CAPT. CAMPBELL's CoMPANY.-Tbe follow
ing, from communication to the Sacramento
Union, dated Camp Alert, September Both,
in reference to the company which left here
under command of Capt. Campbell, and which
was subsequently disbanded, casts some light
upon the affair:
Last Saturday we were considerably sur
prised at being ordered, after the evening drill,
to stay in our quarters and hold ourselves in
readiness to turn out at moments notice.
After watching deal of knowing winks and
smiles exchanged by the officers, l learned that
the cause of the mysterious order was an an
ticipated mutny in the Oroville Company,
Capt. Campbell, in consequence of their refu-
sing to connect themselves with Capt. Falls
company of San Francisco for the purpose of
forming one company and electing new officers
The Oroville company averred, as a reason for
disobeying orders, that the other company had
the majority of votes, which gave them no
chance of success in the election. But every
thing was quiet that night and after commu-
nicating with General Sumner, the latter de-
termined that they should obey orders or be
discharged. The latter alternative was unani-
mousy chosen by the company, and in conse
quence of which, next morning the Quarter
master took away from them what blankets
branded 4" U. S." were found in their posses
sion, which, in fact, was all the property they
had of Uncle Samuel's, excepting what they
had devoured and the company, headed by
| the First Lieutenant, was marched out and
discharged. / understand that on arriving at
San Francisco, they employed an attorney to
commence an action against the Paymaster of
the United States for their pay and bounty.

discovered to be on fire. Those in attendance
succeeded in saving the old mill. If we are

of great value,-it being an elegant and sub

POSITION OF KENTUcKY.-The following,
from the Missouri Republican, illustrates the
position Kentucky now occupies:
Kentucky is now finally and irrevocably
fixed in hostility to the war scheme of the
leaders of the Southern Confederacy. As
with Missouri, so with Kentucky; the dis
unionists would not permit her to assume and
preserve position of neutrality. They de-
manded that both States should cast off their
loyalty to the Union and our Federal Govern
ment, and take their lot with the ntriguers,
who scorned and despised them when they
made overtures for mutual concession, compro-
mise and peace. Having made war upon
Missouri, they have at length invaded Ken
lucky, and, as the Legislature of that Com
monwealth truly say they insoently dictate
the terms upon which they will retire" But
the movement upon the soil of Kentucky has
not been received with the favor upon which,
doubtless, the Confederates calculated 1t has
aroused the indignation and vengeance of the
people, who are at length determined that if
peace is not to be had on honorable terms, in
war they will at least not strike against the
stars and stripes. We apprehend that enlist
ments to drive out the invaders will now pro-
gress rapidly, and soon we shall expect to see
an army of some of the best fighting stock in
the country arrayed in Southern Kentucky to
meet and vanquish the insolent foe. Well
done, Kentucky

THE Folly OF CANrING ABOUT COMPROMISE.
Concerning that portion of Illinois designated
Egypt, the Missouri Republican says:
We are informed by gentleman just from
the Ninth Congressional District that there
has been a complete revolution among the
people on the war question. John A. Logan
Congressman from that district, has been ap-
pointed Colonel, and has his regiment about
ready to take the field. Many who few days
ago were Of the compromise stamp are now
enthusiastic for the war. Logan declares that
be and other compromise men in Congress met
in a secret conclave and determined to make
last effort. They sent May to Richmond to
ascertain if the Conederates would entertain,
accept or offer any compromise No compro-
mise could be agreed upon they utterly relu-
sing, even though blank sheet of paper be
given them, to write their own terms. Logan
declares their intention is to fight, and calls
upon all Democrats to rally around the old
flag, and thwart them in their diabolical efforts
to DESTROY the Government.

