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.

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.

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.

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.
