'Tho scenery from Gorgona to Cruces, altogether surpasses any other part of the river, SIR. SARAT SANDS, NEAR ACAPULCO, val August 17, last letter was the W.

GRAY- DEAR SIR: My written you while on board the Philadelphia, and just after we hind encountered and passed thro' one of the most severe gales experienced on the of Gull Stream for many 8 year. And when 1 look back upon that time and dangers passed, it seems more Jibe a dream than a it ality. I had inionded writing you from: P'anama, and so promised in my last, but on arrival was prevented from 60 doing by a number of circ*mstances over which had 110 contiol. Our arrival at Chagres was wolcomed by an ouipouring of the neavens in such a gloricus inanitestation, a9 to be realized needs but to be felt and not is Talk about rain in Ohio! Why you have 110 idea or the least conception of what a regular Chagres ruin means. Imagine not only the windows of' Heaven open, but the whole facade removed, and not drops issuing therefrom, but streams of nearly the size of your finger, pourinn upon you, and you may then have a faint idea of the sprinkling one gets in this latitude.

You have not the regular warnings, which precedo a storm in our Northern climate, and before you are aware of it, or have time to make but slight preparations, the gale is upon you in all its fury. We left Chagres about two in the afternoon in a boat large enough to contain twelve passengers besides Tour Inen to work the craft. Our progress Was uncommonly slow, as the river Was swollen to all uncommon height on account of the heavy rains which had lately fallen on the mountains, short time; and 80 which much effect as this to cause stream a in rise a very of serenal feet in a few hours, endaugering life and limb of all who embark upon its treacherous waters. The scenery up this river was the same as when I passed up it in April, only much more bright and of a lively green. The dry season had passed and all nature looked more lively and cheerful.

The trees were shedding their old leaves and new ones were taking their places.Occasionally the fun would peep from behind a black frowning cloud, revealing the glory of his spleudor, and doring these lucid intervale, you might get a glimpse of some large alligator basking in its rays upon the river bank, with his mouth wide open 10 catch some poor silly fly, who night be foolish enough to stray into his capacious mouth. and in an instant the jaws would close, and woe betide him who might be found therein. Parrots and birds of the most gorgeous plumage might be seen fying above your heads, waking the heavens melodious with their sweet music. Our boat being so heavily loaded, and the current so strong, we made but little progress this day, and only reached a small native village composed of about one hundred bamboo huts and one American tent, but located upon a very picturesque spot just in the bend of the river, called by the natives, Gertune. We arrived here about two in the evening, having accomplished but nine miles during the interval, and such a scene as here followed beggars des.

cription. As wo were the last to leave Chagres, SO we were the last to arrive here, and of course all the comfortable quarters wore occupied. had forgot.en to mention that amongst our pas engers were two ladies and three children.This, you will say, was very ungallant, as they should have been mentioned long ago, and I ad. mit the fact. But the trouble is, friend Gray, vou know I never was much of a ladies' man, and am therefore excusable on that score.

But they must be provided for the night. and after making a due search, we finally made a selec. tion of one rancho, where they could be com fortably quartered by spreading their blankets on the ground aud have for companions, cats, dogs, Neas, and lots of other vermin, to help beguile the tedious hours of the night. Since I ascended this river in April, a small steambout, called the Rices, which was intended to ply on the river as as Gorgona, but owing to its drawing too much water, could only ascend to Palenker, some forty -five miles from Chagres, and as she did not leave the latter place until six in the evening, only reached the same place 86 ourselves, and like us concluded to remain du. ring the night and take a fair start in the morning.

She passed us about two miles below this place and made the night hideous by her awful attempts at the whistle, which was intended lo give the small fry like ourselves a chance to retreat into some secluded nook or corner of this crooked and tortuous but beautitul river. It was ra her A pleasing wight, thus to see a er crowding her way up a stream, which but a few short months since, was entirely unknown (0 the American traveler, except on a map which perchanco was studied and forgotten in his youth. But even so it is with the indomitable go-aheadativeness of the American character. Before the dawn of day, our camp was in motion. Some starting up the river, others who had beeu less fortunate in getting a bed, aud had been compelled to take a standing berth for the might thus far, were occupying those just ted by former possessor, and for which he had paid the sum of four dimes, and the latter occupant would have 10 undergo the same amount of' fleecing.

