~ Two times, last week, was the

In DARKNBss.-It seems that, in addition
to the moral gloom which has settled over
Richmond, the Capital of the bogus COnfeder-
acy, another darkness of the most annoying
kind is about to envelope its citizens. In 9th
er words, their facilities for making gas-illum-
mating gas, mean-are agout giving out, and
they have neither the means nor the skill to
renew them. Coal they have in abundance,
but no tiles for covering the gas retorts, and no
factories wherein these tiles can be made. OF
candles, it is said, they have not enough to last
fortnight, while all the oil they can manufac-
ture is required to lubricate machinery. All
the tallow they can collect they require to feed
their brave soldiers on, while Of alcohol, which
might be transformed into several sorts of
burning fluid, they have but scant supply for
the throat-consumption of their troops. And
the end is not yet of the fist year of their self
sustaining experiment. What sorry condi-
ton for great city filed with the highest toned
chivalry, the very salt Of the earth, to present
to the world in the very first year of its "inde-
pendonce!" Nothing but the invasion now
impending Of the Yankee mudsillS can save il
from utter ruin.

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH q, 1852

TIE STEAMER NEvADA.-An apparatus
has been manufactured at San Francisco,
for the purpose Of raising the steamer Me-
vada, which promises 10 be successful. 1t
consists Of four "camels," or large alr.Iight
canvas sacks, eight feet in diameter and
forty feet in length. These "camels" are
10 be first adjusted under the vessel, and
then filed with air by means of four air
pumps of seven ineh bore and ten inch
stroke, commencing by means of hose OF
requisite size and strength. 10 addition to
these apparatus, two derricks have been
rugged for the purpose Of shaking the ves-
sci, to overcome the "suction" at the bot
tom aud thereby force her from the mud in
which she is inbedded. The experiment
with the oamels was tried on Wednesday
last, and the steamer was started from her
place in the mud and nearly raised, when
some portions of the sustaining rigging
gave way aud she sunk back to her former
position. Stronger rigging has been sub
stituted, and the attempt will be made again
under more favorable circumstances.

THE ERUPTION or MOUNT VEsUyIUs.-Dur-
ing the late eruption of Vesuvius the peo
pie for miles around had to use umbrellas
to ward off the showers of dust which fell,
reaching far beyond Capri and SalernO.
The first appearance of the eruption is thus
happily described by correspondent of the
London Athenaeum:
When first saw the eruption l was walking
with friend, and happening to look over the
inclination of a mountain which cut the sea and
the distant prospect, saw what appeared to me
to be a vast pine, and yet I said, rubbing my
eyes, do not remember one on that spot; 1t
cannot be pine, it must be smoke from Vesu-
vius; and so it was; and at this, the commence
ment of the eruption, we could see the mighty
mass from the roots, which were fixed in the
base of the mountain, growing up with wonder
full rapidity to the gigantic tree which touched
the very heavens, and then spread its branches
south and east and west, until the coast, sea,
everything, was hidden from view. l never
witnessed anything grander than the vast mass
es of smoke which rose and rolled over one an
other in magnificent involutions.

THE ARREST OF GEN. SToNE.-There has
been considerable newspaper discussion 10
relation to the charges against Gen. Stone,
to whose fault is attributed the massacre at
Rall,s Bluff. On our first page will be
found an article from Forney'sPres on the
subiect. From this, some might conclude
that he was a traitor, while others would
come to the conclusion that his arrest was
the result of abolition intrigues. There is
something inexpIicable 10 his conduct II
he was really traitor, and accepted po-
sition in the army for the purpose OF aiding
the rebel cause, it is hardly probable that
he would have been constantly denounclng
the political opinions of the Administration;
instead Of that, he would have done every
thing in bis power 10 have gained the conf
dence of the President in order to have car
red out his plans. He acted in altogether
too buDgling manner for traitor; and
yet bis military course apparently evinced
purpose to allow the enemy to gain every
advantage over bis command. The follow
ing are the charges on which he was ar
rested:
"First- For misbehayior at the battle OF
Balls Bluff.
"Second-For holding correspondence with
the enemy, before and since the battle Of Ball's
Bluff, and receiving visits from rebel officers in
his camp.
"Third-For treacherously suffering the en-
emy to build fort or stronghold since the bat
tie of Balls Bluff, under his guns, without mo-
lestatiOn.
"Fourth-For treacherous design to expose
his force to capture and destruction by the en-
emmy, under pretense of orders for movement
from the commanding general, which had not
been given"

