Everything; in those fine countries seems to be boasting and , 1 begg,ary. ;rveyystEling has been long sinking into ruin, through mere .indolence. The Californians once rnanufactpred the fleeces of their sheep into Cloth. They are now too lazy to weave or spin— too lazy even to clip and wash the raw material ; •-• and,nowthe . sheephive been literally destroyed to - M ' ake More zoom for the horned cattle.

Thus the emigrants from England to the northern colonies leaked to subsistence trom the fruits of labor—ploughed, harrowed, and grew. • rich and civilized. On the other hand, the colon.' lists' of e New France "—a name which compre. bonded the valleys of the - St. Lawrence and Alis sissippi—dwintiled and pined away, partly because the golden dreams of the free trade carried them a way from stationary pursuits, and partly because the government considered them rather as soldiers than settlers.. In like manner,' Spanish America, with its Suess of silver, holding out to every venturer the hope of earning his bread tvithout the sweat of his brow, became the paradise of idlers. Im.California, the herds of cattle, and the sale of theirehides and tallow;ofTer so easy a subsistence, that the population think of no other; and, in con .sequence, are poor, degenerate, and dwindling-- Their whole education consists -in bullock-hunting, In - this view, unjust and violent as may be the ag gressions of the American arms, it is difficult to re gret the transfer of the territory into any hands which will bring these fine countries into the gen - eral use of mankind, root out a race incapable of 4nm:dement, and fill the hills and valleys of this 'mighty'province with corn and man. At present, the produce of a bullock, in hide. 'tallow; and horns, is aboill five dollars. (the beet goes for nothing.) -of which the farmer's revenue . is averaged at a dollar and a. half, This often ; 'Makes up a large income.

In-the mission-garden Of San Gabriel were produc- ed grapes, , oranges, lemons, olives, figs, bananas, , plums, peaches, apples, pears, pomegranates, rasp berries, strawberries, &c., &c.; while in the adjoin ing .misSion straw__ found; in "addition, tobacco, the plantain, the cocoanut, the indigo plant, and the sug,ar-cane. But nature is nothing, in this country, without a miracle; and the history of every village•Ptoba. bably furnishes its legend. Thimissionshowever, may bu presumed to be the-peculiar favorites of Heaven. When Padre Pedro Cambon end Padre Soinera were selecting a site. for - the, mission, escorted by ten soldiers, a inultitude of Indians; armed, preient ed theniselves, and, setting up horrid yells, seemed determined to oppose its establishment. .The fatherS,'fenring that war Would ensue, took out a piece of cloth with the image of Our Lady Upon it and.held ,it up•in view of the barbarians. This , was no sooner done than the whole were quiet, be ing subdued by the sight of this most predious image ; and throwing on the ground their bows • and arrows,,their two captains: came running to lay the beads width they had round their necks at at the feet of the sovereign queen, in proof of their tender regard." : We recommend the trial of this holy cloth to General Tuylor. . It must he acknowledged that the monks • had !made a handsome afiltir of- holiness in the good old times. Previously to the Mexican revolution, !their "missions" amounted, in tile-tipper pro Vince jalone, to twenty-one; every one, of course, with its !endowment on aehowy scale Every monk had tin anual stipend n four bundled dollars., But this was lucre pocket money; they bad ;donations and bequeits,' from the living and from,the dead---a most capacious source of opulence,.and of an lapu lence continually grossing—constituting what Was termed the pious fund of California. Besidei t all these things, they had the cheap labor of eighteen thousand converts. But the drones were to be !suddenly smoked out of their hives. Mexico :de clared itself a republic; and as the first act of a republic, in' every part of the world, is to plunder [ everybody, the property of the mbuks went in the natural way.• The lands and beeves, the "donations and bequests, were made a national property " in 1523. Still some show of moderation was exhib ited, and the names and some of ,the offices of the missions were preserved: But, in ISA, the Cali• fornians took the whole JAhirinto their own hands, 1 threw °lithe central government, and were 'free, 1 independent,'" and beggared. The missions were secularized" at their ease. The Mexican govern meht was fungus for a while, mid threatened the Californians with all the thunders of its rage ;dam 1 the verizeance ended, in the simple condition, that California should still acknowledge the Mexican supremacy, taking her OWs way in all that had been done, was doing. and was to be done. The travellers had now an opportunity of seeing 1 the interior of a Californian mansion, the house of thechief proprietorin this quarter, GenerarTallego. 1 • • • • •• • The next subject of description is _Monterey, which has lately assumed a peculiar interest, as ' one of the objects of the American invasion. The bay of Monterey limns a segment of a circle, with 'a chord of about. eighteen.. Miles. Alunterey had always been the seat2of :governMenr, though it consisted of but a few , biriblings. But, since the revolution of It:30; it pi's expanded into a pup ulation of about seven hundred souls. The town oitcu, is a plain: bounded-by a lofty ridge. The dwellings are the reVerse of ponicgus, being all built oftnuil bricks. Thehoutes..are remarkable for a paucity of windows, glass being inordinately dear; event parchment almost unattainable, and the artists in window-making charging three dollars a day! I But, to the Californians, perhaps this privation of light is not an evil. While it makes the i rooms cooler, it cannot by any possibility, interfere !with the occupations of those who do nothing. The Led affords a curious contrast to the rest of the furniture. While the apartments exhibit a deal-tab!e, badly Made chairs, probably a Dutch clock, and an old looking-glass, the bed ‘ichalenges admiration by snowy-white sheets fringed with lace, a pile of ELM pillows covered with the finest linen or the richest satin, and a well arranged dra eery of costly:and tasteful curtains."

