LOCAL MATTERS.


DEPARTURR.-Mr. L. c. Wickes and wife
left here on Tuesday morning, for San Francis
co, with the intention of taking passage for
New York by the steamer Of the 2Ist. During
residence Of some six years in Nevada Mr..
Wickes has sustained the reputation of an hon.
orable and energetic business man, and his de-
parture is regretted by host of acquaintances
and friends. 1t is his intention to remain per-
manently at the East, but like many Others
who have left with a similar purpose, he will
probably return to California in the course Of a
year or two.
THE MARTINETTI TROUPE will give an en-
tertainment at Nevada this evening. The per-
formance comes off under an immense canvas
pavilion, which has been put up on the vacant
lot in rear Of the National Exchange. Attached
to the company are no less sthan twenty efficient
performers, with an excellent band, and all the
necessary scenery, stage-fxtures, and machin-
cry, which adds so greatly to the interest Of the
entertainment The company performed to an
immense audience at Grass Valley, last eve
ming, and we expect the pavilion will be crow
ded tonight.
THEATRIcAL.-Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne has
accepted a complimentary benefit rendered by
the citizens, which will come off at the Theater
next Monday evening. The pieces selected for
the occasion are "Evadne, or the Hall of Stat
ues," and "Faint Heart Never Won a Fair
Lady" Mrs. Hayne will personate the leading
female character in each piece, and viii also
recite brakes Address to the American Flag.
We do not doubt but that our citizens will
generally attend.
FIRE ALARMs.-An alarm of FIRE was raised
about one o'clock yesterday afternoon, pro-
ceeding from Blassauf's Brewery on Spring
street, and another this morning, caused by the
burning out of a chimney on Broad street. The
fire companies were promptly on hand but their
services were not needed. The wind has been
blowing pretty hard for day or two past, and
fire once under headway in any of the wood
en- buildings would be difficult to subdue.
THE WEATHER.-For day or two past, a
chilly disagreeable wind has prevailed, the
weather being unusually cool for the season,
and nearly as disagreeable as summer weather
at the Bay.
PREACHING The Rev. Mr.. Diercking will
preach in German, at the Court House, at
three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and at the
brick church at eight o'clock in the evening.

REAL ESTATE IN SAN FRANCIsco'-Sixty-
two lots were lately sold at auction in Sau
Francisco, located in different parts of the
city. The Herald gives the prices attained,
by which those acquainted with the locali-
ties can form a very fair idea of the present
value of real estate in that city.
Lots on the south side of Howard street,
near Fifth, 25x80 feet, averaged $1,000. Lots
on the north side Of Tchama street, near Fifth,
25x75 feet, averaged $3.50. Lots on the south
side of Tehama strret, 25xS0 feet, near Fifth,
$3.50. Lots on the north side of Clementina
street, near Fifth, 25x75 feet, averaged 1925.
Lots on the north side of Folsom street, near
Fifth, 25hS5 feet, averaged 800. Lot on the
south side of Jackson street, near Kearny, "a
feet l2 inches by 68 feet inches, brought
81 800, Lot on the southwest corner Of Fol-
som and Third streets, 30x50 feet, with the
store thereon, brought $1,000. Lot on the
northwest corner Of Davis and Sacramento
streets, 4Ox55 feet, with the buildings thereon,
sold for 5000.

CoNTRiBUTONs.-Tbe New York Herald
of a recent date gives list of the money
contributed towards the support of the
Government in different Northern States,
wh'oh amounts in the aggregate TO over
eleven million of dollars. This does not
include the large contributions of clothing
and other nesessaries, for the volunteer
companies, of which no estimate can be
made. Since the list was published, the
Legislature Of Connecticut has appropriated
two millions, Vermont one million, and
Illinois, we believe, has appropriated three
millions. These contributions will be more
than sufficient to keep up the volunteer
force until the meeting of Congress.

THREE suns we're seen at once at Scots
,ille Va, one morning, lately, and are thus de-
scribed by an eye witness: In addition to the
regular rising Of the GLORIOUS orb Of day." two
distinct suns accompanied the main body, one
of which moved IN a northern course, while the
other bore along in a southerly directiOn-both
equi-distant from the main body. After this
trio Of suns had reached an hours height, the
two gradually retired, when beautiful rainbow
arehed the heavens, a sight too grand for words

COMMUNICATION.

