TUSEDAY EVENING, SEPT. 9, 1862.
Tu Latest News.—The Trauecript issned an extra this foresoon, giving Eastera dates to the 8th inst.—yesterday. The
vews is startling. A rebel force estimated
ut 40,000 strong, bas crossed the Potomac
and occupy Frederick, Maryland, This
town is not mote than twenty miles from
tbe soysthern boader of Pennsylvania, and
the as of the rebel forces indicates
a design to invade tbat State, which from
present appearances will be successful.
There will probably bea rising in Maryland; the rebela at least have calculated
that there would be, if they could once get
a force across the Potomac; and is such au
event should occur the Government will
probably issue a proclamation freeing a
the slaves in the State, in order to embarrare the slave owners and prevent their rendering aseistance to the rebel forces. It
cannot be denied that this isa period of
darkoess and gloom tothe cause of the
Government, and the destiny of the Republic seems trembling ia the balance. But
we have faith that all will yet be well, and
that a bright day will emerge from tbe
present night.
A Romor.-~A Washingtoo dispatch of
the 6th inat.,, mentions a rumor that Gen.
Pope had been relieved of his command, at
hia Swn requeat, in order to bring charges
against Geu. Fitzjobn Porter, Gen, Sumner
and a General of artillery, for disobeying
orders. There is probably no truth in the
rumor. Two daye’ later advices say notbing about it; and besides, it would not be
necessary for Pope to throw up his command in order to prefer charges against offioers of bis army.
Hoaxep.—The people of San Francisco
were badly hoaxed on Sunday evening. A
report wae circulated that the Federals bad
gained @ great victory on the Potomac, iv
honor of which guns were fired, tar barrels
burned, houses illuminated, and several
persons who gave utterance to disloyal sentiments were roughly haudled. Under the
patriotic impulse, over $6,000 was subscribed for the retief of wounded soldiers.
Bargapigr.--Gov. Stanford bas commissioned Col, James Collins, of this county,
a6 Brigadier Genera! of the Fourth Brigade
California Militia. Col, Collins commanded one of the Illinois regiments in the
Mexican war, and we believe was an officer
in the Illinois militia during the Black
Hawk war.

Taw Lost Treasure.—Passengers who
arrived by the Uncle Sam, say itis very
doubtful whether the treasure that was lost
with the Golden Gate will be recovered,
The steamer Active, which was chartered
for the purpose of recovering the treasure,
was at Manzanilio when the Uncle Sam
left that port,
Nevapa Trreirory E.ecrion.—The Virginia City Enterprise, of Sunday last, gives
the vote of nineteen precincts for Delegate
to Congress, which foot up as follows:—
Mott, 2,414; Winters, 1,510; Ralston, 1,179;
Mueser, 598, Two precincte yet to be heard
from in Lake couaty will slightly increase
Mott’agmeajority.
Ive Sizx AND Cost.—A New York paper
sags: The new in Oey will consist as nearly as gece of 1,000,000, will cost about ,
000,000 a month. Mr. Chase has in han , for
the payment of these troops, about $150,000,, besides other resources from which a regular income is derived.
Tus Onto Grave Cror.—The grape cro
of Ohio is threatened by rot, which Sorel to
an unusual extent. At the late meeting of the
Vine Growers’ Association in Cincinnati, several members stated that they would lose one
half their crop.
DANIEL Moony, aged twelve, with fai
hair and light! built, left his home in La Port,
Sierra, a month since, and has wandered, no
one ~~" ners nt ered snares Molony, @ e, would be rejo toh

Havino at LAxe Bioier.—Some 400 tuns
of hay have been cut in the vicinity of Lake
Bigler this year. A schooner of125 tuns burthem, sixty feet in length, and eighteen feet
veam, is still plying about the lake, taking out
ov parties and bringing in full cargoes
uf bay.
Frvr brothers in the Fifth Vermont Regiment, of the name of Clayton, were all killed
.c the recont Virginia battles.
