Office, No. 36 Commereial street, WHUBSDAY, JULY 4th, 1861. [3 No paper will be issued from the “PeaNSCRIPT office to-morrow. All hands swish’ to-observe the National~ Jubilee.— . 'Pherefore, -adiéu to work-to-day. EEE INDEPENDENCE DAY. Never, since the first Fourth of July that followed the framing of the Constitution, by the National Convention of 1787, has the Sun of Independehce Day-risen upon a more frightful condition of our beloved countty than meets his beams this morning. For “the first time, in seventy-four years, the Sun sees the American Union—that glorious landjupon which George Washington and his brother heroes and suges wished to. stamp the'words “Estu Perpetua’’—at sword points . with itself. The empire, which the Revolutionary Fathers called into being and bequeathed to our keeping, was not destined toan ephemeral existence. The Union of the North American States, now so. severely threatened by the mad ambition of selfish anarchists, will continue to be smiled upon, by the Sun of Independence, for centuries and‘centuries after the vain seekera of its destruction shall have gone down to the clods of the valley. ‘There is a self-sustainig principle of existence—an indistructible life—in our North American nationality ’ which defies danger and laughs ‘at dissolution. Independence ! sacred word ! is still the patrimony of Americans, however despots abroad and anarchists at home may sneer and mock! Therefore, let us do fitting honor to the natal day of that Independence, whose Sun first broke upon the world thro’ ‘clouds and darkness that shadowed the Con‘the tinental Congress of 1776. Let that day,of “mixed gloom and glory, hve in our hearts and brighten in our memories, despite the sacrilogious scoffings of that rabble of rebels who seek its desecration. The Land of Washington, with its glorious traditions, is not less our fathers, on the day when it first sprang into political existence. ‘* "Tis a rough land of earth, ond {stone, and tree Where breathes no castled lord or cabined slave, ‘Where ieeghas, and tongues, and hands are bold and -And friends will find a welcome, foes a grave ; d@ where none kneel, save when to Heaven ey pray, Nor even then, unless in their own way.”’ The rebels can not reb,us of the Fourth of July, they can not banish the anniversary of Freedom’s Birthday from the earth. There are still thirteen stripes on our national ensign; and not, until the Angel, with one foot on land and one on sea, shall proclaim the death of Time, shall there be less than thirtyfour states. ‘Therefore, let-us rejoice. Let thé cannon roar, let the banquet be spread, let the drum and trumphet split the welkin, let the youths and maidens dance and make merry, for we still have a country: worthy of our pride, a country worth fighting for ard . . dying for ! In our little city of Nevada, it is intended that the Sun of thik {glorious day shall not hide his face because we have proved ourselves unworthy of our ancestors. of 1776. With*us it will be a great day and one to be remembered. The patriote of neighboring towns’and hamlets are coming to partake of our-hospitality and help us to do honer to the men and the principles ofthe American Revolution. The cannon will salute the dawn with its clamors. For every star in the Banner of the Union there will be a gun, and a hundred guns willbe fired at intervals through the day. Yesterday we gave the programe of the day’s ceremonies, but we give it here again :. . ORDER OF PROCESSION. 1. Grand Marshal ayd Aids. 2. Nevada Brass Bani. . 8.

They say that no attempt is mede to arrest runaway slaves—and the mountains of Virginia are full. The last arrival were in a wretched plight, having been on the road ten days. ‘They were supplied with provisions, and sen€ on th-ir way toward Canada. TREASURE,—The amont of treasure shipped from this State since January 1, 1861, is $21,099,669 86. During thé corresponding period of 1860, the amount-shipped was $21,089,355 13. Excess for this year, $10,314 73. MIKE BRANNIGAN, the Sacramento hack driver, who perpetrated the brutal outrage upon the person of Miss Mitchell,the actress having first drugged her mto uncon e1ousness, has been held to answer in the sum of $11,000. It isa thousand pities the Vigilance Committee did not hang the beastly scoundrel in 1856. t A French cotemporary says that near St. Sevier there lives an’ old soldier with a false leg a false arm, a glass eye, a complete set of false teeth, a nose of silver, covered with a substance imitating flesh, anda silver plate replacing part of his skull. He was a soldier under Napoleen, and these were trophies. He must be a splendid specimen of composite architecture. Lae Es” “ Who is General Pierce? "’ is a question frequently propounded. He was a notary public ina country town in Massaehusetts until made Brigadier General by Governor Andrew, at the earnest appeal— some say demand—of Senators Sumner and Wilson. He has been a very clever fancy -ting a column of men in the face of anenmy’s battery. ‘ 4 ‘The Procession will form st 10 o’elock, A. M. . No. 1.

