JOHN SLIDRLL.-It seems that this man
whom the London Times noticed as being
worth, personally, about as much as one negro
he may be worth less, for aught we know
before he left the United States for Europe, sold
all his property in the South, amounting to two
or three hundred thousand dollars, andinvested
the whole in English and French securities.
Herein he plainly showed that he had no conf
dence in the rebellion; and yet such man
would lead his countrymen into this difficulty,
and ruin the fortunes of thousands of men,
expects to return home, and in fact he would
not dare to do so. He would not dare to show
his face againin Louisiana, to meet the scorn-
full and vindictive gaze of people whom he
has deceived and abused. He has managed
with more cunning than some others Of the
leaders, who have yet to save themselves

LOCAL MATTERS.

RoBBERY.-Two hospital patients, named
Calnan and Juhl, who had come into town on
Thursday afternoon, started back to the hos
pi,al about nine o'clock in the evening. A
short distance beyond the residence of Mr..
Kent, they were stopped by three highwuymen,
two armed with revolyers and the other with a
bowie knife, and ordered to stop and deliver
nm their money. Calnan, who was some steps
ahead Of the other, stopped as directed, but
Juhl started to rum but was followed by two of
the robbers who soon overlook him, and took
from him four dollars in money and gold
watch While the two were following and
searching Juhl, the other stood with pistol
presented at Calnan, and the latter, seeing the
fpllow's hand trembling, and fearing the pisto
might accidentally 60 off, told him he was
hospital patient, unable to run, and had no de-
sire to get away. Upon this, the robber lower
cd his pistol, and the other two coming back al
lowed Calnan to go without even searching
him. He had two dollars in his pocket The
watch taken from Juhl had lain in the wa
TOR rudtil the works had rusted, and was of no
value except the case. Calnan states that the
fellow who kept watch over him, had on sol
dier's cap, the front drawn over his eyes, and
what he took to be dragoons coat, with the
cane pulled up so as to conceal the lower part
of his face.
A Long WAY RoUND.-A mail bag, con-
tanning Eastern papers received by the last

In the Marysville stage, having come round by

FATAL ACCIDENT AT HUMBoLDT.- The
Territorial Enterprise of May 10th says: We
have intelligence of the death Of George N,
Williams, lately of this town, by the accidental
discharge of pistol. 1t appears that on the
29th Of April, he was taking some saddle blank
cts down, that laid on a wheelbarrow, about
three feet from the floor, Colts dragoon pistol
was lying on them, which he did not see, and
fell to the ground, the hammer striking the
stone foor 1t went off at his feet, the ball stri-
king him in the left groin, ranging upward into
the abdomen. This happened about nine o'clock
a. NJ, and he suffered great pain until about
o'clock p. NJ, when he died.

MINING AT SACRAMENTO.-D During the
past two or three weeks, two men with the COM
mon rocker, have been engaged in washing dirt
near the free bridge, at the head of X street,
making as their average wages, from two to
three dollars per day. 1t is said that at the
scene Of their labors trading post once stood,
but from the length of time they have, been
working there it looks as if the miners had come
across some natural Deposit Bee.

BOYS IN BATrLE.-Quel Quin, the
Memphis correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, thus alludes to the conduct Of
the boys in our army at the battle of Shi.
lob:
Great surprise was manifested by the
prisoners at the number of boys and small
men in our army, and one of them remark
ed that, s'for little fellers, they fought like
the ID" Somebody asked him what he
thought of the battle generally. "WelI,"
said he, eff you'd stuck to us three hours
more, Abe Lincoln might have called his
roll in HI, and he wouldn't have found
one of US missing" r..
Speaking Of boys, It is not less true than
remarkable that large proportion of the
army is composed of such material. And
they make the best soldiers. They fight
with vim and daring, and, what is better
still, they never no when they are whipped.
One young Kentucky lad of fifteen, whom
I remember, fought all day in advance Of
his regiment, and never retraated Taking
his position behind trees, and creeping
from bush to bush, be kept up steady fire
from his rifle, until he had expended forty
and then robbed the body of
Yankee for a fresh supply. bis clothes
we're absolutely cut to pieces, and yet, With
the exception of a slight scratch on the
arm, he escaped without wound.

General Price.


