Hon. GEORGE P. MARSHA cor respon-
dent of the Tribune, writing from Washing
ton, under date of March IS, says:
GEO. P. MARSH, of VT, is spoken of as
Charge for Naples. His pretensions are more
moderate than his qualifications. As schol-
ar, he has few,if any, superiors in the country;
as a man of liberal ideas, none. Our nation
would be honored in his appointment to a
much more important position. The Neapoli-
tans cannot fail to be struck with the contrast
between him and his two immediate predeces-
sors, Coils. Polk and Rowan. They certainly
had and have their points of distinction-but
different far from his.
The Montpelier Waterman has the follow.
ing:
GEORGE P. MARSH is named as a candidate
for foreign mission under favorable auspices
and We trust the President will find it consist
ent with his duty to make an appointment
which will be highly satisfactory to Vermont
and we believe to the whole country. Mr.
Marsh is pre-eminently qualified for such sta
| ton.

3. Actor oil New York recently received sew
eraI letters signed E. K. Eastwood, threat
ening his life if he did not pay $4,000 TO a
person who should call for il AT his house on
a certain day. Mr.. Asior finally became
alarmed, and consulted The Chief of The Po-
lice relative 10 the matter. The officer ad-
vised him 10 pay over package Of spurious

more favor from the Democrats Of New Eng

Democrats find particular consolation in the
following language of Mr.. Meredith, Oh the

1.-THE triumphant manner in which the peo-
pie of the Commonwealth, and in an especial
and remarkable degree the people Of Schuyl-
kill County, have indicated their right at the
recent elections, not only shoes a determination
that the principles Of the Tariff IF AZ shall be
restored, and that their Industry shall not in .fl-
tue, be sacrificed to suit the rie,rs Of political
pdTtizdns, but exhibits in a strong light the
fact that the people cannot be long deceived,
and that they can and will enforce the due re-
sponsibility Of their public servants"

MATRIMoNIALs IN CALIFORNIA. The
proportion of males to females is stated to
be five to one, and there have been more
marriages in that region within the last
few months than in the last ten years pre-
vious. The Indian squaws are represent
ed as finding bur little difficulty in OBJ
tanning white husbands. A lady there, in
writing home, says she has been informed
by Catholic priest, that he had married
in one month hundred and ten white
men to squaws. Some of the most ugly
and slovenly servants have married ira
ders, who have accumulated fortunes in
week. She concludes her letter thus
A woman who comes here with one
tooth in her head, has great capital to
begin on in the matrimonial line; and I
thought if a cargo of girls were shipped
from Lowell here, it would turn out great
speculation tc some enterprising Yankee.

LETTER FROM MR.. CHARLES N
SIMMONS.

We have been kindly permitted to m,lo
the following extracts from letter of Mr.
Simmons to his friends in this place, wr;,,o,
en- route for California-on the seventh dax .r
ter leaving Vera Cruz.
JALAPA, Mexico, Feb. 7,.1s4s
Here am at Jalapa-the healthy c;t.
but having little time to look about, can
not tell you much respecting the place. Tho
city is built upon the side of hill, and 7
should think, very pleasant. The streets are
narrow and crooked, the houses built in tho
old Spanish or Moorish style, with court in
the centre, and ale very curious looking build
ings, you may be assured.
We were in Vera Cruz one day, bu. vero
very busy in getting ready to march-for
march it was, from Vera Cruz to this place
We were unable to procure but five horses for
twenty-five persons; so we shouldered our
guns, and tramped. For our baggage, we
bought two wagons, and mules sufficient TO
draw them. The first day, we started at ; p
NJ, marched six miles, and camped upon the
sand-We shall procure horses here sufficient
for the whole company.
Vera Cruz is entirely different from what
expected. The streets are regular and well
paved, and are kept perfectly clean. The ef
fects of the American balls are still to be seen.
The country is very hard, and is not cuItiva-
ted. The people are very INDECENT. most of
them, and live by robbing. None of our COM
pany have as yet lost anything; but some Of
Capt. Hutton's party lost money and horses
which seems strange, well armed as they arc.
Yesterday, We saw Santa Annals residence
Saw Gen. La Vega at Vera Cruz Col. Ri
ley, who was punished by the Americans du-
ring the war, is here, and still, in the Mexican
service. He says he was unjustly punished.
We crossed the National Bridge, and passed
the battle ground of Cerro Gordo. The Ma
tional Road, which is about the only road in
Mexico, is very good. The bridges are far
superior to ours at housekeeping, almost.
is very high-food, clothes, and mountains.
The party have all been very well, and all
feel like going 0hedd-We start soon.

CALIFORNIA.

The demand for California news is so pressing,
and the public appetite so Unsuitable, that VIC have
concluded TO indulge our readers with choice
morsel of the ultra marvellous kind, in the shape
of letter copied from the Boston Traveller. Ihe
editors of that paper have no doubt that the let
ter is genane-and they even 90 so far as to be-
leve that the writer actually thinks be is all the
while within hang distance Of the truth. We
simply know nothing about it. There will be-
doubtless, as the man remarked when his veraei-
ty was called in question: various opinions about
that" Those who read must take the story for
what it is worth
According to the best of our belief, however
not every body that goes to California will find
that the same propitious stars smiled on their ma
tivity, as seem to have been in the ascendant on
the natal day of the lucky Mr.. Morrill,. A hun
dred thousand people, it is predicted, are to be
scattered, like sheep on thousand hills" over
all those immense gold regions, the coming sea-
son. Now if every one of these should get, "a:
Mr.. Morrill, rather indefinitely expresses him
SELF "a plenty of gold, what precious pile Of the
yellow metal is destined to be exhumed!
As to the exact point at which man may bt
said to have" plenty" that seems not so cas-.
to determine We would be very moderate in ou
wishes-say $4,000. To say nothing OF thos'
who would scorn such a fneagre pittance, let u
see how much an army of 100000 men woult
carry off, at the still lower rate of $4,000 apiece
only $1,000, 100000! Make any estimate yoI
will, either as to the number of emigrants, or tn
whole amount likely to be obtained, and it appear
