Los Angeles, December ti. 1862. _ 3m The Worth of Woman. FROM TUB GKKMAIr 01'' SCHILLER. Honored be woman ! ehe beams on tlie light, Graceful and fair, like a being of light ; Scatters around her wherever she strays, Roses of bliBs on our I horn-covered ways ; Roses of Paradise, sent from above. To bo gathered aud twined iu a garland of love. Man. on passion's stormy ocean. Tossed on surges mountain high, Courla the hurricane's commotion, Spurns at reason's feeble cry. Loud the tempest roars around him, Louder still it roan within, Flashing lights of hope confound hhn, Stuns wilh life's incessant din. Woman invites him with bliss in lier smite. To cease Irom his toil and be happy a while ; Whispering wooinjtly—come to my bower- Go not in search of the phantem of power— Honor and wealth are illusory—cornel Happiness dwells in the temples ol borne. Man, with fury slern and savage, Persecutes dis broilier man, Reckless If he bless or ravage, Action, action—still his plan, Now creating, now destroying, Ceaseless wishes tear his breast; Ever seeking—ne'er enjoying— Stili to be, but never blest. Woman, contented in silent repose, Enjoys in its beauty li'e'a flower as it blows, And waters and tends it with innocent heart, Far richer than man with his treusure ot art j And wiser by far in the circles confined, Than he in his silence and lights of the mind. Coldly fo himself sufficing, Man disdains the gentler arts, Knoweth not the bliss arising From the interchange of hearts. Slowly through the bosom stealing, Flows the genial curreut on, Till by age's froit congealing, It is hardened into stone. She, like the harp that instinctively rings, As the night-breathing zephyr soft sighs on the strings Responds to each impulse with Pteady reply, Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy try, And tear drops and smiles ou her countenance p'ay. Like sunshine und showers of a morning in JViay. Through Ihe range of man's dominion, Terror is the ruling word — And the standard of opinion li ihe temper ot the sword. Strife epulis, and pity blushing, From Ihe scene departing flies, Where the battle madly rushing, Brother upon brother dies. Woman commands with a milder control- She rules by enchantment the realms of the soul ; As she glances around in tbe light of her smile, The war of the passions is hushed lor awhile. And discord, content, from his fury may cease, Reposes entranced ou the pillows of peace. JDhinkinginthk Armt.—A Memphis coi respondent of the N. Y. Tribune writes : Since I left the Mississippi Flotilla, and have returned to the army, I have become convinced lhat drunkenness, or at least excessive drinking, is the besetting sin of our officers as well as soldiers. Indeed, the latter have few opportunities, comparatively, to dissipated, and are liable to punishment therefor, while the former can indulge tiieir propensity to any extent. Of this fact I was particu'nrly reminded the other day at Corinth, where I learned from lhe free and open conversation of many who figured in tlie bat ties of the 3d snd 4th of October ihat dozens of the principal oflicers—I would not like to mention the hight of their rank—were so tipsy on one orthe other duy. and some on both days cf the fi<_ht, th thev were really unconscious of what wfis going c around them. Men who were mentioned honorably for their gallantry were glad to hear they behaved so well, but had no remembrance or knowledge n they had done. As an instance, Gen. Rosecrans narrowly escaped having his head taken off by cannon balls several times during the engagement, in consequence of a drunken officer who had charge ofa battery, shooting at random, and with lhe most magnificent indifference as to whom or what he struck with his projectiles. In the Army of Tennessee I see men now that I knew eight, ten or tweve months ago, as sober and trustworthy officers, who to-day I can hardly recognize on account of their bloated and strangely- altered appearance. No doubt drinking is the pursuing demon ofour army, and the fearlul habit seems to be growing.— Is it strange, then our troops are so badly managed. and that we so often fail accomplishing desirable results in the field ? This is indeed a serious evil, and d it be allowed to spread, must eventually terminate in the ruin of our cause. FALL AND WINTER TRADE.

