EFFECT OF TER-WRrrNG.-The late
political manifesto of Gov. Stanford, what
ever may be its effect upon Ibe prospects Of
bis party. is not likely to advance the Gov
ernor's political aspirations. The legislative
correspondent of the Bee says on the sub.
ject:
1t is now openly asserted that the Republican
party is split from stem to stern, and unless
some experienced pilots runs it on bank be-
fore it sinks, nothing will be left of it. Gov.
Stanford has been severely criticised BY men,
bers Of his party for lending himself TO any
such proceeding as that contained in his letter
to those State officers, who desired so particu-
larly to be made aware af his political views. 1t
does seem strange that with the long list of pO-
litical letter-writing suicides before him, Gov.
Stanford should have been so short sighted.
From the greatest man OF his time-Henry
Clay-down to John g. Downey, writing polit-
ical letters has been worse than strychnine to
those indulging in that delightful pastime. Le-
land Stanford's name is now enrolled among
the dead men Of the political Golgotha-letter
writing-and without any hope Of resurrection.

UxIoS.-Eaeh Of lhe Sunday schOOIs Of

USIoS.-Eaeh Of the Sunday Schools Of
Nevada, profess to have endeavored to eff
feet some arrangements for the celebration
Of May Day Ia the usual manner, bat with
out succeeding. This failure on the part Of
the Sunday Schools, for q joint celebration,
ia proof that seI6shness exists in religious
as we'll as political organizations. Three.
fourtbs Of the voters of California are relia-
bic and staunch Union men; yet according
to Gov. Stanford's idea, The only way TO
preserve the Union, is by adhering to party
organization-and voting the Republican
ticket. This course on the part Of the Gov
ernOr, IL endorsed by the party managers,
viii have the effect Of disorganlEing and
defeating the party, Of which he and bis
followers are the shining lights. But 10
the church It is different. We presume
there is not single individual connected
with either Of the Sunday Schools, who is
not anxious (prOfessedIy) TO have joint
celebration, yet It cannot be brought about.
This will produce back.biting, and the cry
of persecution will benefit them oil.

The Cotton aueatlou in RebeEdom.

The C0EIOn AAWCBAAOM ah AANDCANADAAAe
A public meeting was held in Richmond,
Va. in the latter part Of February, which,
according TO local paper, was one Of The
largest, wealthiest. aud most intellectual
gatherings ever assembled in that city. The
object of the meeting was to prevail on The
Confederate government to buy all the cot
ton, and burn it if necessary, to prevent its
falling into the possession Of the Federal
Government. Among The "wealtby" and
"intellectual" individuals who figure 10 The
proceedings, We notice the names Of Gen.
eral Thomas Jefferson Green, an early Cal.
ifornia legislator, and Union-saVing FOote,
also we'll known IN this State. One 3. C.
Marshal introduced preamble and resolu-
tions, reciIing that. as the United States
was making fragrant and wicked war on
the Confederate States, therefore it was the
imperative duty Of the Confederate Govern
meut to purchase the entire crops Of cotton
and tobacco now on hand, and making
fair and equitable compensation for the
same TO their owners. In support OF bis
resolutions, Marshall said:
We come to the cotton question. The last
crop is now actually rotting unbaled. We have
been taught to believe that England and France
was dependent on this staple, and that they
would come and get it. Why do they not Gomez
| have begun to doubt whether there are such
countries as France and England. The enemy
found cotton at Ship Island; some, It Is true,
they found in flames, but not enough Of It. AT
Florence they went up and took an inconsid-
erable quantity. No one seemed TO think OF
setting fire TO it. At Nashville, they will per-
haps get so 900 bales, and the owners, to save
their property, will have to swear allegiance to
that miserable tyrant, Abe Lincoln. And pre-
sently they will descend the Mississippi, with,
perhaps, fifty gunboats, and compel the negroes
to load them with cotton, and send it to Eu-
rope, and say we have opened cotton port;
there is the evidence. / want us to do some
thing manly-something grand. | want the
Confederate government to buy all the cotton,
and, If need be, destroy 1t.
Other speeches we're made 10 support of
the resolutions, which we're adopted unani-
mously. In accordance with the destructive
policy recommended. by the meeting, bill
has been introduced into the Confederate
Congress, which provides that whenever
cotton shall be destroyed to prevent its
falling into the hands of the enemy, the
owners shall be paid for the same "Out of
any moneys in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated"

days work to repair damages occasioned

LETTER PROM MAYFILD.-George Downey,
Of this place, has received a letter from w. H.
Mayfeld, which was written in California. Bill
says in his letter that he had a rough time in
getting over the mountains, and had his feet so
badly frozen at one time, that it became neces-
sary for him to lay over one day at house on
the road. There is but little of general inter-
est in the letter, and that little we are not at
liberty to make public, as it was of course a
confidential letter. Mayfeld speaks in his let
ter Of his future destination, and if he carries
ont his intentions the people who remain in
this Territory need fear nothing from him. He
states that his cash was becoming "small by
degrees and beautifully less" but he knew Of
friend who would replenish his depleted purse.
Ere this, if he pursued the course and policy
indicated by his letter, he is far away, and in a
place where none from this locality will ever
modest him. The reward offored by the Ter
ritory will justify no one in pursuing him to
his new home. He says he will not 90 to the
Northern mines, for the reason that every per-
son will expect him in that region, and prefers
to go where no one will be looking for him.

