California Troops.

A letter received at the Federal War Depart
meut, dated Mesilla, Arizona, August H., an
nounces the arrival of two California regiments
at that place. Their trip shows with how little
an army may be moved. 1t must be remembered
that the California troops have marched through
a desert country, where no provisions or forage
could be obtained; therefore everything for horse
and man was carried with them, and yet, with a
train less than that of a regiment not marching
fifty mills from Washington, they averaged ff-
tees miles a day for nearly sixty days. The
letter says:
The first infantry and cavalry of California
volunteers have successfully marched one thous-
/ and miles, over a route by the Colorado desert,
ella river, Tucson, and the Mimbreze, from the
Pacific to the Rio Grande. This they have done
with the loss Of ten men in Indian and rebel
skirmishes, with abundant supplies and a ser
yiceable train, and reached the western border
Of Texas in condition for immediate contest with
the enemy.
Officers and men have shared the bardships OF
the march alike, without tents and without bag
gage, one wagon sufieiug to transport ten days
r%atious and the property Of each company, for
fully half the distance over burning districts, in
midsummer, with q scanty supply Of water.
u On Monday last, we observed three beau
tifal ladies' promenading Whitehall street, and
were informed that two Of them were sisters OF
Mrs. President Abe Lincoln. The ladies we
saw, we are pleased to know, are second to none
in patriotic devotion to the South. They reside
in Selma, Alabama. If Old Abe's wife is hall
as handsome as her fair sisters Of the sunny
South, it is 2ot strange she is 80 much admired
by the Ys' hes-daatta C0ntederacy.
