prices paid? These are things which the pub.

from, Capt. Burns, Of the Quartermaster's De-
partment at Cincinnati, informed responsible
gentlemen Of this State, not two weeks ago,
that no proposals had been issued and that no

advertised and al bids considered. Are veto

that the enemy-if they wait for. an attack

1000 or L, ,000 strong under the command Of
General Wise They hare 600 cavalry, and are
tolerably supplied with field pieces.
When the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth
Ohio Regiments arrive from Camp Denn1son,
Gen. Mcclellan will have 20 600 men, 5000
Of whom can be precipitated together u pon

One Of the most sozrowful men living is
General Lee, who is in command Of some OF
the rebel forces in Virginia There is report
that he ls 60 dissatik fed that he intends to re-
sign his command aud would like to be re-
celVed back in the United States array. We
doubt the truth OF the latter clause OF this
statement, but the former Is probable. Gem
eral Lee is the owner Of the Arlington prop
erty, NOW occupied by the Federal Geueral in
command In Virginia, ard his staff. We know
that MIS-. Lee has written several letters to an
officer of the staff, giving directions or making
requests about the preservation OF the prop
erty, as if she expected TO occupy it at some
day not distant. We know, also, that gea
tleman Of this city, coming from Virginia,
met General Lee, whom he knows well, at

SECESSION MADE EAsY-The Springfield
Republican says that if the new theory that
a State may so out when she pleases shall
obtain, its converse must also be correct,
and State which has once seeded may also
comeback when she pleases,or threaten to spill
'buckets-full of blood if denied the privilege.
So that 10y and by people will say, "Well,
how many States are there in to-dry?" "Is
South Carolina in to day ~ "No, but she is
coming in tomorrow to get an appropriation
for new railroad, and will 20 out again

BENEvoLENT.-At the time of the late

driver, Leander White, was drowned at Deer
Creek, Ell Dorado county. His friends, say.

collecting a fund, principally among stage
men, for the benefit of his widow, to assist
her to her former home in Genessee county
New York. The following collections have
been made: L. McLane, $3.50; Marysville,
SlS4 so; Jackson, S22; Sacramento, $500, so
total, $l,049 Out of this sum the funeral
expenses were paid.
