The BMaming B Transcript. Office —36 Office _ 36 Commercial street— NEVADA Orr rx. a Ed APRIL 12th, 186T:; _ AFFAIRS AT THE EAST. et C= * FRIDAY, — ear brings netiges up to the _ (St. Louis date-of March 26th. There is noth_ Sing par cularly startling in the last advices. Fort Sumter, it was supposed, would be evae. uated on the 27th of March, though the Gov‘ernnient appeared to be inno hurry aboatit, ‘ag it was stated that.Major Anderson had pro‘visions for three weeks. The Government ‘Jeaves the manner of the evacuation to the . ” ~~ Major’s own discretion. ‘The last accounts . from him represent him as making his arrangements very quietly and methodically. __ Astrong southern force—5,000 men—in. “vests Fort Pickens, and a vigorous attack up‘onitis momently expected. It is not known _@#hat Course the Government will take in regard to st, whether it will be reinforced: or ‘evacuated. In the meantime fresh troops, ~ from Mississippi and Alabama,are constantly ‘gwelling the ranks of the besiegers. Requisitions have been made, by President Davis, _on-several-of the eonfederated states, for-quotas of troops for an unavowed purpose.— Some suppose he intends marching an army on Washington City. Should he do so,the civil war, so much dreaded by many politicians, will beirrepressibly initiated. — have applied for federal appointments under “President Lincoln. “One of them, at least, _ Cyrus _W. Lane, applied for and has been ap-. pointed Judge of the Northern and Southern Districts of Alabama. It is\difficult to understand the motive of Judge Lane, in thus apparently braving the secession sentiment ofhis state. He must feel that there is a * Union party ‘in Alabama, strong enough to ‘sustain his pretensions. If that is the case ‘at this early day, it cannot be very long before the Union party will be dominant in Alabama as well as some others of .the seweeded states. The southern ballot box will yet prove the great and only efficient recon‘structor of the American Union. The withdrawal of the U.§. troops from ‘the frontiers of Texas has encouraged the Lipans and other Indian tribes to make descents upon the white settlements. They are plundering and murdering the inhabitants without mercy. Gov. Houston, who has been legislated out of the Gubernatorial Chair because of his unyielding opposition to ‘secession, has applied to President Lincoln _ » for the aid of the U. 8. troops to defend the ' ‘tate from ‘its Indian enemies. Houston is _ Taboring to create a revulsion in the popular mind of Texas againat the secession movement He ‘and Mr. Hamilton delivered speeches at Austin in ‘which they boldly denounced the Southern Confederacy and its constitution. There appears to be a strong spirit of ses ‘cession in Richmond, Virginia. ‘The Union‘ist. members of the State Convention are fre‘quently insulted and reviled in the streets by ‘the populace. The Unionists, however, are ‘still in a majority in the Convention. A feeling of mutualdislike ‘s fast growing: up be» tween Eastern and Western Virginia. Secretary Chase apprehends no difficulty in the disposition of the $8,000,000 loan. Every dollar will be taken at rates closely apProaching par. ~~ Itis reported that France and Great Britain are each sending a strong naval force into the waters of the United States; for the pur“pose, it is supposed, of protecting Mexico . against the suspected designs of the confederated Southerners. Spain, also, is sending a feet into the Gulf of Mexico, but not in con-_ cert with Franee and England. In the British Heuseof Com-uons Mr. Gregory moved ‘that the government should recognize the Southern Confederacy. In Europe there is nothing transpiring of ‘importance.

