THE EASTERN NEWS.

The telegraphic news which came over
the wires Yesterday, and which we saga
ciously announced in advance of pubica-
ton in the morning papers as import
ant" is of so stale and ancient date as
to lead one to suppose that the trouble
on the line was not caused by fire or
flood, but by frost; and reminds us of
the famous frozen horn spoken of by
Munchausen, which, when thawed out,
gave forth the tune chilled into silence
years before. The news published seve-
raj days ago was to June 18th, while that
which came floating along yesterday is
only TO the 18th. There is positively
nothing in it. that we had not heard
long ago, save the rumor of the postpone
ment of the Chicago Buzzard's Roost.
The only person in the United States
likely to be affected by that postpone
ment is old John B. Weller, the Mexican
killer, who is short Of money and will be
likely to get hard aground on the shoals
of Bummerdom, and will be compelled to
go out buzzard shooting for q square
meal.
Our dispatches this morning bring up
arrears of news to the 10th. The intelli-
gence from Sherman's Department is en-
couraging. Thomas continues TO advance,
driving the enemy before him, and cap
turing large numbers of prisones. One
whole brigade fell into his hands at a
batch. Bishop General Polk has passed
in his military and ecclesiastical checks.
His body has been buried at Marietta, and
"his soul goes marching on"
The Overland Mail contract has been let
by the Postmaster General. Ii is for a
letter mail only; what disposition is to be
made of the paper mail, we do not learn.
Matters and things about Richmond
look very squaIly for the brazcn image Of
the Copperheads. The capture Of Fort
Darling and the surrender of the garrison,
is rumored to have taken place with but
slight loss on our side, and the river to
have been cleared of torpedoes and opened
to the Federal feet.
On the whole, the news, although not
startling, is irSt-rate as far as it goes.
The operator informs us that the line is
in complete working order, and that the
probabilities are in favor OF the news COM
ing along regularly. There is an amount
of business accumulated that will require
much time for its transmission up to the
latest dates. Everything looks favorably
for the continuance Of good news.
The news received by the magic atmos-
pheric Copperhead line, during the last
week. that the Federal army was annihi-
lated and JEFF. Davis crowned Emperor Of
the United States, is not confirmed.

SECESSION SENTIMENTS AND AGENTS IN
THE NoRTH.-Numbers of secessionists are
scattered all over the North, and faint the
sentiments Of every social circle and public
assembly. Our city has the misfortune, as
metropolis, to be the headquarters of these
men, and they are more numerous and bold
here than elsewhere. They are to be seen
and heard in all places Of public resort, in
omnibuses and cars, on the steamboats,, and
in the large hotels-especially in the hotels
of that particular class where board is to be
had for "two dollars and fifty cents a day in
gold, and four dollars in currency" These
men are Southerners not bold enough to fight;
snobby Englishmcn, with pretentious SYM
pathy for " a people fighting for their free
dom, you know" or some other contemplate
stripe of the British race; and Northern men
with Southern principles. Many OF the last
are the heads OF affuent mercantile houses
in our midst, who got rich in Southern trade,
and who think, with Henry A. Wise, that it
is a pitiable sight to see Southern gentle
men crushed by the Northern scum" These
men are always to be heard talking down our
cause-not openly, but with a covert allusion
or sheer. They can always tell exactly how
decisive and magnificent is any success gained
bv the Southern armies, and also how incon-
siderable and unimportant every Union sue
cess. Every one can recognize such person
in the number Of his person
who cannot be convinced that our armies
have ever won battle, yet whose perceptions
are wonderfully quick to perceive any change
in the condition Of affairs that is in favor of
the Confederacy. Just now these men are
talking down the recent victories won by
General Grant, and it is good time to call
public attention to their character. They are
all Southern agents, men directly in the inte
rests of the leaders Of the rebellion, and those
leaders rely upon them to affect public opinion
here, to divide the North, and to help the
South in that way. NJ. F. Maury, in letter
to the London Times, written last year, d.
vulged the fact that these men were regarded
BY the Southern leaders as an important
agency in the conduct of the war. He classed
them higher in point Of effectiveness than
the Southern armies He considered that
the South could not gain its independence by
means Of its armies, but that its chance was
good" its prospects never better"-through
the dissensions that these agents were eX-
pected to foment at the North. In our city,
the organs of these men are the so-called
Democratic papers. Our readers need not be
told these papers are not Democratic at all.
The World, the News, and the Express are
the very worst pretenders to Democracy that
were ever seen, though it is not the least sim
gular of human decisions that the conductors
Of these papers seem to believe that they are
really as Democratic as they claim to be, and
seem also not to know how completely they
are under the influence of the Southern agents
who labor so industriously in our midst.-N.

THE MINES AND MECHANICS
FAIR.

