The main snowy range, in its passage through Colorado, pursues a nearly northerly direction sending forth spurs or smaller ranges which, with their accom panying valleys, fully occupy the gunatry between long. 105° hnd 107° (W.tfiiMiGreen wicE), rendering, the coun moun tainous in the extreme. Many of these valleys, several of which are of large area, are nearly circular in form, and much resemble the beds of ancient lakes, nearly free from timber, with which the hillsides are densely covered,carpeted with luxurant buffalo grass, certainly deserve the name they receive, that of Parks. The principal of these Parks are the North, Middle and South (of nearly equal area), and the San Louis Park of .greater extent. In addition to these there fire numbers of smaller ones, varying in area from a few hundreds to several thousand acres,through numbers of which the road to the South Park, taken by your correspondent, pur sued its way, and from their number and beauty forming the charming features of the journey. The scenery between- Denver City and the South Park from its constantly varying character is most beautiful. After leaving the city, a distance of six or eight miles. brought. us to the the 'base of the foot hills, as they are called. _tit= theipaint to the edge of the Park, a distance of about sixty miles, our road was a mountanous one, and at times difficult to travel. Crossing the first small "divide" or ridge, we entered Bear. Canon, a long narrow valley surrounded by mountains_behind us,. forming a natural wall to: the "canon" (pronounced canyon) as perpendicular as a built by. the hands of man, lay a ridge of red sandstone, which rising gradually from the great plains, which lay between the Rocky Mountains and the Missouri River, bad by the action of water or some Other great agent of nature, been worn perpen dicularly, leaving a wall varying in height from fifty to several hundred feet. The peaks of this wall, which extends as far as the eye could discern, were worn into most curious shapes, resembling as the fancy of the beholder might imagine, the forms of various animals, human faces, &c.ln the centre of the canon stood an isolated peak of the same red sandstone, at least one hun dred feet high. On its summit wnich was but a mere point, rested,nicely balanced by nature, a huge boulder of several hundred tons weight, a point of which rested on the point of the peak; it seemed hardly possible that this huge rock, which resembles a pumpkin balanced on a needle point would remain so secure. After crossing Bear Canon; we began the ascent of Bradford Hill, celebratedthrough (jut the country for its steepness, and the dread of all freighters to the Park..lt re quired us nearly four hours to cross it, fully taree of which was consumed in reaching the snmit. At this point the view was a grand one, seldom equaled in the opinion of your correspondent, in grandeur and sublimity. As we stood on the summit several thousand feet above the level of the plain beneath us, Denver city wag to be seen in the distance, distinguishable in the darkness by a few twinkitr% lights; nehind and on all sides lay ranges of mountains, to which the beams of the rising moon gave a peculiar brightness, far in the distance the snow-clad sum mits of Long and Pike's Peaks shone like twin stars, while the ravines and val lies beneath us were plunged in inky black ness, forming a view; once seen, never to be forgotten, A. few moments having been given hi:the beholding the beauties of nature, videly and grandly spread before us, we began our downwardjonrney into darkness; the moon being but high enough totip with light the , peaks o'er head. About 9 P. M., we reached Danforth's Ranche, the exact counterpart of all others on the road, as re garde appearance, &a. Built of logs, "chinked" with china and mud inside, the main feature • was,; ; a huge open fire-place, extending nearly,' across. the side of the room, in which blazed gieat logs of pine. sending forth both light and heat. On the rafters overhead hung several rifles; and in fact, down to the modern latch, lifted by a string from the inside, the cabin was. last such as we read of as being the dwelling of the frontiersman and .!.pioneer in-the'early days of the settlement of our Western States. Aheartywelcome,always given to strangers in this part of the great West, - did- much to relieve the -weariness of - our journey.- Our journey next day was a devious one; climbing steep hills with the .corresponding. descent into the valley beneatlywhich often times would [ widen out into one of tbeabove: mentioned ;small parks, through pine for ests, around hill sides, and along the banks of mountain streams the scenery ever changing, ever beautiful. The third day brought us near to the main snowy range, and we, here met the first snow-, which,trom this point,- ' increased in depth until we reached the edge, of the. Pa.rk. As we ap proached nearer to the range,the mountains increased in size and% grandeur; at times rising perpendicular on either side of • us, to many hundreds of feet in height; withbut a narrow pass between, natural. fortifications, where a few men could bid defiance to an army. - ' The following day saw us fhirlv in the region of snow, great drifts barred our pas sage, through which we.wearily and slowly, made our way, becoming'at times fast in them, .then came hours of shoveling and, tramping to clear a way • for the-horses. So bad was the road, that although our team was a large and= powerful one, but seven miles was all we were able to accomplish: At night we rested within three miles of the edge.of the South Park, and early morning .kiund us prepared for the remainder of our journey. After 'climbing "the 'last long and steep hill;' about 7' A. Mo., lie emerged- from the pines on its top and looked out as did - - of WHOLE 4301:TNT-Min PHILADELPHIA., FRIDA;M'ARCH 2?,1866. the, messengers ,of the Children of israer, , upon the promised' hind, the - great South Park, and ,treasures of gold and silver. Imagine, dear reader, after wearily climb . - - ing a mountain road, to suddenly find your self nearly a thousand feet above the level •4:if a west inland basin; for such is the Park: describe. To - look out on this great plain' seventy miles long.and forty wide, as, it lay. et your feet, rid - gest Without number,densely clad with. pine . ; forests, bordered and - nin into it on all sides, 'While the plain, with its Unbroken.. expanse, lightly ?covered , with.

