\From the A'lta. California (of San Francisco) of December 12.] Karratlve of Lieut. *Beale's Wagon Road Expedition from Fort Defi ance to the Colorado River- We present our readers, this morning, with an ontline narrative of Lieut. Reale's explora tion of the southern wagon route, taken from tbenote book of Mr. J. 11. Porter, attached to the scientific corps of the expedition. Lieut. Beale arrived here on Thursday, from Los An geles. The objectJcf the expedition, (which is just completed,) as specified in the written in structions of the Secretary of War, was to pro ceed from Philadelphia 'to Indianeia, Texas, weere the camels had been landed from the storesbip Supply, Lieut. David Porter, and from thence to'proceed to Fort Defiance, in New Mexico, near Santa Fc, and from that place to commence the survey of the wagon road through to Colorado River, near the sup posed mouth of the Mojave. Lieut.-E. F. Rsale and hi* party arrived at San Antonio on tho 16th of June. From San Antonio they proceeded to Camp Verde, on the erde river, where the camels had been con veyed, to await his requisition and that ofCapt. Pope, of the U. S. Topographical Engineers, who had been deputed by GovefdmcDt to con struct artesian wells upon tbe-Pecas, in Texas. He selected twenty-three out of the ninety camels at that place and three dromedaries.— Together with the animals were two Greeks, a Turk and two Arabs, who left him at San Au tonio, being desirous of returning home. THE START. The party left San Antonio on the 25th of JuDe; the camels packed with a large portion of the graiu for ten teams of mules. Thetou lus, or icgular pack camels, of which there were seven, arc capable of carrying a load of one thousand pounds. They passed over the old wagon road, extending some seven hundred miles between Sau Antonio and El Paso, and ! reached Alberquerque on the 10th of August. THE ROUTE THROUGH NEW MEXICO. I Leaving some of the wagons which bad be come unnecessary to transport the baggage,the expedition crossed the Kio Grande, and turn ed towards the Colorado. They crossed the dry bed of the little Puerto, and proceeded on the road lying within sight of the river and among the mountain spurs extending through New Mexico. They passed through the pueb lo of Laguna, inhabited by a mixed population of Indians and New Mexicans. They were now travelling upon Coronado's route —who, iu •1530, passed through this country, tho first ■explorer of New Mexico. Continuing upon ; the road, to the new town of Znni, situated j about eight miles from the aboriginal ruins of that name, they passed the Rio Frio, ruoning ; through a remarkable volcanic basis, of ancient I formation. They waited, upon the Piscadn, the arrival of Col. Loring, who was returning with his command, from the Gila. While the oxpedition was proceeding to Zuni, Lieut. Beale i •in company with Col. Loring, made a dctnnur ' towards the northward, iti (Le Navaje country, •to Port Defiance, a distance of ninety miles, to procure an escort of United States troops, for which he had an order from The Secretary of War. ! THE INSCRIPTION HOCK- Passing over this country, which Mr. Porter j considers the most beautiful he ever traversed, and covered ■with almost interminable forests of noble and lofty pine trees, they arrived, on the 24th of August, at El More, or the Inscrip tion llock. This remarkable natural formation merits a particular description. Emerging j from the forest which skirts the bases of the I backbone of the Western Continent, without • any previous indication of its existence, and in the midst of an almost exclusively volcauic couutry, a smooth wall of white sandstone rises from the grassy plain which spreads away from I its base, to an altitude of 1000 feet. At its southeastern base is the spring known as El Moro. It is wedge-s'uaped, and its sum mit is crowued by an ancien' aboriginal fortress evidently the work of the same artisans, whose j tumuli are visible from Peru to Wisconsin.— .Sloping from the southwest it an artificial pla teau, leading to the western entrance of tiro mountain, which forms a natural corntl, capa ble of holding at least five thousand head of animals, and entirely impregnable except by a i very narrow passage, easily defended and par- j tially fortified. In this corral grow the lofti- | est pine trees, whose heads are far below the j crest of the rock which towers above them.