Office, No. 36 Commercial bbreet,” NEVADA ctTry. _— SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 10th. z= ee SENATOR LATHAWM’S SPEECH. . it is immaterial to us whether people prefer calling Senator Latham “‘an honest states-" man” or “a shrewd politician,” ais long a8 he faithfully reflects the opinions and feelings ‘of his Cafifornian constitutents in the United ‘States Senate. The little faur pas he perpetrated, when he announced in the Senate that the sympathies of California. were with the secessionists of the’ South,.but which he ‘immediately rectified when tnore truthfully anstructed, ought no longer to be arrayed as ‘an accusation against either his honesty or his shrewdness. “To err is human;” and ‘Senator Latham, we presume, claims no ex‘emption from the common weaknesses of humanity. Whatever he may have said or done, while laboring under « mistake as to the popular. sentiment of California, ought niot to be visited harshly apon him ; more especially, as he took the earliest opportunity to reflect that popular sentiment truly and faithfully when he discovered what it really ‘On the 15th of the July. just past, Senator Latham, the.resolution “approving the acts of the President” in calling out volunteers, enlarging the army and navy, and suppressing the writ of habeas ‘corpus in Maryland, being the matter under consideration, delivered a speech, both honest and shrewd, that ‘can not fail of a broad and emphatic indorse-. ment in California. He argued, in opposition to Senator Breckinridge, late Vice President of the United States, who accused the Presdent of flagrant violations of the Constitution mn neatly all he had done since his assumption of office, that that high functionary, in calling for volunteers to put down secession, ‘had but. acted in faithful consonance with his constitutional obligations He ‘dissented from President Lincoln in two particulars of administrative policy—not on grounds of constitutionality, but on grounds of expediency and propriety—enlarging the Federal ‘army and suppressing the writ of habeas . : eorpus in Maryland. He thought that secession could be successfully crushed by the volunteer force of the country, alone, without resorting to the aid of a large regular force in the field. He said nothing against the enlargement of the navy; for the reason, it is to be presumed, that he thought it a highly necessary and proper measure. He objected to the suppression of’ the habeas-. corpus writ, because he felt confidence inthe integrity and loyalty of the Chief Justice of the United States—Judge Taney—and because he recognized Maryland, as still within the Union, represented in both branches of Congress. But, for calling for volunteers, arming them, and disposing of them so that the Union might be protected and secession defeated, he gave the President unlimited and unqualified laudation, and asserted that, had not the President doue so, he would not ouly have yielated his official duty, but made himself and the country the laughing stocks of the world. Senator Latham, in common with a vast majority of his Californian constituents. asserts that secession is rebellion, and -that, when pacific means fail of checking or suppressing it, resort must be had to the most vigorous species of coercion. In his speech be shows that secession or rebellion has been a pet idea with certain leading soutnern politicians for thirty years, and that the result of the last Presidential election was but a flimsy pretext for dissolving the Union. He doubted that sensible southern men had any faith in either the morality, propriety.or policy ot secession. ‘ We paid,” says Senator Latham, “ for Louisiana, $15 600 000, for Florida $5 000 000, and expended $100. 600 000 in the Indiay, war, $7 000 000 in pensions to families of soldiers lost in txt war, and $10 000 000 to remove'the Indians. We paid $10 000 000 for Texas, and $217 000000-for the war with Mexico. In fact, the people of the United States owe $617 000000, and yet we are met with the argument that, to avoid bloodshed, we should consent to the doctrine that any State can leave when it pleases, and make war and foreign alliances, ‘and all in the name of the Constitution.” Whether our young Senator's stand in support of the Union has been dictated by honest patriotism or a shrewd calculation of politieal chances, isof no material consequence. > pmajority of : cr cereor. . that majoritgas('By and fhrough'the machin‘. the Republic from the malevolence of trai. tors and in doing all fitting honor to the attack on the rebel defenses at Memphis. ‘Turner’s store, where Harper happened to ‘Joseph.

