We may expect soon to hear of exciting military movements in Missouri. The dispatebes received by the two las Ponies, state tbat it is generally believed Price aud McCollocb are in a trap, aod in danger of being cut off. Their advance upon Lexington leaving two large armies—one uoder Sigel at Rolla, and the otber noder Lane at Fort Scott—in their rear, was anything but . good generalship. Lane had about 5,000 men under his command, and according to late reports bad advanced as far east as Osceola, which is ou the direct road from Springtield to Lexington, and about balf way between the two places. There must have been some 8,000 or 9,000 troops at Rolla, under Sigel, and although we have no late reports of their movements, the plan probably is for Sigel to move westward and form a junction with Lane, thus completely cutting off the communication of the rebel army with the Soath, from whence their supplies of provisions aod ammunition are maioly drawn. Advices from Jefferson City, of September 24th, anpounce the arrival there of irrge numbers of troops by steamers from St. Louis, who were to be immediately forwarded, by special trains, to Syracuse or Sedalia, on the Pacific Railroad. This looks like a design to conceutrate a sufficient force in the neighborhood of Lexington to offer the rebels battle. The latter would bave to fight under every disadvantage, It successful they would not be in a condition to improve a victory; and in case they were defeated, aud compelled to retreat, Sigel and Lane are ia a position to intercept their march southward. Even if the rebels are merely held at bay, and prevented from crossing the Missouri river, they would soon be compelled to retreat with their whole force iu order to open communication with the South; and . may be more firmly established in the fear and retreat would be nearly os disastrous for them as a defeat.

A report having beeo widely circulated to the effect that Jobn Conness, late Democratic candidate for Governor, was “endeavoring to bring about * reconciliation among the leaders of the two Democratic wings,” Mr. Gorbam, of the Marysville Democrat, addressed him on the subject, . and in answer, Mr. Conners states frankly pow he stands. He says: If every man in California were against the . Union, ad against yee the power of the Government to preserve itself, I would be fog both, against the — ; and I would seek some other place of abode. My opinions do not grow . out of the influence of my neighbors, but are . the result of my love of country and my estimate of its value. : . T have not associated and will not, knowingly associate myself with men who are secession. ists, disunionists, or traitors ; nor will I advise . others todo so. Treason is as foul a crime . now, as it was in the time of Benedict Arnold ; . and West Point was not worth more then, than . Manassas is now. Any opposition to our present nationality is treasonable, pending war; and ought to & punished by banishment from the State, or incarceration in prison. Upon the terms of Union, I can have political associa. tion, and upon none other. I care not whether . my associates come from one ey or another, so long as they are true upon the one vital point. No party can now be useful except to the extent to which they coutribute to thisgreat . cause. To the Democratic party as Buchanan made it, I am opposed. To the Democratic party as Douglas would redeem it, I am firmly attached and devoted; but my attachment and devotion to it goes no further than the extent to which it can Le made useful to the universal cause of civil liberty. You will perceive that . with me the Union is above party. It is a. crime now, to raise party above country ; or to . consider personal interests, pending the great . danger to all we have, as a people, that is worth preserving. That there are partisans base enough to do so weknow. Many of them show more talent for getting office, than patriotism . or a taste for war, but these things will be, no matter how much you and I may regret them. Attempts to make political parties by specific agreements, and division of spoils, will always fail, and are only made by narrow and bad men. Parties must grow out of current necesLE LE NN LE ETT De a ee RIE eee a iS TT serve them, or they cannot continue to exist. . ‘To conclude—however others may be—I haye . but one desire, which is, that this Government sities and great causes, as well as continue to . love of our people; that its prosperity may be continued ; and that it may be securely transmitted to those who are to succeed us.

