SNUBbING THE CIvlLIANs.-Ihe MlIwau-
kee News, in noticing the report that Senators
Wade, Chandler, Wilkinson and Irumbull hao
notified the Administration that their constitu-
ents expected an immediate advance OF the ar
my and a great battle, says :,
ut is our opinion that these worthless would
be much better employed at home saving wood
or en1isting men for the army, than in going
down to Washington to dictate military move
ments for the Administration. The Northwest
has entire confidence in General Mcclellan,
and our people are willing that he shall choose
his own time for ''rollng the ride Of war stead
ily southwark to the Gulf" We have already
experienced some of the delightful results OF u
similar interference in the Battle of Bull Run.
II is probable that three or four petty North
western Governors, who undertook to shoulder
the affairs of the nation about that time, were
more responsible for that disaster than Gree
lev, cor any other man." The pomposity and
oficiousness of this class of men is intolerable
The whole crowd Of second-rate Northwestern
Governors and Senators wouldn't make first
class board of aldermen for one of our smallest
Northwestern corporatirns, and of course are
utterly incapable of instructing the President
or General Mcclellan as to their military du-
ties. hs

tina. Major Riggs. 10 command q Camp
Wright, near Warmers ranch, has arrested
Dan ShoWpIter and seventeen Others, who
we're on their way toTexas. They are now
held as prisoners at Camp Wright. The Los

ter and his party: fEHD8
On the morning Of the 23d instant, party
of men, who have for some time past been en-
camped in the Monte, left there ON their way 70

number Of men in the party, but we nave oeeh
Informed. on what we consider reliable author
itv that they numbered all told, "A. Mr.. Dickey,
one OF the party, called on us last Saturday,
and informed US that the party was 10 strong;
that they had organized themselves into three
companies, by electing captain to eacn, as
follows; Capts. Dan Showalter, II. ID. Dlckey
and Wilson; that they were bound to Texas
Notwithstanding all that has been said TO the
contrary; that they we're going home TO theiI
families and friends, and as to what they would
do when they arrived was their own business
He informed us that he would not fight unless
forced to, Dan Showalter was their comman-
der-in-chief, We have also been informed that
these men were regularly enlisted soldiers IN
the Southern army, and were going with no
other purpose than to join the forces now IN
arms in the seeded States. We understand
that Mr.. Dickey was left behind at the Monte,
to ascertain il any movements were TO De mace

Message, which was transmitted to Congress
At noon. on the Sd inst, was ielegraphed
across the continent, and published in this
state on the morning of the 9th. Had it
not been for an interruption OF communl'
cation this side of Carson City, the docu'
menG would have appeared in the sacra'
mento Union the next morning after lis de-
livery to Congress. 1t was repeated ten
times 10 its transmission, and 1t would
hardly be possible for the operators to write

they were necessarily compelled to, without
making some errors, and to some extent
changing the language of the original doc

THE ELECTION IN BALTIMoRE.-ln rela-
ton to the recent election in Baltimore, the
American of that city says:
The election for Governor and State officers
yesterday passed off quietly and peaceably,
though there were quite number OF arrests
made on the charge of disloyalty, whichpreven-
ted full vote being cast by the opponents OF
the Union candidates. The intimidation caused
by these arrests is to be regretted, as there has
been no doubt at any time since the 18th OF
April that large majority Of the legal voters
Of the city are devoted to the preservation of
the Union. The intimidation at the April
election for the Legislature, which, sustained
by the authorities Of the city, effectively silenc-
ed the Union sentiment, led yesterday to a
desire for retaliation which was, to a consider
able extent, practiced in all the wards. The
Judges, however, we're men of standing and
character, and in most of the precincts oppose
ton Judges were in attendance. In all other
respects the election was fair one, the great
est care being taken everywhere to preventil ille-
gal voting. The whole vote cast was 2l ,069, of
which the Union candidates received an average
vote Of 1922. The whole vote Of the city at
the Presidential election in November last was
29,063. In July last the whole vote cast at the
Congressional election was24 ,094 1t will there
fore be seen that the Union candidates yester-
day received an undoubted majority ofthe legal
votes Of the city, which is estimated now not to
exceed26, 900

STATE HIsToRIoGRAPHER.-Joh S. Hittell,
Of San Francisco, long connected with the press
Of that city, gives notice through the Pioneer
Association, that he proposes to have intro
duced into the Legislature, at the coming ses-
sion, bill creating the Office Of Estate Histo-
riographer," naming himself as the occupant
thereof-the office to last one year, and the
pay to be six thousand dollars. His duty will
be to traverse the State and collect materials
for its history. He asks the Pioneer Associa-
ton to consider his proposition, and if it APP
prove thereof to say so.

