THE NEWS.

In consequence Of storm between To.
ledo and Cleaveland, we receive no dis
patches from the East last CIV enirg.
The war-cloud is again lowering in tho
Southwest. The rebels have taken pos
session Of Humbolet, Tenn, at the juno
ton of the Mobile and Ohio and Memphis
and Ohio Railroads, and at last advices a
fight was in progress at that point. Skin
mishes have also taken place at Trenton,
Bolivar. and other localities. The rebels
are laid TO hold large portion of the
road between Memphis and Corin.h, and
Bragg. with $4,000 men. is reported to be
within days march of the latter point
Over thousand bales Of cotton. which
had been bought by northern men and
paid in gold, have been destroyed by the
enemy since Saturday. between Humboldt
and Bolivar. All the steamers on the
Lower Mississippi have been impressed
into the service of Gen. Curtis, who is
doubtless transporting his forces to Vicks-
brrg. Intelligence of engagements at that
place and other localities in the Southwest
may be looked for a. almost any moment.
As to the result. lie! US repose confidence
in the well-tried vs!or of our northwestern
troops.
Stonewall Jackson would appear to be
Ubiquitous. One repor, places him at
Gordonsvile. with $4,000 to $4,000 men;
while another locates him on the James
River. above the junction OF the Appoma-
tox with that steam, with a force of from
$4,000 to 10000. Secession sympathi-
zers at Washington express confidence that
ne will capture that city during the pres
ent week! Such an undertaking, We I'm
agine, will be found rather difficult Of ac-
compliehment.
Au order has been issued by Gen. Grant
forbidding the payment Of gold or silver
for products Of the rebel States If parties
refuse TO sell for Treasury notes. they will
be arrested and their crops confscated.
The fire in the rear against General Nc
Clellan is still KEEP, up by abolition papers.
They all print. with the mos. mn..ie nan:
satisfaction, the brutal harangue Of the
drunken and brutal Chandler. which is
equally an assault upon the President and
the General. The opinion held of these
assaian's Of Mcclellan by the army on
James River is described by correspon.
dent at Harrison's Landing of the New
York Times:
"Our confidence in Mcclellan is I'm
bounded. No one in the army has had
his faith in cur young General impaired
Retreat we must whenever Davis chose 10
precipitate his army upon us' That we
were any Of US saved is the result of Me-
Clellan's genius That the country has
now an army of the Potomac is owing en-
tirely to the discipline Of the men and the
faith IN their Captain. Every reviler Of
Mcclellan is only aiding the South There
are only two sides to this matter. no neu-
trail ground; any hesila,ing or qualifying
is only 30 much treason

/ THE ALLIES N MExIco-It is not improb-
able that England, France and Spain will be
farther from each others friendship than they
are at present before the Mexican question be
settled. The London Herald (Derby's organ
of Jan. 18th. says:
Iflt had not been for the difficulty with
North America British force would ere this
have been in company with the Spanish squad
ron in the waters Of Vera Cruz At present
we hear Only of the Spariards, and to their
feet and army has fallen the credit of the only
success which Is likely 10 be gained by the
intervening powers in Mexico. Vera Cruz
has fallen into their hands the Mexican COM
mander has retired before them without an
attempt to save the place. and the fortress of
San Juan de Ulloa has boosted once more the
flag of Spain.
We are at loss TO conceive what the
Spanish commander intends TO do next. or what
the French and English are TO do when they
have Joined him. 1t is clear that the inter-
vention cannot be intended for the sole advan-
tage OF Spain. If the Spanish General, who
10 his proclamation, speaks so magnlloquently
Of his mission to avenge the wrong OF his
countrymen, entertains any idea of this sort, or
harbors the notion of reconqneFing the country
for bis mistress, we think it well that be should
be set right as speedily as possible.
We think it most unfortunate thing that
our Government should have given its sanction
and cooperation to wild crusade which seems
likely to have for its chief results the further
ance of schemes of aggression and conquest.
We shall gain little credit we may expect
less profit from this ll-adyised Mexican inter
yention. We trust that it may soon be over.

Something About Cariboo.
[FrOm the Sierra Citizen.l
VICTORIA, V. l., Feb. 26, '62.

