OUR MILITARY OPERATIONS.

| We have taken occasion, from time to time, to
announce the determination Of the government to
prosecute the war with all possible vigor. Several
Of the federal journals have fit upon various oc
casons to anticipate the course of events, and to
show at once their rashness and their ignorance by
attempting to describe beforehand the particular
line Of operations about to be adopted. Some
of these predictions, we have noticed in sucf
manner as probably to prevent any of our readers
from being misled by them. For ourselves, we
deem it altogether incxpedient to publish to the
world, and of course to our enemies, what we may
know, or conjecture Is to the probable movements
ofour fleets or of our armies. E... ...... ....

sequence of some articles having appeared on the
French side OF the paper asserting certain doctrines
IN relation TO the manner of conducting the war with

in the manner mentioned in the Union, but coming
to an explanation with the proprietor of the paper,
he was informed that those articles had been insert,

Courier what his own views and sentiments on the

are such as the editor Of the Union, or any other
American patriot, cannot fail to approve On this

for San Pedro, where he landed with his gallant
sailor army, and marched directly for the re.

come within IL miles of the camp, Gen. Castro
broke ground and ran for the city of Mexico The
governor OF the territory, and the other principal
officers, separated in different parties; and on the
18Th August, having been joined by Col. Fremont
and 30 rlflemen, and by Mr.. Larkin, late American
consul, the commodore entered the famous "Ciu-
dad de los Angeles" the capital of the CALIFORNIA;
and took quiet possession of the governme n-hous
Most of the principal officers were subsequently
taken. a. ria :
The American force thus chased the Mexican arm v

dispersed them, and secured quiet possession of
their territory. Mf. .s. =. .'.s .h.f.r

ted States is now flying from every commanding po-
sition in the territory of California.
The patriotism and courage Of the men who ac-
companied the commodore on his expedition after
Castro, are spoken of in the highest teims. Their
march was trying and hazardous, perhaps longer
than has ever been made in tho interior of co9n-

To the Editor Of the Union:
On the spur of the occasion-an unlocked for
opportunity Of sending a letter. sit down up
on the grass to give you an imperfect sketch of
| the progress of our arms in this remote quarter.
General kearny has conquered New Mexico in a
march. The governor sent repeated messages for
| negotiation or delay, but we marched steadily on,
ana force double OF our own in numbers aban-
doned one of the strongest defIes in North Amer
lea and dispersed General Armijo retreated pre-
cipltately with the myrmdons Of his despotc rule,
losing his whole battery of eight pieces The gto-
rious stars and stripes now float over the Plaza of
Santa Fe ...T
The province has been occupied in its whole ex-
tent But kindly treatment and the institution of
just government--but, above all, expeditions to
put down the robber tribes Of mountain Indians
have caused complete affiliatlon.
On the 18th instant, the general marched from
Santa Fe, with 300 of the Dragons, on our peri
lous ana romantic expedition to the Pacific ocean,
to conquer and establish government for another
province Of imperial magnitude. Twelve hundred
miles Of mountain and desert are before us: onr
| route by the Rio Gila is only partially known by
traPpers. 1t had been folly to take our poor faith
full horses, and all are mounted upon mules.
We have much faith in the unvaryng fortune of
our leader; and shall we succeed in conquerng Cal
ifornia and in erecting free government there,
what troops will have endured the abors and met
with the important successes of his' What force
of near equal strength will have worked out so abid-
ing and national resultsi
say it, who perhaps should not, the nation will
then owe great debt to the first Dragons AL
though we have of late felt greatly sighted and hurt,
land promotions that we have long regularly been
entitled to have not been received still we patiently
devote every energy to the great work before US,
and will bide our time. .., . .a. .... T

him in this regioni His calm and able establish.
