FORT LARAMIE, June 4, 1849.

We arrived here yesterday (Sunday) ot three o'clock. We are now about 700 miles from Independence. The fort was built a great many years ago by a Frenchman, whose name it bears. It is a square structure, covering about an acre of ground, with towers at the corners, one of which has partially fallen, and the whole affair is tending to a state of dilapidation. Laramie's peak, a spur of the Rocky Mountains, has been in sight for several days, and is now about 100 miles distant. The fort is within a few yards of Laramie's Fork, an affluent of the Platte. On our arrival the, scene was a busy one. A great many were preparing to pack from this point, and were selling or throwing away their surplus provision. Wagons that cost $150 can now be bought for $15. Every mess seem to have too much provision, ours among the rest. In walking through the throng, I thought, as I always do on Sunday particularly, of home. I could not but contrast this scene in the wilderness with the manner of spending it in Indianapolis. I very seldom get the "home fever," though the journey is attended with great fatigue. When I think of California these things vanish, as I saw the mists that hung on the bluifs of the Platte, the other morning, vanish before the splendors of the rising sun.— We rise every morning at three o'clock, and start at four—stop two hours at noon, and put up at five—usually making 25 miles. We expect to reach California about the middle of August. I have not heard a word from home since April 9. My last was dated at Ft. Childs, about two weeks ago.

We are completely shut out from California and all the world in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. We are attached to Capt. Prichard's company, from Kentucky. Our mess and the one from Eagle Village are together. Greer's, Ohr's and Norris's are from one to four days behind. From all that we can learn about 300 wagons are ahead of us, some of them ox teams, and probably 3500 or 4000 behind us. One of the most unpleasant things about the trip, is the discord that prevades almost every mess, though we have had but very little of it in ours.

I send this by a man that was shot, and is now returning with some Mormons. Our mess are all in good health. Tell their friends so. They do not ex pect to write.

SAMUEL DUNLOP. -----

Towns in California.

Some very interesting letters from the Presbyterian Mission in California, give us a better insight into the progress of settlement in that auriferous country than any thing that has yet come to hand. From them we learn that San Francisco, although greatly injured by speculation, will undoubtedly keep its position far ahead of any other town, in wealth, population and importance. Next to it in rank is a new settlement, called Bene cia, laid out as a speculation, and likely to prove a capital one. It is about fifty miles from the harbor of Snn Francisco, with which it is connected by the great bays of San Francisco and San Pablo. Its harbor will accommodate the largest ships, which can lie close ashore, in consequence of there being a natural levee. Commodore Jones and General Smith havo recommended it to the President as the best depot at the west for the army and navy. On the Sacramento river, one hundred and twenty miles from Snn Frnncisco, lies Sacramento City, formerly Sutter's fort. This is the residence of the miners, as is also a town called Stockton, in the same region. The former, notwithstanding its unhealthy position, increases rapidly. Sonoma, a Spanish town, lies on a small stream running into the Bay of San Pablo, and is the residence of many great Spanish land owners, as well as Governor Boggs, late of Missouri, and t! headquarters of Governor Smith. Monterey is another well known Spanish town. Napa City, Yount's Rancho, and the head of Napa, are all growing villages on Napa creok. Napa City is the newest, makes the most pretensions, and grows fastest. Santa Crux is a Spanish town on the road from Monterey to San Francisco as is also Sahta Clara. Prom all tho accounts we have seen, speculation soams to be running riot in California. There were towns enough in all conscience before the breaking out of the gold febut every fresh mail brings a mul-

ver titude of new town projects, and every leuer written appears to have some particular one in prospect. Besides those named above, there area number of old Spanish towr.s laid down on the maps, which nobody mentions now.

Mrs. Lourania Thrower died in March on the Ogechee river, Georgia. At a census taken in 182$, her age was put down at 110, and some accounts make her 1ST at the time of her death. She had seven children before the revolution her youngest living child is between 70 nnd 80 she has ffreat-grand*chUdren thirty years old, and a number of great great-great-grand-children living in Florida. Her sight failed her for a while, but returned about twenty years ago, st that she could thread a fine needle, oi read the finest print. Her (acuities re mained

almost

unimpaired till her death.

She had been a member of the Baptist church for more than a hundred years.

