COMPTON OF APFAIRs.-The evacuation
of Forts Wright aud Pillow, and the throw
ing open of the Mississippi to the Federal
feet, affords pretty conclusive evidence to
the mind or the editor of the Marysville
Express that the entire Southwest has been,
or is being abandoned by the rebel forces.
1t looks to US very much as though the reb-
els we're leaving that section-tbat is, those
of them that can get out of the reach of
Pope's forces-but we do not think this
"plau" wa, agreed on until quite recently;
nor do we share in the fears of the Express
that the rebels will be able to mass all
their forces in Richmond, and fall upon
Mcclellan with empowering numbers and
rOut his army. The chances. are, that the
battle which is to decide the fate Of Rich.
mond will have been been fought before
the vanguard of Beauregard's army eau
reach that city; and it is not at all mprob.
able that the remnants of the two rebel ar.
mics will meet by accident" and form q
junction somewhere in the sand-hills of
North Carolina. There they could remain
during the huckleberry season, with little
fear Of molestatiOn, and complete their ar.
rangements for that final "last ditch" ca.
tastrOphe.

CAN WE LIVE WITH THEM AGAN!-The
Key West correspondent of the New York
Times. writes:
l have often heard the declaration that
when the rebellion shall have been crushed,
there can be no reunion of the States. The
statement is veIy common, especially among
Southern men. But il the state Of affairs here
are of any significance, it points to the fallacy
of the idea. There are men living here who
have signed the ordinance Of secession OF Flor
ida, who have opened books for subscriptions
to bogus Confederate loans, some who have re-
fused to sell coal to the United States vessels,
and some have threatened National officers or
those who should presume to accept National
Office, and those generally speaking whom
have been assured were the most determined
rebels. Yet they have all now taken the oath
Of allegiance, and are quietly conducting their
business amid numerous representation oi
Northern men, and all is order and quiet. Some
Of these persons are anxious to conceal and
forget that they have rebelled and may be
found competing for the trade Of the army and
navy, and mixing in the gayer scenes which
even times of war present.

CHARLESTON AND MEMPHIs.-DiSpatches
received from the East yesterday, briefly
announced the capture of these cities BY
Federal troops. At the time Of writing
this, we have no additional Information
except that given 10 our dispatch yesterday
afternoon, but the intelligence received on
Saturday last bad led us so far TO anticipate
the result that we were not surprised at the
announcement. A dispatch received by
the s. +. Call, on Saturday, stated that the
Federal troops had invested Charleston,
and had had a sharp engagement with the
rebel batteries. 1t was also stated that The
Federal gunbOats were within four miles Of
the city, and that three rebel steamers had
been captured and sent TO New York. If
the overland telegraph is in working order
we shall probably have some further par
ticuIars to-day. The fall Of Charleston
gives the Government possession Of every
important Southern port except Mobile.
The capture of Memphis was of course ex'
pected 20 Immediately follow the evacua'
ton of Forts Wright and Pillow. We have
never heard of there being any fOrtIica-
tions between Memphis and Vicksburg. and
It will not be many days till the Mississippi
river is open to commerce from its sources
to the Gulf.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-06-10

A PATRIOTIC PRoPosITIoN.-An ardent
Republican Of this city, who has fair share Of
wealth and character, some time since wrote to
Washington that he would take any Federal
position in this city, and perform the duties Of
the office, for 800 per month! The letter was
filed away in the proper department, and has
fallan under the notice of some others of the
California Office seekers, and the way he catch
es sits" every day, on the street, would set a
less devoted patriot crazy. He is accused of
having been the cause Of the late reduction in
the Mint and Custom House. He keeps up his
pluck and ''jaws back" at them. and says he
don't see why the Collector should make about
$780, 900 per year, and as good Republican as
Mr.. Rankin, who did more for the party, is
serving the cause for $75 per month"; He says
he can take the Office of Collector at 500 per
month and then honestly make over $40, 900 a
year, as it pays now. Go it, patriot! The Office
holders after yOu.-[S.F F. Call.

OREGON ELECrIoN.-The Oregon State
election was held on Monday of last week,
and the little intelligence we have indi-
Gates the suceess-Of the Union ticket. The
only counties heard from are Multnomah
in the northern part Of the State, and Jack
sou, one of the southern counties, both
Of which give the Union ticket majority.
There were only two tickets run, and the
leading oandidates>On what was called the
Democratic ticket were regarded as rank
Secessi0nists.

THE BATTLE OF FAIR OAKs.-Ths is the
name given to the battle fought near Rich
mond, on Saturday and Sunday, the 3Oth
and 3lst ult. Fair Oaks is probably o
grove, some three or four miles north Oi
Richmond. and was occupied by the Federal
troops after the battle, though the f9hl
commenced some miles below. According
to the latest accounts, the Federal loss in
the two days. engagement, in killed and
wounded, was about 1000, nearly aS grea,
as at Pittsburg Landing. We have nothing
reliable as to the rebel losses; but it is sta.
ted that they fought bravely, and as they
were finally repulsed aud driven from the
field, II is fair to presume that their lorl
considerably exceeded that Of the Federals
One account says they left twelve hundred
dead on the field. Among the rebels killed
was Gen. HattOn, Of Tennessee.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-06-10

Los ANGELES ITEMs.-The Los Angeles
News OF May 3lst, has the following items:
And old trapper and mountaineer named
Weaver, now in the Colorado mines, has writ
ten letter to his son in San Bernardno ad-
vising him to come without delay. The mines
are described as the richest ever seen. Gold in
considerable quantities is continually being
brought into our city. So many people have
left for the mines that the city is very dull, and
II the exodus continues, nobody will be left to
keep house. An immense quantity of goods
have gone forward.
Intelligence received from HOlcomb Valley,
yesterday, is to the effect that everybody in that
vicinity are preparing to be off for the Color ra-
do mines.
The expedition to Utah, under command Of
Col. Connor, will be composed Of the Sd Infan-
try, five companies of the I'd Cavalry and field
battery.
Wool continues to arrive in large quantities
from the country, for shipment. A train OF
some eight or ten large transportation wagons,
laden with wool, left hOre yesterday morning
for San Pedro.

AN INsoLvBNT CAsE.-Robert II. Parker
Of San Francisco, an applicant for the benefit
OF the bankrupt law, presents to the Court the
most marvellous case on record in his line. II
appears from his own elaborate statement Of
liabilities that he is short on the score Of losses
BY fire to the amount OF SlO0, 900; by bad debts,
$4,000; by interest money, $3.50, 900; by de-
probation in property, 100000; BY endorse
ments, $4,000; and by expenses for living,
$50, 900, making total Of $500, 900 liabilities.
To meet all this he has assets Of $S250-making
little less than five cents on each 500 that
he owes.

CusToNHorsR SSARL,-CushmSn, late Dep
uty Collector, has gone on to Washington to
get Collector Rankin removed. Cushman in
sisted that ten packages out Of a cargo were
enough to send to the Appraisers Office; RAN
kin said send more; Rankin's idea would swell
the receipts Of the Customhouse drayman; that
man is Rankin's brother. Rankin and Cush-
man quarreled, and the latter had to "walk the
plank" He now is on bis way East to get
Rankin out of office. The chances are he win
succeed. The Administration at Washington
has so much trouble with its subOrdinates here,
that there is probability it will dispose Of all
