the Typographical Engineers, attached to the ar
my Of the West, under Gen. Kearny, followed
the course of the ella, from the mountains of New
Mexico westward. He speaks of gold at several
points along the way; and at one point, where the
river Prieto comes into the Glla he gives the fol-
lowing story
"As the story goes, the Preto comes down from the
mountains, freghted with gold It's sands said to
be full Of this precious metal few adve nturers who
ascended this river hunting beaver, washed the sands

From The Pittsburg Gazette.

THE past summer (ls47) has been a very remarka-
l. bic one. Frequent and heavy rain followed by
intense and long continued heat had the effect In IN
hrst place, To promote rapid growth OF succulnt5
vegetation and in the second To produce a rapid de-
composition o. vegetable matter giving rise much
mias.na and spreading Sickness disease and death,
in ,es which had heretofore been remarkable for
their sa.abrliy.
We are credibly informed, that whole meadows,
on which the grass was unusually heavy, rotted to
the ground and not tt to be cut In Indiana and
Illinois, the sickness was general, that there was
not enough well persons 10 attend upon the sick,
whose sut rings were prctracted by want of prop
err remedies as well as OF good nursing. Much OF this
suffering might have been prevented, had every fam
ly kept hand supply of medicines suited TO coun
teract the effects of this miasma with which the
mospheTe at certain times Is surchaTged. In addi
ton TO Quinine, (which Is in such general
need no comment,) we would strongly urge every
family to keep on hand one or more boxes OF "DR