POWDER WOUNDS Instead OF treating
powder wounds by the painful process Of dig
ging out each single grain Of powder with the
knife or needle, high medical authority, Prof.
Busch, recommends the fermentation of the
wounded parts with a strong decoction Of cor
rosive sublimate. This application produces no
infamation-some of the yesicles dry up and
others form scabs. On removing such scabs
the grains of powder are found to adhere to
their under surface, and underneath a newly
formed spotless skin is found.

FUTURE RECKONING WITH SPAIN The Liv

FUTURE RECKONING WITH SPAIN The Liv-
erpool Courier, in an article on the Spanish
Intervention in Mexico, says:
II ever the Americans recover their senses,
they will have a good many accounts to settle
with Spain, That Power has annexed the val
liable territory Of St. Domingo. She does not
conceal her claim to Mexico, ard prepares to
invade il. If ever the North and South awake
from their suicidal frenzy, they will tnd them
selves shut in completely on south and west
by Power which they detested and despised.
The only kingdom likely to profit by American
dissensions, is Spain, and she is precisely the
Power which the Americans considered most
contemplate. Even in this world, nations as
well as individuals are punished by the very be-
ines they have wronged. The Americans main
tanned slavery, and slavery has broken the Unions
they have insulted and dealt unfairly with
Spain, and now Spain laughs at their menacesi
and profits by their divisions.
The writer is perhaps not far wrong when
he nlimates that the Americans will some
day have good many accounts to settle
with Spain, which is now taking advantage
of our dissensions to regain a portion ol
her ancient American possessions. II II
not true, however, as asserted by the Eag'
lshman, that The American Government
has ever wrcnged, insulted, or dealt unfair
ly with Spain.

SILvER.-It is said that one reason why sill
yer is becoming so abundant in the circulation
of this State is that the Chinese, who have
heretofore sent their cash to China in that

both in coin and bar, the balance due us from
that country for parchases here made being
made up in silveE Ismilsancss against dEAiss.

Fastest TROTTING TIME ON RECoRD.-A
New York correspondent says:

New Ork correspondent says
Considerable rivalry has existed for some
time between Commodore Vanderbilt and Mr..
Bonner, ofthe Ledger, as to who should own the
fastest pair Of trotting horses. Mr.. Bonner has
always declined to match his horses, being OPP
posed to betting, On Monday last, however,
in order to satisfy himself Of their speed, he
drove his horses, Lady Palmer and Flatbush,
to his road wagon, in the extraordinary time of
2 27, the last quarter in "a seconds. This is
the fastest time ever made by any pair Of hor-
ses in the world, and consequently beats the
Commodore's team. Hiram Woodruff, Mr..
Whelan, Mr.. Hoagland, Mr.. Harker, and a
performance and timed it.

TUE LOSSES AT LEEsDURd,-A cores
pondent Of the New York World, who gives
the most ineligible account of the battle
ofLeesburg, or Ball's Bluff, which we have
seen published, states the total Federal loss
al 05s, The whole number engaged in
the tiight was 1858, and one half we're eth
er killed, wounded or taken prisouers'
While the Eight was going on, two scows
were employed 10 transporting troops from
Harrison's Island to the Virginia shore,
and carrying back the wounded. By this
means but few of the wounded fell into the
hands Of the enemy. A Richmond paper
published a few days after the battle, stated
that 65T prisoners had arrived at that place,
and more were coming. There are no
means Of ascertaining the exact number
killed, except through information obtain

Great News Expected.

Secretary Seward was serenaded AZ WASH
inoton on the evening Of December I'd, and
stated TO those present that within ten days
the country would rejoice at great news.
He would hardly have made such declar-
ation had be not beea aware that some i'm
portant movement was about to be under
taken. either by the army or the feet.
There are no indications Of a general ad'
vance of the army into Virginia, and If
sucb a movement was intended Seward
would have been tne last man to throw out
a hint by which the enemy could profit by
II. Possibly orders may have been Issued
for the feet to attack New Orleans, and for
the gun.boats to start down the Mississippi
at about the same time, Seven large iron
clad gun-bOats have been constructed near
st. Louis, and are now said TO be ready to
descend the river. With good pilots, plen'
~ Of whom can be had, these boats nigh
ruu the guantlet Of the batteries on shore
passing the most dangerous in the night
and reach New Orleans. While the gun
boats we're descending, the war vessels il
the Gulf could make the attempt to ascen'

ment would be "great news" and IT sue
ccssfuI the country would greatly "rejoice.'
