COUNTY FNANCEs.-T Treasurer Kruttschntt tells
US that after the first payment of Property Tax
is made into the Treasury, the indebtedness of
the county will not extend back more than eight
cen months The Treasurer adyertises today
that he will redeem warrants registered in Sep
temher lS5S-four years ago. This would lead
people to believe that the county was running
sadly behind financially. Many Of the largest
warrants drawn within the past four years have
been Cancelled in the Redemption Fund, and when
the first payment Of Property Tax is made by the
Sheriff. all outstanding warrants to within eight
cen months Of date, viii be redeemed. With
proper management we believe Trinity county
might be free from debt in three years

Why ARE THEY SuPPREssED.--It is observed
that with the aid of the War Department the
press of the North displays all possible activity
in collecting and publishing lists of the killed
and wounded in every battle and even skirmish
thus far fought As yet we have not seen or
even heard Of any statement of the killed and
wounded Of the Confederate army. Many citi-
zens of California have relatives and friends in
the Southern army, and while the people of the
North are with all possible dispatch made ac-
quauted with the fact Of having lost relatives or
friends in battle, the others are kept in suspense.
As an instance Of this we are informed that in
formation has been received by the relatives Of
his wife in san Francisco, Of the death Of +. S.
Mckenzie, once Of Weaycryle lie was killed
in one of the late battles in Missouri.

The Rebel Loss at Bull Run.

A Baltimore letter in the Philadelphia
Inquirer has tho following news from Rich
mond:
Il am told, on good authority, that a
merchant in this city has received letter
from his correspondent in Richmond, which
significantly indicates that the people of
that city are heartily sick, not only of Sc
cession and its sorrowful fruits, but of the
war. 1t is also asserted that if President
Davis and his army do not meet with greater
success than they did at Manassas, n coun-
ter feeling will manifest itself among the
people by no means encouraging to the
rebel President and tho cause he has es-
poused. The slaughter of the Confeder-
atcs is represented as terriblc-much
greater than intimated by accounts in the
newspapers.
"Thc truth regarding the killed and
wounded is suppressed as far as there is any
possibility Of doing so. When tho whole
story of Manassas is told, if ever, it will
prove astounding. Great distress prevails
among tho southern troops. They arc not
only destitute of comforts, bat of the abso-
lute necessities of subsistence. Clothes,
shoes, food, war munitions, are all lamenta-
bly, scarce, as is money also"

BrOwnIOw on the Presidents Message.
Brownlow's Knoxville Wing publishes
the Presidents Message with the following
remarks:
awe know not who wrote the Message,
but we do know Lincoln has some able men
iu his Cabinet, and that his Message with
out endorsing all it says, is second, in point
of ability to no document Of the kind we
have seen in a quarter of century. 1t
meets Secession in such way, and hits its
authors such blows, that we don't wonder
at the hostility Of their papers towards it,
We copy it entire, aud we refer it for ap.
provaI or condemnation to the judgment of
intelligent Southern readers who arc we'll
enough acquainted with the facts and epochs
of our constitutional history to appreciate
the assertions of the Message.
The fact that Lincoln is a sectional Pres
ident, and holds sentiments not acceptable
TO any of the Southern States, will be
seized upon to prejudice the popular mind
against the TRUTH, even, set forth by him.
These considerations shall not operate upon
cur mind. II there is any one prayer that
we can pray with moro sincerity than an
other, it is this: Give us war, pcstilence,
famine, desolation, death in every form,
and with every incident Of horror, but from
the evils OF Southern Confederaey, good
Lord deliver US

ANttAwFUL FUTURE.-A man named
VIM. D. Kingin, who had committed most
atrocious murder in Michigan short time
since, and been convicted of tho crime, was
sentenced to the State Prison for life. Last
week he entered his dreary abode, a solitary
dark cell, with but a small dim light from
above, there to remain as long as his life
shall last; never to be permitted to hold
word ofconversation with any human being
never to writo word to, or hear from his
family, or any other individual; never to
know anything which occurs in the world
outside; having nothing to divert his mind
henceforth, as long as his life shall last, from
reflection upon the awful. crime he commit
ed, and its terrible retribution. He entered
his dismal cell with realization of his con-
dition, and with scarcely sufficient strength
TO maintain an erect position. Could death
come, in any shape, to mind fully capa-
bic of apreciating its approach more horri-
bic than such a one as that.

While we had $4,000 troops on the 9th
or side Of the river, with reserve Of $4,000
here in Washington, it is now ascertained
that there were not over 10000 on the
field, against 10000 OF tho enemy. In
view Of this odds an engagement yesterday
was premature. But our men urged on
their officers, and officers in council with
the superior commander presented tho same
enthusiastic appeals for au onward move
ment. But in a fair open field fight, with
all these odds against us, the result would
have been glorious victory. This, how
ever, was not the mode of warfare adopted
by tho enemy. They had chosen tho
ground. 1t was carefully selected, and was
composed Of valleys and hills covered
with forest trees. The batteries were plan
ted in various positions, and so arranged
that when the front ono should be slenced
there was another, and yet another in the
rear, ready TO open fire upon those who had
succeeded in silcncing the guns in 'front.'
Thcy were nearly all masked, and their po
silion could not bo discovered until they
had opened fire.
THE HOSTILE ARMIES FLEEING FROM THE
FIELD AT THE SAME TIME.
Correspondent of the New York Herald.
There is no doubt that tho rebels were
actually retreatiug toward Manassas Junct
ion at tho very timo when our soldiers werc
running towards Cehtervillc. Tho rein.
forcements from Manassas were probably
intended to cover the retreat of the troops
that had been cngagedin the action. Long
before the panic on onr side occurred, the
wagon train Of the rebels was vending its
way from the field, plainly indicating their
intention 10 retire. This train was followed
by largo bodies of infantry, and it is proba-
bic that il our men had stood their ground
even fifteen minutes longer, they would
have had undsputed possession of the field
1t is stated by Virginian, who came
from Manassas into our lines to-day, that
the order for the retreat of the rebels had
been already issued. 1t is evident that the
enemy did not Immediately understand the
| movementon our side. They though them.
selves whipped, and the sudden retirement
of their victors undoubtedly astonished
them. This is apparent from the fact that
no pursuit was attempted for any considera.
bic distance.