— j The party from this point proceeded to within twelve miles of Zani, where they eneamped, 1 and awaited Mr. Beaic'e arrival from Fort De- ' fiance. THE ROUTE FROM EL MORO. He oirived on the 28th, with his escort, and after treatiug with the Indians for corn, they started upon Whipple's trail, and encamped upou a plain covered with splendid gramma grass. The expedition from this camping place, ] passed over a comparatively level country, well | watered, and abounding in fine grass. Ranges of mountains, of volcanic origin, were visible in all directions, some of them capped with enow. This mountainous feature is the pre vailing topography between Zuni and the Col orado. They came in sight of 'he Colorado Cbiquito on the 4th of September, on the 6tb, j they crossed it without difficulty, The river ; is a winding, narrow and muddy stream. At the ford there were only four feet of water. — The camels from the first made 'he marches I without fatigue or flagging. They contiuued their course on the parallel of 35 degrees, j finding excellent water at convenient intervals ; and the most luxuriaut blue gramma grass. AN UNEXPLORED COUNTRY. The course now lay through an unexplored j region, presenting the wave line, intersected by ranges of irregular serrated volcanic moun tains. They encamped upon a reservoir of pure water, discovered by the guide, Hevedra, j to which Lieut. Beale gave the name of King's j Creek. The trail of 1853, made by Lieut, j Whipple, being obliterated by time, and also ; that of Aubrey, Lieut. Bealc selected a road ] for himself, and thus from tbe point above mentioned, the travellers, until reaching the Colorado, were passing over a terra incognita. Expeditions from the camping place were de spatched by Lieut. Beale, in various directions, to examine tbe face of tbe country. ACHRKY'S CANON. In one of these, led by Lient. Beale himself, they discovered what was believed to be tho celebrated canon of Aubrey, described by him in bis notes. An idea may bo gathered of the stupendous depth of this great chasm, from tho fact that standiDg on its precipitous brhfc, a i ? musket ball discharged, occupied nearly half a minute in reaching the bottom at its shallowest point. This was proved by frequent experi ments. Its width was so great, that a musket ball, discharged horizontally, fell about a quar ter of the way across. This chasm appears to be a vast sink in tbo general level of the coun try, the result of some ancient volcanic .con vulsion. They descended to the bottom and explored it to its mouth. In it they discover ed the Indian trail to the Mojave villages EXTRAORDINARY NATURAL FEATURES. Some peculiar characteiistics in the feature of this section of country are worthy of remark. The road extending over mesas resembled more a wnik of art, like the roads constructed by the Roman Generals und Napoleon, than natu ral formations. The palisade formations, on all hands, loomed up like gigantic fortifications. Singular to say, the volcanic rock was carpeted with the most luxuriant blue gramma grass, af fording food for animals as nutritious as oats. Only a thin stratum of soil laid between this and the rock. Specimens of petrifactions of the most wonderful description, presented them selves. And there, on the westeru bank of the Rio dc la Xara, they found a rock, about twen ty-five feet square, in the heart of which was a large petrified tree. The fragment was de tached from the main body, in which the boughs were distinctly visible. They also found, in the beginning of their new route, inscriptions on the roeks, evincing the progression of the miters from the Ibeagraphic to the Phonetic character. This argues a very high degree of cultivation among the ancient inhabitants of ihese regions, as do'their fortifications. ARRIVAL AT THE COLORADO RIVER. The guides haviog proved unworthy of trust the expedition was preceded by parties detach ed in search of water, which was invariably found, showing that, up to this point, the route is in every way available for emigrant trains, it being scarcely necessary to double teams in a single instance. Nothing of consequence oc curred from ibis point until the arrival of the expedition at the Colorado river, J which they gained without difficulty, camping on its banks, for the first time, on the 19th of October, hav ing ridden over the country on either side of ihc route for a consiedcable distant*. SWIMMING THE CAMELS. At this place, the camels themselves refuted some assertions which have been confidently made of them—that they are unable to swim. Father Hue, iu his work, describes his deten tion upon he Yellow river, in < hiriu, on ac count oi the difficulty of crossing his camels, for, he says, "the animal cannot swim." The opinion Las also been supported by many wri ters. Ou this occasion, Lieut. Bcale's determining to t-y the experiment, led one of the large (uii !us to the bank of the river, and had liirn driv en into the water. As soou as he found him self out of bis depth, he struck off without hes itation for the opposite slime, swimming high sud with perfect rase. The rest of (he train were crossed in batches of five and six, not one of them, apparently, Lad the slightest