GRAND RoNDE MINEs.-A correspondent OF
the Portland Advertiser, writing from Orc
Fino September 18th, says:
We return after journey of between ff-
teen and sixteen hundred miles wtout finding
any prospect whatever on the following streams,
upon which gold had been reported to have
been discovered. Crooked river, Buck creek,
and the Mulheir river and its tributaries
These are not all the streams that we prospec-
ted on Meeks' trail, but many others, without
getting the color We prospected Burnt river,
where we could raise the color, but that was
ALL From Burnt river we crossed the dividing
ridge and spent some time in prospecting the
tributaries OF Powder river, where by great
deal of labor we could get as much as three
cents to the pan-all from the bedrock
Leaving this stream, we crossed the Blue
Mountains and struck on the head of Grand
Ronde river forty or fifty miles above and
south of the old immigrant road. We spent
several days prospecting. We sunk several
holes on the bars where we would get from one
to twenty-nine cents to the pan. The gold
that we obtained exceeds anything in fneness
OF quality that l have seen since l have been
IN this mining region and | am tolerably con-
ylnced that there can be made from five to ten
dollars per day to the hand, if men are proper
y fixed to work. l have spent the most of the
time that | have been here on the Orc Fino
and Rhodes creeks, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what kind of prospects men are working
Tor, and Also what men are making per day
and It IS only by making such examination
that have come to the conclusion as above,

DIFFICULTY OF HANDLING LARGE BODIES OF
TRooPs.-The following exract from q late
English letter may be interesting to some
editors who think they know more about
military science than do any of our Generals {:
fear there will be much ignorant impa-
tience at the mistakes which must inevitably
take place in handling very large bodies of
troops. Lord Clyde, after fifty years expiri-
eHce, with great ability in handling division
well, in front of the enemy made some terrible
mistakes when he had 10000 men to command; 4;
and these were regular troops What, then,
must be the difficulties of Scott and his officers
with such vast bodies Of irregulars to move
The duke of Wellington, in giving his testi-
mony on the probability of French invasion,
said there were not three old general officers
in the English army who could handle 100000
men without throwing them into confusion.-
And it now turns out that the French officers
at Salferino made such mess with their $780,
600 men that any body but the Austrians
could have routed them. | shall not be sur
prised, therefore, to hear of some serious mis-
adventures in Gen. Scotts advance into the
South, and only trust that the North, like the
Romans after Canae, will support their gene
rails more resolutely after reverse than before.

MINES IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY. "A
correspondent of the Sacramento Union at
Elk City, Washington Territory, writes under
date of September 18th as follows:
Since my last nothing of interest has occur
red We had on Tuesday last light shower
of rain in the valleys, with snow on the nouns
tains. The weather is, however, as pleasant
as midsummer.
New placers are discovered almost every
day. and the claims opened prove fully equal
to expectation, but nothing that pays over an
ounce above expenses.
+ Supplies are arriving in great abundance,
with heavy Shipment, on the way-suficient,
probably for the Winter. Prices remain as
reported last week. One small lot of -four, to
close, was sold at Sl5 per 100 Tbs. Bacon is
scarce with considerable quantities on the
way-selling at 40 cents, very slow. Beef
abundant, and very good-delivered to miners
at 10 cents. OF groceries, there is moderate
supply on hand, with considerable shipments
to arrive, without change in prices.
Amount of gold dust taken in exchange for
goods for the week ending Wednesday, Sept.
18th, 304 ounces, against 220 to same period
of last week.
1t is matter of surprise to many that in a
gold field so extensive as this there should not
be found some very rich deposits, especially
when so many of the mines pay half an ounce
and more to the hand. This, however, is read
lily accounted for in the fact that we have but
very little precipitation, and that, too, nearly
all snow, and upon a very porous surface, and
that in climate both by latitude and altitude
that forbids any sudden freshets or great delu-
ges, so that the water makes its way by easy
stages to the gulches and creeks without any
wash leaving the deeomposed quartz and
granite with the gold almost as they were in
the solid ledge. If we had heavy showers of
rain or sudden thaws, then would we find very
rich deposits here as were found in California.
AS it is, we find high benches and numerous
gulches land they are almost without limit,)
paying fully as well as the best river mines
1t must be said, however, that no one as yet
can form any jast estimate Of the extent or
productiveness of these mines They doubt
less only form link of that vast aurferous
belt of which Washoe and Carriboo are i'm
