Summary of Eastern News

Summary of Eastern News.
The news from the East during the past
week has been highly important. The rebels
evacuated Coriaih. under another Bull Ran"
panic, as they were cut of by cavalry and
their trains captured. For miles the ground
was s,rewed with abandoned utensils and mu-
nitions of war They fell back under the
pressure of Halleck's advance. They should
have known that Gen. Prices advent would
have been followed by evacuation.
A portion Of McClellan's army has achieved
a splendid victory over the rebels near Rich

their return they encountered a large Federal
force, under Shields and Fremont. and at last

Yankees, 10 bait a trap for rebel robbers and

Memphis is now open for the occupation Of
the Government troops. Vieksburg, Missls-
sippi, has been captured by the Federal gun
boats.

presence.

in the South. the Democracy of the North

MURDER IN SHASTA CoUyrY.-A man nam.
ed James Raglan was murdered in the Bald
Hills, near Shasta, on Saturday last, by Indi-
ans, and was found with his throat cut and
scalped. 1t is said Raglan was riding through
the Bald Hills on Tuesday last, when he came
across the dead body of squaw, and saw some
Indians at distance, whom he brought 10 the
dead body; they thereupon accused him of
killing her and would have killed him on the
spot had not his brother rode up al the time
and prevented them.

An Understandable Position.

On the 5ih of April last, the RECORD con-
tanned the resolutions adopted by the Rhode
Island Democratic State Convention. We
then indorsed them as a proper platform for
the times These resolutions have since been
indorsed BY most of the Democratic press of
the Stately all, indeed, whose Endorsement
is essential to their adoption by the Democrat
ic party Of California. Taking firm and com
prehensiye grounds in favor Of the Constitution
and the Union, they yield that support to the
Government necessary for maintaining the 81
premacy of the Federal Constitution and laws.
Those who would see the American Govern
ment triumphantly sustained in the present
great crisis in which it has been involved BY
sectional parties, can give the Rhode Island
resolutions cordial support. 1t is only those
who have sectional aims to accomplish, who
can offer political opposition to them.
We shall re-publish these resolutions in our
next issue. and urge their adoption By the
Democratic State Convention as a common
ground upon which all loyal men Democrats
and Republicans-can unite, as did the patri-
otic people of the gallant little State of Rhode
Island. 1t seems TO Us that those who object
to them, are unaterably opposed to the Con
stitution and the Union, as something not to
be tolerated unless their peculiar notions con-
cerning the domestic institutions of a portion
of the States, can be carried out
Believing that they take the ground upon
which the people of California, of whatever
political creed or persuasion, can patriotically
unite to sustain the principles of the American
Government, we shall earnestly labor for their
adoption, and for strict adherence thereto.

LIVE YANKEE.-The Live Yankee Ranch,
one mile below Oroyille, is becoming favorite

strawberries and cream flow like the milk and

vinced by giving him call. May his genera

A FACT THAT OUGHr TO BE REMEMBERED
Those papers of California advocating the re-
bel Breckenridge party, before demanding mu-
tual concessions of the Democracy, should
remember that it was by no sanction of the
Democratic party, that they, constituting d
small minority, seeded from, and rebelled
against the Democratic National Convention
at Charleston, in 1860. In no other State
have those rebels demanded concessions from
the Democracy, but have quietly abandoned
their rebellious attitude. What would the
Democratic organization be worth, could sixty
tritiers rebel, and control and change the poll
cy and principles of the party, in spite of the
two hundred and forty-three who remained in
National Council. The first step towards
righting wrong, is for those who are in the
wrong to place themselves right.
HEAR ANDY JoHSsoS.-In late speech of
Andy Johnsons, in Nashville, he made use of
the following language:
There are two parties in existence who
want dissolution. Slavery and Southern
contederacy is the hobby. Sumner wants TO
break up the Government and so do abolition
lists generally. They hold that if slavery sur
wives, the Union cannot endure Secessonists
argue that if the Union continues, slavery is
lost. Abolltionists want no compromise bat
they regard peaceable secession as a humbug.
The two occupy the same ground Why .
Abolitlonsm is dissolution dissolution is Sc
ceSsion one is the other. Both are striving
to accomplish the same object One thinks it
will destroy, the other save, slavery"
1t ie, porhap7, fortunate for Gov. Johnson
that he is not in California Should he make
such talk here, we think we might prove, by
the MaFysvile Appeal, and by the Express,
that he is no Union man at all. and never was.

