tetas to take place at Vicksburg soon, or . ‘Gevalia Daily Granseript, ty and County Official Press WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 20_ Jacksons Ouns.—The information comes” througti rebel sources that Jackson, the Cap. . itel of Mississ'ppi, has fallen into Federaj hands. The rebels fought well,but were _ obliged to yield. The information is proba‘bly correct. Jackson ties sbout thirty-five miles directly east of Vicksburg, where the railroad from Vicksburg to Meridian crosses the railroad from Memphis to New Orleans. If we have a clear understanding of the oprations of our forces in Mississippi during the last two months, the communieations by railroad of the rebels through the State of Mississippi ate now, completely cut. No the relief of Vicksburg from the east for the ' qwant of the means of rapid communication. Grant, when heard from, was on the 11th inst. af Raymonds, a place on a spur railroad to the railroad running from Vicksburg to Jackson, and but twenty-five aiiles from Vicksburg. His forces are there for the purpose of making a land attack upon Vicks~ burg from the east, or to cut off supplies from reaching the garrison from the east.— Whether a combined ottack by land and wa« < ——— whether the operations of our forces will be directed to the prevention of supplies reaching the enemy ia their stronghold, remains to be seen. The well known fighting character of Gen. Grant gives color to the belief that the former is the most likely to be the course puraned. ‘We notice in ‘Castine's” letters to the Union that grave charges are made against Grant and Porter, which we cannot reconelle with the general satisfaction felt bere with the action of our forces in the Souths Weat. If Vicksburg falls these charges may be heard of no more; if, however, disaster results, the public will demand a sacrifice and the time of those commanders will have come. WASHOEWARD.—The rush to the Territory continués unabated. The stages come and go crowded. An exodus 1s witnessed which equals that of '49 to the land of gold. Silver is the rage now, and gold diggings are abandoned for feet in uticertain ledges one, ~ two, three and even ten hundred miles away. But the stages cannot carry all the adventurers. Men start off on mules, and some on foot for a silver hunt, leaving families, homeateads, wages, everything comfortable be» hind: * The State is being rapidly stripped of its laborers. . It is hard to find hands st good ~ wages te do the work that needs to be done hereabouts. In some cases we have known a man each day, to leave a job to go to Washoe, leaving his employer te hunt another. to take his place, and fiud him if hecan. Those who employ workmen must. be prepared to settle exch day night, for, two to one, that the crowd or a part of it, will take the silver fever and want to be off in the morning. — The departures from the county are-so ma. ny that it would not be surprisingif the vote ! of the county is not this year less than half it was formerly. It is not on account of any actual want of resources that the people are leaving this section, because it is a positive and well acknowledgod fact that for many. years, the prospects for making money at quartz mining have not been more. prowising than at present. It is a wonderful coincidence that at a time when every body. wants tobe off for the land of silver imagining he oan du better there than here, all the quartz leads, pretty nearly, in the country all at once are feund to pay. Old leads abandoned give forth rich returns, those worked constantly appear to pay better than ever, and new ones are struck frequently pe! promise to pay abundantly. Yet the rush for silver does not cease in the least. Westward the faces of Americans have been set for a century and more. The wave of cmigration is set back from the Pacific to produce concussicn, noise, froth and foam in Nevada Territory: iii Forres, who edits a paper at Unionville jn the land of silver, moralized on the status of a digger girl who came into the settlement She was dressed in flour sacks and other fab~ rics from provision stores, grageful as a statue, &e. Forbes “wondered if she was true and firm to the lessons of chastity instilled by some dusky mother, now passing away in the down of civilization,” when she turned and he read on her patch-work robe, in round, = almost without creating remak. Yet the . thing has been done irrevocably. The Old . . os Jury Law.—The late Legislature made a new daw Yelative to grand and trial juries, which appears not to have been taken cognizance ‘of by taany persons. Ite features may be obnoxious to some, but those that will be exclaimed against most, are: those midst essential to the purification of the jury system. The new law requires that a grand or tria! juror must bea resident of the tuwn~ ship three months. This prevents carpet sack’men from getting on juries. It requires that a juror shall be assessed for 1eal or _personal property on the township or county as< sessment roll, which insurcs a jury of sub~ stantial citizens. . It bars from juries per~ sons convicted of crimes and professions gamblers. The law also makes stringent provisions for drawing jurors by lot from a list of the qualified citizens. © New Srate Mape.—The making of a pew State out of Western Virginia has been done with no considerable flourish and Dominion is divided, and a portion of it is attached to the loyal Union as with hooks of steel. President Lincoln issued his prociaination in accordance with an act of Congress, and on the 21st of April the State of Western-Virginia was formally declared to be one of the Uuited States of America, sfter the expiration of sixty days. On the 21st of June, then, Western Virginia becomes one of the sistethood on a foooting equal to the rest. follows: He substitated for gold in bis hands publicmeeting,§ —-we “tae German papers say that there is a . blood Felation to Baron Munchausen, who played by H. P. Shedd, Cashier of the Bank of Mutual Redemption; at Bostoo, was as greenbacks to the same amount, making $90,000 by the bperation. As in the sight of the law greenbacks sre as good as gold, Mr. Shedd kept his accounts straight, and cannot exactly be called a defaulter. But the directers are very much exercised on account of his smartness. A GRAND demonstration insympathy with, and in aid of the Polish revolution , will be held in San Francisco on the 22d inst.— It will take the form of a procession and man near Breslaw‘whose sense of hearing is 80 délicate that when he hears any liquid decanted in a neighboring chamber be -can tell whether it be water or white wine, or red-wine, or brandy or gin.

Scnoot Matrers.—There are in San Francisco 8,304 registered pupile—4,604 at at the pablic schools and 3,139 at private schools, while 1,908 between the ages of 6 4 years. In the public schools of that city there are employed 20 male and 72 female teachers. The cost of each pupil averages $2171 per head. (aan eI bran Liprary Incorporation.—A law was passed by the late Legislature providing for the incorporation of Libraries. Suppose we incorporate the Nevada Library Association. The law is found published at length in the Sacramento Union of Monday. a The celebrated and popular Leighton Troupe will perform at the Theatre on Fris day and Saturday evenings next. Everybody should go and see Mrs, Leighton. Vermont credit is still decidedly above par. The bids for the loan of $250,000 gmount to $300,000. The premium offered, on the bids accepted, varies from 114 to 143 about $31 ,000 out of the premiums. ao Woopenwake.—Our supplies of woedenware by late Eastern arrivals are becoming excessive, says the Bulletin, and prices are rapibly declining.

Tue Richmond “Dispatch admits the great importance of the Connecticut election. It considers thé defeat of the Copperheads as the defeat of the Northwestern revolution which would otherwise have broken out, and gays the Northern Peace party are routed. James Priest and E. C. Currier were killed on Thursday, by the caving of a bank in Somerset claims, near Dutch Flat. They were much respected citizens, and both leave families.
