THE EASTERN NEWS.

We devote very considerable space IN
our columns to-day to Geographic news
of a later date than that published yester-
dsv. The news received by the morning
papers IS coufrmatory of previous ac-
counts, while our special dispatch Of to-
dav gives Us additional intelligence Of an
important and most cheering nature. But
ler's cavalry, in two divisions, had swept
I'D the peninsula, destroying railroads and
bridges, cutting Beauregard's army IN
two, whipping Hills division, and pre-
venting all possibility of Beauresard re-
inforcing Lee. Butler is in an impregna-
bic position. The latest accounts from
Spottsylvania say that Warren drove
Lees rear guard through that town into
the country beyond. General Sedswick
was killed in that battle. The fighting
has been terrible. and the number of
wounded is awful-almost beyond prece-
dent. The army IS marching on

JUDGE LoCKE's CASE.

The graveSt rumors that could possibly
be conceived concerning Judge Locke, OF
the Supreme Court, are rife upon the
streets: in the mouths of all men. The
Union of this morning has an article upon
the subject, and gives the following. as a
common report in Virginia;
IL is said tha, just before the late important
decision in the case O; .Ac Cholar vs.. the PotOsi
was made. 4 party OF four gentlemen, one OF
whom was ! well. known lawyer Of this city. and
another 4 we'll known capitalist, went INTO
Lccke'S room and accused HIM Of having been

against the Chollar On his jvnla, o; the charge

Locke should either explain the whole matter 10

very highest consequence - iAe people OF Ne

the press TO see that grave imPutations upon the
purity Of the Judiciary De AZ once senced or cor
rpCted"
The truth or falsity Of these reports is a
matter of the most vital interest to the
people of the Territory, and it behooves
citizens to thoroughly investigate the
facts. We have the following story this
morning. very directly and positively.
We learn that within a few days one OF
the parties interested in the Chollar
charged Judge Locke to MS face with hay-
ing received direct bride from the North
Potosi Company, to render the decision
against the Chollar Company, and de-
clared his ability to produce the person
who gave the bride, and to name the
amount of the stock which Locke received.
Our informant says that Locke did not
directly deny the accusation, but merely
said that he wished 10 have no fuss with
his accuser; that the latter denounced
Locke as perjured scoundrel, etc., and
afterwards went upon the street and pub
Ecly reiterated his charges. Judge Locke
owes i. to the community, to the Govern
ment which appointed him, and his own
honor as a Judge and as a man, to ex-
plain this matter.

RETURN OF Boise GOLD HUNTERS
Messrs. Nethercote, Mcdonald and Savers
have lately returned from long and thor
ough examination of the mines OF Southern
Idaho. They left here last winter and went
by Salt Lake and Fort Hall. They spent up
wards Of month in prospecting the country
through Fort Hall and Bannock Districts,
and after suffering much from the severity Of
the weather, and privations incident TO so
new country, and finding no opportunity to
make any money, nor finding any one who
was making more than two to three dollars
per dav, turned back toward the Goose Creek
Mountains. On Raft River they found some
quite good prospects, and took out a few dol
lars in gold. In the Goose Creek Mountains
they found gold bearing ledge, a specimen
of which they brought in. II is a very pretty
piece, and resembles descriptions of the ore
obtained in Colorado Territory. This was
the only thing worth noticing found by them
on the trip, and with such poor results, 1t is
natural to suppose that his love for Idaho
and Boise is not very strong; in fact, he
has returned with big disgust, and says
there are many others of the same opinion as
himself, and who would gladly leave the
country were they able. There are now thou
sands on the way to that country from the
Mississippi Valley, induced to migrate thither
bv the fattering reports Of interested parties,
who found their tales Of wealth upon few
rich strikes made last season, which it now
seems exhausted the placers. There will be
but little TO do for this large emigration upon
their arrival, consequently a great majority
will find their way to this Territory, or into
the settlements OF Oregon and California

journed meeting which was to have been
held last Sunday at Maguire's Opera
House, in aid of the Sanitary Fund, was,
on account of the severity of the storm,
postponed to meet to-day. The weather,
however, has been such as to keep the
streets in the same muddy condition, rem
dering the proposed military display out
of the question. For this reason the
meeting has been further postponed until
next Sunday afternoon, by which time i,
is hoped that the streets viii have become

vance towards Richmond. General Kmtz,
with something near three thousand cavalry
advanced from Suffolk the same day with
ours. Our movement up James river forced
the enemy back from the water. We burned
the railroad bridge over Stony Creek, and
struck a blow at Petersburg, cutting in
two Gen. Beauregard's forces at that point.
We landed here bermuda Hundred), en-
trenched ourselves and destroyed many miles
of railroad; got into position, which, with
proper supplies we can hold against the whole
of Lees army. Beauregard, with the main
portion of his army are left south Of this point
by cutting of the Railroad by Gen. Kurtz. 1

A QUESTION SERIOUSLY AFFECTING THE
MINING INTERESTS OF CALIFoRSIA.-We learn
that several parties residing along the line Of the
Bear River and Auburn Water and Mining Com
pauy's canal, in Placer county, who have patents
for their lands from the General Government,
have instituted suits to enjoin the Company from
running water across their lands, and requiring
them to remove their bitches therefrom. These
lands are so situated as to control large districts
of mining country, and if the parties prosecuting
sre successful, the property of the aforementioned
Company will be rendered nearly worthless.

THERE is society in Paris called the
Prince Imperial Loan Society. 1t loans
money to poor men, without interest, and
with no security but good faith. The poor
man who seeks relief need only promise to
repay the loan which he receives, and bring
two friends to declare that they have known
him certain time, and that he is honorable
in his dealings. The society holds neither
the borrower nor his friends liable for the
money loaned; it takes their word Of honor
as security, and will lend upon it any sum up
to one hundred dollars. No defaulter is ever
prosecuted, and, so far, every pledge has
been redeemed to the last centime.

FREE SPEECH IN CoNeREss.-In an ar
ticle upon the recent reasonable harangues
in Congress, the Philadelphia Telegraph
says:
Certain speeches were made in Congress last
week which caused great sensation in that body.
A Mr. Long OF Ohio, uttered some very treason
able sentiments In which he was supported by
other members. whose feelings got the better OF
their reason. Il was proposed TO expel them, but
tn, motion failed for want of 4 two-thirds vote.
Yet the cause of the Government in this war is
really better served by such Incorporate and dis.
loval declarations, than it is hurt. The absurd
and unpatriotic opinions OF such men are not only
easily related by argument Snd common sense,
but they shock the loyal sympathies Of the people
EVERYWHERE One such harangue rs those of Mr..
Long and Mr.. Harris will do more good to the
Union cause than harm. The eyes of the multi
tude in the North will be opened TO the treason
able proclivifies of the Democratic party and as
that party is popularity weakened by betraying
its disloyal intentions, so will the cause of the
Government be strengthened with the Masses.
