Interesting Account of Santa Fe.

The Tuscarora (Ohio) .4duocate, has a
letter from Santa Fe, undef date of May
3lst, giving the following interesting des-
cription of that place and vicinity, from
one of party of emigrants:
Santa Fe look like large brick yard
the houses like unburnt kilns. The peo-
pie are lazy-the country around noun
famous, and covered with snow-nothing
like farm to be seen. The Mexicans
Ibring in a kind of dried grass that they pull
up in the ravines of the mountain, and sell
a small arnIful for so cents. Corn Sc per
bushel; coffee 25 cents per lb. Most of
the articles for sale are from the States.
The MeXlcanS are now our countrymen;
but they and the country are no acquisi-
ton. They spend their time in card play
ing, drinking, smoking, and at fandangoes.
We were at a fandango at San Miguel;
and while there, our party had about $500
worth of property stolen, consisting of
horses, mules, blankets, &C., &c. The
Mexicans are great thieves. They will
cut the buttons from your coat at fam
dango, or anywhere among crowd
Goats and sheep are plenty. Goats milk
cents per quart, and goats milk cheese
l2a cents per pound. Wood is brought
from the mountains on the backs of dom
keys, and sold for % cents per load
There are thirty or forty stores in Santa
Fe, kept principally by Americans. The
society is deplorable. All the houses have
earthen floors and look unusually mean
and dirty. Nothing would tempt me to
live in such a miserable country of igno-
rance, superstition, dirt and poverty.

all the rest to San Augustine. Indian riv-
er is rather sound of the sea than run
ming stream; and the settlers made their
way to San Augustine in boats, where the
news created great deal of excitement.
The settlements upon Indian river are
some forty or fifty miles distant from the
tract of country assigned to the Senlinoles
remaining in Florida. From this cireum-
stance it is feared that the murder of Bar
ker is the beginning of concerted out,
break. No other corroborat!ng proofs
have reached the Government; but the
war department has made preparations TO
despatch sufficient force to the country
re-repel the Indians, if they contemplated
other hostilities, or TO bring the murderers
to justice, if this is merely the violence OF
few stragglers."

New DIRK, July 80.
The Herald publishes batch of letters
from California calculated to dampen the
ardor of Gold Hunters. Our correspon-
dent says:
When the last steamer arrived at San
Francisco it had on board $50 passengers,
100 of these Immediately returned on see
ing the state of things. He met on his
return from California, on his road from
Mazatlin to Mexico large numbers of A
mericans, who were in the greatest misery
before getting to Mazatlin, as their money
was exhausted before they got half way.
Several Americans have Joined the Mex

but they had been joined together.
The average profit of digging is five
days expenses in four days. Most OF the
emigrants are compelled to sell their things
on their arrival in San Francisco, as by
that time their means has become exhaus-
ted.
The 'Gaviata,' paper published in Le-
hec, is paid from the Merchants sixty dol
lars, to give glowing accounts. The ac-
counts published at the Mexican ports are
greatly exaggerated, the papers being in the
pay of spectators.

two dollars day in the States, not to 60

Several vessels have been lost on the
coast of California.

The Indian Outbreak in Florida.

The Washington Republic, of Friday,
has the following official statement of this
subject, but it will be seen that nothing is
said, as yet, of the burning and sacking of
houses:
"At the close of the Florida war. the
Seminole Indians remaining in the penin-
sula were assigned as a temporary resi-
dence, track of land lyingibetween Char
Iotte Harbor ard the Lake Okeenhobec.
Gen. Worth, who made this arrangement,
in 1922, reported the number of warriors
left in the country at less than 100. In
Is45, Capt. Sprague, who had been act
ing in Florida, in the stead of an Indian
agent, reported the number of warriors at
| ess than 13O; and estimated the entire In
dian population, of all ages and sexes, at
something short of $50 souls. Since that
time, we do not know that any report OF
the number of Indians in Florida has been
officially made.
"The recent reported outbreak of the
Seminoles has arisen from the following
circumstances: On the Atlantic side OF
the Peninsula, some four families were
settled upon Indian river, nearly opposite
Fort Pearce., Four warriors visited this
settlement recently, where they were re-
ceived in friendly manner. After re-
ceiving refreshments they departed; but a
short distance from the houses they dis
covered a man by the name of Barker, and
another working in an open field, upon
whom they fired. Both Barker and his
companion were wounded. They ran, Ia
king different directions. Barker was
pursued, overtaken, and killed with knives.
The other reached the settlers houses
and succeeded in making his escape, with

New ORLEANS, July %.

