THE NEWS.

The Eastern telegrams are unusually IN
tcresting. although they bring us no intel
ligence of any verv decisive operations in
siege or field. Our dispatches are to the
18th, two days later than those Of the
morning papers. Grant was on the eve
of an important attack, and the skirmlSh-
ing in his front had been heavy. From
Sheridan and Hunter we have no late IN
,elfgence Of n reliable character. They
are raiding around. and their past record
assures US of good account OF them
eventually. The raiders have gone on
unpursued. \ rumored raid by Buckner
is causing excitement in Kentucky Ihe
most important item Of intelligence IS the
call for half a million Of troops, and the
order for general draft on the 9TH OF
September. The European troubles seem
to be getting no better very fast, which
is GOOD news for the American nation.
There are all kinds of rumors atoat in
Europe as to the plans and probabilities
of Semmes in fitting out new pirate
craft, in which no doubt he viii receive
all the assistance from British and French,
that in the present condition Of their own
complications they dare afford him. The
Indian difficulties in Colorado are aSSum-
ing most serious aspect, and the passen-
gers and mails by the Overland route in
danger. Gold 254, at last advices.

WHICH SHALL WE ACCEPT I've clip
from the editorial columns of the Atlanta In
teligencer Of late date, the following
strangely contradictory extracts. The first
refers to the Confederate military situation
in the southwest. Speaking of the plans of
Joe Johnston and the prospects for a rebel
victory, the editor says: "We look on the
arrangement as perfect and masterly as the
mind Of great master of war can make it.
We are certain, too, that the defense and
necessary strategy will foil the plans of the
enemy and ruin the foe. His legions are
now dismayed at the thought that danger
Gus foe is swooping down like an eagle on
his track, and tearing his communications in
the rear. His strength dwindles daily, even
tually his broken cohorts will be driven back
covering before the steady advance of our
brave and invincible veterans" In another
column, after perhaps nap or maturer de-
liberation, the same writer, in appealing to
the Georgians to rally to the Confederate
standard, thus pictures the situation "Yes,
General Johnston is falling back Yes, the
enemy, the Yankees. are laundering at our
gates. Don't you hear thems Why, even
whilst | write, the reverberations Of their
knocks are shaking the ground. Their can
non shots are echoing amongst the hills to
the Northward; their shells are screaming
through the air. See the baleful fires they
are lighting up in the North Of Georgia the
lurid flames light the way in their victorious
march to the very heart Of the South. Don't
you hear their shouts? Their yells, exult-
ant and full Of the yindictive FIRE and pride Of
successful soldiers' There! your home Is
on FIRE, and the shots and leaden hail, and
the thunderbolts Of hideous war are crashing
about your desolate and abandoned hearth
stopes. Your wives and children have fallen
into the hands Of ruthless and savage foe.
VoluRes ~ smoke slowly rise into heaven,
and do you see it there There isonly pile
Of ashes where eaee stood your home"

The EnRineer'S Association.

| Inc hhK1neeE'b AAAOC1nt1On.
MEssRs. EDITORS "A short time ago an
Association Of Engineers was formed at Gold
Hill, and as much has been said in opposi-
ton to it, I will, with your permission en-.
deavor to throw some light upon the motives
OF the founders of this society. 1t is a well
known fact that many of the engineers who
now are employed in this Territory, are not,
nor never were competent to take charge Of
machinery, and run it in safe and profta-
BILE manner. This being taken into consider
alton by many well known engineers, and
widely known for their skill and ability, re-
suited in the formation of this association,
which was formed as much for the benefit OF
those owning mills and steam mining works,
as themselves. 1t was not formed for the
purpose of 'strike,' or to conflict with the
present rate Of wages, but to prevent, II pos,
sible, incompetent persons from running and
destroying the machinery which they are
placed in charge of, and to assist mill owners
and superintendents in procuring good and
reliable engineers; thing which is almost
impossible at this time. The association ad-
mits none who are not competent and who
cannot pass the examination of 4 committee
of five master mechanics and engineers, who
are elected by the association for this pur-
pose. Their Constitution differs materially
from all other such associations, as this eX-
cludes none who are competent to pass,
whether they are superintendents, mill own
ers or foremen. By admitting such men, it
gives the association good and solid foun-
datinn, and creates desire to see it live and
flourish, which otherwise could not be ex-
pected or looked for. So far their meetings
have been public, i'll order to give all an OPP
portunity to hear the reading of their Consti-
tuition and Bylaws, which none can find
fault with, and which are said to be one of
the best which has been adopted by any So
ciety of mechanics. 1t is to be hoped that
those having charge Of mills and mining
works, will look and inquire into its objects,
and give the society such encouragement as
it really deserves. 1t is yet in its infancy,
and as natural consequence it now has en-
emies, who sooner or later will be its warm
est friends and supporters. When we look
upon the manner in which it has been con-
Quoted, good and useful society, cannot
fail to be great benefit to those interested
in it, and as all who are admitted to this So
ciety must pass the examination, it is far
better to employ those who are members Of
this association, who can come recommended
BY it, than to employ those who are not COM
petent, and who are continually injuring the
machinery. These are points which mill
owners cannot too closely examine, as the
expense of repairing machinery which has
been so destroyed is considerable, and may
be prevented by employing those who under
stand their business. OBSERVER.