Five mills have been swept away on Black riser, among them the splendid •works of Mr. Spaulding, at the Falls, 'and Rlr. Douglesa below. The water rose :35 feet abuse the low water mark, carrying away 15,000.10g5, and half a million feet of lum ber.

The mill of Bass& Allen was moved from its foundation, and 10,000 logs from Yellow river were swept down the stream. The mill at the mouth of (Yelear river was destroyed, dam and all, and 10,000 logs gone with it. 25,000 logs were lost from the Chippewa, and a large amount of lumber. The entire loss-on the three rivers is estimated to be $250,000. From the mouth of the Chippewa, down fur a number, of miles, the logs were so thick that a steamboat could not have passed through them, and these with the lumber were scattered about on islands and bottoms for 950 miles. The river above is froth three to five, and even ten miles wide, extending from bluff to bluff. A large portion of the prairie here is over ilowed, though no material damage was done.

In an article contending for a/Protective Tariff, the Providence (R. I.) Journal uses the following language:— 4 , It is a matter of no importance to lte farmer what may be the price of his corn abroad, or what is the amount of his crop, so long as it will not pay for transportation to the sea-board. The man ho raises ten thousand bushels of corn is no richer than the man who raises one thousand. He cannot sell it at home, for every man' around him has more than he wants. He cannot send it abroad, 111 the value of it will not transport it to the coat. How is he to exchange his crop for the other anti• des of consumption which he requires, and how is he to accumulate any thing.? Yettrade is free.— He "has the world fora market;'' there are no duties upon the importation of his corn into other countries; none upon the importation of the pro ducts of other• countries sent back in exchange.— Every thing is free, and the corn rots upon his hands," The editor of the Journal surely needs to be en lightened on the subject of the agricultural pro ducts of a large portion of the West. He issurely ; not aware of the fact, that there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land in our country, annually ' , cultivated, which yield large crops of corn, so re mote from a market, that the farmers who raise it seldom, if ever, think of selling a bushel . 61 - that grain. Notwithstanding this, the owners of the ; land areire the enjoyment of as many comforts, and are as steadily progressing in the accumulation of wealth, as those 'of almost any other part of the country. The.), find that wheat, rye, barley, and sometimes oats, can be raised, and takerrto market, even at very low prices. so as to afford a profit ; , and that, if corn will not-bear the expense of trans. portation, at probably:no More than 15 or IS cents I a bushel; it may be fed to hogs andf attle_ at that !price, and'. thus bring in a Prat - ablereturn. If therefore, the larmer cannot being to market' his ten thousand or even one thousand bushels of corn, hIS can drive to market his' ten, or 'twenty, or per haps fifty heal! of cattle, or his fifty'or one hundre.l hogs; and, in this way, not only," exchange his crop lisr the otispr articles of consumption which he mg:tires ;" but he may bring home the cash.; , with which to increase his real estate, or matte 'such improvements as he sees fit; and thus add to his own wealth and that of his neighbors. The cattle and-hogs which ha.has, driven to mar ket, wertkiiiiikt,'ltecause his corn was not wanted for the consumption of his family or neighbors; and f vale become a part of the produce for expOrt trade—other nations want them -4. he h.