The summit of the Sandro de Christo Pass, as obtained through barometric ob servations. is 9,200 feet above, tide-water. In one mile the incline rises dver seven hundred feet, offering a very serious ob stacle to the construction of a road across that particular part of the mountain. The wagon road across the mountain has been followed year after year without being at all improved, while its course ran in op position to every principle of engineering. Fortunately for the success of Mr. Millers expedition, there are otherpasses heading on the Huerfano wbioh oner no obstruc tion, either in grade or location, to a good lino. The principal of these is theMoscn Pass, which bos never been traversed by wagons on account of a few rough boulders that obstruct it at points, ana then it is some fifteen miles longer to Fort Garland by that route than by the Saugre de Chris to. Another “pass” perfectly feasible is that of the Cbicharus, about seven miles south of the Sangre de Christo. Mr. Miller will make a thorough survey of these passes, as well as of one that offers a fine line through'a valley that heads within one thousand feet of the waters in the Sangre de Christo valley. The people in this vicinity have been remarkably kind, offering their services gratis, to guide our surveyors, and exhib itingtbo deepest interest in our.success. SANGRE DE CHRISTO VALLEY. I expected from the very name of tlio mountains, “ Booky,” and in accordance with my preconceived notions of tho range, to find the elevations sterile and covered with large or fragmentary rooks. Tho mountains bordering on tho Huer fano, disappointed us' agreeably. The slopes, up to an elevation of 10,000 feet, are covered with dense forests of pine trees, well suited for lumber and building purposes, besides large groves, of straight, beautiful aspen trees., The ground, even in the shade of tho forest, is covered with line grass, mnoh superior to that found on the Huerfano, and which ourhnrd-Work ed animals appear to enjoy very much.— The valley of the Sangre de Christo is of much more elevation than the plains east of the range, and it is certainly the most charming spot my eye ever beheld. It averages about a half mile In width, by twenty In length, Through It flows tho clear, cool Bangre de Christo, which heads In a spring near the Pass. It is filled with fine trout, some of them weighing two pounds, and on which our party has been and ’still is revelling. The mountains, covered with trees, slope down to the ntrAjun,.and na t.ha haavy grass referred to occupies what is usually coved-witH underbruah in woods, the landscape has the appearance of abeautlfuland carefully tendeddemesue. Yesterday Cant. Btuart and Lieut. Hanoy, accompanied by my self, traversed the whole length of the valley. to Fort, Garland. At. times we stopped- to fish and gather bouquets of the most beautiful flowers which we found In abundance along the stream. As we neared Fort Garland, the valley widened and the Bangre ’de Christo, increased by the addition of hundreds of clear moun tain springs, assumed the size and digni ty of a river. Tp the right of tho road the’ mountalnsbecame more elevated and pre cipitous, rising at length into tho snow clad peaks of the Sierra Blanca. The ele vation of tho valley was so great, that It brought us temptingly hear the snow, though the change in the atmosphere destroyed our desire for ice. and Office GOLD MINING. ■ From tho Sangre de Christo summit to Fort Garland wo passed many places where the ground had been worked for gold; and at the fort I have since learned that a large party is now engaged in pla cer-digging ul " The Graybaok,” near the Sangre de Christo summit. The claims In that vicinity pay to individual work ers from five to seven dollars per diem, and this while laboring under many dis advantages. A company is organized, and is now making preparations to con vey water to the placer, whore they ex pect to be well rewarded for their enter prise! As the organization is composed of experienced miners, I feel they will meet with that success which they so well deserve. FORT OAKLAND. This fort is about seven miles west of what was once Fort Massachusetts, now abandoned. It was established in the fall of 1858, and is certainly the best arranged post I have seen in the West. It is beau tifully located on the Sangre do Christo, where that stream enters the San Luis valley. Fort Garland is now garrisoned by the first battalion of New Mexican volunteers, known as Kit Carson’s battal ion. They have served longer than any volunteers our Government has had in its service, and with afldelity that reflects the highest credit on the officers and men of the command. It was raised at a time when the Territory was in the greatest danger; when Bibloy with his Texans was marching on it, and since then it has kept treason down in New Mexico. The celebrated Kit Carson, now brigadier gen eral, commanding the organization from the start, being assisted by his old.frlend, Colonel, Albert'H. Pfeflfer, and an able body of officers, several of - whom, are Mexicans, ns are the ■ greater number of enlisted men. It is my intentlonto speak more fully of Fort Garland and its kind, gentlemanly officers, on nfy return from the north. I will say* however, in this connection, that In soldierly bearing and proper discipline the men of this celebra ted regiment will. equal any in the regu lar service,do which this regiment should have been attached. I regret not to have found General Carson ’here, he having gone to Santa Fe oh business.; I will see him’on my return. ; In the meantime his place is well filled by Colonel .Pfeflbr, who; if will be remembered, IsthePyr, . thlas of General Oarsouia.

