Further private accounts OF the battle OBJ
tanned last night that the fight was prlncIpally
between the artillery, our artillcrymen shoot

five or six killed and eight wounded. The
loss of our picket guard, who were stationed
between our camp and that of the enemy, was
not precisely known. The loss of the enemy
was estimated at 100 killed.
The most remarkable circumstance of the
action is, that Of the part taken 10y our plcketS
about two hundred of whom are said to have
held the enemy in check for an hour and Il
half

On Saturday, the 9TH inst, i've steamers went
to Chckamacomico Beach. aud effected a land

Wright of Georgia, then gave chase, ran the
Yankees twenty two miles, took thirty one pris-
oners. one thousand muskcts, six field pieces,
a large quantity ofprovislons tents and every
thing else that the Yankees had. The fright,
ened creatures even left their shoes and stock
ns behind.
Our men could not all land for want of small
boats, there being eight feet ofwater where the
landing was effected. Two Federal ships at
sea threw shot and shell, but did no harm.
Four of the enemy were found dead. Col
Wright had his horse shot under him. The
Colonel then secured the man who had killed
his horse, aud complimented his bravery.
Our only loss was one Georgian, who fell
dead, while double quicking.

The "Union County Ticket.''

We publish in another column the second
days proceeding of the "Union County
convention. The ticket is made up Of men
whose personal integrity can't be questioned
This would probably have been the case in a
straight Republican Convention. The politi.
cal complexion of the ticket is strongly Re-
| publican. The Republicans evidently had
| things their own way in the Convention, and
| put as many Of their own men upon the
ticket 40 they dared, considering that it was
to be headed Union" Tho vote on Re-
corder was complete evidence of their power
to nominate a radical Republican over the
combined Douglas, Bell and Breckinridge
strength. The nomination for Sheriff
uerndoD Barrett-is an excellent one. lie
is the first choice Of hosts of Union Demo-
Gratis for the position, and will, we believe,
stand fair chance for the endorsement OF
the Union Democratic Convention, which
meets on the 27th inst. The same may be
truly said of j. p Brown, the candidate for
Treasurer-a most worthy man, and true
Union Democrat. a. j. Hewitt, candidate
for Public Administrator, is also sterling
Democrat and a substantial citizen. DR..
Teegarden is a Union Breckenridge man, and
was nominated for the Assembly. Mr. E.
! Ragan, the nominee for Clerk, was Bell
I d VI Everett man. The balance of the ticket
may be set down as Republican.
The only nominations worth having, which
were bestowed upon Douglas Democrats
were those of Sheriff and Treasurer. We do
not think our Convention can do better than
to endorse them. The Convention. what
there was of it, was highly respectable.
There were but seventy-tw delegates, while
under the call there should have been one
hundred and ifty-eight The delegates from
( the city, thirty-four in number (nearly one
( half of the Convention), were chosen by Wty
men, assembled under a call for club meet
ing, in which no mention was made of the
intention to choose delegates. The Club had,
two weeks previously, decided not to Partici-
pate / an tile C0nyention The Republican
managers seem to us to have had the Con-
yention, and with it to have opened the Rec
publican campaign in the county with flying
colors.
1t now remains for the Union Democracy
to see if they cannot put forth "A ticket of
equal or superior excellence. The Douglas
men who were nominated yesterday, would,
we believe, be entirely acceptable as nomi-
nees of our party. If it be said that we are
exhibiting partizanship, we reply, that the
party to which we belong never acknowl
edges that magnanimity which prompts 9TH
ers to nominate ticket for them to support,
and that it never walks blindlolded to the
polls to carry out political programmes of
other parties. We shall speak of the "Union
ticket" frequently and more at length.

The Irish Petition.

