It give the clearest and fairest ac count of the peculiar advantages and disadvarl vantages of California aa a country to ttle and live in that we have met with. We have drawn attention to ann.e nf its statements by putting them in Italics. lie gives a plain and distinct account of that country, which will benefit those intending to emigrate, thither. BrAR Ritkr, California, April 10, 184G. Dkah Sir: I sit down to redeem my pro-mi.- to write after my arrival in this country. If the California fever should rage aa high as when I left, all information here will be gladly received. I shall try tn give an impartial ac count of the country, and its political situation, and embody as much information aa I cnn. First, then, the road from Independence to the foot of the California mountains, acorns the Rocky and Calumet mountains, is about aa good a road as that from St. Charlea to Colum bia, (Boon's Lick road,) and might, with a little wo. k, be made a good deal better. There is plenty of water and timber for cooking ; there is no place where water may not be had, at far thest every 23 miles. From (he sink of Mary's river about 80 miles Xofreth water, are several hot springs and salt springs. From where we ftnke Trucky's river to its head, (Trucky's lake,) at the foot of the California mountain, the road is rough and rocky, but perfectly safe From the lake to the top of the mountain, a bout 5 miles, the ascent ia very steep and rocky, but the last emigrants got their wagons over without breaking, by packing the load up the mountains. The descent on this aide is about 100 miles to the plains, 80 of that distance be ing very rough and hilly. Dut there is pro position among the foreigners who expect their friends from the States, to go and work on the road ; if so, we ehall make quite a passable road atalleventa. Outof the 2250 miles from Indo pendence, there is about 100 of bad road. Our party had no trouble from the Indiana, and the emigration had none, except the occasional loss af some of their stock and one man killed, and that by rushing on the Indians in a fight, for shooting the cattle. As there ia but one tavern or grocery store on the road, (Fort Hall,) I would advise persona coming to this country to provide themselves with plenty of provisions, flour, rice cheese, butter, lard and bacon. The face of the country. I can only de scribe the great valley of the Sacramento, from personal observation, and whatever I may say of the remainder ia (mm information. The valley ia about 300 miles long, from 1 tn 2(H) miles wide, crossed by tcvoral pretty large ri vers, many of them navigable to the foot of tho mountain; and from lhat up, tho water 'limbics (rom rock to rock, a Hording neither navigation nor valleys for cultivation. On all the rivers from the mountain to the mouth, there are large botton.s from one-half tn six miles wide, mostly alluvium, and of the most fertile character, co vered with grass and tho richest vegetation, with a skirt of trees near the stream, mostly oak, some buck-eye, box, elder and willow. The oaka grow very large, 4 to 7 fe in diame ter, but the trunka are very ahort, seldom more than 8 or 10 feet, and then it branchea into large limbs, good fur fire-wood, when seasoned, but poor timber for farming and building purpo ses. We make no fences, but use the ditch, which stands well, aa there is no rata from A pril to December to wash them. . The plaina, which form about three-fourths of the valley, are wholly untuiceplible of cvl- tivation,Jrom the fact that they arc wof only poor and barren, but the iry weather in Smm mrr would not permit a crop to be raised. They are covered now with small flowers and some bunch graaa, which makes good pasture until the rainy season acta in, though it ia entire ly dry by the 1st July. The population will forever be confined to the banks of the rivers. A gentleman present say, that the plain be tween here and the St. Wankine, are much more fertile, am! that very much of them may be watered and profitably cultivated. He thinks the lower part of Upper California much supe rior to the valley, but the difficulty of securing land and tho bad character of the Indians, have induced many of us to atop here. This coun try, taken together, i greatly inferior to the Western States, but those who get tituationa on the rivers, where they can easily irrigate the aoil. can do 200 per cent better than in Missouri. Irrigated lands here will produce from 40 to 60 bushels of Wheat to the acre ev ry year. There ia no fly, nor rust, nor rot and the only trouble ia to have moisture enough to make it head well. Tobacco, Cotton, Flax Potatoes, Beans, Peas, fee. grow finely, but not without watering. While on this subject. I will speak of the labor to be performed. farmer who is fitted with sufficient teama and fanning utensils, may employ as many Indiana aa he ploaacs.for nothing but their victuals, and BUM.

They are about hair as good as the ne groes in Missouri, with good looking after. So that a farmer, with a capital of 400 or 500 dot- ara, can raise and gather about aa much grain as the Missourian with 40 negroes.