difficulty in the passage. A PORTION OF TLIE (iUEAT II FA EH T Here the travelers found the first sandy coun try on their route. The grass was poor and thin, and water at longer intervals than they had yet found it. They were enabled, howev er. to procure a sufficient supply, without any suffering, and continued their course due west, until they struck the Mojave fiver—a drstimee of about eighty miles —'hat is to where water appears flowing in the bed of the river. This is a northern continuation of the great Ameri can Desert of New Mexico, but presents less of the sterile and desolate feature- of the south ern or main body of the desert, and is infinite ly preferable to travel over. A (RIVAL AT LOR ANGLES. T'nc route now followed the Mojive on its eastern bank uutil the party reached the Mor mon road, which they kept, crossing the San Bernardino Mountains at the Cajon Pass, and continued tho journey over the well known road from San Bernarding to Los Angles,* where they arrived on the 20th of November. TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS OF THE CAMEL EXPE RIMENT. The experiment of the eanicls and dromeda ries has proved a triumphant success. In op position to the upinious of many United States officers, they have shown themselves admirably adapted for traversing the wastes of Western America. In some these wonderful an tuahs went a week, and in one, ten days,with out water —not because it did not exist ou the route, but from the lack of desire for it, and on the tenth day the animal drank with compara tive indifference. They could go, if required, over two weeks without tasting water. Their food is of the simplest and coarsest description - , they pat, as th*y progress, whatever grows on the waysile, bending 'heir long necks and thrusting their heads alike into the narrowesi crevices for the cactus, or the stunted verdure, or cropping the leaves from the boughs of the trees, wilbontin the least retarding their spaed. Truly they may be called the ships of the des ert, and, when taken in comparison with mules, horses or cattle, which require food almost as legularly as man, they seem adapted by nature to the novel task to which our government has now devoted them. A CABINET OF CURIOSITIES.— For the first time in the history of this nation, the Cabinet at Washington is enabled to present to the conntry the rare spectacle of a conclave of po litical husksters. Asonisbment is lost in con tempt while one candidly and coolly reads the letters of Messrs. Cobb, Brown, Toticey, Cass, Black etc., liauked by a weak diatribe from poor Btgler, to the late meeting called and beld at Philadelphia, to endorse the new posi tion of the administration in this Kansas swin dle. Cabinet officers coming down from their position to bandy epithets, to scold and threat en and promise and beg before the country; to disclo.ee at the gatherings of short boys and shouldt'i-strikers, led by their fuglemen, men of the "first respectability," the policy of the ad ministration for the future, to promise what in tho next week, in the rush of events, they may not bo able nor willing to perform—this is a spectacle tit to be wept over by every patriot in the land. In tbe face ef facts that are a disgraoe to the age and land in which we liTe; in the face of facts disclosed by bitter Democratic partixaug like Walker setting forth the present and past system of trrong aud outrage under which sev en-eighths of tbe people ot Kansas have pa tiently goffered for years, Mr. Attorney Gon mmmrn mommmL eral Black has tho hardihood to say ia bis let ter: * "The people of Kausas would be ruled by nothing but the bayonet, and two thousand bayonets were sent there to keep them ia or der." Each of these Cabiuet papers speaks of all that has been done in Kansas preparatory to ibis Lecomptou swindle as fair, legal and above board. Gov. Walker in bis letter of resignation, says wheu and where the frauds and disfranchise, nient of the Conveution election occurred, aud (bat fifteen counties were absolutely disfran chised. His language is: "These fifteen coun ties, including many of the oldest organized counties in the territory, were eutirely disfran chised, and did not give, by no fault of their own could not give, a solitary vote for delegates to that Convention." Attorney Geuerai Black says: "The delegates were chosen at a fair and free election, after a full uotioe to all the vo ters." Was there eve falsification like this! The Philadelphia JVorth jJmtricnn , in an ex ceedingly powerful article which our narrow space forbids us quoting entire, very justly re marks: "Partizanship, aud not statesmanship, stands out upon the face of each of these Cabiuet epistles, as if the word had been printed io Luge capitals at the head of each. The pur pose is partizan, aud the argument