Cairo, Dec. 23.—We have tho following additional in regard to the Rebel raid on the Mobile nnd Ohio road. Their force consists of a full brigade and six pieces of artillery. They first crossedt the Tennessee, and marched direct to Lexington. They were met on the 8th, by about two Cavalry regiments, with two pieces of artillery, under Golonel Ingersol. who had been sent against them, and a battle of three hours endued. The Federals were lorced to give way, their lost being seven killed and wounded, and one hundred and twenty four were captured. The Rebel lows was thirty five killed and wounded. They captured our artillery. Last night the rebels commenced their retreat, having approached wilhin seven miles of Columbus The damage done to the rond is said noi to be so great us might be expected. Several bridges barn been burned, but it is thought that the trestle work is all out damages will probably bo repaired in two weeks. Cincinnati, Doe. 23.—Passengers from Loxing ton to night report that the excitement which prevailed there for some days was increased last (rfgfi by the burning o( a large building containing com- miscary stores. It is believed that it is tho work of Rome of Morgan's men. Martial law was declar- d there to-day, and every road leading to the city closely guarded. Washington, Dec. 23.—The reiident has issued on order to the Army of the Potomac, complimenting the courage and skill of the troops in crossing and recrossing the river, and the bravery with which they maintained an unequal contest against an en* trenched enemy. The Senate and Rouse have adopted a resolution to-day. that when they adjourn it will be until the first Monday In January. Washington, Dec. 15.—At eight o'clock last night four hundred rebel cavalry made n dash into Poolsville, Maryland, where only twenty five Federals were stationed. After a brief but determined straggle, nnd only when the building in which the Federals were quartered, was on fire, our men surrendered. The rebels lost two killed and thirteen wounded. Nashviu,k, Dec. 15.—The Rebels have rcoccu- pied Franklin, from which place they bv Gen. Stanley, a few days since. ere driven The Richmond Examiner sny* the preparations olthe United Statta to subjugate the Soulh, are now truly gigantic. In ihe East, Weft and Xorth on land and water, everywhere, and on all sides, the mo-renients of the Federal army and fleets indicate zeal, hope, fanaticism, and a desperate avid- ity. that should banish from every Southerner's mind all thought of an early peace, and nerve every loyal Southern hand for battle, in which there wil' be no quarter. Northern Virginia is again overrun, Richmond, Petersburg. Weldon, Charleston and Mobile are once more threatened. Texas, undefended, lies hopelea, bleeding, in the power of the ene my, and forces are being concentrated in Missour and Kansas for the invasion of Arkansas. Commu nication between the West and Richmond is menac od at Chattanooga and Knoxville. This Mississippi River and its tributaries are bristling with gunboais for operations as coons us the floods come. It is rumored that Jeff. Davis bas offered a million bales, of cotton lor sale at Ik cents a pound. payable in gold. He agrees to give permission for its shipment, the buyers to arrange with the United States Government as to exemption from seizure on lbe high seas. New Yoiik, Dec. 24.—The schooner Mary E Morgan reports having been fired at twice by the pirate Alabama, while entering the port ol EasseaH Dominica, ou the 27th ult. She first saw her taking in provisions at the Island of Guadaioupe. Tbe King ot England's Army in France, Normandy, and before Calais, besides the lords, consisted of 31,294 combatants and attendants, and their pay for 1 year, 131 days was £127,201,29, and 9d. The following specifications will furnish an idea of the military pay and service in tbe reign of Edward HI.: "To Edward, Prince of Wales, being in the King's service in Normandy, France, and Cal ais with his retinue, for his wages of war, 20s. a day ; eleven banereta. <?ach 4s. a day ; 102 Knights, 2s a day . 264 esquires, each 12d. a day ; *iS4 archers on borBeback, each 6d. a day ; 69 foot archers, each 3d. a day ; 513 Welshmen, whereof one chaplain, at Gd. a day; one physician,'one herald, five ensigns, 25 sergeants, or officers over 20 men, each 4d. day; 480 footmen, each 2d. a day.

