EASTERN NEws.-Telegraphic dispatches
from the East, of the 1st aud I'd inst, have
been received by the Associated. Press. IL
is proposed by the Governors OF several
States 10 commence drafting after the mid"
die of the present month, If the required
number of troops be not secured by volun-
teering. The Governors have already been
authorized TO draft where efforts are made
to discourage enIistments. The mailed fri
gate Ironsides, is completed, aud was to
have been dispatched to sea, under sealed
orders, on the I'd inst. The guerrilla band,
that lately made an attack OH Mount Ster-
ling, KY, were pursued and all but nine
we're either killed or captured. Seven OF
Com. POrter's mortar boats have arrived at
Fortress Monroe. and five more are on the
way. 1t is supposed they are intended to
reduce Fort Darling, on James river, aud
officers and crews intimate willingness to
undertake the job. Gen. Pope has advanc.
ed his force from Warrent0n. towards
Gordonsville, where the rebel Gen. Jack
son 10 supposed to be stationed with
strong force. We have nothing Of interest
from McCIelIan's army. The War Depart
ment has issued stringent orders, directing
absent officers and men 10 return to their
regiments.

The TOWNSHIP LAWN looking over

The TOWNSHIP LAw.-In looking over
the Township Law, the other day, we dis
covered that an objectionable blunder had
been made by the Legislature-leaving 1t
in doubt as to when the township officers
are to be elected. A correspondent of the
Appeal writing from North San Juan, IN
this county, calls attention TO the act, and
comes to the conclusion that the township
officers will have to be elected this fall,
otherwise there will be no one to appoint
succeeding elections, as provided by Ihe
act. But the Appeal gives sketch OF the
passage of the act, by which 1t appears to
have been the intention TO have the town
ship officers elected, in such counties as
adOpted tho act, on the first Monday 10
May. The bill. as originally introdsced,
was doubtless consistent with itself, and
the bunder was occasioned by amending 3
some sections, and neglecting to amend
others TO make them conform. The peO-
pie, however, can vote for or against the
act, and the Legislature at its session next
winter, can rectify the blunder; and pass
such other acts as may be deemed Odvisa-
bic to organize the township governments
We shall endeaVOr to publish the act be-
fore the election.

BATTLE or TIIE F0Rrs.--A soldier on
board the gunboat WinOna, st the capture
of Fort. Jackson aid ST. Phillip, below
New Orleans. writes thns concerning the
affair:
We have been blockading the mouth Of the
river with but little TO do, for the last SIX
months, but we have come to a night NJ last.
We have had quite large fleet here for some
time past within three miles Of Forts jackson
and St. PHILIPPE. 1t was about four O'Clock IN
the morning of the oath Of April, that our Flag
Officer made signals for all vessels to form in
line Of battle, and steam ahead and prepare to
run between the two forts. We had some ~
mortar vessels lying around bend IN the river,
hidden from the view of the rebels. While we
were preparing to run the gauntlet between the
forts, they were shOwering shells as fast AS
powder could send them into the rebels. and
the sky was all alive with them. 1t was aw-
fully sublime TO look at, and must have struck
the st0utest hearts among the rebels with fear
and terror. In the midst OF this awful specta-
Gle we steamed up in line Of battle, the sloop Of
war Hartford taking the lead, followed by four
more sloops of war, three first class gunbOats,
and nine second class gunboats. The forts did
not open fire till we were within u short dis
tance Of them, when they Y0mited forth shot,
she'll, grape and canister from the mouth OF
some three hundred cannon. 1t was an awful
sight to behold, and a time that tried man 5
courage, but our brave tars were equal to the
task that was before them, and poured III
broadside after broadside with such quickncSs
and deadly effect that the rebels in terror de-
serted their guns. In passing the forts we had
three men killed and six wounded on our
ship.

