The WAR AND CoTToN.-Tbe Liverpool
Times, of May 4th, commenting on our re-.
bellion, says:
Already the effects Of this lamentable strife
are beginning TO reach US. We have now only
twenty-three weeks consumption Of American
cotton in this country and at sea, which must
compel the spinners TO lessen their production
an event only inferior in the misery it will
cause to the civil strife now passing in Ameri-
ca. The stock Of East India cotton held in this
port is considerable, being 100000 bales,
against 10000 bales at this time last year, and
great exertions win be made throughout the
cotton districts Of India to occupy the ground
which the American planters have vacated !; but
all changes Of this kind must necessarily be
progressive, and it is clear that we have very
discouraging prospects to look in the face, aris-
ing out Of the unhappy position Of affairs in the
Western World.

FIGHT WITH INDIANs.--An Oregon paper
has been furnished the following particulars
of the killing of Alfred Fry and man
named Floyd, by the Indians in the Colville
country,
Alfred was keeping store on one side of
the river. aud man by the name of Green
Floyd had one on the other side. Two In
dians stole pair of boots from the store
owned by Floyd. The night the boots were
stolen the Indians fred across the river at
the store, aud the next morning Floyd came
across the river after help to protect his
store. Mr.. Fry and ten other men went
across the river with him. Floyd followed
TO the Indians to find out what they meant,
when they Immediately came out with their
bows and arrows drawn. They shot Floyd
dead on the ground, then Fry shot the chief
and as he did so, an Indian shot him in the
abdomen-he drew the arrow with his left
hand and ran and put his revolver to the
indians ear and shot him dead. Fry died
the next day. The whites, after firing off
all their arms, retreated across the river.
Four were wounded after they were in the
boat.

The RIGHT TALK.-The Shasta Herald
has this vigorous and patriotic paragraph
The American Government must never
be torn down, nor pillar that supports the
EdiGce of Freedom removed from its proper
place. AS one man let us stand by the
Government and by Lincoln. the chief exc
cutive of the Nation, until the troubles
which environ US are passed. Away with
party away with every sordid personal or
political consideration, until the supremacy
of our Government, so rudely assailed, Is
again triumphantly asserted, when we can
resume our old feuds over measures Of Gov.
ernmental policy and party teneRts
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-20
Right Talk In Kentucky.

AT late Union meeting in Louisville.
Robert Mallory, unconditional Union can
didate for Congress, said
JEFF. Davis Il Co.. have willfully involved
themselves in war; they have deliberately
brought on the war; they have no right or
reason to expect that Kentucky will hght
their battles, She will do nothing to avert
their merited retribution. There was no
adequate, just or reasonable cause for the
secession, rebellion or revolution of q single
Southern State. The pretexts for secession
were all silly, flimsy, groundless and alb.
surd. The General Government neither IN
Jured, nor interfered with, nor threatened
Southern rights In any wise. The fugitive
slave law was as faithfully executed as any
law upon the Federal or State statute-books
and with reference to Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, is better carried out to-day than ever
before. Southern rights in the Territories
were as well secured and respected by the
laws of the second session of the last Com
gress as Northern rights. Southern rights
in the Territories aud In the States were
never so perfectly guaranteed as they are
at this day. The Secessionists knew thew
could control the Administration in the en-
n"i"S CoueiScS Ny u hluJOIity OF twenty-five
in the House aud thirteen in She Senate, and
yet seceeded. Secession is the sum Of all
crimes. follies and absurdites. Kentucky
will never sanction the conspiracy. She will
never join "the Confederate States" in their
insane and suicidal career-will never in-
flict infamy and ruin upon herself for their
sakes. For Kentucky to secede would he
pusilanilnity, cowardice, treason. Let her.
If need be, be the Thermopyle of liberty
and Union. While she will strive for peace
and reunion, she will not desert the stars
and stripes. She will fight for her country's
flag rather than give II up for the Palmetto
or Confederate Gag.
Referring to Gov. Magofin's "warning'
the Government not to occupy any port,
post or place in Kentucky, Mr.. Mallory
said:
The Government has clear constitutional
rights upon our soil, and they must be re-
spected and maintained. The Government
has in Kentucky its courts, its custom hOu.
ses it's post-ofiices, its arsenals, its barracks.
its arms and munitions, its troops, its Off
cers-military, judicial and civil; and the
Government has perfect right to keep
them here. The Confederate States have
no such rights in Kentucky.

