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. ee a an ee ee 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 his whereabouts. winks 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. From Trae Ranks.—There is a loud cry in EGRAPH.

Gillespie, having entered a pulpit, and taking the Holy Bible in my hand, and saying, the highest power ever was bids defiance to that Bible—at the same time throwing it to the floor—I now take back what I said, and also discountenance my act of throwing the Holy Bible to the floor. SAMUEL GrauAM GILLESPIE. 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. on MINES IN ‘TULANE.—Quite an excitement Shea at White river on Saturday, August 3d, from the fact that new and very rich placer diggings had been found on one of the prongs of Rag Gulch. Some two or three men had been quietly at work there for a month or so before the secret got out. As much as fifty dollars had been taken from one pan of dirt.
