THE LATE STORM.-By dispatches in the
MarysviIle papers Of yesterday, it appears
Shat the rain storm of Monday night and
Tuesday extended all over the eastern and
northern portions of the State and Nevada
Territory. In the early part of the day 1t
wgs showing on the summit, but as the
weather moderated in the afternoon the
lnow changed to rain. The Sacramento,
Feather. and American rivers were rising
slowly on Tuesday evening, but there had
not been sufficient rain to cause any fears
Of another overflow. Bear river was un-
usually high yesterday morning. but COM
nenCed falling before noon.

BODY FouSD.-The Marysville Appea

BODY FOUND.-The Marysville Appeal
learns that the remains Of man was found
in an old prospecting hoe, near Billiards.
Bar, on the Yuba, last Sunday. The body
must have lain there for long time, as the
flesh was decayed from the skeleton. 1t
would seem most likely that the man had
been murdered, as one side Of the skull was
mashed in. and all the teeth had been
knocked ont except two of the front ones.
No clue to his identity was discovered.

NAVAL MATTERs.-A number of changes,
says the S. F. Journal have recently been
made in the Pacific station and squadron of
the United States Navy. The following are
some of them:
Paymssser Joseph c. Eldredge, late Inspec-
tor of provisions and Clothing at the Navy
Yard, New York, relieves Paymaster A. Eu-
gene Watson, of steam sloop Lancaster, de-
tached and ordered East. Captain Joseph Lam
man, late Ordnance Officer at the Navy Yard,
Mare Island, sails on to-morrow's steamer for
Panama, to take command OF the United States
steamer Saranac, vice Robert Richie, detached.
Lieutenants ]. ]. Cornwall, o. f. Stanton and
John w. Kelley have been detached from the
United States ship St. Mary's, and will sail on
t0-morow's steamer for New York, VIA Pan
anna, to take part in the active service of the
present rebelhen. The 81. Mary's loses three
valuable officers by this change; If it should ever
be in their power to meet the enemy, they will
prove their qualifications as naval officers, and
retain the esteem of their friends. The Lancas-
ter, flying the broad pennant of Flag-Oficer
Bell, will go to the Navy Yard, Mare Island, on
Wednesday, for repairs.

AMERICAN FLAG IN TIPPERARY.-A cor.
respondent of an English paper sends the
following communication:
At an early hour on Monday morning the in
habltants Of Nenagh were attracted by the ap-
the round tower in the centre Of the town. It
had the stars and stripes on one side, and the
sunburnt, harp and shamrock on the other. It
was well exec uted, and evidently came from
America for the occasion. Moreover, the po-
lice had word that several such rebellious flags
were hoisted through Tipperary and the ada
cent counties. 1t being a holiday and fair day
IN Nenaghi the crowds who witnessed this flag
were large. The smissaries Of rebellion must
l. have expected war as the result of the news in
ddipperarry, The police took possession of the
nag, ana mad 1t carefully sent to the authorities
Of Dublin Castle, who should look sharp after
this district in the event ofa war with any
country.

ARnEsr OF A NEWSPAPER COnREsPoNDENr.

ARREST OF NEWSPAPER CoRREsPONDENT.
DIR. Ives, a Washington correspondent Of
the New York Herald, was arrested on the
18th ult., by order OFthe SecretaFy of War,
and sent to Fort McIIenry, as Spy. 1t is
alleged that he forced himself into the War
Department. and read certain telegraphic
messages, which put him in posse sson OF
Government secrets. Secretary Stanton
issued an order, in which, after rehearslng
the circumstances of the arrest, he says:
Newspapers are valuable organs of public in
teigence and Instruction, and every proper Ia
cility will be afforded all loyal persons TO pro-
cure, ON equal terms, information of such pub
lie facts as may be properly made known during
time Of rebellion. But no matter how useful or
powerful the Press may be- like everything else,
It is subordinate to the national safety. Inc
fate of an army, or she destiny Of the nation,
may be impeTrilled by spy in the garb OF
newspaper agent. The nation is in conflict with
treason and rebellion, and may be threatened
with foreign foes. The lives and fortunes OF
10000, 900 of people, and the peace and happl-
ness of their posterity in the loyal States; the
fate Of the public liberty and republican govern
ment forever, are sIakeu aPoii tHe IinPoi'an'
issue. The duties of the President, his Secre-
tary, and every officer of the Government, and
especially in the War Department and military
service, are, at the moment, urgent and solemn
duties-the most solemn and urgent that ever
fell upon men. No newsgathefer, or any other
person, for sordid or reasonable purposes, can
be suffered to intrude upon them at such time
to procure news by threats, or spy out official
acts which the safety of the nation requires not
10 be disclosed.
The Threats" alluded TO were made BY
Ives, TO the effect that unless the Assistant
Treasurer, Watson, allowed bin TO see the
dispatches, the Herald would visit its
wrath upon Stanton.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-03-13

TIE OVERLAND TELEGRAPH Is still out Of
order, and no dispatches have been receiv-
ed from the East since the 4th inst. The
Interruption of telegraphic communication
is particularly vexatious, as people are anx-
iOus to learn what is going on. Even if
nothing has been done since the 4th lust, 1t
would be some consolation to be informed
OF the fact.

