TELEGRAPH NEws-Ihe latest news from the East
ern States and from the seat Of war. is now found in
the California weeklies, which publish very full tele-
graphic summaries and Pony Express letters. The
.4ita and Bulletin furnish the fullest news. Mr..
Simonton, the editor Of the latter paper, is in Wash
ingt0n, and his letters in that paper, are very inter
esting. SfI, We find the New York and other East
ern weeklies are as necessary Is ever they were, to
furnish a full history Of the changes in current events
in America and Europe. Our readers should be well
supplied with both CaIiiornia and New York papers,
if they wish to keep posted up on the war question.
N,vAL.-The [. 5. steam ship Lancaster, bearing
the flag Of Commodore Montgomery, commanding the
Pacific Squadron, sailed from Panama April 18th for
these islands. She has probably gone into Hilo, and
the steamer may report her there Oh her arrival next
Sunday. The Lancaster is 8 first class steam-sloop,
Of 23GO tons register, carrying - guns. 1t is said
that she draws - or % feet Of water; in which case,
she will not be able to enter our harbor. From this
port It IS expected that she viii sail for San Francisco.

The reasonable proclamation of Gov Jack
son, of Missouri, has excited universal indig-
nation among the true friends of the Union
We hope the general government will lose no
time in putting him in a condition to pull
hemp to some purpose. The heauthorites should
not wait for him to collect his troops for the
purpose of expelling the U. S. forces from
Missouri, but should catch him and hang him
with the utmost expedition. We arc glad
that our Iowa boys are to have hand in
teaching him what traitor may expect
We have full confidence in the integrity of
the people of Missouri. A majority of them
love the Union, and will never consent to be
dragged out Of it. We received, yesterday, a
letter from Jefferson City, the hot-bcd of Sc
cession, from which the following is an ex-
tract
1--WE may have civil war, but can assure
you that the people of the State will as surely
triumph over treason, as that the sun Shines
The most devoted Union men in the State are
the largest slave owners and the most foul
mouthed traitors are northern men with south
ern principles, who have no interest in slave
property whatever

vw A gentleman recently arrived at New
York from South Carolina, while speaking of
the danger of negroinsurrections in that State,
related the following:
A curious practice of the negroes in some
portions of the State is related In some dis
tricts they would get permission now and
then to have funeral. According to their
custom they went in the night, and taking a
monstrous big coffin would bury it in the
woods. On one occasion the suspicion Of a
patrol-man became aroused and he said to the
party, "This must have been mighty big
nigger that died last night" He proceeded
to make an examination, when it was found
that the long, ghostly box contained arms
The negroes belonging to one man of the
highest rank in the State On another occa-
sion, gentleman meeting negro with a
musket in his hand, said, "Where did you get
that gun? You lay that gun down." The ne.
gro replied evasively, "Well got it," and
added in sulky, low tone, "Wewill use guns
as we'll as you by-and-by." The negro was
shot dead moment after these words fell
from his lips.

said Napoleon, 81 ought to have been victori-
Gus. The chances were hundred to one in
my favor. But Ney, the bravest of the brave
at the head of 1000 Frenchmen, suffered
himself to be delayed whole day by some
thousand of Nassau troops. Had it not been
for his inexplicable inactivity, the English ar
my would have been taken taagramte delictu
and annihilated without striking blow
Grouchy, with 10000 men, suffered Bulow
and Butcher to escape him, and finally, a
heavy shower of rain made the ground SC
soft that it was impossible to commence the
attack at daybreak. Had l been able to COM
mence early, Wellington's army would have
been trodden down in the defiles of the forest
before the Prussians could have had time to

Hon. JOSEPH HoLT.-Hon. Joseph Holt,
late Secretary of War, has written lengthy
letter to friend at Louisville in which he re-
iterates, with renewed emphasis the Union
sentiments which he had occasion to express
during his brief official term, and declares his
undisguised delight at the steadfast adher-
ance of his State, Kentucky, to the Union.
The letter is impressive and eloquent, and
gives fresh proof of the genius which its au-
thor has more than once exhibited during the
Last fnU vearc
