Tho salary is fixed at $6,000 per avnum. A geological survey of the State by a competent geologist would prove of much bene- Bt in the way of ass:sting in the developemont of her mipveral wealth. A reilabie survey of the character con- tempiated would accomplish much toward a successful direction of labor. An incalculabie amount of labor has been thrown away in Californian for want of that exact information which would bave pointed up- erringly to the result. But it would occupy the time of ope man for years to make a thorough survey of this great State.

New York Sympathy for the Shoemakers’ Strike at Lynn. | Last night a meeting was held of the above trade in | New York, for the purpose of rendering epecial assistance to the men of Lynn, The meeting, generally speaking, was very well attended. Mr. Tyrrell occupied the chair, | and Mr. James Moore acted as Secretary. The mecting being convened, the Ciaran stated that | the objoct was to raise subscriptions for the men who were out on strike there, and belonged to the trade. He | algo said that their families were in a very bad etate in regard to support. ir. H. Davis said thatthe men of New York belong- ing to the trade liad done agcod deal, but notas much as he, in his opinion, thought they should bave done, The collection gathered at the first mecting bad been sent forward, and he only hoped the seconu collection would exceed it. i Mr. Hantixy urged the necessity of every man collect ing for such a purpose. Only $160 had been sent from New York, and when they considered the number of men abd Women that were out of employment, he was | convinced that they had only to use their energies here- alter to make the sheemakers of Lynn be independent of their taskmasters. | Mr. C. MeCaurny stated that in all that bad fallen from. | the Chairman anc the eloquent speakerg, he fully concur- | ved. The trade they all belonged to in’New York was a | very good one; and as they were getting on #0 well here, | he copBigered 1; the bounden duty of all present to help those who were oppressed. (Hear, hoar). There were 1,500 shoemakers in the city of New York, and when he looked at the case of the strike, he might say they had Auterally contributed nothing. He was anxious to have a railying word; aud that was to bave another mass meet- ivg. He called vpon the shoemakers of New York to , and to me the menof lynn. There were many shocmakers in New York who had never contributed a peany towards the men on the strike at Lynn. All they wanted was a fair remuneration for the work they did. Taey had been battling hard against the opposition, and he oped they would succeed. ‘The present meeting was an appeal to the trade: and Le would call on all present tomake it a poble appeal. (Hear, hear.) Capital and sabor were like the Siamese Twins—tney could not be dis- jointed. (Hear, hear.) The shoernakers, take them as a body all through, were good men, but were very badly nandied in the New | Kegland States, The trade in itself was a good one—yes, it was noble in every respect. Consequently the present ap- peal wes mace, and he wouid say, let it go forth taro the press that if the present mecting did not, fully realize i See another mass one could easily be called. Mr. Harriny could not concur with the previous speak- cr ip respect to apother mass meeting being called. Mr. McCartuy proposed a resolution to the eflect that a committee be ommted for convening another mass | mecting sine di iSiThe reeolution having been seconded and carried, the owing were appointed as members:—Messrs. Tnos. smes Moore, John Hamilton, Michael Keegau, ano Charter MoCarthey. The next resolution, which nem. con.. for’ the purpoee of eppom: collectors to lift scbscriptions and 10 report io the ext Maes meeting, consisted of tha fol- lowing members:—Mesers. J. Tyrrell, Chaz. M’Carthy, James hartley, Join iMamilton, Thos. Nugent, Michael Keegan, James Joy, James Moore, Henry Davis, and John Brady The mecting then separated, every one present de termining that he would use his best endeavors to cond 1 to the distressed families at Lynn; and all seemed to imbibe the feeling tbat in this great “land of liberty”? no one should teet nor experience dietress or hardship. Mais Meetimg of the German Cabinet- makers. A very large and enthusiastic mass meeting of the Ger- man Cabiuetmakers’ Union took piace on Tuesday night, at