We find the following article in the
Mining and Scientific Press Of last Satur-
day. Whether the suggestions therein
contained will commend themselves with
any force to the mines of this section we
don't know, but we publish it for Whist it
is worth:
I'VE are requested by Mr.. c. B. Porter, the
General Agent of the Mechanics Fair, 20 invite
mining superintendents and mine owners through
out the Pacific coast, 20 prepare for exhibition ut
the approaching Fair specimens from each OF
their mines showing the vsin.Stone, together
with the associate rocks and, so tar "a may be,
the general geological character of the several
districlL The Institute proposes 20 furnish am
pie room, and take charge OF the exhibition OF al!
the specimens forwarded. Specimens should be
carefully labelled. The Importance and interest
which will attend TO such display must be ap-
parent TO all, and we trust the miners every
where will embrace the opportunity here pre-
sented of making their several locations and dis
tricts known TO the public. This portion OF the
exhibition will be under the direction of persons
in every way competent to the charge, and if pro-
perry initiated by the mining public, will form
one Of the most important and interesting fea-
lures Of the exhibition. All parcels and pack
ages sent exclusively for exhibition will be trans
ported free BY the various transportation compa-
MES of the Pacific States Miners are also iuvit-
ed 20 send ores for trial in quantities sufficient TO
be worked separately in the different classes OF
machinery which will be found on exhibition,
both TO test the merits Of the machinery and the
value Of the veins Such packages will, Of
course, have 10 be forwarded at the expense Of
the parties directly interested All articles for
waried should be labelled For the Industrial
Fair and directed to c. b. Porter, Agent

THE ALPINE GBYsERs.-The Monitor Ga
zette gives the following description of these
springs: These boiling springs lie in a
south west direction and about four miles
from Markleeville, Alpine county, and are in
John Hawkins ranch. The largest spring is
circular in form, about twelve feet in dame
ter and eight feet in depth. A mound OF
ring has been thrown around the edge, the
accumulations Of sediment deposited from
the water. There are some half dozen small
er springs within the circuit Of an acre, one
of which, about foot in diameter, boils
briskly, and contains red sediment which
gives it very beautiful appearance. The
big spring and some of the smaller ones will
cook an egg in few minutes, and a friend
at our elbow suggests that If some of the
backsliding followers of John the Baptist had
taken their initiatory in one of them, they
would have remembered the obligation lit
tie longer.

Georgia, states that the General is in front
advancing his lines on Kensaw.
Another unofficial dispatch, dated 9 o'clock

WASHINGTON, June l5.-Post Master

Folsom, California, to John A. Leeshand, Of
Lancaster, Penn, to-day at $780, 900 per an

More Rumors of the Capture of Fort
DarIing-The Monitors and Gnn-
boats remove TorpedOes and ascend
james River.
New YORK, June l6.-A special dispatch
to the World says passengers who arrived
by the Baltimore train last night report that
4 rumor was current in that city when they
left, that Grant, BY grand assault, had car
ried Fort Darling and captured the garrison,
sustaining comparatively slight loss. 1t was
also rumored that gunboats by means Of
Devils, with which the Monitors are provided,
removed the torpedoes in James River and
assembled the stream to engage the rebel IRON
clads.
General Position OF Things Around
Richmond, and Speculation There
on.
New YORK, June l6.-The Worlds spe-
cial says best military critics here say Lee
will be compelled to give battle at once or re-
treat from Richmond. 1t is not believed here
that the defenses on the south side Of the
Chickahominy can be carried by a coup de
main. With the surrounding roads cut, Lees
army, in large city, cannot exist; therefore
Lee must either fall on Grant with his whole
force before his entertainments, or evacuate
Richmond, or, manning the defenses, fall
back to Lynchburg, keep open communica-
ton, and hang on the tanks of Grants ar
my. 1t is rumored here that Lee would at
tempt to crush Hunter andmenace Washing
ton, but there is no fear that he will expose
himself with Grant in his rear.
The rebel capital and main army are con-
sidered in worse fix than ever since the
withdrawal Of Mcclellan from Harrison's
Landing.
Another dispatch to the World says: For
some nights past the enemy have made at
tacks to learn our movements, in which their
losses have been severe. Deserters give dole
full accounts Of affairs in Richmond.

WILD PLuNs. Our friends out at
Reese have wild plums among their hills,
il seems. The RereiHe saws:


The bushes that dispute with the sage brush
the occupancy of the surrounding hills, and were
a few weeks ago covered with beautiful bios
SONS now promise an abundant supply of fruit,
They hang full of plums now of the size of small
cherries, and are rapidly growing. We have
never eaten Of this fruit but are told by those
who have gathered il in years before upon the
hills along the Humboldt that it is Of very de-
licOuS character. II Is very probable that cult
waited fruit would be superior, but any fruit oil
the kind would DO considered delcacy in thi.
locality at the present time. Aswild plums will
grow and are native 10 the country. 1t is very
good evidence that other rarities of the same and
other classes would do ~ well. We hope tina;
these evidences of the capability of our soil and
climate will not be disregarded by our rsnchers
and gardeners, but that another season will not
be allowed to pass without full assortment Of
trees and shrubs being planted.
James Gordon Benefits son and heir,
Familiarity known as "Plum Gut" Ben
nett, should visit Reese in the fruit season
and distend himself.