Onco upon a time lived a mighty king, who had a lovely wife, but no children. The deficiency vexed him to Buoh a de gree as to force from him a declaration, that if the Evil One himself gave him a son, the banting should be right wel come. Shortly after the utterance of this conditional promise he was honored with, a visit by a distinguished foreigner, whom he entertained hospitably in his castle.— In the course of conversation, the lack, or an heir to the throne was mentioned, and the stranger made a most liberal of fer, saying that the king should havatwo children within the course of a year, if he would present him with one. Finding that no reasonable objection could be made to this proposal, the king closed with it at once, and before a twelvemonth had passed, his queen bless ed him with a pair of twins, a boy aud a girl, both as beautiful as the day; He was so highly delighted that tho contract ho had made nearly faded from his mind. However, before another twelvemonth was gone, his memory was refreshed by a visit from the stranger, who asked which of the children he was to have? The king, with a dismal face, made the awk ward confession that ho would rather not part with either. Tho boy was necessary as heir to the throne, and tho girl was her mother’s pet; so what was to be done?— The stranger—who, of course, was the Evil One, but who clearly made good tho Eroverb, which states that he is not so lack as he is painted—was touched by the King's solicitations, aud told him that he would let him have both the children for five years longer, • At the end of that pe riod, he would assuredly return. On rolled the five years, and back came the stranger, to find the king more un willing than ever. Hard words were spoken on both sides, till at last a com promise was effected. The stranger was not to return until tho girl had comple ted her sixteenth year, and the king was then to give her up without resistance. Years glided dismally away, and the father's spirits became lower as ho ap proached the sixteenth anniversary of his daughter's birthday. His increasing mel ancholy attracted the notice of his son, a youth of singular precocity, who did his beat ,to learn the truth, but failed in every attempt. At last the boy besought him self pf his tutor—a priest of eminent piety —who, as soon.as he heard bis pupiPs re port; at once proceeded to the royal suf? ferer. . > - . .. “I have sold. my. daughter tothe —,” ' waa the brief, but pregnant confession of the fneianoboly king, The priest was not courtier enough to dissemble his opinion that transactions of this kind were highly improper: but he comforted the mourner with-the-assur ance that the case was pot quite hopeless. If lid only knew the exact time at which the hateful visitor was expected, he Would he oh the apot and prove a match for all mysterious strangers in the world. _ The speolfled birthday arrived, and so did the visitor; but ho found the priest at,the princess’ chamber-door, clad in all tholnslgnla Ofthe holy office. Ho durst ■nob enter-the room. An altercation en 'suedl which ended in the retreat of the enemy; not;’ however, without the dec laration that he would bide his time. 1 As long as the worthy priest lived, the girl Was well -protected, and throve ex-- ceediugly;-but when at the end- of two years be died, she feU sick and did not , Tong-survlve him. While on her death bed she entreated her , lather not to bury her St once; but to allow her to lay for a week in the church, under a strict guard: With this wish the king Complied, and the princess was laid on a' bier erected in the church, while a sentinel was placed .’at the door. . „, ~,, ’ On the very first midnight a frightful event occurred; -The princess, starting from 1 her coffin, shrieking aloud, “ where is xny abominable father and without more ado seized the eentlneland.tore him to pieces. In the morning the church > door was open: the princess quiet :tn (her’doffln, and the remains of the senti nel-lay scattered in various directions.— 'lntelligence of these facta spread far, and, wide; and a second sentinel was 'not.easi-, ly to he obtained. Lots; hoWever, were cast for. the appointment of. a, person tc .’the undesirable. vacancy, and. the victim '-wo».-a..ypnng.Bp!.<her who was in the habit of paying, his devotions every evening 'to J an imago of the-Holy Virgin. !After' fervently 1 praying; he set off for the church, and met on his way an old woman, who asked the cause of his melapoholy, and learning the danger with Which he;was menaced; urged him to present himself at the altar of the Ma donna, when he bad entered the oharob, and to close the rail behind him. With, this advice he complied, and when mldnightartlved the princess again raised herself from the coffin. “Four and twenty hours have passed” she said,- “ since T have drank human blood, where Is my abominable father, that I may tear him to pieces for his dastardly promise ?” Again mie raged about the church but hot perceiving the sentinel, returned to her coffin without doing further harm. The sentinel was terribly tightened, MI but the king convinced that be bad got the right man in the right place, persua ded him to keep crimed another night.