Harmonic Garden, in Eseex street. Eloquent and ap- propriate speeches were made by Mesers. Roedel, Home gen, Strauber, Simon, Stern and Karonerd, all tending to encourage the members of the association to maintain, individaally, the stand which they had taken. They had already declared war, and they could not, without ignominy, capitulate, except upon honorabis ter Advance, not retreat, should be their watch word. What they demanded was no more than was reaso ableand right. They bad been told that this movement consisted only of a few revolutionary spirits; but was not this meeting and previous meetings undeniable proof to the contrary’ It had been eaid, too, that if there were would be no workmen: but they could hat if there were no workmen there would be no ; and tt wae far easier for a workman to live with- s, then for a bdes to live without a workman. They bad come here, the most of them, from monarchical governments—cime to this great western republic in hopes of enjoying the blessings of that freedom of which ey bad hear: much, But thoee who had been bere for ars COUld testify thatslowly, and as it were with H ‘ant tread, the encmy to freedom had been making his approach, until it wag hard to eee much diiferenca be. | tween the rights and privileges of the workingmen here | and in the home they had left behind them. Capitalists were gradually xsoming to themselyes more and more power, and soon the laborer would feel himself not much better than an automaton, to be used at pleasure by his emptoyer. Their demanas were jast—they should hold fast to them—-keep onited—and they would succeed in at taining their object. Confidence in themselves and each other Was their greatest surety ‘The speakers were loadly and enthusiastically applaud- ed throughout and at the ciose of their remarks, and the ) utmost harmony characterized the whole meeting. Ik was stated that some bosses, [riendly to the Union, ; Whose names were not known, had gent in five dollars each for the assistance of the workmen. We were ia- formed that over two thousand Germans are engaged in ) this movement. ‘The meeting indefinitely adjourned at a late hour. Saperior Court. Before Hon. Judge Bonny. CURIOUS SUIT AGAINST THE SPECIAL AGENT OF THE POST OFFICE. Avni 4— Wiliam J. Muekt vs. James Holbrook. —It will be recollected that the plaintiff, Moehl, was comvicted in the United States Circuit Court in February last of par- Joining letters from the Post Office in this city, and appro- Priating the contents— several hundred doliars—to his own use, He was sentenced to ten years hard labor at Sing Sing, and is now undergoing his punisament. After Muebl was sent up, hit counsel brought an action against Mr. Holbrook, the efficient special agent of the Post Oifice and the terror of letter puriomers, who caused the arrest of Muehi, to recover the property which was taken by him (Holbrook) from Muebl, and which was pari of the proceeds of the plunder of which he was convicted. The firet action was brought in the Superior Court, but Mr. Dwight, who progesuted the plaintiff in the United | States Court, moved that eecurity for the costs of the suit be filed, on the ground that the plaintiff, Much], was a non-resident, and alzo 4 person committed for ‘crime. The plaintiM discontinued the suit on payment of $10—the preliminary costs. The present action was renewed ia the Supreme Court, and a similar motion was made by Mr. Dwight for the filing of security for costs. a Judge Bonny granted an order staying proceedings un til euch security be giren.

INTERESTING FROM MEXICO. Affairs in the Lnterior—Hatred of Americans— Commander Marin’s Protest, Ren Our City of Mexico Correspondence. Maxioo, March 18, 1860. Agitation im the Capital—News ef Marin’s Capture—Ana- Chemas on Americans— Captain Turner's Course Approved by the British Comminder—Movement Among the In- dians—Death to the Whites—A New Leader Among the IndiansMassacre in Yucatan—The New British Mints- ter—More Jecker oans—Affairs in the Interior—Mira- mon’s Intention to Raise the Siege of Vera Cruz, de. On the inside of the walls of this city the ory is que mueran tos Yankees; on the outside of the walls we hear the cry of que mucram los Llancos. Between the Indians outside and the equally savage Mexicans and Spaniards inside, we appear at this moment to be on what might be called delicate ground. ‘The fact of Marin’s