A letter from West Point, New York,
says: When Gen. Sickles was in the Thirty
sixth Congress, in pursuance Of his privilege
as a member to recommend young pupil
to be educated in the Academy, instead Of
any political fayoritism or party partisanship
influencing his selection Of youths to exer-
else his patronage upon, he wrote to the
School Commissioners, requesting them to
select from the schools worthy lad, who
gave promise Of improvement and emula-
ton. The Commissioners did select one,
who subsequently entered the Academy
The selection was q great success, the lad
proving in every respect worthy of the choice
of the Commissioners, and at the last EXAM
ination graduated at the head Of his class-z
the engineering class-and was one Of eight
who since then have received their commits
sions and been ordered to the front. The
lads name is Leidecker. The plan of Gen.
Sickles is worth trying on a more general

JIM. McDOUGALL.-When the final vote
in the United States Senate was taken on
the repeal of the Fugutive Slave Law,
California's sober Senator, Jim McDou-
gall voted against the proposition. In
this of course he represented the Democ-
racy, "as it is" and thereby betrayed
the people that sent him to Congress.
The existence of such a law upon the
statute books of the nation stinks in the
public nostril as bad as the rebellion it.
self; and it will be but short time till
such men as Jim McDougall will be as
odious to the people Of California as old
Gwin ever was.

A MISTAKEN NOTION.

We feel grateful to the Folsom TeSe-
graph for the disinterested Soicitude which
it manifestS in the affairs of this Territory,
but we regret to state that the editor
don't know what he IS talking about. He
says:
We notice that the secesh, the money
changers, curb-StOne brokers and the news
papers they control, are already making pre-
paratiouS to oppose the constitution now be-
ing framed for Nevada at Carson City. This,
however, is 10 be expected, as they cannot
carry on their hostility to the Union, or their
pound Of flesh policy rs well under State
as 4 Territorial government. The working
men and miners OF Nevada are sound on the
Union question, and will attend TO these gem
try at the election upon the question, o.
the adoption of the cOnstitution-and vii!
place the silver star of Nevada alongside OF
the Golden Star of California in the constel
latiou upon iour National banner. Nevada
should be represented in the next Congress
for her ownSake, for the varied interests Of
the Pacific coast, and for the cause OF the
Union. The contest will undoubtedly be
warm one, but the people will triumph over
both diSunionists, spectators and monopo-
lists
Now, the editor of the Telegraph, stand
ing in q commanding position at the other
end of the Placerviue stage route, un-
doubtedly notices" with close scrutiny
everything that is going on in the tunnels
and shafts and bar-rooms and brokers' Of
fees in this Territory, but despite his Vi
GLANCE. there are a great many little
things that occur over here, that he don't
know any more about than those who
live here. This fact is apparent in the
short article which We have quoted
above. The question of State Government,
as that editor is of course aware, was
submitted to the people of this Territory
six months ago, and was squelched by the
population like unto the squelching of
drawback beneath the thumb-nail Of the
exasperated Piute. At that time we sup
ported to the best Of our ability the at
tempt to "place the Silver Star Of Ne
vada beside the Golden Star of Califor-
mia, 4" and all those pretty things, but " the
working men and miners Of Nevada did
not see it in that light by any manner Of
means. Quite the contrary, we assure
you-,o wit. at the ratio of about five to
one, they couldn't begin to see it. Yet
we never once accused those five to one of
being seceSh, or copperheads; for the
simple reason that they were nothing OF
the kind, and We knew it. The oppOSi-
ton to the Constitution was based upon
entirely different grounds, and the miners,
albeit loyal as any body Of men in the
Union, voted against it almost to 4 man.
We are inclined to conjecture, from the
signs of the times, that they are going to
10 so again; and if they do, we shall not
charge them with disloyalty. We keep
tolerably close run of matters and things
on this side of the ridge, and must insist
that our friend of the Telegraph goes more
bv guess-work in his dissertations upon
Nevada politics than upon any actual OBJ
seryation of his own.

NAVAL EDUCATIoN.-The special training
of boys for the navy has been again resumed.
Boys between the ages of fourteen and
eighteen are to be enlisted in the navy to
serve therein until they are twenty years of
age, unless sooner discharged. These boys
are to be carefully instructed not only in all
the duties of seamen on board man-of-war,
but they are also to be instructed in navigation
and other matters connected with the service,
while at the same time thorough system of
general education will also receive attention.
The naval apprentice system, vigorously car
ried out and generously supported by the
government, cannot fail Of proving of lasting
benefit to the country.
