FoEr MCIIENRY.-The commander at Fort
McHenFy is likely to bob3 bis position. In
his first contact wjlh the rebels they were
worsted. Observing that batteries we're be-
ing erected by the BaltimofeaDs in posi-
ton for attacking the fort, be sent shot
wbistliog through the air above the shovels
and guns of the rebels. Presently dePu-
tation Of the insulted and indignant Baltl-
moreans arrived at the fort, and demanded
to know what was meant by firing at or
near them. Tbe eommsnder replied some
what as follows:
"Gentlemen, havn't read history for
nothing. remember of reading of a Fort
Sumter, where an attacking party of trait
ors were suffered to begin and continue the
erection of batteries all about it. One day
they opened fire, and the next the people in
the fort were smoked out aud bad to sur
render. Now, gentlemen, AwOnt submit
to any such nonsense here"

NEVADA TERRn DRY ITzMs.-We extract
the following intelligence from the Virginia
City Enterprise, OF Saturday last:
For the past four nights we have had Tegu4aT
snow falls, commencing about dark, and con-
tinuing till the morning when it yanishes be-
fore the glowing rays Of the sun. Snow had
fallen on the summit to the depth of two and
one-half feet, last Wednesday. The storm at
this season Of the year was entirely unexpected
but it has not been without beneficial resuAs,
as the grasshoppers have been entirely de-
stroyed, just as their ravages were commen-
eing-
The Ophir Company last week shipped from
their works at Washoe Valley, four hundeed
and eighty pounds of bullion, worth about thirty
dollars per pound-the proceeds of three days
work.
The returns from the Humboldt country are
very hattering. We have been shown some
specimens from the Cuba ledge, in Prince Roy
al Canon, in which gold in large quantities can
be seen with the naked eye.
In the canon below Johntown there are six
companies now at work, and all making fair
wages-about s. per day to the hand.
Mr.. II. ]. Baird, of Wasohe Valley, informs
us that the placer dggings in that vicinity are
paying we'll at the present time. The American
Company took out fourteen ounces Of gold last
Friday week, and the proceeds of nine days
work amounted to over 5000. The value of the
gold ranges from $l7 % to $40 per ounce.

Pony NEws.-The Pony, with advices
from st. Louis to April goth, arrived at
Fort Churchill on Tuesday evening. A dis.
patch to the New York Express states that
the rebels fred on the Federal troops near
the mouth Of the Potomac, in Cumberland
county, Virginia. The fire was returned
aud the rebels retreated, The U. s. tug
Yankee arrived at Philadelphia May 10th,
having in tow three schooners loaded with
tobacco, which had been seized by the Har-
.riet Lane off Cape Henry. The Yankee re-
ports that the North Carolina and another
ship had seized twenty vessels. Orders had
been issued that no express matter, inclu'
ding letters, be permitted to go south of
Washington, into Virginia. a dispatch
from New York, of May 18th, says it is
probable that Gen. McClelland will enter
Western Virginia, at the head of the Ohio
aud Western troops, simultaneously with
the movement Of Gen. Butler st Norfolk.
A dispatch from Montgomery, of May 18th,
says the Confederate Congress has passed a
bill authorizing the issue of $50,OOO,O 900 in
bonds payable in twenty years; also, a bill
abolishing the Mlnts at New Orleans and
Dahlonega, after the first Of June next.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTs.-The pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution, as
adopted by the Legislature, provide for
biennial sessions of the Legislature, the
Assemblymen to be elected for two years
and Senators for four. The Governor and
other State officers are also to hold their
Offices for four years. The article on the
judiciary is also amended, increasing the
Supreme Judges to Eve, and We believe
they are to be elected at special elections.
The amendments will have TO be approved
by the next Legislature, aud ratified by the
people at the general election 10 1862, be-
fore they become part of the State COnsti-
tuition.

Mrs. BRowNING's VIEws--Mrs. Brow
ming, the well.known poetess, who is now
residing in Italy, writes as follows to
friend in the United States:
At this point the anxiety of American affairs
can take its full share of thought. My parti-
ality for frenzes is not so absorbing believe me,
as 20 exclude very painful considerations on the
dissolution Of your great Union. But my seri-
GUS fear has been, and is, not for dissolution
of the body, but the death Of the soul-not Of a
rupture Of States and civil war, but of reconcil-
iation and peace at the expense of a deadly
compromise Of principle. Nothing will destroy
the Republic but what corupts its conscience
for the stain upon the honor must come off
on the flag. If on the other hand, the North
stands fast on the moral ground, no glory will
be like your glory; your frontiers may diminish
but your essential greatness will increase; your
foes may be of your own household, but your
friends must be among all just and righteous
men, whether in the body or out of the body.
You are "compassed about by great cloud of
witnesses" and can afford to risk anything ex-
cept conscience.

Loascs Cnused bY sceessIon.