BATTLE or THE POTOMAc.-The Butte
Democrat sa7s private letter has been re-
ceiyed in fbst sounty, stating ihat battle
was fought on the Potomac, on The LIST, ID
and 81 Of March, which resulted disastrous
ly to our army. In cOrrObOraiiOn Of the
report. The Democrat quotes the following,
from the letter Of the ST. Louis correspond
eht Of the Union, dated March 18th:
50 rapidly have important events crowded IN
upon us during the past week, am at loss 70
know which among them all are deserving
of most notice. We are, indeed, making MS
tory fast; and with the exception Of the engage
rBent on the Potomac, there is no portion OF II
which our nation should desire blOtted out.
We noticed this paragraph 10 the ST. Lou
is letter, and at tbe time supposed that the
engagement on the Potomac" referred to
the battle of Bull Run. The sentence evi-
dently referred to the entire history Of the
rebellion thus far made. Had the Federals
sustained any serious reverse as long ago
as the first of March. we should have bad
the particulars in private letters before this
time, 10 spite OF the efforts Of the Govern
ment to suppress them.

CAPTURE OF FoRT PULAsKL-A Washing.
ton dispatch, of April 18th, gives the par
ticuars of the capture Of Fort Pulaski, at
the mouth of the Savannah river, and the
principal defense of the city of Savannah.
1t Ind previously been reported that the
fort was completely invested by the Federal
troops, and the garrison cut off from sup
plies. On the 10th inst. Gen. Gilmore de-
manded an unconditional surrender of the
fort, which was refused. The Federal bat.
teries Immediately opened fire, which con-
tinued till sunset. A battery was then
placed within 1000 yards Of the fort, and
firing RECOMMENDED ct midnight. The next
morning, two breaches were discovered in
the walls of the fort, which BY noon had as
sumed large proportions. About two O'Clock
the white flag was displayed from the fort,
and the garrison surrendered uncondiIion.
ally. The Federal loss was one killed, and
one slightly wounded; rebel loss, eight bad
ly wounded, and 385 made prisoners. The
official report of Gen. Hunter says: 1--WE
captured forty.seven guns, four thousand
pounds of powder, and good supply of
provisions" 1t seems from this, that the
garrison was we'll supplied with provisions
and ammunition. The only additional de-
fense to Savannah is Fort Jackson, situated
on the river above Pulaski; but that is a
small affair, and it is thought will make but
slight resistance.

I THE STAMPEDE FOR THE NORTHERN
MINEs.-The Fraser river excitement in 1858,
was nowhere, in comparison to the present
rush to the north. A short trip toward Oregon,
this week, gave us some idea Of the manner Of
travelling by many in their eagerness to be first
into Salmon river. We saw companies of men
with riding horse and pack animal to each,
sometimes two men with riding animal each,
and one pack animal; parties on foot, driving
their animals laden with "grub" and necessary
camping equipage; vehicles, large and small,
containing men, women and children, and last,
but not least in number, members Of the "FOot
4 Walker" firm, with mary" pack nor riding
animal, make up the vast crowd Of decidedly
humbugged and deluded individuals, who, re-
gaTdless OF time, weather or circumstances, see
nothing ahead but "hundred dollars day dig
gings," which will prove as eVanescent to thou
sands Of them as the snow of Salmon noun
tains with its "two bits to the pan" prospects.

Rowena Granice Steele, and printed at the
Office of the Union Advocate. Auburn. The
stoIy occupies some sixty pages, in pamph.

face, that it is founded upon an occurrence
which actually took place on the New Jer-
sey shore, opposite New York city, some
twenty-five years ago. We have not yet
read it, and consequently cannot speak Of
its merits. At the end of the volume, is a

~ papers have intelligence from Aurora,
10 the effect that Sheriff N. f. Scott, and
three other men named Mayfeld, Morrison
ahd Pleasants, had been killed in fight
with Indians, while on thrir way to Ovens
river. The intelligence from that quarter
is somewhat contradictory, and consequent.
ly not very reliable, but it appears from
several different accounts that the whites
have had brush with the Indians, and
that number Of the former were killed.
Mr.. Scott will be remembered as an old
resident Of Nevada.
Since the above was in type, we have
received the Carson City Age Of the 18th,
which contains a letter from Mr.. Wassen
The Indian agent, confirming the intelli-
genoe Of skirmish, in which 1t appears
the whites we're routed. Col. Mayaeld,
who had command Of the force, was killed,
together with Scott and the other parties
named. In addition to those named
above, the following persons we're killed:
L. S. Taylor, J. TaIlman, r. Hanson,
Mr.. Crosoo, and Mr.. Gellespie-making
