Office, No. 36 Commeréial street. NEVADA. Corry. —-——_ MONDAY, JULY 22d, 1861. = — There is éne item in the Eastern news, brought by the last Pony, and which appears in our columns to-day, which is peculiary gratifying, at least to us. It is that item which informs us that General Scott has resolutely shut-down on the newsmongers. He ought to have done . this four months ago, and saved the country from a flood of lies and rescued the newspaper press and the electric telegraph from enough of sin, in the way of lying, to'sink a whele nation into endless perdition. We' ‘may now read thé ‘Pony news with some sort of comfortable assurance that it is worthy of credence. The next item in importance is that which intimates an irreconcilable quarrel between the Presidert of the Cotton Confederacy and two of the magnates of Virgima. Gen. ‘Leo, one of the noblest and proudest men of the Old Dominion, a descendant of the heroic and dashing Harry Lee of the Revolution—who was to Washington what Marat was to Napoleon, the best and boldest cavalry officer in the Continental service—is not & man to quietly submit to snubbing from Jeff. Davis, even though Jeff. Davis wore on his pate the crowns of all Europe. ‘Well, Jeff. Davis, as soun as he set foot in Virginid, made it his imperial pleasure to gnub General Lee. The General, by the appointment of Governor Letcher, was Commander-in-chief of the Virginia Secessionists, a very illustrious, though not virtuous position. Jeff. Davis, as soon as he could, laid him on the shelf, in favor of the Louisianian hero, General Beauregard, the man who, with eight thonsand men, drove seventy-five starving soldiers out of: Fort Sumter. Asa tiatter of aourse, the blood of all the Lees wis speedily at boiling point. Letcher stood by. the brave old General, Wise took sides with the Monafcn of Cottondom, and the consequence was that General Lee cursed and quit tlie rebels, and is now in Western Virgima raising volunteers to fight fer the Union. The name of Lee is a tower of atrength in Virginia; and; in deliberately insulting it, the Chief of the federates has inaulted every high-minded Virginian. We are curious to learn what course Governor Letcher will pursue, under the existing awkward circumstances. It would not astonish us to see him follow Lee’s example and declare for the Union: He will scarcely be willing to put his dignity in his pocket to gratify the Cotton Lords of the South. Thus, while Virginia is geographically dividna into a rebellious Kast and a loyal West, the rebellious Kast is fast slipping into anarchy, an ugly state of things, which will only become worse, the longer Jeff. Davis persists in holding his Court at Richmond. Western Virginia now claims to rule the entire State, under the auspices of the Stars and Stripes, and nothing ean prevent its rule from becoming permanent. The present intelligence left Gen. McCilel. lan in thé act: of commencing a desperate battle with the rebels at Buchannon, Upshur county, Western Virginia. He made the attack on the morning of the 11th inst. and we anxiously wait to-learn the result. The newer from Missouri -1s of an exceedyngly momentous character; though, as Gen. Scott’s recent embargo upen the newsmongers has not yet become especially applicable to St. Louis, it may not be amiss to receive,.it with eautious credence. If altogether true, it cannot be long ere Missouri will be free from treason and traitors. The next pony will resolve all doubts on this score. Congress seems td respond liberally to the Presidevit’s requigitiéns. Six millions have been apprepriated to pay the volunteers ealled out by the first proclamation, and the Socretary of the Treasury has been empowered to borrow two hundred and fifty willions for war purposes. Gen. Scott will soon bave an army, large and efficient enough to warrant him in making a decisive move‘ment southward, through Virginia, as well ws down the line of the Mississippi river. There may not, however, be any very active _ @emonstrations toward the south, during the ‘heat of swmmer, but the month of Septema +-arrows into it; ihe Apaches, and had made extensive improvements., The Indians had re sdly attacked. him and stam his animals, but with the assistance of his three sons, wife and daughter, he had always defended the hotise, and had replenished his stock of cattle from his ranch in New Mexico. .Last October they attacked him — and he fought them b ly all night, killing three of the enemy, ¢ retired at the rt ape gen of day, carrying off the last of a stock of -cattle, valued at $30, 000.

The attack began at 94 a. M., with artillery, which broke theenemy’s center and silenced their artillery—atter an hour’s fighting. The enemy trie to qutflank the federal troops and cut off their baggage, but Sigel made a retreating movement—keeping up the fire all the while, and ordering the baggage train to advance. The enemy then tried to cut off his communication with Carthage. Sigel’s artillery, was so placed as to give them a cross fire, and made sad havoc among them, which opened the road, and Sigel fell ba¢k on Carthage, where another stand was made. The traitors being in possession of the town, Sige] surrounded it, threw shot aud grenades into their cavalry, and using infantry tujbig advantage.
