On the entire rood, until our arrival .at the Mohave villages, we did not see, in all; over a dozen Indiana, and those of a timid and inoffensive character. At the point, of, the crossing of the Colorado, grain, vegetables, and breadstuirs may be obtained in any quantity frotnhe Indians, who cultivate extensively, though rudely, the fertile bottom lands of the Colorado. It is paraablo alike In winter and summer. • These are the advantages which I claim for the road, which we , have dis covered, marked, and explored, from New Moak* to this State.. ' u From the : Colorado end to the settlements, the country has been surveyed and mapped by the United States surveyor of this State, which, apart from the fact that it doei not come within my in. struotioni, leaves me but little. to say in relation to it. I shall mention, then. only one important faet—that it leaves to the option of the emigrant the choice of entering California either at the city of Dos Angeles, by the regularly travelled road, in the - most fertile parrof the southern portion of the State, or turning off from that river, and by en easy road,freenently travelled, end coming into the head of the great Tulare valley, and by a good. road, , through settlements all the way, ex• tending to - Stookton, Sacramento, and •the more northern parte of the State." • The report concludes thus : '" A year in the dorms ended:. During this time I have con ducted my party from the Gulf of Mexico to the shores of the Pacific ocean, and.hack again to' the e astern terminas i of the road, through it' country for a great part entirely unknown, end:inhabited by hostile Indians, without the lose of a man. I have tested the'value of the camels, markeda new road to the Pacific, and travelled 4,1:00 miles with out an accident." • ~, The Most notable thing oonneotod, with this expedition is the use which it made of-camels as mooned' transportation. ' The entireaueeess of the _experiment" has been generally applauded;" and for this success the great regions of -New Mexico, Southern ,California, and the intervening ocnintry; are solely indebted to Mr. Beale. Be went to the accomplishment of his difficult tank with a oom "inebeneire mind. Re- did not confine himself alone to the mere running of the road, but he looked to' the valuable interests which were .00n earned in the experiment; and while the Govern.' ment have every reason to rejoice in the possession of this 'trainable officer, the trading community feel, .too, that they are indebted to him in no small degree. Already it is afoot to start camel trains from Ga./lob' sliver and gold regions of New Menlo() for the Gulf 4f California: It was at first believed that the camels wetild be useless where streams of water bad to be crossed. fil..llno; whose travels through Tartary, Thibet, and Chinttovith M. Sabot, and afterward through the Celestial Empire, are known to all who take an interest to Eastern oommer'ce, gave ground for the doubt. Mr. Beale, however, with much trot'. .ble, has overcome this difficulty, and reports that they.eirim with greater ease and more safety than either horaf4 or. mules So, then, their capabili ties for transportation over the extensive sandy stietedresbetweeti the Atlantic States,and the Pa oilie is un.faft aceompti.

Lest evening the formal celebration took place, in which all participated, and soon after retiring the alarm of fire was sounded; and the dreadful conflagration began. Again the firemen and citizens were lily prepared to meet it, end the fire did its worst. The fire originated anon after eleven o'clock in the livery stable of Heavey h McAnally, on Mt.. nerve ally. The flames quickly spread to the eastward,. northward, and westward. The Third Presbyterian Ohuroh on Main street speedily took, and was destroyed without a drop of water being thrown upon it. So was the brick block at the corner of Stone street, owned by Mr. Butte. The fire oonld go no farther east for want of material, but the three-story brick block next to the church, on the went, owned by John P. Bush, was already on fire, and was consumed. The large block next, wet of Minerva alley, and built in the same style as Minerva Block, soon caught fire, but for a time there was hope that it might be saved. This hope was soon dissipated, but as it was separated by a brick wall from Minerva Block, it was thought the latter might be saved. Here, too, all were distippointed—the fire lingered fora while at the wall, but when it passed, it rushed wildly to the work of devastation, and after laying this fine block in ruins, it passed southward along St. Paul street, till it bad destroyed some fifteen stores. The grand total by our figures stands $172,000, with a total insurance of 103,600. There are some small losses and insurances which we have proba bly omitted: This is by far the most destructive fire ever known in this city.

[From the New York Post of last *main ] A week ago, last Saturday or Sunday night, the Hatters' Bank, of Bethel, Conn., was robbed or $B6 000. The robbery was committed With so much adroitness that the officers were unable to obtain the slightest clue to the perpetrators. It was believed, however, that they were New Yorkers, as each mammoth enterprises, conducted with each eaution and success, are the work of " old beads." A roward of Ave per cent. was offered for the re turn of the money, and Mr. Walling. captain of the detective force of this oily, with Elder and McCord, two experienced officers under his com mand, took the matter in hand, and have followei It day and night with commendable perseverance and great success. They had not the faintest clue to the criminals, nor could they obtain any, and were obliged to work merely upon suspicion. Their first step was to weigh probabilities Having an extensive knowledge of the most adroit operators in the city, they decided that certain parties, whom we Khali not name, were more likely than other" to have committed such a crime with success. Oa this calculation they proceeded to track the suspected persons. This they have done night and day , frequently following them for great dis tances in stages, oars, and on foot. Two houses, known to be favorite resorts o` burglars and thieves, were closely watched, until it was found with certainty that these places were the head quarters of the suspected parties. A few days since they arrested two men on sue piolon, who give their namee as George Smith and James Farrell, but evidence could not be obt,eined sufficient to bold them for trial, and they wore ao cottitngly discharged. The officers, however, did not reiaitheir efforts, and still kept a vigilant watch upon the move ments of the supposed robbers. Capt. Walling resides at No 325 Second avenue, where he hires a partments of Wm. O'Donnell, who owns and occupies the house. Ahont nine o'clock lest evening, a man, appa rently much disguised, celled at O'Donnell's house, and inquired if Captain Walling lived there. Being answered in the affirmative, he asked if be was ie. Being told that he was notin. he handed Mr. O'Donnell a small black satchel' which be held in his hand, requested him to give it to the Captain when he arri ved, and immediate ly left Mr. O'Donnell keeps a public house in Third avenue, to which place he went soon after the above occurrence. Captain Walling, on his wry hems at a late hour, stopped for OvDonnell, sod the two walkedjmme together. The latter had ' soaroely thought, of the carpet bag shoe it was left, but as they entered the hem, it occurred to him and he mentioned it. The Captain thought it singular, and the two, with a brother of O'Donnell, details:tined to examine it at once. It was suggest. `ad Might be an infernal machine for the qaptain's destruction, and it was accordingly opened with caution. . Upon opening the bag,tit was found to contain a large quantity of the bills which had been stolen from the Hatters Bank. The Captain took possession of the fends so un expectedly obtained, and this morning brought it down to the Deputy Superintendent's office. The money was done up in three packages ; the bills, however, were not assorted, and when our reporter loft bad not all been counted. It was estimated, however, that, there was at least sixty thousand dollars. Mr. Greenwood, of Barnum's Museum, who hss several friends connected with the bank, this fore noon went to Bethel to inform the, officers of the discovery and get the cashier. The satchel contained nothing but the money. It is supposed that the robbers, finding' them selves closely watched, and not daring to nse the money, oonoluded to return a portion of it. It appears, however, that they retained hand some sum of $4,000.
