EASTERN NEws.-The Associated Press, OF
yesterday published dispatches mp to Satur-
day, bnt the news is not of special interest.
The people of Culpepper, Orange and Mad
ison counties, Virginia, are said. to beheart-
lily sick of the war, and the prospect OF
starvation stares them in the face. Their
stock has been driven off by the Confeder-
ates their wheat crop is almost destroyed
by the rust, and now Gen. Pope's army is
being quartered among Ithem, with orders
TO appropriate every thing they find not
absolutely needed for the sustenauce Of the
inhabitants. Truly the Virginian are get
ting terribly punished for their share in the
crime of rebellion. The guerrllas have
lately been committing depredatiOns 10
Northern Alaba ma, destroying quartermas-
ter and commissary stores, burning cotton,
etc. 1t is said they discriminate in favor
of secessonists- allowing them to sell their
cotton to Union men, and then destroying
the property after it is paid for. AT Mem
phis, on the 22d, 24O persons took the oath
Of allegiance, and 12O were granted permits
to go South. The report that the rebelP, n
considerable numbers, bad crossed the Mis-
sissippi into Arkansas, is confirmed. 1t is
supposed TO be their iotentiOn to reinforce
Hindman. Gen. Curtis was still al Helena,
Arkansas. and bad forbidden the purchase
of cotton near his command, that article
being 10 the hands of secessionists.

DEATH OF Ex president VAN BUREN,
The telegraph announces the death of Mar
Tin Van Baren, eighth President of the Uni
ted States, which took place at Undertook,
New York, on the Thursday last, the 24th
inst. He was born on the 9th Of Decem.
Der, 1882, and had consequently nearly
completed bis eightieth year. For quar-
ter Of a century Mr.. Van Buren exercised a
controlling influence Ia the political af-
fairs of this county. He held seat in the
u. S. Senate from 1921 to 1928, when he
was elected Governor of New York, but
resigned In March 1929. to accept the posi-
ton of Secretary of State in JacksOn's
Cabinet. In 1881, on the dissolution OF
Jackson's Cabinet, Van BureD was sent
Minister to England, but the Senate for pO-
ltical spite, rejected his nomination, and
on his return in the spring Uf 1882, the
Democrats nOmi mated him for Vice Presi-
dent on the ticket with Jackson, to which
position be was elected. He succeeded to
the Presidency in 1886, but was defeated
by Harrison in 1910, and has since lived in
Tetirementat at bis country seat, LindeDwald,
Aear Undertook. He was, perhaps, the
shrewdest politician this country ever pro-
duced, and,was mainly Instrumental in Or

TREAsURY NorEs-A Federal officer

TREASURY NOTEs-A Federal officer
brought TO this coast, by the last steamer,
U. S. Treasury notes to the value of ST..
100000. These notes have been made le-
gal tender by act Of Congress, and are to
be used for paying of Government dues on
this coast. They will, Of course, soon be
in circulation 10 this State. AT the latest
telegrapbic advices from New York, they
were at a discount Of IA TO Is cents on the
dollar, as compared with gold; but as the
act authorizing their issue provides for
their conversion into six per cent. bonds.
the interest payable in specie,Ait is believed
they cannot long remain at much below The
specie standard. The s. F. Journal, in re-
ferring to the reception of these notes in
California, says:
The speculative and selfish action Of bankers
and note shavers here, as well as at the East,
will have considerable effect on the market

great endeavor of every good and loyal citizen
to maintain the credit of Government paper g..

as good as the Government itself; the entire
resources Of the country, in material, industry
and intellect, are pledged for their redemption.
Owing to the exigencies of its present condition
the Government is compelled either to issue
these notes, or to borrow money on bonds at
great sacrifice, and high rate of interest The
borrowing process would inaugurate high rates
of taxation throughout all time, and would
compel us to work for the benefit of English
and French capitalists who are now doing so
much to ruin our country. BY the means Of
these notes the people become creditors Of their
own Government-they trust themselves; and,
when in time, the notes are redeemed, the
money is all in the country

REcor.LEcrIoNs OF THE REBELLToN.-A
correspondent writing from McClellan's
army gives vivid picture of the desOla-
ton made by the war:
When the war is over, and the people of thas
part Of Virginia return to their now desOlate
homes, it will take generations 70 erase tAe
recollection of rebellion which has bPeN to
them particularly so fatal. Take the road from
White House to Fair Oaks, and even beyond
it, and every where are the almost Ineradicaae
signs of war. Thousands Of spots mark where
burned the Union camp fires, sad ruiAed
dwellings tell how fercely poured the ba4ls
from destructive cannon. All around, the
grand old woods. majectic with agE, and state
" by their towering elevation, shew where the
soldiers axe has been at work. The rail fen.
ces, so artistically made, exist no more, and
many planter OH returning 10 his home VIII
find the muddy roads altered into excellent
corduroy" paths, the foun6ati9D being she
rails OF which the aforesaid fences were con-
structed. Innumerable graves, too, where
friendand foe rest side by side, in their eter-
nal sleep, with numberless trophies Of many a
bloody battle to be treasured centuries henee
in dread remembrance of the awful past, as a
striking feature of the desolating picture. The
beautiful Peninsula of Virginia seems to have
become but great Potter's Field-the COM
mon burial ground of a nation.

We yesterday met a friend from Silver City
with his hair shaved close to his scalp. 1t, his
head, was suggestive, and we asked him if he
was not afraid that he might be arrested as one
of the escapedC. S. A. California State Assas-
sins). He replied that about thirty of the boys
of Silver had just had SheiT beads shaved a day
or two before the outbreak at San Quentin and
he did not think there was one Of them but

THE FLAG AT MEMPHs.-The Provost
Marshal of Memphis has issued the follow

toward loyal citizens, will no longer be tolera-

who have placed the American flag over their

similar to that held in Nevada on Saturday,

REBEL DOINGs IN KENTUCKY.-The spirit
Of secession has been demonstrated anew in
Owen county, Ky. The rebel party of the coun-

peace gathering. The meeting was held, and
the proceedings were satisfactory. After the
meeting, however, party of the SecessiOaists
hid themselves in the woods, fired upon party
of Union men going home, and killed five Of
them The country has been secured for the
murdeTers and it is hoped every one will be
brought to justice. This is the sort of peace
the rebel sympathizers offer to Kentucky. and
there will be no peace until their bloodthirsty
local leaders are hung, and put out Of harms

The telegraphic advices which we publish this
morning from Washington, throw food OF
light upon the late ministerial military consul
tations in that quarter, especially upon Order
22d, from the War Department, defining the
enforcement of the Confseation Act. 1t thus
appears that between Republican Radicals and
Conservatives, the Cabinet has been upon the
verge of complete dissolution; that Seward had
made up his mind to resign if his conciliatOry
and the magnanimous counsels were to be SUI
perseded by the violent measures demanded by
the Abolition fanatics that his retirement
would have led to the entire reconstruction Of
the Cabinet; that to avoid such embaTassments
at this crisis, and especially to retain the inval-
liable services of Seward in the State Depart
ment, the President has resolved to harmonize,
as far as possible, the Confscation and Militia
Acts with the conservative war policy which