Fremont.—The Union's St. Louis correspondent, under date of July 26, states that Major General Fremont, to whom is assigned the command of the Division which includes Missouri, arrived in St. Louis on the. 25th, of July. He had been looked for seve ral days, but had been detained in New York and Cincinnation business counected with his,department.

From previous indications we shall not be surprised should we hear of a big fight at Cairo or in that region. Neither shall shall we be surprised to hear of another brisk affair somewhere between Manassas Junction and Fairfax. Court House. The coming pony is freighted with matters of great interest. . THE ©omeET.—This institution is about run out, and will soon be lost to our gaze. Its present locality is still faintly discernible by following the direction indicated by the three stars, in a.straight line, in the taihof the Great Bear, or Dipper Haudle, for a few degrees.—Professor Mitchell thinks the reason the comet came unobserved is that during its approach to the sun it has been above the horizon only during daylight, and hence escaped detection; that on passing its perihelion, it made tracks uncommon. The last isn’t the Professor's phrase, but expresses his sentiments. ' SaLT MINES IN WaASHOE.—The: Territorial Enterprise suys that the Salt Marsh Salt Company, whose marsh or mine is situted about 100 miles from Virginia City, near the forks of Walker's river, -are now bringing in regularly about five tons ot salt every two weeks, tosupplythe demands of the mulls at that place. They find ready sale for it at five cents per pound. HOMICIDE NEAR Cuico.—A_ man named Gibson, a Secessionist, got into a political altercation with a Miley Harper, a Douglas Unionist, at Turner’s store, four miles north of Chico, on the 7th inst., by whom he was shotand instantly killed. He. chased Harper—fleurishing a huge bowie knife—into find a loaded shot gun, which he seized and discharged the contents into his pursuer, who threw his knife at Harper and then fell dead. THE OVERLAND MatL.—On the authority of a St. Louis correspondent ofa California paper, we are assured that the Overland institutions are all right, and if the Secessionists will let alone the railroads, the transportation across the plains will be done up in double-quick time. It is expected that in the course of a few weeks, the telegraph wires will be extended “to Cottonwood Springs--one hundred. miles west of Fort Kearney. hig will allow news to be sent by telegraph to overtake the’ Pony Express forty-eight hours after the latter leaves St. thirty-nine hours. “ER Advices from’ the Sandwich Islanda to the 18th ult. have been received.

Another destructive fire has occurred in Sonora, Tulumne county.

He leaves no family, and is presumed to have left from one to two thousand dollars worth of property. ° BoTH RUNNING AT ONCE.—It is remark. able, if not amusing, to read of two armies running. away from each other at the same moment; hut the following statement of an eye witness of the battle of Bull’s Run, shows that such things may be: There is no doubt that the rebels were actua'ly retreating toward Manassas Junction at the very time when our soldiers were running toward Centerville. The reinforcements from Manassas were probably intended to cover the retreat of the troops that had been engaged in the action. Long before the panic on our side occurred, the wagon.train of the rebels was wending its way from the field, plainly indicating their intention te retire. This train was followed by large bodies of infantry, and it is probable that if our men had stood their ground even fifteen minutes longer, they would have had undisputed possession of the field. It is stated by a Virginian, who came from Manassas into our lines to-day, that the order for the retreat of the rebels had been already issued. It is evident that the enemy did not immedistely understand the movement on our side. They thought themselves whipped, and the‘ sudden retirement of their victors undoubtthe fact that“no pursuit was attempted for any considerable ‘distance. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS.--In a late speech, relating to a cotton loan, Alexander H. Stephens is reported to have said : ‘Should the war be a short one, the bonds at no very distant day will certainly command a premium, that is, if we succeed in the war and establish our independence. In that alternative, they will be the very best security, and the very best investment. The —that is, the contingeney of our being beaten in the contest. Should such a calamity befal us, candor required bim to say that the bonds would be worth nothing. But even then they would be worth as much us anything else we have. In that event lands would be worth nothing, plantations would be worth nothing, cotton would be .worth nothing. So that if we succeed, the bonds will be a goodinvestment ; and if we fail they will be justas good as anything else.” ENGLISH OPINION.—Some few ships in Liverpool flaunted the rebel bunting on the Fourth. The English Government had dispatched over six hundred tons of war stores from Woolwich to Quebec. The New York Herald’s London correspondent states that there is no attention now paid to the rebel commissioner in England, and that the people at large dread the idea of a war with the United States. He asserts that Mr. Yancey has as much chance of negotiating the rebel loan in that country as he would have of selling a mortgage on an uncaught whale in the Arctic Ocean. More INDian TrouBLes In HUMBOLDT. The murder of George D. Cooper by Indians, near Hydesville, m Humboldt county, has caused much excitement in -that county. One of the murderers has been killed, and the settlers are forming « party to make war on the red men. At a public meeting held at demand aid from Governor Downey and Gen. Sumuer, and 8. J. Whipple was appomted a delegate to make the demand. REVENUE Currers.—The orders for the revenue cutter Joe Lane, Capt. Chaddock, / to prepare. for a voyage Eastward, via Ca Horn, having been recalled; she is to ‘stationed at San Diego, for which port she will leave on the completion of the repairs > edly astonished them.