A wise man says he has heard of but one old woman wbo kissed ber cow, hut be knows of many thousand young onee who bave kissed very great calves. Washington, Dec-24.—In tbe house yesterday Mr. Blake reported a bill authorising the Fostmas. ter Geueral to establish the money order system. It proposes a charge of five cents on islO, or more than §10 and less than $20. and ten cents ou all additional sums of $10 or less ; five cent duplicates tobe issued when tbe orders are lost. The bill passed. Tbe House on the motion of Sargent of California, adopted the resolution instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to inquire iuto the expediency of providing bylaw (or an assistant Commissioner of Iulernal Revenue for the Pacilic States and Territories, who should have general control of malters on that subject tinder the direction of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue al Washington. _ We have reports abont the prodigious strength of the fortifications Vicksburg is defended by, and the marvelous number of guns. The rebels there claim that their works extend back from the river bt miles, wilh over 200 guns in position. From Mcxlto. The following items are from letters in the Echo du Racifiepn: The Revolution in Lower California Is complete. Riverot is deposed, and Navurrete is Governor.—■ Airiolft, who lead the revolutionary movement, was banished by Navarrcre, who nwfl his position to the revoludon. The decree ol banishment, it is said, is in direct violation of promises made by Navarrete. re is much discontent therefo e and already there are rumors ot auuther revolution. Within forty years there have been sixty Governors in Low cr Calilornia, and not one of them ha* been able to ltnin himself in offiee throug the constitutional tenn. The salt mine of San Jose, which furnished tba some to maintain the Government of Lower Call' fornia. and was worth, according to some estimates, $1,000,000 has been sokl by Juare* to Fortunato V«ga* The price is variously stated at $14,000 and $80,000. Juarez has ordered Placido "Vega, of Sinaloa, to present himself at the city of Mexico, and in case of refusal, the military are to take him by force The Fanny Afajor had arrived at Maz*tlan from San Francisco, with four Ions of powder and many arms. It is said that the Secretary ol Gov Vega has been sent to San Francisco, to purchase arms and clothing (or the new contingent which is to go to Mexico The painter, Fortunato Arrcola. has been sent to San Francisco to got a monument, surmounted by a bust of Zarngoza. The monument is to be erected u the public square of Mazatlan. A Frenchman, named Jean Bronchery, a partner n'the house nf Cavailhon & Roth, committed sui- ;ide at La Paz- The cause, according to rumor* wits trouble in business. Mejia, the Conservative General, had taken Quere- taro, and was marching on Guanajuato. It was rumored that Lozuda, another Couservativn General, had taken Duntngo, Lozada had previously eked, defeated and driven back some troops, on the way from Maz-itlan to join the army of the East. The high clergy, who were exiled by Juarez, havo formally pronounced in (avor ofthe French. Cairo, Dec. 22d.—It is yet in doubt as to tbe amount of injuries done to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad by the rebel raid, and as near as can be ascertained tbe facts are these : On Friday last the rebels, variously estimated at from 3.000 to 10,000 made a break on the railroad north of Jackson. Teun-, and cemmenced moving this way. We therefore are unable to bear anything from the territory tbey pass over. Tliey have already taken Carroll Station, Humbolt, Trentoo, and at last accounts were marching on Union City. Large quantities of colton and considerable of otber property were destroyed in tbeir march. Passenger train from Columbusr on Friday, got through to Jacksou and is tbe last train over road. At Hickman, Ky., ibe people are in great terror and many of them are leaving and coming here, An effort is being made from Columbus and below to catpure these rebels, and if the Tennessee river, as reported, is risiug, the attempt may prove successful. The object of tbe rebel movement appears to be for the purpose of securing sustenance and cutting off the supplies to our army. It is reported tbat Holly Springs has fallen again into rebel hands, bat tbere is ,'nothiog reliable io , regard to lt. Santa Fa.—Gen. Carleton has issued an order, lhat all persons arriving there must report to the Provost Marsh*!. Strangers are idso to exhibit a written authority under which tbey can travel and ive satisfaciory evidence of their loyalty. .It is rumored that a body of Texans,[6000 strong with twelve guns, are marching on Sauta Fe, via La Paz and Jasel Pas, under Gen. Baylor; but this requires confirmation. It is understood that the Secretary of the Treasury has completed his finance bill, recommending a nine hundred million loan at an interest of not over 7 3 10 per cent, and repeal the 5-20 conversion act. He adheres firmly to the opinion expressed in his annual report, tbat tbe money can be raised by this loan. JVew York, Dec. 22.—The official returns of the losses at Fredericksburg are 1,128 killed, 9, i00 wounded, and 2,078 missing. The Statement lhat Bun.side has tendered his resignation is not believed by members of his staff, and is probably untrue. It is stated that 9,309 applications have been made for pensions under the act of July last—9,04? in the army, and 2(10 in tbe Davy, The steamer Mill Boy, while taking cotton at Commerce on Wednesday last, was fired upon by a band ol guerrillas. On her return to Helena she reported the facts, and the guuboat Inlet, wilh a detachment o( in fa u try, went to Commerce and burned the town and plantations for live miles around. A RivAf, to Si.cnAMBSTO.