A letter dated Vera Cruz 24th ult, says that it
was reported that the people of California had
organized Government which disavowed the
authority of Gen. +. Smith as Governor, and an
nulled his orders prohibiting foreigners working
at the mines. The PIcayune expresses a doubt
at this statement.
A mutiny had broken OFT on board the U. s.
Ship Ohio, and 30 of the leaders confined in ir.
ons to be tried by court martial.
There was much dissatisfaction in the NAVY
All the officers Of the sloop of war St. Mary had
been tried by Court Martial except 2. Owing
to the vast number Of people arriving a. San
Francisco, the whole country was considered in
very insecure state. There was great wnnt
felt for the presence of m adequate military
force, and Tor the extension of the laws of the
United States over the territory in the absence
OF which much trouble was anticipated. The
price OF everything at San Francisco is still We
ry high. The discovery of new and rich depos-
It's OF gold is daily occurrence. The reported
discovery of gold placer in Oregon is not con-
firncJ.
The preceding winter had been exceedingly
severe, both in California and 10 Oregon.
Several meetings had been held m San Fran
cisco tor the purpose OF opposing the introduce
ton Of Slavery into the country, with view to
put 10 greater profit The labor OF the Indians.

1t is ndisputabe that the great object of the sur
vey is yet unaitained. Three things mentioned
in the last number, demand an appropriation,
above all the fGnat Report Of the State Geoogst.
For the amount OF money spent by the state On The
Survey, great amount OF WORK has been done.
by those, who are familiar with such operations,
this has been repeatedly stated and only such
as are qualified 10 Judge, tor they have the means
Of comparison.
The state Of N.York has expended on its Sur
vey over S400,000-the State of Massachusetts
several thousands. The Survey IN both these
States embraced other subjects uf Natural Histo-
ry. That OF Vermont is confined to It's Geology,
aud the immediate and practical application Of
the knowledge obtained by the explorations Of
he State Geologist. The small Appropriation Of
q few thousand dollars has been made to accom-
plish great end.
This is seen only partially in the Annual Re.
ports. They are not the place for the full geuer-
al development. This is appropriately the object
OF the Final Report, tor the forming Of which
the whole Survey is merely the acquisition OF the
materials.
The people of Vermont need ony knowl-
edge OF the parts, to be fully convinced that the
first object OF the Survey. Ire knociedge of our
Geology, has not been affected, and cannJt be
affected without the Final Report.
The thousands already expended have brought
the Survey to a certain point,and at less expense
than in any other State. 1t can advance no far

CALIFORNIA.

OVERLAND EXPEDITION TO CALIFoRNIA-Al-
lusions have been made heretofore to the over
land expeditions to California, which have been
in the course of organization for some time past
on the Western frontier of Missouri. The Ler-
ingion (Mo) Express of the LIST inst. speaking on
this subject, says: 1t is estimated that between
40 and 10000 animals (muies, oxen and horses,)
will be taken to the plains the present season by
the California adventures. Thousands of this
number will most certainly perish. The past
Winter having been unusually hard, stock is
generally thin. The chilly days of the past
month have greatly retarded the growth of the
grass. No doubt the weather has been colder
on the plains, and the grass less advanced, than
here. Poor ANIMALS Heavy loads and short
grass will most certainly produce the cholera
among the teams. Many companies will lose
stock to such an amount that they will be com
PEELED to leave both the wagons and the freight.
We are informed that in lS47 abont 1900 wag-
ons attempted 10 cross The Rocky Mountains, on
The Oregon route. SO great number Of the an-
lmas pershed that many of the wagons were
abandoned. This year not less han 10000 wag-
Gus will make the attempt, but hundreds and
hundreds will be abandoned. If the summer
should be cold one, as the prospect now seems
10 BEL and grass is scarce the road from our
western boundary to the gold region will be
thoroughly marked with the carcasses and bones
OF mules and oxen. Trouble and distress will
certainly be the portion OF thousands OF the adj
venturers.

REMOVALS AND APPOINT
MENTS,
REASONS FOR REMOVALS.

The Patriot intmates that Postmaster Reed
was removed without cause, not being las the
Patriot alledges,) an active politician; ana tha'
Mr.. LYMAN was appointed because he was q
Wbig speech. maker. Is the Patriot sure that
there is no good reason for change, other than
active craftsmanship? If there is none, on what
ground was il that the Patriot junto intended, in
case of Coss' success, 10 remote Mr.. Reed from
the Post Office, and pu. one Of The publishers Of
the Patriot in his place? Was it because Mr.
X. was not active enough in the ocofoco SER
vice. and that the Patriot man tOould b.? If so,
the Patriot has no right to complain of Judge
Coamer for removing even an inactive loco and
putting in an active Wing. If it was for other
and good reasons, then it ought to confess that
the removal was Just. This is our answer to the
Patriot. We are not apprized Of the reasons for
the change here, AID have therefore no com.
ments 10 make upon the matter. Every citizen
Gun Judge Tor himself from his own observation
there we are willing to leave the case.
word as to removals generally 1t has been
heretofore stated, and beyond doubt, correctly,
that no man will be removed from Office without
good cause specified in the application for re.
movul: such as active partnership -incompe-
tency- uniathfulness, land we take it that lazi-
ness, careIessness, neglect or The lack of a spir-
it of accommodation in postmasters is unfath-
fulness,) and objections growing out Of the time,
manner aud purpose of the appointment, such
for instance ns the cases where appointments
have been made by The late administration since
the last Presidential election for party purposes.
These are just grounds for removal and we
have no hesitation in saying that where none Of
these grounds exist, and where the people are
satisfied with incumbents and desire their con-
,inuunce, The Department ought not and will not
interfere. In a consistent course upon these
principles, The Department deserves the spproba-
ton Of the public. 1t is just what. the Wings
had right to expect ircm Judge Collamer, and
they at least ought to be ready to sustain him in
il,
