TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. IL, 1862.

STEAMER NEVADA SUNK.-The steamer
Neyada was sunk near Rio Vista on Friday
evening. She left Sacramento at two
O'Clock in the afternoon, and about four
o'clock, while endeavoriDg to pass through
what is known as the ''short BEND" in
eteambOat slough, she struck snag, aud
the concussion was SO great that, to use the
expression of passenger, she actually re-
bounded to the opposite bank. At this
time the New World was about mile be-
hind. and as she came up the Nevada ives
drifting 10 the current, but as those on
board asked for no assistance the World
proceeded on to the Bay. Soon after 1t was
ascertaiued that the Nevada was leaking
badly, aud as there was no place to land
the passengers, The pumps were kept to
work and she continued on down the river.
In an hours run she reached Rio Vista, and
1t being then discovered that the pumps
could not keep her free, she was run ashore
at Washington Point, directly opposite the
town. The current swung her round leav.
ing the bow up stream, and she soon set
tied to the bottom, the stern being 10 deep
water aud the bow out. There were about
two hundred passengers Ou board, who
were taken off by the ChrysOpOlis. ON her
upward trip, and carried back to Sacrament
to. The position of the Nevada is said to be
most critical as there is danger other break

REMOVING THE GEM PROM SACRAMENTO. }.
About 80 men have been at work on the
recollected that this vessel was carried through
a crevasse in the American river into the CEN
ter of Sacramento city, at a time when the
flood there was about its highest. There the
Gem stuck, while the lessening waters and an
extensive deposit Of sand around her, effectu-
ally prevented the vessel being foated back to
the river. Efforts are now being made to re-
move her, and with that purpose a large ouanr
tity Of timber has been landed on the ground.
The Union says that the work advances sue
ccessfully, and will probably be completed with

CHARLESTON HARBoR.-It is the general
impression that the sinking of the old yes
sells in the principal entrance 10 Charleston
will forever ruin the harbor. A writer in
Saturdays Union, however, takes differ
ent view. lie says the sinking of the yes
tels in the tortuous and narrow channels
closes the port for the war, and makes the
blockade effectual, but does not permanent
ly iniure the harhor. A new channel can
be cut with little expense at the close of
the war, and the entrance will'be less dan.
generous than it was before.

GREAT FIRE AT KANAGAwA, JAPAN.-A
private letter, dated Kanagawa, December 18th,
written by an American resident there to a
friend in San Francisco, brought by the school,
Aer Ida d. Rodgers, says: "Since wrote you
last we have lost nearly three-fOurths Of our
Japanese town by fire. 1t caught one night,
while the wind was high, and soon devasted a
large extent of buildings. The Japanese gazed
at It in very stupid manner, and beyond saw
ing a few mats and some lacQuered ware they
let the flames do its work"

reads as follows:
+" Provided that the name OF evev such
person shall remain on the master roll. and

bound thereafter to perform military duty

The following imperfections are proper
causes for disability
Wounds Of the head, which injure the fac

ment Of hearing. speech or vision anchylo-
ais or active disease OF any OF the larger
joints the presence OF pulmonary disease

The same rule applies in cases OF exemp'