— , Again the young man performed Ufauuu itual devotions, and again be met the old woman. The incidents that now occur red were nearly identical with those of the previous night, only the indicated place of refuge was the confessional, and the deceased princes was nioro violent than before. It may be taken as a gen eral rule that, In the popular stories of all nations, the second or third adventurlcs is generally similar to the first. The king hod sdme difficulty iu per suading the young man to perform the awful duty of guarding the princess for a third night;, but his entreaties, and st.iU more bis representation that the safety of a soul was at stake, ultimately prevailed. On his way to the church, after ho had prayed with unwonted fervor to his pro tectress, he met, not the old woman, but a sately Indy, who went with him Into the building and told him to hold in his loft band a bottle of mixture which she gave him, to take the monstrance from the tabernacle, and hold it in his right hand, and thus armed to sit down close to the high altar. She also warned him of the novel circumstances for which ho was to bo prepared. After the departure of the stately lady, the sentinel awaited the signal of the midnight hour in great uneasiness. At the last stroke of the clock the princess again arose, with fire darting from her eyes and mouth, cursing her father more bitterly than over, and seeking with in creased violence a victim for her wrath. Presently four men made their appear; anco, who seized her violently, ami stand ing two on each side of the church, tossed her backward and forward like a shuttle cock. At the end of this strange perform ance*they spread a carpet over the altar stops, and flinging the princess upon it were about to chop her to pieces with a huge sword. .Warned than the time for action was now come, the sentinel flung the monstrance, containing the Host, at the impious four, and they all vanished, leaving the princess gasping at his feet.

The amusing adventure is from Colonel Maroy’s 44 Thirty Years of Army Life on the Border,” , A naval offi cer, many years ago made the experiment of hunting with the lasso, but his succes was by no means decisive. The officer had, it appeared, by constant practice upon the* snip, while making the long and tiresome voyage round tho Horn, ac quired . very considerable proficiency in tue use of the lasso, and was . able, at twenty or thirty paces, to throw the noose over the head of the negro cook at almost every cast. So confident had he become in his skill that on his arrival upon tho coast of Southern California, he employed a guide, and, mounted on a well-trained horse, with bis lasso properly coiled and ready for use, he one morning set out for the mountains, with firm resolve of bag ging a few grizzlies before night. He ad not been out a great while before he encountered one of the largest specimens of the mighty beast, whose terrific aspect amazed him not a little, but, os he had come out with tho firm determination to capture a grizzly, in direct opposition to the advice of his guide, he resolved to show him that he was equal to the occa sion. Accordingly he seized his lasso and riding up to the animal, gave it sev eral rapid whirls above bis head in the most artistic manner, and sent the noose directly around the bear’s neck at the very first cast; but the animal, instead of taking to his heels and endeavoring to run away, as he had anticipated; very deliberately sab up on his haunches, fac ing his adversary, aud commenced mak ing a very careful examination of the rope. He turned his head from one side to the other in looking at it; he felt it with his paws, and scrutonized it very closely, as if it was something he could not comprehend. In the meantime the officer had turned his horse in the oppo site direction, and commenced applying the rowle to his side most vigorously, with the confident expectation that he was to ohoke tho bear to death and drag him off in triumph; but to his astonish ment, tho horse, with tho utmost efforts, did not seem to advance. The great strain upon the lasso, however, began to choke the bear so much that he soon be .camo enraged, and gave the rope several violent slaps; first with one paw and theh with the other, but seeing that this did not relieve him; he seized the lasso with both paws; and commenced pulling it hand over hand, or rather paw over paw, and bringing with it the horse and- rider that wore {attached.to'the opposite ex tremity; The officer redoubled the appli cation of both, whip and-spur, but It was all of no avail— he had evidently “caught a Tartar,;” 1 and In spite of all ■ the efiorts of his horse he recoiled rather, than ad-, vanced.- In tbistintensly-exciting, and critical juncture he cast a hasty glance to the rear, and to his horror, found himself steadily) backing- towards the frightful monster; who sat up with hls eyes glar ing like Walls of: fire,-his huge mouth wide open and frothing with rage, send-* Ing forth the mostterrlffio and deep toned fonts, Ho now, for the first time,’ feit se riously alarmed, and cried out ferociously’ for his guide to come to his-rescue.- -Tho latter responded; promptly,-rode. up, cut the lopso and extricated the amateur gen tleman from his perrllous position.

