[My Dear Sir—When Mr. Gillespie o

were encamped on the northern shore of
the Greater 'l‘lamelli Lake. Snow was
ilalling steadily and heavily in the moun

lure had penetrated; in the east, and north.

gbarred our road; we had no provisions ;
[our animals were already leeble, and while
lany other way was open, I could not bring

the depressing influence exercised on the
ipeople by the loss ol our men, and the uri-‘
[promising appearance of tiling-l, ljudged it ;
llriexpedient to pursue ourjourney larthei't
[ln this direction, and determined to ie~
trace my fifth, and carry out the views
‘0! the gorerriinent by reaching the linritier
on the line ol the Colorado river. I had
ncarcely reached the lower Sacramento,
when Gen. Cautrn, then in the north (at
Sonnma, in the department of Sunonia.
north til the bay ol San Francisco, com.
ina'nded by Gen. Vallejo.) declared his
determination immediately to proceed n
:ainst me. and after defeating me to pro
ceed against the foreigners settled in the
country. for whose expulsion an order had
just been issued by the governor ot the
Calilorniaa. For these putpmes Castro
immediately assembled a lorce at the Mis
sion ol Santa Clara. a -trotig place. on ”It"
tiorthern shore ol the Franctscn buy. You
“ill remember how grossly outraged and
insulted We had already been by this ofli-i
cer; many iii my own camp. and through
out the country thought that I should not!
have retreated in March last. Ilelt hu

small requisition for such supplies as were
iridiapen-ably neceisaiy to leave the val
ley; and my annuals were now in such a
state that I could not get out ol the valley.
without reaching the country which lies
on the west ride of them In an entirely
destitute condition.
Having carelully examined my position.-
and loreseeing. I think, clearly. ALL the
consequences which may eventuate to me
lrom such a step, I determined to take
such active and anticipatory measures as
should seem to me most expedient to pro
tect my party and justtly my own charac
ter. 1 was well aware oi the grave re
sponsibility which I assumed. but [also
determined that haviug‘ouce decided to do
so, I would assume itand its consequen
ces lull, and entirely, and go through with
the business completely to the end. I re
gret that. by a sudden ern'ergency,l have
only an hour lor wiiting to all friends. and
that therefore lrotn the absence ofdetail,
‘ what I say to you will not be clearly on
dentood. Castro’s first measure was an
attempt to incite the Indian population of
1 the Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, and
the neighboring mountains, to burn the
crops ol the foreigners and otherwise pro
ceed immediately against them. These
Indians are extremely numerous. and the
succesa of his measure weuld have been
very destructive; but he'failed entirely.
0n the 6th ofJune [decided oi: the course
which ‘1 would pursue, and 'imm’edintely
concerted my operations with the loreign'
ers inhabiting the Sacramento valley. A
few days afterwards, one of Castro’s ufli-‘
cere. with a party of' 14 men. attempted
to pass a dreva of 200 horses lrotn Sono

with the'av'ow‘ed purpose at bringing troops
into the country, ‘ 0n the 11th. they were
surprised at daylight on the Common riv

attacked an advanced party oi twenty A.

Inuit ol two killed and two or three woun

was an unexpected check to the Caliiur

to detect our people Without firing a gun;
to beat out their brains with their “ lape

Before we arrived at that place. General
Castro had evacuated Santa Clara. which
he had been engaged in (undying, and with
a (cute of about 400 men and two pieces
of artillery, commenced his retreat upon
St.. John’s. a fortified post. having eight
pieces ofartillery. principally him. On
the evening of the 10th we were electrified
by the arrival of an express from Captain
Montgomery with intormaiion that Corn
Sloat had hoisted the flag at Yerba Boone,
and cant one to Sonoma, to be hoisted at
that place. One also was sent to the ot
ficer commanding at New "Helvetia. re
questing that it might be hoisted at his past.
Independence and the flag of the United
States are synonymous terms to the for
eigners here, [the northern. which in the
stronger part. particularly.] and according
ly I directed the flag to be hoisted with a
salute the next morning. The event pro
duced a great rejoicing among our people.
The next day l receivedlwexpress from

DEATH-BED OF AN INFIDEL
The writer of this was called about mid
day to visit a young man in the last mo
ments of life. He was a professed infidel.
and refueed any spiritual aid or the servi

th escene was truly awful—the young man
was dying—near the bed eat his widowed

hide his fears. and appear calm and collec

him towards me. Hie countenance was

years of age.

his mind to right reflection. He hid his

to alarm those in the room. After several
ineffectual attempts to get him into conver

Heated air has a tendency to rise. and
cold air rushes in to supply its place.—
Thus the heated air of the equatorial re
gions rises and gives place to a current
sent from the polar regions, which isa
‘proceu that serves to equalize the tem
perature of the world. But the polar
ieountriealying near the axis of the sphere.
the air lrom those regions has not receiv
ed so much motion as that about the equa
tor, or greater distance lrotn the axis.
wherefore it arrives at the equator. where
the motion at the earth In greater. ll it
had no motion before an east wind would
be the consequence. and the force of that
wind would be as the diflerence between
the motion oi the earth where the wind
came from. and that where it arrived ; but
then it has a motion to the south; for it
rushes into‘u vacum left by the air which
rises. ID that the wind will not be from
the east, but from the northeast; and the
number ol degrees north 0! the east from
which it will blow, will depend upon the
comparative lorce 0! air from the north. to
the difference between the earth's motion
at the equator and at the‘polar region from
whence the air comes. 'As there must be
a corresponding efflux from the equator
higher up. according to ‘thia theory the
wind should every where be north-east or
south-west, but it blows in diflerent direc
tions at different times and places, and
this probably depends on the variations in
