TUESDAY EVENING, “OCTOBER . , 1861. age Cativousia Vouunrerns.—Gen, Sumoer has reocived an official order from Geo. Scott, directing that besides the volunteer foree Called for to guard the Overland route, the five regiments, one of cavalry aud four of infantry, originally ordered, be organized and held ready for service on the Pacifie court aod elsewhere according to future order to be given. The reports put in cireulation by Washington letter writers, that the California volunteers were to be immediately sent to Arizona aod westeru ‘Texas, probably bave no foundation, The organization of a volunteer force on this coast was doubtless ordered in view of the critical relations existing betweea the United States and European Governments, growing Out of the civil war, and was intended as a precautionary measure. Io case @ war should break out between the United States and England or France, the five regiments might be needed to repel an invasion of California, Tux Rkvotren Surnexnek ov Cov. Mor 1GaN.—In the general dispatch received by the last Pony, no mention is mode of the reported terrible fight at Lexington, Mo., and the surrender of the Irish Brigade aadér Col, Mulligan. The dates from St. Louia are to the 24th ; the surrender ig reported to have taken place on the 19th, giving ample time for the news to reach St, Louis, even if telegraph and railroad communication was cutoff, We may bave full particolars of the affair in the details of news, by mepenaar sore oo of the Disunion Programme. , : emorcrat.

Northera Light, having on board the 30, 000 stand of aris which were chipped East by order of Gen, Sumner some time ago. The arms were-as welcome as they were unexpected. No iotimation hud been received that they were on their way until they arrived at New York, and, in fact, it does not appear that the public were gen-. erally aware tbat such a quantity of arms had been sent to this coast. It appears that 50,000 stand of arms were sent to this coast, over and above the State’s quota, and those needed for the regular troops, and the evideoce is convincing that they were sent bere by Secretary Floyd in the expectation of their falling into the hands of traitors, to be turned against the Government. Fortunately, thut part of the disunion programme failed. Gen, Johnson, late in command of the Pacific Department, found it impracticable, if be had the disposition, to attempt to act the part played by Twiggs in Texas, and the timely and unexpected arrival of Gen. Samper probably . saved thie State from being pluaged into the borrors of civil war, That Johnson and mavy of the army officers on this coast were watching for a favorable opportunity to inaugurate a revolution in California, and . thus help along the rebellion, is evideot . from the fact that many of them resigned . their commissions as soon as a loyal officer . was placed iv command of this Department. . A “Scratou.’’—It appeare that the cap. . ture of Forts Hatteras and Clark, on the coast of North Carolina, was a mere “serateb,”’ and had the enemy taken advantage of an secident they might bave de. stroyed two Government vessels, containing a large number of troops, and perhaps PONY NEWS. The Pony F xpress arrived at Buby Valley yesterday afternoon, with adviees from St. Louis to Sept. 24th. We make up the following summary from the Transcript . Extra of this morning: The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, of Sept. 19th, says: Gen. McClellan and several of his staff, this afternoon, went to examine our earthworks, rrisoned a portion of Gen. Franklin's pet While reviewing the enemy 8 position, Gen. McClellan discovered five or six hund of the enemy approaching about two miles yell Gen, WeClellan ordered several rifled . cannon placed in position and sent his compli . ments A, the Rebels. in the shape of a twenty pounder shell that exploded in their midst, producing the wildest confusion. The whole force were seen to scatter and a large number were killed. The enemy did not return the fire. Gen. McClellan, after disposing of the advancing force of rebels, directed his attention toa) new battery recently thrown up by the enemy a short distance south of Munson’s Hill, known as Mason’s Hill. He fired several shot and shell in their ranks, causing some of the hands to knock off. They were evidently surprised by this sudden opening of our batteries on . theirs, as they disappeared and did not return . the fire. A deserter from the rebel camp at Mua son’s Hill, states that Gens, Beauregard aod Johnsou were at that place ou the 18th, uid made a reeonnoissance of the Federal positions. He says that Jeff. Davis bad al eo been at Munson’s Hill, Centreville and Fairfax, and reviewed the troops in person. Geo.

Lincoln is only 26 miles from Nevada, and the cars will soon be running to that place. The work of grading the first seetion of the railroad from Folsom to Aubure has also been commenced, vad is now being pusbed forward rapidly. Overntayp MaiL.—A dispatch from Salt Lake, to the Union, dated Supt, 26th, states that the mail stage had arrived from the Hast, having neither mails nor passengers. The stage started from Atchison, Kansas, aud mast bave left about the L6tb, at which time a band of marauders had possession of St. Joseph. Secession Fi.aas,—Considerable excitement was created at Stoekteu on Sunday morning last, by the sight of three or four secession flags, which bad been raised during the night in different parts of the town: The treasonable emblems were token down by the citizens, and the stars and stripes run up io their places. Vorg or tux Strate.—A San Francisco dispatch, of yesterday, gives tbe total vote for Governar, as follows: Stanford, 55,431; OConness, 30,156; McConnell, 30,576. In this estimate the fraudulent vote at Big Springs, Mono county, is not included. PResentation,—A set of colors was presented in Shasta, Sept, 23d, by Miss Anna Sprague, in behalf of the ladies of Shasta, to Col. West, of the Shasia Guards, Carr. Avaline's company, whieh enlisted at Folsom as cavalry, have determined ficial report, says ; I may mention in this connection that the . Adelaide, in carrying in the troops, at the very . moment my terms of capitulation were under consideration by the enemy, had grounded upon the bar, but 4 active and Néistous exertions of Commander Stellwagen, after some delay was got off. At the same time the Harriet Lane, in attempting to cross the bar, had grounded and remainded fast. This to me was a moment of the greatest anxiety. By these accidents a valuable ship of war and a transport steamer, with a large portion of my troops, . were entirely within the power of the enemy. I had demanded the strongest terms which he was considering. He a refuse, and, seeing our disadvantage, renew the action; but I determined to abate not a tittle of what I believed to be due to the dignity of the Government— not even to give an official title to the officer in command of the rebels. Besides, my tug was in the inlet, and at least I could carry on the engagement with my two rifled 6-pounders, well supplied with Sawyer’s shells. —— “Ox To Wasuinotoy.”’—Among the items . received by a late Pony, was one to the ef-. nopalarity of bis proclamation, and the dif .

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.—The Rebel Congress, . near the close of its session, passed a whereas and a resolution, declaring that unconstitution. al interference had prevented Missouri from seceding, and authorizing Jeff. Davis to use the military power of the Confederate States to aid in the furtherance of the plans of Claib Jackson and the defunct Legislature.