-2, _the world for his market "—and under the wholesome regulations of free trade,that which is nol'required at borne, may be profitably sent abroad. Ile finds, that not only upon his corn, but npon his wheat, his beef and pork, other nations will not exact oner ous duties. lie wants articles which they produce; and, to the extent to which he wants their produce, it is received in exchange for his own. In proportion to the amount of their productions which he takes, will be the demand for that which he has to sell; and if his government is equally liberal—if free trade doctrines prevail in his country, he is encour aged to take articles in exchange, to the MlL:extent of the probable demand for them where he lives. Thus, each party is better provided for;-the im• porter is induced to buy largely; the exporter to take freely in exchange; and both parties are brought upon terais of a more social and friendly charac. ter. The speculator, who stores his tens of thous ands of-bushels of grain, in the hope of better pri ces under a protective tariff, may find his torn rot• ring upon his hands; but the industrious and en• terprising farmer, under a liberal system of corn mercial intercourse, will never find his granaries full, for a sufficiently long, period to admit of his sustaining any material loss.. By this time it must be apparent to every in. telligent observer of passing events, that the'new born zeal of a portion of the federal party, in be half of Gen. Taylor as a candidate for the Presi dency, was shallow, sheer hypocrisy. The leaders of that party having rendered themselves obnox ious, in consequence of their treasonable opposition to their country's war, endeavored to make a thow of patriotism by lavishing adulation and heaping favors upon the hero of the war, hoping thereby to redeem their lost political character before the country. They used every effort in their power to make it appear that General Taylor was a federal whig, and endeavored to bring him before the country as their candidate for the Presidency. The public know the result of this "party trhenze" of the federalists. Gen. TAYLOR utterly refused to identify himself with the anti-war federalists, or, become the dupe of their base designs. We now find that the more candid portion of the federal party—those who contend for the adoption of certain measures, such as a National Bank and the like—are looking out for a man - who is a a whig and nothing buta whig," as their Presiden tial candidate. Gen. TAYLOR has been abandoned! lie is entirely too honest "and patriotic to-suit the views of the great body of the federal party. The Steubenville Herald, one of the leading opposithin prints in the eastern part of Ohio, speaks out as follows : We have heard a large number.,Rf genuine Whigs, within the last few weeks, express a deci ded preference for Henry Clay for President, over all others. If no other,mairean be suggested {rho can unite the party, We are certain Mr. Clay cars. He has their anti :e confidence, and though he may I not be as available as some others, if nominated, he would rally around him a party at once formi dable enough to excite the opposition of alit the blackguards in the Union, which, by the way, is strong evidence that he is a great and worthy man. If Mr. Clay should be the candidate, the wtsigs will know for wham and for what they are voting. Can the friends ofrome - ol the other candidates say asmuch?" When it is Temembeted that the Herald, not long Since was afflicted withihe Taylor fever, this. pars graph must he taken as ominous of the futnre colirse of the Fideral-party. _ • The' OhlO - .Tournat,_ the ''Centra..l ‘ .9.mg o ICE .Z.be. - Pttili,:-ATigriii:o:4-:' - i.V.O - t: L.; .

Tehoma; a single . disttict inhabited by the Nestm rians, and two small districts, occupied principal ly by Koords, were laid waste in August last, in consequence of their having resisted the authority of Bediar [Chan •Bey, , their chief.
