A California REGIMENT.

There is some talk of raising regi-
ment of volunteers 10 California, to pro-
ceed directly to the East to take part 10
the war. From what We have heard we
think, If the matter was taken hold Of in
the right way, that full regiment could
be raised in the State, of men who would
equip themselves and pay their passage to
New York. One company at least, and
perhaps two, could be recruited in Nevada
county; and many who cannot go them
selves would furnish the outfit and pay the
expense of substitute. This State has not
been called upon for it's quota of troops un-
der the late calls, in consequence of the
great expense and delay that would
be occasiOned in transporting them East;
but in the present period of gloom aud dis
aster to the Government cause, many feel
that it is the duty of California to take
more direct part than che has been called
upon to do in the great work of maintain
ing the national integrity. Perhaps, if
regiment was raised and equipped, that
some arrangement could be made TO defray
the expense Of their transportation to the
seat OF war, either by the State, or by
means of public subscription. We notice
by the Downeville News that Col. Hunger.
ford, who has lately returned from the East
is moving in the matter OF raising one or
more regiment in this Stale. The News
says:
We understand that COL Hungerford, but
recently returned from the Army of the Poto-
mac has applied to the Governor for PERMITS
sion to raise one or more regiments of volun-
tears, to be conducted directly to the field in
Virginia. If at all within the power of Cover
nor Stanford, we have no doubt that the appli-
cation will be successful. With the assurance
that the men will be taken directly to the scene
of war, there will be no difficulty in procuring
enistments. The main difficulty last fall was,
that the volunteers expected what afterwards
occurred-that they would be kept in inactvi-
ty on this coast. Col, Hungerford has a repu-
tation as military man; has come directly
from the hard fought fields of the Peninsula,
and is desirous to return with regiment or
two Of California fighting men. Whoever goes
with him will have no difficulty in getting into
business, or in getting sight of the belligerent
elephant. We earnestly hope his application
may be successful. We don't think any mili-
tary leader could be found more competent
certainly none braver or more effectually tried
both in the hottest fires Of Mexico, and in Vir-
ginia.

EASTERN NEws.-A large amount Of in
telligence relative to the late battles near
Centerville has been telegraphed to the
Associated Press since Saturday last; but
it is made up mostly of reports brought by
individuals from the battle fields, aud not
Of very reliable character. We have al
ready published the accounts received of
the battles of Friday, August 29th, aud Of
Saturday the 30lh. There seems to have
been but little 6ghting on Sunday the 3lst,
but on the Monday the Federals relreated tC-
wards Washington, followed by the rebel
forces, and at latest dates were in nearly
the position they occupied last summer,
while the enemy are moving nortbward on
their right, with the view, it is supposed,
of crossing into Maryland at some point
above Washington. In battle that took
place on Monday, Sept lst, near Fairfax
Court House, Generals Kearney and Ste
vens were killed, and we have reports that
the rebel General Ewell had also been kill.
ed in some one Of the late battles. A Wash
ingtOn dispatch to the New York Tribune.
gives the Federal loss in killed, in the late
battles, at 1892, This is much heavier
loss in killed than the Federals sustained
during the six days fghting before Rich
mOnd. According to the statements of reb-
ell prisoners, the enemy's loss is far greater
than the exaggerated reports of losses on
our side.

WHAT JOIN JACOB AsroR sAYs.-We find

WHAT JoHN JACOB AsT0R sAYs.-We find
in an exchange the following reference to
John Jacob AstOr, the only son of the
wealthiesl man in America:
The millions of John Jacob Astor place him
above any selfish considerations such as govern
many of the "patriots" and Statesmen" of the
Simmons-Morgan stamp. He Joined McClel-
lan's staff several months ago through desire
to serve his country and risk his life in its de-
fence. He was with Mcclellan through all the
battles before Richmond and returned to New
York few days since. The Tribune gives us
his opinion of the treatment Mcclellan has re-
ceived through the medium of Stanton. 1t says
1--WE are well assured that an aid Of General
Mcclellan, fresh from that retreat-we mean
John Jacob Astor-has since been proclaiming
through our citv that the army was deliberately
sacrificed by political intrigue aimed at Gen.
McClellan!"

U. S. NoTRs.-The objections which are val
id against the paper money of the American
and French Revolutions, and which only the
stern necessities Ofthe times were sufficient to
overcome, do not all apply to our present finan-
cial system. Our paper money has real ba-
sis Of value; for it is based upon the resources
of the country, rendered available to the gov
ernment through the Tariff and Tax bills.
which constitute parts of ihe integral system.
We are protected against an over issue; for the
amount for which notes can be issued is defin-
itely settled by acts of Congress. We also
have practical provision for the redemption Of
these notes; for they are convertible into bonds
which have not only their interest paid in spe-
Gle, but are themselves payable in specie after
the lapse of few years.

