THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 25, 1862 Aumina Neorots.—The rebel War Department bas issued a proclamation in relation to the organizing and arming of negroes by Generals Hunter and Phelps, declariog that they shall uo longer be held as public esemies, but as outlaws, aud that in the view of the capture of either of them, or of any oiber officer employed io drilling blacks he shall not be regarded as a prisoner of war, but held in close confinement for execution as a felon, at such time and place as Jeff. Davis may order. The rebels themselves have set the precedent of arming and drilling negroes, and using them in every conceivable shape in the war against the Government, and their proclamation goes for notbing, They employed a corps of negroes at the battle of Baton Rouge, and thousands of Indians fought for them at Pea Ridge. If they employ negroes and Indians to fight for them, they, at least, have no right to complain if the same races are employed by the Governmeot. We do not believe it would be policy for the Goveraoment to arm slaves and Indians; for if the rebels have placed themselves on a level with savages, nothing is to be gained by following the bad example; but the right is ; unqueetionable. Slaves have been armed io war times, in all ages, wherever slaves were to be found, and it was believed they could be made an element of strength by thé goveroment or military leader using them, and nothiog will restrain the rebels from a general arming of their slaves but a fear that the blacks will eventually turo against their masters. —— = + Tus Presipent’s ProcuamMation.—The substance of the President’s proclamation, abolishing slavery in the States that are in rebellion after the frat of January next, will be found in another place. He undoubtedly has the right, as commander-in-chief of the army aod navy, to declare freedom to the slaves in the ingurrectionary districts, It ia a right appertaining to the war power, and ifthe rebellion is put down, and the Federal authority re-established in the rebel States, the decree will have to be eoforced, But at present, the proclamation will make no change ia the relations of the Governmeat towards the rebellious States. It may satisfy a few noisy abolitioniets; but we cannot see that it will add to, or eubtract any thing from, the strength and resources of either the Federal Government or of the rebula, If the rebellion is crashed, it will have to be done by hard fightiog, and not by proclamations. Taz Richmond papers find as much fault with their generale for allowicg McClellan to peaceably evacuate the Peninsula, ag some of our journals do with him for the evacuation, Somehow or other, ‘he rebel editors are n0 better generals thax loyal _sitors. Fire.—The wire suspension flame, which crosses the American river between Dotan’s Bar and Smith’s Point, Placer couuty, was consumed by fire one day last .week. It ia thought to have been the work of an incendiary, Aocipent.—Deputy Collector Burnham, {#1 Dorado county, accidentally shot himaéif on Tuesday last, uear Uniontown.

On that day the Executive will designate, by proclamation, the States and parts of States in which the people shall be in rebellion, and the fact that any State orjpart of State shall that day be in good faith represented in a ap: ny by members ser by a majority of their electors, shall, in absence of strong” countervailing testimony, be deemed sufficient evidence of such States not being in rebellion. The President quotes the new articles of war, approved March 30th, aiso the 9th and 10th sections of the act to suppress insurrection and punish treagon and rebellion, approved July 17th, and enjoins upon all persons in the military and naval service to enforce said sections.

InpIAN TrouBLES IN Eastern OneGon.— A correspondent of the Dalles Mountaineer writes thus from Aubura, in the Powder Valley, under date of the 23d ult: The emigrants are “rolling . " ere fast, and say that of late the Indians (: .es) have been very annoyingtothem. Atthev.ossing of Snake river, near Salmon Fall, whilst the emigrants were crossing, the Snakes fired on them and killed twenty. At Pacific Springs, two wagons were behind about a mile; they were traveling slowly over a bad road, having a sick man in one wagon and a woman driving it, all the other men were off the road, when seven Indians attacked the wagons and cut the harness so badly that the traces broke. The Indians then ot between the horses and the wagon, and rove the horses off. The sick man raised himself and shot one Indian witha revolver; the other men coming up the Indians went off, taking their dead or wounded one with them. Mr. Campbell, of this place, had a cousin killed at Lander’s Cut-off. The Indians obtained from him money and booty to the amount of about $8,000. About 500 emigrants went in for Salmon by way of Fort Lanigh (?), the old Mormon fort at the head of Snake river, and as wagons could not pass the road, had to pack. Many good Chicago wagons were sold to Mormon traders for a plug of tobacco. Near Pacific Springs were some Mormon troops at the time of the Indian attack, but they did not interfere. The emigrants just arrived met the U.S. troops from Oregon crossing the Malheur river, and reported to the commanding officer regardin the Indians, and the soldiers are going to loo after them. Tue Sanrrany Funp.—The first installment, of $100,000, subscribed by the citizens of San Francieco for the sick and wounded soldiers, was telegraphed to the U.S. Sanitary Committee some days ago, and the following response has been received: New York, Sept. 22, 1062, To H. F. Teschemacher, Chairman of the Central Relief Committee—Your magnificent contribution will electrify the homes of the nation, Thanks to God and San Fiancisco for such unparalleled generosity! Equitable distribution shall be made on the strength of your bounty. We instantly telegraphed our agents on the battle-fields of Maryland to spare nothing, and your mercy will be staunching wounds and feeding and cooling parched lips before this reaches you. The cities of the North and West, already generous and devoted, will be reanimated tothe utmost exertions in our cause when they find themselves outstripped at a bound by their youngest sister—golden San Francisco—furthest from the scene of war; but already nearest to the sick and wounded in her hospitals and battle-fields. Henry W. Bettows, Pres. U.S. Sanitary Fund. From Tuk Sovrawest.—A Cairo dispatch of the 22d inst., gives the annexed items: An important expedition left here on Wednesday last, and a part of the troops landed at Conia, 20 miles above Napoleon, The object of the expedition is not known. Gen. Steel, from Helena, has received information that 2,000 rebels have arrived at that lace from Little Rock. Breckinridge and illepigue are reported with their forces 12 miles from Memphis. In the battle of Inka, on Saturday, Price was attacked at three points about the same time, being nearly surrounded, but cut his way through a point where the 27th Illinois were stationed.