capture came to hand two days ago, ‘and since then the very air of Mexico—it is so conserva- tive and so priest riddem—has cried, ‘‘Death to our traitor- ous enemies, the Yankees.” The pulpit and the press have since sent forth anathema after anathema vpon our inful beads. Heaven bas even beom upbraided for longer tolerating the existence of such a pestiferous people as we are. People on the stroet cornérs express their wonder that the bones of departed Mexican heroes can lay quietly ip their tombs while their country is thus being crushed and ingulted beneath the feet of the ill.mannered and con- temptuous Northern monster. Men, women and children of the clergy faction cry out against us, bite their teeth and writhe their cowardly faces as they pass or look at one of us of the proscribed. So far they have only got their hands in at abusing us, and, unless something turn up to divert their attention, they will go on improving ia the diction of their invective for the next fortnight, It seems probable that in that time they will take some steps to redress the Marin affair, and as they cannot hope to do anything against Amsrican territory, they will fal! to per- secuting us who are here in their power and now stripped of ali protection. It is now reported they will banish from the coudtry all Americans, but I consider it by no means Fafe to say as yet what they willdo. Unless our govern- ment takes sore steps at onse for our protection, I oon- atder it would be the beat thiag for us aul if a general or- der of banianment should by issued, for that would gave us from the acts of vengeance which are sure to follow if we are leftin our present unprotected condition. The cause of sli thie Rew furore againat us is the Marin busi nese, of which you will receive full particulars long ere this can reach you. So far as we have particulars of the iy ee | bueineez, which come from the English naval com mander at Vera Cruz to Mr. Matthew, it appears ihe captain of the Sarutoga was in the right, and so his conduct, I learn, is approved by both the Eaglieh commander and the British Minister— uno opinicas Which should be worth much more than the views of the French and Spanish commanders, who are the vatural allies of the clergy faction. While the Marin business 1s bringing curses innumera- ble on our devoted beads in this capital, the cry of the down trodden Indian for vengeance is rising up from ali sices. A large camp has been established just beyond ‘oleca, where 4,000 armed savages are reported to have colleete?. They are committing all mauner of dopreda. | 1 | cown une, with the cry of ‘ Death to the whites and Jong live fhis cry has struck terror to many, and soy ) <peot to hear it sounding in demoniac tones over‘ibe wails of this very city. Tbe camp now estab- lshed is ovly some sixty-five milea from here, and the great majority of the intervening population belong to the trodden race. A few weeks ago the Indians of Chailco showed signs of rebelling, but the death of Villal- va stopped theif movements forthe time. They have now @ new leader, an Indian youth of education, and any day we may expect to see them in arms ail about us. This will not be a war for the constitution or for religion, but for the gupremacy of the Jndians and the destruction of everything pertaining to the whites. In Yucatan the In- aps have dealt a terrible biow to the whites. Out of 4 troops sent against the Indian encampment at Chan Santa Cruz, but 600 returned to tell thetale. Allthe rest were butchered by the Indians. This signal victory of | whe Indians of Yucatan places that peninsula at their mercy, and it will not be a matter of wonder if they as- sume the aggressive and drive the whites out. What has taken place in Yucatan is threatened in Jalisco and all the Northern States of the republic. It would not be wonderfui if the clergy tried to get the contro} of this ele- ment. They buve alreacy several Indian chiefs at their dispoeal, aud if they lose now they will unquestionably strive to bripg down the whole national fabric in a bar- baerous war. Tbe times are mpe for this eaterprise. The appoiutment ofa British Minister in the place of Mr. Matthew bas caused great surprise amongst all partics here The English residents are struck dumb and the clergy party wild witn delight, thinking it signifles ul will now support them. The cause of this