DETECTION or JERE CLEMENs-The Ata-
lanta (Ga.) Commonwealth thus heral1s the
detection Of Jere Clemens:
The numerous admirers of the gifted Ala,
bamian (Jere Clemens) will learn with feelings
of the deepest regret that he has forsaken the
Confederate cause and given in his allegiance
to the Lincoln Government. He was in Hunts
vile at the time of its capture by the Yankees,
and made no effort to escape. Only few weeks
after their arrival ne became very intimate with
the commanding General, and now goes about
the streets representing the Southern cause IN
its worst light, and endeavoring TO persuade all
his friends to Join with the Federal cause. So
far he has only found four OF the citizens Of
Huntsville who were so destitute OF principle
and honor as to link their destiny with the de-
stroyer of our homes and our peace. This
comes from source entitled to the highest
credit.
Clemens opposed the disnnion movement
until the Alabama convention passed the
secession ordinance, when be acQuiesced, or
pretended to acqniesce, in the decision OF
bis State; but be was never rebel at heart
aud has probably improved the first coca
sion, when he conld do 50 safely, to avow
his Union sentiments.

Party OrRanIratIoms.

The efforts of the self.appOiuted "Union
Administration" papers 10 break down the
Uuion Democratic organization In this
State, is nearly as tratOrOus as open and
avowed secession, aud a great deal mead
er. Their persistent misrepI esentaIions Of
the principles of the Union Democracy, is
calculated to mslead the people Of other
States, aud if Col. Stevenson shOuld be
elected, as there is now prospect he will be,
the impression will go forth that MAORI
ty of our people are disloyal to the Gov
ernment. The assertion 80 frequently
made, that there can be but two parties
during the war-loyalists aud Gisloyalisls-
may lie true in one sense; but where three
fourths of the voters are loyal to the core,
it does not follow that they must all act IN
one political organization in order to
prove their loyalty. If the voters of Cali
fornia were nearly evenly divided between
Unionists and disunonists, as is The case in
some Of the border slave States, there
would be o necessity for the loynl voters
to unite, and such union would then be
easily brought abOnt. But in free coun-
try three fOurihs of the voters cannot act
harmoniously in one party; if there are no
principles to divide them they will divide
on men. The Union Democracy of Cali
fornia, in maintaining their organization,
as matters now stand, are acting from
purely patriotic and unsellish motives. De
nounceG alike by secessionists and the tribe
Of unprincipIed politicians that are taking
advantage of the Union sentiment to attain
position, they stand immoVably by their
principes-sustaiui0g all acts of the Ad-
ministraiion that they believe to be right,
and ready, if need be, to put forth their
strength to restrain the abuse Of power.

FIGHT WITH INDGANs.--A correspondent
of the Union, writing from Tucson, Arizona,
July 9th, gives the particulars of skir'
mish between detachment of the First In
fantry and about hundred Apaches, near
Apache Pass, on the 18th ult. Two men
we're killed-C. NJ. O'Brien, of Company G,
aud John Barr, of Company E. The former,
we presume, was Charles M. O'Brien, lst
Sergeant of Capt. Greene's company, which
was recruited in this county. O'Brien for
merly worked at WOrrelPs mill, and was
one of the best men in the company. His
object in enlisting was to go to Texas,
where he had heard his father had been
taken prisoner on account of his Union SEN
timents.

EASTERN NEWS.

