SILVER IN CALIyoRNIA.-All through
California and Utah silver has been dis
covered in some considerable quantities. It
believed that it is also richly imbedded
throughout the California mountains in their
extensions through Oregon and Washington
Territory, and British Columbia. The
richness of mines in Western Utah, partic-
ularly in Washoe, turned attention to the
subject throughout the whole Pacific coun-
try. 1t is we'll known that silver is gener
ally found in the same mines with gold, but
the fact that it is seldom native causes it to
be less noticed. Silver is oftener found in
the form or suIphurets, or mingled with
gold, lead, tin or copper. The silver min
ing business is commenced on limited
scale in connection with gold mining, both
minerals being found in the same quartz,
in some instances the gold being largely
alleged with silver.

LETTER FROM The SECOND REGIMENT.
We are permitted to make the following
extracts from letter received yesterday,
from Lieut.. G. s. Uline, dated
CAMPBELLsvILLE, KY, Jan. 3.
1.-THE first day of the new year, we started
on our march for Columbia, camping at two
O'Clock P. ~, and starting again the morning
of the I'd at seven O'Clock, and arriving at this
point at two o clock PM, where we encamped
and stayed to-day, awaiting the arrival OF the
18th regulars, with the Quartermasters' stares.
The 9th Ohio is with us, and just to our rear
is Col. Manson's brigade of four regiments,
which we passed yesterday.
"When we arrive at Columbia, there will be
about 1000 troops there, and their mission no
one knows, unless it be to cut off the retreat
of Buckner from Bowling Green, as he is sur
rounded by Union troops from every other
point. have thought, perhaps, that they
would accustom US to marches, first at IL or
Is miles day, until our feet were hardened,
then shove us through to Knoxville, Tennessee,
to assist the Union troops of Eastern Tennes-
see. All of our St. Paul boys are well. Harry
Reynolds has gone to Louisville to lay in a
fresh stock OF sausages and cheese. We shall
probably start tomorrow for Columbia, and
camp again on the wet ground"

WHAT THE SOUTHERN PAPERS SAY-The

regards such measures as absurd and imbe-

The Richmond Dispatch of the 3lst ultimo
has cottonish article, in which it says that
England must have cotton that now lies
land locked in the Confederate States, or
her subjects will break out in rebellion. +"
The same paper makes complaints IN e9tenso
about frauds in the Confederate commissas