The bill, which eventually passed to an engrossment by a vute of 31 to 23, was . fought at every step of its progress by the friends of the district societies. They contended that’ the district societies were, in benefit to.the state than thegstate Society, although they had been carefully excluded from any share of the: State’s favors. The State Society is allowed $5,000 annually from the State-Treasury; while not a dollar has been allowed _te any one of the district societies. It is a good thing to have this that, although the State Seeiety seems ina fair way of getting allit wants out of the State, the district societies will yet come in for a reasonable share of the State’s favors. MARYSVILLE AND VALLEJO RAILROAD. Yesterday’s Appeal has an editorial from which itappears that the people of Solano county are beginning to entertain serious apprehensions that the managers ‘of this work have come to a dead lock, and that it. will never be completed. The county of Solano subscribed $200,000 to the stock of the road and has paid $120,000. Although our county of Nevada is not a stockholder in the road, a great many of our people, on the northern side of tha county, feel a great interest in the success of the enterprise. Can the Appeal find out and tell its readers what has been the success of Mr. Haskin, the contractor, in Europe, and when he may be expected to resume operations on the road. 7 Seal SECTARIAN SCHOULS.—The Union states that another numerously signed petition in favor of the passage of the bill for a division of the school moneys called for by the Catholies, was presented in the Assembly on Tuesday. It purports to. be signed by two thousand citizens of the lower country, chiefly native Californians. When this measure comes up a lively contest.is anticipated. It is asserted, on good authority, that the friends of the bill have secured, through political promises and threats, an active and by no meaus despicable party in the Legislature, who will urge its passage by every means in their power. Whatever may be the state of the question within the legislative arena, it is very certain that on the outside a numerous and powerful coalition has been arranged. bearing directly on the passage of the Catholic Apportionment Bill. ES California's great want is population, say several of our exchanges recently and all the time. That’sso. Let us populate Appeal. Well, why don’t you populate? A lazy. ‘bachelor talking about populating the country! WONDERFUL CuREs.—Mr. D. F. Potter, of Monson, Massachusetts, who has been deaf from birth, his malady being supposed hereditary, was recently induced to place himself under the care of Dr. Lighthill, and he now hears perfectly. Eneouraged by this success, his father, Bartholomew Potter, an old gentleman, eighty-three years of age, who had been deaf for forty yearg followed his son’s example, and he now hears as well as any one. ee _ tance —AMr. a a ferryman at Dickinson's Ferry. on the Tuolumne river, was drowned during the fréshet last week by the upsetting ofa boat. ir Courting is an irregular, active, transitive verb, indicative mood, present tense, thitd perile a and agrees with all the keep her fast to the stars. and stripes but the + exercise of. the magnanimity. and justice which the north Carolinians have fully earned by the manly. and successful fight they. have made against all the odds and obstavles their collective— -eapacity, of infinitely mere}. says the idea of reinforcing Fort Sumter is BY TELEGRAPH TO THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT.

Naval officers express the belief that Fort Sumter could be re-inforced, with ordiry risk, by steamers, at night. No appointments yet made for California, a A. H. STeruens.—Vice President Stephens, of the Southern Confederacy, was received at Atlanta,a short time age, and a speech was made at him. In his retort, he said: “ The changes in our Constitutien from the old fedexal Constitution were made with a view to conform to our social institutions and afford a greater protection to our slave property, The question ‘now is, ‘Shall we be allowed to form our government in peace, or shall we be forced into a war?’ We desire peace. He fully believed we should have peace. The Black Republican power will back down. Fort Sumter will be surrendered in ten days, and the border States will be forced eventually, frém interest, principle and honor, to unite their-destinies with the South. Although he was @f opinion that peace would prevail, yet he would have us prepare for war. He advised us to arm and organize, to be ready to meet the foe if war was forced upon us, and by thus being prepared for any emergency, we-could best secure the blessings of peace.” . age . PROTECTION FROM INDiANS.—The Portland Times learns that an expedition will go out against the hostile Northern Indians this spring, aud then full and continual military’ escorts will-be furnished all emigrants to Oregon and Washington Territory through the entire Snake Indian country, during the ensuing year. Tne military post on Boise river will not be built as was first contewplated, but every means will be furnished which are necessary to protect the emigration against surprise and massacre. The $50,000 lately appropriated for this purpose according to the Times, will be judiciously expended, Itis tebe hoped, and expected, that Government will extend its protecting care to all the lines of border travel and setPusuic DocumEnts.<When George the Second got into a heat with his minister, and insiscertain subject the next morning, the minister obeyed—and when the king rose, he saw three Sete sortie ernpneon ode ag. appearance in San Francisco.THE . -8ix mile race, between Selaya’s and Alvis»’s at Warm Springs, was Time, 1:43.
