WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. The review Of
the regular forces Of the army on this side
Of the Potomac took place this afternoon on
East Capitol Hill. There was 10000 in
fantry, 1900 cavslry aud nine batteries Of
artillery, including Capt Tidbal's fying ar
tillery, which ustoiiished the thousands Of
spectators with the exercises Of that wing Of
the service H.n

morrow down the Potomac. by placing u
line of steamboats, between Washington and
Budds Ferry, the headquarters OF General
Rockers division. The first vessel bound
thither was the Reindeer, Capt Kiehl. =
This vessel ran the blockade last night with
out obstruction from the rebel batteries,
bringing four contiabands, who were placed
on board the Hotilla and turned over to Capt.
Dahlgreen, the commander Of tbe Washing.
ton Navy Yurd, e
Foolish runlors are prevalent about the
advance of rebels to-day. These, doubtless
have their origin in the fact that the pickets
from Blenker's division mistook for the
enemy the forces Of cavalry under command
Of Wadsworth, who we're returning from a
successful reconnaissance made in the direc-
tion of Fairfax Court House. Much alarm
was occssioned by this mistake but it was
not Of long continuance.

AN INCIDENT AT FoRTREss MONRoE.--One eve
ming lately, at Fortress Monroe, says letter to
the Bulletin, woman observed carefully
advancing step by step across the bridge from
the encampments towards the fort. She seemed
either to be or was pretending to be, blind. The
former proved to be the case. She inquired how
far she was from the fort to which she was going,
and then, in answer to questions, revealed her
story. She was from New york. and had an only
son in one of the regiments encamped on the
outposts. Thodgh blind, to use her own words,
she had accomplished the whole journey from
New York, and had just been out TO the camp to
" see' her son On her arm was an empty bas-
ket, in which she had borne him little deecaces
which the occasion and mothers love would
suggest. She had had guide but his "pass''
would not permit him to accompany her further
than the further end Of the bridge; so that she
was left, blind and alone to find her way in the
twilight back to the fort-a distance of more
than mile. Presently couple of prvaes 60
ing in the same direction, approached. On her
case being represented, one of them most readily
and respectfully offered his arm to the devoted
mother, and they passed on.

COMPROMISE When the Capital of the Nation
was threatened with barbaric horde, when the
taunt of cowardice was hurled indlscrlmlnately
at the sons of the North and ignorance and bru-
tality were congregaiing in armies and marching
porthward, still was the oiense TO hgn heaveh
and mankind. repeated, of calling for submission
and retreat. The damning sound still infects the
air. There are some creatures that could turn
their backs on their countrys misfortunes, and
fendishly smile at her disgrace. Let history be
charitable when recounting the lamentable fact
that our coutry produced, at time when noolli-
ty of soul should have been displayed by every
American, too many of these craven wretches,
who ally themselves with treason, ROBBERY anu !,
murder, without any but the basest incentives"

! SUNDAY LAw.-The Sunday Law passed at the
last session of the California Legislature took eff
fectfrom the first day of August, hence on next
Sunday we expect TO see all places of business,
drinking saloons, &C. closed
We know that many Of our citizens look upon
this Law as arbitrary and needless in the noun
tain towns of California With such we differ,
believing it very necessary step for the better
observance of the Sabbath day, and quite an ad-
vance toward good morals and sobriety. We
know of quite a number Of business places and
saloons which would long ago have been closed
on Sunday, but for the fact that other like esab-
lshments were kept open, and to successfully
compete with them had to do likewise. This law
closes ALL and gives a day of rest to proprietors,
clerks, nt-julp and cocktail chemists, and even
the topper himself
We re-publish the law for the benefit Of all con-
cerned
SECTION Amy person who shall hereinafter
keep open on the first day Of the week, common
ly called Sunday, any store, Workshop bar, sa-
loon, banking. house, or other place of business,
for the purpose Of transacting business except
as hereinafter specially provided, shall be deemed
guilty of misdcmeanor, and on conviction thereof
shall be punished by fine of not less than five
or more than fifty dollars.
SECTION 1.-THE provisions of this act shall
not apply to the keeping open of hotels. boarding
houses, restaurants taverns, livery stables, retail
drug srores, (for the Legitimate business of each,)
or such manufacturing establishments as are
necessarily kept in continual operation to ac =
complsh the business thereof; nor to the sale of
milk, fresh meats, fresh fish, and vegetables.
SECTION IH.-Prosecutions for the violation
of this Act may be made either by complaint
to magistrate, or indictment by Grand Jury,
and all fines collected upon conviction under this
Act shall be paid into the Common School Fund
of the county.

my nomination for the Office Of State Senator
from the District comprising the counties of Shas-

Convention, and have not, therefore, any aspira-

honor is often more important than the honor
conferred Coming as my nomination has from
a Convention representing the only true Union
party of the country, and in way totally unso-
licited by me, do not feel at liberty to decline
the nomination. | will make appointments to

MoRE INDIAN MURDERS IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY
Geo. D. Cooper, and a man named Tinkle
while at work in Cooper's mill, near Hdesville,
on the 23d, were fired on by a large band of In
dians, and Cooper instantly killed. Tinkle ran
towards the house and gave the alarm in time
for Mrs. Cooper to escape with her child to a
neighboring house. A small Indian boy, unable
to keep mp with the rest, was also shot. After
killing Cooper, the red devils stripped his body
entirely Naked and then beat it in a horrible
manner with an iron mill bar
The Indians were twenty or thirty in number,
and after plundering the dwelling of everything,
left A party of citizens Immediately started in
pursuit, but with what success had not been
learned when the expressman left,
The Coopers settled in Humboldt county, in
1851, and this is the third brother who has been
murdered by Indians. If anything, the Indians
of Humboldt county are more daring and hostile
than they were three years ago, and il is very
easy to be seen that there is only one alternative
left total determination.
The Humboldt Times closes an article on the
present condition Of affairs in that county in the
following language:
As loyal citizens Of The United States we have
a right to demand protection in the peaceful en-
joyment of our lives, liberty and property. And
if by reason of untoward circumstances, the Uni
ted States cannot Immediately respond to our
just demand then il is the duty of the State gov
ernment. to the support of which annually
pay thousands Of dollars Of our hard earned mo-
ney, to render ample and speedy assistance.
That the proper authorities will respond with
aacrity to our call for assistance we cannot per-
nit ourselves to doubt for moment. Bat we
ask something more. We ask that the press Of
the State no longer misrepresent the position in
which the people of this county are placed. We
ask that instead of standing aloot and tauntng
us with our misfortunes, they present the truth
upon this subject that those in authority, and
whose duty it is to extend the protecting arm of
the Government over the humblest citizen, may
not through ignorance neglect the performance
of their whole duty
At meeting of the citizens of that county
held at the Court House, in Eureka, on Wednes-
day week. resolutions were passed praying the
Governor to furnish immediate and sufficient aid
