THE CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION.

The correspondent of the New York Express
states that intelligence has been received OF the
complete failure Of the expedition to California I'M
der Commodore Stockton. A letter addressed to
one of the Senators says that the subects" in Cal
lfornia have rebelled, and the command cannot get
at them to put down the Instruction
The Californans provokingly surround the head
quarters, though at a safe distance and look down
from the eminence they occupy, and yet will run
at every pursuit.-They are well mounted, tho
roughly acquainted with the country, fleet of foot,
and ready for murder, mischief Of any sort

nc The Augusta Democrat replies to our re-
marks oflast week i'm reference to a communica
ton, which was allowed to appear in that print,
and seems to regard them as a declaration of war
upon our part, and accordingly enters upon the
performance of, what it deems to be, its ''d,ay"
we have no desire. and hope we never shall
have, to participate in personal controversy, and
we further assure you We court not that notoriety
which would he gained by such course in the in
tellieent and enlightened community in which we
reside. We proiess to have some respect for our
character, as well as for public opinion, and so long
as that lasts, we shall refrain from engaging in
contest Of the kind to which you challenge us.
Advocates Of the White Basis have, through this
paper, seen proper to expose the Of their par
ty, and, if in doing so, they have intentionally, or
otherwise, wounded the sensbilites Of any gentle
man, he knows where TO find redress Not SO in
the case Of the person attacked by your worthy
correspondent. He is Eot here and none but an
arrant coward would take advantage of his absence
to lnfilct an injury upon him.
The communications Of .'Cato" and others, are
not SO scurr'ous as you feign to imagine, and the
question as to whether we have heart to feel for
Tor moment the attention Of a single individual in
the county of Augusta; but, at the same time,
we humbly trust you will reverse your judgment,
when we tell you we have several times attempted
to arouse the sympathes of our citizens in behalf of
that unhappy country. But what have all these
things TO do with the attack which has been made
upon person who has it not within his power to
vindicate himself? DO they justify it No. Then
we must drop them, and returning to our friend
"ostensible," we beg leave to say, we view the
defenders Of his cowardy attack in the same light
in which we view him.
There is one other matter to which we wish
merely TO allude, viz: our not having noticed the
remarks Of Mr.. KINNEY on the day of the discus
sion between Messrs. Gray and Mcdowell MIR.
H. dwelt principally upon certain communities tons
which appeared in this paper, and we thought their
authors were the proper persons 70 reply to them
lie did not intend what he then said as speech
that was to be noticed y the newspapers, but sta
ted that he rose merely for the purpose of declar
ing himself canddate.-We did the same thing
In our next paper, and we have no doubt, that gen
tleman considers our course altogether proper.

The Life and Correspondence Of Joseph Reed, Military

Congress of the United States and President Of the
Erecutue Council of the State of Pennsylvania -
By his grandson, VIM. 3. Observation-Disclosures, Lind
say & Blakison.
We have received from the publishers two handsome
~ printed octave volumes entitled above We have
not yet been able to give them the careful persa which
they deserve, and will no doubt richly repay. But we
have seen enough OF the work to convince that 1t
will take high rank among the recent publications con-
neced with the times of revolution, which have al
ready thrown so much light upon this most interesting
passage of our national history Indeed, the work pos
sesses great interest for all readers OF American history
for it is not mere biography of Gen. Reed, but well
written history in great measure from original unpub-
lshed sources The great value, indeed, OF the volumes,
is derived from the many hitherto unpublished important
letters and documents, either in the possession OF Mr.
Reed, or to which he has had access Many of Gene
raj Washngtons letters appear for the first time, and
also many OF General Greene's We shall hereafter, II
possible give some further account of Professor Reeds
work. and take opportunity TO lay some extracts be-
fore our readers.
