The guerrilla warfare is carried on with considerable vigor in Kentucky, Tennessee . and Missouri, and is rapidly desolating portioas of those States. The ambition of a gverrilla is to murder a Union man or burn a few bales of cotton, and while their depredations.can have no effect upon the result of the contest, they are much more harrassing to the peaceably disposed popuJation of the border States than the operations of large armies. Diepatches from the headquarters of McGlellan’s army, state that rebel reinforcements are hastening in large numbers to Richmond, It is believed the rebels are staking their allin Virginia, by concentrating within its borders all their available forces. At the same time, there is reagon to believe that the Government is makiog vigorous exertions to meet the erisis. A Washington dispatch, of July 29th, to the New York Times, says: “You may rely up it, that a vigor never before known in the conduct of the war is benceforth to mark the policy of the Government, The organization is perfect, and the material abundant, Soldiers are being pushed rapidly to places in the field.” On July 28th, McClellan iseued orders that evesy man should be ready for action at a momeut’s notice, and it was the prevailing opinion in the army that an important movement was immediately to be made. The State of Maine has raised her full aontingent under the new call for troops, aod many companies have furnished a surplus. The enrollment of militia in the interior of Missouri has also been unexpectedly active. About fifteen thousand bave volunteered, which is a larger number than will probably be required, or can at present be armed. On the 22d ult., the ram Queen of the West made an unsuccessful attempt to capture the rebel gunboat Arkaneas, at Vicksburg. The ram struck the Arkansas two tremendous blows, injuring herself badly and not disabling the rebel. The seige of Vicksburg has been abandoned for the present. The New York money market is atill fluctuating. On the 27th, the. rate of premium on gold coin was seventeen cents, but had fallen to Ofteen and a half on the let. A report is received from the South, to the effect that ten iron-clad guaobonts, ordered by the Southern Confederacy in Europe, had arrived: from England and raised the blockade of Mobile. These statements may be true, but until confirmed are not aatitled to implicit credence. _ “MINING AcotpEnTs.—At Forest Hill, on Phureday last, the tuonel of the Maine Miniog Company caved io, burying Joseph McAvoy aod Chas.

A Frexcu ARMAMENT FoR AMERICAN Waters.—Among the late Eastern dis patches, reference is made to an immense French armament baving lately sail. d for American waters, The intelligence seems as the armament is thought to be of too formidable a character merely to carry on operations against Mexicu. A Washington dispatch, of July 3lst, to the New York . Herald, says on the subject: It is stated on good authority, that when the news of the departure of the French fleet reach. ed Washington, Seward wrote immediately to . the French Government and made strong remonstrances against the presence, in this vi. cinity, of such a formidable fleet. Seward gave as a reason for the protest, that the Mexican expedition was of too little consequence to justify sending such a tremendous armament into American waters, The American Government could not help saci) here it was destined to act against the United States, and consequently asked an explanation. This is probably one of the Herald’s sen: sation paragraphe, We bave uo statement . as to the number of vessels composing the fleet, or the number of trocps in the expedition, but it is not probable that the armament is of asize di proportioned to the. work uf conquering, or even establishing a . protectorate over Mexico. It would require all the available vessels of the French navy to effectively blockade ihe Mexican ports session of that country, To transport such a force, with the vecessary munitions aud supplies for operations in a distant couatry, . an iinmeuse fleet would be required.

Each! of the wagons is drawa by six mules, mak. ing in the aggregate not less thau four hun. dred and tweaty mules. The regiment . left Carson City on Thursday morving, for .

