucky. At four o’clock yesterday, a heavy skirmishing commenced and continued till nightfall. Karly this morning the fight was renewed and continued till noon, while the enemy gave way, retreating southward. The Federal oss is not far from 6500, killed and wounded. The rebel loss not ascertained but must onseet ours; among them are Gen. Little, formerly Gov. of Miss., killed; Gen. Whitfield, severely wounded and a prisoner. We took five hundred prisoners. Our army is in full pursuit of the pay on rebels, and hopes are entertained that we shall be able, at least, to capture the enemy's artillery. ae RD I A OTRene. Arrocity.—Major Cassidy, a released prisoner, furnishes the Albany Argus with the following incident of rebel cruelty: Capt. Warner of the rebel service, Commissary of the Libby prision at Richmond, was telling us one day of a joke of his. It appears that soon after the battle of Bull Run, a young Union soldier was brought into Dr. Higinbotham’s hospital, and there his leg was amputated just above the knee. Warner, who was present at the operation, obtained some India ink and a needle, and pricked into the remaining stump, ‘This is Lincoln’s doings.” The poor fellow, insensible almost with pain, not having uttered a sound before, now groaned with agony to have been thus insulted, and he unable to resent it. This, Capt. Warner told us, in the presence of the Rev. Mr. Moore of the Presbyterian Church of Richmond, who blushed with shame at the recital of the cruelty of this miserable ruffian. : Tue DirrerRence.— The London Times, speaking of the draft of soldiers for the Union . rene AMOUNT OF WAKRKANTS DRAWN De nING Tite . cause, says, “the scheme of a forcible levy of troops in a republic to subjugate and hold down another republic, is one that will hardly be se. On General Fund .. riously proposed even by the more fanatical of Mr. Lincoln's advisers.’ forcible levy of troops in one part of the republic, to put down and destroy the Government, encountered no such protest from the London Times. That scheme was quite in keeping with its notions of propriety. Jeff. Davis is cheered at Oxford for it. Everything in John Bull’seyes is quite lawful and proper which aims at destaoying the Government of the United States; nothing which aims to presegye it can be tolerated. John will see the result of his teachings on the subject by-and-by. “SK EDADDLERS.”—They have an exemplary way of serving “skedaddlers” in Maine. When news of the contemplated draft was recived in the town of Norway a number of rebel sympathisers banded together, and resolved to follow the example of the Revolutionary Tories by emigrating to the British provinces. Making due preparations for the journey, they ‘‘skedaddled” out of the back doors, and took the ordered to arrest all fugitive send them back to await the draft. Quick as lightning the guilty ones sprang up seized their carpet-bags, leaped from the train, and plunged at dowble quick into the swamp. They have not been heard of since.

Journal, NoraBLe Deatu.—Rear Admiral George C. Read, died at the Naval Asylum, Philadelhia, of which institution he was Governor, on riday, August 22d. Admiral Read was a native a Treland, but entered the service of the United Staths in 1804. “For more than half a century, he was everywhere, and upon all occasions where duty called him, upheld the flag and maintained the rights and honor of the the country. vice, unwavering in his patriotism and his attachment to the Union.” So says an order from the Navy Department. Deceased was a Lieutenant on board the Constitution when that vessel captured the Guerriere. StnovLar Cass.—James Murphy, a stout able-bodied young man, well known in Columbia, according to the Sonora Flag, volunteered recently to serve in Col. Connor's regiment, but upon being inspected by the medical officer was rejected Secnuse he had false teeth. He never had a natural tooth in his life. A singular freak of nature. Stock ton.—The assesscd value of property in Stockton is as follows: Value of town lots, $592,667; value of improvements thereon, $636,227; value of personal property, $1,919,180; total, $3,148,083. The taxes of all kinds, except for city purposes, amount to $2.20 on each $100. SILVER AND CoprEeR.—We learn that a silver lode, equal in richness to any in Washoe, has been struck on the. Fremont estate, near the town of Mariposa. It is also reported that a valuable copper mine has been opened near the same . ty. The discoveries have created quite an excitement. UMFORDSVILLE.—The reHe breathed his last in her ser-. BY TELEGRAPH. [SPECIAL TO THB DEMOCRAT.] San branctaco, Sept, 23d. The steamer Pacific arrived last vight from British Colambia and Oregon, with two bundred passengers, and $83,269 iu treasure. The Oregon telegraph line is completed between Portland aod Canonville. The total receipts of the patriotic fund in Oregon, up to the 19th, was nearly eight thousand dollars. The opposition line of steamers, via. the Nicaragua route, will make monthly tripe. Rates of passage will be announced in ten days. Geo. Wright yesterday pardoned thirteen soldiers, confined at Alcatraz, for various infractions of military law. The American Theater was crowded last night to bear Starr King’s lecture for the benefit of the patriotic fund. It will net about one thousand dollars, Subscriptions in this city now reach $135,000 and still continue, The amount raised far exceeds the expectation of the most sanguine. A dispatch from New York, dated yesterday, acknowledges the receipt of $100,000 sent by telegraph to the President of the Sanitary Fund last Saturday. A Washington dispatch of the 22d says the reported death of Gen Meagher is incorrect. He was only wounded. Gen. Hooker’s wound is serious aud liable to superinduce lockjaw. The rebels are planting bateries on the south side of the Potomac to prevent Mc Clellan from crossing. The Eastern line is working to day, but nothing later than the above has been received. TELEGRAPHIC FROM THE EAST. THE BATTLE AT SHARPSBURG. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.—Midnight.