the reduction of Fort Donelson was hailed IN

The rooms of the venerable Senator Critten-

LIFE IN MENDocINo.-A week or SO ago,
Sanford Taylor (colored) married Virginia
Joaquin Indian) in Mendocino county, and
some of the people over in that region thought
it it proper time to annoy the village bar
ber-for such was Sanford Taylor. The
Mendocino Herald says:
(" In number of instances his house has
been assailed with stones, sticks, brickbats
and mud, completely demolishing his front
windows, and doing other material damage.
Why such conduct has been INDUCED in
would be hard to tell. The marriage Of a
colored man with native Indian certainly
can be no more inappropriate than for white
men to live with squaws without marriage
as in hundreds of cases in this county. II
the objection is on account of the youthfulness
of the bride, let them express their indigna-
ton in another way. At the present time
there are not less than fifty men in this coun-
ty-white men, or men who profess to be
white-living in concubinage with squaws
from ten to fourteen years old. These are fit
subjects upon whom to express indignation.
The barber's bride is probably thirteen or

SENATOR NEsMIrn AND DIvoRcE.-This
Senator in recent debate on the -Retrench-
ment Bill said
The most direct travelled route from the
Pacific coast was not safe one for a man to
travel at all. His illustrious prepecessor
(Mr. Lane) when here as a delegate. drew
mileage to the amount of 50, 1854, and that
when Oregon was admitted and he was elec-
ted Senator, he drew s., ,964 again as mileage
for walking from the House of Representa-
tives to the Senate. Yet he (Nesmith)
thought that something was due to MEM
bers of the Pacific coast. He (Nesmith)
brought his family here last year, and it cost
him $1,000 to get to New York. lie might
be told that he could leave his wife at home.
That was some times inconvenient, and by
the laws of Oregon, if faman was absent a
year from his wife she was entitled to di-
vorce. Laughter. He was willing, ::howev-
er, to submit to anything, to any reduction,
to enable the Government to prosecute the
war. They could take away all his salary if
need be.

How PRrcE GERS ON.-The Napoleon,
Ark, Planter, gives the following explana-
ton of the method by which Price subsists

1t has been puzzle to many how Price,
without government resources, has managed
to subsist considerable army in a country
almost dcsolated. His system is not in the
:. regulations" He never complains of want
of transportation, whether he is about to
move ten miles or hundred miles, He pays
for what he takes in Missouri State scrip
His men go into the corn field, shuck the
corn, shell it, take it to the mill, and bring
it into camp ground into meal. Or should
they have no -four. they take the wheat from
the stack, thresh it themselves. or with horses
and oxen; and as With the corn, ask the aid
of the miller to reduce it to -four. Such an
army can go where they please in an agri-
cultural country.

The silver rain, the golden rain, the dripping,
dancing, laughing rain-
Stringing its pearls on the green leaf.s edge
Fringing with gems the brown rocks ledge,
Spinning veil for the WATERFALL
And building an amber-eolorcd wall;
Across the West where the sunbeams' fall,
The GENTLE rain in the shaded lane-the patterihe,

The noisy rain the marching rain, the rushing tread
of the heavy rain /!
Pouring its rivers from out the blue,
Down the grass where the daisies grew,
Darling in clouds of angry drops
Across the hills and green tree tops,
And kissing at last, in its giant glee,
The foaming lips of the great green sea;
The fieree wild rain the rotous rain, the bolster

The still night rain, the solemn rain, the soldier
step of the midnight rain!
With its measured beat on the roof o'cr head,
With its tidings sweet of the faithful dead,
Whispers from loves who are laid asleep,
Under the sod where the myrtles creep,
Cullng boquets from the sun-lit past,
Of flowers too sweet, too fair to last;

FORTY BRILLIANT COLUMNS,

finding in them a fascinating mental discipline
known only to those who rally to the Banner-sheet
of the Grand Army of American Intellect and Ge-
MUS
In commencing New Year, the proprietors of
the New York Mercury can only say, that it shall
be their aim to make their great family journal of
American literature, for 1862, more brilliant and
enchanting than ever, in its concentration of all
the worlds grandest and most beautiful speciaties
in healthful Romance, graceful poetry, elegant and
quaint Gossip, refining knowledge, sparkling HUI
NOR, and entertaining News-until, like love, it
"-rules the court, the camp, the bower"
as it already rules the happy domestic freside. -
The editorial tone and National departments of
the New York Mercury will continue true to that
lofty spirit of patriotism which has made it neces-
sity of the people since the War began, and kept it
in enthusiastic demand when other sheets were dy-
ing all around it for want ofpopular support
Already the largest literary journal in the world,
and famous as the focus of thousand brilliant lit
erary regulations, its programme for 1862 will be
magnificent beyond all precedent. The most ceie-
brated pens Of this country and Europe have been
secured in its service at outlay equal to the ex-
pense of more than national government in the
Old Word and its novelettes, continued stories,
for 1862 will be the most splendid triumphs of ele-
CANT Fiction ever published. To these. too, the
magic pencil of the greatest of American artists Mr.
Felix o. c. barley, will lend the aid Of pictorial
art.