singular step on the part of the British government bas been Mr. Matthew's great popularity, and the great and deserved applause he has received from the American press, for his many im- portant services rendered to Americans. The known red- ‘tapiem of the British Foreign Oflice docs not allow a man to rise too soon, but if his-own government will not sustain him for his good gervices rendered since he has been in charge of the Legation, the American puplic must forever feel grateful to him for the important and generous ser- vices he has rendered to our fellow countrymen in hours of danger and need. ‘The house of Jecker hes made further heavy loans to the clergy, and it is caid these ioans are made into diplo- matic conventions uncer the protection of France and Prussia—the Ministers of both these countries touching & very handsome per centage of the prolits. The State of Oajaca has undoubted!y falien into the hands of the conatitutionalists. The clergy forces in the Plain of Perote are reported to have been completely beaten by Carvajal. Aureliana suli holds all the villsges in the south of the Valiey of Mexico, coming up with his men once or twice @ week to the city wails. New fortitications are being put up all about the city, which looks ¢s if the clergy intend io make a desperate stand here when the worst comes, ‘The reports from the interior are very contradictory, but it appears the Iiberals have ail the country, the ciergy forcea being reduced to the cities of Guadalajara and San Luis Potosi By the mail of to day Gabrias sends powerful orders to Admiral Penaud to operate inst our vessels at Vera Cruz, Mr. Matthew, I learn, eends word for his vess:is to observe a strict neutrality. Ta case Miramon hes not taken Vera Cruz, he hassent word that to.day he will raise his camp and fall back. Protest of Admiral Marin. THE MEXICAN VIEW OF THE VERA CRUZ OUTRAGE. Be it known thaton the 27th of February last, the un. dersigned Jett tue city of Havava, with two steamers, which he had purchased from merchants of that place by order and tor account of the supreme government of Mexico, having given to one of them the name of General Miramon, after ghe had been nationalized as a Mexican steainer, and retaining for the other the name of Marques de la aia, GHiii sbe was nationalized as Mexican, which was to take place ouly after reaching the coast of Mexico, and. proviaed she had proved hereeif in good condition during the voynge. The undersigned, according fo instructions from his government, wes bound to, and on the 6th of March ar- rived at, ive port of Anton ‘Lizardo, which is a port of the republic of Mexico, and there anchored his steamers. On the night of the same day, at the hour of half-past eleven, be was approached by three vessels, two steamers and a tarce-masted ship, to wit: the steamer Wave, whom the undersigned knew to be in theservice of Don Benito Juarez, the President of Vera Cruz; the steamer Indiancio, a merchant vessel, known also a8 being in the ipterest and at the service of said Dou Benito Juarez, and ned out alterwards to be the Saratoga yeRs the United States. The undersigned, believing the said steamers Wave and luaianola to be in the service and under the orders of the Vera Croz government, and supposing that they were towing up armed launches of said government to attack bim, ordered the anchors to be raised, and pressed the fires at the eugime. At this very moment, and at a short interval from each other, he received two bail shots from the approaching vessels, which were immediately re- turrec by the Miramon. Presently the masts of the ship became ore apparent, and the undersigned, taking his Epygiass, eoon discovered that the aforesaid steamers not towing armed launches of the government of Vera Cruz as he bad supposed, but a frigate, which, it struck bim, might be of the United States, though she bad no flag at oer mast,any more than the Wave and the Jadiapola; and stonce be ordered his men to cease firing, as his government, not being at war with the Uni- ted States, bad instructed bim sedulously to avoid all complications with that pation. But the tire from the at- tacking veese!s was resumed with increased vigor, both with canpon and musketry. The steamers Miramon and Marques de la Habana were boarded and capured, and the undersigned, with bis officers and crew, reduced to rigorons captivity.

