. 4 i Fi ey % rat. SAY susateny Bransevi _ BY TELEGRAPH, _ Ohe Horning : vip, To the Nevada Daily Transcript. * aecelld. ab . ARRIVAL OF THE PONY EXPRESS. Office, No. 36 Commercial street. NEVADA CITY. _— oe MONDAY, JULW 15th, 1861. THE NEWS. The last eastern intelligence, which appears in this morning’s TRANSCRIPT, and which we issued in an extra on Saturday evening, presenta nothing of an unexpected or startling character. It could not have been rationally anticipated that Gen. Scott and the War Department would precipitate ; any extraordinary military operations previous to the extra session of Congress. With much reason to expect that that body: would not merely sanction the acts of the Executive, in calling out such vast-bodies of volunteers, ‘but would adopt measures for a still more vigorous prosecution of coercive measures against the seceded states,-still, Gen. Seott and the Secretary of War well know that Congress_ is a remarkably uncertain and capricious institution, and they naturally de. sired that it should not leave them in an ugly lurch. If the action of Congress conform with public expectation, there: will soon be no lack of thrilling ineidents in the budgets of _ the pony. The newspaper press of California is not responsible for the reliability of the eastern ‘intelligence which the pony brings it. It has te be taken as-Providence and the Washington newsmongers please to let itcome. A great deal of itis mere bosh—crude speculations of ignorant editors and ingeniously fabricated incidents by sensation itemizers— and it is extremely difficult for a Californian to.determine what part of it to believe and what not to believe. Should the war assume amore active character than it bears at pre-" sent, the newsmongers will have less necessity for spinning facts from fancy, and when they find it just ascheap and convenient to relate the truth as to coin falsehood, they may condescend to describe matters us they really are. } DEMOCRATIC MEETING, Pursuant toa cdll of the President of the Democratie Central Committee, that” body assembled at the Court House, onSaturday, June 13th, at 2 P.M.

Henry Davis, Sec’y. — [ FROM OUR EXTRA OF SATURDAY.) Fort CHURCHILL, July 13th. “The, Pony.Express arrived at this place this morning -at 40’clock, bringing advices from St, Louis to July 5th: The folléwing is from the Union extra‘, Sr. Louis Jaly 5th. Two regiments left Indiana for Virginia on the Ist. Two more start soon. ’ The Niagara captured a rebel privateer, which was in the act of capturing a brig, east of New York. It also captured the British barque Actua, with a cargo of rifled cannon for the rebels at Pensacola. Soldiers are posted at different points in the City of Baltanore. areas: All the members of the Board of Police Commissioners were arrested and sent to Fort McHenry. Thé A&tna arrived at New York, July-tst. specic, _ _ The frigate Arcadia had sailed for an American station. A French division under Admiral Reypaud was about to start—it would visit New York and Charleston. Steamer Golden Fleece, with troops for Quebec, left Queenstown, June 17th. The London Times opposed the movement, and says there is no apparent reasen for it, and lenge. The St. Louis Democrat, of July. 3d, says Gen. Lyon has been promoted to a Major Generatship in the regular army and assigned to the War Department of the West, compris: ing Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. A fight oceurred near Sciota, Missouri, July Ist, between 50 Home Guards, under Capt. Cook and 250 Becessionists. The rebels were routed withithe loss of one man mortally wounded, +, A few Federal steamers are to be sent to the mouth of the Potomac to strengthen the blockade. — i Federa’ troops left Hagerstown on the 2nd inst. aud routed Secessionists near Martinsburgh. The Federal loss was three killed wud several wounded. The Secession . logs was considerably greater. DETAILS. Br. Louis, July Ist. A special dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune, dated Washington, June 29th, says the financial propositions of the Treasury Department to be submitted tu Congress are three in number. First, a National Loan at 7 30-100 per cent. redeemable in three years, not convertible into bonds nor received for Government debts. Second, a Foreign Loan with interest at 6 37-100 per cent. ‘Third, issue with interest of 3 and 20-100 per cent ‘convertible and receivable to, cireulate as cuarrency. Chase will also recommend a special tax on coffee, sugar, and tea, the money to be pledged for