THE NATIONAL FUsf.—1The Moderator of the General Assembly (Old School) •of the Presbyterian Church in the Uni ted States, has issued a circular to all the ministers and members of the church, enjoining upon them the observance of the first Friday in August, the day set apart by the President as a (J»y of national "fasting, humiliation and prayer." Everything indicates thai the day will be observed properly by people of all creeds.

"Father," said a four year old child, "I think you area fool." "Why so, my child •'Because you have brought that bal»y here when mother is sick, and yoahwre to get a woman to take care of it." ••Go rook the cradle, Lucy, no tpore of your jabber."—Herald, of Reforms.

fatter from Gen. Scott on the Anaexation of Canada. We find the following letter from the hero of Lundy's Lane, in tbePhiladelphia News:

WOT POIICT, June 28,

MY DEI* SIX The news from the Parliament of Great Britain, this morning, must, I think, in crease tbe discontent of our neighbors on the other side of the St Lawrence and the Lakes not a little and that those discontents will in a few years lead to a separation of the Csnadaa, Mew Brunswick. Slc., &.C., from the mother country, seems equally probable.

Will those Provinces form themselves into an independent nstion, or see|f a connexion with our Union? I think tbe probability of the latter. In my judgment

both sides would be much promoted by annexa

tion—the several Provinces coming into the Union on equal terms with our present thirty States.— The tree navigation of thebt. Lawrence is already of immense importance to perhaps a third of oar present population, and would be of great value to tbe remainder. After annexation, two Revenue Cutters, below Quebec, would give us a better security against smuggli house employees, strung rates us from the British Possessions on our continent I am well acquainted with that line, and know a great deal of the interests and character of the Provincials. Though opposed to incorporating with us any district densely peopled with the Mexican race, I should be most nappy to fraternize with our northern and north eastern neighbors.

A Prescription.

The following cholera prescription by Mr. B. F. Greenough, of Cincinnati, has been used by Dr. Jordan of that city with great success in the 4th street Hospital and also by Mr. Greenough himself in a great number of cases. We copy it for the benefit of the public. 1 ounce pulverized gum guiacum, 1 ounce ground cloves. 1 ounce ground cinnamon.

To these add 1 quart best 4th proof French brandy shake them well several times during the first 24 hours, let them stand and settle, and give of the tincture from a tea to a table spoonful (as the nature of the case requires) once in 15 or 20 minutes.

Dr. Jordan writes: "I have used Mr. Greenough's cholera preparation with excellent success— and consider it among the best remedies for cholera. I used it, and recommended it to my friends in different parts of the country, previous to my connection with the Cholera Hospital—not knowing then whose preparation it was, considering it enough for me to know that it was good. I navo since become acquainted with Mr. Greenough, and find upon inquiry, that he has used it extensively in the city for the last two weeks —and with remarkable success even in cases given up by physicians."

TRIUMPH OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY.— During the past week we have had our attention called to another triumph of American manufacture, that of producing French bareges. For the entire season our auction rooms have been crowded with these goods. All thought that the Frenchman had catered wonderfully in designs, peculiarly suited to the American taste, as well as to the prevailing whims, until one of our jobbers callcd upon an importer of whom he had purchased a case of bareges, "to arrive his design was to inform him if not delivered soon he Would withdraw from the purchase. The importer was out, and the salesman, who Was not so well posted as to the importation, informed the jobber that they would soon be forthcoming, as his employer wtfs then absent at the printworks, urging up the work. Here then was the secret of the whole business exposed the tissues were imported in the gray, and with the tissues came a workingman accustomed to the preparation of colors for this kind of work. A bargain was immediately struck with the celebrated printers, Messrs. ttannell & Co., and all the bareges which have paid a profit to the producer, are Yankee printing on imported cloths.—N. York Vr$ Goods Rep.

Two GOVERNORS.—Advices from Florida inform us that Governor Mosely, the old La?ofoco executive, still holds on to his office, and intends doing so till Oc-

tober next. Governor Thomas Brown,

Whig, who was elected last fall, has|attheoe«

been installed, and is the proper officer, so that Florida is blessed with two Governors-

What may be the views of our Executive government on the subject, I know absolutely nothing bat 1 think I cannot err in saying that twothirds oi ourpeople would rejoice at the incorporation, and the other third soon perceive its benefits.