There is some talk of raising a regiment of volunteers in California, to proceed directly to the East totake part io
the war. From what we bave heard we
think, if the matter wa® taken hold of in
the right way, thata full regiment could
be raised in the State, of men who would
equip themselves and pay their passage to
New York. One company at least, and
perbups two, could be recruited in Nevada
county; and many who cannot go themselves would furnislr the outfit aod pay the
expense of a substitute. This State bas not
been called upon for its quota of troops noder the late calls, in consequence of the
great expense and delay that would
be occasioned in transporting them East;
but in the present period of gloom aud disaster to the Goverument cause, many feel
that it is the duty of California to take a
more direct part than she has been called
upoo to do in the great work of maintaioing the national integrity. Perbaps, if a
regiment was raised and equipped, that
some arrangement could be made to defray
the expense of their transportation to the
seatof war, either by the State, or by
means of a public subscription, We notice
by the Downieville News that Col. Hungerford, who bas lately returned from the East
is moving in the matter of raising one or
more regimeot in this State, The News
says:
We understand that Col, Hungerford, but
recently returned from the Army of the Potomac; has applied to the Governor for permiission to raise one or more regiments of voluntears, to be conducted directly to the field in
Virgiuia. Ifat all within the power of Governor Stanford, we have no doubt that the application will be successful. With the assurance
that the men will be taken directly to the scene
of war, there will be no difficulty in procuring
enlistments. The main difficulty last fall was,
that the volunteers expected what afterwards
occurred—that they would be kept in inactivi‘ty on this coast. Col. Hungerford has a reputation asa military man; has come directly
from the hard fought fields of the Peninsula,
and is desirous to return with aregiment or
two of California fighting men. Whoever goes
with him will have no difficulty in getting into
business, or in getting sight of the belligerent
elephant. We earnestly hope his application
may be successful. We don’t think any military leader could be found more competent—
certainly none braver or more effectually tried
both in the hottest fires of Mexico, and in Vir
ginia.
Eastern News.—A large amount of intelligence relative to the late battles near
Centerville has been telegraphed to the
Associated Presa since Saturday last; but
it is made up mostly of reports brought by
individuals from the battle fields, and not
of a very reliable character. We have already published the accounts received of
the battles of Friday, Augnst 29th, and of
Saturday the 30th, There seems to bave
been but little fighting ou Sunday the 31at,
but on the Monday the Federale retreated tcwards Washington, followed by the rebel
forces, and at Jatest dates were in nearly
the position they occupied last summer,
while the enemy are moving northward on
their right, with the view, it is supposed,
of crossing into Maryland at some point
above Washington, Ina battle that took
place on Monday, Sept. Ist, near Fairfax
Court House, Generals Kearney and Stevenus were killed, and we bave reports that
the rebel General Ewell bad also been killed in some one of the late battles, A Wasbington dispatch to the New York Tribune,
gives the Federal loes in killed, in the late
battles, at 4,592. This is a much heavier
loss in killed than the Federals sustained
during the six days fighting before Riche
mond. According to the statements of rebel prisouers, the enemy’s loss is far greater
than the exaggerated reporta of loxses on
our side.

Wuat Joun Jacos Astor says.—We flod
in an exchange the following reference to
Johan Jacob Astor, the enly son of the
wealthiest man in America:
The millions of John Jacob Astor place him
above any selfish considerations such as govern
many of the “patriots” and ‘statesmen’ of the
Simmons-Morgan stamp. He joined McClellan’s staff several months ago through a desire
to serve his country and risk his life in its defence. He was with McClellan through all the
battles before Richmond and returned to New
York a few days since. The Tribune gives us
his opinion of the treatment McClellan has received through the medium of Stanton. It says:
“We are well assured that an aid of General
McClellan, fresh from that retreat—we mean
John Jacob Astor—has since been proclaiming
through our citv that the army was deliberately
sacrificed by a political intrigue aimed at Gen.
McClellan!”
U.S. Notes.—The objections which are valid against the paper money of the American
and French Revolutions, and which only the
stern necessities of the times were sufficient to
overcome, do not all apply to our present financial system, Our paper money has a real basis of value; for it is Sse upon the resources
of the country, rendered available to the government through the Tariff and Tax bills,
which constitute parts of ihe integral system.
We are protected against an over issue; for the
amount for which notes can be issued is definitely settled by acts of Congress. We also
have practical provision for the redemption of
the Eastern papers in favor of officering the} these notes; for they are convertable into bonds
new levies of troops principally from the ranks} Which have not only their interest paid in spee of the old soldiers. Says t oston Post on
this subject: We are true Republicans, and
believe that merit should have the places of responsibility and honor. Therefore, we would
speak a word for the advancement of privates
from the ranks, who have had their qualities
tested on the field of battle. It is no boy’s play
be to a soldier.it needs metal,courage,manliness
and all these are nothing without experience.