LAFAYETTE. June %, 1861.
To the voters of Smith and Sumner counties, the
time will soon arrive when you will be called upon
in connection with Macon county, to select man to
represent the people of this Pictorial District, com
posed of said counties IN the lower branch of our
next Legislature. There are already two candi-
dates before you asking your support at the ballot
box on the first of August next, TO witt NJ n. Alex
ander of Macon, and Baxter Smith, of Sumner,
both of whom are high toned gentlemen, and true
Southern men, and would, | have no doubt repre-
sent the District with ability, and IN such manner
as to receive the appreciation of their constituents
AL old party lines being obliteraed. it cannot be
a party race, and hence other things should be
looked TO in making choice between these two
men. Macon county has more voters and greater
interest to be represented by the Foater from this
District than either Smith Sumner, from the fact
that the two latter counties have representative
each and Macon county has none; therefore pre-
ference should be given to Macon county to preseRt
the man to fill that position. Macon county has
acted very generously towards Smith and Sumner
heretofore and for that reason think it is certain
ly due to her that she should furnish the FlOater
this time. In 1857 Macon quietly yielded
to Smith and Sumner and the result W as the cleo.
ton of Mr.. Turner, of Sumner county ain 1859 Ma
con again yielded and Mr.. Barksdale of Sumner,
was elected. Hence it will be seen that Sumner
county has mad the Floater twice in succession.
Now would not justice say that Macon has the
highest CLAIMS for her candidate at this time NJ N.
Alexander, the man she presents, is a man of age
and experience well qualified to fill the position
the very man for the times.
This appeal fellow citizens of Smith and Sumner
counties, your generosity, is most respectfully
made, and we hope you will respond favOrably at
the ballot-box on the first of August next
Macon.

Col. Jas. Thornton.

Our fellow-citizen, Jas B. Thornton, now that the
State Of Tennessee safely and securely discovered
in her political ties with the rotton Union with Lin
con the vulgar despot TO which glorious result he
contributed has utmost efforts, has, learn, just
started for Richmond, to offer his services in any
capacity they may be rendered available, to Presi-
dent Davis.
Though Virginia is his native State, he had been,
for the last fifteen years, resident of this city;
during that time he acquired a reputation a. a
distinction jurist and accomplished gentleman,
of which anv might be proud. And though,
while citizen of Tennessee, he had never sought
or occupied any political position yet he has ever
taken most active and influential part in the pO-
litical movements of the day. Being most able
advocate Of the State Rights school OF politics, he
had become as much distinguished fer has states
manlike and comprehensive views upon those sub
iects as in his congena profession of the law. It
would be difficult to mention any other individual
who by tongue and pen and personal effort con-
tributed more to the glorious result of the late cleo
ton in Tennessee, than did Mr.. Thornton-MeHIphiS
AUGldnche.
We take particular pleasure in endorsing the
shove complimentary remarks of our cOtemporary,
the AuGldnche We are intimately conversant with
Col. TuoRNToNs career in Tennessee, and we can
conscentiously say, that if there is staunch,
devoted and intrepid States Rights man in Tennes-
see, we have failed TO meet him. Col. 7. has la
bored in the cause of Southern independence, with
an assduity and ability that are entitled to the high
est admiration. The great work having been
achieved of freeing State from the thraldOm Of
Elack Republican despotism, Col. THORNTON natu-
rally desires to enter into the work of defending
the South against its vandal invaders We trust he
will receive a commission commensurate with his
merits.

