Rtita 1st Caltfer Mia, The National Intelligencer has the following account of the ride of Col. Fremont, which has been alluded to in the trial : ' ' ' It waa at daybreak on the 22d March, 1847, that Lieut Cut. Fremont, his friend Don Jesus (pronounced Haieoos) Pico, and his servant Ja cob Dodeon, eat out from Ia Cuidad le los Age- los(the city ef the Angela) in the southern part of Upper California, to proceed in the short est time to Monterey, otAhe Pacific ocean, dis tant lull four hundred miles.' The n ay is over a mountainous country, niuch of it uuinlmbitcd, with no other road than a trace, and ninny de files to pass, particularly the maritime defile of El Rincon, or Punto Gtdo, fifteen miles in ex tent, made by the jutting of a precipitous moon tain into theses, and which can only be pas sed when the tide ieout and the sea calm, and even then in many places through the waves. The towns of Rants Luis Ohiapn, and accsion al raiichw, are the principal inhabited places u the route. Each nt the party had three lioraes nine in all, to take their turns under the ssddlp, The six loose horses ran ahead, without bridln or halter, and required some attention to keep to the track. When wanted for a change, say at distance of twenty miles, they were caught by the lasso, thrown either by Don Jesus or the servant Jacob. None of the horses were shod. The usual gait wss a aweeping pal'op. The firet dsy they ran one hundred and twenty-five mile. The next day tbey made another one hundred and twenty-five miles, passing the for inidabte mountain of Santa Barbara, and count ing tipnn it the skeletons of aome fifty horse, part of near double that number which perished to the crossing of that terrible mountain by the California battalion on Chrislmss day, 1616, a midst a raging tempest and a deluge of rain and cold more killing than even the Sierra Nevada the day of severest suffi rirg, say Fremont and bis men, that they haaw At sunset the party stopped to sup with the friendly Capt Dana, and at nine at night, Sn Luis Obispo wss reached, the home of Don' Je sua, and where an affecting reception awaited Lieut. Cot Freemont, in coneeoieneo of an in cident which eecajrred there, that history will one day record ; end he waa detained till 11 o'clock in t!e morning receiving the visi s ot the inhabitants, (mothers and children included takings break fast ofhonor'ssaj waiting fur a relief of fneeh horses to be brought in from the surrounding country. Here the nine horse from Los Angeles were left, and eight others taken in their place, and a Spanish boy added to the party to assist in managing the loose hor eea. Proceeding at tire usual gait till 8 at nitflit, and hiving made some seventy miles, Don Je rus, who had spent the night before with his family and friends, and probably with but little sleep, became fatigued, aod proposed a ha I', for a few hours. It waa in the valley of the Salt naa, (Suit River, called Butnm YeiUurm in the old maps) and the hannt of marauding Indiana, For aafety during their repose, the party turned off the trace, issued through a eonaJa into thick wood, and laid down, the horses being put to grays at a short distance, with the Spanuli boy ti tbe aaddle to watch. Sleep, when coin me need, waa too sweet to be easily given up, and it waa half way between midnight and day when the sleeper were aroused by an eetampe do among the horses, and the calls of the boy. Thecsua of the alarm waa anon found not Indiana, but white bears this valley being their great jetort, and the place where Col. F and thirty five of liia men encountered some hundred of them the summer before, killing thirteen upon the ground. . The character of these bear a ia well known, and the bravest hun ters do not like to meet them without tlte ad van'age of number. On discovering the enq my, Col. F. felt for bia pistols, but Don Jesus desired him to lie still, saving that 'people could scare bears ;' and immediately hallooed at them in Spanish, and they went off. Sleep went fT also; and the recovery of the horses frightened by the bears, building a roaring tire, miking a breakfaet from the hospitable supplies of San Line Obispo, occupied the party till daybreak ; when the journey waa reeaiaiMtd. Eighty miles and the aftcrriooH brought," the party to Monte rey. The neat day, in the afternoon, 'be party set nut on their return, and the two horse rode by Col. F. from trt 'Iii Obirpo, bemg pre sent to him from Don Jesus, ho (Don Jes) de sired to make an experiment of'wttat one ot them could" da." They were brothers, one a grass younger than the other, both of the same color, (cinnamon.) and benct called el eunala or lot tenth, (the cinnaa , or t be "cinaia moua.) ' The elder weethen taken ror tbe trial; the journey commenced upon him at leaving Monterey, the afternoon well advanced. 1 ' " Thirty mites under tbe saddle done that eve ning and toe party stopped tor tbe night' Iu he mornvng the elder emnmlp was again under tbe saddle for Ct.

