New YoRK ZoUAvEs.-The Washington
Star thus speaks of this irrepressible set OF
wild New Workers, who at last accounts
were engaged in executing their threat OF
revenge for the assassination Of Col. Els
worth:
The first inquiry made by the firemen, on
landing from the cars, was with grave Iaced
earnestness, "Can you tell us where JET. DAVIS
iss we're lookin' for him." EYES," said another
''we're bound to hang his scalp in the White
House before we 90 back" Another one, whose
massive underjaw and breadth of neck Indicated
him "some in plug muss," remarked that they
had expected to have arrived by way OF Balti-
more. "We would have come through Balti-
more like dose of salts" he added, With an
air of disappointment. One of them beckoned
to citizen, confidently, to his side, and in
ouired, "Is there any secession flags about
here" He was answered that secession bunt-
ing was an article that didnot prevail here. He
nodded and added, 81 only wanted to know.
On coming down the avenue, the Franklin
Fire Company passed them at sharp run, on
its way to fire, and the familiar apparatus
was saluted with such yell of recognition
along the entire line as must have fairly aston
ished the staid old reel. Somebody remarked
to one of the b'hoys that his hair was rather
short. "Oh, yes" was the reply, 1--WE all had
our heads filed before we left New ork." They
all looked like fighting boys; but one company
seems to have special prestige that way. "If
there's any mischief done, lay it on to company
68," seems to be pet phrase amongst the
b'hoys. Some of the Zouaves in emerging from
their quarters Columbian Market building)
this morning, disdaining the tedious, comon-
place mode of exit by the stairway, let them
selves down to the street from the third-story
by rope, like so many monkeys.

The "STARs AND STRIPES HUMBLED.''-
The brilliant" achievement of the South
Carolinians, by which some seven or eight
thousand men, with numerous batteries,
captured a fort containing seventy half
starved men, furnished the Governor of
South Carolina with an opportunity for
speech, of which the following is an ex-
tract:
We have humbled the flag of the United
States, and as long as have the honor to pre-
side as your Chief Magistrate so help me God
there is no power on this earth shall lower from
that fortress those flags, unless they be lowered
and trailed in a sea of blood. can here saw to
you it is the first time in the history of this
country that the Stars and Stripes have been
humbled. 1t has triumphed for seventy years,
but, to-day, on the 18th day of April It has
been humbled, and humbled before the glorious
little State of South Carolina. The Stars and
Stripes have been, lowered before your eyes this
day, but there are no flames that shall ever
lower the flag of South Carolina while have
the honor to preside as your Chief Magistrate.
And | pronounce here, before the civilized
world, your independence is baptized in blood,
your independence is won upon glorious bat
tie field, and you are free now and forever, in
defiance Of world in arms.
This speech, We presume. was made be-
fore it was given out that none of the rebel
soldiers were hurt, else the Governor would
hardly have announced that South Caroli-
mas independence was ''baptized in blood.v

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE II, 1861.

AMONG the news items by the last Pony,
was one to the effect that the rebel troops
evacuated Grafton on the 9th of May, aud
that the place was afterwards occupied by
the advance regiments of Ohio troops.
This statement is not very probable. The
Federal troops crossed the Ohio in different
divisions, at Wheeling and Parkersburg, on
the 26th. Those places are each about one
hundred miles west Of Grafton, and as the
railroad tracks had undoubtedly been pull
ed up. and the bridges destroyed, the troops
could not have advanced that far up to the
10th, the date of the dispatch. One dis
patch says Grafton was occupied by 5000
rebel troops; another puts the number al
$500, and says reinforcements were daily
arriving from Harpcr's Ferry. Grafton is
near two hundred miles west of Harper's
Ferry, but as the rebels have possession OF
the railroad they could rapidly concentrate
their whole force at either point.

