This is t. e title Of the seditiOuC or

Southern counties, where such societ-

Whatever doubts some people may
have entertained, as to the existence
of these societies. they, may now be

Batteries ON the Potomac.

The enemy are reported to have
planted several powerful batteries on
the shores of the Potomac. Some of
them were probably originally erected
to prevent the Union forces from land
ing at important points on the Virgin
ia shore, aud others for aggressive
purposes 1t is no doubt part of their
plan to control and prevent the navi-
cation of tie river, so that if by any
misfortune to our arms direct commu-
nications between Washington and
the North are cut off, they can also
render it difficult and dangerous to
send succor from the sea to belea-
guered capital The recent attacks
upon our ships have disclosed the ex-
act location previously concealed) Of
several of these hostile works. 1t is
quite possible that, since! they have
thus been anmasked, an attempt will
be made before many days to capture
or destroy them.

RUMoR OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SECLs4
Delta of September Goth, gives the follow
ing:
A report is in limited circulation here to
the effect that Judge Terry and Dan Showal-
ter, formerly of Mariposa, left Murphy's, CAL
averas county. last week, with two hundred
and seventy men, to 90 down on the other
side of the Sierras, through the Tcjon Pass,
to Los Angeles There too, it is expected
other parties will join, to wit: Tom Laspeyre
of Stockton, with one hundred men, who go
down the coast road Reinforcements are
expected on the route by each of the parties
mentioned. We do not believe the report,
yet there may be something and considerable
in it. Between twenty and thirty men, to a
greater or less degree armed and all mounted,
left here yesterday morning for somewhere
down South. One of the principal men of
the party with whom we were acquainted
stated that he and company were going home
through Texas.
The Atlas Los Angeles correspondent
states positively that the Secession emigrants
from California have located camp Just be-
yond the Southern boundary of the State, at
place called Grace Camp, on the Colorado
river. twenty or thirty miles below the
mouth of the Gia, near the point where New
river takes its water from the Colorado. 1t
is, he says, the general rendezvous, and to
this place armed travellers are now hurry
ing from California Temporary supplies have
been provided at that place for their subsist-
ence. Military and commissary stores for
that point have been shipped from San Franz
cisco. These men will cooperate with an
expected army of invasion from the East
capture Fort Yuma, and march upon this
part of the State whenever the resident
ehieftains here, having prepared the people
and their plans, shall give the signal of re-
volt, or ihey will engage in any enterprise
which may be determined on at headquar
ters.