By the way, let me tell those who are about to travel over this route for the first time, to make up their minds before leaving hoine, that from the time they purchaso their tickets in New York, until they arrive at any point in California, I care not where, they Inust be shaced, and that most outrageously, and more by the American who locates 01 any part of the route. than a native. These men merely star for the purpose of plunder, and consider their trado a legitimate one, and they follow it with the pertinacity of a blood-houud. But to return from my digression. As the steamer was to start carly next morning, four of us concluded to leave the societv of the dear ladies, and take passage on board of her, which would hasten our arrival at Panama nearly twenty -four hours.

The gaining of that much time was of great advantage to as our stay was known to be of short duration. The steamer arrived at her destination about four P. and we immediately hired A native canoe and commenced our farther ascent the river, deterinined to reach Cruces by noon of next day. We had gone but A few miles, when darkness overtook us, and we were compelled to sleep this night upon the beach. But be before stimulate doing the inner we man, must and have if a little possible.

coffee make to our dreams more pleasant. You would have laughed, could you have seen myself and inany others the beautiful occupation of making a wood lately washed there by the descending flood, and still soaking wet. This feat ACcomplished and coffee made, all hands set round the fire, each taking his turn at the gourd shell to wash down the sardines, soda crackers and plum cake brought with us from New York, for toe occasion. We had a company of thirty or forty in number, but all were not thus favored. and some were obliged to retire to nature's couch supperless.

for the first time, slept upon the damp, wet sand, with nothing but the canopy of heaven for covering, and oh! what a glorious sight it was. The moon was riding high in the heavena in all her glory and majesty, seemingly at with double the splendor ever witnessed at the North, accompanied by a countless multitude of bright and brilliant stars, as if to add splendor to her already dazzling brightness. At one, our camp In motion, and all joined in the onward strife to see who should first reach Cruces, and thereby secure the best mules to be had in the place. and in all conscience, they being more crooked and winding. with rapids where the water when in its highest stages, runs at ten miles per hour, making it a'most impossible to ascend them.

Your canoe will occasionally he directly under some towering mountain, which will cent be foliage, covered and to ng its very summit with you emerge from under this beautiful canon, will glide across the river where the current will be less rapid, with the speed of the race horse, and to your inexperienced eye, will seem as if carrying you to destruction. But fear not. In a good boat there is but little danger, and if there is, you will not notice it, for the of the beautiful will drive all fear from your eyes, and you will almost be willing to meet death, when accompanied by such magnificence scenery. We arrived at Cruces at 10 A. and immedtately made all our arrangements for leaving at daybreak, and concluded in the interto take some rest, and at the same time lions of the town, and as these are the senoritas, we had but little trouble in so doing.

as about one hundred of them wore engaged on the beach, washing clothes. Standing in the door our hotel, we could see them at their pation, and almost at their side a number of Americans bathing in this beautiful stream. Cruces contains about one hundred and fifty houses, and somewhere about one thousand gatives, together eight or ten of the palo faced race, who are located here for the laudable purpose before stated. After recruiting pearly one day and feeling much refreshed, we mounted our miles and bade adieu to this filthy town and commenced crossing over one of the worst roads it was ever man's privilege to pass over. This road is entirely different from the Gorgona, as it much narrower, and crosses over more steep and rugged bills intersecting the other at the dis tance of sixteen miles.

This road was built by the natives just after tho conquest of the country by the Spamards. and at that time must have cost much labor and severe toil. The surface was originally or paved with stones, and for miles in length, dug through the solid rock to tho depth of fifteen tu twenty feet, and RO DATrow as to make it perfectly impossible to pass any one, should you be so unfortunate as to come in contact, and to avoid this, your muleteer, as soon as he enters one of these gorges, commences hallooing, which will echo and vibrate through these hills and gorges to as to be heard at the distance of a inile or more. Theso stones, which were originally laid flat and emooth, are now scaitered here and there in most admirable confusion, and renders it truly dangerous; and to oue who crosses for the first time, will appear in some places perfectly impassable. Going down some of' the mountain sides you will pass over there disjointed and ragged stones where if the mule makes a mis-step you inust be inevitably injured, and perhaps killed.

Putnam's leap is child's play in comparison with this. Your devious and torturous road occasionally leads vou through deep gorges, and as you emerge therefrom plunge belly deep to the mule into the mud, and as he leaps from the solid earth, a distance very often of two feet or more, into this mud, you may consider yourself very lucky if you do not take a first rate sommerset over his head, and tho only way to avoid this catastrophe is to reach your hand back aud take hold of that portion of the back bone left by nature for this express purpose. You will experience the came dithculty in extricating the anitnal from the mud, for often will be ob. liged to make the same leap up; then catch him by the ears and will find they atlord a first rate hold. After having performed the above feals once or twice, vou will no longer wonder why Nature furnished the mule with such an elongation in so handy a place.