Of course, I sm opposed to any underhanded measures, on our part in favor of the measure, or any other act of bad faith towards Great Britain Her good will, in my view of the matter, is only second to that of the Provincials themselves, and that the former would soon follow the latter—considering the present temper and condition of Christendom, cannot be doubted.

The foregoing views I have long been in the habit of expressing in conversation I give them to you for what they may be worth.

Fai thfuliy yours, W INFIELD SCOTT.

Wordsworth, the Poet, was. present at the Queen's Ball in London lately.— A London journal, in speaking of the fact, remarks: "Poetry must truly be a healthy occupation. It was never considered very fattening, but the vital and divine spirit must be strong in the tuneful tribe. Here is Wordsworth, aged seventy-nine, travelling from Westmorland and joining in the court gayeties, besides writing sonnets. There is Samuel Rogers, aged seventy-seven, running about routs and picture sales. James Montgomery, at Sheffield, in his seventy-seventh year, isstill intent on'poetry and benevolence: and Thomas Moore, the Little, who on Monday entered upon seventy, sings his Irish melodies with as much gusto as ever, sips his pint of claret, and now and then indites honeyed verses on rosy lips, blue eyes, and 'all that sort of thing.' Jomna Baillie, bordering on fourscore, still graces her retreat at Hempstead. One of the early Lakers, Thomas de Quincy, after encountering many reverses in seventy years, and after eating more opium than would kill a company of grenadiers, dreams and writes classic dreams some where about •Auld Reekie,' joined occasionally by Professor Wilson, who is getting lazy, though only sixty-one."

R. Smith, an excellent prac

tical chemist, and an able contributor to the Glasgo* Practical Mechanics' Jour nd (North Britain), has discovered a process for printing, coloring, and gHd« ing porcelain and earthenware, by means of electricity. The process is said to be qtrite distinct from thn electrotype, and the spechnens produced—at onothirrf the usual oost—are represented to splendid.

Of the various routes which have been recommended, we have no doubt that the ocean route around Cape Horn, is the cheapest and most agreeable. .The fare from New York or Philadelphia to San Francisco is $200 for the first cabin, and $160 for the second. The best time to start will be sometime during September or October, as the emigrants will then arrive in San Francisco during Msrch or April,and have four or five months of summer during the voyage.

Perhaps the following estimate of die population of California will be interesting to some of our readers. It is from the foreign correspondence of the Presbyterian, and was made by a missionary at San hrancisco, on the 16th April. Since that time the population has probably increased four fold:

Place. Permanent Amer. Floating Population. Pop. Monterey, 100 150 800 Santa Cruz, 100 50 Pueblo San Jose, 150 300 500' San Francisco, 2500 3000 Senora, 100 150 300 NappaCity, 75 50 Yount's Rancho, 150 50 Head of theNappa, J00 50 Benicia, 150 100 Sacramento City, 250 1000 Stockton, 100 400

THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT WHEELING.—Span one thousand and ten feet, it is expected will open for travel early this coming fall. The suspension bridge at Niagara Falls has been tested by Mann's equestrian troop passing over it to Canada, twenty-two horse teams, with all the properties, and occu pying the whole bridge at the same moment.

California.

Mr. George McDougsl, a resident of California, has been herfc and is gone again. His statements confirmed, to the fullest extent, the most extrava gant stories which have been told of the gold re gion. He says that the £old is inexhaustible, and that any man of an ordinarily good constitution, cannot fail of making a fortune in a few months. Living is very high, of course, but wages are also extravagantly high. The salary of a clerk or salesman in a dry goods establishment ranges from

300 to |1000 per month, boarding included this salary is not sufficient to Induce you men to remain in tbe towns when tbey are able to

work in tbe mines—tbe clerksbeing only those who from disease or constitutional debility, are unfitted and unable to endure the hardships and exposure of a gold digger. Mechanics' wages are equally high. Ready made clothing is retailed at a profit orfrom 400 to 1000 per cent, but piece goods, owing to the difficulty bf getting them made up, are hardly worth their cost and carriage.

As a consequence of these statements, the California fever is again raging here worse than ever. Many young men have expressed their determination to go as soon as possible. Most of them are mechanics and clerks.