flippant and shallow special pleading. The Attorney Gen eral has a comprehensive term for the people of Kansas, and for all dissentients from the doc trines resolved on—the term "Abolitionists." The Secretary of the Treasury aud the Post master General, bait a dozeu times each, re peat the epithet "Black Republicans," as ap plied to the same classes. The Uabiuct thus chooses to bandy epithets scarcely tolerable ou the political rostrum, or in the partizan press. What good can come of this departure from dignity, and from the stern path of duty to which it is right—a right which wi'l be assert ed—to hold those occupying high places in the public affairs of the whole people! Those who write iu this styie from the high offices they occupy, Blight be rebuked by their own cleri cal force fot gross impropriety, and a power of dismissal should somewhere exist, if the prece dent now set is to be followed." StriugfcllotT'M Letter. Mr. J. H. Stritigfellow, who once upon a time, was considered the biggest and most fe rocious "border ruffian" iu Kansas, is uow in Washington, and writes a letter against che Lecoinpton Constitution,which the Union would not publish, out which the New York Herald, another orguu of Mr. Buchanan, does. This letter closes as follows: "Iu a tew days after my arrival it was an nounced that Acting Governor Stanton hud con vened the Territor.al Legislature in extra ses sion, a course he had undoubted authority to pursue, however much I lie policy may be doubt ed. The representatives of the people, elected by 13,000 voters, 0,000 of whom voted for Mr. Parrot for Congress, as being opposed to any Constitution from the Lecompton Coueution, passed a bill providing tor the siibiuie-'irj of L . - —S t vvyixi iur aiieganve vote, tons affording theui die only opportunity they could have of expressing their objection to that instrument, or ot being udnutted into the Union under it. 1 have said that-, should the Democratic members t'roui the free Stales, trtred j by the South, and for no practical good to the South, lug Kausus into the Uniou against the reiuous'.aitcc of two-thirds of the people, that remonstrance expressed in the only legal way they eouid express it, namely, by a vote of the people under the act of Legislature, with at] the J penalties for fraudulent voting that could be provided by law, that in such event the Itauo cratic party would of" necessity be IrokenJiwn j at the North, the peace and interest of Misaja ri and Kansas, if not the whole Uniou, seritus ly endangered, and by no sort of contingency could the interest of the Sou'lt in Kansas be advanced, So oelievtng, 1 have urged tiat if j the people of by their vote ou M-mlay I last did, by a iaigo majority decide agaimt the | constitution, iltat Congress, aud espetialiy Southern members, should in answer to tlepe- I titiou of the people thus expressed, rejea the ! application for admission, and at once pa>s an j act for the formation of a new constitution.upon terms similar to those proposed bv tue "Ttouibs bill" of 1850. kAASiS. Tho returns of the vote upon the (Jouaitu tion, December "1, have been ccuutcd aut 'de clared by Culhouu as follows: Constitution with Slavery 3,063 Constitution without Slavery 670 Total vote 0G39 These returns include 3,562 votes from pro- j cinets known to have less thau one ihousaud ! inhabitants. Govertir Walker estimates that the real .Pro-Slavery strength in the Territory does not exceed two thousand. At the election, Jauuary 4, under the Le compton Constitution, the Legislature has been carried by the Free State party. The Senate is divided—Free State, 13; Democrats, 6. Tue House—Free State. 29: Democrats, 14. Calhoun Lad not yet declared the vote for Governor and members of Coagrass, although the time for receiving returns bad expired. As far as received, Smith, Free State candidate for Governor, had received 6,238, aguinst 6,530 for Marshall, Democrat. For (JoDgregs, Par rott, Free State, had received 6,623, agaiust 6,568 for Carr, Democrat. The vote against the Constitution is not yet officially declared, but is still stated at 10,- 000. It remains to be seen whether Congress will drag a State into the Uniou, under institutions so uudeniably repudiated by the people couceru ed. It is stated from Kansas, that the Territor ial Legislature will provide for a new Conven tion to frame a Constitution. The arrest of Heuderson by the Free States men, heretofore reported by the telegraph, is explained by the St. Louis Democrat. Hender son was on his way with a return of several hundred votes from "Delaware Crossing," a place having about twenty inhabitants. Some people, thinking that Calhoun had enough of such returns already, concluded to capture Henderson. Whether tbey have "out kis tars off" remains to be seen.—Washington Repub itc. Witt. A.

