The correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives the following incidents at
tending the death of General Stevens of
Oregon
General Stevens death was cansad by a hall
passing tn rough his temple, while CALAMITY
leading his regiments. Just before his death
his son and aid, Hazard, on receiving a wound
exclaim ed, "Father, | am wounded ~ Gen.
Stevens replied, swell, son, have no time to
take care of you nOw," and turning to sol
der, said, Corporal. see to my boy" At the
moment of attacking, General Stevens sent

lamented General said, II won't refuse to

-. he election in California, on the 4th
inst, resulted in an overwhelming triumph
of the Republican fusion ticket. The elec.
ton retdrDs, yet incomplete, show forty
seven Republican Union members of the
Assembly elected, and four Union Demo
Gratis. Every Democratic Senator is de.
faated, Six Douglas Democrats and four.
Breckenridge Democrats hold over, consti
tutipg the sole opposition element in the
Senate, which has thirty nine members.
The statement that the rebel cavalry
General Stuart had been killed in the late
Ball Run battles was a mistake. The
Massachusetts, cavalry captured at Frederick
by the rebels, and released on parole, SAID
that Stuart was alive and active as ever.
1t seems to be generally believed, however,
that Ewell has since died of wounds received
10 those battles. His leg had to be anpu-.
tated, and he is said to have died from the
effects OF amputation
--Cassius NJ, Clay i5 10 Washington. He
has had an interview with Secretary STAN
ton, but it is understood that no decision
has yet been reached a. &c LIS future posi-
ton, He still desires to enter the military
service, but can only do it 90 certain condi-
tons, which the government is hardly pre-
pared for. 1t is still expected that he will
ultimately return to Russia, whether he
performs any military service here previs
ously or not
"A daring attempt was made last
Wednesday night to rob the Government
vault at the Custom House 10 Wheeling,
Virginia, of 81 100000. They dug through
the walls and failed on account Of daylight
coming to check their labors.
"A rebel, named Abner Grimes, who
was secretly carrying letters from st. Louis
to rebeldom, was recently arrested on
boat near St. Louis. He had 500 letters
of the kind mentioned, when taken.
DIR jerks, postmaster at Frederick,
took away all the United States mails and
government funds before the enemy entered
the city.
1t is o remarkable fact that there is
not General of Irish or German birth in
the rebel army. They have no Meagher or
Shields, or Corcoran, or Mulligan, or
O'Brien, or Busteed-no Sigel, or Heint-
zelman, or Benker, or Schurz, under the
flag of the rattlesnake and scorpion.
1t is intimated that Hon. Joseph Hollis
appointment as judge advocate general has
special reference to an investigation into
the causes of our recent reverses, and the
charges which have sprung so abundantly
out of them. The demand for a court of
inquiry, to examine into these charges and
fix the responsibility in the proper quarter,
begins to become general.
