SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. III.

phN NHNtiS1V, AuEs IL
The State is full OF rumors OF the con.
templated rising Of the Secessionists. Con-
sequently there is an uneasy feeling in the
public mind.
On the 9th an ARRAY occurred At Visalia,
q small town, between secessionists and
soldiers stationed there. One OF the latter
were killed, and several Of the former
wounded. 36 shots were exchanged.
Tularc aud adjoining counties in the
southern part Of the State, contain numer.
Gus secessionists.
At V,salia great excitement prevailed
Some Union citizens organized . homo
guard; others pursued parties who had
fired at soldiers. The house of man who
.hot soldier was burned down on the
night Of the 7th, which exasperated both
Cnonists and Secessi0nists, each accusing
the other OF the deed. Gen. Wright, Mil
itary Commander at San Francisco, tele-
graphed all spare arms among soldiers at
Visaiia to be distributed among loyal citi.
zens, and despatched troops Of cavalry from
Owens River to Visalia to day.
Rumots are current of secession out
breaks at Santa Clara and E.salono coun.
ties, north and south Of Bay Vesperilly.-
Both counties have large secesh element.
The reports are dlscredited, but their ready
circulation creates alarm.
Gen. Wright teesraphed some days
since, to Washington for permission to i'm
mcdately begin the new defense Of San
Francisco, costing one hundred thousand
dollars, but received 10 reply. Last night
the city Supervisors voted to give Q city
guarantee of repay ment to any person who
would advance twenty thousand dollars to
enable HIM instantly TO commence proper