A LITTLE REvoLUTIoN.-Whilet the great
North American revolution is going on, little
one has been in progress in Chill. There are
people numbering about 100000 living in the
mountains and named Arancanians. They are
a confederation of kindred tribes, descended
from the conquered races of ancient Peru, who
fed from the Spaniards to the mountains, and
have ever since maintained independence OF
Spain and the Republic. Their territory ex-
tends along the coast one hundred and eighty
six miles, and back from the sea, one hundred
and fifty miles, to the Andes. They are the
Caucassians of South America, brave, warlike
and ndomtable-haughty Children of the Sun,
descended from the 1ncas, with hereditary
Government. A while ago, OTelie Antoine, a
Frenchman, got among these people, won their
confidence, and was proclaimed King. Ihe
ambitious King Antoine meditated the invasion
of Chill, and went from town to town stirring
up the Indians, until he had the promise ol
$4,000. A deputation was sent to the Chilean
Governor, who Pizzaro-like, laid trap for the
King of the mountains, and sent out deputies
to confer with His Majesty. During the con-
ference, King Antoine was surrounded BY
creeping troops, one of whom sprang on his
majesty, bound, threw him astride a horse, and
run off the King of Arancania to low-land
Jail, where His Majesty languishes in vile du'
rance.

PUBLIC DooUMENTs.-We are under many
obligations to Senator Latham for Vol. XI
ofthe Pacific Railroad Surveys; also, for
the Report Of Major Delafeld, of the Corps
Of Engineers, on the Art of War In Europe.
We have now a complete set Of the Pacific
Railroad Surveys, and prize the work very
highly. The entire work consists of thirteen
large volumes, and is one of the most ex.
pensive works ever published in any coun-
Try or by any Government. The Nevada
Library has also receiveda a copy of the
eleventh volume of the Survey from Mr.
Latham, and we believe the Association
now have nearly full set.

SENSATION AT CAMP ALERT.-There was
quite sensation at Camp Alert on Saturday.
1t seems that a number of privates Of Compa-
ny X, Capt. S. P. Smith, conceiving that their
late comrade, Jacob +. Schrum, was drummed
out of the service without cause, got up petit
ton on his behalf to Brigader General Wright,
which was signed by forty-nine members of the
company. Capt. Smith hearing Of the paper,
however, concluded to suppress it. He went
it is stated, to private w. B. Welton and de-
manded it. The latter acknowledged that he
had the petition, and said he would not resist
him If his commander used force to take il
from him. The document was seized and burn
ed up. 1t set forth that Schrum had always
done his duty when he was able; that he was q
sober man; that no charge had been lodged
against him; and that he was drummed out Of
the service without trial and without cause. II
has been intimated that Schrum will endeavol
to obtain redress through the civil cOurts.-[S

MEXICAN MATTERs.-The Mexican Gov.
ernment has appointed Domingo GOiconria
as Minister Extraordinary to the United
States, which seems to be displeasng to the
Spanish authorities. The official paper at
Havana says of the appointment:
The appointment of a Minister Extraordina-
ry to the United States, there being already
there Charge d'Affaires, and the gentleman
selected one well known in this Island, proves
that Jaurex cherishes hopes and projects little
tending to terminate in conciliatory and pa
cific manner the questions which caused the
triple alliance and its consequent expedition.
Little care we what the celebrated general may
do or leave undone. But it is best that it should
be known that perchance while Jaurez is de-
claring to the representatives of the three ma
tions his good intentions, he is trying to pro-
cnre If not for the moment, for the future, the
aid of another power whose interests and in
tentions are not, perhaps, in complete harmo-
ny with those that they (the Allies) propose.