WTGFALL's RUFFIANs.-We learn from
the Louisville Courier that Senator Wigfall.
of Texas. is 10 command regiment Of one
thousand picked men, selected from tie
whole army of the Confederate States. No
man In the regiment is TO weigh under one
hundred and seventy pounds, to be under
six feet high, or over thirty years of age.
Each man will be armed with an Enfield
rife, two navy revOlvers and six pouud d
bowie-knife. Such a corps, commanded by
the reckless Wigfall, we should assign 70
the Green Mountain boys. TO Ellsworth =
FIRE Iouaves, or TO special regiment Of
Maine lumbeFmen.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-20

VALUE OF THE RFLE.-It has been said
that the battles of the American Revolu.
ton were gained by the rife" The British
soldiers were not then instructed TO shoot
at mark, but those days are all passed
forever. AT the battle Of Vittoria. in Spain.
800 balls we're fred for every man that was
killed. At the battle Of Churubusco, in
Mexico. l25 American balls were fred for
every Mexican that was killed this was
better firing than that of the enemy, who
fired 800 balls for every man killed on our
side. This, however, will not do how. In
England, party Of thirty skirmishers can
destroy battery Of light artillery, at 500
yards distance, in one minute.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-20

VIRGINIA VS.. KENTUcKY.-It has been q
generally received opinion that whenever
the Ancient Dominion took snuff Kentucky
(her daughter) would most dutlfully sneeze.
That's an old foxy idea, and ought to be
laid aside. Kentucky will never permit
rabid and fanatical minority to saddle her
with secession and bully her out of the
Union, as Virginia was saddled and bullied /!
Never no, never The Union men OF
Kentucky will not consent to be transferred
to JEFF Davis like so many chattles. Mind
that. If any such attempt is made, in this
State, it will be the signal for civa soar, aud
the Union men will rise 10 their might and
crush and wipe out the last vcstige of se.
cesson in Kentucky. On that they are
determined They have stood about as
much as they can already. Better not
crowd them too far.--[Frankfort, (Ky)
Messenger.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-20

CALIFORNIA NoTABLEs.-The Chile CORES
pondent of the San Francisco Alta, under
date of May Sd, says: | have seen and
conversed with Henry Meiggs, who is rich
and much respected by all who know him.
He says he will yet make California his
home. Minister Bigler is anxious to return
to California. Wells, the murderer, who
killed half dozen men in Sacramento, is
here, and Bigler has been trying TO have
him caught and sent back TO California.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-20

DISTANCE TO SALT LAKE.-Mr. Buckley,
Superintendent of the Overland Mail Com.
pany, has measured the distance of the
route from Carson City to Salt Lake, and
established stations thereon. There are
now ~ stations between the points, and the
distance Is $50 miles. From Placerville to
Salt Lake, by the Mail route, the distance
is 636 miles. The Company intend to es-
tablish stations at about II miles apart, for
the entire distance.

4 Doc SToRy.-Ieadng story, the

from New York to Albany, distance of
some three hundred miles, to his Old

we heard sometime since, hut for the
truth of which We cannot v0uch \ man
from one of the Western States brought
to California large Newfoundland dog.
\ few months after his arrival, bcingcom-
PEELED to return on business, and intend.
ing to go by water, he gave the dog to Il
friend and went to San Francisco to take
passage for New York. In few days at-
ter his departure the animal wRS miss
ing; and it is said the poor brute actually
crossed the plains alone, and reached his
old home within week of his masters
arrival, much jaded and reduced in flesh
by his long journey. If this be true, the
exploit of the Albany dog is far cclipscd,
as the trip from New York to Albany is
nothing compared to the journey across
the plains. Union Democrat.

FoR SPEAEER.-The Calavcras ChrO"i-
Gle suggests the name Of Thomas O'Bricn,
Of that county, for Speaker. Shannon, OF
Plumas county, has also been recommend
ed for the same position. They are both
" Union Democrats" and may bid for the
Republican vote. They have both served
in the Assembly, both have had expert
cnce and may be familiar with Parlia-
mentary rules. Shannon is the ADLER man
