Friend Bliss AS our vessel will not leave
for few minutes, will drop you few lines
to tell you Of our Whereabouts, &C.
We left New Orleans on the 9Th inst, on
board the good schooner VIM. Thompson
Cowell, master; and fine fellow he is-a
gentleman, and an experienced seaman; kind
and attentive to his passengers. Sixty-fve
persons, including one young lady, left New
Orleans in the VIM. Thompson, and not &
case of sickness occurred. They were from
nineteen different States, and most of them
merry fellows; they had bill Of amusement
for each day; it opened as follows: In the
forenoon, all kinds of games; after dinner
and smoking, the afternoon amusement would
open by Jumping ropes; next, dancing By ne
groes Ned and Bill; and conclude with a
camp meeting. during which there would be
much singing, ezhorting and praying; after
supper, cotillion party, and games; and thus
most of the passengers passed the time. Oc-
casionalIy crowd would get together and
talk over California matters, and count the
pounds of gold dust as if they had it in hand.
think by this time, friend Bliss, that you
must believe some OF the reports from Cali
fornia, Notwithstanding your great prejudices.
Several gentlemen have arrived here from San
Francisco, having from SI5O,00O to $500, 600
worth of gold dust each, and they state that
the reports received in the United States, are
not exaggerated, but will bear an addition Of
twenty-five per cent.
If our friends have not left before YOU re-
ceive this, urge them to take at least six
months provisions, and more if they can, as
flour at the mines is 500 per bbl., and other
things accordingly-then take many wag-
ons as possible, rs they will be Of great val
ne in Transporting provisions.-These men
say, that at San Francisco laborers get 81 per
day and board.-One man who had an old
scow for the purpose of lighting vessels, has
already sent home $50, 0OO.-But l am only
wasting time in telling you these things. you
being an unbeliever, not having faith in things
past, present, or 70 come.-I was very agree
ably disappointed in Chagres; from what l
had read of the place | supposed it 4 very
sickIy, filthy place. But not SO. At pres
ent, it is very healthy, and presents beauti-
ful appearance. There are about 800 huts,

THE cAMANcHrs AND THE LrPANs


The Washington (lrk) Telegraph says that
the Lipans and the Cananches have made descent
upon the Texas military post in the Cross Tim
bers near Red River, and stole hundred horses
from the Rangers.
The Iipans and CaInanches had united. for the
purpose of attacking the trains that may start IN
the spring from San Antonio and chihuahua, and
from Independence Mo. for Santa Fe and Callior-
MA They told the trader that they would re-
main OF the Texas frontier, killing the Inhabitants
that may be thrown in their way, and stealing
Their property, until the grass sprung uP, when
they would move of and make their preparations
TO attack trains from the above places. The trains
from Arkansas. he told, would not be ulolest-
ed
The Camanches have singular idea Of our
government. They look upon Texas as poT-
tion OF Mexico, with which government they have
always been at war, and upon Missouri notas
part OF the United States, but as government
within ITSELF They express a dislike to the PEG
pie of Missouri, and determination to attack any
trains starting from that state.
The trader, informant states, that lie endeav-
Ored TO convince them that by attacking either OF
the trains they were fighting the whites bat they
refused 10 listen to such an absurd story.
