PoNY NEws.-The Pony brings dispatches
TO the Union to May Sd. There had been a
conflict between the Government forces and
rebels at Aqua creek. The steamers Free
born, Anacosta, Resolute and a schooner
opened fire on the wharf battery and after
a sharp conflict slenced it. Several of the
rebels are reported killed. None OF our
troops were injured. The conflict must
have occurred about the 30th ult. An
other skirmish occurred about the same
time. at Fairfax Court House. a detach-
ment of cavalry and forty five infantry,
under Leutenants Tompkins and Gordon,
charged on the town, and encountered a
vigorous resistance. The cavalry were sur
rounded by the rebel infantry, who poured
in a continuous fire +; but they fought their
way out, taking several prisoners. One of
the cavalry was killed and two wounded.
Lieutenant Tompkins reports thirty of the
rebels killed, and that their forces amounted
to fifteen hundred. They had previously sup
One dispatch says large bodies of Federal
troops advanced on Fairfax Court House
On the morning/of June lst, and another
says the rebels had retreated from the town.
JEFF Davis had arrived at Richmond, and
Deauregard had gone to Memphis to take
command of the western division Of the
rebel forces. Gen. Harvey has been called
cast, and is succeeded at St. Louis by Gen.
Lyon Harvey ;gill perhaps be entrusted

The morning papers publish Gov. Dow

rather dubious, but is willing to save the
Union according to JEFF. Davis. lie pro-
nouDced the efforts made by the Admins
tation to enforce the laws and maintain
the Constitution, as a raid upon slavery,
and though a thousand gibbets and mill
lion bayonets were before him, it would
not make an aboltionist of him. He said
he knew what he was writing when the eel
ebrated letter was penned, and that he also
knew what he was. This speech shows him
to be all ardent Secessionist.

MCCLELLAND AND BEAUREGARD.-.-A para
graph is going the rounds stating that Gen.
McCleland, the commander of the Ohio
troops, and who has lately been advanced
to the rank of Major General in the u.
S. service, is enly about thirty years of
age. This must be an error. McClelland
graduated at West Point in June, 1888, and
as the period of study is five years, and ca
dets not admitted until they arrive at the
age of sixteen, be must at the time OF grad.
uating have been at least twenty-One years
old; and consequently is not less than forty
three now. Gen. Beauregard, the comman.
der Of the confederate forces. graduated in
the same class with McCleland, and is
about his age. They both ranked among
the first of their class at West Point, and
have since been regarded as among the
most accomplished officers in the army
McClelland resigned some years ago, hav-
ing attained the rank OF Captain; Beaure-
gard remained in the service until quite re-
Gently. and held the rank of Major when be

BREcKINRIDGE STATE CONVENTION. - The
delegates to this Convention met at Sacra-
mento on Tuesday last, and organized by
electing Tod Robinson Chairman Only
twenty y-eight counties were represented,
aud one of these was by a nonresident
proxy, and another by a self-appointed del
egate. The report of the committee having
been read, lengthy debate followed on
the propriety Of admitting the delegates
from Sonoma and Butte, the conventions
that appointed them having adopted un-
conditional Union resolutions. Some of
the speakers charged the delegates from the
counties named with being Black Republi.
cans if they endorsed the resolutions of the
Convention that appointed them. The del
egates were finally admitted. and, a com.
mittee having been appointed on resOlu-
tons, the Convention adjourned until the
next day. By dispatches to the Marysville
papers we learn that the Convention adopt
ed O series of anti-coercion resolutions yes
terday.

SLAVERY IN THE REBEL SrATEs.-The
War Department has addressed a communi-
cation to Gen. Butler, approving Of his
action in respect to the negroes that had
come within bis lines, from the service Of
the rebels. Gen. Butler is further instruct.
ed TO permit no interference by the soldiers
under his command with the slaves but in
case slaves should come within his lines, he
is directed to refrain from suTrendering
them to their alleged masters, and to en-
ploy them in such service as they may be
best adapted. This will undoubtedly be the
policy of the Government towards the
slaves in the seeded States. The army
officers, of course, cannot be expected to
take judicial cognizance of the relations of
master and slave 10 the rebel sections, and
if slaves offer their services to the Federal
army there can be no objection to employ
ing them in throwing up entertainments
and other work of that kind. The rule
adopted in Maryland, where the Union
sentiment is supposed to prevail, was to
refuse to allow the slaves to come within
the army lines. and a similar rule has
doubtless been adopted in Western Virginia.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-13

DIFFERENCES OF OPINIoN.-The debate in
the Breckiridge State Convention, in regard
to the admission of certain delegates to
their Seats developes the fact that there is
considerable contrariety of opinion in the
ranks Of that party on the question of seces-
sion, and the policy Of crushing out the
rebellion. While the leaders and managers
Of the party, with Union sentiments on their
lips, have been encouraging the secession
movement, and are now bitterly and sense
lessly denouncing every effort Of the Gov
ernment to preserve its own existence,
there is evidently q strong feeling among
the rank and file of the party in favor of
maintaining the integrity of the nation, and
Of putting down the rebellion at any cost.
The managers, however, have so stocked
the Convention, that the unconditional
Union delegates will have DO show in that
body, aud must either submit in silence to
the programme Of the secession oligarchy,
OR be spurned from the Convention as
Black Republicans. 1t is evident that no
one can be nominated by the Convention,
who is not secretly or openly, Supporter
of secession.

The term Zouave is derived from the
Arabic Zouaoua, confederacy of tribes
who live back of Algiers. The name orig
mated from hardy and active band Of SOL
diers in the French service, originally
Arabs, but now Frenchmen. who have adop-
ted the dress and tactics of the Arab Zou-
aves, and greatly excel them in manual
dexterity.