It is the most universally applied of all principles, that a man must have his trade before
he can use it; but in our army, improvised for
the occasion from the masses of peaceful citizens, we have gone too much upon the principle of influence, and not sufficiently upon that
of merit. This error has tumbled disaster upon
our heads. We must awake and correct it.

RicuMonpd TALK.—-The Richmond Dispatch
of the 5th ult., publishes in full the debate on
Mr. Lindsry’s motion in the English Parliament to acknowledge the nationality of the
rebel confederacy, It also contains the London
‘Times’ comments on the same. The Dispatch
styles the telegraphic dispatch sent from Baltimore to Cape Race, and thence to England,
the underer’s last canard.”
cie, but are themselves payable in specie after
the lapse of a few years,
Gvuarp MoniLr.—A correspondent of the
New York Post proposes that the remaining
citizens of the city who are liable to military
duty shall form a mobilized guard to defend it
against all mobs or insurrections; to hold the
forts and garrison them so as to release the
troops on duty there, and generally to act as a
real army in maintaining order and Republican
institutions. There is but little doubt that an
organization of the kind is needed in that city,
if not in many others, as there is an element in
them which is always ready to joina riot or
revolution, however unjust or seleteh and it
is with this element, of course, that rebel emissaries have tampered and will, on any favorable occasion, incite it to do mischief,
Snort Supeires.—The Richmond papers
are of the opinion that for the next year Virginia will have to feed the rebel army. They
say that the corn lands of North Carolina and
the rice fields of South Carolina are in the
hands of the Unionists, and that, owing to conalledging the surrender of McClellan’s army, as . tinued droughts, the crops in the cotton States
are absolute failures.
ACavainy Frust.—A dispatch to tbe
Avsociaied Press gives the following account of a cavalry fight, whieb occurred at . 4° 5 ‘pani
the battle near Centerville, on August
30tb:
After severe cannonading, Buford’s brigade
of cavalry were ordered to the extreme left to
recoinnolter and guard against any attempt to
turn the left, which movement was threatened
by the enemy, Riding oe our left, where
the infantry was furmed close behind our batteries which were playing on the enemy with
great precision, our cavalry reached a slight
eminence, when the enemy were seen coming
up in force along the line of the adjacent woods.
A rebel battery was scen to whirl mnto position.
‘Then came a storm of shell into the midst of
our cavalry, followed by canister and grape.
Long lines of rebel infantry could also plainly
be seen, hurrying up take position. Soon other rebel batteries were brought up and opened
on the left. Our cavalry were forced to retire
behind a low ridge; but clouds of dust revealing
their positions, the rebels continued shelling
them. Another change of position was made.
Areport here reached Buford that the rebel
cavalry under Stewart were preparing to make
a charge. Bugles sounded and Buford’s briade went over the hills and met the advancin
‘oe. As our men approached them the rebe
cavalry discharged double barreled shot guns at
them and metus at full charge. Our men
broke the enemy’s line and pursued them. The
rebels rallied in splendid style and again dashed forward. Buford met the charge, and again
their line was broken, and our cavalry prepared
to follow up the advantage, when the rebels opened fire upon them from batteries and musketry, compelling them to retire.
Revenoino A Murpen.—A Nashville correspondent writes as follows of the murder of
Gen. McCook, by guerrillas, in Tennessee. At
the time of his murder he was traveling in an
ambulance, and suffering from a wound. The
guerilla leader ordered the ambulance to stop,
the assassins at the same time surrounding it.
The vehicle was then upset and the sick
officer turned into the road. While on his
knees, helpless, sick, and pleading for quarter, he was fired at by a ruftian, and shot
through the side.
When the news of the murder became known
among the camps, the excitement was intense.
The Ninth Ohio, McCook’s own regiment, on
learning of the assassination, marched back to
the scene of the occurrence, burned every house
in the neighborhood and laid waste the lands.
Several men who were implicated in the murder were taken out and hung to trees by the infuriated soldiery.
Tornip Zone.—The Atlantic States are hot
in more ways than one. The intense heat of
the weather in the East, is the theme of general complaint. In Baltimore, Saturday, August
9th, the thermometer was near 100, all the afternoon, In Philadelphia, as in New York,
there have been several fatal cases of sun
stroke. Down East, as far as Boston, the atmosphere appears to be none the less torrid.