The snow ohtd. -, - peaks of . the -great snowy range; the main Cordillera, the back bone of th e ., g yeat American Continent, far b away in the distance, athed - in the fair sunlight, seemed like mountains of silver, ruby tipped- 7 fahlindications of the great store of golden -treasure they hold in their tioSoms. No sound but the roaring of the Wind among the pines was heard; no living creature was to be seen, save an t , occasional wolf, es, he appeared on the edge of the forest, or now and then a bird, as it sailed in the pure , clear .air overhead. The scene was perfect. The hand'of man had-not yet marred nature's beauty. All appeared as if they, had just'left the Creatorit.hand. An hour was delightfully passed in watching the various colors of the mountain tops, as the sun gradually rose towards the zenith. The brilliant . shades of crimson red faded slowly away, replaced by tones of lighter hue, which in turn, as gradually passed away, leaving the snowy summits of their pure, cristal white. The scene was one unsurpassed in grandeur, and im printed itself indelibly on the memory of your correspondent. A last glance having been given to the fair vista spread before us, we began our downward journey, and hav ing good roads. early in the afternoon we reachedthe Hamilton, better known proba bly as Tarryall, the famous gulch mining region of a few years ago, noted for the amount and purity of the gold obtained there. It being winter, but few men were engaged in mining, the superior attractions for richness of return and per manency of value which lodes present, naving attracted many from its mines. An easy journey, the next day, brought us to Fairplay, also a place of notoriety in the palmy days of Colorado gulch mining, now but little worked, for the reason above Mated. In summer, when water in abun dance is to be procured, these gulches, in ;Acmes, are still extensively worked, al though the busy population of hundreds they once held, is to be met with no longer. Having crossed a corner of the Park, we +allowed the course of the South Platte River, a stream, whose branches we bad crossed a number of times, taking the mountain road, we, early the following day, reached Laurette, in Buckskin .Toe mining district, at the foot of the main range, and but three miles from its summit. The head waters of the Platte have their origin in three small streams, fed by the melted snow from the range, these streams run down Mosquito, Buckskifi Joe, and Mont gomery gulches, all of which are thickly permeated with mineral lodes and forming the South Park gold mines. Across the range, in rifle shot of the head waters of the Platte,.the great. Rio Colorado emptying into the Gulfof California, and the bead waters of the Arkansas flowing through a pass, across the plains into the Mississippi have their origin. This part Of Colorado is then the dividing line, the great water shed, from either side of which the great rivers of the East and of the West begin the journey toward the ocean. The three gulches above mentioned being, as I have stated, the centre of the mining . region of the Park, and destined from the richness and extent of their mines soon to rival the famous Gregory district, merit a full de scription, which the length of this letter re minds me must be postponed until the next, which I propose to devote to a brief description of the mineral and mining ad vantages which this section so largely pre sents. Until that time I will remain Yours, VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT` Ills Statements to the Connecticut. Dele gation. [Washington Correspondence N. Y. 'Tribune.] A part of the Connecticut delegation re mained over to-day, and had another inter view with President Johnson. He frankly admitted his sensitiveness on the point of having had the Union triumph in New Hampshire heralded as a defeat of the Pre sidential policy. He knew differences of opinion existed, and he was willing to tole ate them while earnestly desiring the suc cess of his own peculiar views, yet he had never had any- other thought thanto fig,ht out these differences in the Union party and not out of it, and he had never, hy word. or deed, knowingly given any one reension to suppose him in favor of a. restoration to power of the corrupt and disloyal party which had vilifiedj and opposed him during all the dark days of :the war. He asserts that the effort making in Con necticut to represent the Administration as 'hostile to the success of the Union -Hawley :ticket, and desirous for the triumph of Fog lia!, as totally , untrue. The statement that the Federal' officeholders in that State have been in any way influenced or directed ad versely. to ;Gen. Hawley, is equally false. The interview of Mr. Foster and Gen. Haw ' ley yesterday lasted nearly two hours, and yet this morning's IntelAgencer, has the nardihood to assert that Gen. Hawley failed #5 get an interview with the President. This paper is pronounced by the" leading Copperhead journals in Connecticat, 'for their own purposes', asl"the Administration organ;" and by such audacious and system atic falsification does it hope to aid the cause of its friends, the Copperheads, in Connecticut.

