Worm ArrENTIoN.-The correspondent of
the San Francisco Alta, in communication
from Los Angeles, of recent date, says of
certain movements in that quarter:
number of bands of horses, numbering
from fifteen to thirty each, have been stolen.
Small parties Of from three to twenty persons
each have been nightly passing through this
county from the northwest to the southeast.
In some instances three or four squads of
armed men have passed given point in one
night. Some parties have left this city and
other settlements in the county. For coup.
lie of days and the intervening night, the
blacksmith shops at Ell Monte were unremit.

ting arties. This stream of armed men to-
ward tho Colorado is ominous. They are
without wagons. and but rarely have pack
mule. They generally pass this noighbor-
hood in the night. l have information which
think reliable, that to-day week a company
of not less than one hundred men, well
mounted, each armed with rifle and pair
of Colts revolvers, came into the road at
Temecula. about one hundred miles from
this place, slept at farm, and the following
day proceeded on their way toward the Col
orado river. Their general rendezvous is on
the Colorado near New River, where military
stores save been taken up the Gulf of Cali.

TELEcRAPHIc IxPKovrxESrs.-Mr. Green
wood, the contractor for the reconstruction
Of the telegraph from Folsom, California, to
this city, completed his contract ON Friday.
The line is one of the finest on the Pacific
coast the poles set are the genuine tama-
rack, and two wires will be substituted for
| the single one. 1t is also the intention Of the
Telegraph Company to reconstruct the line
between this city and Fort Churchill, in a
similar manner, running branch line to
Virginia, Gold Hill and Silver City. Here
tbfore, there has been but one wire, which
run on poles of Indifferent symmetry or du-

HORRIBLE AccIpENT.-On Saturday morn
ing, at the Eagle Point Company's shaft, in
the Wisconsin District, near Washoe Valley,
Emerson Morse was suddenly killed, by be-

Notice.
Movements of the Grand Amy.

By this time, doubtless, the Federal troops
have taken up the line of march towards the
South, to recover from the rebel States the
property taken by them from the United
States Government, to place it in condition
that will be secure in the future from all
felonious attempts by States or mobs to seize
or despoil it, and to uphold and maintain the
might, the majesty and supremacy of law
and order for all coming time. Surely no
grander mission ever awaited q military
movement. 1t is worthy OF the age and
the cxigency which calls it forth.
Contemporaneously with this advance, the
gallant General Anderson, the pride of Ken
lucky, who stood the fire of shot, shell and
famine at Sumter for so long time, will
advance in the same direction from Ken
tucky, who nobly seconds his movements
A feet of gunboats, said to be impervious to
assault, will drift down the Mississippi, and
BY the 4th of March next the war will be
over That we will experience reverses and
defeats in the mean time is highly probable.
The nation is prepared to endure. In the
alenlbic of trial and misfortune the nation
has been tried before, but it has only come
out the brighter, purer and stronger than
ever. The sons of those who bore alike the
blistering sun on Long Island andthe deadly
cold of Valley Forge are not prone to be dis
comitted by defeat and disaster, however Of.
ten repeated. In that lexicon made by our
nations history, " there is no such word as
fall" The advance from Washington will
meet early opposition. JEFF. Davis, and that
French creole who has cut so wide swath,
make their stand near Fairfax Court House,
afew miles from Washington, and at Rich
mond, but little less remote. will no doubt
hazard battle as quick as tho advance
movement on our part is commenced. What
ever their military skill may be, and we
grant that it is considerable, they will have
to give way to the sheer force of numbers, if
IL be nothing else. No obstruction can stay
the advance Of $50, 900 determined men, un-
der the lead of the best military talent in the
country, well munitioned and supplied with
every needful comfort and warlike appliance.
In view of all these things, we speak hopeful
ly of tho future. All that has yet been done
will be only by way of prelude, trying a
string or two to see if the instrument could
be made to sound at all.

The Trustees of Calvary Church, lately
under the ministrations of DR.. Scott, have

The Albany Journal apprehends that Eng.
land and France will dec lare the blockade OF
Southern ports insufficient. The World says
it was blunder in the first place, declaring
blockade of ports of entry clearly and ip-
dispatably within the Jurisdiction of the
Government. All that was necessary to for
eign powers was to declare the abolishment
of those ports as entry ports. Then, all that
would have been necessary, would have
been to enforce the declarations as against
| the rebels. This view seems rational.

THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER on WAR.-Whcn
national rights are to be vindicated. do not
repudiate the resort to physical force-l do
not abhor the use Of arms. There are occa.
sions when arms alone will suffice; when po.
litical ameliorations call for drop of blood
aye, for many thousand drops Of blood.
Opinion, admit, sir, may be left to oper.
ate against opinion. But force must be used
against force The soldier is proof against nm
argument, but not against bullet. The man
that will listen to reason, let him be reason
ed with. But it is only the weaponed arm Of
the patriot, that can prevail against battal.
ioned despotism. Therefore, sir, do not
condemn the use of arms as immoral, nor do
conceive it profane to say, that the King Of
Heaven, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Battles,
bestows his benediction upon those who un.
sheath the sword in the hour of nation 8
peril.
Be it in the defence, or be it in the asser.
ton of peoples liberty, hail the sword as
a sacred weapon and if it has sometimes
taken the shape Of the serpent, and Redeemed
the shroud of the oppresser with too deep .
dye, yet, sir, like the annointed rod of the
High Priest, it has at other times, and as Of.
ton, blossomed into celestial flowers to deck
the freeman's brow.
Abhor the sword? Stigmatize the sword
MOI for in the passes Of the Tyrol it cut to
pieces the banner of the Bavarian, and thro'
tho craggy defles struck . path to fame for
the peasant insurrectionist of Innsbruck |!

of the fine old towns of Belgium-scourged
them back to their own phlegmatic swamps,
and knocked their flap and sccpter, their laws

TIE CAPTURE OF FoRr HArrrKAs.-The
fact of tho re-taking of Fort Hatteras by the
Federal forces has had wonderful effect mp.
on the public mind in the rebel States, but
more especially in North Carolina and South
ern Virginia. In these quarters the excite.
ment occasioned was terrific. The Raleigh
Standard suys that an account of the affair
was read in their Legislature, and adds that
" for the credit of the State, we forbear to
describe the effect it produced" We are
afraid that there was some terrible swearing,
and other unseemly speech indulged in on
the occasion referred to by the Standard
They begin to feel the power of the Govern
ment they have de6ed. and they will, by the
blessings Of God and Mcclellan, feel it yet
moro. The Importance q this point can rss
be over-estimated. 1t is in itself blockade
of the Carolina coast. Troops going up to
join Beauregard's brigades were stopped, as
they would be needed, it was thought, to d..
fend North Carolina. This post will be a
powerful auxiliary to our army, and its cap.
