for which reason we can make no progress at all

in the right direction. But when we add to

this the fact that we sometimes lay 12 hours without making 5 miles progress in any direction, it becomes, to the discontented spirits on board onr ship, almost intolerable. We have now been out 36 days from Toboga 3S from Panama and a fair prospect for 15 or 20 yet in all probability more. We are now, at the end of three months, about 1500 miles from San Francisco nearly as far as we were the day we started. But this distance could we have favorable wind, would soon van-

have to travel about 8 degrees north and 5 etst,

yet; and that too against a strong head wind.

This has, in fact been our misfortune, ever

since I started. I have often wondered to myself if it can be possible that sea-faring men never have any favorable winds, but always ex-

' perlence this kiud of adversity; thus putting to

shame the old saying: "It is an ill wind that blows no one good." We have now been out

from Panama 51 days, and I was told by the!

to attend. Resolved, That the Committee of Arrange-, tnents be requested t i meet un Thnrs ?hv the 27th inst , at Mt Curroel, at 2 o'clock P. M. Resolved.

While I have nothing in the way of incident to write, there are one or two matters of collateral Interest I would notice; one of which I should have noticed while at Panama. I have reference to a trick being played off by the agents of Aspinwald &. Co., in regard to the sale of tickets for the steamers to San Francisco

j Ilnwland &. Aspinwald send a quantity of tick- ' ets to their agents at Panama, (Zachrlsson, . Nelson & Co.,) every month. But until re

cently it has always been a matter of wonder !

mate to-day, that if the wind does not change, we cannot expect to reach San Francisco short of 15 or 20 days yet. Ills said that we have

i but 5 more day's bread, and about 13 day's wa

ter. If, therefore, we find we have to remain 20 or 30 days yet, we will be nnder the necessity of putting into land at the nearest or most favorable point. We have plenty of flour and other provisions; bnt the ship does not possess conveniences by which bread could possibly be baked for the number of persons on board. Gambling again. During the last ten days, it seems as If some of the passengers have run perfectly crazy about gambling. From sunrise to sunset, there has at no time been less than 4, and generally 6, tables, (made ef trunk, and boxes,) for gambling, and they have been kept constantly bus During one day of this time, I have seen more gambling than I have seen in all my life, previous to coming on this vesselmore, I hope, than I shall ever see again, after I leave it.

Besides, the slopes faciog the water are destitute of trees, and to all appearance, destitute of vegf tation of any kind. The level or high lands, are covered with a heavy growth of timber, with

here and there a barren spot, covered with naked rocks glistening in the sun light like silver. The contrast between yesterday and to-d?y

is great. To-day, people are flourishing around in their shirt sleeves, the sun being comfortably warm. All hands are shaving, changing shirts, hunting lice, &c.,in as good a humor as though they were accustomed to such employments.

our fights, the past week, hava not exceeded seven, one a day which is moderate. It is disgusting to a man of peaceable and moral habits to be compelled to remain among such a crowd, without any possible mean, of avoiding it, for so long a time. When at home, no matter how many each may be in the same community, we can go home, or some where else, to avoid the sight and society of such things, but here we are bound to witness it, aud no escape. All along, and until within a few days, it has appeared that the contemplation of a trip to California was a kiud of chimera of the brainf something Immaginable something impossible. But now it is becoming a reality. California is in sight it lay. before us something real composed of rocks, and hills, and valleys, and trees, something like what we have seen before. Fidav, April 26. Ws arrived in port and came to anchor yesterday evening at 5 o'clock. I went ashore and stayed in San Francisco, but we were not allowed to take our baggage, for which reason, we all had to return, and are

here yet at 12 o'clock. This is an expensive , business this going to California. We have to j pay one dollar for being rowed ashore and anoth-,

reflect sericutly upon the present state of iiffair without serious forebodings. The words cf warning, which the Father of his Country has written iu letters of gold for our instruction, now stand forth in all their mysterious depth of meaning, and they should be heard and heeded. The pride of opinion aad the success of political schemes, may lead statesmen too far in times of excitement. The people, the patriotic people of both sections, shouU extend the hand of fellowship to each other, aad speak cut to their public servants in tones which cannot be misunderstood, and must.be obeyed. The Compromise will pass the Senate, but within the last twenty-four hours changes have taken place, aud it is totally impossible to tell what underplot the next t-enty-four hour' may bring. Under such circumstances, I confess I am entirely at sea with reference to the

'result. The Democrats are very uncertain peo-

; pie. If the South cannot support Geu. Taylor, ! I think it will find it a little difficult to follow

these Democrats, who are, curiously enough, supporting the compromise with so much apparent xeal. ''There are manr things in heaven and earth," as Hamlet says, if we had but th "philosophy to find them out." PINKNEY .

"Thealh3n .Vwinillc." Such is the heading of a long article In tin State Sentinel, and the "Galphin claim" seems to be a fat subject fur all the "democratic" papers, from Canada to Cuba, at the present timeWhat is it? What is the meaning of it? Simply this: A citizen of Georgia, by the name o Milledge Galphin. during Mr. Polk's administration, preeented a large claim against the Government originating with his grandfather Geo. Galphin, before the Revolutionary war which was allowed by Mr. Polks Congress, and paid by Mr. Polk's Secretary of the Treasury. After Gen. Taylor's inauguration, Galphin presented another claim for interest on the principal, which wa. decided to be just by Cen. Taylor's Attorney General, and paid by Gen. Tayloi's Secretary of the Treasury. Galphic's attorney to prosecute the claim, in both cases, happened to be Mr. Crawford, Gen. Taylor', present Sec

retary of War, who lawyer- like, agreed to take a "contingent fee," and lo divide the "spoils" with his client. This, in a "nut-shell," is a cor rect version of the whole affair provided US State Sentinel tails the truth about it. But the Sentinel and all the other democratic papers now say that the claim was franduleut, and that Geo Taylor and th. whole whig party should be sent to the infernal regions because they relied upon Mr. Polk's judgment, who was cot smart enough to discover the fraud, and because Gilphius attorney has been raised to a seat in the Cabinet. Perhaps Secretary Crawford may have a few stripes of the locofoco in him! Bat it seems the claim was settled "according to law," and therein he committed a great error He should have stolen the whole amount in defiance of law like Swartwout, Price, Spencer, and, in that case, all the locofoco papers wouM now be praising him up to the skies!