Nor was the task of Washington, after the -recognition of American Independence, alto gether unlike that of President johnson since the subjugation• of the South." The -creation of "Union was then the first ob ject of the American statesmaxi,as the resto ration of the Ihaicin is now; and if the' ciple of, federalism was predominani in the mind of- Washington, while' that - of State rights' -is uppermost in that of Mr.'. Johnson, it is only because the present danger prOceeds from an opposite quarter. :When the doctrine of State rights was pushed to extremes inconsistent with the existence of a Federal Republic, Mr. Johnson took his stand upon the same around as his illustrious predecessor. Now that "a consolidation equally dangerous and objectionable with separation" is the avowed aim of the Radical party, and that a committee appointed by a Congress from which the seceding States are excluded is assuming to dictate the terms of their read mission, Mr. Johnson interposes his au thority to save the Constitution, and Wash ington would assuredly have done the same. There •is, indeed, no answer to the pregnant argument which is at once the keynote to this remarkable speech, and the keystone of that conservative policy which 11r. Johnson inherited from Mr. Lincoln. It is impossible not to admire:the resolute will and truly patriotic spirit which give this outspoken declaration an interest far above the ordinary utterances of American Presidents. An equally striking merit, however, is its singular clearness as an ex position of the sentiments which distinguish Mr. Johnson's party, as it is now called, from those which have hitherto appeared to engross the whole field of Northern politics. He does not scruple 'to state that he ever was, and still is, for the Union at any price. Such was, doubtless, Mr. Lincoln's real opinion, and passages very similar in tone might probably be culled from his earlier addresses. But it is one thing to use language of this kind when the issue is un decided, and the abolitien of Slavery had not yet become a military or political neces sity; it is another thing to repeat it when its advocates are victorious, commanding a majority in Congress, and - almost prepared to risk a fresh revolution rather than sacri fice the doctrine of negro equality. There is one reflection that is almost forced upon us .by the spectacle of these exciting conflicts on the other side of the Atlantic. Political movements on so grand a scale quite dwarf our own domestic interests, and we are sometimes halt tempted to envy a state of things which gives scope for the dis play of the highest 'public virtues. No he editary monarch, nor even an elective Em peror inheriting the traditions and admin istrative system of an hereditary Monarchy, can ever be placed in the same position as President Johnson; .. and it is to be feared that few Princes born in the purple would be capable of facifig a great emergency with equal: . courage and dignity. There is a stamp of reality 'and proud seif confidence in this appeal to the sovereign people which obliterates the effect of some indiscreet expressions, and make us feel that Ms. Johnson is equal to guiding the destinies of a great nation through a neri ions crisis. It is only civil war and the dire exigencies which arise out of it which can develop qualities of this type, or show the difference between ParliamentarY ability and the powers of a Cromwell or a Wash ington. Yet that nation is surely not the happiest in which such powers have the amplest room for their exhibition. Nations oo not exist to produce or show off great characters, but to cultivate the well-being of all their members, and to fulfill the ends, moral and material, of human society. When we contrast the tame ness of party struggle at home with the colossal proportions of American poli tics, the caution and reticence of our own statesmen with the decision and simplicity of President Johnson, we should remember, though in no spirit of arrogant self-compla cency, :that bold seamanship cannot be manifested in ilkir weather. Had we several millions of emancipated slaves among us, whole provinees lately in revolt to pacify and govern, the wounds inflicted by four years of war to heal, and the most desperate of financial problems to solve--were Parlia ment at issue with the Crown, and were the monarchy, if not the life of the Sovereign at stake—then, indeed, we might expect to see revolutionary virtues, as well as revolu tionary passions, elevated toun heroic pitch , of which we, fortunately, have no experi ence. From tliefLondorr Daily :News, March 9.] Mr. Johnson's speech was full of the old Tennessee spirit, with thisimportant differ ence, that instead of being directed against the Southern disunionista it was pointed at men but for whose public spirit and constancy under disappointment and misfortune he would not now be President - of the United States. His denunciations, however, were notaltogether without cause. The President was defending hiniself against violent and - unjust attacks. He bad been personally assailed with a bit terness which - has rarely been surpaseed,on account of his' reconstruction 'policy', and since the - proMulgation of his veto iv' the Freednien's Bureau bill,h as been'denounced in. Congress itself as a rebel and traitor, and as an "obstacle which must be got rid of." It is not, therefore, surprising that he should have spoken of his