5.2W 1,600

Making altogether 10,575. This refers only to the towns, and does not include the miners.— Their number equals, at least, the town residents. There are, probably, 80,000 persons now jn the territory. Mr. McDougal thinks, however, that the country will furnish fortunes for as many persons as can go there for a numbejjof years to come.

Doubtless many fortunes wilrbe made there in a very short time—Mr. McDougal acquired about $400,000 in four years—but we would advise every man who thinks of going.there to dig gold, to

MILLS FOR SALE.

Mills lately belonging to Geo. W. Crosby, (formerly Steele's,) are offered for sale. These mills are situated on Big Raccoon Creek, about 25 miles from Terre-Haute, in the heart of one of the best wheat countries on the Wabash, and surrounded by a community of enterprising and thriving farmers. Raccoon at that point furnishes as good water power as can be found in the western part of the State. The bed of the stream being entirely of rock, is unsurpassed as a mill site. The mills are in perfect order, having been almost entirely rebuilt by Mr. Crosby, the late owner. They have three run of stones, two of which are best quality of French burrs. There is also a Saw Mill belonging to tbe establishment, and large quantities of timber near. Power also for a Carding Machine, and a suitable building in which the Wool Carding business is nnt successfully carried on. The machines do not belong to the establishment.

It is well known that the Arabians are zealous students of botany, and the fertile snd beautiful region which sjtirts the Desert abounds with rare plants and odorous woods, whence they procuro those gums and fragrant balsams of whicn this incomparable liniment is composed. It (has accomplished the most extraordinary cures of rheurna-' tism, one application removing the most acute pain, and a continued use ejecting cures of cases oflonr—— loss of at the .« vi au remedies, restoring limbs to persons who long were a burden to themselves and all others-i-nunierous cases of which,wlierein the flesh had entirely wasted away, lenving nothing but the dry skin on the bone and the limb rendered useless and without feeling, this allP°^ul "Jf^ine *u*»d healthy flesljtogrow andI fiU up the shri velled part, and restored strength to the limb.

It is unequalled for sprains bruises, cramps, cuts, all swellings, salt rheum, frozen limbs, burns, tumors, pains of all kinds, sore eyes, &c. and is superior to all other remedies for horse flesh in almost all cases which require an external application.* For sweeney it has no equal also, spavin, splint, galls, wounds, sprains, scratches, sore eyes, swellings, bruises, &c. &c. also, fistula, pole-evil, big-head and rine bone.

Mr. H. G. FARRELI,: Dear Sir—Having in my lifetime owned many horses, I am pretty well acquainted with the diseases they are subject to, as well ns the remedies usually applied, and must say that I never used or heard of any medicine that was half so good as your Liniment. I would recommend it with the greatest confidence to all whof have horses. They should always have it on hand, so that it could be applied immediately in case of accident, and thereby save the life of many a valuable horse I have used it in the very worst cases of sweeney with entire success also splint, sprains, bruises, galls, wounds, sore eyes, &c. Two most extraordinary cures I must mention in particular^ 1 got up very early one morning, and on looking into my pasture discovered my favorite horse limp ing and dragging a rail after him.

We are now1 applying it over the spine, which the doctors say is the seat of the disease, and we expect one bottle more to curs her as well aseVer she was.

By the next day I had the gratification of witnessing th« commencement of his recovery, and in six aaya thereafter I rode him to Peoria, as sound as ever, and would not take $150 for him now. The other case was this. One of my men got his leg in the teeth of a thrashing machine, and it was only by a miracle that he was not instantly killed. His leg was horribly mutilated, though no bones were broken. Your Liniment was applied, and in five days he went to work again. He fully believes that but for your Liniment he have recovered.

Mr. H. G. FARREUC.: Please send me by the bearer another dollar bottle of your Arabian Liniment, which will be enough, I think, to complete Iy cure my dear child. I have often thought that I would sit down and furnish you with an account of my poor child's situation, so that you might make it public, and thus be the cause of as much benefit to some others of my fellow beings as it has been to me. She laid for six months without the slightest power or control of her limbs what* ever, and suffered the most agonizing pain the greater portion of the time. Even her neck watf perfectly atiff, and so painful that she could not bear to have her head moved in the least. Thus was she for six months, during all which time we had to carry her about on a chair when she wished to change her place. We had three of the best in the whole country attending her.