II Whole Wo, 3T5 nd Don Jesnr insisted fiat cannlo could easily do it, and so said the horte by his look and ac tion. But Colonel F. would not put him to the trill, and, shifting the saddle to the young er brother, the elder was turned loose to run the remaining thirty miles without a rider. He did an, immediately taking the lead and keep ing it all the way, and entering Sin Luis in a sweeping gallop, nuetrila distended, snuffing the air, and neighing with exultation at his return to his native pastures, his younger brother all the while running at the head of the horses un der the saddle, bearing on his bit, and held in j bv hia rider. ' The who'e eight horses made their one hun dred and twenty miles each day, (after thirty the evrning before) the older cinnamon making nii.ety miles of his under the raddle, that diy. besides thirty under the saddle the evening be fore; nor was there the least doubt that he would have done the whole distance in the same time, if he had continued tinder the saddle. Af ter a hospitable detention of another half day at San Luis Obispo, the party set out for Los An geti on the same nine horses which they had rode from that place, and made the ride back in about the same time they had made it tin; namely at the rate of 125 miles s day. On this ride the grass n the road was the food for the horses. Al Monterey they hod barley: but these horses, meaning thnae trained and domes ticated, as thecanalos were, eat almost anything in the way of vegetable food, or even drink, that tlieir master uses, by whom they are petted and caressed snd nrcly sold, flrend, fruits, sugar, coffee, and even wine (like the Persian horse) they take from the hand ol iheir master, and o bey with like docility, hia slightest intimation A tap of the whip on the saddle springs them into action ; the check of a thread rein (on the Spanish bit) would stop them nd slopped short at speed, tl.ey do not jtile the rider or throw him forward. They leap on any thing-man, b' art, or weapon, on which iheir master directs them. But this description, so far as conduct and behavior are concerned, of course, only ap plies to the-tra ned and domesticated horse. flow li Yankeaa make a Living;. A writer in the Billon Recorder, who has lately travelled through Connecticut, thus de scribee the way in which the people gain a live lihnrd: fleginnmg in the noriti western part of the State where, by the way, some of nature's true noblemen dwell we find many furnaces smelting down iron ore of the best quality, from thfir own mines, making each from two to three tons of pig iron per diem, and each consuming at a single blast of eleven niontha a million bu aheU of charcoal. Tliece is a shop manufactu ring some of the most delicate and beat cutlery ; and another making liue ai.cliori aod in ca bles for our navy, from iron wrought at their own puddling furnace.. Filteen miles eastward lie village of 1500 people, aituated at the outlet of a splendid sheet of water, which in its descent of 150 leet, carriea all needed machine ry. Here the auninees is sythe-making. Ano ther town is famous bar its brass kettles; an ar tide made nowhere else in the nation ; and lite trade of making which, il i raid, was stolen from England. Hard by, are two contiguous towns, made densely populous even on their rugged hill-sides, snd independently rich by the manufacture of brie clods. These in, Ices of the ordinary kind, co-ting from nine shillings to two dollar, are sold over the world at an ad vance of 500 or lUKI per cent. Cuming farther eastward into Hartford county, you find a gang of hands digging copper ore from the bowels of mot hor eanh. Then you enter a town of 1(100 people supported entirely by nuking axus. Fol lowing tbe FarotingWiB Uiver, ad pacing ma ny estahlndrmeota, you alight at a town of 1510 inhabitants, right in the gorge, where the river in it dahkig freak, like a lover without eyes, instead of making tta way easily aod honestly down to New Haven, breaks it way through theTalcott mountain lor toe purpose of making' train! with the Connecticut. These people are Scotchmen, making carpets. But this is only a part of the eetabliahnvent; the remain der is Incited ten er fifteen- raJe north east where ia found a community of 18fKr, from tbe earn' country, and engaged in like buainee.

But to return over to Connecticut river, for in our rspid flight we have already crowd it twice, and in making our wny into Tolland co , , we enter the region of cotton and woolen. And here, at the outlet of a beautiful lake, rendered memorable by the 'Life of poor Sarah,' who died on its banks, you must stop to see a village of 1200 people, grown up in the course of a dozen years, having some six or eight mills making eattinettsand the nicest enssimers in the coun try. In other sections of the county are furna ces, cotton and woolen mills, machine shops. Here, too, is a town, and it is our own dear 'Mantua,' with four or five silk factories, where the great part of yonr tailors obtain their ttvA'tan sewing silk and twist . Here the screw-angnr was invented. Out time will fail to spook ef ill. Hird by, in Windham county, is a population of 1800, miking cotton cloth. In the eastern part of the county, in the valley of a eingla stream, in the space of twenty miles, are at tenst twelve cotton factory villages. In New Ixm don county is manufactured India-rubber in a variety of forms. In Norwich, woollen and cotton milla abound. And here one sirrgte pa per mill, tbe owner informed me, made&fiO, 000 worth of pa per per annum. New Iuidun and Rlonirgton ire growing rich out of the whale fishery, Lyme, situated at the mouth of the Connecticut, furnishes sea captains for the Lon don and Liverpool packets, ind seainnao man their yards. Sailing tip that river, rw filled with seines for shid, you pass a quarry of free stone. Then you enter a shop, a branch of a large establishment located in M eriden, which monopulizca the whole business, of manufactu ring ivory. Here you find ivory comb, piano, forte beys, umbrella tips, dice, and all kinds of ornamental wori made of elephinl's teks. Then you need not smile at veritable esta blishment (or making patent ink Blinds, employ ing thirty men. Next you will find a shop tur ning out axe helves, next a screw factory. Then you pass, on the bank of therivcr,'enother quar ry, a rich vein of gneiss, spi tting about as rea dily as chesnut timber, a vein about twenty rods wide, from whence have been sent vaM quanti ties of stone, to various parts of the Union and to the Wert Indies. And thou another quarry of red sandstone, employing 300 Irndwien and their overseers. 1 bid almost forgoMon whole town, made rich by the minufaclureot 1I kinds of bells, each m sleigh, horse, clock nd cow bella.