detractor with, words of wrath. The problem of rea I m- struction is a - very difficult one; it may be that the policy which the President is pur suing willnot succeed in winning back the South, and yet it may be his duty to try it, and to - hope for its success. Nor will his present opponents' have any right to taunt hint with its eventual failure. The differ ence between the ' President and the Radi cals is, that his plan contemplates the whole Southern population, 'while they -care only for the negroes; forgetting that if the black man is to prosper it must baby the pros-' - perity of the whole community, and that if he is to enjoy freedom it must be , through' the reinvigoration of free instittitionst, and that.'; no'leislation which* should impair these could' permanently serve his interests' ''We' can disdover no signs -that; the course which the radicals followed; has bad the effect of driving President! Johnson into the hands of the ' old , copper.l head party, - although it was well calculated' to have that effect upon a weaker: man The! -President has'plainly and , repeatedly de-i dared that for the present the-negro 'must: and shall be protected at the South by spe-", ciallegislative and adthinistrative Measures,, with the execution of which he 'is ,readyld KIN osiEssixa, chargehimself.

And he has declared . I.iiinsdr_ ready , to go further than this, and to give - assent Ito a bill extending the powers :and operation tof the exis' Bureau for two yeant.

In the very., endeavor: to become stiperias to Duties, Mr. Johnson is becoming a par- (From the Londop - Daily ige:is, Much 10.] vast. Thus far, it it is already clear theta preponderance of public orditionis with the President, and against the. CongressiOnal majority which ougM. not to., have passed any measure so orowded wilh tmconstitn- - tional provisions as the Freedmen's Bureau. Bill. :Cho instant effect of Mr. .Tohnsoes explanation of his veto was to convince sev ,eral. members, who thereupon voted against the bill instead of carrying it over the veto,, as they might easily have done. It maybe understood to be a settled point that the- Southern people who desire to re-enter. the , Union are not to be deprived of any essen tial or common constitutional rights forthe protection of the body of the negrOe.s, who ought to be rendered safe at a much less cost. It is again, a settled point that the actual President will never agree to admit, the worst evil land danger menaced by a conflict about State rights—the giving of in ordinate powers to the Central Government. aire By the rejected bill, theExec.utive, thre ugh its agents, could have interfered in every corner of every State where negroes w living; judging, deciding, controlling, ~n places where - peculiar or unknown laWs, customs and manners prevail; or where the dictation of strangers must koep up a con stant ifritation. By that byn enormous patronage would have been put into the hands of the Executive, creating as much suspicion and cupidity at, the North as offence in the South. By that bill a vast almshouse would have been created and established as a department of the Na tional Government. By that bill the Ex ecutive would have usurped to a considera ble extent the distribution and guarantee of lands, which are the proper business of the courts. Assigning these grounds and some others for his action, the Presidenthas refused to aggregate new powers for the use of his successors, and to destroy the balance which alone renders union possible,. by granting only a nominal and not a real restoration and a pretended independence ' to the bumbled States, which may be won over to loyalty and patriotism now. Meyer. [From the Sioachester Examiner,MarchlOd There can be no doubt that President Johnson entertains the fullest hope of being sustained in the course he has adopted • bjr the syMpathies.of the people. Whether he is right in.this opinion time will show, but in the meantime it is equally certain that he is acting in entire consistency with the opinion he has always held, and which he was known to hold when the suffrages of the people raised him to the second position in the Republic. His Washington speech is one of the boldest that the world has listened to for many a day. It is terribly in earnest. We recognize in it the samedaunt less courage,the same fidelity to conviction, and the same recklessness of personal con sequences, as were displayed in his own State of Tennessee,wheu he had Whack. the cause of the Union and the rights of the ne gro against the prejudices of the slaveheld ing oligarchy. Those were the qualilica lions -which tirocured for him unbounded popularity throughout the North, and led to his being placed on the same ticket with Mr. Lincoln for the office of Vice President. Events have singularly interwoven them selves with man's intentions in the, process which has made this bold-hearted man the arbiter of his country's destinies. We can understand the position of his opponents. It is intelligible,-and from their,- point of view entitled. to respect; but so fstoss we can judge, the welfare of the United `States, in cluding in the account the interests of the negro race, is inseparably associated with the maintenance of those constitutional principles which, his message to Congress and his speech at Washington, so unan swerably expounded, and which the ascen dant party in Congress shows a perilous eagerness to ignore.

