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 :.

FUGITIVES SLAVES.—The war ig playing the deuce with Virginia slave property —
A Harrisburg, Penn., letter states that over
one hundred fugitives from labor, from the
neighborhood of Winchester, Virginia, arri.
ved there on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
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

EASTERN NEWS.
‘The pony arrived at Fort Charchill on
Tuesday. 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,