The most difficult feat to perform you will find in climbing 3 rock which is about ten feet high, and about as steep as the roof of a honse, if you are fortunate having a good mule, he will climb it like a cat, but if a poor one, in all probability he will make the attempt two or three times, and then perhaps fall over back and pitch you head formost OVer cragged rocks and stones, but never mind this discomfiture, rise and try itonce more, recollecting that you are bound for that country where gold flows down its rivers and 18 mixed with the sands of its arid desert, and you will forget uouble and vexation of spirit in the golden pros pect. As you again climb the mountain side your shall remain two days to coal and water; my next will be from San Francisco, in which I will give A description of the beautiful and placid Pacific, until then adieu. viow is magnificent beyond description After one of the most tedious rides I ever had, for the same distance, reached Panama at seven, hav. ing left oarly in the morning and pursued our journey almost without intermission during that time. A lady who was on board the Philadelphia, and who accompanied us the first day up the river, had declared while on board the Steamer that she would not so far forget womauly propriety 86 to unsex herself in the presence of gentlemen and wear the pants, she said she had never done so in the States and she certainly would not now, when she was about to visit her husband alter all absence of nearly two years.

She had a bit of a battle with the gentleman under whose care she was placed, in reference to her capability for riding over this road on a side saddle. She commenced doing so, and had rode but two or three iniles in this way, hardly reaching the bad or worst part of the wav, ere she commenced crying, and jumped from the mule, declaring she would walk the balance of the way, as she could not ride so any longer. Her friend assured her that she would have to mount like the gendemen, but to this she pertinaciously refused, until finally he told her there was no use of making any more ado about nothing and mount she must, which she did after a good crying spell. She caine to the conclusion that discretion Was the better part of valor, and rode the distance without farther trouble. After she arrived in Panama she laughed most heartily over her first a tempt at riding straddle, and she accordingly paid her bottle of wine, which was on a bet made before starting; and ever alter when the subject was broached she would join most heartily in the taugh.

It is perfect foolerr for Ladies to attempt to cross on this road on a ride saddle. It may be done ou the Gorgona road, and possible on this, when in a good state, such as it is during the dry season, and such as it was when 1 crossed it 1 April, but at this season of the Year it is impossible. 'The California left Panama on the 3rd with good load of passengers, and the Sarah Sands the then America, which WAS to have sailed on the 7th, and hardly au American was left tor 15th and probably did, and if with a load must have waited until the Ohio's passengers had reached there, A8 there wore not more than one hundred men left there when we sailed. The speculation in tickets had entirely ceased, and they can be bonght here now for about one half their originul cost in New York: those which cost $150, from Panama, were sold as low as $80, and many who have bought on a speculaton at a cost of froin $300 to $400 now acI tually sell them at the above price. There are any number of steamers now on this side, inore than enough to carry away all who may have the California fever and come this route, and my advice to them would be not to purchase their tickets until they reach Panama, as they will then have 8 choice of boats, not only in accommodations but in the first to leave.

I most sincerely hope that no one will attempt to take Howard Son's line, unless the therner should be there, as she is the only boat worth speaking of which that Company have DU this side. 'This boat, on which I am taking my slow and tedious voyage to San Francisco, should be taken from this line immediately and assigned her old berth 011 the New York and Liverpool station, as she is only fit to carry freight and emigrants, and the latter most assuredly she will abuse if they have the least particle of the milk of human kindness in their constitutions. Messre. Howland A-pinwell have two boats which leave eemi-monthly, and on them you are sure to be carried through in twentv days after leaving Panama, stopping at five ditferent Ports, affording a first rate chance of seeing all the Ports on the Pacific. M.

O. Roberts has two good some boats two or which three leave more are about daily once a expected month, from and New York. But a short time will have elapsed ere the price will be much lower than it now, and in justice to the traveling public this should be so, as the priee has most outrageousty exorbitaut, as Messrs. Howard Aspinwell have just shown, by having paid for all their boats and divided fifty per cent. on their original capitol.The day has now come when passengers must be coaxed, not driven, like, much live stock, with contumely and abuse heaped upon them, untii forbearance has ceased ty be a virtue; and it now remains for thein to take the staff in their own hands, and such they are already doing.

