Shasta, Oot. 10, 18C3. The Encampment. are informed that the General Review of troops at Camp Ellis took place on Tuesday last. Brigadier General John Bnlwell and Staff came on the field at 2 p.

M-, when the several companies present went thro' all the usual evolutions. They were drilled by Colonel Hill, A. A. A. General.

The commanding officer expressed himself well satisfied with the proficiency the men had made since they came into camp, and the whole ex ercises elicited the commendation of the numerous visitors present. All passed off quite as satisfactorily as though Gov. Stanford and his Staff had been present. The Camp was broken up at an early hour on Wednesday morning. and the Companies marched into Red Bluff and dismissed, all being well satisfied with the good time they had, ard the kind treatment they had received from their officers.

New Copper Lead One of the companies of prospectors at Whisky Creek, after searching diligently throughout the summer, have at last found a very valuable ledge of copper ore, situated about one and a half miles from Whiskytown, up the creek, which is goon destined to attract extensive notice. The discoverers have formed a company known us the Excelsior Company. They have a shaft down about nine feet and have found a ledge of ore between three and four tect wide, of what is known as yellow pyrites of copper, which assays thirty per and is similar in appearance to the Copperopolis ore. Feet have been sold in this claim at $3 per foot during the week, and many outsiders are waiting an opportunity to obtain an interest. Gen.

Butler's New The distin- guished rebel-tamer Ims beeu assigned to the command of the Eighteenth Army Corps, his headquarters being at Fortress At present there dues not seem to be any demand in that Department for extraordinary executive talent; hut the commander at Fortress Monroe is prospective commander at Richmond, a city which cannot remain in rebel possession very long after the capture of Atlanta aud the destruction of the Southern railroads. A Hercules will be required to cleanse the Augean stables of the rebel Capital. There will be I violent and venomous secesh in Richmond to i be tamed, in accordance with the New Orleans process. The rebels who descend the James on i the flag of truce boat may catch a glimpse of their 11 coming and enjoy the prospect of Ren. Butler superseding Jelf.

Davis in their boasted Butler is a Providential man for such positions. He will render powerful aid to Governor Pierpout in reorganizing old Virginia upon a free State basis. And-then Washington will be Union. Serious Accident. Sunday last a serious accident happened to Mr.

A. Grotefend, of this place, which came near proving fatal. On the afternoon of that day he was riding in his buggy, with his wife aud little boy, and when a short distance below Middle Oicck, by some means one of tlie shafts became detached from the vehicle, causing the horse to take "fright and run away, and upsetting and breaking the buggy. In the full the left shoulder of Mr. Grotefend was dislo cated, Mrs.

Grotefend received a severe cut in tl head, besides being considerably bruised upon the body, and-the little left arm was hr ken about three inches above the wrist.

A negro went to a menagerie ia which wus.v large baboon in a cage. He approached the cage closely, while ttie baboon went through several gyrations, such as nodding and shaking bis bead, holding out one ot his bands for the negro to shake, et to the evident delight of both negro and baboon. Finally, the baboon seemed so intelligent and the negro addressed him some remarks, which the baboon only answered by a nod of the head. At tills the negro was stiii more delighted, and broke forth with the remark right, don open your mouth, kase if you a word white man '1 have a shovel ia your hands iu less dan a minlt 1 A shocking homicide was committed in Sacramento ou Tuesday last. Daniel C.

Miller, one of the proprietors of the Pioneer Omnibus Line, was shot and instantly killed by a man named Andrew A. Merrill, of Volo county. A dispute about the payment of borrowed money is sa.d have oeeu the cause of the crime. Copperhead Press. It is not a little amusing, to a life long to read the twaddle of the Copperhead sheets in this State who pretend that they constitute the true Democracy of the country.

These would he exponents of proper measures that the Administration should adopt as a war policy, cry out. that war i 8 unconstitutional, and violative of that article. and in the same breath, a-k fur a more vigorous prosecution of the war to suppress the rebellion. They say we want the Constitution as it is, and the Union as it and at the same time laud to the skies, the very leaders of their bastard party who call for a convention of all the States to change the Constitution, and then ask for a cessation of hostilities until the politicians can fix up a peace for the purpose of preserving the institution of slavery in the rebellious States. All this is mere bosh, and these writers know it; but they are for the preservation of the Union, as much as those who are exerting every effort to aid the Government in defending the country against the bloodthirsty hounds who have inaugurated the most fiendish and cruel war ever known to mankind.

But under the cry of cunservath eism these writers would try to make their readers believe that they are, par excellence the exponents of Democracy. Do they not know that the Democratic party was always the radical party, until the slaveholders found that they could not. force their cursed institutions into the Territories, and make them slave States, against the will of the majority of the citizens who emigrated hither to found new homes, and there plant the standard of liberty and freedom, that all. of whatever class, could maintain their rights as American citizens. The Democratic party was always the war party, and believed that the manifest destiny which awaited only the progress of events, to throw its protecting arm around its citizens whenever their choice of residence might prompt them to niak their homes on the North American continent, and eventually bring them under the protection of one flag and one Constitution.

