SUBrERANEAN WAsHoE.-Who can calcu.
late the probable extent of underground
Washoe one hundred or even fifty years
ence: Even now, one might wander for
hours through these lower plains, viewing
with wonder the fresh objects of interest
presenting themselves to our gaze at every
step and turn. The underground possess
ions of Virginia City are much more ex'
teusive than they are commonly supposed
by those who are not in the habit of fret
quenting the highways and byways. Wanl
dering through them, we find plains above
plains and still other plains below; cross
roads lanes and winding paths; hills hoI
lows, narrow gorges and open country. In
a few days no stranger will dare to take a
step in subteranean Washoe without a guide,
lest he wander off into its intricate mazes
and find himself hopeessly lost. To day
men are working far down underneath our
city underneath ours streets along which
huge quartz wagons are rolling and pack
trains passing; under our business houses
where trafcling crowds are congregsted;
under parlors where the quiet family circle
is gathered down, down, far down below
the sunny face, they are cutting roads and
lanes, hther and thither, all unconscious of
who or what is above them. Verify, we
have a city above city. Enterprise

From Fort Yuma.

by aprivate letter received from Fort Yu-
ma, dated April 30th we learn that at that
time there were at that point the following
companies from this part of the State: Com
pany E, Capt. Ford, Sacramento; company
Z Capt. Thayer Nevada county-of the 9th
Regiment; and company A. Capt. Willis,
Orov''e company G Capt. Green, Nevada;
company &, Capt. Roberts, Sacramento; com
pany d, Capt. GorIey; company f, Captain
Parvln, Sierra county--al OF the lst Cavalry
Regiment In addition to these Lieutenant
Chlnns Battery, u. s. A., Third Artillery,
was daily expected from Camp Wright, aud
companies A, b and G, Of the 5th Regiment
were with the a'lvarce guard of the force
which had gone into Arizona. Some cha'
grin was experienced at he capture Of Capt.
McCleave and his six men, in an attempt to
re capture whom Lieut. Barnett, of his COM
mand and fur men were killed. Had a
rapid forward movement upon Tucson by IA
single company been made at that time, It
was supposed that the place might have been
captured as il was then detenseless. Cap,
lures of rebels wele occasionally made, Lieut..
E. &. Baldwin, Of Go. =, lst Cavalry having
brought in three prisoners a day or two be-
fore the letter was written. At that writing
Lieut.. Colonels West and Eyre were on thei'
way to Tucson with ten companies of infantry
and cavalry, have just started to overtakt
them. Major Rigg was then in command a
Fort Yuma, and Col. Carleton had just ar
rived there-lhe remainder of the 18th ReQi
ment being expected to arrive, with Colonel
Bowie, very soon. Major Cout, of the 5lh
was also at Yuma, but expected to 90 on
toward New Mexico with reserve. The
health Of the troops was excellent, and all
hands were, of course, eager for a fray with

In honorable contrast to the position of

Cass approves of the Proclamation. Col.
F. A. Eastman, in letter to the editor of
the Chicago Tribune, details a converse
ton with the venerable Gen. Cass, which
we append:
al told Gen. Cass that had always
admired and supported him as a Democrat,
but perhaps he would not regard me as a
Democrat now, as l had pledged my sup
port to the present officers of the Govern
ment, and to all the war measures He
replied, You are right. The Government
is right. You young men must sustain it.
| Invited thus to continue the conversation,
l said: But 1 approve of the emancipa-
ton proclamation, and ALL The old pa
triot responded promptly, So do l. After
a few minutes spent in conversation upon
general topics, he came back to the Pro
olamation again. Heobseryed that whether
or not the President had the Constitutional
right TO declare the slaves free, the Presi-
dents friends did not strengthen the mea-
sure by claiming it to be Constitutional
/ 4 DO not deny he said, that there is that
in the Constitution to justify the act but
the circumstances of the country clearly

in the South; he only hoped it would prove
efeotual. He could not understand how
any old Democrat could have any sympa.

would not be permitted to have any posi-

From the SonQusEy tle8lste4-l
By the following special telegram from
Mansfield yesterday morning, we hear of
the arrest of two notorious sympathisers in
Stark county, for counseling resistance to
the draft. Others are likely to be made,
and no doubt ought to have been made be-
fore this. At crisis like the present, men
who counsel resistance to the draft who
excuse the rebels, and educate other men
to commit overt acts of treason, ought Ell
ther to 90 South where their sympathies
lead them, or be restrained, at least so far
as to compel them to observe an external
loyalty:
H.C JoHHsoS:-A. McGregor, editor of
the Stark County Democrat and man
named Reitzel, were arrested in Canton
Yesterday for counseling resistance to the
draft, and are now in Camp Mansfield
Other arrests are likely to be made. A de-
tachment Of 200 men of the l20th Regi-
ment are now in Stark county, arresting
the ringleaders and gathering up the de-
luded stragglers, about 100 of whom remain
behind. D.

The omccrs don,t Resign.

A Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune, says:
THAT army officers do net resign, how
ever much they may threaten to do so, it
did not need the reception given to the
Presidents Proclamation to prove. A cir
cumstance which occurred at Hilton Head
is illustrative of their temper. Some 25O
officers belonging to six regiments met one
night in secret session, and solemnly re-
solved that they would every man of them
resign-would insist upon resigning, if
General Hunter pursued his purpose of or
ganizing an African regiment. They de-
termined to tender their designations on
the day of the first battalion drill. The
day came. The battalion drill was order
ed and duly executed. The day closed
Two hundred and forty-nine officers had
not resigned. One officer had resigned
His resignation was promptly accepted.
He was heard of soon afterwards in Penn
sylvania soliciting another commission
from Governor Curtin"

An Immedlutc forward Movement

The Harper's Ferry correspondent Of
the New York Times says that the loyal
North will rejoice to learn that forward
movement has at length been determined
upon. Instead Of pitching their winter
tents upon the Maryland shore, as we had
begun to fear, content with having forced
the enemy across the Potomac, our army
has once more assumed the offensive, and
in a few days at the furtherest will be
marching down in Dixie.
For this change In the programme we
are mainly indebted to the President.
The only object of his recent visit to the
Upper Potomac was to hurry up matters.
Such, the correspondent says, he kao'0s to
be the case. We all hope the assurance
and prediction are correct.

The question Of employing colOred men
as soldiers is being faithfully and satisfac-
torily tried at New Orleans. These men
we're enrolled under the Confederate rule of
Governor Moore, but not put into the field
until the arrival Of General Butler. And the
fact that these men are thus cOnfded in by
the FedraI authorities, is working revo-
luton in the condition Of the colored race.
Only few days ago, writes correspond

to Munsel White, one Of the Oldest and
wealthiest planters Of the parish of St.
Bernard, below the city, called to see Cen
eral Shepley, and asked, as citiEens, for an
audience Of the Governor Of the State.
The request was granted, and these men
informed the General that they came for
freedom; they said their fellOw-servants
in other places were all leaving their mas-

their condition, but that it was not clear

they did not intend TO labor much if they
could help it without remuneration, and
they concluded their requests and protests
BY asking that if they remained Peaceably
al home, they might have fair wages Sc
cured to them for their services. General
Shepley treated the matter with great con-
sideration, and after cOnferring with Gen
eraI Butler, permission was granted to
these men to make terms with their mas
ters, who consented to have partner in
the transaction, and these men have gone
to work, rot az slqVes, but as hired men.

The Greatest AdTenEnrer OF our day---A
uv6-Yankee IN China.


live Yankee IN China.
A shanghae (China) correspondent of
the New York Herald, writing on July 2oth,
gives a lively sketch of the course of one
Of the greatest adventurers Of modern
times. and one whose history reads like
the Arabian Nights. He says that two or
three years ago, a cOasting vessel arrived
at shanghae, having mate named Fred
erick Ward, who was green, bOyish look
ing fellow, with q tough, hardy cOnsti-
tuition, and an eye that showed him to
have plenty Of determination and pluck.
BE had in his possession suit of clothes,
and six Mexican dollars. He is now, at
moderate estimate, worth as many hun
dred thousand, and all earned by his ad-
venturous spirit. He had been in Mica
ragua with Walker, and in the Crimea, and
had seen the world generally. At the time
of his arrival at shanghae, the country
was in rebellion, as indeed it has been
from time immemorial. The Government
held shanghae and the rebels held Soon
kong, a city thirty miles up the Norsung
river. strongly walled and fortified,
ard having deep ditch filled with
water outside the walls. The Gov
ernment was fearful that the rebels would
come down from sOonkOng some fine morn
ing and capture shanghae. The imperial
lists could not take the latter city, but they
wanted it taken and would pay hand
some price for having the job done. Ward
offered to take the contract for forty thou
sand taels. His offer was accepted and il
a few days he had taken the city with
/ Chinese force which he had drilled for thu
/ PURPOSE. Then he wanted TO take another
city, few miles beyond and permission
was given him. He went as far as tn,
walls and fell, shot in three places. H
soon recovered and found him self lfpromote'
to Chinese Colonelship and made Man
DARN. He then married a Chinese wifi
and this still further increased the conf
dence Of the Government in him. Th'
I
English officers at Shanghae became
Jealous Of him and having invited him OF
board one Of their vessels, put him in iron
as an American. He was let of on show
ing that he was Chinese snbject and at
forwards won the respect and friendshi
of the English and French officers. The
/ - IL -, 49,, - n f,vrinua demon
stration against shanghae Wardrepuise
them handsomely with his Chinese arm
and forthwith he was promoted to Gen
eral and made a still higher Mandarin
His next offer is to put down the entir
Chinese rebellion for which he wants te
millions of dollars and has prospect
getting it. If this isn't Yankee enterPris
and audacity, what would be

The AdmIpisrrarIon not FniIuro.

The New York Post reviews the events
and achievements for the year, and closes
as follows:
nThe Administration has not " been a
failure It has been a grand and bril-
liant success. History will so account II.
We challenge the annals Of the past to fur
nish an example Of equal achievement in
the same time and under the stupendous
difficulties. The American people are prov
ing that they so regard it by the generous
and enthusiastic loyalty with which they
are putting their treasure and blood at its
disposal. And it remains only for the
President to push forward our armies at
once upon the rebels; to continue to move
upon the enemys works." to give rein TO
the enterprise, the skill, the daring, and
the patriotic determination which have
been developed and trained during the past
year of war, to speedily make an end Of
the gigantic iniquity, and the name oil
Abraham Lincoln will stand on the future
annals of his country illustrated by re-
nown as pure and undying as that Of
