making Intellectual attempts to strike light,
and cone out of his room and make for the
stairs. He had his pants in his hand, was
groaning and shaking terribly, and declared
he had been poisoned, and was sure he was
going to die. He complained of a burning
sensation in the stomach. seemed to be in
great pain, shook and cramped badly. and

CoCKE-ADooDLE-Doo. - Gen. Cooke, who
commands the Virginia bandtt on the seced.
ing side of the Potomac, has issued letter,
in which he says that the Elderly Dominion
has never entertained the idea of attacking
Washington. In justice to Cooke We feel
bound to publish the statement but in JUS
tice to ourselves we must add that Cooke un.
doubtedly lies. We all too well know that
nothing but the prompt arrival of Union
troops at the capital saved it from the thev-
ish grasp of the Virginians. Cooke goes on
to say that,
"The North has now openly and according
to the usage of civilized nations declared war
on us. We make no war on them; but,
should the soil of Virginia or the grave OF
Washington he polluted by the tread of a
single man in arms from north of the Poto-
mae, it will cause open war"
You make no war on us? Cooke you are
absurd. You are preposterous, Cooke. How
about Harper's Ferry, and Norfolk and Cos
port? How about anything belonging to
the Gov vernment anywhere in Virginia ? You
have stolen all, Cooke. Not only that
Cooke, but you have picked the pockets OF
numerous citizens of your own State simply
because they were born in the North, and
then kicked them out of their own houses
When we say thai you did all this, Cooke
we of course mean you and the other thieves
Cooke, you are the richest, iciest, checklist
traitor in the whole Virginia gang. You are
more amusing than Wise We enjoy you
You tertain us. Crow some more. old

RECRUTING.-Mr ii. A. Green, of Lippetts
California Regiment, has opened a recruiting
station at Nevada for the purpose of forming
a Company in this county to be attached to
the First California Regiment. Mr. G. has
also established branch stations at San Juan
and Moore's Flat. A muster roll has also
been left with M. Delano, of this place,
where all patriotic citizens who desire to dc
so can enroll themselves to do military duty
in defense of the Stars and Stripes 1t is
desirable that the Union loving men of Ne
vada county should be represented by at least
one Company in the armies of the Republic
and in order to be so represented it is neces-
sary that the rolls should be filed up as
speedily as possible or it may be too late for
the county to secure distinct position in the
Regiment.
W e notice by the papers that the Regiment
which is now nearly full, is undergoing daily
drills in San Francisco, and that it has orders
to hold itself in readiness TO march by the
26th instant. Strong applications have been
forwarded, by Pony, for free passage to the
East, or at least discount rates.
Prominent gentlemen in San Francisco
have volunteered pecuniary aid in arming
and equiping the Regiment We understand
that Sam Brannan has headed the list with
$4,000. The Sacramento Steamers have
rendered free passage to volunteers from
the interior to San Francisco The recruit:
from this county will be marched to Marys-
Vile.
We perceive by the Transcript that the rol
is fast filling up in Nevada, and we trust
Grass Valley will not be behind the county
seat in practical exhibition of patriotism.

1t is plain case that they must hurry mat

immediate dash at our weakest point, the Fed

are not on the Potomac within sixty days, their
rebellion will stand exposed miserable failure
They must back their allies in North Carolina
and Virginia by prompt display of force and
daring, to which end all their energies must
frat be directed We do not believe they will
even stop to reduce Fort Pickens if it should be
so held as to compel them to besiege it in form.
They cannot oait; we can; and they will show
that they cannot by speedy advance on Wash
ington unless they shall despair Of success, and
desist from serious effort altogether.
1t is cheering, then, to know that Washington
will be defended by ten thousand men before the
close of this week, and that the number will be
doubled the next, ard quadYpled the week after.
That viii be enough until we have tidiDgs that

will be limited only by the ability of the Northern
