CITY. a WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 21st THE NEWS. ® ee ee There are no striking events chronicled in the Pony’s intelligence, which appears in our paper. of ‘today, though there are a few items in it of considerable significance, as. they show a determination -on the part. of the Government to render its military ar‘ rangements effective. In the very first item, naming the recently appointed Brigadier . Generals and other officers, there is gratifying evidence that military science and capability are about to take the place.of unmilitary ignorance and inefficiency. Political stump orators have been compelled to doff their epaulettes in favor of men better fitted by education and experience to wear them. The finger of General McClellan; who, him’ self, stands second to no man. in America as a scientific officer, is clearly seen in the effort.to place the brigades of the army under the control of competent generals. No man, better than McClellan, appreciates the high soldierly. qualities of Beauregard, and he naturally wishes to meet his distinguished rival in. arms with all the necessary means and appliances for defeating a foe so formidCapable subordinates are more necessary to such arn end than even superior bravery in the rank and file. Prince Napoleon, the cousin of the Emperor of the French, has visited the in trenched army of the Confederates at Manassas. If the telegraph tells the truth, however, he declined committing himself to, the cause of the revolutionists. In the display of such politic reticence he, no doubt, obeyed the behests of his august kinsman as ‘much as his own sense of propriety. With ‘the grand events of Magenta, Montebello, and Solferino fresh in his French memory, the battle of Bull’s Rua must have seemed an exceedingly tame affair, and he must have marveled vastly how the American press managed to make se auch out of such small matter. If the dignity of a battle is to be measured by the number of dead left on the field, the fight and scamper at Bull’s Run, when compared with the immense slaughter of Solferino, can claim no higher distinction than ‘the sorriest kind of a skirmish. ‘The Prince, no doubt, thought it a good joke that eo much fuss should be made over an insignificant list of three hundred killed and six hundred wounded. A year’s acquaintance with American nowspapers would give. him lots ot new ideas. That there will be another battle, anda bigger one than that of Bull’s Run, on the soil ef Virginia, not far from the -right bank of the Potomac, seems inevitable; but where, is not'so easily said. Beauregard will prefer maintaining a defensive attitude, and McClellan will not order an attack while there is the remotest probability of a failure. It is, therefore, very likely that several ponies will come and go ere we hear of another advance toward Richmond. Besides, if Richmond is really the destined goal of the Grand Army of the Potomac, McClellan will scarcely advance in that direction until after Gen. Rosencranz shall have driven the Confederates out of Western Virginia and brought his. conquering trvops to the eastern base of the Alleghanies. One thing is certain; that Gen. McClellan, when he ‘risks. thé chances of a battle with-the victor of Sumter, will neither undervalue the prowess nor miscalculate the forces of his antagonist. As matters are presented in the present budget of the pony, there is a much greater probability of some immediate bloody work on the Mississippi than on the Potomac. Matters. have a threaténing aspect in the neighborhood of Cairo. Henwess Pass Roap.—R. H. Farquhar, Faq., of North San Juan, who returned, last week, from Virginia City, publishes in. the} _ Appeal-an -exceedingly interesting description of the Henness Pass.Road. Mr. .Freemar,one of the very best road-makers in California, is now putting the last touches to this important work, which. by the middle. of September, will be ‘the straitest, shortest, beat-graded, and least wiater-impeded road through the Sierra Nevada.

The Sacramento Union, of last Monday, extracts from -a late Louisville Jourxal what professes to be a thorough revelation of the history, designs, secret ceremonies, and oaths of fealty of this formidable body of warlike mystics. The “revelation” occupies two and a quarter closely printed columns-ofjthe Union, and. of course, occupies too much space to warrant our copying it ; but it is ‘worthy of the attentiofi of all Union men, more especially as Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, pledges his honor, as an editor, and a man, for its truth and accuracy. It is hinted that the K.G.C have extensive ramifications of their order in California, and that they have abundance of arms and munitions of war at their command, which they, some day soon, intend using with terrible effect. For our part, we know but little about them and are not especially afraid of them. * ca > Home Inpustry.—The_ San. Francisco woolen mills are flourishing. finely. According to an article in the Alta the new tariff, by its heavy duties on foreign woolen fabrics, has aided them greatly, and their goods are now sold as soon as made. The, articles manufactured, such as firemen’s and military uniforms, clothing, flannel and blankets, command highly remunerative prices. The Mission Mill establishment is about to be merged into a joint stock association,’ the shares being placed at $10,000 each, and some of the wealthiest citizens‘of San Francisco will be stockholders. NEVADA ReEcrRuITS.—The 8S. F. Mirror states that the company raised in Nevada by Capt.