MontGomery, March 30, 1860. ‘Tne Knights of the Golden Circle—Their Aims and Objects—It is Not a Secret Organization—Their Ultimate Destina- tion—Con fidence of their Leaders—Their Platform, dc. A short time since I read an article in the Herap con- cerning the now widely known military and political or- ganization of the ‘Knights of the Golden Circle,’, giving some particulars of the movement abou, New Orleans. Before this you have probably noticed in some of the Alabama and Georgia newspapers accounta of public meetings which have been held at various places in the States, at which some of the K. G. C. leaders came out with a public exposition of their aims and objects. At Montgomery, Auburn and Selma in this State, Atlanta, Co- lumbus and other leading places in Georgia, their meet- ings have been largely attended, and public sentiment, so far aslamable to judge. is decidedly favorable to tne cause of the Knights. e city of Montgomery seems to be especially favored by these would-be crusaders, for not only have we been twice visited by its Commander- 1n-Chief and his staff, Major H.C Castellanus and Col. N. J. Scott, but we have been favored with the two gentlemen from Virginia during the month past, whose avowed object is the enlistment of mon for the army of the Knights of the Golden Circle. Dur- ing a conversation which | had yesterday with one of these gentiemen, I learned thas the pecepena xt the or- ganization were never more favorable than at the pre. . sent time. He ecemed to have no feara of their plans being interfered with either by the Mexican government orour own. As to the latter, he remarked that their commander had never, since the comiarmcenerts 0 9p8; rations, issued a single order or document of any kind witbout forwarding it to the Secretary of . He said that the: —— was already nearly 40,000 strong, and roughdut scattered the Southern States; and he believed that within less than ninety days more than two thirds of the people of the South—men, women and children— would be enlisted in the cnuse of the K. G. C.'s. As to its being a eeoret organization, he said that they had never intended it as such, having adopted the plan of secret signs and passwords in order to select their men and avoid im rs. Hesaid the K.G.C.’s were bound for Mexico from the start, but felt the necessity of building themselves up into power before they declared their intentions. They were now -strong and growing stronger hourly—they knew that the Popul heart of the South was in their favor, and therefore they were ready to state their real aime and objects to the world. He denied that the K. G. C.’s were filibust that they were goipg to Mexico openly and above board, and with the full knowledge of our government. In re- ply to my remark that the United States might autictpate the K. G. C.’s, by an invasion of Mexico from our frontier, my informant said that he had no fears whatever on that score. Said he: ‘We have at this moment a much better military force than the United States government, and can concentrate an army of twenty thousand men in Mexico, while the dignitaries are discussing the matter at Washin; With a republican Senate and House there Is littic danger of precipitate action in such matters. This feel- ing of conficence seems to be common among the members of the Order. They claim thet their a ; Claimed organization is based upon the following propositions, | having reference to the question of slavery in the South- ern S:ates:— : 1. The North baving avowed its determination not to admit any more slave States into the Union, it behooves Southern men to provide an outlet for the expansion of slave institutions. 2. This cannot be done by the federal government, since the North will only accept national domain as “free territory,’’ and hence the South should, oy all meaus, prevent the acquisition of any territory in the South by the federal government 3. The dieposition of the Northern people to organize themselves into associations for the suppression of sia- very justifies counter organizations at the South with op- porite objects. This, then, seems to be the ‘‘political’’ platform of the K. G. C.’s, and as such it is worthy of serious attention. Personal Intelligence. William H.

He alleged that Hongst was a German‘ vame, which, being translated, means “ stud horse,’’ that it was generally understood and recognized among those of his fellow citizens with whom he associa- ‘ed as ‘stud horse’’ or ‘‘staiion,” and that he was sub- sect, on account thereof, to ridicule and shame; that puns and jokes were continually perpetrated against him to his embarrassment and incoaventence, as well n trade and business as in social intercourse. For these reasons he asked to use his mother’s maiden name, ‘Ewald,’ and to be known by he pame of Joseph John Ewald.

