ENLARGEATENT OF THE JOURNAL
At the commencement of our new volume in January
next. It is our intention to enlarge the dimensions of
the Miners' Journal, and Introduce various other :the!.
ations and improvements, with the view of increasing
our space for news-matter, and affording additional fa
cilities for our increasing advertising patronage.
We shall atranOlie enlargement in such manner as
to preserve the present shape of the paper, and in
troduce three or four columns of additional space. We
will thes furnish more matter, than is provided by many
of the mammoth publications of the more populous
towns, and have Cone of their uncomfortableness of
shape.
Oar arrangements for furnishing the latest intelli
gence are ample and The Magnetic Tele
graph connecting this place with-all the leading Cities
in the Union, enables us in pro Cure important news to
the very latest moment. This is of course a very heavy
expense td us, and we may add that this is the only
Journal in this section of the State, that has engaged
Its services. ';The markets of New York, Philadelphia,
&c., are reported to within a few hours of our going to
press, this placing as considerably in advance of the
regular publications of the cities.
The character of . Gm newspaper is, as a ge4sral
thing, a certain Index In the character orthe Maple

ment at a foreign court. the people are wont to esti

of our representative. , A newspaper abroad is-regarded,
as the representative of the people supporting it. •
The Miners' Journal has a very large circulation.
among the heavy capitalists of the larger cities, and is
looked upon as the immediate representative of the in
terests of this region. ;Aro. to resider this representa
tive werthy of the pnaition, is our object and should be
every citizens pride — for in proportion as the appear
ance and respectability of a journal is maintained
abroad, is the character of the people for intelligence,
and substantial integrity established. '
NEWSPAPER POSTAGE
At the suggestion of the Postmaster General,
Congress last Winter repealed the clause allowing
newspapers to pass through the mails within a
circuit of 30 miles from the place of Publication;
and agaiii subjected them to postage, as before.—
Although that clause was defective in one respect,
it should not in out opinion, have been altogether
laid aside: The publishers in the frivolous, cities
have their subscribers near at hand, and can de
liver their papers at their doors.. They, exercise
numerous other advantages over the country press,
end for some years past have been surfeiting the
country post:Offices with their papers, and getting
rich from the patronage they receive from them.
They frequently transfer matter; after it has been
used in a daily par Per, info their weekly journals,and
perhaps before the type are distributed they are
used for twoor three different newspapers. The
resulkis, that theY arc enabled to 'furnish papers
trpon:cheaper rates than country-publishers, who
can use their matter but once, and are subject to
innumerable difficulties unknown to other pub
lishers.
This system we have ever regarded as unjust
and calls-in the loudest tones for reform. The
people in the country are just as deeply interest
'ed in having good newspapers in their midst, as
are the citizens of the more bopulcos towns; and
'it is no less due them than to country publishers
themselves, that some arrangeMent, by which com
petition would be open to both alike, should
be adopted by the Post Office Department. •
There:is a movement on foot now, on the part
of the country-press, asking certain alterations in
the existing Post-office regulations, a principal
feature of which is, 'that allirreaspapers be allow
ed to pass postage-free, through the Pust-offices
within the counties in which they- arerespectively
published.
.
We are highly favorable to this plan, and in.
deed, will not consider ourselves at liberty to sup
port.any candidate. for Congress, who will oppose
himself to the measure, when properly brought be
fore him. This is a firm stand—' but the 'lime has
come when we must be true to our interests, and
we would advise all our Country_friecds, who have
Ina already done so, to assume a similar broad
position, and stand by ,
Congress will assemble next Monday'
There will be two or three ,r Vhig memberi of the
Houire absent, and three or four Locofocos. The

Stated, has expressed his determination not to abide
the caucus nominee for clerk, but is understood to
he favorable to Mr. French, a•locofrico, and the
former incumbent. For Speaker it is not known
with confidence upon whom the choice will fall.
The President's Message will in all probability
be sent in an•Tnesday, and may. possibly, reach

