Late on Saturday night after the ad-
journment Of the Convention sine die. the
senior Of the DEMoCRAT called at the Mag
nOlia to see Judge Murray. Mr.. BrOder-
lex met us and asked us il Crosette had
had . conversation with US. We replied,
no, sir. He then added, "he promised to
do so, and must" He then stated that
Crosette had received the nomination un-
der the distinct understanding that he
was to share the profits Of the State Print
ing with the MOUNTAIN DEHocRAT, Times
and Transcript and some other paper,
This agreement had been made without
our knowledge or consent and against our
wishes. Mr.. Broderick then stated he
would have the matter attended to before
he left Sacramento, and he intended to
leave for San Francisco the next day at 2
o'clock. He would get Mr.. CONFESS or
Mr.. Redding to see to it.
On Sunday morning Mr.. CONFESS and
Mr.. Fitch, now of the San Francisco BuL-
Ietin, called on us at the Orleans Hotel,
and made substantially the same state
ment to US Mr.. Broderick had. A paper
was drawn up for the contracting par

the DENOCRAr, to sign. We declined and

him. DR.. johnson Price was in his room

Arthur St. Clair Denver, Maj. G. w.
Hook and Col. John Walton Of the offer
and our determination to refuse it. Den

US to reflect upon the matter and consult
Mr.. January before going Inrtner.
We left Sacramento for Placerville on
Monday morning. and on our arrival nome
told Mr.. January of the offer, and the
course we had pursued. He fully Endorsed
all we had done; and on the same evening
we wrote to Mr.. BrOderick. thanking him
for his generosity, and courteOusly refused
"to share the profits arising from the
State printing" This is plain state
ment Of facts, well known to gentlemen in
this State, and we can refer to the facts
with pride. Our part in the transaction
was honorable, disinterested and indepen-
dent; 0FOsette's was disreputable, selfish,
per6diOus aud cringing. Is it reasonable
to suppose that we would reject what was

WAsHIKGToE, June 10, p. a4-DispaHches
of this date from Gen. HalIeck have been
received at the War Department. They
present no new features with regard to
Beauregard's army, which Is supposed to
still remain in the vicinity of OkolonaV
Overtown and Columbus.
Dispatches from the army of the Poto-
mac, dated 2 o'clock this evening, indicate
that all is quiet in front of Richmond.
Gen. DIX informs the Department that
the military telegraph has been completed
to Norfolk and Suffolk.
The correspondent of the Times, in the
army of the Potomac, on the evening of the
18Th, say the right wing of the army to-
day was attacked by the rebels about IL
o'clock, who succeeded in capturing nearly
all the pickeis of Co. Fl, 9th Regiment of
Cavalry.
A scouting party of Co. was attacked
about the same time by large rebel force,
but made good fight. On the retrent our
small force burned and destroyed q fence,
&C. The rebels succeeded il taking a few
prisoners. Our forces fetseaied to the
Chickahomiuy, but the rebels did not fol-
low. The rebels now bold position ut Old
Church. but probably will be driven from
il tomorrow.
Another correspondent, dating Fair Oaks,
on the rebels, driving them out of some de-
serted houses, but being reinforced, they
again advanced, and burnt the houses. Five
of the Excelsiors were killed. Several of
the rebels were seen to fall. An attack is
momentsrily expected, and wagons, ambu-
lances, etc; have been sent to the rear, and
the troops kept under arms.
The Tribune's correspondent, under date
Of " Savage's Station, June Ii" says the
down train from our advance last evening
to the White House was attacked by the
enemy four miles from the latter station,
which is the terminus of the road. This
rod Is the principal machine, which sup
plies our army with food and ammunition,
and which rapidly moves troops from the
transports to the front. It is indispensable
to the army
1t wss soldierly audacity which led a
squadron of 100 rebel cavalry around our
right down to the track, and there awaited
just about moonrise for the train. A rail
previously removed secured the stoppege of
the cars, and cutting the telegraph wires,
secured the enterprise from publicity aud
interruption. When the expected train
came opposite the ambush it was fred upon.
Six men in the cars and on the roof are
said to have been killed. A Colonel and
Major, supposed 10 have been on the train,
are said to be missing. A Captain aud
eight privates are positively said to have
been captured. The cavalry finished their
work by burning part of the track and dam
aging the road so extensively that not a
car traversed the line from P. n, till IL
o'clock the next day. This was bad
enough in its direct and positive effect, not
to speak Of its suggestions; but more re-
mains.

New YoBK, June I6.-The Times Port
Royal correspondent under date of the 18th,
states that Brigadier general Wright landed
at Seabrook, May 3lst. The 9th Connects.
cut landed first, and had a skirmish with
the rebels June LIST, drove them across the
river and took possession of the bridge on
the 1st and 81. Generals Hunter, Beuham
and Stevens, with a good force, went to
Stouo Inlet, accompanied by seven gunboats,
and landed on James Island without oppo-
sition. On the 9Th, two companies of the
Round Head regiment penetrated within
the enemy's lines and had their retreat cut
of, but the 9Th Michigan succeeded in re-
lieving them and drove the enemy, who
retrelfed. Capt Klyne Of the Round Head,
and about a dCzsn privates were taken

The latest Information is, that last Tues

of seventeen killed and six prisoners. Our
loss was three killed and thirteen wounded.
Next day the 9th Michigan and 18th New
York charged on a rebel battery half a
mile in advance of the former position, and

OAtuTuhy 6NcDlnR, June "a
The rebels yesterday, after drawing from
the Old Church q squadron of the Fifth
Cavalry, ,pFocetded 0urffck-S LANDING
on the Psmunky river, about four miles
| above the White House, where they burnt
two schooners and some agons, and then
drove off the mules. Their conduct is rep
resented as barbarous, having killed several
of our teamsters without any necessity
those who failed to make their escape were
taken prisoners. From here they proceed
ed to Queenshslps Station, four miles from
White House, with the view of burning the
railroad bridge. A train which was pass
ing down at the time, ives fred into, kill
ing two and wonndinR several.
A Colonel belonging to the Excelsior
Brigade was then taken prisoner, but sue
ceeded in escaping during the night. =
A paymaster juded from the train and
hid in the woods until morning, leaving
81 900 in the cars. The train never
stopped, but passed on to White House.
After destroying the telegraph wire they
proceeded to Baltimore Cross Roads, near
New Kent G. H., on the way to Richmond,
crossing the ChickAhominy between Bot
tom Bridge and James river about o'clock
this morning.
The force that accomplished this was
composed of 500 cavalry and six pieces of
artillery, under Gen. Stuart, most of'wbom
were residents of this locality, and knew
the roads. At Old Church the rebels had
in reserve six regiments Of iofantry with
artillery. AS Eoon as the facts were
known, pursuit by cavalry was immediate.
~ ordered, but the enemy having had much
of start. only Eve were captured. i
Several arrests have been made to-day of
citizens within our lines on suspicion of
giving information to the enemy.
A Richmond paper states that three
thousand prisoners taken by Gen. Jackson
from Gen. Banks, left on Wednesday. for
Salisbury, NJ @. It also states that OF the
742 of our wounded that fell into their
hands at the battle of Fair Oaks, nine have
since died, and the balance are in the Lib
erty Prison Hospital.
