DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

WASHINGTON, March A. The President disap.
proves of the action taken by Governor Houston
in calling out volunteers in Texas to defend the
frontie
1t is now positively stated that the President has
ordered large reinforcement of United States
troops into Texas for the protection Of the frontier
from further outrages.
The report that unconditional orders had been
sent to the commandantslof the troops in New
Mexico and elsewhere to pursue Cortina and his
band, and any other band of marauders, and cap.
ture them, whether in or out of Mexico, is incor-
rect, although negotiations are now pending be-
| tween our Government and that of Juarez, by vir-
tue of which it is expected that permission will
shortly be granted for our troops to march into
Mexico.
1t is believed, however, that Gen. Houston will
not wait for the federal troops but will accept the
services of as many volunteers as can be speedily
equipped, and march them to the frontier and into
Mexico, if necessary.
A report is in circulation that Gen. Houston in
tended taking command of the expedition, and
marching into Mexico with a sufficient force to
conquer and hold the country as far as Monterey.
This report has gained some credence from the re-
port that Maj. McGulloch, of Texas, had received
orders from Governor Houston to return immed
ately to Texas to take command of a regiment Of
volunteers.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Goy. Houston's letters
to the President state that he has received more
than eighty applications from parties who desire to
raise volunteer companies to defend and protect
the frontier of Texas from further invasions.
Gov Houstonshas advised such companies to be
raisedand placed under the command of skilful
officers in every county along the frontier of Texas
He advises these companies to be always ready to
defend the country, and in case of alarm to pur-
sue and exterminate all warlike forces who may
dare to cross into Texas for the purpose Of raw.
aging the country.
ST. LOUIS, March 1.-The Overland California
Mail of the 10th ult., brings the following additional
advces from San Francisco and the gold regions.
DR.. Robert P. Chase, of San Francisco, formerly
of ST. Louis, NO., has been arrested on the charge
of adulterating acids, used for refining gold at the
mint. His object in accomplishing this feat was to
reduce the value Of acids Of rival manufacturers,
and to obtain contracts for himself.
Three very rich silver mines have lately been
discovered in Calaveras county.
The Mapa County Silver Mine has turned out to
be Cennabar.
1t is reported that rich and valuable gold dig
gings have been discovered in Galaveras county.
Extensive veins Of gold are easy of access in
Touloume county.
The mills for crushing quartz are progressing
favorably.
The news from the mining regions throughout
the State are very cheering.
The news from the Washoe gold and silver mines
are very favorable
1t is feared that the cheering accounts received
from the Carson Valley, will cause depopulation
in the mining localities of the State of California
as soon as the spring season opens. One of the
claims in this locality to silver Lode has just been
sold for $4,000.