THE SMALL Pox.-A gentleman just up
from San francisco informs us that there
are now probably not less than fifteen hum
dred cases of small pox In that city. No
one estimates the number at less than
thousand. We learn that there are also
great many cases in Sacramento and Ma
Fysyille. Several persons have died of the
disease in the latter city. Only one or two
eases have yet occurred in Nevada county,
but the disease is raging to a greater or
less extent over the whole State, and we
cannot expect to entirely escape 1t. Every
precaution should be taken to prevent It's
Fayages;. parents should see to it that their
children are vacoinated, and grown per-
sons, who have once been vaccinated, in
order to make assurance double sure,
should be vaccinated again.

ed of murder in the first degree; but the
Supreme Court reversed the decisions. and
ordered new trials. The case was finally
removed to AmadOr county, On the first
trial in the latter county, he was again
found guilty, but the court granted anoth-
er trial, which resulted in his acquittal.
For four years he had not been out to the
light, and when liberia ted seemed indifer-
ent, and uncOnsciously assumed the atti-
tude Of one wearing shackles.

EUROPEAN INTERVENTION UNPRoFT1 ABLE
The New York Journal of Commerce, OF q
recent date, contains an article on the
"Pro6t of Intervention" in behalf OF their
commercial interests, by European nations.
It shows conclusively, by an array OF reli'
able figures, that, instead OF benehttlng,
such Intervention would in the end prove
very serious to foreign merchants aud man
ufacturers. The consumption of goods of
foreign manufacture, in the South, has al
WAYS cen overrated in Europe. Thus, Of
the foreign importations for the year end
ing June 3Olh, 1861, amounting in value to
$500 900 900, less than $31, 100000 went
direct to Southern ports stretching from
Richmond to Texas; and even OF this
amount the proportion of European fabrics
was very small, those of cotton, silk, wooleh
and fax falling below $4,5OO,OO in value
and being exceeded to the extent of S2,OOO,-
600 by the value of their importatiOns OF
coffee alone. A portion Of the importations
landed at the Northern ports find their way
to the South, but not to the extent claimed
OF the rich fabrics, the consumption In the
slave States Is exceedingly small outside OF
the commercial cities. The Journal con-
cludes that the prOffered free trade with the
rebel States would not begin to compensate
Europe for the interruption of portion Of
her direct trade with the North. This con-
clusion has also been reached in many quar-
ters in England, as appears by able articles
which have lately appeared in some of the
London journals If there should be any
European Intervention in American affairs,
1t will be for political reasons, and not for
the benefit OF the commercial interests; it
will be the work of the European aristocra-
cy, for the purpose of breaking down Amer
lean institutions; or, failing in that, OF as
sisting to divide the nation and set up a
rival Government on our southern borders.

FROM OREGON The steamer Brother
Jonathan arrived at San Francisco on
Thursday, from the northern coast. She
reports the steamer Sierra Nevada safe, in
Bakers Bay, waiting for smooth sea, be-
fore venturing out with deck load o!
I,200 horses. Thirteen miners, bound for
John Days river, in eastern Oregon, were
lately murdered by Indians. The Colum-
bia river was still closed by ice above the
Dalles. The Portland Advertiser says men
are rushing to the mines without Sufficient
blankets or provisions, and With no knowl-
edge of the country, and predicts fearful

to thirty-fve dollars week. A man who

reports 1900 to 1000 miners there, with
plenty of provisions.

Snow IN SIsKIYoU.-On the mountains
and in the gulehes, adjacent to the northern
boundary Of California, vast quantities of snow
still remains. Low down towards the valleys,
the gulches contain from two to four feet deep,
while high up in the mountains where the sun
cannot throw its heat, as much as ten feet deep
can be found in ravines. The probability is
that abundant water will be derived from this
source nearly all summer for mining purposes.