The most curious and amusing ,of the 1 many, hasp ball 1 contests that have occurred this year was that which took place at Chicago a ■few days since. The 1 Bxeelsibr.olub of ■that city, which has been : fondly ed by its citizens as the best In the coun try, has been fearfully beaten by the-Na tlonal, of Washington.. To add to the hu miliation, the Washington blub vves boat on' tho day before by a rural olnb from ■Rockford, in Northern’’lllinois; 'lt ap pears tliat a large number of heavy bet ters accompanied the National club and invested ail their spare money* in bets with the Ohioagonlans.;* -■ '.

The Chicago people unwisely got Into a rage and made cnarges ‘Jock eying’ against tho winning club, but these accusations were soon abandoned and a clean confession of defeat had to bo made. Tho match may be regarded as the culmi nation of the base ball mania, which has been so rapidly on. the increase during the past year. The gambling accompa niments of this fine, athletic sport will we fear, cause it to sink into disrepute.. Give strict attention'to your own af fairs and consider the printer's bill one of them.

THU LAST DISC VISE CAST ASIDE / If there ia a man In Pennsylvania still doubts that the Radicals are ; determined to force Sumner’s universal negro suf frage and negro equality bill through at the next session of Congress, to him es pecially do wo commend a perusal of the account of the “ Equal Eights Meeting" at Wilmington, Delaware, as reported at length in Eorney’s Press of yesterday.— Tho assemblage is said to have been large and tho special reporter of tho Press ex hausts tho vocabulary in describing the excitiugaoenesoftheoccasiou. Womako the following extracts: [s|pccfaZ Correspondence the Prcst: Wilmington-, Sept. 4, 1807. The largest political meeting over held in the State of Delaware, assembled yes terday at Wilmington, to demand the re cognition by law , over all the country, of the entire equality of all American citizens in all civil and political rights, without re* gard to color,, and to appoint delegates to a Convention of the Border States, to. bo held at Baltimore on the 12th inst., to solicit the passage by Congress of the Sum ncr-Kclley bill establishing impartial suf frage throughout the whole Union: The vast assemblage convened in and overflowed the largo hall of the Wilming ton Institute, and was called to order at twelve o’clock. ....... After the appointment of a long list of officers, part negroes and part white men, the Press goes on to say : . A list of a hundred delegates to the com ing Convention at. Baltimore, was, then read by Samuel Bancroft Jr., Esq., and unanimously adopted; a third of the dele-'' gates chosen being colored men, about six hundred of whom were present at the. meeting, . The following resolutions, as read by •Mr, Harrington, were received with the greatest enthusiasm, and adopted by ac clamation, the whole audience rising to their feet: • ■ Resolved, - That- the- theory of -our government, the claims of impartial jus tice, the equal rights of citizens, and the loyalty and faithful services of the color ed people demand that the right of suf frage shall be extended to them in common with all other , loyal citizens ; and we. re spectfully petition Congress to confer and secure this right at the earliest ’ possible pe riod, bysuohieglslatloaasthey may deem right and appropriate,., .Resolved, That in the Slate of Delaware there does iwt exist d Republican form of government, because of • the exclusion of a large .number of her colored citizens from participation in the enjoyment and exer cise of political rights and because of the gross inequality of representation in ‘the Legislature, whereby loss than one-half of the, citizens wield the power of the,. State. ’Wo hereby call upon Congress.to assure to us the guarantees of the Con stitution of the United States in every particular. Resolved, That we demand the recogni tion by lav), of the entire equality of all American citizens , without regard to cot or, in all civil and political rights and privileges, and the protection and en couragement of the Government to en able every man to occupy whatever posi tion his virtues and intelligence may qualify him to hold. ...... John-Andrew Jackson Cresswell, of Maryland, an ex-Unlted States Senator, made a long and .exceedingly Radical speech, demanding that the Sumner- Kelley bill be passed at the very begin ning of the next session ofCohgresa. He took the ground that no State which re fused the negro a vote or the Tight to hold, olllce, could be, said to have a republican form of government, and expressed the firm conviction 'that-the next Congress, would at once pass a law abolishing eve ry distinction between, the races in every State of the Uniou. A prominent Radi cal Congressman from Pennsylvania fol lowed the blustering ox-Senator from Maryland. We give the Press report of how ho was received and what he said ; The colored band cf Wilmington then played .