J. 8S. McCun, ee ee FarLurers.— Quite an excitement was created on Saturday last by the failure of two heavy Marysville firms—Jobn C. Fall & Co., and J. H. Tennent & Co. It appears that both firms disposed of their assets to R. E. Brewster & Co., of San Francisco. . The Marysville Appeal, announcing the tailures, saya: The liabilities of Fall & Co. are quite exten. as the house has been engaged in an extended business, and the senior partner of the . firm has been largely connected with outside rties and other business arrangements. In . pe appears that the present embarrassments of the concern are chiefly owing to the heavy endorsements of Mr. Fall for parties who have failed to meet their obligations. As is well known, he has also been involved with numer. ous Washoe and other mining and speculating companies whose failure has left him the only responsible party in the association. We understand that the sale to Brewster & Co. has . been made to protect that concern, whose name is on Fall & Co.’s paper to a large amount. Of course many extravagant and foolish rumors . are on the street, but the general feeling seems . to be that Fall & Co. have done the best which . could be done under the circumstances, the . unior partner, Mr. Kinkead, having sacrificed . is own fortune to maintaia the credit of the . . concera. llar each way a ' Use or Postage Sramps.—The New . . York Post, in an article describing the de. . signs and method of manufacture. of the . new postage stamps, says; or obvious reasons it is manifest that the . . number of stamps to be used during the com. . ing year will show a marked decline from those . bn ee years which amounted to nearly . 216,000, he yearly increase has lately averaged 19,000,000, It is estimated that the number required for the next year will reach . . 200,000,000—thns throwing off the usual in. . crease, and 16,000,000 in addition on account of . the seceded States. Over 10,000,000 of the va. rious denominations have already been fur— to the de setae sea and the manufac. . a . re producing them at the rate of 1,300,. . similar movement is in progress in Ire . is, that although fifteen men stood immediately . using another gun of the same class. There 1s . , Estate in Tue ‘UNITED Kixepom.”’ Tie dupestiion of the Irish to seek fortuue in a foreign land is one ae Oe ae oprietary in . seat gree to a statistical table, ablished some years ago, the number of landed proprietors in Ireland was 10,000, in Scotland 3,000, in England 20.000, while in France the number was 3,000,000. Scotland, althongh only showing 3,000, was formerly divided ap among an immense num. ber of lairds, or small land owners. — But with the progress of eociety the habits of these underwent a change, and the lnirds in the majority of cases found that their estates vo longer yielded them incomes suffi. cient to maintain them as gentlemen, a coneequence of which was tbat in *he course of time, the entire number of landed proprietors in all Scotland became reduced to the number stated. We quote this to show that land, and that it has been rather assisted than retarded by the operation of the Encumbered Estates Court, The same Is the . case all over the United Kingdom, nod now . property is daily falling into the hands of . great monopolists, The result of this is to increase individual wealth, but to make the mass of the people dissatisfied. This was the case in France prior to the Revolution of 1787. and to the revolutionary condition of France at that time England, Ireland and Scotland are now approaching. The) causes may be swept away and the disaster . averted, but the probability of such occnrring isin the highest degree remote.—[N. Y. Herald. Expriosron oF A Corumprap.—On Friday morning last, as the gunners in Fort Alcatraz were practicing in shell firing with a new 32ounl Columbiad, the piece exploded, the fragments flying in all directions. One piece weighing 2,500 pounds was thrown to a distance of . fifty rods. ‘The most singular part of the affair about the gun at the moment of the explosion, no one was seriously injured, although one of the men had his clothes almost entirely blown . from his person. The gun was ge ong d ruined, together with the carriage on Ww ich it was mounted, and the stone buttress on which it was planted. After the accident the men continued the practice the rest of the morning, a rumor which may or may not be true, that while some of these guns were being “rifled” at the East recently, it was found that one lot of them was defective. A part of this lot had been shipped here, and orders were sent not to use them; but on their arrival they had been mixed M3 with the sound ones, so that no one knew which were the suspected. Svpsxct FoR INVESTIGATION.—The Nevada Mill at Gold Hill had to suspend operations last week, for the purpose of getting in new boilers, as the old ones were so encrusted with sediment, which seems to be of the nature of por. eelain, that the tubes could not be reached to ean them. It has been the custom of all the s inthe Territory, that use dirty water, to cleasheir boilers weekly, and sediment of the ture as is found at the Nevada Mill, is ll of them; the same objection in the t of tubes is also labored under. As t the Nevada Mill have to be relaced, ¢' erence is that other parties owna mills will have to follow suit. No analysis of the strange compound has yet been made, but it is very hard, and it is supposed to be composed of poisonous substances.—[ Virginia City Enterprise. GRAND COMBINATION. .

A report having beeo widely circulated to the effect that Jobn Conness, late Democratic candidate for Governor, was “endeavoring to bring about * reconciliation among the leaders of the two Democratic wings,” Mr. Gorbam, of the Marysville Democrat, addressed him on the subject, . and in answer, Mr. Conners states frankly pow he stands. He says: If every man in California were against the . Union, ad against yee the power of the Government to preserve itself, I would be fog both, against the — ; and I would seek some other place of abode. My opinions do not grow . out of the influence of my neighbors, but are . the result of my love of country and my estimate of its value. : . T have not associated and will not, knowingly associate myself with men who are secession. ists, disunionists, or traitors ; nor will I advise . others todo so. Treason is as foul a crime . now, as it was in the time of Benedict Arnold ; . and West Point was not worth more then, than . Manassas is now. Any opposition to our present nationality is treasonable, pending war; and ought to & punished by banishment from the State, or incarceration in prison. Upon the terms of Union, I can have political associa. tion, and upon none other. I care not whether . my associates come from one ey or another, so long as they are true upon the one vital point. No party can now be useful except to the extent to which they coutribute to thisgreat . cause. To the Democratic party as Buchanan made it, I am opposed. To the Democratic party as Douglas would redeem it, I am firmly attached and devoted; but my attachment and devotion to it goes no further than the extent to which it can Le made useful to the universal cause of civil liberty. You will perceive that . with me the Union is above party. It is a. crime now, to raise party above country ; or to . consider personal interests, pending the great . danger to all we have, as a people, that is worth preserving. That there are partisans base enough to do so weknow. Many of them show more talent for getting office, than patriotism . or a taste for war, but these things will be, no matter how much you and I may regret them.