ICToRIA, Y. l., Feb. 20, g..
Ed. Citizen To the Sierra Co. Miners
There Is plenty Of gold in Cariboo- I have
seen It; and when sou can get upon the lead
1t don't take long to make what Is called q
pile. The same blue lead is 10 Cariboo that
runs through Sierra county, but the country is
entirely different The ridges are densev wood
ed, and the ground is wet and swampy. At
the lower ends Of the creeks there are generally
lakes-snlall lakes-and marshy land | have
not seen, as yet, any indication Of basins il the
hills as the bed rock shows itself on the top
OF the ridges and mountains surrounding the
rich creeks The gold is coarse and mixed
with quartz. | have seen more gold taken
out and in less time in Caribo0 than | ever
seen in California, and you are aware | have
seen gold diggings around DownieyiIe.
To those Of you who intend coming to Car
Z riboo this summer, remember, that Cariboo is a
long distance from Victoria. It is easier to
go from here to San Francisco than 10 Carl
boo. Mule teams cannot get into Cariboo be-
fore the middle or latter part of June that is
if there are any Of them living by that time /:
and from present appearances 10 Victoria
{snowing to-day. February 26thl-tninrs look
rather blue, although the Victorians don't care
how many come even if they have to 20 back
again to Portland or San Francisco so long
as they make something by emigrants coming
here
Now, don't come without means. II any of
you have from $500 10 S400, and not very
good claims. come on and try your luck, by
leaving California. BY starting in Nav YOU
will be 10 time enough Fifty dollars and a
good pair of boots will take you from ictoria
to Cariboo; but when you get there, remem-
Der there will be snow in june and provisions
very high-lour and beans from one dollar to
one and a~half per pound. Everything will be
very high and no credit for new comers. Now,
my advice to the miners of Sierra county is
this Come north if you think you can stand
it-that is, with regard TO means-for think
<there is one more show left the old forty-niners
/ am confident that Sierra miners can do WELL
whether they come north to 90 to Cariboo, or
to try the Salmon River mines. Don't all get
the lever at once and jump up and come off to
Victoria keep cool and think well before you
go any place il you are doing well. | do not
think the gold region extending north will be
prospected in the next five years so, say
again, keep cool. If you can't come this
spring, YOU can next.
To families who wish to go TO keeping hou-
ses or farming, | would say that British Col
umbia offers the best inducements OF any part
l know Of, at the present time. on the Pacific
coast. BY raising produce in British Colum-
bia, the ten per cent. is saved and the trans
port besides. | think families would do well
in this colony. Way side houses for travellers
will be in great demand this summer.

= THE STEVENS BATrERY-The following is a
description of one of the new iron batteries
now building in the vicinity of New York:
The Stevens battery Is strongly built yes
sci OF ifon, one hundred and one feet long,
twenty feet beam and seven and half feet
depth of hold, drawing four feet of water when
light, and seven or eight feet when in action.
The iron hull is surrounded by bulwarks made
OF white cedar, which does not splinter. They
are two feet thick outside the hull and one
foot thick inside, extending three feet ten
inches above the deck, and the same distance
beloy aud planted on the outside with wrought
iron. She is moved by two engines, acting
independently Of each other upon the screw
so that with one reversed and the other moving
ahead. the vessel can be turned around within
her own length, and with great rapidty. The
hold has water-tight compartments forward and
aft. that can be filled by a hole in the bottom
Of EACH which is closed by a valve from the
deck When the battery advances TO the
attack these compartments are filled by open
ing the valve and setting the pumps at work,
throwing water into them until the vessel set
ties with the deck some seventeen inches below
the surface, when she Is kept steady by the
heavy wooden bulwarkS. To prevent the
@ater running into the officers quarters. the
hatchway is surrounded by high combings
The wheel house is arranged so as to direct the
motion of the vessel. The smoke stack can
also be lowered out of sight The armament
of the vessel is single hundred pound riled
Parrott gun, having range of seven miles. 1t
is mounted upon a das, surrounded by a comb
ing to protect it from the water The gun is
loaded from the hold, the muzze being depress-
ed to the hold and but single man is left on
deck to fire it. 1t is next to impossible for
such craft as this to be hit. as nothing is
visible to the enemy but the unsubmerged por-
ton Of the bulwarks and the gun amidships
and it can be made a most formidable weapon
of oilense against an enemys Notifications OF