TAKING Possession OF ARMs.-A dispatch
from Carson City says that Capt. Moore,
from Fort Churchill, took possession of the
arms stored at that place, on Friday last,
aud late at night went on to Silver City to
take the arms at that point. He acted un-
der orders from Gen. Sumner. The arms
taken, we presume, are those that were
loaned from the Benicia Arsenal, by Gen.
Clark, at the time of the Pah Ute war.
Sheriff Blackburn had possession of the a.ms
and gave them up when the order from
Gen. Sumner was presented.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-06-11

The Manassas Gap Junction, the point
said to be occupied by large body of rebel
troops, is about thirty-dve miles west of
Alexandria. aud being at the junction of
railroads leading south and west, is regard
ed as a place of great military importance
to them. 1t was believed that the Gov
ernment troops would soon advance to that
point with the view of cutting off the re-
treat of the rebel forces at Harper's Ferry.
Such movement would be likely to result
in a great battle, as the rebel troops have
been throwing up earthworks, and were
daily receiving reinforcements, evidently
with the view Of holding the position at all
hazards.

THE PONY NEWS.

The Pony, with dates from st. Louis to
May 3Olb, arrived at Fort Churchill on
Saturday evening. Contrary to general
expectation, nothing had transpired up to
that date of startling interest. Large
bodies of troops had crossed the Potomac,
at Washington, and we're engaged in forti-
flying their positions at Alexandra and Ar
linglOn Heights, bot there are no certain
indications of a movement southwark from
that direction. A large body of rebel for
ces we're stationed at Manassas Gap June
tion, where they had thrown up eartbwOrks,
with the intention doubtless of making
stand at that point.
Harper's Ferry is threatened from differ
ent points, and there seems to be every
prospect that the place will soon be in
possession of the Federal forces. The most
reliable accounts state that there are not
more than four thousand rebel troops there,
who are badly equipped and short OF pro
visions. Several regiments of Ohio troops
crossed into Western Virginia on the night
of May 10th, and occupied Parkersburg,
and according to one dispatch the rebels
evacuated Grafton, where they had cellect-
ed in considerable force, on the 9th. The
Ohio troops are under command of Gen.
McClellaud, who was on the march for
Havper's Ferry with fifteen thousand men.
1t was supposed that another force under
Gen. Keim would proceed from Chambers
burg another from the Relay House, and
still another from Washington, with the
view of cutting off the retreat Of the rebels.
Gen. johnson, the commander of the rebel
forces at Harper's Ferry, considered that
he had time to secure a retreat.
The forces at Fortress Monroe, under
Gen. Butler, number about 10000, and the
rebel force, at Norfolk and Portsmouth, is
variously estimated at from 1000 to 10000.
On the 9th, Gen. Butler formed an en-
trenched camp at Newport, near the mouth
Of James river, and about ten miles from
the fortress. This is supposed to be pre-
liminary movement for an advance on
Richmond.
A regiment of St. Louis volunteers, an
der command of Col. Shultner, has taken
possession of Bird Point, opposite Carlo, in
Missouri, which they will permanently hold.
They are supplied with Minnie rifles, provi-
sions for forty days, and two batteries were
to be sent them from Cairo. An Illinois
regiment had also been ordered to the same
point.

THE DOUGLAS VoTERs.-Mr. Sargent, in
speech on Saturday, before the Republi-
can County Convention, is reported to have
stated that many of the Douglas party had
joined the Republican ranks since the last
election and many are now coming over.
lie must have relied principally on bis i'm
agination for this information. We have
circulated good deal among the people
since the last election, and have yet to
learn of single man who voted for Doug
las last year that intends to vote the Re-
publican ticket next fall. 1t is possible
that two or three such changes may be found
in the county, but ws have not yet heard
of any. We have reason to believe that
the nominees of the Fourth of July Conven-
ton will receive the entire Douglas vote;
a fair proportion of the BellsEverett vote,
and will also be supported by quite num-
Der of those who voted for Breckenridge
and Lincoln.

Mono CoUNTY.-Mr. |. II. Mitchell arrived

tainly known when he left, he informs US
