here last night.
Three thousand passengers had
arrived at San Francisco during the

East from San Francisco. by the
Butterfeld Ronte, and would proba-
bly, reach Visalia. two hundred and
fifty miles from San Francisco, by
the lst OF January.
More improvements were going
on IN San Francisco than at any
time sihce 1854, and it is claimed
that the city is in more prosperous
condition generally, than at any pc
rind since the revulsion Of 1855.

tries were doubled; no foes appeared,
however.
How they are expected to arrive
is not stated. but as the country is
being patrolled for twenty miles
around, it must be by the under

good authority. that Governor Wise
has sent spies into Ohio and Penn
sylvania, and it ia from their reports
that large bodies Of men are arming
and moving toward Virginia that
the military forces are being so
largely augm nted. About seven
hundred troops have arrived here
since Saturday. including two com
panies from Wheeling, SO that we
have now about one thousand five
hundred military under arms.
A letter from Huntingdon county,
cennsylvanin, states that large bodies
of armed men are moving towards
Virginia, across North Mountain,
supposed to be on their way to
Charlestown. These reports are the
cause Of constant panic. All is quiet
today and arrangements are being

whole range Of even the Democratic
press, not excepting the New York
Uerald, well known as the "Satan

duce a single paragraph to sustain
this charge. Big stories as they
have put in circulation, they never
attempted to tax the credullty OF the
people thus far. Such q bold feat at
manufacturing buncombc, was left
to this valorous adjunct of the edit