payment of interest on the Government debt. The Government is determined to employ the U.S. troops, captured in Texas, now on parole, on duty that will not violate their oath. Latest advices say that Corwin, Minister to Mexico, lag submitted the project of a treaty, and expected an early acceptance. WASHINGTON, June 30th. The Times’ special correspondent says the coutest for Speaker is becoming animated. It is thought Grow -will be the successful candidate. This would rule out Forney for Clerk, who will give his aid to Blair or Colfax. wi The last time Beauregard was heard from, he stated publicly to his troops that they should be at Alexandria last night. We should not be surprised if the Fourth of July was celebrated by driving the rebel pickets, and clearing out Fairfax Court House. Sr. Lous, Mo., July 2--p. mM. The. rebels are running the cars within ten miles of Alexandria. Be 55. At Fairfax station slaves are covering the track with large quantities of earth. ‘The steamer Mount Vernon reports while passing Aquia Creek, she discovered that up and was moving aboyt: The Pawnee had gone down and would” doubtless disable her again. . It was anticipated that Col. Stone would take possession of Harper's Ferry ana Maryland Hights, on July Ist. One piece of artillery planted there will prevent the rebels from recovering the place. j Brant, of S. C., and Henry Scott, of Md., have been arrested as spies. with 236,000 dollars in, America will very likely regard it as a chalof Treasury Notes of sma)l denominations, Af , the rebels’s steamer, George Page, had steam. A, most significant article, published in the Paris Patrie and Moniteur, (the semi-official organs ef Napoleon,) shadows the fortheaming recognition of the rebel states of the South, as-an independent power by the Emperor. His majesty announces—both for himself and other European powers—that the Confederacy will be acknowledged as'‘the new kingdom of Italy, which is now acknowledged, when it shows that it can maintain itself and international relations can be established with its rulers. m The Tribune's special, J uly Ist, says Maj. Gen. Fremont received his commission “in the regular army to-day. The only, other Major General, so commissioned, is General McClellan, to whom he therefore ranks next. . No-doubt need be entertained that the suppression of the rebellion will now be prosecuted vigorously and without halting. The administration does not intend to lag behind the almost. universal demand of the people. aire ; To-day an order was given to supply the whole force, on -both sides of the Potomac; with extra rations for six days ia addition to their regular supplies. * The question is being asked in military circles, why has not Gen.-Patterson pushed forward his column and not kept everybody waiting. Government has decided to take him out of the way. It is generally believed here that, the gen-. eral advance will be ordered to begin on the 4th of July. oe Oe me, SG We learn from a gentleman, just from the West, that Gen. McClellan commands a force of over 20,000-in Western Viremia, and is superintending, ‘in person, vitally important movements against the rebels. Fremént has received instructions tb proceed to Harper’s Ferry, to command the division under General Patterson. Lieut. Butler goes to Massa¢husetts to-day, to induce that State te send a regiment of cavalry to Fort Monroe. The Richmond Examiner, of the 27th ult., states that an agent of the French Government is buying tobacco in that market. Its Portsmouth correspondent says that six or seven hundred men, employed in the Navy Yard, have been required ‘to take an oath to obey implicitly, and in accordance with the articles of war, the orders of the President and Seerétaries of War and Navy, and austain. the Confederate Government—one refused and was discharged, . ee Those, who ought to know, believe that many sworn to support the new Government will not stick to the oath should they have an opportunity, for Western Virginia is well represented there. A special dispatch to the New York Commercial Advertiser, dated Washington, July 2d, says Treasury Notes, of the denomination of fifty dollars and redeemable in two years, are afloat in business circies. The Republicans hold a caucus to-morrow night, when they will probably agree upon a candidate who will be eleeted on the first ballot. on Thursday. ; The Virginia Convention has passed an ardinance declaring it treason for any citizen of that State to held office under the Federal Jovernment after the Ist.
