Office, No. 36 Commereial street. ba be i. NEVADA crry. * iliac llfiisatatiiy SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25th. at “The editor of the TRANSCRIPT acknowledges the receipt of.a polite invitatiunfrom Chas. M. Gorham, Seeretary of the “ Agricultural, Hortieultural,/aind Mechanics’ Society of the Northern District of California,” to attend the third annual Fair of that Society, to be held at Marysville from the 9th to the 14th of September, proximo. He also acknowledges the receipt of an official notification, from Mr. Gorham, that-he has been appointed, by the Executive Committee of the aforesaid Society, one of the judges of native wines and liquors. For fhe honor, thus Gonferred upon him, the editor of the TRANSCRIPT begs leave to return, to Mr. Gorham and the Society of which he is Secretary, the assurances of his undiminished regard and high consideration; and, though entirely unfitted, by habit and education, for the duty designed him, will, nevertheless attempt its performance, with such meager akill and ability as Heaven has accorded him. Accompanying the above mentioned invitation and appointment, Mr. Gorham has ‘politely furnished us with an interesting cir* . cular of the Sqciety, bearing the signatures of G. N. Swezy, President, J. E. Galloway, Ist Vice President, R. F. Piatt, 2d-Vice President, A. D. Starr, Treasurer, and Chas. M. Gorham, Secretary, setting forth the highly beneficial action, upon the industrial intereats of Northern California, exerted by the Society in the past and promised for the future. This circular invites the farmer, the horticulturist, the stock-raiser, the mechanic, the artist, the miner, and the men and women of every industrial pursuit, to attend the Fair, bringing with them, for exhibition, the choicest results of their skill and labor, with the assurance that merit, in every: department of honest industry, will be munificiently honored. Our intimate acquaintance with the frank hospitality of the people ef Marysville ‘and the generous energy of the gentlemen in whose management the affairs of the Society are entrusted, warrants usin promising all, who may drop in upon the Fair, a delightful visit. Snell . LHS LATE-NEWS.—In common with all readers we feel an intense anxiety to learn the particulars of the battle near Springfield, Missouri, in which, it seems, the Union cause has lost ono of its most heroic champions. Gen. Lyon was, every inch, a gallant soldier, and, when he fell, he was just in the spring time of his fame and fortune. There is an indistinctness and unsatisfactoriness, iu the telegraphic account of: this battle, which we published yesterday, leaving us in doubt aa to its exact results. If Gen. Sigel succevded in leaving the ground and reaching Rolla with a great number ef prisoners, it would show that, instead of being defeated, he merely retired before asuperiot ferce. In the death of-Gen, McCullough the southwestern Secessionists have lost.an active and indomitable partisan officer. He was nota military man, in the scientific sense of the term, but he was well fitted for leading emall bodies of irregular soldiers. FREMONT MinEs.—While GenFremont is absent trom his Mariposa estate serving his country in a military capacity, bis mines are yielding remarkably well. A correspondent of the Union says that from the four now being worked an average of two hundred tons of ore per day is taken out and crushed. The average value of this is eighteen dollars per ton, The total of the mines for this month of Aug. is expected to exceed seventy-five thousand dollars, ty" The party of which Mr. Brooks, of the Marysville Appeal was one, that undertook the ascent of Mount Shasta, last Wedneeday, were completely successful.

There is nothing of self-importance or ostentation about him; on the contrary, he has much theJappearance. of an unobtrusive, gentle-. manly stranger who.wishes to be at his ease. and be permitted to pass along without being annoyed by ceremonious civilities. He was cordially invited by the. President to accept the hospitahties of the White House, but declined the honor and preferred being the guest of the resident French Minister, at his residence in Georgetown. He, however, dined with the Prekident, somewhat en fumille, there being but few guests . present, and they the very highest dignitaries— French and American—in the Capital. At this dinner he won the good will ofeverybudy by his sociability, his intelligence, ‘his practical good sense, and hiseasy and gentlemanly courtesy. Secretary. Seward succeeded in installing himself as the Prince’s chaperon and, showed him the Washington sights, including Congress, the Navy Yard, and the camps of McClellan’s grand army. In -short—Seward knew~what he ‘was about, for, it.is said, the Prince became wonderfully attached to shim. ; If the Emperor of the French shall take a notion to recognise the Jeff Davis government it will not be because of Séeward’s bad treatment of that august sovereign’s cousin. The Washington letter writers, the Washington ladies, and the Washington statesmen are in raptures with the Prince because of the striking resemblance he bears to the portraits of his illustrious uncle, the first Napoleon. It is said he has resolutely set his face against being lionized, and intends to travel into some of the western states incognito. It is evident he wishes to learn sumething of the American character and American affairs by quiet personal observation. His visit, if our people treat him sensibly, maybe a good thing for the country. It would be pleasant to have him come to California, but that, we presume, is not in the programme of his tour. How To Serre rr.—Alexander Alison, of Londvun (not the eminent historian, but«a lesser light of the foreign literary firmament, ) has issued lately a pamphlet essay entitled: “The American Reformatien,” in which he suggests some novel as well as startling ideas. He first shows that what. he calls republicism “ has been tried. in America and has failed ; so that form of government must “be abandoned.” He then advises Congress to meet; appoint Gen. Scott military dictator, and dissolve. Dictator Scott is then to put. down the rebellion in the South, divide the Union into three kingdoms, and appoint a a king over each of the three divisions. The kings are to be the heads of the Church, and are also to appoint two clergymen and twelve deacons to each parish. This tripartite buisness would offer a novel method of settling} our national difficulties, to be sure! The politicians are already making a desperate struggle to divide the Union into distinct parts, and from present indications we should infer that the people had had enough of it. FIRE aT ANTELOPE MILLS.—The Red Bluff Independent says, the saw wilt; together with the lumber yard, containing some 70,000 feet of lumber, was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday morning last—loss not ascertained. The buildings around the mill were saved. The loss falls principally upen Mr. Job F. Dye. RELIEF OF SICK AND WOUNDED.—The Republican and Uoion Democratic State Central Committees have issued a circular addressed to both parties, suggesting, that at each polls during the coming election boxes be provided to receive contributions for the sick and wounded of the volunteer /army, and the widows and orphans of the killed. A Committee to receive and make proper disposal of the funds is’ named, consisting of members of all parties. ‘The County Clerk in each county is intrusted with the forwarding of the subseniptions to the Commitee. _.

