Office, No. 26 Co 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 McClellan having wisely embargoed the. © feporters, wo may, henceforth, get something from Washington in the shape of news entitled to our confidence. New Yor« Scyrun Recimenr —The New York Ezpress, of August 18th, re. fers toa movement in that city to get up a Some aeGuene in this city ‘ 18 are ehdea tos 'p agimealto be armed are considered the most: ~~ OUR NEW VOLUME. a neat car eae » 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 grumble at our want of patronage, vor scold. 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. 1 Moore, late Speaker of the house of Representatives of California-” “He hed not been home for thirteen years, and falling in o wender he became delirious and wetcad peso ta the outward te 8 us to detention—that he saw b ed, and“Indians seeking his life, for it turned raph rotect him from tion with an acquaintanee, and under the confiding influences -of treq hquor, that he. was on the way te join J ! i 43 : our fellow citizens because of their oblivi. I thought with myself and fellow passenger, but a shout was heard, “hold on, anether passenger,” inquiring his with such agreeable traveling companions, he had changed his route and embraced the age opportunity to visit bis friends!” 8 a8 men, maskout upon his arrival here, while in conversavent drinks of army—surely a guilty censcience needed no other accuser—and "tis a t , ng oppositign pity that die wild imsoings bad. nob be .

Sr. Josepn, Aug. 23d. Much anxiety was felt the other day as to Wasbington City. Great events were undoubtedly anticipated to take place, but u to this time nothing unusual has’ transpired. Troops in large numbers are daily arriving in the Capital. all, it will be on the part of Gen. MeClellan with the Federal forces against the Confederates. It is not believed that the latter‘will attempt to advance on Washington. ~ The. Government loan of $150,000,000, taken by the banks of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. will be a relief, and very ‘tnaterially aid the negotiation of a loan from Europe, should the Government desire hereafter to raise more money. Gen. Fremont is gathering around him at St. Louis,a very large army, which will soon be in motion. The States of Indiana, Illinois and Lowa, are pouring in forces to him constantly. Col. Frank Blair’s regiment. is being reorganized, and be~ will command it in person.’ ~ The Confederates were very much crippled in the battle at Springfield, Mo., and it is hardly possible that they will advance against the superior forees of Fremont,” He is very energetic and active, and inspires a great deal of confiderce. Gen. Anderson, of Sumter notoriety, left Washington on the 19th, to assume the charge of his command in Kentucky. The General Government has furnished Kentucky with 20,000 Minnie rifler, with a fair proportion of ammunition. A good deal of excitement exists there at present,.and difficulties are expected. 4,000 Union troops are already encamped near Crab Orchard, Ky. Tae Louisville Journal of the 20th, uses the following languagé:—We say to the Union men of Kentucky, be ready—lose-no delay of orgamzing .in the most. thorough manner in every neighborhood — perfect yourselves in military discipline. There is a fearful persecution of Union men in the district represented by Burnett, ot Kentucky. The Legislature is largely Union. The Senate stands thirty to eight. It is thought Gov. Magoffin will be impeached, and Breckinridge and Pomel requested to resign. A conflict between Tennessee and Kentucky appears to be certain. The estern Virginia Convention, sitting at Wheeling, have resolved upon the plan for a new State, to be called Kanawha. Gov. Gamble, of Missouri, has, ordered out the military of the State to resist the advance of troops under ex-Gov. Jackson. Prince Napoleon is to be in St. Louis next week. He was the.guest of Gen. Cass when at Detroit. He travels without any parade, and is desirous to avoid any display. The King of Sweden was on a visit to Napoleon, at Paris. ; ‘he War Department has information that leada to the belief that the rebels have withdrawn a mile beyond Fairfax Court House, leaving only pickets at the village. To-morrow Gen. McClellan assumes the command of all the troops on the Potomac. Intelligence is received’ of the intended intervention of England, France and Spain, in Mexican affairs. Itis also saidtheir action is intended to embrace in some form the recommendation of the Southern Confederacy, provided, assurance can be had that the South will not make attempts at conquest in that direction. We do not learn that any official representation of this subject has been received by our Government, but the foreign relations are well informed of it. The steamer Webster arrived’ at New York, and. reports being chased by a privateer. Also the bark Cornelia was ‘chased. The Sumter put into the port of Trinidad to coal. The Jeff Davis was seen in Mona Passage on the }0th inst., where she took a schooner. It seeins that the privateer Sumter is still at liberty. A letter dated Chiriqui, August 7th, is recerved, saying the Sumter had taken two vessels off Saguira— the schooner Anna Brandon and bark Jos. Maxwell. From: Gallipolis, Ohio; we learn that a skirmish took place on the 20th, at Hawks400 strong, advanced to where the Ohioans had erected barracks and were driven -back with a loss of fifty killed and a considerable number wounded and taken prisoners. Our loss was none killed and two slightly wounded and one missing. Our ferce captured — a nuniber of horses and equipmente: y a steamer from Kanawha we have another report that O.