The insuperable difficulties are the immense- extent of the, country totally untraversed by. roads, the scarcity - food', .and the sparseness of - population. To compselaS' anarchy over so --vast a region would re- quire a great, army, since the difficulty of carnage mod the impossibility or obtaining;. , : , local supplies made it :hopeless , to replace - numbers by übignity. This army must consist chiefly of foreigner-a. The Mexhani portion of the Imperial army is 'defibient is 'two military qualities—eourage and loyalty Mexican officers take very kindly to,allthe pomps and pleasantness of war pay,sorunixis , titles and showy uniforms, but they are averse to personal longer, and very prone to betrayal and desertion, WhereMllCallB - really appear , willing to "pay with their per sons:is in attempts. at assassination. In such - enterprises they will occasionally in cur some lisle, Col. Larumbitle„chief of the staff to Gen. Melia and 'the divisional commandant of Mexican Artillery at Vit toria, attempted to murder the author of these papersan a manner which, though he was unarmed and unsuspecting in his own quarters, showed that they were not inca pable of actin - gin their own persons. The only shadow of motive for this attempt at assassination was jealousy of the Maxi= can officers- towards their French allies. The punishment for this irregularity was a month's arrest, but even this was remitted, and the would be murderer was shortly after appointed to the command of an Imperialist brigade. The worthless ness of the native military material is not compensated by enthusiasm or even good will on the part of the population. What , national feeling there is is against foreign ers and the cause which foreig,ners may happen to support. The Government of liaaailisu n.eglectedan opportunity when it -11 mud to invite-the co-operation and sympathy of the Indian population, not only the most numerous, but on the whole the moat hopeful section of Mexicans. Nearly , all the prominent Mexicans who are not entirely odious or contemptible are pure Indians. Zusrez himself an Indian, so is Almonto, so is the bravest of the Imperialist officers, Melia. This measure, the emancipation of the peon es which the Imperial Govern ment should have taken, has now been an nounced by the Jaarists, and Maximilian has thus sacrificed a source of strength. Anarchy in Mezio3, as war did under Wallenstein, maintains itself. To ask the people to be industrious or peaceable, is awing them to soeumulataprey for the rob ber and to offer their throats to the assassin. The only way not to be a victim is to victimize. The chief difference between the native partisans of the two faction is, twat the Imperiohats . ex ercise relations with more timidity and cir cumlocution. Why should a people desire peace when they do not value comfort,when they hardly .require food or shelter, when their real necessity's tot"acco? Is it reasona ble to expect conclusive results from mili tary operations in a country where the roads, so pompously traced odthe maps,can only be guessed at in practice here and there by hoof-marks where the ground is soft, or by the horses' skulls suspended from branches, which roughly represent mile stones, or rather league stones, where there happen to be trees? The Count de Keratry shows us that the succor afforded to the Republicans by America is, if less ostenta -haus, hardly less efficient than that given by France to the Imperialists. This is not solely a disinte rested sympathy with an idea—no idolatry 'of the Monroe doctrine--on the part of the United States. It is not pure love for repub licanism, but very warm love for some re-- publican provinces. On the aStli of April,: 1562, after the French repulse before Puebla, Juarez signed a treaty with Mr. Corwin, the Minister of the United States, by which two : provinces were ceded to thelatter country, as security for a loan which assuredly would never have been redeemed. Lastly, among the hopeless features of the struggle is the circumstance that the republican cause is not represented by any men of such eminence that their death or conversion to the cause of order would paralyze insur-. rection.. Cortinas, Mendez, Carbojel are not superior.to the base average of their follow ere. Corthias is only conspicuous for the impudence of his many treacheries.' Men, dez, it is true, though a signal cowardeven_ in Mexico, has a talent at organizinga foray.. On the other hand, the Imperialist cause oes not possess a single native soldier„eit, cept Mejia, who has shown the smallest ca-, pacify fora command, and very few -wit*, have not shown themselves deficient courage and doubtful in loyalty. :'Alto. gether, fudging by Count 'de Keratry's perience, it looks as if -We might • hope for peace and civilization'in Mexic67hen,the - 4.4 shall be no more Mexicumf.