He leaves no family, and is presumed to have left from one to two thousand dollars worth of property. ° BoTH RUNNING AT ONCE.—It is remark. able, if not amusing, to read of two armies running. away from each other at the same moment; hut the following statement of an eye witness of the battle of Bull’s Run, shows that such things may be: There is no doubt that the rebels were actua'ly retreating toward Manassas Junction at the very time when our soldiers were running toward Centerville. The reinforcements from Manassas were probably intended to cover the retreat of the troops that had been engaged in the action. Long before the panic on our side occurred, the wagon.train of the rebels was wending its way from the field, plainly indicating their intention te retire. This train was followed by large bodies of infantry, and it is probable that if our men had stood their ground even fifteen minutes longer, they would have had undisputed possession of the field. It is stated by a Virginian, who came from Manassas into our lines to-day, that the order for the retreat of the rebels had been already issued. It is evident that the enemy did not immedistely understand the movement on our side. They thought themselves whipped, and the‘ sudden retirement of their victors undoubtthe fact that“no pursuit was attempted for any considerable ‘distance. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS.--In a late speech, relating to a cotton loan, Alexander H. Stephens is reported to have said : ‘Should the war be a short one, the bonds at no very distant day will certainly command a premium, that is, if we succeed in the war and establish our independence. In that alternative, they will be the very best security, and the very best investment. The —that is, the contingeney of our being beaten in the contest. Should such a calamity befal us, candor required bim to say that the bonds would be worth nothing. But even then they would be worth as much us anything else we have. In that event lands would be worth nothing, plantations would be worth nothing, cotton would be .worth nothing. So that if we succeed, the bonds will be a goodinvestment ; and if we fail they will be justas good as anything else.” ENGLISH OPINION.—Some few ships in Liverpool flaunted the rebel bunting on the Fourth. The English Government had dispatched over six hundred tons of war stores from Woolwich to Quebec. The New York Herald’s London correspondent states that there is no attention now paid to the rebel commissioner in England, and that the people at large dread the idea of a war with the United States. He asserts that Mr. Yancey has as much chance of negotiating the rebel loan in that country as he would have of selling a mortgage on an uncaught whale in the Arctic Ocean. More INDian TrouBLes In HUMBOLDT. The murder of George D. Cooper by Indians, near Hydesville, m Humboldt county, has caused much excitement in -that county. One of the murderers has been killed, and the settlers are forming « party to make war on the red men. At a public meeting held at demand aid from Governor Downey and Gen. Sumuer, and 8. J. Whipple was appomted a delegate to make the demand. REVENUE Currers.—The orders for the revenue cutter Joe Lane, Capt.
