Office, No. 36 Commereial street. _ @UNDAY MORNING, SEPT. 8th. WAR NEAR HOME. — Before. the election we ‘noticed many omivous hints;in the party papers, about the possibility of a Segession war in our own State of California. We naturally regarded all such hints a8 mere ‘partisan ‘claptrap, intended to catch votes.—There are, however, “ome ominous givings: out in the papers, © published since the election, which have something significant about them. A few days ago, Gen. Sumner, who commands the Pacific Division -of ‘the U. $. army, and .whose head-quarters are at San Francisco, issued a very remarkable general order, briefly, but peremptorily asserting that “ No Federal troops in the Department of the Pacific will ever ‘surrender to rebels.” “To many, this order, so lacome, and so much like a parody of the last daring defiance of Napoleon's Old. Guard, appeared incompre hensible, and to some, slightly ludicrous. But, when the ficts with which Gen. Sum‘ner was cognizant at the moment it was issued, become apparent, it ceases to be-1ncomprehensible or ludicrous, and assumes a grave and momentous importance. General Sumner learned, some time ago, that a strong Secession. force was on the march from Texas in the direction of California; ‘Suddenly the news reached him that a part of this force had frightened a corps of some five handred United States troops into a cowardly surrender in the Arizonian territory. The General, in view of the threatened invasion, and not exactly knowing the tone and temper of the commandants of military posts in Southern California, gave the general order which has created so much wonderment, and which, when ‘interpreted by aid of these facts, is merely a command to alt officers in bis Division that, in case of a collision with rebel forces they must not sur. vender. The truth is, General Sumnevr’s Division is not strong enough to bear such heavy losses of men as are involved in whole~ gale surrenders. It is evident, then, that General Sumner anticipates trouble in the Southern part of the State, and.to meet it he has influenced the Federal Government to call out the five Sihousand California volunteers which are now being enlisted and organized. Instend, therefore, of. our gallant volunteers being obliged to seek for battle fields in far off Virginia, they may find them within the con---ines-ef their own. State.

They saw little chance of suceess, as the enemy were too powerful. Companies-B. C. and G. suffered most. severely, being in the hottest part of the fight, and siood it bravely—fighting against fearful odds and making great slaughterin the enemy’sranks.

The rebel loss was fearful. The enemy’scelors and two prisoners were captured. The Secretary of War has ordered the stoppage of all telegraphic dispatches to points south of Kentucky. The Charleston Mercury’s correspondent says: “We are without the sympathy or the friendship of any pation on eargh.

Jacoby. The San Juan Press, which has just reached us, says that Pollard is not dead yet, though when the fracas took place, it was supposed he was killed. From the Press, we learn that this soan Pollard is one of a mining company on the Middie Yuba, near Hatfeld’s old crossing, and that. the company’s claims are quite rich He 1s an Englishman, addicted to intemperance, and-abusive-and insulting to.a high degree when drunk, which happens every time he visits the town: On this occasion it ap-. pears that a companion of his, name Henry D. Van Ness, also drunk, was isturbing a party engaged in a dance ith four hardy gurdy girls, at the Unioy Saloon. “Jdeoby, who was officiating as bar keeper, alter having vainly endeavored to wake him desist, unim to one side, when Pollard struek Jécoby.

If the people of Nevada understood the veting business half as well «s they do in Grass Valley, we have ne doubt that they could exhibit quite a different reckoning. But the stupid fools never could learn to vote more than unce on the same day. alae OvuT AND InsuRED.—Besides the mortification of defeat at the late election, Judge bottle of Jager beer. After the election. the Judge bought a bottle of this beverage, with which to treat the friends who had voted for him, but he only found enough to treat one half of his bottle away. and_the other half has since turned to vinegar. The Judge can’t imagine what has become of those 281 -hombres who are supposed to have voted for him. He pronounces the assertion that he was a candidate slanderous in the Righest degree. Snes bien Nevapa County ELection.—The table’ in this day’s TRANSCRIPT, gives the entire official vote of the county, with the exeeption of two or three precinets, which were not returned to the Clerk's office when we went to press. On Tuesday the Table will be given complete. tw” Quite a pleasant affair came off at the M, E. Church, night before last, in the shape of a Donation Party. A table was spread, filled with all manner of delicacies, and ample justice was done to it by about two hundred ladies and gentlemen. Among the number were some of the handsomest specimens of both sexes to be found any where. We were there. Divine Service will be held at the Brick Chur@h this Sunday morning, at 11 ¢’clock— the Rev. J. Chittenden officiating. Immediately after service, the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be administered. te A chap who lives at Sailor Flat, but who has been on a spree here since the election, rushed te Blaze’s yesterday, with the startling intelligence that three men had been murdered at Sailor Flat. One of the TRanscripT firm happening around, naturally pricked up nis ears, and began to make inquiries of the fellow, when the lacter immediately preposed to go to the Fiat and get full particulars if they would give him money to hire a horse. Johnny winked at Blaze and Blaze winked at Johany, and they beth reeommended the gentleman from Sailor Flat to apply to the Douglas Party, as a ehance for a steamboat was better there than anywhere else. : Parriotic Fuxp.—The amount collected at the several election precinets of Nevada county and paid over are as follows : Frenen Corral precinet... 00 ON aii inna s bse Coven cx y 64 Moore's Plat. 25.55 cscs es cee sees 6,75 Liberty Hill... weesecees = 12,0 Omega. . .«+ 0. 020.02. es. aos 90,50 North Bloomfield....10,00 Cherokee. . .

Jacoby. The San Juan Press, which has just reached us, says that Pollard is not dead yet, though when the fracas took place, it was supposed he was killed.

After the election. the Judge bought a bottle of this beverage, with which to treat the friends who had voted for him, but he only found enough to treat one half of his bottle away. and_the other half has since turned to vinegar.