The Mirror hints that tie interior towns ought todo something for their own soldiers, instead of making them a tax upon San Francisco, which has enough to do in supporting its own recruits. We have no remarks to make on this subject. <> VOLUNTEES FOR THE PLAINS.—The following volunteer companies, actording to the Sacramento Union, have been acvepted by Gen, Sumner, to serve under Col.

WASHINGTON, August 10th. 7. The President made the following appointments to-day of Brig. Generals, for ‘the -volunteer forces : Prof. Mitchell, Col. G. Blenker. Maj. Woodworth to be. aid to Geneaal MeDowell. Col. Peck, ex-Major_ regular army, who distinguished himselfin the Mexican war; Martingdale, a graduate uf West Point; Ormsby Mitchell, Professor of Astronomy, at’ Cincinnati, graduate of West Point and ex-army officer. A letter, to-day, from Lieut. Parks, Ist Michigan Regiment, dated Richmond, July 29th, says he is a prisoner with hundreds of others in that city. More than thirty officers are with him. = _ Late this evening, Prinee Napoleon and suite returned from Manassas. Three regiments of cavalry and four of rebel infantry are in possession of Fairfax. When it was known at. Manassas that Prince Napoleon was coming, the enthusiasm was wild. Beanregard and Johnston were both there, and received the Prince with the greatest — possible respect. All their invitations and entreaties, that he would go on to Richmond and see Davis, the Prince firmly declined. The fortifications at Manassas were formidable, and our. guns, particularly of Sherman’s battery, form an important part of the defenses. Beguregard informed the Prince that he captured 62 guns at the battle of Bull’sRun. The dead were not properly buried, but simply put under ground—some feet were seen ubove. ; The soldiers at Manassas are very nunierous but poorly dressed. On departing, the rebels gave the Prince a salute with U. 8. guns. On returning to Fairfax, Col. Stew. art, rebel, approached: the carriage ‘of the Prince, and said: “I hope you like our fortifications.” Prince—“‘ Oh, pretty well.”— Stewart—T hope you will interfere for’ us when you get home.’ The diplomatic Prince shrugged his shoulders at this, and said: “I know nothing.” Three compames of Kentucky cavalry arrived here this meruing. It isowell authenticated that Smith, in custody in New York, is a member of the Rebel i il He will be held as a hostage for ¥. . Wilson of Chicago has permission to raise a regiment of engineers and. bridge builders. Night before last a rebel steamer attempted to leave Aquio creek and was driven back by the Ice’ Boat. It was thought the Page, the rebel_bout, was injured; the Ice Boat was not struck. The Page carries six guns. The navigation of the Potomac is unobstructed It ia reported that-hatteries are being erected . at White House Point: Wednesday might five boats filled with armed men were seen to pass over the River from the west side. . Several prizes are lying at the wharf at Fort Washington. Telegraphic communieation is being established between thie City and the several camps, including Fort: Corcoran and Colonel Shermon’s command -further up the River. A dispatch sys, reliable intelligence is re ceived thut the Rebels are concentrating at Fairfax and various points between Pomt of Rocks xnd Alexandria. There are eight to ten theusand troops at Fairfax. Our officers consider their movements 28 defensive. It is reported thut they intend to engage vur whole line from Harper’s Ferry to Ajagandria, simultaneously. If this. be so théy will be foiled, for Gen. McClellan's preparations are equally available for offensive or defensive action. He can move forward a whole ‘column simultaneously upon any given point. The refusal of the Demoerats of New York té’unite with the Republicans in nominations in the election of a ticket. causes some surprise, as it secins to conflict with a plan supposed to he arranged hero and at Washington for the disintergration of the Democratic party. _ : ; WASHINGTON. August 10th. Su Wood has taken measures for carrying iuto eff -ct the late act of Congress, for adding tothe mp liga! staff of the army a corps of exdets, whose duty shall be to act ag assistant hospital and ambulance tenders in the field. F Gen. Scott has issued stringent orders to prevent transwiesion of telegraphic dispatches of the movements’ of the army, for the past, present or future. E It is reported that slaves ure jeonstantly used by the rebels in constructing intrenchments onthe Potomac. . The rebels are still trying to negotiate with Indian tribes by promising annuities, if they will forswear allegiance to the Government. John Ross, Chief of the Cherokees, remains loyal, and stands in the way of the enemy. The names of petitioners, presented some b days ago by Breckinridge, purporting to come present difficulties be adjusted, are supposed to be nearly all forgeries. Prominent parties are trying to ferret out the perpetrators. : Carro, August 10th. The steamer Louisiana arrived from St. Louis, this P. M. with a heavy battery for Bird’s Point. .