Messrs. VIM. T. Coleman & CO., in their
business circular, dated New York, May
1lth, say:
The existence of actual war, with prospect
Of its prosecution on gigantic scale and with
most disastrous results, has put complete en-
barge on all commerce between the Northern
and Southern States, and has totally paralyzed
trade, except in war and naval materials, and
the movement Of produce from the West.
This, with the stoppage Of all payments IN
the South and West, has entirely ruined many
leading manufacturers and merchants, and the
effect Of the prostraiion is felt m every quar-
ter. H
The loss TO the Northern States, thus far, is
estimated al $500 600 900 and it must be greatly
increased; bat they are still rich, strong and
confident. To the South the loss is incalculable,
and continuance Of the war may tend to COM
pletely PROSTATE all her interests
California may well congratulate herself on
exemption from the immediate collision, and
her heretofore conservative course gives conf
dence that she will remain steadfast and true
to the best interest of the country.
Government and other securities have de-
clined rapidly, particularly those Of the boEder
States, which have fallen off from 80 to % per
cent. within thirty days
The arrangement Of business, occasioned
by secession, has undoubtedly caused great
losses in all sections of the country, but the
amount stated above as the losses Of the
North, must be greatly Overated. The to-
tai amount thus far contributed in the
North towards carrying on the war 10 stated
at fifty millioHs Of dollars; the debts due
by Southern customers to Northern mer-
chants, which have been confscated, amount
perhaps TO thirty or forty millions. and tbe
amount of Northern property seized in the
South can hardly exceed ten millions.

MoRE CoNFUsION.--The people of China
town, in Washoe, not content with appro-
priatlng the name of this county for their
Territory, have changed the name of their
town to "Nevada City," 1t is not probable
that the Department will ever establish a
postofiCe in the new Territory with that
name, as it would lead to the most inextri-
cable confusion. The naming of the Terri
tory after this county will cause enough in
convenience in the missending of letters ana
papers, without apprOpriating the names of
ovr county towns.

A Word Of Caution.

A Word Of Caution.
The Secession, Pacific Republic, Breckin-
ridge Committee have called State Con-
vention, to meet IN Sacramento on the 1lth
proximo, and the primary election will be
held in the several precincts of this county
on Saturday next. Those who take part in
the primary meetings are expected to vote
the ticket nominated, and in times like
these voters who are really Union men
should beware of committing themselves to
the reasonable doctrine Of secession, and
to the support of candidates who are plot
ting to overthrow the National Government.
Under the guise of Democrats, with cOnser-
vative- Union pretensions, the Breckinridge
leaders hope to entrap honest voters to fur
thering their schemes of disuuion, and the
establishment of Pacific Republic. Mr..
LindIey, the chairman Of the Breckinridge
State Committee, 10 his call for meeting
of the Committee, made use of the following
language:
Let us have Union if we can; peaceable dis
solution if we must, but conflict, never.
If peaceable dissolution comes, why should
not California remain with the free States'
If bloody separation, why should she not
establish a Pacific Nationality
Is she willing to be dragged into awar against
a Southern Confederation Of her sisters, should
such Confederation be irrevocably established?
Ought not she to demand of the other free
States to consent to peaceable separation (if
any must Gomez as an unyielding condition OF
her remaining with thems
The Committee not only approved of
these views, but went much further, and in
their published address denounced the Gov
ernment for supposed intention OF resist
ing the rObberies and warlike acts of the
seeding States. They had not word to
say against the confederate traitors, who
were then engaged in seizing all the public
property within their reach, but leveled all
their denunciations against any measures
the Government might see proper to take to
resist the outrages.
The test adopted by the Committee, as
qualification for voting at the primary elec-
tions, was as follows:
Resolved, That the several County Commit
tees be recommended to direct, in view of sHch
cooperation, that the votes Of all citizens be re-
ceiyed at the primary elections for Delegates to
the Democratic State Convention, that is to
meet in Sacramento city, on Tuesday, the llth
day of June, A. D., 1861, who endorse the Crit
tenden, or similar amendments to the Consti-
tuition, and are opposed to coercion and any and
all attempts on the part of the Administration
to enforce, by Military or Naval power, the Fed
eral laws within the jurisdiction of any Of the
seeding States.
This test was adopted some two months
ago, and the Committee held another meet
ing on the 7th inst., and il was neither re-
scinded or modified; thus showing that the
Breckenridge leaders not only sympathise
with the disunion movement, but are OPP
posed to the Government taking any steps
to protect Its rights, or recover the Federal
property.

LIEUT.. MAURY.-Evidence is accumulating
at Washington that Lieut.. Maury is not only
traitor, but a traitor of the meanest and most
contemplate kind. For months past, in his
correspondence with scientific institutions
abroad, he has been belying his country, and
predicting the immediate dissolution of the Gov
ernment on the accession of Mr.. Lincoln to
power. One of the meanest of his tricks was
the removal, recently, of the buoys from Kettle
Bottom Shoals, leaving everybody in darkness
some official position at Richmond in the in
terest Of the rebels. His vacated place at Wash
ington is filed by Lieut.. Gillis, who conducted
the surveys Of the Gila, and who is admirably
qualified for the position lately held by the trai
tor. 1t is said that some of the diplomats at
Washington are Of opinion that many of the
distinctions bestowed upon Maury by foreign
Governments will be cancelled.

THE STEAM GUN.-The Baltimore steam
gun will discharge 800 balls minute. The
range is accurate up and down, but the balls
are liable to hit wide of the mark on one side
or the other. It's range is about 100 yards, and
it can be worked so as to discharge in any
direction. The whole machine weighs 600
