The News.

The telegraph wires have been in con-
slant operation to-day, in the transmission
of dispatches across the continent, and Tor
that reason The news sent over yesterday
was not telegraphed to the interior this
morning. We have not been able to get
any of the particulars of the capture OF
Manassas. though some of the details Will
probably be in the Union of tonight.
Some important information. of favor
able character, has been sent over to-day,
but at the time Of writing this, we were not
able to get any definite information as to
what il was. We believe some important
city has been taken by the Federals, but
whether 1t is Richmond, Charleston, Savan-
nah, New Orleans, or some other, we could
not learn.
The capture of Manassas, however, is an
event Of sufficient importance to crafty the
thirst for news for al least week. 1t sew
ers the spinal column of the rebellion; aud
If the victory is properly followed up, as we
doubt not it will be, the wicked scheme for
the disruption of the nation will be speedily
crushed out. Possibly the rebel leaders
may gather up their scattered and demOr'
allied forces and make another stand some
where 10 the interior of the Gulf States; but
as they cannot now hope for the aid OF any
foreign nation, they must sooner or later
suceumb to the power of the Federal Gov
ernment. The rebel leaders may as we'll
be looking for place to emigrate to.
Since the above was in type we have
received the dispatch containing the glori-
GUS news of the defeat of the rebel troops
In Arkansas. The Union forces are victo-
rious in every quarter.

NEWS OF MARCH 5th.-Phe Union, of yes
terday, contained over a column Of Eastern
telegraphic news, of March 5th--one day
later than previously received. The fol-
lowing are the more important items:
Columbus, lately evacuated by the rebels,
is now garrisoned by 1900 Federal infan.
try and 400 cavalry. Senator Andy John
son has been confirmed as Brigader Gener-
al and accepted the military Governorship
of Tennessee. Hon. ReverdV johnson has
been elected U. S. Senator by the Legisla-
ture of Maryland. The pirate steamer
Nashville has run the blockade at Wilming-
ton. Several shots were fred at her by the
blockading vessel, but without effect She
claims to have brought valuable cargo Of
bank-note paper. There was great panic
in Richmond, caused by the late defeats.
According TO the Richmond papers, the
Union "couspirators" are at work, and
summary measures are urged to check the
progress of "treason." John NJ. Bolts, and
twenty other wealthy and influential citi-
zens, have been arrested and thrown into
prison, for manifesting Union proclivities
Martial law has been proclaimed at Rich.
mOnd and the adjoining country for ten
miles around. Port Royal advices state that
Commodore Duponts feet bad sailed from
there; Its destination is unknown. Fort
Pulaski is surrounded by Federal troops,
aud new batteries are being. erected. Sa.
vannah has been well fortified by the reb.
els, and reinforcements were arriving in
large numbers.

REBEL ScHEMEs.-"Malakof," the we'll
informed Paris correspondent Of the New
York Times, in letter of January Zlsi'
thus refers to the schemes of JEFF. Davis q
Co.:
A secret document from JEFF Davis has been
furnished the Governments of France and En-
gland. which gives full details of the military
and commercial resources of the Confederacy'
and which points out in detail the advantages
present and to come which France would de-
rive commercially and politically by aiding IN
the establishment of the new Government IN
its details of military resources, France Is ex-
pected to see that the Consederacy is able TO re-
sist the North forever, which entities them 10
recognition, while in its commercial details are
seen the enticing phantom Of free trade and
commercial riches. The Southern agents, 1t IS
said have drawn up, as a last resource, as a
last bait by which to catch the sympathies and
the recognition of the French Government, a
plan for the gradual emancipation of slavery in
the new Confederacy. There is not particle
of doubt that this ruse will be adopted, if all
others fail. But the amusing part Of it is, that
one of the Secession papers indiscreetly let the
Joke out by stating that the period at which
emancipation was to be final was fifty years
hence.

SHoT HIMsELF.-An insane man named
Reed, who had been working in Smith &
Johnson's mill, near Virginia City. shot
himself on the zth inst, and inflicted o
wound that will undoubtedly prove fatal
There being no place 10 the county for the
safe keeping of such persons, he was kept

TIE REAsoN.--When the news was re-
ceived, that the Government had put an
embargo upon the telegraph lines, we sug-
gested that 1t was probably done for The
purpose Of keeping secret some important
military movement which was then ia con.
temptation. The fact that the army Of Ihe
Potomac advanced upon Manassas within
week or two after the Government took
possession. of the telegraph Offices, .is pretty
good evidence that il was merely a precsu-
tionary measure to prevent the rebels from
obtaining any intelligence Of what was 90,
ing on in the Federal lines.

RIOT IN RIcHMOND.-About the first OF
February, very serious riot occurred in Rich
mond, Va, which lasted all night, and for
time threatened disastrous consequences to Life
and property. 1t is said TO have first commsnr
ced in drunken brawL At this crowd col
lected, which soon gnew to formidable propOr-
tions. Three or four persons are said to have
been killed among whom were some of the po-
lice. Houses, stores, &c., were broken open
and ransacked, and it seemed impossible to
check the violent proceedings until late the fol-
lowing morning, when many engaged in the
mob retired of their own accord. The Dispatch
speaking Of this affair, calls it disgraceto the
city, and shameful in the extreme. 1t calls for
the city to be instantly placed under martial
law. The citizens (women especially were
greatly alarmed.