Adyices from the seat of war received on
Sunday and yesterday, are of considerable
interest. McClelau's forces are moving
down the peninsula, and the attempt to
capture Richmond by way of James river
has evidently been abandoned. The des.
tination of his forces is quite puzzle to
the military critics of the press, but it is
coniectured that be will form junction
with Burnside and Pope, and advance on
Richmond from the north. The divisions
of Pope's corps are following Jackson to-
wards Gordonsville, where it is expected
another battle will be fought. The reports
derived from the Grenada formerly Mem
phis) Appeal, that the Federas had been
defeated at Cumberland Gap, losing 1000
prisoners turns out to be false. The rebels
we're repulsed and driven back with great
loss. The attempt of Breckenridge to re-
capture Baton Rouge was signal failure;
and the reported destl uction of the rebel
iron clad steamer Arkansas is confirmed. In
Missouri, the guerrilla warfare appears to
be nearly at an end-the most of the des-
peradoes having been scattered. captured
or killed. Coils. COrCoran and Wilcox, and
three hundred other officers, have been ex-
changed.
By the Marysville papers OF this morning
We have some additional particulars of the
repuse of the rebels at Baton Rouge. The
fight occurred on The edge of The town, as
Gen. Williams was unwilling to expose the
women aud children, and lasted four hours
The Federals lost 25O killed; the enemy's
lOss is reported as immense. Gen. Williams
was killed by rife ball. He had three
horses shot under him before be was killed.
Breckenridge lost bis right arm by cannon
ball. The Federals captured large num-
Der of prisoners and three guns.

EXCITING DIsCUssION.-There was an ex-
citing discussion at Placerville last Satur-
day night, between Benz. r. NickersOn, an
independent candidate for the Assembly,
and Thomas Fitch jr., one of the Republi-
can purity candidates. 1t seems that Nick.
erson was rival of Fitch for the candidacy,
but not liking The manner in which the
Convention was conducted, he announced
himself as all independent candidate, and is
now stamping the county in opposition to
Fitch. In his speech on Saturday night, he
raked up some of Fitch's antecedents,
showing him to be anything but model of
purity. Fitch answered, admitting that he
had been indicted for obtaining goods un-
der false pretenses in Missouri, was expelled
from Masonic lodge, and endeavored to
Justify his own rascalities by charging ras-
cally acts against Nickerson. There was
much excitement during the discussion, and
though Fitch seemed to have the support of
the rowdles, the raking up of his autece-
dents will be likely TO have damaging eff
feet on his chances Of election.

THE CORRUPTION CAsE.-The disclosure, S
made in the San Francisco Union-fus.on
Convention, briefly narrated in our dispatch
of Saturday, are sad commentary u on
the morality of the leaders [ f the self-styl d
"UniOn" party. This was the party, we
were told, that was to have only the single
object in view Of sus aiming the cause of the
Government. and before it is fairly organ-
lied we find its leaders bribing and receiv.
iog bribes. The exposure in the COnven-
tiOn, it is thought, will materially injure
the chances of Park for The U. S. Senate,
and the fision candidates for the Legisla
ture, from that city, will probably be divi
ded between Conness and Phelps.

ing, and brings the gratifying intelligence
that the twenty three persons who were on
the "missing boat" of the Golden Gate,
arc saved. Among them were Amos Clark,
aud E. T. Clark, of North San Juan, and s.
2. Storm, formerly resident of this coun-
ty. The boat drifted ninety miles south
of MarzaniIo, when she was beached, and
the passengers returned to that port by
land, suffering great bardships. The Mexi-
cOn people on the coast, with whom they
came in contact, treated them with great
hospitality, aud at COlma they were turn'
ished with horses to ride to Manzanillo.

STATE Prison MATTERs.-There are now
575 convicts in the State Prison, three Ofwhom
are women: Ida Vanard, Hannah Garvin, and
Anne Thornton. Twenty-Five of the escapes are
still at large but of these, five are supposed to
have been mortally wounded during the late
outbreak and are probably dead. From all ac-
counts, things are not in avery satisfactory con-
dition at San Quentin, in many respects.

MIsREPRESENTAT San Francis
CO Evening Journal, of Saturday. states
that the work of "recOnstructing' the Dem
ocratc party 10 this State "goes bravely
on" aud "that the people may see to what
this reconstruction is likely to lead" ii
publishes the resolutions introduced in the
Breckinridge Convention 10 this county,
and asserts that they were adopted by a
Convention of "recoDstructionists." The
most ultra secesh paper Of the State would
hardly be guilty of such glaring and
wicked perversion Of truth. There has new.
er been a "reconstruction" Convention
held in this county, nor one that could with
any reason be designated by such term;
any Convention. They were introduced in
the Breckenridge Convention of Nevada,
and after lengthy debate were defeated
seventeen delegates voting for them, and
thirty-seven against them.
There are doubtless few men in this
county besides the seventeen" who would
favor such platform, but their numbers
are too few to be dangerous, or to be taken
into account in political combinations. 1t
is true, the resolutions are similar in senti
ment to those adopted by the Breckenridge
State Convention last year, and re.endoIs-
ed this year; but sc are satisfied large
proportion of those who voted for McCon.
nell never read the resolutions, aud had no
idea of the platform they were supporting.

