Since the fall of Fort Donelson, the

these forts recently looked upon as almost
impenetrable TO the influences Of shot and

Manassas, have been abandoned BY the
enemies of cur country, ana Our Flag q"

" Gibraltars, without the loss of a man
or the firing of n gun Whether the
rebels have abandoned these places
through fear of defeat, or for the pur
pose of drawing our troops into trap at
some other point. we know not. The re-
snlt in either case will be the samoa
Weakening of their own cause, and a

She was launched in 1856 In April,

JOINED TO THEIR IDoL.-The Detroit
Free Press, a leading Democratic paper
of Michigan, uses the following language
in reference to its choice between eman-
cipation and the destruction Of the Union:
Much as we deprecatc the idea Of submit
ting to blotting out our name on the map of
the world. ii would be infinitely preferable to
undertaking to carry out this plan of eman-
cipaton."
Such is the sentiment of many of the
political friends of the Free Press If
they had the choice between blotting out
the Union or blotting out slavery, they
would " infinitely prefer to = let the I'm
ion slide, not SO much, perhaps, on ac-
count of their love for slavery, as because
of their hatred to the party they look upon
as anti-slavery We are gratifed that
there is not, nor is there likely to be, an
occasion to choose between slavery and
the Union.

legislative.

We give portion of the Proceedings of
the Assembly, on the 18th, as follows:
The bill to invest the School Fund in
the bonds of the State being the special
order, was taken up.
Mr.. SANBoRN moved to postpone the bill
till Wednesday next lie said he sup
posed it was understood that the friends of
this bill would agree to the postponement
He urged that the bill to loan the School
Fund to the General Fund should be con
sidered with this He would not under
take 10 say the State bonds were not good
but gentlemen Of greater legal ability
than himself doubted the legality of their
issue, and there were many who doubted
the propriety of investing our School
Fund in these bonds. TO his measure
there could be no objection
Mr., JUssEN knew nothing of an agree
ment to postpone. He thanked the gen
tiemen for his frankness in pla cling his OPP
position TO the pending bill upon the
ground that the bonds are unconstitution-
al and will be repudiated That is his
whole argument Every gentleman who
voted against this bill, voted that our
bonds arc not constitutional He was
willing to meet this issue
Mr., HAMILTON moved TO lay the bill on
the table.
Mr.. Mills claiming that he had the
floor. the motion was withdrawn
| Mr.. NJ. then said that, as the opposition

SHAM BATTLEs.-If our readers desire
to see what a battle looks like, without
running the hazards that follow a bona
tde conflict of arms, n trip over to King
Wisconsin Brigade, at Arlington, will sat
isfy them Every morning you will find
troops out in the grounds In the rear of
the camps, going through the motions of a
real battle, company pitted against com
pany, and wing against wing Blank
cartridges are used, and powder is burnt
freely The sport seems to partake Of all
the excitement of a real battle; and troops
are vanquished and victories won, and
prisoners taken, and colors raised 1t is
excellent sport for the boys, and accus-
toms them to the smell of powder.
Kings brigade is composed of the Sec
ond Sixth. and Seventh Wisconsin voIun-
teers. and First Wisconsin artillery
They arc a lusty set of men, eager TO be
onward to Richmond and impatiently
awaiting the order to move. That they
have not been idle is evident from the ex-
celent manner in which they have been
drilled. Col Edgar OConnors regiment
draws from the reporter of the Philadel-
pnia Press the remark, we never saw 1t

These returns appear fabulous, vet pri-

The miners were in good health

Letters have been received in this place
that give fabulous accounts of gold discov-
cries in Oregon and Washington Terrific
~, though none of them are quite equal
to those in the English papers. This we
presume arises from the fact that distance
lends magnitude to gold stories as we'll as
to other yarns
That the country alluded to is rich in
the precious metal. we have no doubt. but
those who rely upon the exaggerated ac-
counts, and expect to find gold scattered
over the surface, and that they have only
to pick it up and fill their pockets, will
quite likely be disappointed Those who
make their piles will have to endure
many hardships and privations, while
thousands will be less fortunate, and with
equal labor and suffering, will be far less
successful