the public immediately upon its appearance, and

LETTER FROM 001.. WYBROOP.
- Careen or. Pouter, Sept. 0,1841...
My Dear Sir: —Raving a little leisure ftom my daily
occupations, and remembering warmly and fl eshly ter,
eial ads of kindnelialowanis me, It glres me pleasure
to address; knowing that you entertain some interest
for my welfare. lam now incommand of this military
department, and apt kept quite busy with "continual
skirmishes with Guerrillas, and an occasional sharp
tight with large force, that gather between here and
the coast, in order to oppose trains. The - health-of
my garrison is goof!, and I have,bopes that the great
mortality which has existed in the army is decreasing.
This is a bard, laborious, and precarious" service.—
Many of our best men have died, and I truly consider
the climate in itself a much more formidable enemy
than the Mexican. A noble and self-denying spirit or
eridumnce tictintes the ruen.and complaint of any kind
is rare. Contented to do their duty, they risk every
thing in did_ effort, and with a cheerfulness which is
gratifying to those who command, step UP readily to
any work, no matter what the chances. It is, as I have
before remarked, a hard service, full of toil, privations
and danger—but it is willingly encountered and brave
ly endured: Judge, then, of the effect upon our good
men here, When they look back over the distance which
separates from their friends, in an effort to find at home
some proper appreciation of their selTeacrilicing con,
duct i It is bitter andlumiliating. I tell you, sir, there
is a spirit abroad among the 000 D Americans engaged
in this war, which will not sleep, during futurity—a
spiiit which awaits but their return to thunder down
upon the mouthing, scribbling' sycophants of a most
unjust party, the full measure of an honest indignation.
It is the same that brooded overourland during the war
of the.' Revolution,entrthrlast war ; and men of the
present day, pal ed with age, have lived to curse, with
.)
tears of repents ce, the hour when she, with scornful
finger, marked t em for life as the TORTES of their coun
try. WeotERE can see no difference . between the men
• who in 'TB suet red the British, and those who in '4l
gave arguments and sympathy to the iiTexicans. This
kind of language from a man who came into this cam
paign a Whig in alley, may sound strange to yon, but
I have again an again been. compelled to listen to and
to suffer that wh ch would have changed the disposition
and alienated th affections of the most determined par
tisan. Even now,l do not object to the leading and
main principles of my old party, so much as I curse and
deprecate the tone of its acknowledged leaders and
supporters. If there in any reason which will prevent
General Score from effecting an honorable peace, com
manding, as he does, the whole city of the Aztecs, With
his powerful battery, it la the spirit of treason which I
unhesitatingly say is promulted by the leading Whig
journals at home. In a sortie noon some !adroit - es of
Jalapa, a short time since; I possessed myself of all the
late newspapers published In that place, And upon ex
amining them I find that in that place, same as in
Mexico, the strongest arguments published against
our army are selections from Whig papers in the Unit
ed States. -I send you a late copy of the "Batman de
Noticias," In which you will perceive that the ar
ticle is an extract front the National intelligencer. •
• ' Your friend, 'E. M. WYNKOOP.
You may publish this if, you please. I have become
so'disgustecl with what I have seen, that I have no care
for the consequences Which this kind of truth may pro
duce.
The above letter waY addressed to Francis W.
Hughes. Esq. of this Borough. who aware that it
could excite little attention where the writer is so
well-known, and notwithstanding ihtit- there are
several locofoco journals published in our county,
in any of which it could doubtless more . appro.
priitely' have appeared—forwarded it to the Phil.
adelphia Pennaglcanian for publication, liom
which paper we extract it. r
If the letter had not appeared - abpcad, we do
not think we should have felt called - upon thus to
refer to it;—but, as usual, the locofocos from
the Washington Union down, bail it as something
extraordinary—and if it had emanated from any
other prrson, we should perhaps be :the last to
dispute its claims as such, and could scarcely de
ny them the boon of making whatever capital out
of it they could—especially ae they begin to need
it very much. But, unfortunately, the writer is
one orthose from whoin little is expected—arid
the consequence is, his friends are very rarely die
appointed. His political sentiments neverengag
ed more weight than that for which they could be
bought; and - his repeated vacillations from one
thing to , another, and his irregular movements with
parties and 'factions, if they did not altdgether de
stroy the little principle he ever r4t least de
stroyed the confidence of his "friends its him. If,
therefore, his political sentiments were ever referred
to, it was in the manner we now propose—not
what they were, but what they were worth; for
as to determining with any certainty what they
were, the most cmnstant observer could not point
out his course, and tell
Whether the snake that made the track
Was going forth or coming back.:
That he was a Whig, however, or that he preten
ded to be a Whig when he left this place to join
the Regiment which be now commands, we feel
bound to deny, and thafin the most emphatic and

