Grizzly bear, Elk. Dear, Antelope. Hare, Wolves,
Cycneis, occupy rho man mains, hills and plains in
vast numbers, wild cattle and hones are to be seen
in thou-ands, down upon the plains. I have been
upon the top of one of the hills, that overlooks our
camp where the snow was several inches in:depth.
hen at-the camp a mile below, were not a ventage
of snow. the green grass and vegetation growing.
S in spring, from the top of this ridge one can look
oil to the west and Pee the magnificent valley of
Ilw San Joaquin, and still beyond 'the coast range
of Mountains, anti then again to the east are to be
seen the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada covered
with perpetual snow, and nearer by the high bluffs
and hills, with little streams pouring down, and
falling sometimes hundreds of feet down their sides

stain upon a fine day' to .view :his scene, yon can

The grizzly bear are Ter) numerous and also very
dangerous, many men have Been killed chime by

hear of the grisly xre true, or at least I suppose
so, as I have found out since I have been here ;
they seithms molest any one, unless wootalekt, then
they will follow a persotrfor 617 P, they sometimes
come into camps, walk into a lent help themselves
to what they watir, and then travel out again.—
Two young mini were killed a few days ago up at.

or fifteen shots hi him when he made for one of
thC'hunters, the man run until he came where a
companion wood who had a min loaded ready lot.
lons. as the bear came up the gun missed fire.—
Grizzly gave them. one blow and took an arm from
each of them, the) are since dead. Numbers have
been killed here this winter weighing from six to
fifteen hunched lb. each, I confess myself to great
a coward ever to shoot at one, but the deer it is'
positively no trouble to kill five or sis of a morn

This Mil is considered, by the Whigs an rather
too favorable to the Democratic party, and since
they have actually called a meeting in this Barongb
to denounce it and influence the Governor to exer
cise the veto power. It is confidently asserted by
knowing Whigs that Its Efedieney will surmount
at ony enormous stride; all his former objections to
thelle : of the re o and severer at once so as to
make the application to this Bill with efi the fierce
he can command. Still there are Wnigewith m
nanimity enough to say, even upon the floor of
the House, that the Bill is as good an one as the
Whigs would hove given the Democrats, if they
had had the power to control it. Its fate in the
hands of the Governor is extremely doohtfal,-1
think it will be vetoed. It passed the Senate, in
its present form on Toenday last and' the House
concurred in all the amendments made by the Sen
ate. The Bill provides all the necessary reg

wanted. The committee in the Senate were desi

the county real to Laporte at Once, and establish it
penranently without the action of Commissioners.
The Bill in its present shape, repeats the action of
the late C.Gmmissionens, which, of course places
the County Seat back to Laporte, where it will re
main unless removed by the Commissioners, to be
appoit.ted. The Bill is now before the House for
cJncurrence which will undoubtedly be done be

County Seat at Cherry, of course, it falls to the

Since the above was written the House has con

anotheri, which annuls the provisions restoring the
County , seat at Laporte, and to this the Senate have
refused .to concur. The Bill is now before

AFFAIR.—The Whig press general=
ly, dilly conscious of the enormity and profligacy
involved in the Galphin affair, which recen.ly trans
pired in Washington, are etleavoring to separate
General Taylor from all conitection , with it, and to
attacki*the principal portion -ofthe blame to three
members of ints cabinet, Mr. Breredith, of the
Treasury difitireetilt, Mt. Ewing, of the'Rome de
partment, and Mr. Johnston; the Attorney General.
The lA'ashitigtcni Republic distinctly declares-, th at
the Pies,ident had nothing to do with these (halos
upon theTreasitry. This statetherit We think rather
unfortunate, because we catrpereeive no difference
betwee n the connivanrer at wsystem of shameless
plunder,and the wilful neglect to arrest the prac
tice, or t&cornpe_l'ihe plunderer to disgorge his ill
gotten, gains: The attempts,however. to shut& all
responsibility from the shoulders of the President
upon those of the Cabinet, are such as we would
,suppose any high,minded man ,holding that office
would scarcely be willing to brook.
The consequence of granting the interest on' this
old claim was easily to be foreseen. It is said that
-numerous applications are now made to Congress,-
for the interest on old claims against the, Govern
ment ; and we believe that Secretary gyring has
•recently allowed a claim for Chicksaw improve
