California Emigrants.

We have been permitted to read a letter to WM. K. EDWARDS, Esq., of this place from his brother in California, dated 5th September 1849, within75 miles of Suter's [sic] fort. He arrived there, after being out four months and twelve days from Independence; and says the road is good in many places, but in as-

cending and descending the Sierra Ne-, vada mountains, it appears almost im-

possible for any person, much more for wagons to cross over. That he had travled over several places sixty miles in length, without grass—and in one fifty miles without even water—at this place he represents a great number of cattle perishing from starvation and thirst.— The country so far as he had passed over was barren. He also says there are two other roads leading to California, and not a wagon has been able to get through. The wagons were abandoned and the emigrants had to go on foot. There were many wagons (say 6000) behind him. and he apprehends that not one half will get through—and that those with families, will be left to suffer.

He also says that gold is abundant, and that by industry and exposure, the average of ten dollars per day to each man can be procured —but many were discouraged and leaving. -----

Rail Road across Illinois. The <Charleston (Ills.) Globe>, reads

some of us a lecture about Rail Roads —minding our own business &c. &c., in the following terms. Our friends, of the Vincennes and Terre Haute journals need not be so rabid on this subject-—their grumblings and denunciations are not any worse than that of the Missouri Republican, and are alike unheeded and disregarded. Illinois understands her own interests, and does not in any manner whatever, need their kind and paternal care. We repeat here again, as we did in our last, that the next Legislature will grant a charter, extending the great eastern line of railway via Terre-Haute t0 Alton on the Mississippi river. What difference then can it make, to TerreHaute, whether it terminates at Alton or Saint Louis? Does she not want the most direct route to the Great Father of Waters? It appears to us that the Journals of that place will consult the best interests of its citizens by <modestly> leavi ing us tp settle our own differences about 'termini' in this State, and not attempting to denounce us for doing just what Indiana has done, in establishing a system of State Policy.

The Explosion of tl»e Louisiana. By telegraphic despatches to the Baltimore papers we learn that Captaip Cannon, of the steamer Louisiana,, has bben arrested and held to bail in the sutp of eight thousand dollars^ The oxplo*. sion of the boat is attributed to carelessness ahd a.searching investigation of the matter is to,be had.

Many more dead bodies have been found, and it is thought that the number of kilted will hot be less than two hundred, besides many wounded.

The flags of the shipping in harbor are all flying at half mast in cons^ quence of this calamity.

Messrs. 13. B. McMechcn and F. \^f Thompson, the first at^d spcondtlerks of the Louisiana, were both killed.— They were from Wheoling.

His retirement will be a national loss. Mr. VintOn entered the House twenty-six years fcgo btid served fourteen years consecutively, then retired, but was re-clccietj in 1043, ancf has been biennially since so that when his present term expires, lie will have been 22 years a Member of Congress, He had the lion*s shata tif the work of the last Congress, and did it ample justice.— N.

CONGRESS—TIIF. NEW HOUSE.—\V,e made ono mistake in our summing up of the relative strength of the two parties in the new House. Ohio lias chosen eleven Lbcos nnd byt eight Whigs* besides Messrs.

We still don't see how the pro-Slavery and anti-SlaverjiLoco-focos are to agree in sufii,cierit jflithbers to elect a Speaker, but the Clerk, Ser-geant-at-Arms, Door-Keeper, and Postmaster they will elect almost beyond doubt.—iV.* Y.

GOLD MINE DISCOVERED IN INDIANA. —-Mr. Beggs, of this city, examined specimens of pure gold, worth some $50, yesterday, brought here by Mr. Ruggles, being specimens of gold discovered on the farm of a poor man by the name of Grigg, living near Martinsville, Ind. Several men are already working the mine, and itis exceedingly valuable. We have this information from a source that precludes all doubts of its truth.— Mr. Ruggles is still in this city, and Mr. Beggs, silversmith, Fourth street, and Mr. Gallagher, at O'Shaugnessy's, corner of Maine and Third, streets, know much more of the matter. This <is> the golden age.—<Cin. Commercial>. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-
