From CALIFoRNIA.-A letter from San Diego
dated August 3D. says the slavery question entered
INTO the election, and that the anti-sayeTy ticker
prevailed. There were 220 votes polled and OF
course many illegal ones.
The same writer gives the subioined account ol
the Boundary Survey aud of new river which has
appeared in the desert:
OPERATIONS have been commenced on the
boundary Survey. The astronomers and survey
ors have gone dowu TO the Southern point OF tbs
cost, and have commenced their observations
and exploring panies have been out 10 the noun
tains. A fortunaie circumstance has occurred
which will much facilitate their operations. A
river, now 20 yards WIDE and 10 feet deep, has
burst forth in the middle of the desert, the latte
% miles wide, between here and the mouth OF tht
| ella. The Indians are frightened al the rushing
noise and lay Il all to clos malditos Yankis.

from the National Intellsencer that the following
gratifying intelligence has been received at The
War Department from Gen. Twigg9:
An interview had taken place between an off
Ger of our Government and some CT the leading
mcn OF the Florida SpminOles, which resulted
most satisfactorily. II has been ascertained tha
the ouiragee committed on lndian river and PeasG
creek were committed by party at five yount
Indians, one Of whom was a refugee, who though
that he might escape from justice BY embroiiint
his PEOPLE in q war with The UnIteo States. Thu
Semiuoles disclairned all conne1ion vita the per
petritOTs OF the oulrsges, and stated that immedl
ately sfter the offence was committed on lndiai
rIVer an effort was made 10 capture he offenders
but that they no. taken until after the
outrage. The offenders are now in custody, how
ever and will IN due time be delivered TO th'
proper authorities. a meeting between the HeaC
Chief OF the Semiuoles and Gen. TwIgEs was ap
pointed 10 take place at Charlotte liaTb0T on th'
ism instant, and we may presume, therefore, tha
the interview has already occurred. That tn
Florida Indians are pesceaoly disposed is nov
considered beyond doubt.

A Nicaragua correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune gives the following descrip-
ton of the new kingdom of Mosquito"
and its monarch: 49,
sit is well known that, few years
since, the English Government, with a
view TO get control of the Isthmus, set
up a farcical Kingdom upon the eastern
shore Of Honduras, called the "kingdom
of Mosquito" The material of this
kingdom is small tribe of squa.iid Indi-
ans and Samboes, who have hitherto OBJ
tanned precautions subsistence by turtle-
fishing. The "KiEg" of this famous
people is little negro boy. with a taste
for the 'ardent" OF veteran topper; and
his sister, who, in the official correspon-
dence and in the documents transferring
Certain rights to England, calls Victoria
her s'beloved sister, is a dowdy ne
gress, quite promiscious in her inter-
course with drunken sailors, and well
qualified to shine at the Five Points,
The "King of the Musquitos" is the al
ly, and the "Kingdom ,eof Musquito" is
underyh protection of Great Britain
that is to say, that dignitied power is
pushing its encroachments upon the ter.
ritories of the distracted States Of Cen.

attention of the world from her selfish
designs. 'fhevboundariesHof the ling

PoRK CURING.-As it will soon be the.
season among farmers for killing or cu-
ring their pork. send you my receipe,.
which / have always followed, and my
father before me. You will observe that
it is short method and SIMPLE, which is
its chief recommendation. q
Put about four quarts of salt into an
ironkettle, which must be large enough
to hold a bushel or more, put it over a
slow fire, and heat it as hot as you can
hold your hand in it; put your ham, or
shoulder, or bacon THAT is to be) into the
the kettle, and rub it wei with hot salt,
especially those places not protected by
the rind, for about one minute, then lay
them on a board, so as net to touch each
other, and in q cool place; sprinkle them
over with about large spoonful of pub
verified saltpetre; let them remain a few
days. then pack them in salt. The niira
prevents them from getiing too salt, and
they will keep good and sweet for years.
