TIE NEWS.

With the exception Of a very brief dis
patch announcing the occupation of Deca-
tur by our troops, and the evacuation Of
Atlanta by the rebels we have no later
news than that received by The, Paas Of
this morning. The Pi,~e's dispatch con-
corning the peace propositions, We scarcely
know how to regard. The appointment
of Horace Greedy as commissioner to
treat with the rebels strikes US as neither
admirable nor one likely to have been
made, 1t is rather "mixed" story
The demand upon Great Britain for the
rendition OF Semmes, whether it amounts
to anything in the end or not, IS an Act
which will meet with general approval.
The evacuation of Atlanta IS cheering m
telhsence and shows the impetuosity ana
determination of Shermsn's advance and
utter inadequacy of the force that John
ston can bring to bear to resist the pro-
sress of the national armies. South Car
DINA is now almost isolated from the rest
of the Confederacy and will soon find
herself in tight place for supplies. The
folds of the anaconda" are tightening
slowly but terribly sure. -z ..- ..-

A SEcEssIoNIsT UNMAsxED. "A we'll
known secession sympathiser in this city was
dreadfully enraged at the appearance of a
paragraph in Tuesdays Union in relation to
Bishop Kavanaugh, which we copied from
the Flag, but inadvertently failed to credit to
that paper. He feels himself dreadfully
abused, and wishes it to be understood that
he is one Of those who will contribute to
build the reverend traitor a church in San
Francisco. The indecently profane language
INDUCED in BY this devoted member Of the
church over which Bishop Kavanaugh pre-
sides, indicates he is traitor to his God as
well as to his country, confirming the con-
yietion we have long cherished that man
who is false to lis country cannot be true to
his Creator. 1t is about time that men who
live beneath the protection Of the American
flag, who are indebted to American institu-
tons for all they have and are, and whose
families are subsisting on the benefaetion Of
our Government, should learn to treat that
Government with decent respect. The time
has gone by when the profession of religion
or even the sacred vestments of ministry can
furnish cloak for treason. Religion and
patriotism go together.-Esmeralda Union.

4 CoPPERBEAD WHINE.-We extract
the following from the Virginia cores
poudent of the Grass Valley National of
the 2lst inst. 1t is a secesh howl in be-
half of 4 .'schiyslry" gentleman who is
now for the FIRST time in his life doing an
honest days work as a return for the
bread he eats-instead Of cumming it
from the lunch tables in the saloons on c
street.
Much has been said about John Ander-
sou, who was arrested on the Fourth by the
Provost Marshal. There has been no pub
lie statement as to the facts; no charges
have been made. learn from reliable men
who heard the talk for which Anderson was
arrested, that ne was betrayed BY a misera-
bic wretch who was paid for II. John was
asked how he liked JEFF Davis, whereupon
he replied, 'd-n JEFF. Davis; he was then
asked how he liked Abe, and his reply was
that Lincoln was worse than jeff. The
miserable creature who informed the Provost
Of this talk, and acted the part Of spy, has
lived in Grass Valley for years past until
n year or two since. He has been
an object Of charity on the people OF
that place, general hummer in the country,
and has been on the same lay here"
This correspondent either through ig-
norance. or intentional perverSion of the
truth, misstates the affair. John Ander-
son was arrested on the Fourth of July
on the affidavit made BY peace officer of
Storey county, for exclaiming upon the
public street, in the presence of large
coneourse of people, as follows: - God
d-n the Government of the United
States, and all who uphold it I" This
was the exact language ne used. as sworn
to, and it was not until an affidavit was
made to thar effect that the Provost Mar
shall ordered his arrest. The language
used BY Anderson, whether he was drunk
or sober, was well worthy of copper
head and traitor-was done in the pre-
sence of many people on public street
and the authorities did no more than their
duty in furnishing him for it. We know
the gentleman who made the affidavit,
and we know that he is public officer
and If he IS a worse hummer" than
John Anderson, the public do not know

Disposition OF CHERRIES BY SOLDIERS
Some troops halted about a mile from the
river. On one plantation, near camp, was
a magnificent mansion, In the yard grew
some cherry trees. A safeguard had been
furnished, and instructed to shoot any one
climbing after cherries. Whether done to
preserve the fruit for the family, or the troops
from cholera, am unable to state. Soldiers
fed on salt pork and " hard-tack" are savage
for green fruit Of any kind. One daring fellow
sat complacently on the limb Of tree filling
his mouth with the red, ripe luscious cherries,
and needing not the expostulations OF the
guard, A shot was fired, and slight flesh
wound inflicted on the mans leg. Some
soldiers, near by, made rush for the guard,
who fed for his life. The next moment the
tree was covered with blue uniforms-groups
emerged from the house with shad and bacon
in their hands. In trice the beautiful man.
sion was dismantled and everything edible
carried of. In Richmond, the owner, who
has been wounded in the rebel service, is all
unconscious Of the unlimited guests who have
entertained themselves in his elegant home.

Those FUsEs.-New fuses have been sup
piled for the shells ut Fort Point, and on
trial made in presence Of Col. Wainwright,
last Wednesday, everything worked most ad-
mirably, the shells in every case exploding
at the exact point desired. The absurdity Of
the charge that the fuses Of the shells at this
post had been purposely cut of to prevent
their working, in case Of an attack, is abund-
antly proven By the simple fact that the shells
are never filed with fuses until the moment
they are required for use, when the fuse;
which is covered with paper marked with a
scale graduated for different distances, Is cut
long or short to suit the occasion. The fuses
used at the trial in presence Of General Nc
Dowell were ten years old, and proyed on ex-
animation to be ruined by age alone. They
were Of the regular length, and shell being
charged in the presence Of the officers by the
Provost Marshal, and fitted with one OF them
cut at the moment so as TO explode at a GER
tain point, burst within the gun, or directly
at its muzZle. .-f ~

Matters about Atlanta, On.

WASHINGTON. July 2Q.-Latest ipforma.
ton from General Sherman is that that the
enemy was taken completely by surprise in
his crossing Chattahoochee, and the cavalry
were at once sent to operate on the railroad
east of Decatur, Ga, to cut off communica-
ton between Atlanta and Augusta, thus pre-
venting the removal of stores to the latter
place and sending of reinforcements to john
ston. Our main armyis within ten or twelve
miles Of Atlanta, and all operations are pro-
crossing fayorsbly. General Bragg had ar
rived at Atlanta, and would, 1t was supposed,
exercise personal supervision oyer the move
ments OF the rebel army. It is believed that
Sherman has, by this time, dispatched large
body Of cavalry to Macon to release numer-
ous Union prisoners confined there,