—It is said that a town to rival Sacramento is to be established twalve miles further down tbe river, at a place called tho Russian Embarcadero. G. W.Mowe bas purchased three farms there, containing about one thousand acres, for $12,500 The Union says the land is no higher than in Sacramento, and adds; It ia probable that the proposed new town will start out as a rival oTboth Sultervtlle and Sacramento. It is supposed tbat parties connected witb the Sacramento Valley Railroad Company contemplate, either through tbe company or by means of a separate organization, the construction of a braocb of ihe road from Brighton tothe site of the new town. ' T.*x on Minks.—Bo to Houses of thn Nevada Legislature bave passed tbe revenue bill, wbicb levies a tax of 30 cents on the $100 of grosi proceeds of the mines. There ara some other pointa on which the houu may yet fail. n are not agreed, bo the bill A Mr. Gartshore. of Hamilton, Canada, has $4,- 000 damages for the loss of an eye by the careless handling of firearms hy a Dr. Williams. An excellent sulphur cpring in Corral Hollow near the Commercial Coal Company's claim, San Joaquin county, has been discovered. An iron' mine has also been found in the wme vicinity. A rich man named Sami Brown. 66 years old, and long a resident of Marin county, committed suicide by hanging himself in a barn, near Petaluma, on the 4ih ult.

"Walk w'th the Besuthul,'' is the title of some verses which have b-en iroing the round of some of tbe papers.

Los Angeles, December ti. 1862. _ 3m The Worth of Woman. FROM TUB GKKMAIr 01'' SCHILLER. Honored be woman ! ehe beams on tlie light, Graceful and fair, like a being of light ; Scatters around her wherever she strays, Roses of bliBs on our I horn-covered ways ; Roses of Paradise, sent from above. To bo gathered aud twined iu a garland of love. Man. on passion's stormy ocean. Tossed on surges mountain high, Courla the hurricane's commotion, Spurns at reason's feeble cry. Loud the tempest roars around him, Louder still it roan within, Flashing lights of hope confound hhn, Stuns wilh life's incessant din. Woman invites him with bliss in lier smite. To cease Irom his toil and be happy a while ; Whispering wooinjtly—come to my bower- Go not in search of the phantem of power— Honor and wealth are illusory—cornel Happiness dwells in the temples ol borne. Man, with fury slern and savage, Persecutes dis broilier man, Reckless If he bless or ravage, Action, action—still his plan, Now creating, now destroying, Ceaseless wishes tear his breast; Ever seeking—ne'er enjoying— Stili to be, but never blest. Woman, contented in silent repose, Enjoys in its beauty li'e'a flower as it blows, And waters and tends it with innocent heart, Far richer than man with his treusure ot art j And wiser by far in the circles confined, Than he in his silence and lights of the mind. Coldly fo himself sufficing, Man disdains the gentler arts, Knoweth not the bliss arising From the interchange of hearts. Slowly through the bosom stealing, Flows the genial curreut on, Till by age's froit congealing, It is hardened into stone. She, like the harp that instinctively rings, As the night-breathing zephyr soft sighs on the strings Responds to each impulse with Pteady reply, Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy try, And tear drops and smiles ou her countenance p'ay. Like sunshine und showers of a morning in JViay. Through Ihe range of man's dominion, Terror is the ruling word — And the standard of opinion li ihe temper ot the sword. Strife epulis, and pity blushing, From Ihe scene departing flies, Where the battle madly rushing, Brother upon brother dies. Woman commands with a milder control- She rules by enchantment the realms of the soul ; As she glances around in tbe light of her smile, The war of the passions is hushed lor awhile. And discord, content, from his fury may cease, Reposes entranced ou the pillows of peace. JDhinkinginthk Armt.—A Memphis coi respondent of the N. Y. Tribune writes : Since I left the Mississippi Flotilla, and have returned to the army, I have become convinced lhat drunkenness, or at least excessive drinking, is the besetting sin of our officers as well as soldiers. Indeed, the latter have few opportunities, comparatively, to dissipated, and are liable to punishment therefor, while the former can indulge tiieir propensity to any extent. Of this fact I was particu'nrly reminded the other day at Corinth, where I learned from lhe free and open conversation of many who figured in tlie bat ties of the 3d snd 4th of October ihat dozens of the principal oflicers—I would not like to mention the hight of their rank—were so tipsy on one orthe other duy. and some on both days cf the fi<_ht, th thev were really unconscious of what wfis going c around them. Men who were mentioned honorably for their gallantry were glad to hear they behaved so well, but had no remembrance or knowledge n they had done. As an instance, Gen. Rosecrans narrowly escaped having his head taken off by cannon balls several times during the engagement, in consequence of a drunken officer who had charge ofa battery, shooting at random, and with lhe most magnificent indifference as to whom or what he struck with his projectiles. In the Army of Tennessee I see men now that I knew eight, ten or tweve months ago, as sober and trustworthy officers, who to-day I can hardly recognize on account of their bloated and strangely- altered appearance. No doubt drinking is the pursuing demon ofour army, and the fearlul habit seems to be growing.— Is it strange, then our troops are so badly managed. and that we so often fail accomplishing desirable results in the field ? This is indeed a serious evil, and d it be allowed to spread, must eventually terminate in the ruin of our cause. FALL AND WINTER TRADE.