The rumor of the defalcaton OF MIR.
Wilkinson, Cashier of the Canal Bank, to
a large amount, turns out to be unfounded.
We are not, at present, able to say how the
rumor originated.
The abduction of the young Spaniard,
from this city, continues to animate our
Spanish population, and excite the indlgg-
nation of our American citizens. The
Spanish Consul, Senor Carlos de Espana,
and two accomplices have been arrested.
1t is said, on good authority, that the Con
sui, after having made arrangements with
the captain or consignees of the schooner
Mary Ellen, which had cleared from the
custom house, for St. Thomas, went to
house kept by man named Morante,
where Juan Francisco Rey, the young
Spaniard, in company with some friends,
were enjoying themselves. Their bever-
ages were drugged, and Rey. in state of
stupor, was conducted by the Consal and
his accomplices, to carriage near at

The Kind of EuniS.

The following letter from Mr.. MATHEWS
Superintendent of the Scnuylkil Level,
shows the kind of funds furnished by State
Treasurer BALL, for the laborers and 9TH
er creditors of the public works, and fully
sustains what we have alleged of him on
that point.-West Chester Democrat.
July II, lS49.
To n. STRIcKLAND-Dear Sir:-There
has been much dissatisfaction expressed
by the hands on the Columbia railroad
at the kind of currency in which they
have received their pay for the month o
May, and many of them, understand
impute the circumstance of their receiving
torn and ragged relief, with uncurrent o.
hio and Virginia paper, instead of the new
issue, which they have right TO expect,
u the Superin en- lent of said road.
My object in addressing you on the
subject is to place the matter in its proper
light, and state facts as they fell under my
own observation. On the 10th of the
present month, | accompanied the Super
intendent of the Columbia load to the
Bank of Pennsylvania, with draft from
the State Treasurer, for five thousand dol
lars. On presentation of said draft by
oOi. liIC L SllCl fOl
time, and returned with his arms filled
with the most filthy looking lot of ragged
relief notes that have seen, after an ex-
perience of two years.
In answer to the question from Col.
English, Have you no better money to
give met" the Teller replied-"We have
special instructions from the State Treasu-
rer to pay no drafts of officers on the pub
lie works in new ISSUE
Col. E. enquired the motive that gave
rise to the instructions. The Teller re-
plied-.sI do not know the motive" Col
E. remarked, that it mattered not wha
the motive was, the operation was tl.e
same, viz: compelling the hands in the
State employ to receive torn and deprecia
ted money for their labor, when they hae
right and did expect, from the action oI
the Legislature, to receive new issue.
The President of the bank subsequently
informed Col. English that they had new
issue, but it was reserved to pay the Au
gust interest.
Truly yours, WIN. 4. MATHEWS.

Rioins on the Railroad near Cumber,a1d.

The last Cumberland Mountaineer says:
"a spirit of rloting amongst. the hands
on the BaltImore and Ohio railroad, west
of Cumberland, appears from all accounts
to be on the increase. : During the whole
of last week, rumors of various kinds were
atioat concerning the dangerous situation
OF particular parties-the peril and danger
contractors were in, and the. detention Of
the work consequent upon such state Of
affairs. On Thursday gang of fifty or
more assembled and marched up and down
the line for five or six miles, threatening
all who did not leave off work, or who
had not the honor of being native of the
same county or parish in Ireland with
themselves, with death and destruction.-
1t is also rumored that .thefts are being
committed on the farmers, in the way Of
robbing spring-houses, hen-roosts and gar.
dens."

doubtless all obtained by beggery, and an

A short time since, officer Link served

few articles of furniture, including that
chest, to be thrown into the street, protes.

which amounted TO but three or four dol.

CASE OF ToTAL DEPRAvrrY.-Howev
er much mankind may differ and dispute
about the doctrine of total depravity,' we
are sometimes, though we are glad to say
seldom, compelled to behold an instance,
where humanity has sunk into the depths
of degradation and depravity, so appalling
ly low as to settle forever this disputed
point. Such case occurred a few DAYS
ago at the hospital in this city. A sick
Irishman, who had fallen under the care
of one of the city physicians, was found in
hut almost destitute of furniture, and
with no bed to lie upon but large box,
with blanket spread over it. He had
suffered severely with cholera morbus,
and had drank liquor thirteen times thai
day. The physicians had him removed
to the hospital, and having provided him
with food, and other necessaries, left the
mans wife to nurse him; very shortly after
the doctor left, the wife gathered up all the
articles that had been procured for hel
husband, carried them to the nearest gros
shop, and pawned them for whiskey, will
which she returned to where her HUSBAND
