Interesting, IfTrue.

We learn from gentleman who arrived
yesterday morning from the border Of the
Mississippi, and for whose veracity We car
vouch, that serious insurrection occurred
some time last week among portion Of the
negro troops near Vicksburg. Our infor.
mant says that Colonel Of an African reg
iment, while drilling it, found one Of the
men obstinate, and. taking his musket from
him, used some harsh language. The Ne
gro replied insolently, and the commander
killed him. This excited the anger of the
rest Of the regiment. and they rushed on
the whites and slaughtered several Of them.
They also charged battery, took possess
ion Of it and tnrned it on the whites. A
courier was Immediately despatched to
Vicksburg for reinforcements. Two brig
AIDES were sent, on double-quick, to the
scene of action. They charged and retook
the battery from the negroes. and turning
the guns on them, managed, by grape and
canister, to kill and wound between four
and FIVE hundred. We also learn that
nearly all the negro soldiers have been sent
up the Mississippi, to what point our infor-
mant did not know. Three Of them be-
longing to the brother-in-law of our infor-
mant, came back to their owners planta-
ton after the affair, begging TO be pardon
ed and promising to be faithful. They, had
escaped from the massacre. Our infor-
mant heard the reports of the guns and the
screams of the massacreed negroes.
We have so much doubt of rumors from
the direction Of the Mississippi that we are
slow to believe anything from that quarter
that is not entirely credible. This state-
ment made seems to us to have that quail
ty, and accordingly, we give it to our read
ers. We believe that it is substantially
true.
We also learn from the same gentleman
that there was an important rumor when he
left, which was supposed to be unquestion-
able. That is that Col. Ike Harrison had
captured some twelve or fourteen Yankee
transports at Milliken's Bend, and de-
stroyed them, after taking out such stores
as he could conveniently carry of with him.
The report we may say, were admitted to
DO true by Yankee soldiers, near whom our
informant resides. The consequence Of the
loss of the transports was that the price Of
-four within two days rose in Vicksburg
from $16 90 to $18 90 per barrel.

The WErTING RELIEF.-At last we have
the pleasing assurance that rain will soon
relieve the drought affecting our neighboring
State, California. To us in Nevada, al
though not favored with the watery elements,
to any extent as yet, it makes not so much
difference, on account of the peculiar condi-
ton of our non-productive, grass-growing
qualities but III California the want Of rain
has been damaging in the extreme. Hun
dreds OF cattle have persisted in consequence
of grass not springing up, or not coming to
maturity if otherwise i: did. The grain
crops, it is thought. will not be damaged to
any great amount, now tina, they can receive
- rstenance they so much needed. Wheat

NEVADA Route TO NEvADA.-The Neva-
da Gazette says that on Tuesday the Pacific
line of stages took to Virginia City eleven
passengers, and the California Stage Compa-
ny's line twenty-eight. The travel via Ne
vada is increasing, and we are glad to know
it. 1t is not only the best route, but no one
can 90 via Placerville without supporting a
class Of sharpers, all interested in retardinS
and holding back the building of the Pacific
Railroad. From the owners Of the stage
line over the Placerrille route, down to the
Placerville and Folsom Railroad, and from
thence along the Sacramento Valley Rail-
road, ending with French and foreign CAPT
ealists, and the San Francisco Board of Su-
pervisors, there is one grand combination Of
sharpers working harmOniously together.
The friends of the Pacific Railroad should
consider these bearings, and avoid the route
for this reason alone. If the Henness route
was not the best, both in regard to safety and
speed, these considerations should have some
weight with the travelling public, who are
friends of the Pacific Railroad and of cheap
travel

Appeal
The Union and the Appeal are both mis-
taken. We have seen and talked with some
Honey Lake farmers in the town OF Gold
Hill. They had left their homes to go to
mining here-having lost all hope OF raising
a crop this year on their farms. They also
stated that their neighbors intended leaving
home to come to Washoe to mine. The
spring showers may possibly attract them
home again. They certainly have our best
wishes for abundant crops at Honey Lake.

Tgg DISSEMINATING CoNGREss.-The
Rebel Congress is the last thing that can
claim at the present time, the title of repre-
sentative body. The constituency OF more
than one-half of the members remains Of a
doubtful nature; and the members themselves
Of somewhat doubtful influence and dignity.
1t used to be proud boast Of the fre-eaters,
that the South was the only portion of the
country that sent gentlemen and men Of real
attainments to the Congressional halls at
Washington and while we freely admit the
great ability and powerful eloquencc of many
that she there sent, yet, when she stands be-
fore the world in her present perverted atti-
tude, her greatness dwindleS into the pigmy,
in respect TO her Congressional display and
statesmanlike motives. On the contrary, the
Federal Congress retains its usual ability,
apparently none the loser for the withdrawal
Of "Southern Greatness" impudence and
brawl.
