discharged the gun and lodged the contents
in Gibson's breast, Gibson then chased him
two or three yards across the store, when
throwing his knife at Harper with all his re
naming strength, he fell dead.

The Nez Perces gold mines are as great a

claim to every twenty men, ahd tell you a
good many men will see the elephant before
they will be able to get back. Some few
claims are paying very wellsbut the mining
region is Hot extensive; only two small
creeks and Orc Fino swamp will pay in
places. expect there is some excitment at
Yreka about these mines Correspondents of
California papers are paid for it, and they
chronicle some very flattering reports about
the mines in which their is not a word of
truth. The steamboat company are making
money out of the excitement, and the cor

FoURrn OF July GENERALS. &C eneral Allen
of the Nevada Transcript. who is as true as
steel on the Union question, says, in regard
to the recent disaster at Manassas Junction,
There is one conclusion which forces itself
on the minds of the least prejudiced, and
this is, that the lives of thousand OF pure and
loyal patriots, the honor of the American
arms, and the salvation Of the country had,
with, perhaps two or three exceptions, been
entrused to the greatest pack of jackasses
that ever disgraced the military uniform.
Fourth of July" Generals lawyers and ira
ders will do very well in their places but
they are not the kind of men to be pitted
against such customers as Lee, Johnston,
Beauregard and jeff Davis. No doubt, this
will all be remedied, and, perhaps, this very
check may eventually prove of great va)ne
to Gen Scott and the Government, as it will
compel the men through whose influence or
agency it was brought about to hide their
diminished heads, and leave the sole manage
ment of the army to the only man who is
competent to form and guide it.

WHAT 1T Cosrs CANDIDATES TO HAVE TIE
CHANCE OF ELECTIoN.-As the assessment of
candidates on the city and county tickets by
the two County Central Committees has been
the subject of considerable discussion in po-
litical circles, we have taken some pains to
obtain the figures and give below the result
The assessment of the democratic Central
Committee is as follows: County Judge,
$3.50; President of the Board of Supervisors,
1850; sheriff $780, District Attorney, 800;
Treasurer, 375; County Clerk. S4OO; Auditor
1875; Assessor, $500; Warden, Sl50; Coro-
ner, 500; County Surveyor, 500; Public
Administrator, $40: Senator, l25; Assembly,

Police. e75; Clerk of Water Works, :75;
Harbor Master. $500: Justices of the Peace,
each 800; Consta b]es, each $50; Supervisors,
each $50 The Republican assessment is as
follows: County Judge, $780, President of
the Board $3.50; Sheriff, $3.50; District At
torney. $3.50; Treasurer, $3.50; County Clerk,
$3.50; Auditor $3.50; Assessor, $3.50; Warden,

amounts in the aggregate, to S5,O20; the Re-
publican to S4,775 These sums are much
larger than those of any previous year. 1t
will be OF served that while the assessments
as to some offes correspond, or nearly so, as
to the amount, on others they differ very
widely. The Republican Judgeship is $3.50
uore than the Democratic, and the Presi-
dency Of the Board is 800 less. For Dis
trict Attorney the Republican is $3.50 less
than the Democratic, and for Treasurer s.25
less; County Clerk. $50 less; Auditor, Sl25
less. The Assessor on the Republican ticket
is set down at tut one-haH that of the Dem
ocratic justices of the Peace and Assem-
blymen are assessed on the Republican side
much more heavily than those on the oppo
site side. 1t is a matter of complaint among
candidates. that the offices which pay heavy
profits and command patronage in the way
ofthe appointment of clerks. etc, are assessed
much more lightly than the minor Offices

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
WESTERN VIRGINIA.
BEvERLy,VA July l6, 1861.
Soldiers of the Army of the West:
am more than satisfied with you. You
have annihiated two armies, commanded by
educated and experienced soldiers. intrenched
in mountain Businesses fortified at their leis
ure. You have taken five guns, twelve col
ors fifteen hundred stand of arms. one thou
sand prisoners, including more than forty
oficers-one of the two commanders of the
rebels is prisoner, the other lost iis life on
the field of battle. You have killed more
than two hundred and fifty of the enemy,
who have lost all their baggage and camp
eouipage. All this has been accomplished
with the loss of twenty brave men killed and
sixty wounded on your part.
You have proved that Union men, fight
ing for the preservation of our Government,
are more than a match for our misguided and
erring brethren; more than this, you have
shown mercy to the vanquished. You have
made long and ardious marches often with
insufficient food, exposed to the inclemency Of
the weather have not hesitated to demand
this of you, feeling that could rely on your
endurance, patriotism and courage.
In the future may have still greater de-
mands to make upon you, still greater sacri
fees for you to OFFER it shall be my care 10
provide for you to the extent of my ability ;
but know now, that BY your valor and en-
durance, you will accomplish all that's asked.
Soldiers l have confidence in you, and l
trust you have learned to confide in me Re.
member that discipline and subordinalion are
qualities Of equal value and courage.
au proud to sny that you have gained
the highest reward that American troops can
receive-the thanks of Congress and the ap-
plause of your fellow-citizens.