He could make and unmake what laws he chose, excepting ouly one—the simple and eternal, law of demand and supply. His famous Milan and Berlii decrees were more injurious to his subjects than to his enemies. British commerce found its way into the heart of his dominions in spite of every gbstacle, and American cotton will find its way across the Atlantic in spite'of ull the navies in the world.” A BAND or Brotuers.—John S. Elhs, Sheriff elect of San Francisco, was presented in this city, but a few weeks ago, with a magnificent sword, by the old California Guard. He promised then, in our resence, that it should never be drawn but in the defense. of his country. Most nobly has he kept his sacred pledge. On his arrival in New York, he found that three of his brothers had enlisted in the gallant SeventyFirst Regiment. Without a moment's hesitation, he shouldered his inusket and entered their ranks as a volunteer just frum the Pacific State. The four brothers met the enemy at Bull’s Run. Three were wounded, one of them seriously. Sheriff John, although in the thickest of: the fight, escaped injury.— Alta. Marion’s Last Worps.—Most of the great patriots of the early days of the-Republic seemed to be fully. aware of the dangerous rocks on which the ship would be likely to be driven. A life of the South Carolina hero, Gen. Marion, by Major 8S. Horry, published long ago, gives the author’s account of the General’s last words, which are very remarkable : “Ambitious demagogues will rise, and people, through ignorance and love of change will follow them. Vast armies will be formed and bloody battles fought. And after desolating their country with all the horrors of civil war, the guilty survivors will have to bend their necks to the iron yoke of some stern usurper, and like beasts of burden, they have riveted upon themselves forever.” Cossack CAVALRY.—Mr. Rosse and sevyup a battalion of cavalry, to be composed principally of rancheros and vaqueros, and to be equipped and trained after the style of the celebrated Cossack cavalry, of which we have so many accounts in Eurepean history. When tully organized, it is the intention of the battalion to proceed as quickly as possible to the seat of war, and tender itsservices to the Government. Thus far it appears that the Government armies are lamentably deficient in cavalry, an almost indispensable arm of service, especially in protracted wars distributed overa large extent of country. Many of our citizens have subscribed towards raising a fund for the equipment and traneportation of the cavatry battalion. We trust the enterprise will be warmly seconded by our citizens, that the Government may be quickly furnished -with an arm of service it needs so much a8 cavalry, and of which California can furnish the very best.—S. F. Cail. A Swiss Sunpay.—An American writing frown Switzerland, says: It seems to me that a Sunday is here considered. sacred in proportion to the amount of amusement that is crowded into it, The “American manner” of keeping the Sabbath is a matter of wonder to the Swiss inhabitants.

British commerce found its way into the heart of his dominions in spite of every gbstacle, and American cotton will find its way across the Atlantic in spite'of ull the navies in the world.” A BAND or Brotuers.—John S. Elhs, Sheriff elect of San Francisco, was presented in this city, but a few weeks ago, with a magnificent sword, by the old California Guard. He promised then, in our resence, that it should never be drawn but in the defense. of his country. Most nobly has he kept his sacred pledge. On his arrival in New York, he found that three of his brothers had enlisted in the gallant SeventyFirst Regiment. Without a moment's hesitation, he shouldered his inusket and entered their ranks as a volunteer just frum the Pacific State. The four brothers met the enemy at Bull’s Run. Three were wounded, one of them seriously. Sheriff John, although in the thickest of: the fight, escaped injury.— Alta. Marion’s Last Worps.—Most of the great patriots of the early days of the-Republic seemed to be fully. aware of the dangerous rocks on which the ship would be likely to be driven. A life of the South Carolina hero, Gen. Marion, by Major 8S. Horry, published long ago, gives the author’s account of the General’s last words, which are very remarkable : “Ambitious demagogues will rise, and people, through ignorance and love of change will follow them. Vast armies will be formed and bloody battles fought. And after desolating their country with all the horrors of civil war, the guilty survivors will have to bend their necks to the iron yoke of some stern usurper, and like beasts of burden, they have riveted upon themselves forever.” Cossack CAVALRY.—Mr. Rosse and sevyup a battalion of cavalry, to be composed principally of rancheros and vaqueros, and to be equipped and trained after the style of the celebrated Cossack cavalry, of which we have so many accounts in Eurepean history. When tully organized, it is the intention of the battalion to proceed as quickly as possible to the seat of war, and tender itsservices to the Government. Thus far it appears that the Government armies are lamentably deficient in cavalry, an almost indispensable arm of service, especially in protracted wars distributed overa large extent of country. Many of our citizens have subscribed towards raising a fund for the equipment and traneportation of the cavatry battalion. We trust the enterprise will be warmly seconded by our citizens, that the Government may be quickly furnished -with an arm of service it needs so much a8 cavalry, and of which California can furnish the very best.—S.
