the vessel she proved 10 be the English brig
Ant. from London bound to Vera Cruz AZ

POETRY.

How little true Poetry is written. Verses,
rhymes, stanzas. couple,s are common enough;
but your real word-panting, which heightens re-
aliiy, makes latent truth palpabe and tangible,
and creates by its touch panorama of beautiful
images and ideas TO delight the mnd-this faculty
is, alas, how rarel 1t is by the merest chance
that the following poetic gem has been snatched
from oblivion The writer, unknown to us, is now
destined never more to be unknown to fame.
This graphic ode to General TAYLOR, we learn
was written for the Piatteville Taylor Club; and
whether we consider the rhyme, the harmony Of
numbers, the power of delineation, the force of

Mr.. PARKER, one of our merchants, who
has corresponded with a gentlemen in St.
Louis, on the subject of California, has
permitted us to publish the following letter
in reply to his inquiries:
ST. LouIs, Jan. %, ls49.
ID. t. PARKER, Ese.-Dear Sir: Your
favor of the 18th inst, is at hand. We
learn that that Col Fremont had some SUR
yeys 10 complete, and did not take the best
route, which is by the South Pass. The
South Pass is better and shorter than any
other and roads better. Both OK aud mule
teams are used. Mules are more expensive
but can travel quicker, and with light wag-
ons mules would probably make the "trip 50
days less than oxen. Best time for starting
is as soon as grass is high enough TO feed
the cattle--about the 10Th of April. There
will be trains starting from Independence
it is probable, until after the first of July.
A company of 80 resolute men would be
likely to go safely through The old route,
but generally about double that number have
gone including women and children.
We think your friends who are going win
find no lack OF company on the road, as
there are very many gu;ng 10y the overland
route. We enclose u strip cut from the
Republican published to-day, which contains
much information on the subject. Mules
are preferable to horses, so are oxen.
Very respectfully,
DOAN, KING < co.