LARGEST OIL WELL IN THE WORLD
From the aecounb of Toronto paper. it APP
pears that the largest oil we'll in the world has
OF late been opened upon land owned by VIM.
Sanford Of Erie, Pa. This well is over 200 feet
deep, and fowss when allowed to-, oven 2, 500
barrels of oil ini24 hours. One of the largest
OH refneries in Amenna is. now being built to
refine the oils taken CUB Of wells on this land.
There is no good reason, why oil Of the best
kind cannot be sold in the San Francisco mar
ket-withn twelve months-for so cents per
gallon, by the single can or case. The oilwells
in Pennsylvania, and directly opposite Lake
Erie, in Canada, are among the wonders Of this
century.

SuBMERGED.-A San, Francisco dispatch,
of Thursday, says, that large portion of
the land lying along either side OF the Mar
ket street ralroAdl at and beyond Hayes
valleygis still submerged. The late rains
have raised the water thereabouts, and in
some places It encroaches beyond the fences
bounding the lots alongside the track.

of the Yerba Buena Cemetery is in. la

THE CARIBoO MONoMANIA.-The annexed
paragraph, from the San Francisco Herald
and Mirror, we commend to those adVen'
turous spirits who purpose starting at this
season for the new Ell Dorado of the north:
A passengers who arrived here on the "Bro-
ther Jonathan" Informed us yesterday that
Victoria is overaowing with adventurers en-
route for the Northern mines, and there cor
raled in consequence of the impassibls condl-
ton of the roads in the new Ell Dorado. VIC
toria is so crowded that a large number are
compelled to lodge in tents and pay half dol
lar for the privilege of sleeping. therein. In
consequence, great suffering and sickness are
experienced by the emigrants, and undoubtedly
many deaths will occur or fatal diseases be con-
tracted before an opportunity will be oftsredto
reach the goal Of their hopes and ambition
The pertinaeity with which our population rush
forward to the certain cares, privations, disap-
pointment and death that await them in the
North may be regarded in the light Of mono
mania impelling them to suicide.

PERSONAL RECIPocITY WITH HAYTI.-
Thereris rnmor aHoa! here, says New York
letter. to the effect that Gefrard, the President
of Hayti, in view Of the anticipated recogniza-
ton Of his Government by the United States,
has decided to send white man as his repre-
sentative at Washington. The. Evening Post
is in doubt whether this course is to be consid-
cred as concession to American prejudices,
or simply hint TO our Government that Hayti
would like to have its prejudices respected in a
like manner; and suggests that if the Haytien
President does really send us a white Minister,
we should reciprOcate the compliment BY send
ing him a black one.

FoREIGN NEws.-Late Eastern dispatches


FOREIGN NEws.-Late Eastern dispatches
give items of European news up to Februa-
ry 23d. It is reported that Slidell had bad
several interviews with the French Minis
ter, which we're, however, of an unofficial
character. In the House of Commons,
O'Donoghue strongly censured the Govern
ment for not taking active steps to prevent
breaches of neutrality by British ships.
Ledyard said the papers relative to the
blockade would be laid before the House on
the oath or 25th of February, and would
contain statement of the Number OF yes
sells that had broken the blockade; he hop
ed the information would satisfy O'Dono-
ghue. The statement referred TO by Led
ward. is undoubtedly the one made out by
the Confederates some time since, showing
that over five hundred vessels had run the
blockade. This number included all the
small crafts that had lodged about the "rat
holes'' of the Southern coast. The nom
receipt of American cotton, at Liverpool,
is the best evidence of the efficiency of the
blockade. The truth is, the blockade Is
terribly effective, and that is what gives the
Confederates and that British friends so
much trouble.

INDIAN ALLIANoE&-The Virginia City En-
terpryse, of the 9Th inst, says Mr.. John White
who recently came in from the Truckee, informs
us that the Snake Indians have sent deputa-
ton to the Pi-Utes to form treaty for the pur-
pose Of preventing any whites from passing
through the territory of either tribe. II their
object is attained, it will prevent most parties
from attempting to reach the Northern mines
by direct overland route, as the intervening
country is inhabited by these two tribes. The
Indians in all directions are evincing meddih-
some disposition, and i is more than ikalE.
there will be trouble with them the coming
Summer.

TOWNSHIP GovERNMENTs.-On our first
page will be founda a pretty full synopsis OF
a bill now pending before the Legislature
for the organization of township govern
ments. The system designed to be inaug-
ulated by this bill is modelled after the
township organizations which have long
been established in the New England aud
some other States. The plan works well
there, and we doubt not 1t would. in this
State after the people became accustomed
TO it. There are many advantages which
the people, particularly those living at
distance from the county seats, would de-
rive from such system Of governments.
Much of the official business--such as the
recording of mining claims and chattel
mortgages, the registering Of births, deaths
and marriages etc.--which now requires a
journey TO the county seat, and, one or
more days time, can be transacted By the
local town officers; and by this means, The
necessity of dividing the State into inOOn-
veniently small counties would be ObTiat-
ed. II the bill should become a law, ii
would be we'll to abolish, the town govern
ments of such places as Nevada and Grass
Valley. and let the township organization
take their place.

WIhe Eram,ner published at Fred
crick, the scat of the famous Secession
Legislature, makes the following peril
ncnt comments and suggestions, in con-
ncction with the report Of the Special
Committee appointed by the present
Legislature to examine in.o the cxpendi-
lures of that branch of the Secession
conspiracy while ac ing in the capacity
of the Maryland Legisla ure
When we reflect that in addition to
the aid and comfort which this Tory
legislature and its abe tors gave to the
Rebels, its futile cndeavors to seccde
the S ate added nearly eighty thousand
dollars to the burden of Taxation upon
the people of Maryland, it cannot be
deemed ungcnerous to clamor for law
providing that all tories in this State,
who sympathizc with the Rebellion,
should be subjected to double taxa ion !;
and that all who refuse 10 take and
truly observe the Oath of allegiance to
the Federal Government should be dis
franchiscd. These penalties are a
merited retribution.