The Lynchburg Republican of the Goth says:
From an officer in one Of the companies stati0It
ed at Manassas Junction. who arrived here yestery
day we have obtained the following particulars d
matters at that point.
Troops are arriving in large numbers every day,
which are being thrown forward, and for miles
around every point is occupied by them many o.
them almost within.the enemy's lines.
Col. Gregg's command has advanced to Falls
Church, seven miles this side of Alexandria. The
Federal troops vacated the position short willis
before the South Carolinians reached it.
Three Hessians-s captain, sergeant and corpora
of Connecticut company-were taken prisoners
on Saturday and brought into camp by one of oul
scouts. They were out on accommodating expedi
tion dressed in citizens Clothes and without arms
hoping to escape detection, but scout at once
observing the Yankee in them, took them prisoners
and without assistance marched them into camp
They were sent on to Richmond yesterday.
Nothing was definitely known of the intended
movements of Gen. Beauregard, but it was the gen
eral impression that he will give the Hessian
an opportunity of testing the courage and fghtinl
qualities of our troops.
The troops generally are in good health and spir
its, and all extremely anxious for fight.

KrrRAcr FRoN A rRTYArE LETrER.

EXTRACT IRON PRIVATE LETTER
RlouSr Couxrr, June 2e.-ADuring the last few
days have seen divers so-called Union men, and
have yet 70 and one that says he il for East Tennss
see separating from the State. II the sentiment
expressed here is an index of what it is in other
sections OF East Tennessee the action of the Greene
vile convention viii meet with but little favor from
the masses. The people are inclined to pay no at
tention to it. have no doubt If the question were
fully and fairly tested at the balot,ox the people
would vote against separation by srl Overwhelming
majority. Our friends in Middle and West Tennes-
see may rest easy on that subject The Indications
are that the people here viii manage that little mat
ter.
''Some Of us are busy explaining the results of
such scheme financially as well as politically
We would be pent-up commonwealth, without
money, without credit and without friends; paying
a duty on all exports South as well as on al i'm
ports from that source; with no friends to appeal to
in case Of our section being invaded by an enemy.
The Southern people would not purchase single
dollars worth of our horses, mules, hogs, bacon,
corn, wheat, flour, or anything else that we are in
the habit of selling them, as long as they could
procure supplies elsewhere. Similar arguments to
these, though more in detail cause every man that
have conversed with on the subject to open his
eyes and denounce the scheme of separation, The
enormous expenses of a separate State Govern
ment and the onerous burden of taxes and the de-
probation of property, are argument that touch
the ''pocket nerve, p and cause rampant Union men
to cool down quickly"
The Knoxville Register of the 27th has the follow
ing;
| OUR SENATOR AGAINST CIvn. WAR.-We under
stand that letter received in this city yester-
day from our Senator in the Legislature Hon. JAS
S. Boyd in which he declares his unequivocal &C.
quiesence in the recent vote of the State and ex-
pressive Of his Willingness to favor such legislation
| as will conform to the popular will sodecared.
Capt. Boyd has been an ardent anil unhinching
! Union man, but like patriot who deplores civil
| war, he does not cooperate with those who would
invite the desolation which always attends it, Re
gardless of the past we honor him for his present
position.
EoYAL TO TENNESSEE have hai the pleasure
Of receiving in our sanctum within a few DAYS
past, several intelligent and influential Union men
who, up to the late election were considered among
the most ultra. They assured US that in voting
against separations they had thought of sanction
ing either the lunatic scheme Of separating East
Tennessee from the rest Of the State or of giving
countenance to the still more wicked design OF
Andy Johnson, TO have the st ate invaded by the
minions of Lincoln. They are for acquiescing in
the will of majority If the voters of the State
expressed at the ballotbox, without qualification
or reserve. This we have no doubt is the sentiment
of the majority OF the intelligent Union o.
East Tennessee.

Movements of troops--Latest from the

Three companies of Natchez Howtzers left the
city yesterday by the early train for the entrenched
camp on the top of the Blue Ridge. They have nine
rifled cannon, which added to those already at the
camp make the total of 49,
Two regiments arrived yesterday from Georgia,
one infantry and one rihes-l900 men, and camped
at Buchsnan's Springs. They go tomorrow to camp
Steuben, ready to meet the enemy-t though they are
only armed with old flint muskets.
The 23d regiment of Louisiana Infantry were
yesterday dispatched in great haste to Weldon to
meet the enemy. This company is very handsome
y equipped, and will perform first rate service.
Thirteen Columbiads were shipped yesterday for
Warwick, and forthwith put in position-of which