Imtoresting from Utah, OUk SALT LAKB OLTY CORRESPONDENOM. Gnear Sart Laxe City, 0. eh March 9, 1860. The Lecturing Season im Salt Lake City— Anticipated De- parture of the Army—How the Mormons Fecl— Resignation Of Judge Eckels— General News, do. Out here, at the present time, we are in the midst of changes, and living considerably in anticipations. The danciog is fairly over, and we are going it strong in lee- tures and propositions for intellectual improvement. While federal officers are wire-pulling at Washington, and the momber for Vermont is preparing to introduce some- thing for the punishment of the Patriarchs, for daring to profane our modern history with the Israelitish domestic institution, there is on the surface of things here a per- fect calm and nonchalance that is perfectly refreshing to look at. 1 often think it would be a treat to Eastern folks to see how things move here. It frequently happ1s when there is every lind ripping and tearing Do a Fast about hance , Concerning the animal, ta Bre and mineral Kogdom, the faba aad fore’ of Mal , were novel an from persenal obearvallen. of ae See pelago. dently aims at cestroying the prejudice agaist the aay. character from iis old reputation for treachery and b: . thirstiness—following everything, he advocates colonizs- ‘tion and benciicent civilizing enterprises ‘‘in the beautifal islands of the Indian seas.” As the informs me that he expects to continue his lectures, I will probably make a synopsis of what is intercsting and really now for ‘the Hrxatp, and forward by another mail. Protessor Orson Pratt, the Mormon Apostle and Philoso- pher, is also lecturing twice a week to Jew and Gentile, in the Tabernacle, on ‘Natural Philozophy.”’ So, between’the Jearned apostle’s developements in acience, and the cap- ae narrate Aas kre aaa the apeed and marvels of tbe Archi » Mormondom is énjoying something better han’ wit’ they anticipated in the winter of '67, when “sheepskins, goatekins, dens and caves of the mountains’ were familiarly spoken of and largely anticipated. By the by, as a peculiari- ty of our situation, admission to either of the lec- tures is reduced to the very moderate figure of a candle. Brother Brigham furnished the use of his own ball homer and the hearers were only re- quired to furnish the lights; in doing which I hardly think the brethren have exhibited commendable zeal, as the audience was large and the lights few. This candle admission is another item of Western lifo, where the “golden eagle, silver collar and copper cent— trione deity’”’—is seldom seen. New Yorkers would hard- ly fancy another country fashion of shouldering wheat toa ballrocm door for the admission of self and lady, or ladies, ! sbould have said. But, fam informed such bas been no rare occurrence during the past winter in tome of the country settlements, before the lords and their ladies could exercise themeelyes in the torpsicho- rean art. v TUE ANTICIPATED DEPARTURE OF THE ‘ARMY. Unless General A. 8. Jobnaton has been detained en route, it will scarcely be news to say that he left Camp Floyd yesterday week for Washington. Every arrange- ment was entered into for expeditious travelling west- ward, in the expectation that he would meet the first Pa- cific steamer for the Isthmus; and, pursuing the usual route, arrive in your city about as early, and much better for the comfort of bis physical man. as if he had ‘*packed’? it through the mountain gorges and over the eage plains and the sand hills which intervene between this and the Miseouri Op the departure of the General, the comman- er of the Post at Camp Floyd, Colonel C. F. Smith, as- sumed the command of “‘ the Department of Utab.’’ There is yet nothing definitely known, so it is said, in tothe moving of the army from this Territory; and however great the moral certainty, published, officials have nothing to ane nad other ths heodaimnetne t, and other things, are ly wren ieewes ateectams purchase of supplies here, and specaiators in the confi- dence of ‘the powers that be’’ are manifesting great earnestness in purchase of mule flesh, and are busy Calicoes, teas and coffee for oxen. The sequel of magnificent ewindle—‘the mule sale’’—is looming in the distance, and all that was ever said about the extor- tionate prices that will have to be for mules to move the army will be fully realizei. fell, I don’t know that it matters a great deal—the equandering of a few scores of thousands—the nation is rich. ‘The visit of Gen. Johneton to Washinton, accompanied by his Adjutant, Major Porter, was ordered to be with the least possible delay. The day before bis departure there was 4 tine review at camp. 1s not expected to return here. Of consultations with the Cabinet at Washington, of course, you will be posted; here, however, it is under- steod that he goes to deliberate on “the Mexican inva- sion. AB a commuyity, Iam persuaded that the Mormons are ey, indifferent about the troops going or stayiog. ‘ithout alluding to the compliaints about the corraption that has increased since the army came, nothing is more certain than that the Mormons have been largely benotited by the money brought into the Territory through the pres- ence of that army. The short of the whole Utah difficulty can be summed wp. in that fact which I am authorized in stating. The lormons want a State government; they believe that thoir numbers entitle them to it, and until they get it they will keep nibbling at everybody and everything that stands in the way of the attainment of their “ ny otber citizens of equal number inhabiting this Terri- ory would do the same thing. My word for it, the Mor-” mons will keep knocking at the door of Congress for admiseion as the State of Deseret, and they will never cease knocking, nor