Democracy.

The Democratic Convention which nomina-
ted a man for Governor of Connecticut refused
10 notice Burnside's rictories, news ofwhich came
during its sitting Their candidate was de-
feated by 5000 votes. These are some of the
men who, in connection with Bennett of the
New York Herdld. were to divide the North
upon the question of resistance to rebellion,
were TO separate New York city from the
State and make it an independent City in the
interest of the South, and who werc-in re-
muneration for these noble acts-to enjoy the
trade and friendship of the chyalrc and high
minded Southrons But, finding that not
all Of those who had followed in the path of
Breckenridge would contenancc open rebellion
in the South, they now seek to throw cold
water upon every enthusiastic demonstration
and weaken the Government BY Withholding
their approval Of its necessary measures.

New Orleans Taken.

The latest reports confirm the fall Of New
Orleans. 1t was one of the lew loyal cities of
the South at the commencement of the war,
and had loyal men who dared to express their
contempt for the Contederates and the Con-
federate Government, and who prophecicd for
it a short life, among whom were the editors
of the True Deta. The city was soon put uu-
der the heel Davis despotism, when the Union
feeling was subducd but not quenchsd. During
the past year occasional words ofloyalty have
been sent northward, and now we hope that
its capture will result in peaceful yielding
to the Government. New Orleans, ewing to
its peculiar situation has been more intimate
ly connected with the North than any other
Of the Southern cities, end for this reason its
capture is Of special Importance. Nothing OF
detail has yet been received in reference to it.

Arrest OF Ex-sect'y Cameron.

The attempts of Il part of the old Brcckin-
ridge party TO embaIrass the Government,
harrass its officers, and breed discomfort among
the people, are not whitlesS reasonable than
the efforts of those under arms in thc South
The last move Of this league is the arrest OF
Simon Cameron for imp'isoning, in Fort La
fayette, Pierce Butler, while he Cameron was
Secretary Of War. The object is not merely
to give Butler satisfaction, but is the com
mencement Of series of arrests for parallel
proceedings on the part of officers of the Gov
ernmcLt Mr.. Jefferson said, "to obey the
laws is a duty, bat not the highest duty
which is to save the country. 1t may often
be- as it was at the commencement Of our diff
tcultieS, the duty Of officers to oyerstep the
bounds of the law and to a great measure
'.take the law in their own hands, Men in
Office, acting conScentiously and with the
best light they have, ought to be protected
against personal consequences, when they go
beyond the strict letter of the law to accom-
plish good results. The organs Of the dough-
face ilk are jubilant at the prospect of trouble
to loyal men but Congress, by a special act,
it is presumed will protect the men who. in
their zeal for the country's good, have made
themselves liable to arrest and fine under n
law designed fer peace and not for war. Our
statute books are full of acts of indemnity
passed in iavor of officials in these circum-
stances as, for example, the act Of refundng
to Gen, jackson the amount exacted from him
as fine 10y judicial functionary at New Or
leans. President Lincoln has assured Mr..
Cameron that he will be sustained by the
Government.
This Pierce Butler is the mar who Dragged
so much about his great sale of cattle some
four years since. He had come into posses
sion Of some 400 slaves and in order to change
them into money, he made a great sale
separating the husband from the wife and the
young child from its mother, the sale being
distinguished for its entire disregard of all
the best feelings of humanity With this
blood stained money he came North to his
Philadelphia home to gloat over his wicked
ness and brow-beat honest men. Such is a
type Of the antecedentS of this miserable sla.
very. worshiping, Pennsylvania dough-face
who now presumes upon the exigencies of the
country. There are many editors throughout
the North giving consolation to this patriot
