‘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:

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.
