De questIbus nil DIsputandum.

This is no time for editors to initiate the
old crone who would have the last word.
There is patriotic work enough for all our en-
ergies, and it does not look well to fall out by
the way.
Our pressman was called in few days since
TO work off two editions of the Bulletin, and
as bis receipt Of the morning issue shows a
circulation of over seven hundred less than
that Of the UNION APPEAL, our foreman felt
justified in adopting the heading he did.
Another of our Office hands is an independent
witness to the same effect. 1t is q matter of
small moment, and the Bulletin by its irrita-
bility and fretfulness is putting its friends to
the blush, and in spite of its assertions to the
contrary, exciting the suspicion that all is not
right.

"Tne above appears at the head of the local
column of yesterdays Appeal. 1t is not a lit
tie remarkable that such hsrdihood should be
evinced on the part of any Journal claiming TO
be respectable. Every man, woman and child
in Memphis who knows anything about news
papers and their circulation, well knows that
the above statement is entirely destitute of
soundness. They know more, that there is not
even decent pretext for such an allegation.
And yet the appeal puts it forth with all the
gravity of truth We envy not such moral
obliquity, but we do pity the spirit which
prompts such an unnecessary display of it,

From the New Orleans True Delta, July H. .Hsg aA
We noticed small sprinkling of cotton on
the wharf this morning, which had been dis
charged from the Whiteman, reported from
Baton Rouge. we also saw some diseharging
from a fatboat; but as this craft is not re-
ported in the marine column, we are unable to
even guess where the cotton comes from.

ALL R1eHT.-The Carson City Age, OF the
10th, states that Indian Agent Wasson had re-
turned from his tour among the Indians on the
Truckee. He succeeded in pacifying the lndi-
ans so much that he feels no apprehension
of trouble arising at this time, either among
themselves or between them and the whites
Their troubles they have referred to him for
adjudication, and by the time he can collect
sufficient testimony to warrant him IN render
ing his decision as to who was right ana VINO
was wrong. the chances are that they will have
their minds turned upon some more momen-
tous question. Old Winnefnucca feels little
sore over the death of his brother, but is gradu-
ally becoming recOnciled to it, and intends star
ting on his regular annual northern tour as
soon as he has a meeting with Governor Nye,
and settles up some of his little affairs.

THE WAR NEWS.

The telegraph line was 10 working order
for short time on Saturday evening, and
dispatches of the 18th and 10th were re-
ceiyed from the seat of war. The reported
capture of Richmond is not confirmed.
Gen. Hunter has Issued a proclamation de-
claring martial law in bis department, in-
Guiding the States of South Carolina, Geor-
gia, and Florida, and declaring all the
slaves in those States free. From Pitts
burg Landing the intelligence is not Of
special Importance. Halleck is advancing
slowly, fortifying as he advances. The
rebel force Is estimated at 10000 men,
and Haleck' movements are predicated on
the supposition that they will make stand.
Grand Junction. some forty miles west o!
Corinth, is Icing fortified by Beauregard,
with the evident intention of falling back
there if beaten at CoIinth. The Memphis
Appeal, of May 1Itb. says the Federal feet
which asccnded the Mississippi had return
to New Orleans; also that the Federal for
ces under Curtis had commenced its march
for the Capital of Arkansas, and that Gen.
Steele was marching on the same place
from Pocahontas. The same paper has
official dispatches from Desarc, Arkansas,
which state that the Federals have taken
Augusta, in Jackson comfy, and seized all
the cotton in the neighborhood. A Wash
ingtou dispatch of the l4th states that the
Federal gunboats, under commander Rog-
ers, had passed Brandon, on James river,
and offered battle to the rebel gunboats
jamestown and Yorktown, but they moved
off. Two batteries we're discovered on the
south side of the river; one was slenced
aud the gnnboats run past the other. Ad-
vices from Richmond state that the q adu-
al closing in of the Federal lines has Great
ed great panic in that city. There is
great indignation against JEFF. Davis for
allowing bis large army to fall back aud
retire from positions which the Richmond
people had been told we're impregnable.
The advancing troops of the Union have
had number of sharp skirmishes on the
approaches to Richmond, but no decided
stand has been made, aud the roads are
covered with wagons, muskets, and mun-
tions of war, abandoned by the retreating
rebels. Gen. Wool has issued orders pro-
bibiting the distribution Of newspapers. and
the transportation Ofsupplies and merchan-
disc in Norfolk. The President has issued
proclamation raising the blockade Of
Beaufort, Port Royal, and New Orleans.
After the first of June, trade with those
ports may be carried on, except as to arti-
cles cOntraband Of war, subject to the laws
of the United States.
The overland telegraph has not been
working since Saturday evening, and we
have no advices later than the 10th inst.