This letter I shall mail at Acapulco, where we Yours truly, CHAMOIS. P. S. -We arrived in Acapuico ou Sunday, the 17th, found the Cholera here, and since our arrival it has broken out on a Brig bound for Cal ifornia with about 200 passengers on board. Sho was compelled to mako this port on account being short of provisions, owing to being (u forty three days from Panaina.

The Small Pox' has made its appearance on our boat, and ol course has created much excitement; how much farther it will extend remains yet to be seen. our situation is rather critical at this time.

SACRAMENTO CITY, Aug. 29th, 1850. Friend GRAY: -The overland emigration is now arriving by thousands. They are worn out by fatigue and starvation, have lost many of their teams with most of their baggage, and soon after their arrival the most of them are attacked with a diarrhea or dysentery, which runs them hard, and in many cases inflamation and feter sets i in which soon carries the patient off--a victim to his folly for leaving his comfortable home to get a more." The reports in the California papers are like electioneering stories in the States, about one truth to ten lives. Some are fortunate and make discoveries of rich deposits, a and when discovered they are claimed and worked out by a few, and do not benefit the many any more than a farmers' farin in the Statos would benefit the Irish emigrant.

I will venture to say, with. out the fear el contradiction, that take all that will arrive this season, their nett earnings on the aggregate for a year to corne, will not amount to fifty cents per day, say nothing about their sufferings and tax of mortality, which is very great. I have had good health the most of the time since I arrived, and have done well. But I happened to get a lucky start in the beginning, and built me a store and fixed up things comfortable, to preserve my health. Our city has been in considerable commotion for a few weeks past, the difficulty arising between the sellers, or squatters as they are styled here, and the speculators on the other side, about the real estate; one claiming a right to their possessions 28 Government land, and the other a title from Suiior, a matter that must ulimately be settled by Congress.

In the heat of the excitement several lives have been lost, and I was fearful at one time that a general engagement would be the result, which if it had taken place would have been A bloody one. Each party ere contending for what they deem right, and, although poace is in a ineasure restored, I should not be disappointed to see another ontbreak before the matter is settled. and God ouly knows Early where last it spring may I end. foresaw the difficulir aris. ing and urged upon some of out men in Congress immediate action oil lund cluims in Califorbia, and if there is Good shed through their tardiness, tho sin will be on their heads.So far I have endeavored to act as peace makers between the parties, and would to God that I had influence (nongh to keep peace.

hope never to witness again such hostile feelings between brother Americans. As to taking part in warlike engagemeuts, I think I shall not do it, I would rather reserve "myself for home consumption." I will look for vour paper in due thne. Respectfully yours. ZAPIINA LAKE. the Plain The great Audia Rubber Caso Decided, NEw YORK, Oct.

10, 1850. FRIEND GRAY: -The great India Rubber case of Goodyear ts. Day, was terminated Saturday, by a verdict in favor of Mr. Day. This is the first jury trial ever had between the parties, whose litigation have eatended over six tears, at a cost of fifty thousand dollars.

This verdict has a peculiar operation. It annuls all claims set up by Goodyear against Day, enher on patents or tho joint and mutual covenant of the parties, up to about the first of January, 1849, and leaves Mr. Day to prosecute Goodyear for damages on covenant, and this as stated, with him, for infringement of Day's patents. The infringements have extended for a period of nearIv years in the manufacturing of shirred goods, by use of Dat's machinery. rielding a profit to the parentees of $300,000.

for all of which they ale liable to respond in damages to Mr. Day. Counsel for plaintiff were Seth P. Stapies, Gov. Pennington, J.

W. Dickinson and Wm. Judson. For defendant, Gov. P.

D. Vroom. E. S. Van Winkle, George Clifford and Grorge Vroom.

The closing argument for plaintiff was made by Mr. Staples, and for defendant by P. D. Vroom. In the U.

S. Circuit Court, in the case of Goodyear rs. Dav. a new trial was moved for by the plaintiff and refused by Judge Griers, and judgment was entered for Day on the verdict. Yours, as ever, C.

Daily, city subscribers. $7 00 Mail 6 00 8 50 Tri-Weekly, city 3 Mail 2 00 A Whig Legislature--How Elected. Notwihstanding the Democrats have elected their State ticket, the Governor and Canal Commissioner, by majorities ranging from eight 10 trelre thousand, showing the strongest popular vote ever given in the State for Democratic men and measures; vet the Whigs have succeeded in carrying the Legislature. How is this? How comes it that the people have so emphatically and by so large a majority declared for one set of measures, and a Legislatare is elected the roverse of what they wanted? How is it that in matters of legislation the minority thus rules the majority? We answer. In the first place, the Whigs apportioned the State, gerrymendering it in such a rascally manner that with the popular vote ten thousand against them they could carry the Legislature.

