In the northern part of this State (Cals
ifornia) is stream called fuba River
Across it some enterprisiug individ ual
built bridge and on the banks some
body else built three or four houses. The
inhabitants called the place Yuba Dam.
Three bars we're instantly erected, and
the "town' increased rapidly. About
noon one cool day traveller and . g.
journer in the land passed this hourishing
locality, and seeing long legged spcci-
men Of humanity in a red shirt smnking
before one Of the bars, thus addressed
him:
"Hellop'
"Hello!" replied the shirt, with vigor,
removing his pipe from his mouth
"What place is this 7" demanded the
traveller; whose name was Thompson.
The answer of the shirt was unexpect-
ed:
"Yuba Dam -
There was about fifty yards between
them, and the wind was blowing. Mr..
Thompson thought he had been mistaken.
"What did you say?' he asked.
"Yuba DAM" replied the stranger,
cheerfuIly.
''Wha. place is this ?' reared Mr..
Thompson.
"Yu-ba DAM !" said the shirt, in an
elevated tone.
Locke here yelled the irate Mr..
Thompson, II asked Jon politely What
place is this: why in thunder don't YOU
answer 20
The stranger became excited. He rose
and replied with voice of an 8O-poun.
der:
'Yu.ba-dam Do you hear tha,?"
In minute Thompson, burning with
the wrath of the righteous, jumped off his
horse and advanced on the stranger with
an expression not TO be mistaken. He
arose and assumed posture of offenseI
and defense.
Arrived within yard Of him, Thomp
son SAID /: 81 ask you, for the last time,
what place is this -
Putting his hands to his mouth. his
opponent roared
"Yu- bs- dam p
The next minute they were at it.
fint, Thompson was down; then the
SHIRT and then it was dog fall-thai is,
both were down. They rolled about,
kicking up a tremendous dust. They
squirned around so energetically, that
you'd have thought they had doscH legs
instead OF four. 1t. looked like = prize

finaily, they both rolled off the bank and
Into the river. The water cooled them.
They went down together, but came ND
ssperate, and put out for the shore. Both
seachsd It about the same time, and
Thompson scrambled up the bank, mount
60 his warlike steed, and made tracks,
leaving his foe gouging the mud out Of
one Of his eyes.
Having left the business portion Of the
sown--that Is to say, the corner where the
three bars were kept-he struck house

Ncwbern adviccs of the 22d state that de.
serters from Wilmington report that two reb-
el iron ciads with five inches OF plating on
eighteen inches OF wood mounting heavy
guns, were about ready to make raid on
the blockading squadron. They are about
the size Of the first Merrimac, and lay very
deep in the water, and are only able to make
ti.tuO'H t0ur miles an hour Wilmington is
very strongly nruupU, Il I0fce Can
hold it against great odds. Officers there
are in favor ot the bitter prosecution of the
war, while men who desire the capture of the
city by the Yankees entertain nothing but a
muiupuS regard for the rebel cOnfederacy in
the vicinity Of Wilmington. Near the bor-
dprs Of South Carolina, large number of
deserters and conScripts are intrenched and
successfully resisting the rebel authority,
have had three engagements already.
The rebel secretary Of war has ordered all
the North Carolina troops into other states tor
immediate service, on account OF the growing
disatfvction among them, and the Georgia
aud South Carolina troops are to take their
places in this state. The women and children
on Cape tIatteras banks, numbering some
1900, are in very dismal condition, and
threatened with starvation. Every boy and
man there capable Of bearing arms is vOlun-
tarily doing military duty in defence Of the
Union. Aid for the families is hoped from
the North.
Forifcations in this department are being
made inpregnabe.

the authorities at Washington the services Of

WORCESTER:

U. s. A., is here organizing negro regiments.
He delivered a speech here last Friday, upon
the subject of arming the negroes; if one
year ago man had taken the stand that Gen.
Thomas does now, he would not have been
safe with the soldiery one moment. Now he
is enthusiastically applauded. SO goes on
the good work. The right, sooner or later,
must triumph. Although we are now far
from peace, the day-star of freedom has aris-
en-, heralded bv the Presidents proclamation,
and glorious day will surely follow. The
negroes will prove powerful auxiliary to our
arms Eleven regiments have already been
organized IN this, (the department of the Ten
nessee,) and more will soon be, and thus far
the experiment is success. God speed the
good work! l believe the acts of the north
erR copperheads hare done more good than
harm to the army. l offered furloughs to
three Of my men whose friends and relatives
at home are copperheads Of the worst Sort
and they refused them; they said, when trea-
son was put down in the south, for which they
had volunteered, they would be willing to go
home and re-enist to help annlilate the more
cowardly traitors Of the north. There is less
complaining in this portion of the army than
ever before, and more determination to crush
the rebellion cost what it may"

The Chattanooga Rebel of a late date, says
Sam Houston threatens to ''take up arms
against the confederacy, unless he is treated
more clvilly."
The attorney general has made decision
of a very important question under the pen
sion law. He determines that unless the
soldier or sailor who dies of wounds re-
coived in the service, and while in the line
of his duty, be in the service at the time of
his death, his widow, &C., is not entitled to
pension.
The cotton crop promises an abundant har-
vest in Kansas this season.
The copperheads of Chicago, finding there
is to be an investigation into their frauds at the
recent charter election, have broken open the
packages of tickets voted and destroyed their
identity. This is equivalent to confession Of
guilt.
The Leavenworth (Kansas) conservative
dominates Col. c. r. Jennison, commonly
known as Jayhawker Jennison, and Wen

A Panama letter of the 18th, says that an
attempt has been made in Quito to upset the
Urbina administration. Several of the ring
leaders have been arrested and banished, and
the revolution is quelled.
The new constitution has been proclaimed

The brig George, at Havana from st. Croix
Jnne 8, reports that on the 8th inst, from an
observatory at Bars End, two steamers were
distinctly seen in the offing towards st.
Thomas engaged in battle. The cannonad-
ing was distinctly heard for some time, and
then one of the vessels suddenly disappeared.
1t is supposed that she sunk. The other YES
sci steamed out of sight, and probably pro-
ceeded to st. Thomas. The Vanderbilt was
reported at st. Thomas June 3.

THE DAILY SPY.


OK his dying couch young soldier lay;
Disease was wasting his life away.
AT the trumpet tones of lis cOuutry's call
He had sprung TO her rescue from college hall,
For victory buckled his armor On;
The destroyer came--and his work is done
A fond mother watches the ebb and flow
OF his failing BREATH aud his pulses low;
And she stills her heartbeat and checks her tear
That his tongues last accent may meet her ear;
His blue eyes unclosc, and she hears the words
"Mothcr, dear mother what beautiful birds'n
Did his unsealed vision see angels wings,
Not seen by the soul while to earth it clings?
No pale King Of Terrors with angry frown,
But white winged messengers from Gods own
throne
convoy to guide the dark valley through
The earth-worn spirit to robe anew
The pale lips are parted-he speaks once more:
On mother the bridge-are we passing o'er!n
She soothes him in low and gentle tone;
She feels that his spirit is passing on;
He hath crossed the bridge to the other shore
On earth she will see her brave son no more.
But that bridge is spanned by an arch of hope,
Through its Engineering vista Heaven doth ope
1t stands secure deaths dark waters above,
Its Keystone, sayiors deathlcss love
We must cross this bridge e'er we meet again;
lis our Fathers will-we would say amen!

sir, there's an aunt of mine down in Lincoln

err left, and used to go Oft in fits in harm
