SUNDAY MORNING, ‘SEPT. 1st.
THE NEWS.
There is much.of consequence in .the
_ Pony news, in our paper of to-day, taken
from the Democrat's extra of yesterday,
‘tame as it muy séem to seme people. There
are no battles in it, but it contains strong
evidence that tremendous preparations are
on foot to render the next battles: more
bloody and dedisive than those htherto
chronicled. by the Pony. There is, without
doubt, an immense Federal force now asseuwbled at Washington and along the line of the
Potomac, under the command of General
McClellan, a forward movement of which into Virginia will sqon be made. The occupntion-of Wiucheiter, by the column of Gen. .
Banks, if true, is the initiative of this forward movement.
<
There are ugly symptoms of intestine
trouble in Kentucky, between the Union
and Secession elements, and hostilities be
tween Kentucky and Tennessee are threatened. The Union men of Kentucky are
being armed by the Federal Government as
rapidly as possible, and General Anderson,
the here of Sumter, is now in command in
that State. The Legislature 1s overwhelm.
ingly for the Union, and there is some probability that Governor Magoffin will be impeached and United States Senators, Breck-jnridge aid Powell, requested to resign.
A new idea—or rather an old one revived
has been sanctioned by the Convention of
Weatern Virginia, lately sitting at Wheeling.
It is to make a separate State of Western
Virginia, under the, name of Kanawha.
There is still a spice of civil war in that region, & skiriish of some consequence having
occurred at Hawksville. There is nothing
in the present. news explanatory of the delicate position in which previous advices left
‘General Roseneranz.
The Federal Government, having effected
a loan of $150,000,000, from the Boston,
New York, and Philadelphia Banks, is now
flush with the sinews of war, and able to
push its military operations with stupendous
energy. An.army of half a million of meu,
well armed, well disciplined, well officered,
well provided, and well paid, isa tremendous
engine ; and it is diffigulé to imagine that the
Confederacy can successfully revist it. The
eool mpreing for the setting in of
which has been waiting, is
now ab, sd, and great. military movements
may now be momently looked for. General

» Yesterday closed the second volume of the
“ NevADA TRANSCRIPT,” and, to-day, we
issue the first number of the third. For one
whole year we Have been engaged in testing
the experiment of .4 daily paper in Nevada,
and have come to the conclusion that it is a
success. We have ‘never had occasion to

ousness to our merits. Our ambition, if we
had any, when we commenced the TRanSCRIPT, was to publish 4 little daily newspaper, of as good qualify, materially and intellectually, as our means and brains could
make if. We threw it into the newspaper
market, and let it take its chance. It was
the business of the public te decide whether
it should live—not ours—and the public
kindly decided that it should live. Had the
decision of the public been otherwise, we
might have experienced a feeling of disappointment, as all people do who ‘find they
Have brought their wares to a wrong market,
but we would have had-no reproaches to
vent upon anybody or anything, except upon
our own stupidity. The public have patronized us hberally. .They have given us
their money, and we have. the vanity to believe that we have given’them their money’s
worth. It has been, and is, a strict business
matter between the public and us, and we
are entirely satisfied with our side of the
bargain. py
In accordance with the pledge in our first
number, which was renewed in the commencement of the second volume, we have
been as careful as possible to keep our
fingers out of the filthy pool of party politics, unless, peradventure, our. undisguised
devotion to the American Union may have
innocently exposed us to the suspic'on of
such nasty dabbhng. Our business ig with
the great public and not with parties. We
owe no allegiance to the politicians, and
they have no claims upon us but the claim,
universally conceded by gentiemen of fair
dealing and honorable treatment.
With our best regards to the public, from
whose favorable appreciation we derive the
means of continuing our little TRANSCRIPT
in its path of prosperity, we take the liberty
of presenting to that public the first number
of our third volume.

News FROM PHiL. Moore.—A traveling
correspondent of the Alta California, (J. RB.
R.,] now on a visit to Salt Luke City, from
which city he writes, was, it seems, a fellow
passenger with Phil. Moore. in the overland
mail coach, from Placerville to the capital of
Mormondom. In his first letter, published
some days since, J. R. R. mentioned a crazy
fellow passenger, who anneyed all hands with
his vageries, but without naming him. In
his second letter, dated Salt Lake City, Aug:
13th, and which appears in last Thursday’s
Alta, J. R. R. thus explains the matter:
I mentioned the circumstances of one of
my fellow-passengers becoming excited and
delirious-and not, I think, without cause,
aa the séquel will show. He joined us at
Placerville, without baggage or a change of
clothing of any kind, only the clothes be
stood in, of gentlemanly-appearnce,-and who
entered into conversation which soon found
us, as with everybody else at these times,
diescusing the affairs of the nation. None
would have inferred from his remarks that
he was a secessionist, in fact, he said he
was not. He was a native of Baltimure,
and bound for yee City. :
Upon our arrival at Carson City, while at
the dinner table, he asked what preparation
it required for an overland tmp,and remarked
that he had a mind to keep on.
he was jesting, tillafter the stage had started
and who should appear but the above deséribed gentleman, who, a
name, ag we were then to be fellow travelers
for a time, proved to be “Mr. Moore, Phil.