GOLD NEAR MOUNT DIARL0.- Quite am
excitement was caused IN thu neighborhood
says the Contra Costa Gazette. a few davs since
by the reported discovery of gold in places
where the rain had washed the soil in the vicin-
ity of Mount Diaolo. A number of specimens
of the genuine article were freely exhibited,
which we were assured came from that locality.
Claims we're staked off and sanguine expecta-
tons indulged in by those early in the field.

RETRENcHMENT BAcKwARD.-The Bulle-
Tin has information from Washington that the
California delegation are in communication
with the Secretary Of the Treasury relative to-
the recent reduction of salaries in the Sam
Francisco Custom House to the New York
standard, and will probably succeed in getting
the order for reduction modified so as, 10 bring
the lower grades of salaries up to nearly or
quite what they were when Mr., Rankin went
into the Collectorship.

VIEWS OF THE FRENCH PREss.-A Paris
correspondent of the London News, writ
ing January 18th, says:
The Debats, Temps, and Opinione Rationale
strongly oppose the doctrine that there is any
thing contrary to the law of nations in the con-
ddct of the United States at Charleston, and
argue that to destroy a port (even assuming
that they have done it) is not so inhuman
as to lombard city. But all the Government
journals, including the Moniteur, make the
worst Of the Charleston affair, and the Patrie
continually hints at the recognition of the Con-
federate States, as being imminent. NJ. Grand
guillot has republished series of his articles
in the Pays in the form of a pamphlet, with the
heading "La Reconnaissance du Sud-" Not
withstanding these symptoms, however, the I'M
portant news that England has revoked the
prohibition against the expectation of saltpeter
and munitions of war, and the buoyancy of the
French funds are strong arguments that no
Intervention in American affairs can be con-
templated.

There were five hundred rebels entrench-

ed path, and while bis cavalry, by advauc-
ing along the main road, making vigorous
attack 10 front, drew the rebels short dis
tanee down the summit, the infantry ad-
vanced along the ridge and completely
routed them after a fght ofless than TWEEN
ty minutes. The rebels abandoned every.
thing. Garfield pursued the rebels siz
miles into Virginia, and after quarteriug
his men over night in captured camps, burn
ed their barracks, consisting of sixty log
huts, and large quantity of stores.

Dexasta,Ion by Ice.

The Buffalo Commercial says The ruin
created by the freezing of the rain upon the
forests along Niagara River is not yet halt
told. On Saturday afternoon and Sunday,
thousands of branches, and in many instan.
ces whole trees, broke down under the i'm
menso weight. The forest trees on Goat
Island and in the Ferry Grove at the Falls
have suffered terribly. Monday morning
trees and branches were thickly scattered
on the ground, and yet thousands of limbs
were broken but not entirely detached from
the trunks. Shade and fruit trees have al
so been destroyed in some instances, and
badly injured in others. 1t was probably
the most costly as we'll as the most dazzling
ice exhibition of the century.

that, and has come to tho time when, in
stead of coldness and neglect, and perhaps
dismissal, speedy promotion is visited upon
the earnest Generals who attack, pursue
and destroy the enemy.

The high price Of sugar and molasses-

The Agricultural Society Of this county
will undoubtedly pay considerable attention
to il and offer liberal premiums, to stimu-
late competitiOnb between growers and manu-
faclufers.
IN many portions Of this and Western
States Conventions have been held where
the growers and manufacturers have met
and compared notes as to seed, planting,
culture and manufacture, and exhibiting
samples. Such Conventions cannot fail Of
beneficial results. The cultivation Of sor-
ghum is bot in It's infancy and all the infOr-
nation that can be thus elucidated goes to
increase the cultivator's knowledge, insuring
him success in that Of which he now doubts.
We would suggest to the raisers Of cane
and the manufacturers in this county the
propriety Of having such meeting in Ere
mont some time in April, when they might
get together aud canvass the subject; each
relating his experience for the benefit Of tht
whole. If such meeting should be con
cluded on, we will provide a convenien
room for it. Who will move in the matte