CARRIER.
After the delegates were elected. Mr,
Geo. d. Roberts offered the following reso.
lutiOus:
Resolved, That we look upon the further
prosecution of the war, by the Federal Govern
ment, as being unwise, and wicked. The alarm
ing magnitude Of the Public debt; the increas-
ing burden oftaxation; the utter and willful alb
rogation of the Constitution by government of
ficas; the reckless expenditure of life and trea-
sure; the bloody and fruitess battles; the usur-
patton of authority by military chieftains; the
interests of the white man both North and
South; and civilization everywhere, our imper-
lied liberties; justice and humanity, demand
that this conflict be terminated.
Resolved That believing the time for prating
about the "Glorious Union" is past, we can
only hope for a solution of our difficulties by
a cessation of hostiities and prompt offers of
compromise on honorable terms, and If need
be, the recognition of the independence of the
Confederate States.
These resolutions, in substance, reiterate
the main plank in the platform adopted by
the State Convention of the party last year;
but after quite an animated debate, they
were rejected-ayes, II; noes 81. The con.
vention adjourned until Saturday, the 10th
inst, TO nominate a county ticket.

Nor GIVEN UP.-The Union publishes a
a paragraph from the Democrat of last
Thursday, In which it was stated that "the
prospects of the Union Democracy carrying
this county were not very fattering," as an
evidence that the county has been "given
up,n In view of the facts that the Repub.
licans carried Nevada county last year by
majority of about fourteen hundred over
the Union Democracy, on the State ticket,
aud that nothing has since occurred to pro-
duce any material political changes, we
could not. with any regard for truth, have
set up claim that the prospects in this
county were any wise fattering. Since the
paragraph above referred to was written,
however, the prospects of the party have
somewhat improved; and If they continue
to improve for the next month as rapidly
as they have for the past week, we shall
have hopes of electiug portion, If not oil,
our county ticket. In any event, and how
ever dark may be the prospects, the Union
Democracy will make the best fight In their
power, and never give up the contest until
the last vote is deposited in the ballot
box.

LATEST EASTERN DIsPATCAES.-The Ma.
rysville papers. of this morning, contain
some Eastern dispatches of the I'd inst, but
the intelligence is not important. The la
test advices from POpe's command, state
that his division are steadily moving south
ward, towards Gordonsvllle. Detachments
of McClellan's army had crossed james riv-
er and destroyed houses on the opposite
shore which had afforded protection to the
rebels, at the point where they bad sheled
our shipping. The gunboats we're engaged
in shelling the houses and shore down the
river.

ALL 5ATIsFIED.-The nominations of the
Republican, or Union Administration Con-
veutiOn, last Saturday, appear to give great
satisfaction all round. The "GOthS and
Vandals" are satisfied because they sue
oeeded 10 nominating Birdseye; the straight
laced Republicans are satisfied because they
carried the Assembly ticket; and the Union
Democrats are grati6ed that the Republi-
cans have shown their hands, and proven
by their acts, that they raised the cry Of
"union of all loyal men" merely to increase
their party vote, and not with any intention
of giving any one outside of their own or.
ganization smell at an Office. The Union
Democracy will now support their own
ticket, and the talk of the necessity of q
fusion of the "lOyal elements" will be taken
ct its true valuation.

Z THE experiments at Shoeburyness, England,
with shot against iron target, have developed
some curious results. The appearance Of a
conical iron shot after having struck the iron
target, is like that of birch broom followed
in the center. When the doint of the cone
strikes the target, it is stopped, but the sur
rounding portions Of the shot move forward,
and slide over the center as core, and thus
produce the form described.

AUBURN RAILRoAD.-Our readers will be
pleased to learn that the grading is completed
on the first Division of thirteen miles on this
road. This brings it within six miles of Au-
burn. Nearly ten miles of track is laid, and
the work is progressing fayorably. Under the
excellent management Of MIR. Myers, the con-
tractor. this road has been constructed with the
rapidity unknown TO enterprises of the kind in
California, an evidence that the Company have
had the right man in the right place. The roUd
has been open for freight and passengers from
Folsom to Wildwood Station q mileS) for some
ten or twelve days, and is already receiving
considerable business. The remainder of the
division will be ready for business in few
weeks, when it must become An important
channel of trade-espccially TO the people OF
eastern Placer and Nevada, and northern Ell
Dorado. The road has engaged less Of public
attention than any other work of the kind in
the State-but the Company seems to have had
more faith in the work than talk, satisfied that
the road would make itself known when COM
pleted. This road is a strong bidder for large
share of the Washoe trade, that must certainly
seek this route upon the opening Of the Dutch
Flat Wagon road, a road that will be ready for
the next years business.-[ Placer Herald.
