The LATEST NEws.-The latest advices
from the East are ominous that Gen Scott has
so far perfected his plans, that he now means
business.
The Grand Army, numbering $4,000 meu,
under Gen. Mcdowell, were advancing upon
Manassas Junction in three divisions, and on
the 18th had reached place called Bulls
Run, within three miles of Manassas, where
they were met by masked batteries, and a
spirited engagement ensued, without any ma
terial advantage on either side
No stand was made at Fairfax, although
the place was occupied BY the crack regiments
OF the rebel forces they, as usual, retreated
toward the junction. 1t is generally believed
that the rebels will evacuate Manassas, as one
hundred and fifty cars had been sent there
from Richmond, evidently for the purpose of
conveying troops.
The column under Gen. Mcclellan, it is sta
ted, will advance upon Staunton, and thence
by railroad to Gordiusville, point fiftyeight
miles in a north-westerly direction from Rich
mond. Thus will the rebel city be threatened
by the four divisions of the Federal Army
numbering at least 5000 men, under Gen
erals Mcdowell, Patterson, Mcclellan. and
Butler.

Two CHINAMEN kILLED.-On the 24th nit.
two Cinnamon were killed at jackson Bar,
on the South Fork of Feather River, by two
men, named Libbey and Parker The circum-
stances Of the killing, as elected at the Coro-
ners Inquest, and subsequent trial of Messrs.
Libbey and Parker are substantially as fol-
lows: Mr.. Pierce, Deputy Tax Collector, in
company with Libbey and Parker, went to the
claims where the Chinamen-six in number
were working, for the purpose of collecting
taxes. The Cinnamon claimed that they had
no money, and refused to pay the taxes, where
upon, Mr.. Pierce sold their claims to Messrs.
Libbey and Parker, with the understanding,
between them and the Cinnamon, that the lat
ter could have until the following Sunday to
redeem their claims. Mr.. Pierce then went
away, leaving the purchasers in quiet posses
sion,-one of whom got down into the hole
where the Chinese had been at work.. and
commenced scraping up a pan of dirt; while
thus engaged, the Cinnamon, dividing their
forces into companies of three, made an un-
warned and simultaneous attack upon Messrs.
Libbey and Parker. armed with picks, shovels
and sledges. Although thus assailed, and be-
ing entirely unarmed, Libbcy and Parker sue
ceeded in wrenching some of the implements
from their assailants' hands, which they in
turn used with deadly effect. After killing
two, and dangerously wounding third. the
balance took to their heels Messrs. Libbey
and Parker were arrested and brought to Oro-
vile, where they were tried and acquitted.