The great national petition of the Irish, de-
manding the right to choose their own form
of government, has been brought to London.
1t contains 100000 signatures-is TO be re-
ceived at great Irish banquet in London, at
which The O'Donoughue is to preside. The
petition was to be presented to the British
House of Commons by the O'Donoughue.
The London Times foreshadows the argu-
ments that are to be used by the British
legislators, which are, viz:
We expect nation to prove its fitness for
independence by achieving it, or at least by
making long and hard struggle for it.
Greece won her own independence so did the
Belgians, so have the Italians. In the New
Word, the United Statas, the Spanish, Portu-
guese, and French colonies all won their in
dependence and it was only when they had
accomplished the fact that other powers came
in at the eleventh hour and recognized it.
Not only is it fair to assume that nation
which has mastered its independence is capa-
ble Of governing ITSELF but, as fact, it is in
dependent and it will govern itself, and in
acknowledging the new neighbor, we only
accommodate ourselves to the facts of the
case. When the Ionians have compelled sew
eral British armies to capitulate, starved oil
burnt out several garrisons, and sent dozer
or two of our steam frigates to the bottom o.
the Mediterranean, we shall be prepared tC
advise a recognition of their independence, a
whatever cost to our pride.
There is, says the Nation, one serious flaw
in this argument-one Important element o
the case left altogether out Of consideration
The Times well knows that the people O
Lombardy did not beat the Austrians, ant
that The people of Naples did not overthrow
the government of Francis III. The Time
well knows where to find that State paper c
the British Government, in which it is de
clared that if people are not of themselvf
strong enough to overthrow the governmer
with which they are discontented, they ma
rightfully ask foreign power to help then
and that a foreign power may rightly civ
the required assistance.

Mr.. AUSTIN e. SMITH, late United States
Navy Agent for this port, will leave on the
steamer of to day for the East. Mr.. Smith
has been many years a resident of this State
and has figured prominently in public affairs
While his positive character has won for him
many devoted personal and political friends,
it has also made for him as many uncompro-
missing political foes; but friends and enemies
will concede that in all his social relations
with California, he has been an upright,
straightforward and useful citizen.-lS 7.

Can't say that we ever had any use for
him. Think he made what little there was
of himself 60 good ways. Viewed from
that standpoint, he might be regarded as
good example to show what could be done
by "cheek," without merit of any particular
sort

JAMEss NOT JosEPH's, pUT JAMEs's BAG
GAGE.-The San Francisco Times says it did
not intend to call Gov. Nye out Of his name,
as it really did do, his name being James W.
not Joseph W., but James's W. and further
more the Times says the Governor will re-
main at San Francisco "until the arrival of
the next steamer, to secure has baggage, which
was accidentally left on the wharf at New
York" We are afraid that a man who can
not engineer his baggage through from New
York to San Francisco will make queer
Governor of a new community like that in
Nevada Territory. We almost wonder that
the Governor did not buy two or three clean
shirts and pair of pants, and go on to at
tend tc the duties of his new position, in ad-
vance of that baggage. But then he could
not have made any campaign harangues.-
The people of Nevada Territory are patient
and can wait for Nye and his baggage.

Nor DEAD.-We received a call yesterday
from Robert Kerr, formerly of Stockton, but
more recently from Washoe He states that
on May 5, while attempting to recover three
mules which had been stolen from him, his
right arm was shattered by rifle ball. This
occurred in Honey Lake Valley. Hearing
killed on that occasion, he wished to inform
his friends in that city that such was not the
case, but that he etill alive, though not fully
recovered from the effects of his wound.

NOT OF Us.-The San Jose Tribune is some
times quoted as Union Democratic paper.
This is wrong. 1t denounces the resolutions
adopted by our State Central Committee as
"Abolition- coercion resolutions" Those who
do not approve of the resolutions have no
business in our State Convention. If any
portion of the party disagreed with the
Union sentiments of the majority of the Com
mittee, they should have started another
Convention call The Convention that meets
on the 4th is to be a Union Convention. All
who approved the resolutions were invited
to participate in the primary elections, and
none others No ant-coercionist has any
right to be delegate in, or a candidate be-
fore, that body.
