SAN Francisco PoITTICs.-The sea of our
local politics is still apparently unruflied,
though there appears to the sbrewd observ-
er unmistakable signs of violent agitation
soon to be manifest. To day, the Peoples Is
Committee closes the door against all can.
didates; TO morrow night the Union Demo-
Gratis meet to place their horses on the track;
and the Republicans are planning to win
the race, if posi- be. In certain quarters
there is disposition 10 fuse the Repub.
licans and Union Democrats, for the pur-
pose of defeating the Peoples nominees,
but, then again, that disposition is strong
ly battled against by members of both par.
ties. The probabilities are that we shall
have three tickets in the field for local Of
Gcers, neither one Of which will amount TO
much if elected. OF late. we notice grow
ing disposition among Union Democrats to
preserve their party organization intact; IN
looking at the matter from u political stand
point, we think this disposition evinces
more real sa gacity than is usually display
ed by the leaders of that party Evening
Journal.

A contrabnnd Operation.

The following order shows how Gen Cur
tis deals with contrabauds:
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE SOUTHWEST,
Cross Timbers, March 9th, 1862.
Special Order No. 1851
Charley Morton, Hamilton Kennedy.
Alonzo Lewis. colored men, formerly
slaves employed in the rebel service, and
taken as a contraband of war, are hereby
cOnfscated; aud not being needed in the
public service, are permitted to PASS the
pickets of this command Northward, with
out let or hindrance, and are forever eman-
cipated from the service of masters who al
lowed them to aid in efforts to break up the
Government -four country.
BY command of Major General Samuel r.
Curtis. II. z. CURTIS.
Assistant Adjutant General
This order is brief aud TO the purpose,
says st. Louis Democrat 1t is within the
letter Of the Act of Congress of August
1861. It's effect is to set those slaves free
beyond any lawful reclamation hereafter.
The order being one which il was unQues-
lionably competent for Gen. Curtis TO make
as military commander, has the force and
and efficacy ofa judicial decree TO these men
and having thus become legally free, they
can never become lawfully enslaved again
unless they voluntarily incur the penalties
prescribed against free blacks in some of
the slave States.
The precedents are abundant to establish
principle which is ample warrant for Gen.
Curtis. These precedents are found in the
conduct of General Gaines. General Tay-
lor and General Jessup in the Florida war,
and show that slaves, by military law and
usage in this country, belonging to all ene-
my are belligerents; slaves, men, women
and children, when captured. are prisoners
of war, to be set ~ or otherwise disposed
of by the commander.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-05-10

The ONERFLowED LANDS. 1t is general
~ believed that much of the overnowed
lands along the river bottoms have been
forever ruined by the deep deposits Of sand.
The California Farmer says on the sub.
ject:
In many places along the banks Of the
Sacramento, the food will prove really ben.
eGcal to the land; for where it has made a
deposit Of three, four, six. or eight inches
of sand, when this is plowed init willprove
very beneficial, increasing the fertility aud
value Of the land. There are many places
however, where, by very large deposit Of
several feet, the land for present uses is
nearly destroyed. We would suggest TO
all. the experimenting upon this kind Of
soil, by planting melons, cucumbers, beans
or peas, if principally sand; if a richer
substance, plant beets, sugar cane, pota-
toes, and pea nuts, the latter especially.

HENNEss Passive learn the following
particulars concerning the Henuess Pass
route. from a gentleman who started on
foot for California by that road last week.
He struck snow first on the Dog Valley Hill
and found ii from four to six feet deep be-
tween that and Sardne Valley. 1t would
be impossible to get over Dog Valley Hill
with animals al present, as the snow is very
soft: even foot travelling is very laborious
and difficult At Sardine Valley he was
forced TO turn back; there was no possible
way of proceeding except on snow shoes.
Snow between Eureka aud Sardine Valley
is represented as being from eight to ten
feet deep, by party Of men, who came
over from the Grst mentioned place on snow
shoes. This party, consisting of five men,
was five days in getting to Sardine Valley.
The snow, however, is going off very fast,
and should the present warm weather con-
tinue, pack animals might be able to cross
in three or four weeks, and teams in six
weeks. Some Of the owners of stations
wintered in the mouniains.-[Terrtorial
Enterprise.

SPADGNG OUT THE GoLD.-A Salmon river
miner writes to the Oregon Sentinel as fol.
lows, concerning the modus operandi Of min.
ing 10 that country:
The ground here is very curious, a thick
sod extends down TO the gravel. ShoVels
aud spades are used altogether. Very lit
tie use here for pick. After the ground
is stripped. as above, to the depth Of six
feet, you come TO layer of gravel or sand,
in which the gold is. Rockers are used eu-
tirely. | have not seen rock here that
would weigh over two pounds, not many
over an ounce. One blacksmith. would be
sufficient for this whole mining region.

McCLeLLAN's WIFE Distributing TRACTS.

MCCLELIAN's WIFE DISTRIBUTING TRACTS.
The New York correspondent of the Bdl-
leiin is responsible for the following;
The Washington Chronicle of Saturday
relates a fact concerning the wife of the
commanding General which is looked upon
in Washington political circles as possess.
ing much significance. II is said that The
wife Of Gen. Mcclellan is engaged in ciIcu-
lating the books and tracts Of The Boston
Tract Society among the sOdiers--writing
her name in each book. As the Boston So.
ciety Is known as the anti-savery organi-
zaton, in contradistinction to the New
York Tract Society, The ecclesiastics will
consider this significant item Of news.
The reason why Mrs. Clellan distributes The
