TUESDAY EVENING, JULY l6, 1861.

Pony NEws.-The Pony intelligence pub
Fished in another column, from our "extra''
Of this morning, is of considerable import
anee. The Presidents message was not re-
ceived in full, but from the synopsis given,
IL appears be has recommended the adop-
ton of vigorous measures for putting down
the insurrection. He asks fer four hundred
thousand volunteers and an appropriation
of four hundred millions of dollars, which
indicates that the policy of the administra-
ton Is to crush at once all armed opposi.
ton to the Government 10 the seeded
States. II Congress approves of this policy,
the men and money asked for will of course
be voted. By this arrival, we have further
particulars OF the fight between troops un-
der Gen. Patterson aud the secession forces
near Marsinsburg, Va.y abd a report that
another fight had taken place on the Sth.
The troops under Patterson, il appears, are
moving southwark. With this exception,
no important movements of troops are re-.
ported. II was expected great battle
would take place last week, but this is per-
hsps mere suppositiOn of newspaper re-
porters. Gen. Scott will doubtless wait
uatil be ascertains the temper Of Congress
before making al offensive demonstration
% grand scale. The report that Gov.
Jackson had secretly convened the Missouri
Legislature and passed secession Ordi
nance, is in keeping with the acts of that
notorious individual, but the report is prob.
ably started as joke.

FImnnclnI PropOsItIOms.

Washington letter writer's state that Sec
retary Chase is now engaged in maturing
plans for raising means to carry on the war.
Three propositions will be presented TO
Congress by the Treasury Department.
The first and most popular, is national
loan at seven and three tenths per cent. in
terest, redeemable in three years, and issued
in bonds of small denominations. This rate
Of interest will render the calculations Of
the simplest character. Thus, the interest
on fifty dollar bond would amount to one
cent day; one hundred dollar bond two
cents, and so on. Another proposition is
TO obtain foreign loan, which it is believ.
per cent. interest and third plan is to is
sue treasury notes of small denomination,
receivable for Government dues, aud draw
ing interest at about half the rate of the
first named plan. These notes, it is thou ehl
would enter largely into the circulation Of
the country. The amount Of money that
will be required TO carry on the Govern
ment for the next year, in addition TO the
ordinary revenue, is variously estimated at
from one hundred and City TO three hun
dred millions OF dollars. The amount, of
course. will depend much upon the plan
adopted for putting down the rebellion.
Ii it is the intention Of the Government to
march troops uto the seeded States aud
hold them in suljeclion 10y force, probably
not less than three hundred millions will be
required the Irst year but if it is intended
TO merely act on the defensive, keeping the
Southern ports blOckaded, and sufficient
force in the field to protect the Capital and
the Union men 10 the Border States, per-
haps One-third of that amount will be SUM-
cient.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-07-16
LATE EASTERN ITEMS.

A fight took place near Martinsburg, Va, on
the I'd Of July, between the first Wisconsin and
the eleventh Pennsylvania regiments under
Gen. Patterson, and large body of secession
lists. The latter were routed with heavy loss
leaving several dead and wounded on the field
Three Government troops were killed and ten
wounded. The rebels were commanded by Col
Jackson, and had four guns.
A dispatch from Washington, July I'd, says
that all the rebel troops at Manassas Junction
with the exception of three regiments, had
moved forward under Beauregard, in the di-
rection Of Fairfax Court House, and Alexan-
dria.
A fight occurred near Sciota, Mo-, July lst,
between so Home Guards and $50 secessionists
The latter we're routed with the loss of one man
mortally wounded.
A special correspondent of the London Times
writing from New Orleans, May oath, says it is
impossible to resist the conviction that the
Southern Confederacy can only be conquered
by means as irresistible as those which subju-
nation to resist as long as they can command a
man or dollar.
The loyal citizens of Baltimore have prepared
a splendid silk regimental flag, which was to
have been presented to the Massachusetts sixth
regiment, on the 4th of July. That is the
regiment that was attacked by the mob on Pratt
street, on the 10Th of April last.
The contest for Speaker of the House is mar
rewed down between Blair of Missouri, and
Grow, of Pennsylvania. The Republicans, it
is stated, have determined not to hold any
caucus.
The Baltimore Police Commissioners, with
the exception of the Mayor, were arrested July
lst, by order Of Gen. Banks, and sent to Fort
McHenry. 1t is said that plot was discovered
of an intended outbreak.
The Richmond papers state that an agent Of
the French Government is buying tobacco in
that market.
1t is reported that the Confederate Govern
ment has abandoned the idea of taking Fort
Pickens, and withdrawn a considerable portion
Of their force from that point.
A letter fropa Fort Pickens announces the
capture of the priyateer w. II. Webb, by the
U. S. steamer Niagara, while in the act of cap
turing brig. The Niagara also captured the
British bark Etna, with a cargo of rifed cannon
for the rebels at Pensacola.
The Government has determined to employ
the troops captured in Texas, who were COM
pelied to take an oath not to fight against the
Southern Confederacy, on duty that will not
violate their oath.

The CROPS IN YOLO.-The Knights Lam
ding News says the greater portion of the
grain crop of YOlO county has been cut.
stacked aud is ready for threshiug and
sacking. The wheat crop. which last year
averaged thirty-nine bushels to the acre,
has this season fallen of to about twenty
i've bushels. In quality the wheat will av-
erage very even, the grain being somewhat
VmalIer and less plump than last year, caused
by the extreme dry weather during the lat
ter part Of April and the first of May, yet
experienced judges say it will make as good
quality of -four as ever before. The yield of
barley is somewhat larger than that of
wheat, aud will probably go about thirty
bushels to the acre.

FIRES AT SACRAMENTO.--Two destructive

afternoon, and some ten or twelve from