will ever trouble cease between them and the Gentiles till Deseret is added to the galaxy of “stars,” that areemblazoned on the national “stripes.” RESIGNATION OF JUDGE ECKELS. His honor Judge Fckels has been in the city for the last eight days, and moving about with his friends. I under- stand that he eent a letter of resignation by last mail or by his son, who went East with the mail. His honor pur- poses vacating the office of Supreme Jadge for this Ter- ritory next July. I presume he is about tired out. By the same mail, if lam rane. informed, his Excellency Governor Cummings advised the administration to re- move allthe Judges. I believe bis objection to theso federal officers is their constant ronning away from their districts contrary to law. Judge Eckels was absent up- wards of ten months last year; he had, however, per- | mission for leaving, if he not as much for such a | lengthy absence. But now the Associate Judges, Siaclair and Cradlebaugh, are both absent, wire working at Wash- ington. * | PETITION FOR THE LIBERATION OF YOUNG M'KENZIE. The Governor forwarde by this mail to President Ba- chanan a petition for the pardon of Thomas McKenzie, whoee name figured so prominently last summer as a forger. McKenzie prepared plates as an engraver, em ployed by others, for the purpose of imitating Sub-Trea- sury draiis. SEVERE WINTER. Heavy storms this winter have been few; but the cold, hard, frosty weather has been continuous, and has been eevere on cattle and fruit trees. The peach is the principal fruit here, and report has it that the greater portion of the trees are destroyed throughout the Territo- ty. The weather hae been exceedingly variable. For five or six weeks back there has becn now and again every indication of spring, and when the genial rays of the sun was leading us to anticipate 2 more agreeable geason, suddenly, ‘*Boreas, wi’ his blasts sae boid,"’ would drive us back again to extra clothing and winter wrappers I notice in the last eastern papers received here that discredit was thrown upon the report of Russell & Wadcoll’s great loes of cattle in Ruby Valley. The ‘statement was too true. I saw a gentleman yesterday, who has just arrived from that ley, and he informs me that of the 3,500 head of cattle belonging to those con. tractore, sent there to winter, he is fully satisfied that not more tban the odd five hundred are still alive, and if they live Grough to May it is more than is presently expected. Funeral of Governor Townsend. The funeral of Governor Isaac Townsend, who died of sneurism of the heart, at his residence in Twenty-fifth street, on Sunday morning last, took place yesterday from Grace church, A large number of influential citi- zens, among whom was General Scott, attended to pay the last tribute of respect to one whose logs will long be felt iu our midst. Hon. Fernando Wood and the mem- bers of the Common Council, the medical staff from Randali’s Island, and the Board of Almshouee Governors were present at the frneral, and followed the body of their deceased friend to its last resting place. The body was aressed in citizen’s clothes aud placed in a handsome rosewood coffin, Hmed with white satin and studed with silver nails, a small plate of the same metal on the lid bore the following inseription:— Occ rece cert teae anes ee eerAeege este te terest sitet re & ISAAC TOWNSEND, Born April 19th, 1805. ‘Died April 1st, 1860.

As briefly a8 possible let me say that our Ambassador, Governor Wright (who, by the way, I iad is ono of those old fashioned, generous, democratic, patristic, whole- eouled, alive American representatives), invited all Ame- ricans and some of his Prussian friends to celebrate ‘Washington’s birthday at the embassy on the evening of the 22d. About three score and tem responded to the call. The fine saloons of the Governor were tastefully arranged, and after a cup of tea in the grand saloon, all were inyited into the diaing room, where a most bountiful provision had been made.

Apropos of the Governor, I hear that he is desirous of re- turning to America to belp fight the baities in the coming Political campaign. 1t has also been occasionally hinted ‘Unat he might be made a candidate. Certainly I camnot but thipk that he would be a much stronger candidate than Douglas. I am sure no more zealous democrat could be found hailing from the Northwestern States, Macamo de Wilhorst lately sang here in the ‘Barber of Seville,” and very much to the satisfaction of this very critical German people. She was repeatedly en- cored. She will remain here severa! months if she com- pletes her engagement. Iam told that a chivalric American- lately proposed to “stick”’ an Eoglisbman whom he thought worthy of such an honor. But the latter replied that te could not con- scientiously think of depriving America of so noble a s0n, and also that he did not feel quite ready to leave this world until he bad seen Old England again, and, theretore, must rerpectfully decline; but as both of them had sud things wl were rather broad, that ho was very ‘“wil- ling to take all back and sbake hands.”” But the Ameci- pets less noble, of his proposal. by yesterday wate about eceing the sights of the really New World T hear that the ‘prospects are fair for anothor grandchild tothe Queen of England.