thing like a Whig. It is true that he commen
ced the publication of 'a paper in this borough,
with the pretext of advOcating the Whig faith;
but having been somewhat disappointed in the
high expectations entertained in its establishment,.
it was not' long before it became violently abusive
of some of the most prominentpersons connected
with that party and even , of the measures advo
cated by them. Its tone, was soon after ''changed
altogether--and it no longer professed to be de
voted to the Whig cause, but it boldly unfurled
the Native American flag, and for some time after
continued in the service of that patty. During
all its career, it scarcely ever recognized the Whig
party, unless to pour out abuse and wrath upon
sante of its men and measurer.
had been but a few months previously to his
setting forth for Mexico, that some half-dozen per- .
so i ns of this di.trict, placed him in nomina
iihn as the candidate - of the Native American
party for Congres.s. He accepted the nomination,
not with the remotest idea - of being successful,
but with the avowed object of .defeating the regu
iar Wbig candidate and effecting the election of a
i iocofoco—thus indicating' his _ love for the Whig
principles, and his gratitude to one of the best
friends he ever had !.
Col. W„ left here in .the spirit of adventure, for
1 which his past career had - fully prepared him.—
We, however, have nothi g to urge as respects
his military p'osition, and when. we say that the
taijoct Of this letter is perfectly well comprehended
by his friends in this Borough, we have said all
That is required. As a Whigove may congratu
late the party that he no longer rays claim upon
it; and the locofocos . may embrace him in the full
assurance that whatever his principles may be*
they are well' suited to his - general character, and
afford ample material for a modern Democrat.
=While the Colonel is ebseat in the servy:e.of
hie country, we will forbear replying to that portion
of ibe letter charging the Whigs with being Tories,
du. We repeat, weWould scarcely have noticed
the letter, bad it not been boldly proclaimed by
the Priinsylvanian, in commenting on that
he was a Whig.
The NatiOnal Intelligenter thus alludes to the
publication'of the letter in the
_Union:
" The Goveniment paper has transferred to its col
umns a fetter purportingto be from an officer of the rank
of Colonel
.in the army now in Mexico, for no purpose,
that we Can perceive, so far as that paper is concerned,
but to furnish to its readers evidence of the malignity
of the administration and its adherents towards the Na-
Urinal Intelligencer. We refrain from exposing our
sentiment of those military gentlemen who can find no
better employment in Mexico than writing letters for
publication here, either with the idle thought of over
awing the press at home, or, still worse, but more pro
bable. with the expectation of propitiating the powers
that, be, in view of the probability of a new- creation,
one of these days, of Generals in the Army. We make
no war upon our fellow•citizens, of any grade, who are
absent from the country in the - military service. We
shall, therefore, not treat as it deserves the letter to
which we refer. It may come up at some future day.
It Is enough for the present—and, in that view, we con.
gratnlate the gallant Colonel upon the success of his
demonstration—that the PRISIID6NT has :stills /stow."

that "away down in Alabarni," the war fever is
on the decline. A meeting was recently held in
the city of Mobile, to fill up the ranks of a com.
pony proposed to be raised by a gallant Whig of
that city, but the patriotic speakers who- in times
past, bad poured out their eloquence as free as
its," in defence of the war and theadministration,
could not be found, and the meeting, as it dernier
resoit, called out a couple of Whigs, who hinted
upon the propriety of allowing old Kentucky to SII
up them five companies called for in that State,ob
serving that although their Locofoco friends were,
very good at making speeches, they ditnit like the
snail of the villainous gunpowder !" The
Mobile Advertiser intimates, broadly, that the
companies called for by the President, cannot be
raised in that State—end that the gleatmajority