STEAMER NEvADA.-The rumOr, started
last week al San Francisco, that the steamer
Nevada had been raised, was unfounded, or
at least premature. The Herald says that
the divers have closed the openings, and
that those at work on her are sanguine they
will be able eventually to raise her. When
il is remembered that her stern has been ly.
ing for mOnths in thirty feet water and
twenty feet Of her bow high and dry, and
that her hull below the water level has been
filing with sediment, one will readily per-
ceive that she cannot be raised except eys
ternatically, aud gradually, without break
ing her up.

SUGGESTION TO PHOToGRAPHERs.-Ar rad
ical defect in nearly all likenesses taken by the
new method now in use, arises from the fact
that the sitter, being in novel situation, un-
consciously asssmes a constrained and unna-
tural expression of countenance,. and having
no means of correcting this, it is of course
repeated in the picture. Hence, so few are
entirely satisfied with their photographs, The
Improvement we suggest, is designed to obviate
this defect, by attaching to the camera an or
binary plane mirror, so adjusted that the sitter,
instead Of staring into blank space will, feel
ing of what a ridiculous part he is playing
shall look at his own reflection in this glass
during the entire operation. He will thus be
enabled at once to assume and retain his Ordi-
nary expression of countenance, or take any
other that best pleases himself. The picture
will be an exact reproduction of the image in
the Mirror and cannot fail of being perfect IN
every respect Scientific American.

STEAMBOAT COLLIsIoN.-AbOut dusk on
Saturday evening the steamers Banner and
Swan, the former going up and the latter
coming down the Sacramento, had colli-
sion about seven miles above COlusa. They
met unexpectedly, and the Banner struck
the Swan amidship and damaged her so
seriously that it was found necessary to
beach her as quickly as possible to save her
from sinking. She was SO far repaired dur
ing the night as to be able to reach Sacra'
mento on Sunday, and has been taken over
to Washington for repairs.

were taken, intended, perhaps, to carry the am
munition for the aforesaid pistols. There were
few, and only few, reyolyers and pistols OF

rebels may have been supplied with powder and

Hunters Proclamation.

According to New York dispatch Of the
18th inst, Gen. Hunter, commanding the
military department of the South, including
the States of South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, has issued proclamation freeing
all the slaves 10 those States. The prOcla-
nation says that the three States named
having declared themselves no longer under
the protection of the United States, it be-
comes military duty to declare martial
law; aud as slavery and martial law in
free country are altogether incompatible,
all persons heretofore held as slaves are de-
clared forever free. The announcement
that Hunter has issued such a proclamation
takes us by surprise. Had it been issued by
Fremont or Jim Lane, it would have been
in keeping with their past acts; but Hunter
is one of the most conservative commanders
In The army, and would hardly have issued
euch reclamation without the cOunte-
nance of the Administration, and with a
definite purpose to accomplish. What that
purpose is we can only surmise; but to car
ry out the proclamation, will require the
waging Of desperate war, compared with
which, the war Of the past year has been
mere chld's play. The idea that the whites
and blacks can live together in the Gulf
States, with ibe latter set free, is out Of the
question; and,if Hunters proclamation has
been issued with the sanction of the Admin
istration, it must have been with the view
of coouizing the blacks in Florida or South
Carolina, or else of extermiuating one or
the other race. Nothing but the drest me-
cessity, and the failure of all other means OF
crushing the rebels in the Gulf States would
justify such extreme measures.

ABRoTHFR OF WINNEMUCCA KILLED.
The Silver Age says that Wahoo, a brother Of
Winnemucca, and a bad Indian, was lately at
tackled by some Of the Walker River Indians
for having taken unwarrantable liberties with
some of their womankind, and was split open
on the back, his head forced into the cavity Of
the chest. his flesh chopped into mince meat
and finally burned. From this rough treatment
Wahoo is reputed to have died, and according
to Indian law for such case made and provided,
Winnemucca is in duty bound to kill the slay-
ers of his brother. A war between the Flutes
and the Walker River Indidns may, according
ly, be prophesied.

ALLISON RANcH.-Mining operations in
these rich claims, which were suspended for
about five months past, in consequence Of last
winters heavy rains, commenced on Monday
last, which fact has been hailed hereabout as a
fortunate event for this neighbOrhood. About
one hundred men are now employed in the Al
lison Ranch mines, and these claims, the most
profitable and extensive in this or any other
country, will soon, no doubt, render such an
account Of themselves as will astonish those
persons unfamiliar with the quartz wealth OF
this part of Nevada county.-[G. V. National.

Important if True.

We place before our readers in
this issue Of our paper. many inter
esting dispatches, which if true, are
decidedly cheering. 1t is not for us
as we have repeatedly Informed our
readers, to say that the reports are
correct, yet it becomes our duty as
q Journalist to give our opinion rela-
tive to the news, when it is import
tant. The kilograms say that we
have met with signal victory on
the plains of Manassas, though many
doubt this, it will be seen by the
published letter of Anxious, in to-
days paper, that this fight was mo-
nentarily expected. We think this
true, but doubt that our forces
have taken so many prisoners. The
news about Gen. Kirby Smith de-
feating Bull Nelson, and capturing
5000 prisoners is confirmed.
