Officers accompanying the expedition state
that they encountered no enemy in force, but
fell in with several small squads Of parti sans,
all belonging to the 9th Virginia cavalry, With
the exception of farms Immediately on the
lines OF the principal routes, all the houses
were well stored with the necessaries of life,
such as meats, poultry and breadstuds, with a
sufficient supply of forage to winter their seanty
stock herds.
Considerable complaint has been expressed
by regimental quartermasters of present
scarcity Of stoc kings and underclothing, and
attribute il to derelict contractors.
Leaves OF absence are freely granted to off,
GERS and men for short periods.

WEILER's DIPLoMATIC PERFIDY.-We have
proved upon John B. Weucr-Democratic candi-
date for Congressman-th that in 1856 he advised
hauling down the old flag and setting up an in
dependent Government on these shores This is
not denied by himself nor any Of his organs. We
have shown also that in 1859, when Governor of
California, he signed an unconstitutional bill for
the segregation of the six largest counties of the
State to be relapsed into territorial condition
for the advantage of slavery and rebellion. AS
a crowning proof of his long aud deep complici-
ty with the designs of the Secession Democracy
of the South, we present herewith an extract
from published speech delivered by him before
the authorities of Mexico on the eve of his tax
ing his departure from that country AS Minister
from the United States at the expiration of Blu
chanau's Administration. The extract has been
read on the stump by Cornelius Cole, aud we find
it printed in the Union. Here it is:
" This war between the North and the South
must soon result in the recognition of the South
ern Conlederacy. The South will be successful
aud as the Southern Republic will be your nearest
neighbor as her southern border will stretch
along your northern one. from the mouth of the
