THE CgEscEsT BLUES AT MANAssA As.--As much
anxiety has been felt in the city concerning the
fate of this company, which was known to have
been stationed on Stone Bridge, just previous to
the battle of Manassas, we are pleased to be able
to state, from letters received in this city by
various persons yesterday, that they are all safe,
and what is better still, have acted in the most
gallant manner.
A letter was yesterday received, addressed to
she editor Of this paper, in which it was stated
that during the battle, thirtyfEe of the Crescent
Blues, with their Captain, McG. Goodwin, Lieut..
JOS Saunders, and Orderly Sergeant Ashbridge,
had become detached from the rest of the COM
apany, and joining the Secoud South Carolina Regi-
mes, had participated in the bloodiest part of the
days work, fighting like tigers. They assisted in
the capture Of sherman's battery, and after the
capture, Capt. Goodwin, Sergeant Ashbridge and
prisatss Levy and Cushing. aided in loading one of
the guns, and firing npon the enemy. This detach-
Ient later in the day also assisted in the capture
Of twenty six pieces Of cannon, and displayed
tboughout heroism equal to any on that we'll
fought field.
These particulars will no doubt afford pleasure
to onr whole community, being another proof that
the New Orleans troops have, held a first place in
all the conflicts in which they were engaged, since
the commencemento the. war. We must confess
shat we expected great things from the Blues, and
are proud to say are not disappointed.

Soaring the American Eagle.

We clip the following from the Unions report
of the Senate proceedings on the 7th inst
Mr.. Watson (rising amid considerable confn-
sion)-Mr. President When the eagle is IN the
heavens
The President pro tenn. (nterrupting)-
Chair cannot recognize any gentleman until the
Senate comes to order. l.aughter.1
Mr.. Crttenden-I move that the Senate do now
adjourn.
The motion was put and carried and accord
ingly, at quarter before three o'clock, the Sen
ate adjourned.
1t will be noticed that the Senate adjourned,
leaving Senator Watson's eagle soaring in the
heavens, and, no doubt, that republican bird will
be very weary before the Senator gets the floor,
to bring him to perch. This unfortunate attempt
at eage.nying, reminds us of an incident which
actually occurred in Weaverville, some four
years since. A gentleman, since made famous
by the ANNALS of Trinity County," and who
made great pretensons as a scholar and philoso-
pher, concluded to enlighten the citizens Of our
town by delivering lecture. For the lack of a
better name we shall call him Cox. Well, Cox
procured room for that purpose, and on the
appointed evening, and at the proper hour, the
hall was full to overfowing, awaiting in anxious
expectation the learned and eloquent lecturer.
Presently Cox appeared in all the conscious pride
and power of the eloquent orator, His subject
was grand and sublime" California and her
Glorious Future" He commenced
"Lades and gentlemen: (Ladies all detained
at home by slight cod) The subject which |
have chosen to lecture upon this evening, is one
of those grand, lofty and progressive themes
which is well calculated to enrap, enchain, and
captvate every true lover of this great and go-
rious Union. There is nothing more illustrative
of the character of the American people, of their
pride, their independence and power, of their
elevated sentiments and lofty aspirations, than
our national emblem--the noble, grand, defiant
heaven king-tbe American eagle. AS this ma
jestic bird circles in upper ether, ont gazing the
brilliant sun, he views all beneath his cloud home
with dsdan The loftiest rocks that cap the
Alleghanies, or Rocky mountains, alone become
his thrones. His realms are the ocean sky, and
the snow crowned Cordlleras! He walks ceru-
lean deeps like thing of lfe' He sweeps
from the Pacific shores to the Atlantic strand.
He holds communion with the mysteries of the
storm, and he plumes -plumes-plumes-
Just here a wag-Dr. C., our present Con-
sui at Valparaiso, sang out" Cox, let that bird
go, and catch another ~
The effect may be imagined. That lecture
was about wound up. We respectfully suggest
to the Senator from Santa Cruz, that when he
gets the foor he catch rooster that bird is
intensely democratic, and much easier managed
than his eagle

A Distinguished Mark of Respect.

At the opening of the Court of Sessions on
Tuesday morning, and Immediately after the
Grand Jury were impaneled, the following reso-
lu tion was introduced by Jos. Ransom, Esq, oi
Lewiston and one of the members of that body
Whereas, it has pleased Divine Providence to
remove from our midst one of our most respected
and exemplary citizens, S. CLARK JONES, by a
sudden and unexpected death, therefore, be il
ResoiUed that the Grand Jury, with the appro-
baton and concurrence of the Court, adjourn
from the hour of two o'clock p. m, this day, to
attend the funeral of the deceased, as a mark of
respect for the man whose loss the community
deplores.
Upon presentation of the resolution to the
Court Judge Curtis paid the following tribute to
the worth of the deceased
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury The event
which has called forth the resolution now offered,
is indeed a sad one and one which will no doubt
be regretted by the whole community | see
nothing improper in the adoption of the resou-
tion thus presented 10 respect to the memory of
the deceased, but deem it rather the proper time
and place TO minge in the expression of grief
which manests itself so deeply in the minds and
feelings of all classes of our fellow citizens. Mr.
Jones was, when living, a true and noble repre-
sentative of that honorable class of citizens with
whom he was identified, and with whom he toiled
For many years be has lived in our midst pursu-
ing the maxim of honest industry. as practical
miner, and contributing by his Intelligence, his
skill, his energy and his enterprise, to the public
good. Engaged as he was for long period of
time, IN the most arduous pursuits of life, he
maintained throughout character irreproacha-
BILE he was as generous and warm in heart as he
was honorable his integrity of purpose was
never questioned he was reliable and true to bis
friends, whose aid and influence he could always
command when be desired it. The feeling and
sympathy which have prompted the introduction
OF the resolution Is at once appropriate and com
and concurrence of the Court