The aud may be briefly stated as fol-. scboulfellow, in a communicativd, *4Y* 4) energy with which Republican France rose as showed that the . one man and hurled back the coalition which . poor” property holders on dach olde of “Pak ate. sought to interfere for La Vendee, for half a generation defied all Europe in arms, and loaded England with debt which will make her . groan to the last day of her existence, did not . equal the wrathful might which a similar attempt upon this American republic would surely evoke. Sooner than submit to such outrage . there would be fighting such as the world never . saw. A million would take the field to repel invasion, and two millions if there were need. Canada and every European possession on the . continent would be seized. Every sea would . be swept by American privateers. Monitors . would be multiplied by scores, and, if necessary ‘hurdreds. Every river would be converted into . a dock-yard, and every plain into an armory. This nation shall not so die. It is God’s heritage. Not earth nor hell shall prevail against . it. . Turn Frexcu ALLIES IN Mexico.—Reié . Masson, a French editor in Mexico, makes some forcible remarks abont the Mexican allies of the French. He says: The French army has completely allied itself . with the reactionist bands; Marquez, Cobos . and Vicaro have been received under the shade . of the flag of France. These men are the authors of the grievances of which the European Powers complain, and they are fighting with France to obtain a reparation of those grievances. Marquez is the assussin of ‘Tacubaya, he is the thief of the British Legation; he isthe chief offender in most of the crimes which M. de Saligny has enumerated to his Government. He was the executioner of Lacosta, the poor French peddler, whom he personally ordered to be shot, at Arroyzarco. He is the man who stone inscribed upon his banner, ‘Death to oreigners.’ He isthe man whor M. de Saligny himself called a wild beast. Marquez and Gulves arethe assassins of Ocampo, of hig egre de Vella and so many others. Cobos is the originator of the system of carrying people off and demanding ransoms, These men are now the companions of the flag of the heroes of Italy! From Cart. Rowkr’s ComMAND.—Anthony Ethier, Orderly Seargeant of Capt. E. A. Rowe’s company. passed through town yesterday, en route for Fort Churchill, on business connected with his calling. The soldiers are now encamped at Adobe Meadows, which post the Sergeant left on Sunday evening last. The troops are reported in good health, with the exception of Lieut. Noble, who is seriously indisposed, and some fears are entertained of his ultimate recovery. Tle has been sick four or five weeks, and is now suffering severely from the effects of a cold which appears to have settled upon his lungs. He is quite weak, and it is with much difficulty that he arises from his bed. No other sickness is reported in the command, and things generally are in a good condition. Peace now reigns “ye throughout the Owens river country. No trouble is now offered to emigrants by the Indians, and single families pass through unmolested.—(Carson City Age, 31st ult. Ricu L&AD ON THE FREMONT EsTaTE.— The rich lead known as the Oso Mine, in Bear Valley, has again been struck by workmen in the employ of the agents of the grant. This vein was discovered in 1851, by Mexicans, and for some time yielded an amount of gold daily a va than any mine ever found in this State. he lead was lost, or by some thought exhausted in 1852, since when it has been sought for in vain. Mr. McKay, however, did later strike a pocket, but that was soon worked out, paying, perhaps, $4,000 or $5,000. The main lead was found again, as before said, ten days ago, by sinking a shaft down upon the direct line of the vein, It is paying enormously—several thousands per day. The gold is found in soft oose substances, part of which is perhaps clay. Thirty-two ounces of this “dirt” yielded at the smelting and assaying works in Bear Valley, . The ore is principally sacked up, and a different process will probably be applied for the extraction of the = from that in use at the mills, where only hard quartz is reduced.— [Mariposa Gazette.

Seward gave as a reason for the protest, that the Mexican expedition was of too little consequence to justify sending such a tremendous armament into American waters, The American Government could not help saci) here it was destined to act against the United States, and consequently asked an explanation. This is probably one of the Herald’s sen: sation paragraphe, We bave uo statement . as to the number of vessels composing the fleet, or the number of trocps in the expedition, but it is not probable that the armament is of asize di proportioned to the. work uf conquering, or even establishing a . protectorate over Mexico. It would require all the available vessels of the French navy to effectively blockade ihe Mexican ports session of that country, To transport such a force, with the vecessary munitions aud supplies for operations in a distant couatry, . an iinmeuse fleet would be required.

Turn Frexcu ALLIES IN Mexico.—Reié . Masson, a French editor in Mexico, makes some forcible remarks abont the Mexican allies of the French. He says: The French army has completely allied itself . with the reactionist bands; Marquez, Cobos . and Vicaro have been received under the shade . of the flag of France. These men are the authors of the grievances of which the European Powers complain, and they are fighting with France to obtain a reparation of those grievances. Marquez is the assussin of ‘Tacubaya, he is the thief of the British Legation; he isthe chief offender in most of the crimes which M. de Saligny has enumerated to his Government. He was the executioner of Lacosta, the poor French peddler, whom he personally ordered to be shot, at Arroyzarco. He is the man who stone inscribed upon his banner, ‘Death to oreigners.’ He isthe man whor M. de Saligny himself called a wild beast. Marquez and Gulves arethe assassins of Ocampo, of hig egre de Vella and so many others. Cobos

is the originator of the system of carrying people off and demanding ransoms, These men are now the companions of the flag of the heroes of Italy! From Cart. Rowkr’s ComMAND.—Anthony Ethier, Orderly Seargeant of Capt. E. A. Rowe’s company. passed through town yesterday, en route for Fort Churchill, on business connected with his calling. The soldiers are now encamped at Adobe Meadows, which post the Sergeant left on Sunday evening last. The troops are reported in good health, with the exception of Lieut. Noble, who is seriously indisposed, and some fears are entertained of his ultimate recovery. Tle has been sick four or five weeks, and is now suffering severely from the effects of a cold which appears to have settled upon his lungs. He is quite weak, and it is with much difficulty that he arises from his bed. No other sickness is reported in the command, and things generally are in a good condition.

Ricu L&AD ON THE FREMONT EsTaTE.— The rich lead known as the Oso Mine, in Bear Valley, has again been struck by workmen in the employ of the agents of the grant. This vein was discovered in 1851, by Mexicans, and for some time yielded an amount of gold daily a va than any mine ever found in this State. he lead was lost, or by some thought exhausted in 1852, since when it has been sought for in vain. Mr. McKay, however, did later strike a pocket, but that was soon worked out, paying, perhaps, $4,000 or $5,000. The main lead was found again, as before said, ten days ago, by sinking a shaft down upon the direct line of the vein, It is paying enormously—several thousands per day. The gold is found in soft oose substances, part of which is perhaps clay. Thirty-two ounces of this “dirt” yielded at the smelting and assaying works in Bear Valley, .
