"SMALL LIEs."-II. W. Bccchcr, in a re
cent sermon upon taithtulncss in small things
said:
Il do not know any buyer that pays such
prices as the devil pays when he buys men.
Here is man who sells himself for about
one-eighth of pound of chicory in II pound
of coffee. lie prepares his commodity with
lie and retaiS it with another lie. Every
time man commits known dishonesty,
he sells his soul, and thousands are selling
themselves by little driblets And l think
that Il man who sells himself rhus cheats
himself No, he cheats the devil. The
devil pays too much for him. | am inform
ed that before the commutation system was
abandoned by the ferry company men of
property and standing in society, would
boldly declare that they had a communication
ticket in their pocket when they had none,
for the sake of going through without pay

devil. l do not know what he does with
such men. 1t is awful TO be chief magistrate

The San Francisco papers contain full
details of the disaster to the Pacific mail
steamer Golden Gate. From some of the
statements made by the survivors of the
wreck we copy the following interesting
incidents
LADY'S EXPERIENCES.
MIS-. Cough, first-cabn passenger, says :
Most of the passengers in our boat,
finding we were drifting to sea, began
| screaming in the widest manner. Some
! tried to repeat snatches of prayers, in the
midst of which they broke into wild and
| blasphemous language. We were now a
good way out to sea, and saw boy and a
large fat man swimming towards our little
craft. Unable totakc them in we requested
that they should cling to the boat The
! boy who was one OF the hands on board
the steamer, did 50 for some distance but
the fat man, who was on a life prcScrvcr.
wanted to come in, and had to be beaten
back by a rope, as the chances wcrc9sid we
let him, our already swampcd vessel must
go under water. He hung on for two hours
and half
"We now saw boat making for us. the
first thing like relief seen. When the boat
hailed Us, not man on board was able to
rcply--no one, in fact, for some time being
able to manage the boat all weeping, pray
ing and yelling, showing the most ahicct
coWardcc-nOt one on board having ability
or nerve enough even to bail out the boat
The boat which came alongside contained
about eight persons. | got into this boat
and we started for shore, they having placed
me nj the stern to pilot them. The sun was
just setting, and We had rOWcd about an
hour when we discovered boat Signal2ng
US with Il white Nag. We waited till She
came up, when some one '5n board cried ont
Hold on, that's the first mate: were all
right-he knows the shore On making
inquiries, we found the boat was full of
drowning men, and swampcd. The first
mate said it was impossible to land on
account of the breakers, and that he would
have to steer for Manzanillo-that it was
only twelve hours row. He rose up in the
boat with an oar in his hands, and said that
he only came along for women and children
and the first man that stirred he would brain
with the oar.

thrilling story of the scenes on board the
steamer. As soon as the flames were dis
ccrncd Captain Hudson ordered all persons
forward, but so rapid was the progress of
the fire that communication between the
bow and stern was almost instautanCOuSy

The LOSSES AT PITTsBURG LANDNG.-On
Saturday evening last, Gen. Wright receiv-
ed dispatch from Major Allen, Of General
Halleck's staff, stating that decisive bat
tie had been fought on the Tennessee; that
our loss was flteen thousand; that the enc.
my were repulsed with loss of tbirty.GVe
thousand. This estimate Of the losses,
coming from military men, is not so likely
TO be exaggerated as though itwas made
ty newspaper reporters. The number, of
course, refers to the killed, wounded and
missing, and in such battle as Pittsburg
Landing, it would be several days before
even the victorious army could make up
correct list of their losses. During the two
days fighting many soldiers must have got
separated from their regiments, and not
being present at the first roll.cal were re-
ported missing. Still, as 1t was an open
field fight, and the combatants on the Grst
day numbered about 100000 and on the
second day not less than 100000, the slapgh-
ter must have been great.

Tnn NEms.-The telepranhic intellIrence

The NEws.-The telegraphic intelligence
published in our columns to-day-a portion
Of which was given in our "extra" this
morning-will be found deeply interesting
There are three separate accounts of the
battle at Piitsburg Landing, which agree in
all essential particulars, and there can now
be no doubt that the Federals gained
complete victory, though at great loss of
life. The report received, that Gen A. S.
johnson was killed, is confirmed. The lat
est account gives the Federal loss at 10000.
in killed and wounded, and that of the ene-
my at $4,000. The fact that orders have
been sent to Chicago aud Louisville, to pre-.
pare for 5000 wounded soldiers, is perhaps,
the best evidence of the number of Federals
wounded In the battle.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-04-17

FROM THE SouTH.- The Los Angeles
News, of late date, complains bitterly of
the course pursued by the military authOri-
ties in that section of the State. 1t alleges
that Secessionists are allowed to utter trea.
sonable sentiments without check; that
treason has been rampant aud is heard ia
thunder tones on receipt of news of any
misfortune to the Government cause; that
armed men are eucamped'at various places;
and numbers of rebel sympathlsers are de-
parting for Texas without being molested.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-04-17

Col. ELLIs.-We are informed that there
is two Colonels named Ellis of the Illinois
regiments; consequently, there is no Oer-
tainty that the Colonel of that name, killed
at Pittsburg Landing, was Eff. W. Ellis,
formerly of Nevada. Col. Ellis was mem-
Der of the Assembly from this county. aud
not of the Senate, as enormously stated in
our last.