THE GREAT FREMONT RIDE
THE CALIFORXMX HORSE.
Ride of Lieut. Col. Fremont, his friend Don Jesus (pro
nounced Haisoos) Pico, and his servant Jacob
Doason, from Los Ai:setae to Monterey
and back, in March, 1847.
The extraordinary ride of eight hundred miles
in eight days including all stoppages and near
two days' deteritiona whole day and' night at
Monterey, and nearly two half days at San Luis -
Obispo—having been brought into evidence before
the Army Court Martial now in session in this
city and .great desire being expressed by some
friends to know how the ride was made, I here.
' with send you the particulars, that you may pub.
lish them if you please in the National Inielligen
car as an incident connected with the timint and
ad - airs ueder review in the trial of which.you give
so full a report. The circumstances were first
got from Jacob, afterwards revised by Col. Fre
mont, and I draw themup from this. joint state,
ment. -The publication will show, beside the
horsemanship of the riders; the powers of the Cali
(civilian horse; especially as one of the horses was
subjected, in the course of the ride, to an extra
ordinary trial in order to exhibit - the capacity of
his race. Of coursethis ,statement will make
no, allusion to the objects of the journey, but be
confined strictly to an account of its performances.
In was at daybreak on the morning of the 22d
of March that the party set out from la Ciudad
de los Angelo. (the city of the Angels) ' in: the
southern part of Upper California, to. proceed in
the shortest time to Monterey, of the Pacific Ocean,
distant - full four hundred miles. The way is over
a mountainous country, much of it uninhabited,
with no other road than a trace, and many defiles.
to, pass, particularly the maratime defile of el Rin
con or Punto Gordo, fifteen miles in extent, made
by the jutting of a precipitous mountain into the
sea, and which can only be passed when the tide
is out and the sea calm, and even then in many
places through the waves.- The towns of Santa.,
Barbara and San Luis Obispo, and occasional ran
chos. are the principal inhabited places on the
route.—Each of the party had three horses, nine
in all, to take their turns under the saddle. The
six loose horses ran ahead, without bridle or hal
ter and required some attention to keep the track.
I When wanted for a change, say at distances of
twenty miles, they -were caught by the lasso,
thrown either by Don doses or. the servant Jacob,
who, though born and-raised in Washington,
his long expeditions with Col. Fremont, had be-I :
come as expert as a Mexican with the lasso, 'as'' .
sure as a mountaineer with the rifle, equal to ei- -
ther on horse or foot, and always a lad of courage
and fidelity. None of the horses were shod, that
being a practice unknown to' the' Californians.
The most usual gait was a sweeping gallop. The
first day they ran one . hundred and twenty-five passing the San Fernando mountain, the
defile of the Rincon, several other mountains. and
slept at the.hospitable rancho of. Don Tomas Rob
beris, beyond the town of Santa Barbara. The
only fatigde complained of in this day's ride was
in Jiicob's right arm, made tired in throwing the
lassoand using it an a whip to keep the loose hor
ses to the track.
The neit- day they made another one hundred
and twenty-five miles, passing the , formidable
mountain of San Barbara, and counting upon it
the skeletons of some fifty, horses, part of near
double that number which perished in the cross•
ing of that terrible mountain 'by the California
battalion on Christmas day, 1846, amidst a raging
tempest; and si_deluge of rain and cold, more kill- •
ing than that Of the Sierra Nevada, the day of
severest suffering, say Fremont and his men, that
they l bave ever4wssed. At sun set the party stop
ped to sup with the friendly Capt. Dana, and at
Mud at night San Luis Obispo was reached, the
home of Don /eine, and where an affectirug re
ception awaited Lieut. Col. Fremont, in canoe
quence of an incident which occurred there, that
hiskity, will one day record; and he was detained
till eleven o'clock in the morning receiving the
visit. of 'the inhabitants, (mother. and children
included,) taking a breakfast of honor, and wait
ing fora relief of fresh horses to be brought in
from the surrounding country. Here the nine
horses from los Angelo. Were left and eight others
taken in their place, and' a Spanish boy added hi
the party to assist in managing the loose horse..
Proceeding at the usual gait till 8 at night, and
having made some seventy miles, Don ;Jesus,
who had spent the night before with his, family
and friends, and probably with but little sleep, he- .
came fatigued, and proposed to halt for a few
honor. It was in this valley of the Salinas,-(Salt
river; called Buena Ventura in the old maps.)aed
the haunt of marauding Indians. For safety dur
ing their repose, the party turned off the trace, is
sued through* caw& into a thick wood, and laid
down, the home being put to grass at a abort dis
tance, with the Spanish boy in the saddle to watch,_
Sleep, when commented, was too s weet to be
easily given up; and it was half way between
midnight and dey, when the sleepers were afoul
ed by an estampedo among the horses and . the
calls of the boy. • The cause of the alarm'.was,
soon fatted ;• not Indians, but white bears—this
valley being their great resort,and the place where
-ColaF. end itdity.five of , hii men ' encountered
some hundred of them the summer before, killing
thirteen upon the ground. The character of these ,
bears is well known„ end the bravest hunteri do
not like to meet them without _the advantage
of numbers. On,discoveritis the imemyi Col. F.
felt far his pistols, but Don -Jesus' desired bim to
lie trial; saylig that !' people could scare hearse
end' immediately hollooed arthem in Spanish, and
thei went off. - --Bleep went, of also; end the re:
=very of the horses frightened by the bears •uild--
ing a rousing fire , milking breakfast ,Om the
hospitable supplies of San Louis Obiripo, • upied
the party till day-break; when the jon
resumed. Eighty miles and the afternoon brought
the party to Monterey.
The next day, in the afternoon, the party .set
out on their return, and two horses rode by Col.
F. fron, San Luis Obispo, being a present to .him
from [Don Jewel desired to make an experiment
of what one of them could do. They , were broth
ers, one a grass younger thaa-the other,' both•of
the same color, (cinnamon,) and hence celled el
carur/o or tat canalai, (Me cinnamon or the cin
namon') The elder was taken for the trial; and
the joOrney commenced upon him on leaving
Monterey, the riflemen& well advanced. Thirty
miles under the saddle done - that evening; - and the
party stopped for the night. In the morning the
.elder eanalo was again under the saddle for Col.
F., and for ninety miles he carried him without• a
change and without apparent fatigue. ' It was still
thirty miles to San Luis Obispo, where the night
was to be passed, and don Jesus insisted that ca
nal() could easily do it, and so said the horse by
his looks and action. But Col. F. would not put
him to trial, and, shifting the saddle to the young
er brother, the elder was turned loose to run the
remaining thirty miles without ii rider. De did so,
immediately taking the lead and keeping it all the
way, and 'entering San Luie in a sweeping gallop,
nostrils distended, snuffing the air, end neighing
with exultation at his return to his native pastures,
his younger brother all the while running at
the head of the horses under the saddle, bearing
on his bit.. and held in by his rider. The
.whole
eight horses made their one hundred and twenty
miles each that day, (after thirty the evening tie
fore,) the elder cinnamon making ninety of , his
under the saddle that day, besides thirty under the
saddle the evening before ; nor was there the least
doubt that he would have done the whole distance
in the same time if he had continued under the
saddle.
After a hospitable detention of another half day
at San Luis Obispo, the party set out for Lot An
gelus on the same nine horses which they had
rode to that place, and made the ride brick in about
the same time they had made it up, namely, at
the-rate of 125 miles a day. , •
On this ride thegrass on the.road was the food
for the horses. At Mohterey they had barley;
.
but these horses, meaning those trained and 'do
mesticated as.the canalos were, eat . almost any
thing in the way of vegetable food, or even drink,
that their master uses. 'Py whom they are petted
asid caressed, and rarely sold. Bread, fruits, 'su
gar, coffe, and even wine, (like : the Persian
horse,) they take from the hand of their master,
anti obey with like docility his slightest imitation:
A tap of the whtp on the saddle springs them in-
to action; the check of a thread rein (on the Span.
iota tit) would stop them ; and stopped short at
speed they do not jostle the rider or throw him
forward. They leap on anything, man, beast,
weapon, on which their master directs them: But
this description, so far as conduct and behavior era
concerned, of course; only applies to the trained
and domesticated home.