M. steamship America, from Liverpool on Saturday, the 2d instant, baa arrived at this port. The America brings §9,615 in specie. Ttie political news by ibis arrival is not of an importaut nature. Finauoially it is quite favarable. There was a continued growing ease in the Euglish uioney market, but no re duction of the rate of 1 ntercsi by the bauks bad taken place. The loss of the rebels at Lilcknow was esti mated at 7,000 uien. WE RAT lON'S AGAINST CANTON. [From ttie London Times. By the present time, probably, Canton has been attacked and captured. It has been de termined to make the dispute entirely local.— Should the Emperor answer the capture of Canton by the expulsion of the English tra ders from Shanghai, then, indeed matters will grow serious; but should he determine that the Canton Governor and mob have been justly punished, it is possible that hostilities may be confined to the operations which were to he commenced in the south. The British force seems to be sufficient for the purpose of retri bution at Canton. "In a few days," says our correspondent, "we tnay reasonably expect to have 700 guns and 7,000 men in these waters. Of the latter we shall be able, probably, to land 4,000." The "bluejackets" were being drilled for service on land. We learu that the French have also uetermiued to resort to hos tilities against the Chinese. It should he un derstood belorehand that such a union is by no means analogous to the combined operations in the Crimea. VIRGINIA. Governor Wise's Tamunnany Hall letter has created a great storm at Richmond The Dem ocratic members of the Legislature immediate ly oaucussed, and passed the following resolu tions, with only two or three dissenting votes: "Resolied, That in the opinion of the Demo cratic members of the General Assembly of Virginia, the conclusion to which the President ot tho United hta'es lias arrived, as expressed in bis recent message, in favor of the admission of Kansas in the Union under the Lcconipfott Constitution, is* just and right. "Iteso'tifd, That Congress has no right to : look further into tlie Constitution submitted by the Stat-.* Oi l Kansas, in its application to be ad ! initted into this Union, than to see thai the said I Constitution is republican in its form. "Resolved, That it is due to the peace and harmony of this Uuion, th:t Congress should speedily admit Kansas as a State, nn tcr the Le coinptoo Constitution, without further condi tions." Resolution's of the tatne tenor were after wards passed hy tue House, and will doubtless pass the Senate. The filibusters resolutions introduced the \ irgiuia Legislature on the 4th in.-tati t,haVe not tet been acted upon. Geucra! Walker is at Richmond, trying to urge them through.— There is a good deal of opposition to them THE EXORMONS NOT GOING TO RUN AWAY. ST. Ijori.s, JAN. 10.— The Republican lias received information from Fort Lawrence, through an Ir.dian trader who arrived at Jefc ferson City yesterday, and who reports meeting on the 23J of December, between 600 and 700 Cheyenne* and Ounauche Indians, returning Iroin Salt Lak" to their villages on the lilack Walnut Ilills-, about 80 miles southeast of Fort Laramie. Tncy were accompanied by about twenty Mormon leaders. It was their intention le re main in the camp erected there until Spring, and then employ themselves under Mormon in fluence in hurrassing, ami cutting off the sup ply trains sent to the relief of Coloinl John son. The Indians had been led to believe that the Mormons had eighty thousand fighting ruer. well equipped for service. They also spoke of nu merous fot t ifications and a Urge number of In dian allies, and declared that the Mormons have tio i lea of running away from Utan. ASHAMED OP IT.—ln the debate in the Son ate upon the Treasury note bill, Mr. Pugh (Democrat) said ; "At the last session we were called upon, in a great hurry, to reduce the tariff. What was the argument for that haste ? That if we did not reduce the tariff in double quick time, there would be a surplus of ?60,000,00x1 of coiu in the Sub-Treasury, and it would break every body. We have passed a tariff bill, but we lave no money in the Treasury. Is this the | vay the financial affairs of this Government ae to be conducted? You bogin at one session , ti press through a bill to drive money out of tie Treasury, and then come here aud press us irto the night hours to get another bill to put unney into the Treasury. I thiuk it is a seri ou impeachment of the finaucial abilities of thi Democratic party; and, without meaning tobe uDkind to individuals, 1 am a little axAa mei of it. Ve are precipitating the Government of the ! Unted State.s, in a time of peace, without any ; excise for it, into a system of continental paper ! inooy. I ccn make nothing else out of it." MIR.