Our Cowes Correspondence. Cowss, March 6, 1868, American Bark Anna—The Case of Alleged Barbarous Treatment and Murder at Sea—Condensed Report of the Bzamination—Prodable Falsity of the Charge—Phe Case Transferred to the United States, dc., dc. ' On the lasfvoyage of the Fulton, I transmitted to you a few hurried lines in raference to the serious charges made against the first and second mates, Edward Lane aad (ior- don Hires, of the bark Anna, of New York, which put into this port on the 8d January last, having lost mest of her sails and five of her crew on her voyage from Laguna to Falmouth. I promised to keep you informed of the re- sult of the investigation before the local magistrates, but ag the cage assumed such a serious aspect, I forbore mak- ing any comment thereon until the same had been judi- ciously investigated by the authorities in this country, fearing that any observations on my part might prejudice the ends of justice. The public mind in this country has been greatly excited on the subject, and more particularly as other cases of ill treatment on board American vessels were at the same time occupying the attention of the authorities elsewhere, all which have appeared from time to time in the London and provincial prees—which I am the more astonishod at, from the fact that there was legally no other foundation for the seme beyond the ex parte statement of a colored man, whose deposition was alleged to have been taken before a local magistrate at the police station house Cowes, and which deposition must have been put in circa” lation by the police themselves. 1 did not attend the preliminary examination, becanse I was satigfied that the magistrate and police were acting im total ignorance of the treaty between the two coantres and that ho proceedings could be taken by this govern ment without the interference of the United States repre- sentative ofthe district, as the treaty of Washington pro_ vides; and particularly as no complaint had been made by the (said to be) ill-weed seamen to the consular agent here. The vessel had up to this time been a week in tho port. Inow forward to you a condensed summary of the proceedings from the commencement, haying watched the cage throughout. Captain Tuthill on hearing of the charge, being thea on shore attdhding to the ship's business, assured me most solemnly that there was not the slightest foundation for ‘the charge, that it was a nigger’s story, and that the two niggers aud steward were anxious to be paid off—the lat- ter having his “‘Iessie”’ in London, and who, by the by, upon the arrival of the ship at Cowes being made known to her, paid him a visit here, and shortly afterwards re- turned. Before anything was beard of the charge the men had been on shore, and some drunken squabbles occurred between one of the darkies and the shore folks. On the Saturday following, the steward, it appears, wrote a letter to the police, and signed it in the name of John nee Be Abram Rock, who could ae read to § wi ereupon, the sergeant of police went alongside the ebip, left with him for the shore. On the Monday following, the policeman again accompanied them on shore, and took them to the police station, and baying obtained a local magis- trate, who had only been mated ag such a few weeks previous (Mr. Roscow Cole Shedden), their state ment was taken down in the presence of each other, and be having heard their exparte statement, immediately is- saed big warrant for the oy here 9 of the two mates, and remanded the case for hearing before the bench at Newport, without affording the accused the opportunity of being present to reply. The mates were the same a’ter- noon taken outof the ship and locked up in the police ceil that night, noteven affording them the opportunity to go into the cabin to change thelr working clothes and wash themselves before going on shore. The police stated that they had made no charge against the master—whioh appeared extraordinary, is being the general im; tnt such cruelties as had been deoicted pies red on board, he must have been cognizant thereof. I accompanied the master to the station to see the mates. ‘The following afternoon they were handcuffed and taken through the etreets to the ship, aud afterwards conveyed to Newport jai, where they were locked up until the Saturday foliowiog On Saturday, the 14th, the mates were brought before a full bench of magistrates on remand, charged witu the wilfol murder of six colored geamen—consoquent on the alleged information of ‘two darkies.” No deposition, as alleged was taken before Mr, Shedden was read to them. As goon as the mates wore — ba nll Charles Stokes, a solicitor, 5 ning, the.