“ Hail to the Chief,” when the president .amidst a perfect storm of en thusiasm, introduced Hon. William D. Kelley, a member of Congress from Phil adelphia, the colored portion of the audi ence especially rising to .tholr feet, and: giving nine cheers for the Judge, whom, since his Southern* tour, they seem to consider their especial spokesman in the halls; of Congress,: •. ... i ‘ The Judge said he could not help think ing how rapidly the world does move and, how good old John Brown’s soul Isjead ing it on. Ho hoped thatsdme one ofthe distinguished delegates just appointed :tO; attend the Border States’, .Convention, would bear'to it a'message froin.hlm/viz: • that he endorsed every word of the ad mirable resolutions Teported by his friend Geno Val. Harrington. Ho saw early in the War that it-was the duty of .the Gov-, eminent to:rally all of Its citizens around its flag, : . and to allow all to peril iliolr. livesin its'defence. Fromthebeginning of our great conflict he saw that our Im perilled country-heeeed the aidof four millions of. its most robust .citizens, and felt that the .Almighty would hot allow victory to perch: upon our banners till wC at lost did justice to l our American citi zens of African descent; 'And now we need the political power of-theso. four millions or people,, as. we needed their military power before.**. Without their aid we cannot reconstruct a singleioyal State in the South. govern hibnt must be organized there. - W© can not send white men there, because they don’t want to go, and If they did, they would hardly bo welcomed by their whit©- brethren: , But in all those States there are bravo and true men, who all through, the war'perilled'their lives serving; theTr cotmtryrin their-humble way. 1 But it Is'sald.these black ’heroes are Ighorant.

He next took up and conslderes the-relations of the labor question to that of suffrage, showing their intimate connection and the Importance to the Northern laboring man of the adoption of principles of civil, justice. By his well-known mixture of wit; logic and sarcasm, the Judge carried conviction • to many previously doubting minds on this important branch > of the suffrage . question, and. was repeatedly, greeted with loud applause.

The Judge closed amidst great enthusi asm, and after three tremendous cheers for Kelley, the convention, on motion of General Harrington, adjourned sine die. Comment upon the above account would be superfluous. None is needed. The resolutions speak for the Radicals of Pennsylvania os well as for those of Dela ware. The Keystone and the little Dia moud State are in the same boat. In tho estimation of Congress neither of them has a republican form, of government.— They will both bo reconstructed by the Sumnor-Kolley bill, unless Radaoallsm receives a check In this State at the com ing election. Tho Yankee Judge Wib liams is a firm believer In the high-flown rhaposides indulged in by Bill Kelley,—. Ho is pledged to decide the Sumner-Kol ley bill to be constitutional and binding on every election, officer in Pennsylvania. He will not deny that charge. No Re publican paper dare deny It for him. It is part and parcel of the plan of the pres ent political campaign. The Republican press in different parts of the State have so nanouncod it. The issue is fairly and squarely made up, and it must bo boldly met. Nothing can prevent tho passage of a bill making all tne negroes of Penn sylvania tho full political and social equals of the whites, except the election of I Judge Sharewood. Even that may not be sufficient to deter ■ Congress; but with him upon the bench of oar Supreme Court the obnoxious law could not be en forced. ■ : ' . x We hope every Democrat will put this article into the hands of his republican neighbors. They, might not believe what wo say, but they cannot refiiso to credit Forney’s Press and Judge Kelley’s speech. THE TRUTH ABOUT OEK. BHEBIDiS, -Now that General Sheridan ban been peaceably removed the u loyal” prqsa of New Orleans, so called, are beginning to tell the truth about him. It now appears that even the Radicals did not like him and that they welcome any change in the command of that district. The paper—the Republican —edited by a mix* ed Corps of whites and negroes is forced to spy; . As the connection of General Sheridan with this military district is now brought to al close, we deem it appropriate to give a cursory review of his oivif administra tion, especially Jn Louisiana. This is the mote Important'at this time, because some of the recent acts of this distinguish ed officer have been so misrepreseuted by newspaper correspondents as to produce quite an erroneous impression at the North. 