They have put counties together in such a way AS make the most of the Whig vote, and swallow up and throw away the Warne Democratic and Ashland, vote. two For instance, they' put strong Democratic counties, together, and make them elect a Senator with 2,000 votes spare. But Trumbull, which is slightly Democratic, they put with Geauga, strongly Whig. was at the time of apportionment, which makes the District always safe for two or three Whig members. Again, Erie county.

Democratic, is not allowed to elect either Senator or Representative alone, but must be coupled with Huron, Whig, which as a matter of course gives them two members of the Legislature, where they should have one, They evon went so far in this Whig portionment as to split the county of Hamilton in two, in order to get a Whig Senator and two Whig Representatives out of that Democratic Gibraltor of the State. But this splitting county was found to be sore business, and rather than to have their whole gerrymandering Law repudiated, the Whigs themselves voted to old Hamilton from its provisions. With this advantage in the apportionment they wont into the contest this fall, and what have they done? With their old allies, the Banks, they have pitched into the doubtful Districts and carried them in every instance, the rascally Banks and this rascally apportionment, working together for our defeat. In this way and by means WA are beaten in the Legislature, will be mis-represented by it. Its legislation be dictated by the minority and not the majority.

and the people have got thus to suffer until a apportionment is made. The Fugitive Slave Law. The question is not whether this be a good or bad law. There is but one opinon in this tude on the subject. But the question is, Shall we resist its execution? The Herald says nay.And why? Because this law has received the sanction of the President, and he is therefore bound by his oath to see it faithfully executed.The South have a right to demand of him the full powers of the Executive to see this law enforced, and they will demand it.

Thero is no mistake about that. Whoever, then, opposes the execution of this law, arraigns himself against the Executive, and that would seriously interfere with the -butter arrange. ments of the Herald. Of course, it is wise in that journal just now to talk patriotically about the "supremacy of the laws." See article on this subject in another column. Gov.

Ford on Giddings. Two years ago evory GIDDING3 man in the State voted for SEABURY FORD, as a good enough Free Soiler for them. Had they not done so, FORD would have been beaton at least ten thougand. Now see how awfully cheated were there Free Soilers, and how ungreatful is old SEABCRY. A correspondent of the True Democrt says: Burton gave Irad Kelly a majority over Giddings.

This is residence ot the Governor and Chief Justice Peter Hitchco*ck, and is a disgrace tc the State and A township that would not vote for Giddings under the stances, should be annexed to Texas at once, for her people are not fit to live in a civilized and Christianized community," Good--served you right, you most verdant, easily sucked in Whig Free Soilers. Go on, trusting in W.igs, and you will be whero tho Whigs want you. Sad Accident. A girl by the name of ELIZABETH JONES, whose parents live near Nursery 011 the St. Clair road, was killed in the paper mill of YOUNGLOTE HOYT, about one o'clock, to by being caught in a set of miter wheels.

The wheels were running near the ceiling, in a room unoccupied by the girls, somo nine feet from the floor, ann making about one hundred revolutions per minute. There was a pile of sacks to within about three feet of them. She, in a frolicksome mood, ran up 011 the sacks, and as she raised herseif, brought the back of her neck in contact with the wheels, and was instantly killed, her neck passing between them. She had on at the time a sun- bonuct, which prevented ner seeing her danger. As we expected.

The Ohio State Jonrnal telegraphs to the Cloveland True Democrat, that, "we hare elected -half the Legislaturo without counting Run. dall and the Trumbull members." This puts WILLIAMS aud LYMAN in the whig category.All right: The True Domocrat, (what a libellous name!) exultingly says, "There will be an anti- Demooratic majority in the Legislature." Go it, coons! Arrival of the Hutchinson Family. We are happy to perceivo that this popular family arrived in town this morning -all in good health and spirits. They have taken rooms at the Weddell House. We learn that they go to Elyria.

Oberlin, Norwalk, and Sandusky City, next weck. ter which, they push on directly to Detroit, Chicago, not stopping atany but the largest cities and towns. They are wending their way southward, to visit a brother in southern Illinois a few concerts in St. Louis, then up the Ohio, on their way home again. Wood Hats.

Quite a display of these "new styles" are now in exhibition in this city. Almost overy Demo crat has one, set down to Whig accout of courso. The Herald concern has furnished us one, and we intend to have half a dozen more or fight. Walk up gentlemen, as we have been in the habit of doing for the past six years.
