Miles West of Fort Kearney-Aug. M-The
pony express passed here at ten O'Clock this
morning, bringing the following news from
the Pacific coast, dated at San Francisco,
Aug. 10th:
The market is slightly more active. There
is no state news ofimportance. George Hud
SON the San Francisco justice OF the peace,
who, in 1859, fined the propretors OF the Bull
letin newspaper one hundred dollars each for
publishing the confession of Mrs. Sckles, on
the ground that it was not fit for publication,
has obtained verdict in Judge Hager's court
of one hundred and fifty dollars damages
against the Bulletin propretors because they
called him Dogberry.

ton concerning who is to command the 1000
troops called for from California, and how
they are to serve ON the plains. They are to
be organized agreeably to the request OF Mr..
Cameron, secretary of war. The governor
has commissioned Col Carlton, Of the U. 5.
army, to be the chief in command, and Maj.
j. II. West of San francisco, second in com
mand, taking charge of the cavalry There
is no doubt that the whole 1900 will be rapidly
raised for the duty assigned them. Five
companies-mostly infantry-were accepted
to-day, in this cit". Military men, however,
are ambitious TO see active service against Il
civilized enemy, rather than to roam over the
plains. A guard of twenty five United States
infantry and lieutenant, went down in the
last Panama steamer to escort the treasure as
far as Aspinwall

-four and ground wheat, including five
hundred bushels belonging 10 the rebel army
at mill owned by Herr A. Welsh They
also disabled the mill from grinding for sever
al months to come. There were no rebel
troops at the ferry, but their pickets frequent
ly came in sight
There were, it is supposed, about five hun
bred rebel troops at Charlestown. Our army
is now resting where the climate is salubrious
and the water excellent Intelligence from
the other side of the Potomac shows that the
rebels have drawn to Leesburg all their regu
lar forces from Charlestown, Winchester, and
other points above, and concentrated them at
Leesburg, where their army numbers from
eleven to Twelve thousand men, Capt. Hem
dersons home guard alone remain in Jefferson

AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, August Z4-George
r. Smith OF Pettis county has been appointed
adutant general OF the state, and John Howe
police commissioner for St Louis.
RoLLA, Mo, Aug. "a Lieut.. Col. Albert
of tht third Missouri regiment, and eight or
ten other officers who have been prisoners in
the hands of the rebels at Springfield, arrived
this morning. They were leased on parole,
subject to such arrangements as may be en-
tered into between the confederate and United
States.
A great many contradictory reports us to
present and future movements of the rebels are
in circulation, but the real purpose of the enc.
my can only be conjectured. They seem now
to be more anxious to obtain subsistence than
TO make offensive movements for that pur-
pose
ST. LOUIS, Aug 25.-Mr. Caldwell, who
was indicted for treason by the grand jury at
the last term of the United States circuit court,
was taken prisoner ON Tuesday last, in Lewis
county, by Col. Woldyard's home guards,
while at the head of one hundred armed
men. He was turned over by the military
authorities into the hands OF the United States
marshal on Saturday, and lodged in Jail.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE CORE
spondent of the St. Louis democrat furnishes
the following under this date :-"Gen. Raines
issued an order soon after his arrival, to seize
all the medicine and hospital stores in tie fed
eral hospital here, thus deprivng about four
hundred of our wounded troops of medical
treatment. A part of the medicine was sub
sequently restored by order of Gen. Price.
With few exceptions, our sick and wounded
are doing well, and will return their home in a
few days. All our wounded could not be
brought off the field, in consequence of the
scarcity of wagons, but they were treated
where they lay. Many of the wounded were
stripped of all their clothing by the enemy,
and sent to town naked, and every man lying
on the field had his pocket picked.
JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. % The following
proclamation is issued -" Whereas, the power
of the civil authority is insufficient to protect
the lives and property of the citizens of the
state, l, Hamilton r. Gamble, governor of Mis-.
souri, do hereby call into active service of the
state $4,000 men of the militia of the state as
signing six thousand as the quota to each mill
tary district, which is the same as congress
sional district. The force thus called into
service will be as far as possible volunteer
force and will consist OF 10000 cavalry and
$4,000 infantry. If the number of volunteers
should exceed this requisltion the excess will
be held as reserve corps. If there should
be a deficiency 1t may become necessary to
resort to draft. The adjutant general will
issue to the division inspectors of the several
military districts the orders necessary TO carry
into effect this requisition. The force thus
called out will be for six months unless peace
in the state shall be sooner restored. Arms
will be provided as rapidly as they can be had.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
state, at Jefferson City, this Oath day Au-
gust, in the year 1861.