J me umorr is a.iogemer in me mountains, which are covered with the most beautiful pine, fur and cedar, very tall and straight, but in most places very difficult to gel into the valley for use, from the fact that there is generally 15 nr "0 mill of hilis between the mountain and the valley, which make bad rnmla. Most of the houses here are built of adoblcs, or sticks set up endwise and daubed with mud, sometimes co vered with boards, and at others with tooly (btillrush). So far we have not had much ti.e for timber. The country below is supplied with timber from the red woods near the sea-const, which ia very good and beautiful timber, much like the rod cedar. Slock. Horses and cattle arc raised here without any feeding; even when we ride a horse, at any season, ho gets no other fond than what he can get of grass, staked out with a long rope; o that it requires no other trouble about horses and cattle, but to mark and brand them, and to break the cults when Urge enough to ride. The old settlers in this country, some of them, have several thousand head of cattle and horses. The prices of horses are from $20 to $Tj0, mares from $7 to ?20, cattle JS 50 to $15; American cattle and horses generally ire . . i about 25 per cent, higher than tho stock ofCali- fornia. Everything else is very high. Plows, such as we have in St. Louis at $7, are worth $35, and even $50, and very hard to gel at those prices; axes $5 ; spadea $5 to fG, scarce; cooking vessels about 30 cents per lb. ; all sort of iron tools or vessels very high; clothing of every description about five to six times what they cost in St. Louis ; common yarn socks $2 a pair. jjsunr is bifo nign; common nanua esi mi per t day; mechanics -2 to $3 ; mill-rights frt per day. So that although we pay hih for cloth- ing and all we want for use, yet we get high prices for labor and for what we raise. Wheal I is worth now $250 per bushel, usually $150; beans SI 50 ; peas $1 50 ; potatoes 50 cents per robe (25 lbs.) The climate ia pleasant, seldom any ice oc casional frost from December tn April. Up tn the 25th of December, the lime of our arrival, there had been no rain, and hut little frost, anil the weather was about as pleasant as usual in he Slates in September and October. The rain began Christmas day, and there was "orre ice. The rain usually falls for two or three lays, and then we have plestmnt weather. In week or two after llto rain set in, tho plains or high lands become what we call tasky, that s, a horse will sink in to his knees, and some times deeper, so that it is not practicable to tra vcl on horieback, except in the bottoms which remain firm all winter. Hut they are crossed by gulfs, which we must swim. Our travel is, therefore, confined to tho bottrns ; the high hills are impassable during the rain, except on toot. It may bo truly Said that there are but wo modea of travel here during the winter, that is, eithtrjly or swim. T he game is be- coming scarce, hut during the winter there are a great many water row I. 1 Hey lea vo in the spring for a more northern latitude, and do not stop lo breed here, as has been reported ; nor is it true that "you can gether a feather bed in i lay on Veathrr Iliver.n Musketries, flies und insects of every descrip tion are here in innHmcrable tnyriaJsfea and mice, but no chinches. Iands have been obtained by persons who have resided here some years and become cili - tens, in grants; some three, lour, and sometimes thirty to fifty leagues. Dut the Government has become alarmed and changed its policy. The a are but few can now obtain grants of any siz; and those who have lands are not authorized by their titles, to sell ; there being no such thing as fee simple titles except in a f.-w special in stances. The grant are only loans from the Government which is the main reason why the people live in tents or little shanties, and at the same time own aevcral thousand head of stock, They will not improve the lands until there is some security for the title. 1. would like to write you more at length, but my time and your patience admonish me to stop.

Fremont left his parly on the other side of the mountains and crossed with a few tii"n, and called on tho Governor for per- mission to bring them in, which was granted ; but when the company arrived, the Caotain was ordered out of the country forthwith. He remained to purchase supplies. Then the proclamation was issued and the Spaniards cm- bodied. Fremont wrote to our Consul st Mon terey for advice, and he, (Mr. I ark in,) a full- blooded Spaniard in feeling, advised him lo leave, which he did ; seeing that he must fight the whole force of California, without the countenance of the Consul, whose advice was dictated by hi private, interest entirely, and not by the honor of his country.

Na val Constructor, who has left us the 'Constitu tion' and 'United States,' the finest ships that graco tho ocean, aa monuments of bis skill These ships were planned by him and built in the year 1707; and, what ia remarkable at showing the cast and character of his mind, he had never seen a frigate when he planned them and yet he bit i It tho frigatea which to this day have never been surpassed, and which aro the pride of the nation. Indeed, the father of Col Humphreys, by his skill, may be said to have cfiected a complete revolution in the whole science of naval architecture, causing the old wooden wails' of England lo be replaced by vessels quite of another sort. Great Britain, finding that her ships could not compete with those modeled by him, haa since the war made the 'United Slates' and 'Constitution' the guide for her architects1.

The "Tralta Arnold." A writer in the New Haven Pelladium gives some of the closing incidents in tho life of Ihis remarkable man aa remarkable for his brave ry as his treachery which, thought not now, may bo interesting lo readers. The writer eaya: - The close of Arnold's ignominnus career wan characterised by the loss of caste and the re spect of every body. A succession of personal insults and pecuniary misfortunes fallowed lii-t treason, and deep abiding retribution was fully me,pd degraded culprit long be'oro tre died. An cldcry lady, of cultivated mind, reside in Massachusetts, whose early social intimacy with Arnold and his family, at St. Johns, New Drunewick, gave her peculiar opportunities for knowing many details concerning the close of his miserable career. Subsequent to the ter mination of the Revolutionary war, and after the perpetration of various atrocities against his countrymen, Arnold went to England ami received a commission in the Dritiah army. He was frowned upon by the officers, and eve ry where received with contempt, if not indig nation. Various public insults were offered to him, and in private life be was the objrcl ol perpetual scorn. Soon after, Arnold threw up his commission in the army in diegust, and removed to Si. Johns. He there engaged in the West India trade becoming as notorious for his depravity in business as he had been before false lo hi country ; his integrity was suspected at various times, and on one occasion during his sudden absence his store was consumed, upon which an insurance had been effected. Tho Company suspected foul play, and a legal contest was the result. During the trial popular odium against Arnold increased, and manifested itself by a succession of. mobs and the burning of him in effigy. During this painful scene bis family were greatly distressed, and the lady to whom allusion haa been made, and who resided near Arnold's house, was requested to go and pass) that trying interval of time with them. That request, in the fair hand-writing of Mrs. Arnold until recently was in my possession, as well as a copy of a satirical handbill describing Arnolda life, hundreds of which were circulated anion the populace during his tria'. Mrs. Arnold in her note says, 'the Generai ia himself to-day, meaning that ho bore the insults with his usual firmness; but she was alarmed herself, and wished for the presence of some female friend during the painful scene which followed. The proof wag not enough to condemn Ar nold, but there waa enough detected of foul piny to vitiate his policy.
