SATURDAY EVENING, AUG. 81, 1861.

THAT DIsPATcH.-The Republican papers
are trying hard to make little capital out
of dispatch which Gen. Cotton sent to diff
ferent points in the interior, on Tuesday
last. The dispatch stated that the 5. F..
Times had taken down the name of Stan
ford and hoisted that of Conness. The
Marysville Appeal, of yesterday, quotes q
paragraph from the Democrat, dispatch
from one H. Wadsworth, of Yreka, and q
statement of Mr.. Ladd, Superintendent of
the telegraph company, and concludes by
saying ''there is evidently lie out some
where" We have Investigated the matter
somewhat, and discover that there is lie
out, and casual glance at the quotations
in the Appeal shows that this man, II
Wadsworth, a Republican of Yreka, is the
liar. The obtuse writer in the Appeal prob
ably was not aware he was convicting his
own friend Of telling falsehood, but he
has done it most effeetually. The Appeal
exhibits much virtuons indignation in rela-
tiou to the 'lying statement" and we sim
cerely trust that its friend Mr.. Wadsworth,
upon whom IL fixes the charge, will take the
matter in good part

ARMS IN CAILFoRSA.-The steamer tb.,
sailed on the 11th inst, took East 30 ooo
rifles and percussion cap muskets for tbo
use of the Government, and a guard of sal
diers, under Lieutenant. was placed On
board to protect them. There are still =,

"a MALICIOUS FALsEHooD."- Jour

"a MALICIOUS FALsEHooD." THE Jour
nal, of yesterday, commences an article
under the above heading as follows:
A dispatch to the Democrat last night, taken
from the Sacramento Bee says Stanford will
withdraw to-day.
The dispatch in our last, alluded to by
the Journal, was not taken from the Bee,
nor was there anything in it stating that
Stanford would withdraw that day. It
merely stated that COnness was gaining
rapidly, and that it was generally believed
Stanford would withdraw.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-08-31

New York PoLTTCs.-The Breckenridge
State Committee of New York met at Alba
ny, August 14th, passed resolutions in op-
position to the war, and disbanded their or.
ganization. Only twelve members were
present, and one member was expelled for
having accepted an Office under Lincoln.
The next political contest in New York will
be between the Douglas Democrats and
Republicans.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-08-31

A DISPATCH was lately going the rounds
of the Eastern press 10 the effect that the
War Department had accepted the services
of $4,000 volunteers from California, and
that they were to be in the field in forty
days time. This very naturally caused
Eastern people to open their eyes at the
military spirit and prOwess of Californians.
The item was doubtless intended for 5000.
ihe mistake being caused by the acciden-
tai adding of an extra figure.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-08-31

The PoNY NEws, Published in another
column, is not of special Importance. 1t
appears there is a fearful persecution Of
Union men in some parts of Kentucky, and
the Government has supplied the Union
men of the State with arms and ammunition
TO protect themselves. The report that
Gen. Banks had taken Winchester needs
confirmation. If the report is correct, an
extra cypheg has doubtless been added to
the number of rebels guarding &he place.
The Government, it appears, has succeeded
in negotiating loan of $l50,OO0, ,OOO-that
amount having been taken by the New
York, Philadelphia and Boston banks. Ac-
tive military preparations are going on at
Washington and st. Louis large bodies of
troops are daily arriving at the Capital,
snd if an advance is made at all, it is be-
lieved it will be on the part Of Mcclellan
against the Confederates.

FATAL STABBNG AFFRAY.-A dispatch,
dated San Andreas, August 28thth, says:

A report has reached here that w. II. Clary,
the Breckenridge candidate for Senator last
year, stabbed and killed a man by the name of
VIM. Bennett, at Ell Dorado, in this county,
this morning. The difficulty grew out of po-
litical discussion, and the words damned Black
Republican" were by some one used and a
fight ensued. Bennett struck Clary twice, when
Clary drew knife and stabbed him in the lefh

DRAMATIC SPECTACLE.

Altogether this was the most thrillingly
dramatic scene it has been my fortune to
witness. Here the passions ofa1xiety, fear,
desire and hope, contendrd in The hearts of
multiIudes, and reflected their divers ihfiu-
ences in their department and couDtenances.
You could hear hearts beat. Now you would
discover pallor Overspreading the visages
of hundreds, perhaps quickly followed by
the suffuson OF noble excitement, born of
| eloquence.
The department of Senator's was, per-
haps. the most striking feature of the spec-
tscle. The Republicans were gathered in
circle about the venerable speaker; their fea-