From a dispatch to the Bulletin, telegraphed to the Marysville papers of yesterday we condense the following _mtelligence : tee On. the morning of the of June 20, the rebels were concentrating a large force at Fairfax, Every movement indicates an attack on our line within a eae ee + Itis believed that Gen. Beauregard can egneentrate sixty thousand troeps at any given point within a week. Undoubtedly he -has forces at Richmond; and itis not impro*. bable that he will have to make a.speedy advance movement to-day, 21st June. WASHINGTON, June 2Ist.— The N. Y. Herald’s dispatch says about 5,000 troops of Gen. -MecDewell’s division, including two Ohio regiments, have moved forward from Ball’s cross roads to the neighborhood of Fall’s Church, or Fairfax or Vienna. _ Captain Tompkins of the Cavalry; returned fromi a reconnoisance this P.M. towards Vieuna, and report a force there of 2,500 rebels at that point, Jf, as is possible, the latter should bereinforced to-night, a battle between those forces will be almost inevitable to-morrow. A collision occurred this morning between a picket guard of the Maine regiment and a rebel picket near Fall's Church. The Connecticut picket on taking possession of the greund had one man killed and four wounded. Logs on the other side reported to be greater. The rebels are reported 1200 strong, and have reinforcements of 6,000 and were advancing. Three South Carolina regiments were with them. An attack on Phillippi is hourly expected. On the 24th of June, matters remained in Missouri very much as they were at last dates. Gov. Jackson is still in Arkansas, where he fled on the deféat of his state forces at Boonville. Gen. Lyon now is, to all intents and purposes, the supreme power of the state. ~ . No movement has yet been made from Caire down the Mississippi. Neither has any movement been made against that position from Memphis. : Harper’s Ferry is in the possession of the United States Forees, and itis supposed that Manassas Gap will soon be evacuated by the rebels, who will retreat on Richmond. Unton Democratic CONVENTION.— This body-meets to-day, in Sacramento, but it is doubtful if it make any nominations be fore Saturday, if then. Agricultural Hall, in which the Convention is to be held, 1s to be appropriated to-day to the patriotic purpose of aw.Independence Célebration by the Sacramentans. To-morrow the Convention will meet, and then adjourn oat of respect to the memory of S. A. Douglas. Thus, button hholing,log rolling,and drinking brandy smashes may be called business. The Convention, it is pleasant to perceive, will not suffer for the lack of candidates for the big offices. Downey, Casserly, Conness, McCorkle, and other patriots, are willing to undertake the trials and tribulations of the gubernatorial chair, rather than that the gov‘ernment of the State should come to an end for the want of a Governor. More than a half dozen gentlemen, besides dur Senator Chase, are willing to work for the State in the capacity of Clerk of the Supreme Court, and a smart little platoon of printers, and a bigger platoon of no-priuters, are volunteering for the dangerous post of ‘State Printer. McKibben will, undoubtedly, be nominated as a candidate for Congress, and therein the Convention will show wisdom. THe ComMetT.—This celestial visitant is, now Visible all night, having to take hie chan-: ces along with the Great Bear, in whose vicinity he is, and thus apparently waltz around Polaris without the privilege of dodging beneath the horizon. He is now retreating from the sun as fast as he can, having _paid his respects to that distinguished luminary at noon on the 4th of June. In other werds, that wag the time at which his perikelionsor nearest approach to the sun, was accomplished. At this interesting point in his eccentric journey he was about eight millions about one-third of that which Mercury is honored. The New Yorkers first saw bim ‘in the latter part of May, whed he was approaching the sun, though the pony brought us no intimation of the discovery, and, for some reason or other, his cometship declined, showing himself in California until after his call upon King Sol. The eastern astronomers, however, calculated his elements more nes month ago, and predicted that he would reach his greatest degree of brilliancy on the 4th of July, to-day, which we esteem Accordingly, he will take a share inthe fireCu, there will be two days lostfor busines, unless . of miles from the Orb of Day, a distanc . wD New Books.—That enterprising firm of bibliopolists at San Francisco, H.