The Mobile Tribune says that some Of
the soldiers from Gen. Prices division have
been in that city on their way to Virginia.
1t was interesting to hear these men ex.
press their admiration of their chief. The
Tribune says:
One of them declared that he would
rather die under his command than fight
under any other. It was a little e3trava-
CANT, but evidently earnest. And yet Gen.
eral Priee is as rigid discipliuarian as any
officer in the service. How is it that he
has held a ragged and half-starved army in
the bleak climate of Missouri in so good a
fighting trim as to win every battle where
there was not a great disparity Of numbers
holding his men in his hand to do, and
eagerly desiring to do, whatever they we're
ordered This is the secret of success, and
it shows that mere military knowledge and
experience are not the complete measure of
a soldiers fitness for command. Beaure-
gard has great deal of this control of his
troops. Napoleon had it, and every great
soldier must have it. Between martinez
and commander of this kind there is an
infinite difference. The officer whom his
men are attached to can handle brigade
with as much effect as one lacking it d.
vision.

as appears BY Gen. ;Beauregard's address,
were at Corinth on I'd inst. Price was

Col. of the 9th Arkansas regiment. Dufie,
formerly Of Chester, captain-(late Repre-

BuRYlNa SOLDIERS PaEMATURELY.- =
There should be attached to each hospital
q place for the temporary deposit of those
who die or are supposed to have died from
disease. We are led to make these sug.
gestions from having heard that on two
occasions recently parties who we're about
being subjects to the rites of burial in Oak
wood Cemetry had signifed their disappro.
baton Of the proceeding while on their
way thither. The driver Of the hearse in
one instance, as We hear, was horri6ed at
the vigorous manifestations of the supposed
defuuot, and quickly carried him to place
where he could be released from his un-
pleasant predieament. Inanother instance,
as we learn, MI. Radford, keeper of the
cemetry, having. undoubted assurance,
from the knocking and EXPLANATIONS Of the
subject, opened the coffin and sent the
dead man back for further medi.
cal treatment. While attaching no blame
to any one, the matter is mentioned in the
hope that 1t will induce caution that .ex.
perience has abundantly shown to be me-
oessary.-Richmond Dispatch -.

A SUGGESTION FOR PLANTERs.-A COR
respondent of the Savannah Neaos suggests
to planters that they prepare to plant large.
ly Of slip or layer of sweet potatos. He
says:
There is now ample time for the prepara-
tion, as they may be planted as late as the
latter part of July and produce good crop.
I have made three hundred and fifty bush.
els per acre on very light land by the ap-
plication Of about two bushels of rough
stable manure to the task row, and much
larger yields have been made to my knowl-
edge; but if only so bushels were made it
will be good return for the labor required.
As an article of food I need not say
much, as their properties are we'll known :;
but as I am convinced that they have never
been properly appr eciated as food for hor-
ses, wish to make known the fact that they
are equal to corn or oats in quality, and I
think FIVE pecks of potatos fully equal to
of corn for horses; at least my experience
for several years justi6es my conclusion.-
They should not be fed to horses until they
have been banked about three weeks, as
they are apt to give the scours; but after
that time there is no danger. Simply let
them be dry and not wasted and no danger
need be apprehended. As the cost of trans.
portation would be greater than corn, l
would suggest that farmers use them at
home and ship their corn to points where
it may be needed.

circulation to the Confederate Government.
They were unwilling to come in competi-
tion with it in this respect, at the hazard
of creating DETERMINATIONS and conflicts Of
currency. But these trades and contracts
specifying bank notes as the preferred our
rency is doing exactly what the banks de-
sired to avoid, and what it is all important
to the public welfare should be avoided.
Many no doubt have in their business
transactions acted iuconsiderate!y only
They have made distinction between Con.
federate currency and bank currency from
no deliberate motive to injure the public
credit. They have either yielded to the
weakness of their own timid minds, orhaye
respected, instead of rebuking, the timidi.
ty of others, aud thus levelled blow at the
public credit.
1t is not less true in matters of finance,
than Of warfare, that fear "betrays like
treason" For this reason we desire thus
openly to caution the weak, as we'll as the
vicious, that assaults upon the credit of the
Government deserye to be as strongly re.
buked as firing into our soldiers, or under
mining our Notifications. In these days of
expensive warfare, the power Of the purse
is not less important than that of the sword.
Indeed, if the financial arm becomes
weakened, whether by the secret intrigues
of enemies in our midst, or the unmanly
fears of the weak spirited capitalists, the
military arm becomes paralyzed. But if
the people remain true to the Government,
and cherish an abiding faith in the ultimate
triumph of our cause, the Government be-
comes triply armed-its means as bound
less as the resources of fthe entire Confede.