AN INcIDENT.-The Boston Journal tells

AN INCIDENT.-The Boston Journal tells
the following story:
"a good story is told Of the wife of
Capt. McGilvery, master of the ship Mary
Goodell, which was captured by the rebel
privateer, and subsequently, released and ar
rived at Portland. Mrs. McGivery was on
the voyage with her husband, and when
the ship was boarded by the pirates she
was asked by them for supply of small
stores for their use, as they were rather
short. She Immediately replied that she
had nothing but arsenic, and would gladly
give them supply, but that they could
havH nothing else from her. Seeing the
national flag near at had, they started to
secure it, when she sprang forward, and
grasping the flag threw it into chest, and
placing herself over it, declared they should
not have it unless they took her with it.
Finding the lady rather too spunky for
them they retired without further molesting
her"

Arrival of Another Shaver In New York.
A SLAYER which had been fitted out at
some port in the United States has been
captured on the African coast, reaching
that port on Tuesday. On tho l4th Of
June, the United States war steamer Sum
ter, when off Red Point, saw the brig Fal-
con and gave her chase. On bringing her
to- she was boarded and captured, and the
captain and crew made prisoners. Subse-
quently Lieut.. Young was placed on board
with prize crew of ten men. When cap
tured tho Falcon had all the appurtenances
for slave voyage. The evidences which
were at once presented to the boarding Off
GERS were so overwhelming, that the Cap
tain cf the Falcon quietly gave up the
vessel, and acknowledged that the object of
his voyage was to take cargo of slaves
The captain and five Of his crew were taken
in charge by the United States Marshal.

How James B. clay Lost his Bacon.

How James II. Clay Lost his Bacon.
A Louisville correspondent Of the N. Y.
Herald writes:
Hon. James B. Clay was member of
Congress. Heis the son Of "Harry of West"
but he inherited from the "oId man" only
the old homestead, which he sold, in the
shape of canes as mementoes, and tho name
whose luster he has dimmed. The Hon.
James B. has lately gone to speculating in
less honored articles, and for an NJ. G. has
developed into a smuggler Last week he
engaged in bacon transaction or specula-
tion, the profits of which grew monstrous in
his brilliant imagination, like the glass
speculator in the Eastern fable, till "with a
blow of the foot" as the cid story reads,
somebody else "kcked his basket into the
street." or to speek more to the point, took
possession of his bacon. With ten wagons
loaded with bacon, Clay undertook trip TO
Tennessee via Cumberland Gap. The
wagons started and the owner followed i'm
mediately. BY slow approaches the Gap
was neared, and the fearful passage of this
neutral State almost completed without any
accident to his bacon. Clay began to con-
gratulate himself on his success He had
passed the more rabid Union counties and
was nearing the Gap when small company
of Union men, having the fear of God in
their hearts, the good of the nation in their
minds and desire of good bacon in their
stomachs, marched out upon the road and
ordered the teamsters to disgorge. The
wagons were delivered Of their burdens and
the the bacon stacked by the wayside.-
The wagoners and the Hon. James B. Clay
were compelled to take the oath of allie
glance to the Union, and then, sans bacon,
with their courage oozed out of their fingers
ends, they were allowed to return.

AWashingion dispatch to the New York
Tribune, thus describes Gen. McClellan's
appearance, habits and peculiar traits;
"General Mcclellan is one Of tho least
pretentious of men--he generally wears
tho simple blouse of the riaemen, with not
even the starred shoulder straps to denote
his rank--a man who never wastes time
who is ndefatigabe in his pursuit and at
tack Of the enemy, and equally untiring in
his efforts to secure the utmost comfort Of
his men compatible with the circumstances
of soldiers life. When his line is on the
march he is ever among the men with a
kind and cheering word for every company
pleasant look, or kind salute, or hearty
grasp Of the hand for every officer or pri-
vate with whom ho is brought on speaking
terms by business; and in fight he is al
ways at tho front Of the column, in the
thickest Of the danger, encouraging his
soldiers by cheering words and fearless
deeds. He takes soldiers fare with the
rest, asking no better food, and no moro
luxurious bed than tho newest recruited
private under his command. If ho sees n
man without proper shoes or clothing, he
has that man with his captain, sent to his
own quarters, where tho man is served with
the garments he needs, and the captain re.
ceives reprimand that leads him to look
moro closely after tho comfort of bis men
in future.
"That such man should be the idol Of
his soldiers is not surprising. Tho measure
Of their alteration for him words fail to ex-
press, though the following slightly profane
but uncommonly emphatic statement of one
of his men, will approximate to IL: "We
would, every one of US fight for old Mac
till hell frozo over, and then die on the ice, >
which frigid sentiment was cordially en-.
dorsed by all who heard it."

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation " indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
IN this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons arc invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
10 cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