—The following intelligence has just been received from McClellan’s army: Early last night the enemy commenced crossing the Potomac at Shepardstown, by the bridge and_ fords above and below. During the night McClellan advanced his batteries and shelled them from the surrounding hills. The dead and wounded found this morning evinced the ability of our officers in directing the fire of the guns. Gen. Pleasanton was despatched this morning in pursuit, with two batteries and two regiments of infantry, through the gap in the hills. He succeeded in cutting off their ammunition, supplies; etc., besides a small portion of a South Carlina brigade. Pleasanton shelled the enemy with effect as they passed through a ravine. The last seen of them they were flyin in the direction of Winchester, It is suppose: that they would retreat precipitately to Richmond. Our entire army had crossed the Antietam creek and was massed between there ‘and the Potomac, opposite Shepardstown. There is every evidence that McClellan would cross the river. The loss of our generals and field officers of our army is so large as to be unaccountable. Rebel deserters represent their loss in officers to be equally severe. It was understood that Burnside had crossed into Virginia via Harper's Ferry, and was moving on the enemy. eserters report that the recent movement of the rebels in escaping into Virginia is conducted solely by Stonewall Jackson,, the other chief officers—Gens. Lee, Longstreet, ete—being either wounded or too much fatigued to be efficient. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc, Sept. 20.—The rebel army has succeeded in making their escape from Maryland. They saved the greater part of their transportation, and carried off all their wounded except 300. During the “~~ on binges nearly every house in Sharpsburg was struck by our shells. The name given to the battle is Antietam. After our forces had the whole field, the rebels loss was found tobe far greater than supposed, full 2500 were found on the field, while a much larger number were buried the day before by friends. Their loss in killed and wounded will not fall short of 20,000. The Rebel Gens. Ripley, Walker and Hays were wounded, and Gen. Clark killed. Our troops are in excellent spirits over the result. Freperick, Md., Sept. 20.—Gentlemen who left Boonesboro last night, say that considerable firing between Federal and rebel batteries, across the Potomac, had occurred—the latter compnertay to prevent our pursuit at the river ank. Burnside is on the Virginia side of the Potomac pursuing the rebels. The rebels on their way to the Potomac destroyed a large portion of their amunition and artillery, to prevent its

falling into our hands, BATTLE AT INKA, MISS. Carro, Sept. 20,—Considerations of public policy have prevented the mention of the movements of troops in the vicinity of Corinth till now. On Thursday, Gen. Rosencranz marched from Corinth in the direction of Inka, Miss., where he met Gen. Price, with a force fifteen thousand strong, who seemed to be making for Eastport, with the intention of crossing the Tennessee river, and joining ‘Bragg, in Kentucky. At four o’clock yesterday, a heavy skirmishing commenced and continued till nightfall. Karly this morning the fight was renewed and continued till noon, while the enemy gave way, retreating southward. The Federal oss is not far from 6500, killed and wounded. The rebel loss not ascertained but must onseet ours; among them are Gen. Little, formerly Gov. of Miss., killed; Gen. Whitfield, severely wounded and a prisoner. We took five hundred prisoners. Our army is in full pursuit of the pay on rebels, and hopes are entertained that we shall be able, at least, to capture the enemy's artillery. ae RD I A OTRene. Arrocity.—Major Cassidy, a released prisoner, furnishes the Albany Argus with the following incident of rebel cruelty: Capt. Warner of the rebel service, Commissary of the Libby prision at Richmond, was telling us one day of a joke of his. It appears that soon after the battle of Bull Run, a young Union soldier was brought into Dr. Higinbotham’s hospital, and there his leg was amputated just above the knee. Warner, who was present at the operation, obtained some India ink and a needle, and pricked into the remaining stump, ‘This is Lincoln’s doings.” The poor fellow, insensible almost with pain, not having uttered a sound before, now groaned with agony to have been thus insulted, and he unable to resent it. This, Capt. Warner told us, in the presence of the Rev. Mr. Moore of the Presbyterian Church of Richmond, who blushed with shame at the recital of the cruelty of this miserable ruffian. : Tue DirrerRence.— The London Times, speaking of the draft of soldiers for the Union . rene AMOUNT OF WAKRKANTS DRAWN De nING Tite . cause, says, “the scheme of a forcible levy of troops in a republic to subjugate and hold down another republic, is one that will hardly be se. On General Fund .... riously proposed even by the more fanatical of Mr. Lincoln's advisers.’ forcible levy of troops in one part of the republic, to put down and destroy the Government, encountered no such protest from the London Times. That scheme was quite in keeping with its notions of propriety. Jeff. Davis is cheered at Oxford for it. Everything in John Bull’seyes is quite lawful and proper which aims at destaoying the Government of the United States; nothing which aims to presegye it can be tolerated. John will see the result of his teachings on the subject by-and-by. “SK EDADDLERS.”—They have an exemplary way of serving “skedaddlers” in Maine. When news of the contemplated draft was recived in the town of Norway a number of rebel sympathisers banded together, and resolved to follow the example of the Revolutionary Tories by emigrating to the British provinces. Making due preparations for the journey, they ‘‘skedaddled” out of the back doors, and took the ordered to arrest all fugitive send them back to await the draft. Quick as lightning the guilty ones sprang up seized their carpet-bags, leaped from the train, and plunged at dowble quick into the swamp. They have not been heard of since.