Cairo, Dec. 23.—We have tho following additional in regard to the Rebel raid on the Mobile nnd Ohio road. Their force consists of a full brigade and six pieces of artillery. They first crossedt the Tennessee, and marched direct to Lexington. They were met on the 8th, by about two Cavalry regiments, with two pieces of artillery, under Golonel Ingersol. who had been sent against them, and a battle of three hours endued. The Federals were lorced to give way, their lost being seven killed and wounded, and one hundred and twenty four were captured. The Rebel lows was thirty five killed and wounded. They captured our artillery. Last night the rebels commenced their retreat, having approached wilhin seven miles of Columbus The damage done to the rond is said noi to be so great us might be expected. Several bridges barn been burned, but it is thought that the trestle work is all out damages will probably bo repaired in two weeks. Cincinnati, Doe. 23.—Passengers from Loxing ton to night report that the excitement which prevailed there for some days was increased last (rfgfi by the burning o( a large building containing com- miscary stores. It is believed that it is tho work of Rome of Morgan's men. Martial law was declar- d there to-day, and every road leading to the city closely guarded. Washington, Dec. 23.—The reiident has issued on order to the Army of the Potomac, complimenting the courage and skill of the troops in crossing and recrossing the river, and the bravery with which they maintained an unequal contest against an en* trenched enemy. The Senate and Rouse have adopted a resolution to-day. that when they adjourn it will be until the first Monday In January. Washington, Dec. 15.—At eight o'clock last night four hundred rebel cavalry made n dash into Poolsville, Maryland, where only twenty five Federals were stationed. After a brief but determined straggle, nnd only when the building in which the Federals were quartered, was on fire, our men surrendered. The rebels lost two killed and thirteen wounded. Nashviu,k, Dec. 15.—The Rebels have rcoccu- pied Franklin, from which place they bv Gen. Stanley, a few days since. ere driven The Richmond Examiner sny* the preparations olthe United Statta to subjugate the Soulh, are now truly gigantic. In ihe East, Weft and Xorth on land and water, everywhere, and on all sides, the mo-renients of the Federal army and fleets indicate zeal, hope, fanaticism, and a desperate avid- ity. that should banish from every Southerner's mind all thought of an early peace, and nerve every loyal Southern hand for battle, in which there wil' be no quarter. Northern Virginia is again overrun, Richmond, Petersburg. Weldon, Charleston and Mobile are once more threatened. Texas, undefended, lies hopelea, bleeding, in the power of the ene my, and forces are being concentrated in Missour and Kansas for the invasion of Arkansas. Commu nication between the West and Richmond is menac od at Chattanooga and Knoxville. This Mississippi River and its tributaries are bristling with gunboais for operations as coons us the floods come. It is rumored that Jeff. Davis bas offered a million bales, of cotton lor sale at Ik cents a pound. payable in gold. He agrees to give permission for its shipment, the buyers to arrange with the United States Government as to exemption from seizure on lbe high seas. New Yoiik, Dec. 24.—The schooner Mary E Morgan reports having been fired at twice by the pirate Alabama, while entering the port ol EasseaH Dominica, ou the 27th ult. She first saw her taking in provisions at the Island of Guadaioupe.