REvKNGING A MURDER.-A Nashville cor
respondent writes as follows of the murder of
Gen. McCook, by guerrias, in Tennessee. At
the time of his murder he was travelling in an
ambulance, and suffering from wound. The
guerilla leader ordered the ambulance to stop,
the assassins at the same time surrounding 1t.
The vehicle was then upset and the sick
officer turned into the road. While on his
knees, helpless, sick, and pleading for quar-
ter, he was fired at by rutfian, and shot
through the side.
When the news of the murder became known
among the camps, the excitement was intense.
The Ninth Ohio, McCook's own regiment, on
learning of the assassination, marched back to
the scene ofthe occurrence, burned every house
in the neighborhood and laid waste the lands.
Several men who were implicated in the muir
der were taken out and hung to trees by the in
furiated soldiery.

GUARD MoBILE.-A correspondent of the
New York Post proposes that the remaining
citizens of the city who are liable to military
duty shall form modified guard to defend it
against all mohs or nsurrectionS; to hold the
forts and garrison them so as to release the
troops on duty there, and generally to act as
real army in maintaining order and Republican
institutions. There is but little doubt that an
organization of the kind is needed in that city,
If not in many others, as there is an element in
them which is always ready TO join riot or
revolution, however unjust or unlawful; and it
is With this element, of course, that rebel en-
issaries have tampered and will, on any favor
able occasion, incite it to do mischief.

A RUMOR.> "A Washington dispatch of
the 9th inst, mentions a rumor that Gen.
Pope had been relieved of his command, at
his Own request, in order TO bring charges
against Gen. FitzjOhn Porter, Gen. Sumner
and General of artillery, for disobeying
orders There is probably no truth in the
rumOr. Two days later advices say moth
ing about II; and besides. II would not be
necessary for Pope to throw up his COM

ACAvAIRY FIuBr.-A dispatch to the
Associated Press gives the following ac-
count of cavalry fight, which occurred at
the battle near Centerville, on August
SOtb:
After severe cannonading, Buford's brigade
of cavalry we're ordered to the extreme left to
recoinnoiter and guard against any attempt to
turn the left, which movement was threatened
by the enemy. Riding beyond our LETT, where
the infantry was formed close behind our bat
teries which were playing on the enemy with
great precision, our cavalry reached shght
eminence, when the enemy were seen coming
up in force along the line of the adjacent woods.
A rebel battery was seen to whirl into position.
Then came storm of shell into the midst oil
our cavalry, followed by canister and grape.
Long lines of rebel infantry could also plainly
be seen, hurrying up take position. Soon 9TH
er rebel batteries were brought up and opened
on the left. Our cavalry were forced to retire
behind a low ridge, but clouds of dust revealing
their positions, the rebels continued shelling
them. Another change of position was made.
A report here reached Buford that the rebel
cavalry under Stewart were preparing to make
a charge. Buges sounded and Buford's bril-
gade went over the hills and met the advancing
foe. AS our men approached them the rebel
cavalry discharged double barreled shot guns at
them and met US at full charge. Our men
broke the enemy's line and pursued them. The
rebels rallied in splendid style and again DASH
ed forward. Buford met the charge, and again
their line was broken, and our cavalry prepared
to follow up the advantage, when the rebels op-
ened fire upon them from batteries and mus
kerry. compelling them to retire.

HOAxED.-The people of San Francisco
were badly hoaxed Ou Sunday evening. A
report was circulated that the FederaIs had
gained great victory on the Potomac, in
honor of which guns we're fred, tar barrels
burned, houses illuminated, and several
persons who gave utterance to disloyaI sem
timents we're roughly handled. Under the
patriotic impulse, over $4,000 was sub
scribed for the relief of wounded soldiers.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-09-09

FROM THE RANKs.-There is a loud cry in
the Eastern papers in favor Of offering the
new levies of troops principally from the ranks
of the old soldiers. Says the Boston Post on
this subject: We are true Republicans, and
believe that merit should have the places of re-
sponsibility and honor. Therefore, we would
speak a word for the advancement of privates
from the ranks, who have had their qualities
tested on the field of battle. 1t is no boy play
be to soldieritneeds metal courage ,manliness
and all these are nothing without experience.
1t is the most universally applied Of all prin-
ciples, that man must have his trade before
he can use it; but in our army, improvised for
the occasion from the masses Of peaceful citi-
zens, we have gone too much upon the prin-
cpe of influence, and not sufficiently upon that
of merit. This error has tumbled disaster upon
our heads. We must awake and correct it.

The LATEST NEws.-The Transcript is
sned an extra this foresoon, giving East
eru dates to the 9Th yesterday. The
news is startling. A rebel force estimated
ut 40, 900 strong, has crossed the Potomac
and occupy Frederick, Maryland. This
town is not more than twenty miles from

the Increment of the rebel forces indicates
a design to invade that State, which from
present appearances will be successful.

that there would be, il they could once get

cannot be denied that this is period OF

lie seems trembling 10 the balance. But
we have faith that oil will yet be well, and
that bright day will emerge from the
present night.
