GEO. D. PRENTICE IN MEMORY OF
HIS REBEL SON
From the Louisville Journal, 2d.I

From the Louisville Journal, 3D.
William Courtland Prentice died on
Monday last at Augusta, Kentucky. of
wounds received in the conflict at that
place on the preceding Saturday. He
perished in the cause of the rebellion.
1t is not in the columns of a news
paper, it is only in the family circle or
in the hush of solitude, that the emo
tions of q parent over such an event
should have utteraDce. The tears OF
weeping eyes and fast-trickling drops
of bleeding hearts are not for the pub
lie gaze. The deepest agonies should
be content to fold their somber wings
IN the soul. Consolation could not
come from the worlds sympathy; it
can be looked for only from God and
his angel Time. Nay, there are griefs
that time itself has no power to allay or
sootbe, griefs that like running streams
are deepening their channels forever.
VIM. Courtland Prentice was no com.
mon young man. He was remarkable
iu his powers aud in his temperament.
A model of manly beauty, be had ex-
traordinary intellectual energy, strong
thirst for strange and curious knowl-
edge, and deep passion for all that
is sublime and beautiful in poetry and
nature. He was generous, manly.
high hearted, and of Q courage that no
mortal peril, come in what form it
might. could deunt. He exulted in
looking destruction face to face in all
its ways. He loved wild and danger
GUS adventures for the very dangers
sske. His eagle spirit lived among
the mountain crsgs and shouted back
to the shouts of the storm. Although
kind, unselfish, and humane, he was
impetuous, passionate, and of uneon-
querable prejudices. He was not un-
frequently unjust in his Judgments.
and he permitted nothing to stand be.

;ween him and the execution Of his pur-

tween him and the execution Of his pur-
poses.
This young man, IL he had always
directed his energies judicicusly. could
have made himself distinguished or
nament in any profession Of life. He
might have been an able and honored
statesman in the service Of the republic.
But an intense Southern sympathy, in
spite of the arguments, the remonstrsn-
ces, and entreaties of those who dearly
loved him, made bim an active rebel
against bis country. And after brief
five weeks service in the rebel ranks,
he fell, soon to breathe out his fiery
life, receiving meanwhile, far away from
his family, the kindly ministrations of
those against whose cause bis strong
right arm had been raised. o, if he
had fallen in his country's service. .fal-
len with his burning eyes fixed in love
and devotion upon the flag that for
more than three-fourths of a century
hes been a star of worship to his an
cestors, bis early death, though still
terrible, might have been borne by
fathers heart; but, alssl the reflection
that he fell in armed rebellion against
that glorions old banner now the en-
blem Of the greatest and holiest cause
the world ever knew, is full of desola-
ton and almost of despair.
And yet we shall love to think of
Courtland Prentice, that brave and
noble though misguided youth, during
the little remnant of our lives. Our
love for him undimmed by tears and
grief, is and will remain an amaranthine
flower upon the grave of our buried
years.

THE EASTERN News, which will be found
in another column, contains number of
items of interest. Fort Henry, which has
lately been erected by the rebels on the
Tennessee river, was captured on the 9th
instant, by the Federal gunboats, after a
sharp bombardmsnt. The report, received
some two weeks ago, that this fort had been
captured was incorrect, but there is no qpes-
tion now that 1t has fallen, into Federal
hands. One of the gunbOats was disabled
10 the bombardment. A large land force,
under Gen, Smith, arrived OF the fort two
hours after the surrender, ald II isrepOrt'
ed, have taken possession Of the Memphis
and Ohio railroad fifteen miles above the
fort. A battle Is expected soon near Spring
field, Mo-, between the forces under Sigel
aud Price. The latter is said to have assnr-
ed his men that they must either fight or sur
render; bot Price has escaped from SO many
traps, that we have little hopes Of his being
caught now. Great activity Is exhibited
in the fitting out OF DaVal expeditions for
operations on the Southern coast.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-02-11

MoNTEREY.-It seems that the town of
Monterey has not escaped the ravsges of
the floods. A clip issued from the Office
of the Monterey Union, Of January S1st,
says.
we happened to visit the spot where once
iourished the Monterey Union, and yielding TO
the subterFanean cries we SET six men to cxca-
waiting the sand, and upon reaching the depth
Of ten feet, found part 81 the contents of the
Office; and on inquiry learned the fact that on
the llth inst, a food from the Pajaro river and
Salsepuades creek had submerged Office and
contents. On the Goth, before our return, the
press was drawn out, but a second rise on the
day following buried the rest Of the material,
which we will exhume in two days more.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-02-11

IMPORTANT FROM MExICO.-The steamship
Golden Age, which lately arrived at San
Francisco, brings some important intelli-
gence from Mexico:
A courier had arrived at Acapulco by way Of
the city Of Mexico, from Vera Cruz, bringing
intelligence of the defeat Of the Spanish army
in a severe battle at the National Bridge, near
Vera Cruz. The battle lasted FIVE hours. The
Mexican forces were commanded by General
Uraga.
Passengers by the Golden Age state that the
Mexican authorities had dismantled the fort at
Acapulco, 6urying the larger guns and planting
the smaller ones on the hills in the rear Of the
town No provisions will be allowed to be
brought into the city when the combined fleets
shall arrive. This Is about the first of military
operations on the Western coast in connection
with the tTiparite INVASION.
The steamship St. Louis took on board at
MaDzanillo, on her downward trip, the unusual
large shipment of$l 400 900 in treasure. This
large amount, shipped this way, was in conse-
quence Of the disturbed state Of Mexico on the
Eastern coast.

The salmon I,lver NIInes.

Mr.. Jacob Hays, Of this place, bas shown
us private letter received from MI. Rob
ert L. Cavitt, dated at Walla Walla, Dec.
4th. The writer went from Yreka to the
Nez Perces mines last sumner, and after
prospecting for some time without finding
any claims to suit him, he finally started
for the Salmon river mines where be arriv-
on the 18th of October. 10 company with
two others, he took up claims, and they had
been making from two 10 five ounces each,
per day. Another com pany adjoining them
we're making from Eve to eight ounces each
per day, and some Of the big claims were
turning out daily eight TO Ten pounds of gold
The mines are all worked with rockers, as
the country is too fat for sluicing. About
three weeks previous TO the date Of the let
ter, the writer left for Walla Walla for pro-
visions, with the iHtent tiOn Of returning i'm
medialely. Two towns have been started
on the Salmon river, one called Florence
City, and the other Nevada. The mines are
about two hundred miles from Walla Wal
la, and prov isiOns sell at a dollar pound.
Mr.. Cavlt advises his friend to come, aud
tells him TO bring good rife, as q war
with the Snake Indians Is inevitable, and
some Of the Nez Perces are troublesome.
Two companies have ALREADY been organiz-
ed on Salmon River, to be prepared in case
of an attack.
The route to these mines is by way Of
Portland, Oregon, thence by steamer TO the
DalIes, thence by stage TO Walla Walla.aBd
from there 10 Salmon river on horseback.
AdventuTers will have to purchase horses
at Walla WaIiA- In the latter part OF Nov
there was from three to four feet OF snow
on Salmon River and considerable on the
route between there and Walla Walla. The
route will hardly be in condition for trav'
ing before April or May.
