A YoUNG HER0.-A letter from Illinois
mmOrlaIizes "a Juvenile hero-a drummer
in our Western army:
A little boy, only twelve years old, whose
mother resided in Woodburn, returned last
week from Pittsburg Landing. He was drum
mer in company of which his father was Lieu
tenant. His name is Charley Bliss. am we'll
acquainted with the family, having been their
physician. This boy went through the whole
of the Doneson fight, and was engaged during
the two days Of that at Pittsburg. His father
was wounded in three places, while he (the SOM
had his clothes pierced with bullets, and blood
once drawn from above the knees. His drum
was shot away. The little fellows gear looked
very rusty, and his girlish face was tanned as
dark as chocolate. His Colonel sent him home
with four wounded men by whom he had re-
mained and to whom he carried water on
the field when the battle ragged the hottest. They
say he never finched. At Donelson he got hold
of gun, dropped by a rebel, and fired twenty
rounds himself, by borrowing cartridges from
the soldiers about him. tried to get him to
stay with us over night, promising to take him
home in my carriage early the next morning
But no. he said he preferred walking three or
four miles in the mud and rain, after dark, for
he wanted to see his mother that night. His
father was left behind in hospital

EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS the prin-
ted catalogues Of the University Of the Pacific
at Santa Clara, for the past collegiate year, we
gather the following facts and figures: The Rev.
i. Bannister, D. d., is President of the Insti-
tuition, who is assisted by eight professors and
teachers in the Uhder. graduate departments.
The students in the preparatory and collegiate
departments number 1903. The Female Cole
giate Institute shows AZ pupils. Of medical
students there are u. Total III. From this
showing it would appear that the institution is
essentially aiding the cause Of liberal learning
in our State.

HUNTER's BLACK BRIgADE.-In regard to
Hunters negro brigade. letter from Hill.
ton Head. May 10th. 10 the New York Her.
aid. says:
the enlisting Of negroes as soldiers, with the
pay and rations Of volunteers. is going on in
this district with no great success. A compa
nv Of contrabands was formed here three or
four weeks since, and numbered, at one time,
when the intensity and zeal of the 'innocents"
eliminated. nearly one hundred and fifty men.
Since then the contrabandss courage, like that
Of Bob Acres, has oozed out of their fingers
ends, and the company could scarcely turn out
a corporal guard. The contrabands have no
heart for the business, when they reflect upon
the possibility of being punctured by cold steel,
or perforated by bullets, with the additional
risk of shutting off this mortal coil through the
simple and expeditions aid of hangman's s
moose; and their fears, which increase in the
same ratio that they reflect and inwardly di-
gest are rapidly changing their anxiety to take
up arms to a deep-seated disincination to place
themselves in positions of danger. They are
fond of the "pOmp and circumstances Of war,
but prefer to enjoy it under more favorable
auspices than those likely to be afforded them
in this department. So the experiment is not
likely to prove a brilliant success. There arc
enough arms here now to arm all the contra
bands in the department: but it is exceedingly
questionable whether they will ever be placed
in their hands. But we shall see what we shall
see.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-07-03

RATES OF INTEREsT.-It appears that trea-
sure is accumulating in this city at the rate Of
a million dollars month, and that during the
next four months the rate of increase will be
much greater The effect Of this must neces-
sarily be to reduce the rates of interest-in
fact such is the effect already produced to
great extent. Low rates Of interest will enable
persons to build manufactures, railroads. ca
nails and other much needed works Of improve
ment adding to the prosperity Of the State,a and
furnishing employment to the population. At
the rate Of increase Of treasure prevalent dur.
ing the past three months, there will be in Cal
ifornia, at the end Of :he year, at least $l2,-
OOO, 900 in cash more than there was tits COM
mencement-enough to build and stock a rail-
road from San Francisco to Folsom via Stock
ton. Such an accumulation of treasure would
naturally diminish the relative vaue Of gold,
and enhance the value Of property and labor