of that city saw in the streets.a lovely tittle girl of

with a view of relieving her and then said :

Swayne :—Dear r—Permit ts take tbellb
erty of writing to you at this time, to express my appro.
bation, and recommend to the attention of the heads of
families and others, your valuable medicine—your Coil:-
7mM Syrup of Prunus Veryiniana, or Wild Cherry
Bari. In my travels of lai e, I have seen in a great many
instances the wonderful effects of your Medicine, in re
lieving children of very obstinate complaints—such as
coughing,' wheezing, tholdng with phlegm, asthmatic,
attacks, &e. I should not have written this letter, how-
Mr, at present, althoagh T have felt it my dbty to add
my.testimony to it for some time, had it 'not been for a
late instance Where the medicine above alluded to was
instrumental in restoring to perfect health an "only
child," whose case was almost hopeless, in a family of
my acquaintance.
Beyond all doubt Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of
Wild Cherry is the most valuable medicine in this or
airy other country. lam certain 'have witnessed more
than one hundred cases where it has been attended with'
complete success. I have used it myself in an obsti
nate attack of the bronchitis, in whiCh it proved effectu
al in an exceedingly short time,considering the severity
of the case. I can recommend it in the fUllest confidence
of its superior virtues. I would • advise that no family
should be withont it; it is very pleasant, and always be
neficial, worth double, and often ten times its price. The
public are assured there is no quackery about it. -