Can Nevada county make any exhibition of agricultural produets at the coming State Fair? Has she a soil that is prolific, has slte agriculturists capable of improving the soil; has she pomological capacities and gardeners of sufficient skill to develop her resources? I answer . unhesitatingly that but few counties in the . State are better in all these qualifications than our own. at BARTHOLOMEW’S AMERICAN CIRCUS!

Our wealth is not confined alone to our mines. We have the soil and the skill to compare favorably with any county. Grass Valley offers to come in competition . with any town in the county for apples, peach: . es, vegetables, sweetmeats and the handiwork . of our housewives, and will be largely repre. sented. Will Nevada, San Juan, and other thriving towns allow Grass Valley to be the banner town of the county, untried? Will not Lake City, at an altitude of at least 2500 feet, show California what can be raised almost to the snow peaks of the Sierra? Will not Arnold be heard from with his wonderful garden at that altitude? Wake up fellow citizens, and show the valley counties what the mountains can do.

Execution Fok Murper.—Thomas Noll was hanged at Weaverville, Trinity county, September 19th, for murdering Paulius Grosse. The Douglas City Rifles were present on the occasion by request of the sheriff. Noll met . death coolly, but in a contrite spirit. He made a short speech, advising those present to pre. pare to meet death like Christians, and a letter which he wrote for publication attributes his degredation and crime primarily to intoxication. Semn.ins, of the Sierra Democrat, has systematized himself in regard to the telegraphic and other news with which the times are checkered. He gives the very widest scope to credulity. The system is this: Believe in full evewonderful avimals have been su that they display an almost human intel!j stirpasxing in obedience, docility and sugaci feats of any performing animals thut have ever peared before the public. = + agen you read or hear; the believe in full the very earliest contradiction that comes.

At Pacific Springs, two wagons were behind about a mile; they were traveling slowly over a bad road, having a sick man in one wagon and a woman driving it, all the other men were off the road, when seven Indians attacked the wagons and cut the harness so badly that the traces broke. The Indians then ot between the horses and the wagon, and rove the horses off. The sick man raised himself and shot one Indian witha revolver; the other men coming up the Indians went off, taking their dead or wounded one with them. Mr. Campbell, of this place, had a cousin killed at Lander’s Cut-off. The Indians obtained from him money and booty to the amount of about $8,000. About 500 emigrants went in for Salmon by way of Fort Lanigh (?), the old Mormon fort at the head of Snake river, and as wagons could not pass the road, had to pack. Many good Chicago wagons were sold to Mormon traders for a plug of tobacco. Near Pacific Springs were some Mormon troops at the time of the Indian attack, but they did not interfere. The emigrants just arrived met the U.S. troops from Oregon crossing the Malheur river, and reported to the commanding officer regardin the Indians, and the soldiers are going to loo after them. Tue Sanrrany Funp.—The first installment, of $100,000, subscribed by the citizens of San Francieco for the sick and wounded soldiers, was telegraphed to the U.S. Sanitary Committee some days ago, and the following response has been received: New York, Sept. 22, 1062, To H. F. Teschemacher, Chairman of the Central Relief Committee—Your magnificent contribution will electrify the homes of the nation, Thanks to God and San Fiancisco for such unparalleled generosity! Equitable distribution shall be made on the strength of your bounty. We instantly telegraphed our agents on the battle-fields of Maryland to spare nothing, and your mercy will be staunching wounds and feeding and cooling parched lips before this

reaches you. The cities of the North and West, already generous and devoted, will be reanimated tothe utmost exertions in our cause when they find themselves outstripped at a bound by their youngest sister—golden San Francisco—furthest from the scene of war; but already nearest to the sick and wounded in her hospitals and battle-fields. Henry W. Bettows, Pres. U.S. Sanitary Fund. From Tuk Sovrawest.—A Cairo dispatch of the 22d inst., gives the annexed items: An important expedition left here on Wednesday last, and a part of the troops landed at Conia, 20 miles above Napoleon, The object of the expedition is not known. Gen. Steel, from Helena, has received information that 2,000 rebels have arrived at that lace from Little Rock. Breckinridge and illepigue are reported with their forces 12 miles from Memphis. In the battle of Inka, on Saturday, Price was attacked at three points about the same time, being nearly surrounded, but cut his way through a point where the 27th Illinois were stationed. During the fight, a body of lexan Ranger’ charged on one of our batteries, and notwithstanding our determined resistance, spiked two guns. This was our only logs in artillery. ee ee .

Execution Fok Murper.—Thomas Noll was hanged at Weaverville, Trinity county, September 19th, for murdering Paulius Grosse. The Douglas City Rifles were present on the occasion by request of the sheriff. Noll met . death coolly, but in a contrite spirit. He made a short speech, advising those present to pre. pare to meet death like Christians, and a letter which he wrote for publication attributes his degredation and crime primarily to intoxication. Semn.ins, of the Sierra Democrat, has systematized himself in regard to the telegraphic and other news with which the times are checkered. He gives the very widest scope to credulity. The system is this: Believe in full evewonderful avimals have been su that they display an almost human intel!j stirpasxing in obedience, docility and sugaci feats of any performing animals thut have ever peared before the public. = + agen you read or hear; the believe in full the very earliest contradiction that comes.
