SIR: The Californians in the Cudad de los Angeles
and town Of Santa Barbara being delighted with the
quick process some Of the American ders placed
In their had in progress of multiplying if by
steam many petty laws and endeavoring to change
their modes and customs without any why wherefore
annuled the conquest Of Commodore Stockton, and
again unoded their three oosred flag held the Ciudad

American forces 900 400 of the latter being
grants, who left Independence Missouri in May, lsl7
During the rise, there among the rifemen only
Mr. Burroughs and Mr. Foster of the
nah, ten twelve men, and two officers under General
Kearny and three or four Of the Congresses seamen-
There four Eve slight skirmishes during the
time In each few killed wounded. The
natives lost less than the Amer they often rode
up a swift horse, fired, and gallopod off,
The ports of Monterey and San Francisco did
any trouble the people there having other commanders
being friendly. At New Helveta, the Sacra-
mento, there Californians There the Spanish
language is hardly spoken. Our flag again the

grants arrived In San Francisco 200 Of them the
remainder in about 1870 wagons. The Mormons via
Cape Horn, and Governor Boggs via the mountains,
have had the pleasure Of again seeing each other
further
The emgrants have less trouble each year In crossing
the mountains, as the road becomes better The first
house rancho they generally reach belongs to Mr.
Johnstone Englishman who will this year with other
settlers be better prepared have provisions for the
new From Johnstones they proceed to Captain
Suffers By next October there win be other settlers
established in ls4s very many Even this year
the emigrants will not find at the Sacramento much
purchase. They should all bring more coffee and
sugar than they do, and take great of
their stores and oxen on the road. Horses
for the journey are worth but little; mules not
much small light oxen prove the best Many Of
the emgrants last year brought few goods which
were soon disposed By of the wars they sold
FFF powder in IS Id kegs $25 lead, IS cents lb;
CAPS SO per 1000 payable in Mexican dollars People
meet the wagons to buy up their articles also their
guns, swords pistols and rifles All the emigrants who
Joined Col Fremont obtained sale for their horses,
saddles and rifles and S25 per month for six months
Their chief officers, appointed generally among them
selves were Messrs Reading, Snyder, blackburn, Tai
bot King, Sears, Swift Bryant Hastings Jacobs Mir
ret, Ford Findley, Bidwell, Godoy and Wilson They
yet in armsthe country IL, however, all peaceable
Col Fremont the 18th inst, made treaty with the
Calforniaus by their request they giving up their
nons four in number and retiring to their homes.
We expect three four thousand emigrants will
reach the Sacramento this Very few Of those who
arrived in 1916 have had time to look for lands but
have hnda fine opportunity to the country at So5
per month, and very few entered the ranks because
that sum was object-sport and ambition to have a
fight urged on many; but they only the Califor-
mans at a distance-they not to be caught. A
Californian can get very good gallop out of horse
that American has turned loose, because he cannot
spur him out of walk the former carry the
behind him at thst. These Californans and their
horses know each other and appear have private
understanding together.
As an American Is pure descendant Of an English
man, he therefore, knows more than any else and
does not imagine native Of California can teach him
any thing and acts accordingly but get into
the trick Of riding double In gallop tired horse