1 We see by Northern Republican journals that General Sheridan Is regarded throughout that section of the country os having taken an advanced position la the promotion of Republican principles, aud that his removal is looked npon as an insult to the republlcanparty. Hods considered, to have done efiloleut service in this district to the cause of reconstruc tion on the Congressional plan, especially • by the prompt removal of disloyal offi cials. and the appointment of able and patriotic men in their stead. Now It is not our intention to detract, In the lease 1 , from the glory which encircles the brow of the hero of the Shenandoah. We de sire to recognize and acknowledge all his eminent services, and to pay the tribute due to hlß.eminenl quaUues. We regret that among the latter we cannot consol* entioualy place statesmanship. Indeed it Is very seldom that two gifts so rare aud so brilliant as military genius and statesmanlike insight are bestowed on the one individual. Nor does General Sheridan himself layclaim to any such ex ceptioualdlstinctions. Oh the contrary, ho unostentatiously proclaims himself sim ply a soldier, aud makes no secret of the small estimation in which he holds those qualities which nature has denied him. Ho fraukly announced on first assuming command of this district his utter con tempt for politics aud politicians; an un fortunate prejudice in one destined to exorcise political powers so entenslve as those conferred by. the military recon struction laws. Tuat this prejudice has bad a paralyzing tendency which greatly diminished his usefulness and retarded instead of advancing the cause intrusted to his care, we are about to show. After detailing his shortcomings at greats length the Republican goes on to say: j . . To sum, up, r Geueral Sheridan, after twb'years of authority and five* months of absolute‘ control In this District, leaved the City of New Orleans, the chief pointr of interest ln .it, in a deplorable condition, financial, political, and sani tary ;lits treasury robbed by rebel officials under his Very nose; the cause of Repub licanism no more : advanced among ite white citizens, than it was two years ago; and . ad epidemic raging which the expe rience ofthe last five years seems at least to teach, us might have been avoided by care ; and.cleanTineBs.,. - Undoubtedly this is all true os gospel, and Isas well known in the Tribune office and at General Grant’s headquartes as in New Orleans. General Sheridan made a dashing, brilliant soldier, but his course as commander of a military district showed him to be wllful|’ insubordinate, a creator of. confusion, and utterly with out the temper, tact and discretion nec essary for the position he was placed In. T«d Negroes in Virginia.— A corres pondent writes us from Norfolk, Virgin ia,' as follows; . :• “Until a recent visit up country I had no,idea of the evil influence Thad. Ste vens’ confiscation’ policy la working upon the freedmeh. Colored folks, as a class, are very much given to waiting for ‘some thing to tarn up.’ They never do to-day what rean possibly be put off till to morrow. Hence the the evil effects of the belief Inow rapidly spreading, that the landwillsoou be divided among them, may be .easily imagined. They are be coming less and leas inollnded to regular work, And more and more exactingjapd insolent. A great many kmd-hoHera rentedtofreedmen, sometimes on shares and sometimes on money rent, for the cur rent year.' * lii nine coses out of ten I ven ture to say the result is unsatisfactory. The result of registration shows a white. majority:of about twenty thousand; but os therefore more than ten thousand white Radicals in the State, it may bo considered as in the hands of the Radi cals... About forty thousand whites are not registered, while every negro over nineteen years Is. The result shows the negro'population 'to have diminished twenty-five percent slncelSGO. The de crease is probably about half owing to mi-, gratlon northward, and half to deaths.” York Tribune, on tho 15th Instant, spoke of the German element in Pennsylvania as 14 the school-hating, ram-joying breed of. Dutch.” The Tri bune wants Judge Williams, of Connec ticut,- elected to the Supreme Bench of the State. What say tho .honest German settlers of Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, Fulton and other counties? The Press considers the news from California very “unsatisfactory.” It la, indeed, to the “ narrow-minded block heads.” That is a great State for 11 dead ducks” just now.
