MILITARY MATTERs-MovE OF TRooPs
The United States steamer Active left this
port on the 9th, with between TWO and three
companies of regular infantry, en- route for
Los Angeles. These troops are to take the
place of the two companies of infantry ordered
to Fort Yuma, Oh the Colorado river, and now
ready to march. These companies will de-
part as soon as the steamer arrives with the
men TO take their places. The reinforcement
going forward TO Yuma will make that garri>
son at that place four companies, and as the
post is strong one, and supplied with arlil-
lery. it may not be so easily taken as were
some of the posts in Arizona and Texas.where
treathery was the cause of the surrender.
There are four companies Of United States
Infantry stationed at San Bernardino, where,
it is understood, a considerable body of seces
sionists have congregated. 1t was reported
that about election day the troops were to be
attacked, and word was sent TO Los Angeles
Tor relnforcements. Two companies of Cav
airy, which lin addition to two companies of
Infantry were encamped at Los Angeles,
were ordered out to San Bernardino, thus
checking, by an overwhelming force, any overt
act The Dragons, we understand. have since
returned to their post at Los Angeles.
At San Diego there is one company of Reg
u!ar Infantry, which will at present remain at
that post. From the foregoing statement it
will be seen that the places where the seces-
sion element has been concentrating, are prop
erly taken care of, and, as we understand it,
should any attempt be made of an open na>
ture, summary measures will be taken to nip
treason in the bud-hta.

CosT OF FURNISHING TRooPs IN CALIFoR>
SIA.-We learn from prominant army officer
stationed on this coast, that the money expend
ed for the equipping and fitting out of Col
Carleton's Overland expedition alone. at the
present time. exceeds the amount which Cali
fornians will have to pay Tor their proportion
OF the war tax. At this rate, in pecunary
point of view, our State will be a gamer by
the present war The estimate OF Col Carl
tones expedition reaches half million of dol,
lars, which has been telegraphed for, and it is
believed that this estimate will fall short Of
the actual expenditure Had it not been that
hfty wagons and mules were now in the Quar-
termaster's Department and ready for use, the
expense for transportation would be greatly
enhanced. The army to be organized and
commanded by Gen. Sumner, the destination
of which is supposed to be Texas, will have
to be thoroughly equipped aud furnished in
this State. This army will probably consist
of FIVE or six thousand men, The above 6e.
ures will indicate what large amount of mo.
ney will be required for war purposes.

ARMY STATIsTICs.-The largest armies ever
assembled on this continent were those engaged
at the battle of Bull Run, in which were near
ly 100000 engaged. In the French and
English war of IVA 93, the British army of
10000 men, under General Abercrombie,
which attacked T'iconderoga, was the largest
army formed dnring the war. During the
Revolution, the British force which attacked
New York numbered 10000, and the Ameri-
can force which was driven from there, con-
sisted of 27000, all told, though but little
over half were fit for duty The American
force which compelled the British to evacuate
Boston, numbered 10000 Washington's force
at Yorktown, which captured the army of
CORVALLIS, consisted of $4,000 French and
Americans. In the war of 1872, the British
force which attacked New Orleans numbered