FarLurers.— Quite an excitement was created on Saturday last by the failure of two heavy Marysville firms—Jobn C. Fall & Co., and J. H. Tennent & Co. It appears that both firms disposed of their assets to R. E. Brewster & Co., of San Francisco. . The Marysville Appeal, announcing the tailures, saya: The liabilities of Fall & Co. are quite exten. as the house has been engaged in an extended business, and the senior partner of the . firm has been largely connected with outside rties and other business arrangements. In . pe appears that the present embarrassments of the concern are chiefly owing to the heavy endorsements of Mr. Fall for parties who have failed to meet their obligations. As is well known, he has also been involved with numer. ous Washoe and other mining and speculating companies whose failure has left him the only responsible party in the association. We understand that the sale to Brewster & Co. has . been made to protect that concern, whose name is on Fall & Co.’s paper to a large amount. Of course many extravagant and foolish rumors . are on the street, but the general feeling seems . to be that Fall & Co. have done the best which . could be done under the circumstances, the . unior partner, Mr. Kinkead, having sacrificed . is own fortune to maintaia the credit of the . . concera. llar each way a ' Use or Postage Sramps.—The New . . York Post, in an article describing the de. . signs and method of manufacture. of the . new postage stamps, says; or obvious reasons it is manifest that the . . number of stamps to be used during the com. . ing year will show a marked decline from those . bn ee years which amounted to nearly . 216,000, he yearly increase has lately averaged 19,000,000, It is estimated that the number required for the next year will reach . . 200,000,000—thns throwing off the usual in. . crease, and 16,000,000 in addition on account of . the seceded States. Over 10,000,000 of the va. rious denominations have already been fur— to the de setae sea and the manufac. . a . re producing them at the rate of 1,300,. . similar movement is in progress in Ire . is, that although fifteen men stood immediately . using another gun of the same class. There 1s . , Estate in Tue ‘UNITED Kixepom.”’ Tie dupestiion of the Irish to seek fortuue in a foreign land is one ae Oe ae oprietary in . seat gree to a statistical table, ablished some years ago, the number of landed proprietors in Ireland was 10,000, in Scotland 3,000, in England 20.000, while in France the number was 3,000,000. Scotland, althongh only showing 3,000, was formerly divided ap among an immense num. ber of lairds, or small land owners. — But with the progress of eociety the habits of these underwent a change, and the lnirds in the majority of cases found that their estates vo longer yielded them incomes suffi. cient to maintain them as gentlemen, a coneequence of which was tbat in *he course of time, the entire number of landed proprietors in all Scotland became reduced to the number stated. We quote this to show that land, and that it has been rather assisted than retarded by the operation of the Encumbered Estates Court, The same Is the . case all over the United Kingdom, nod now . property is daily falling into the hands of . great monopolists, The result of this is to increase individual wealth, but to make the mass of the people dissatisfied. This was the case in France prior to the Revolution of 1787. and to the revolutionary condition of France at that time England, Ireland and Scotland are now approaching. The) causes may be swept away and the disaster . averted, but the probability of such occnrring isin the highest degree remote.—[N. Y. Herald. Expriosron oF A Corumprap.—On Friday morning last, as the gunners in Fort Alcatraz were practicing in shell firing with a new 32ounl Columbiad, the piece exploded, the fragments flying in all directions. One piece weighing 2,500 pounds was thrown to a distance of . fifty rods. ‘The most singular part of the affair about the gun at the moment of the explosion, no one was seriously injured, although one of the men had his clothes almost entirely blown . from his person. The gun was ge ong d ruined, together with the carriage on Ww ich it was mounted, and the stone buttress on which it was planted. After the accident the men continued the practice the rest of the morning, a rumor which may or may not be true, that while some of these guns were being “rifled” at the East recently, it was found that one lot of them was defective. A part of this lot had been shipped here, and orders were sent not to use them; but on their arrival they had been mixed M3 with the sound ones, so that no one knew which were the suspected. Svpsxct FoR INVESTIGATION.—The Nevada Mill at Gold Hill had to suspend operations last week, for the purpose of getting in new boilers, as the old ones were so encrusted with sediment, which seems to be of the nature of por. eelain, that the tubes could not be reached to ean them. It has been the custom of all the s inthe Territory, that use dirty water, to cleasheir boilers weekly, and sediment of the ture as is found at the Nevada Mill, is ll of them; the same objection in the t of tubes is also labored under. As t the Nevada Mill have to be relaced, ¢' erence is that other parties owna mills will have to follow suit. No analysis of the strange compound has yet been made, but it is very hard, and it is supposed to be composed of poisonous substances.—[ Virginia City Enterprise. GRAND COMBINATION. .
