abounding in game, and but little infested with

.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

we think, up here on the earth's surface, in the
cheerful light of day—about the markets, the ex

Dreadful Conflagration—Five Blocks
and Twenty Stores in Millis.
[Fro, the Rochester Union, Aug'. 78 J '
Oar city has been visited by a dreadful calami
ty, and a large district in one of, our business can
ttekbas been laid in ruins by fire. Prom eleven
o'clock lest night until daylight this morning the
devouring element _held- sway, and AM not - sub-deed until every building on. the south aide of
Main street, from Stone to St. Paul street. had.
been destroyed, together with all the stares on the
east side of South St. Paul street to BuoichmtPs
Block, including a number of buildings on Miner
‘va alley. The wall-known Minerva Stook, and
the Third Presbyterian Ohurob, aro among the
buildings totally destroyed The fi re may be
- said to have fairly spent itself without resistance,
for it burned until it readied walls which offered
nothing of a combustible nature.
Our celebration of the Atlantis Telegraph has
boon en expensive one to Rochester, and has been
attended by a calamity long to be remembered.
On Moiday night, when the massage woe receive 1,
the bells were rung, and a jubilee followed im
promptu. • The firemen and citizens had scarcely
retired. before a fire broke out on Water street,
which destroyed some 325 000 worth of property;
The fatigues of the evening ineutpacitated the fire
men from labor there, and the loss was therefore
greater in consequence. 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.

The building in which the fire originated isused
for dyeing woollen and cotton goods. The first

J. G. Garlick & Bons by whom it was used for the

at flO,OOO. They have an insurance only to the

The fire originated in one of the upper stories of
the dyeing establishment, and spread with re
markable rapidity, owing -to the prevalence of a
high wind at the time, and the combustible nature
of the material stored in them, consisting of cot
ton and woollen yarns, &o. The oircumetances
attending the origin of the fire have not been do•
voloped, but it-is supposed an investigation will
show it to have been the result of oarelessnees.

The Bethel Bank Robbery--Recovery of
$60,000 of the Stolen Money.
[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. ' ,