These long have been, and still are, the bright visions which animate the true Democracy of our country, and which stimulates the great masses of our people to renewed exertions in support of the Administration in hurling back secession from the territory already purchased with the blood and treasure of our Nation, and teaching such of our disaffected citizens who seek a disruption of our Union, that no new nation can be carved out of cur territory upon any pretense whatever; but that all of our people must submit to the requirefhents of the Constitution as it now is. unless it is changed in tho manner pointed out by that instrument itself. To maintain the true Democratic theory of government was the Monroe doctrine established, which was to shut out all European powers from establishing a foothold upon American soil but leaving the people living under other forms of government than curs, to their own free choice of how they would be governed, until they should see proper to accept our liberal institutions, and be admitted into the Union on an equal footing witli the older States. And tiiis Monroe doctrine will be carried out in Mexico against France, or the whole European powers combined, should they ever attempt to plant upon Mexican soil a monarchial government jo he udder their special protection. The old spirit of Democracy as inaugura ted by Jefferson, aud confirmed by Jackson, still pervades the great masses of the American people at this day, and they will not yield those great principles to that class of demagogues and politicians who have stolen the name of Democrat, but have forsaken the fundamental principles of that timehonored party, the purpose of converting this great nation into a slave breeding and a slave propigating aristocracy that would soon crush out witli the iron heel of tyranny, every spark of independence and liberty from our people.

So long as the -pirit of our republican institutions are understood by the masses, the cause of our Government will continue to nrosper; and notwithstanding our land may lose many of tier noblest sons iu tiiis bloody conflict against traitors, the country will add strength to her institutions, and become better able to asse-t her character as a great and powerful nation, and a better appreciation of the liberties we arc blessed with be more generally diffused among our citizens. These Copperhead editors advance the same arguments, and stand in the same position towards the present Administration and its measures for suppressing the rebellion, that the Tories of 1776, and the Federalists ot ISlid occupied towards tire Government in those great contests for the maintainance of our liberties; and when this cruel and heartless war is ended the leaders of the present Copperhead party throughout tire whole Union, will be held up to the scorn and detestation of all honest lovers of liberty, and they and their descendants will be considered as unworthy to be entrusted witli any office of trust or profit, for generations to come. Rise i the Fer eof Philadel-1 phia merchant, to whom the merchants of Chariest owe upon hearing of the bombardment of that city by Gilmore, said: Well, I have $50,000 owing me there, but 1 am perfectly willing to square accounts by taking my pay in the ashes Charleston at one dollar per bushel." This is an index of the general feeling entertained for the birth place of treason. Men who would shudder at the bombardment of any other city, wil rejoice to hear that not one brick is left upon another in the omed city. The Supreme Court has decided that the Act giving $-5 am nth extra pay to volunteers from this State is constitutional.

Shilling, and How the Missiles are Dodged 1 A corTqmUdent writing from Morris Island to the New York Christian Advocate and Journal says At night we can see the pa of a shell thro all its journey, lighted as it is by the burning fuse.

When the range is two miies, the track of a shell from a mortar describes very near half the arc ot a circle. On leaving the mortar it gratefully moves on, climbing up and up into the heavens till it is nearly or quite a raiie abore the earth, and then it glides along for a moment, apparently in a horizontal line hut quickly you see that the little fiery orb is on the homestretch, describing the other segment of the circle. A shell from a Parrott rilled gun I- going two and a half miles deviates from a line not quite half as much as a shell But in passing over this space considerable time is required. The report travels much faster than the shot. A shell from a mortar will make a distance of two miles in about thirty seconds, and from a Parrott gun in about half that time.

The flash of a gun at night, and the while smoke by day, indicate the moment of the discharge, and fifteen or twenty seconds give an abundance of lime 19 fin i a cover in a splinter proof, behind a trench, or somewhere else. It is wise and soldierly to do so, but many pay no attention to those hissing, screaming, flying in the daytime, if shot from a gun, invisible devils, except to craek jokes at their expense; for occasionally one pays his life for this foolhardiness A Robbery and One of its was a daring robbery' committed lately on the road between Carson City and Genoa, and a company of the residents of the locality armed themselves and went in pursuit of the rubber. In the course of their search they went late at night to the St. Charles Hotel, in Cars City, having received information which led them to believe that the robber was stopping at that famous hostelrie. Now, it so happened that the not very good looking hut strictly honest Survey or of Story J.

K. James, had arrived in Carson that evening, and had retired to bed without making himself known. And that gen; leman was frightened outof several years growth by a hand of fierce luooking armed breaking open his door and waking him at of a most delightful sleep, and dema ding to know what he had got hit valise. In the astonishment of the moment the poor snryey could not tell, and when one of the of the the hand inquired of the man who robbed, and who had been brought to recognise the robber, whether ho (the surveyor) looked like him, the man replied. Well, yes; something like him, but not exactly," Ike thought his time had come, for the man held a cocked pistol at his head, with finger on trigger, and which lie doubtless would have fired had the man said positively that lie was the culprit.

Ike, thinking that there must have been some mistake in the matter, called the landlord, when he found out how the mistake had originated. honest looking faee was the only thing that saved his bacon. We are glad the man shoot cr else the county would have lost a first rate officer and the community a bully good member Virginia City Bulletin. Raising a Vessel. M.

Bauer, an engineer, has, after long preparatory labor, succeeded in raising the Bavarian steamer Laid wig, which sunk two years ag 1 in the Luke of Constance, in consequence of coming in collision with a Swiss steamer. The engineer, in order to raise the vessel, which was lying at the depth of seventy feet, made use of an apparatus of his own invention. By moans of divers he attached to her, one on each side, two large balloons made of water proof linen, which he filled with air. When the expansion had become sufficient, a movement was observed in the water, which looked as if boiling, and the vessel gradually rose to the surface. Advice 10 Young Ladies about ro Marry.
