The Galveston Ncrs, of the 3lst ult. speaking Of
letter fIom Mr.. Peoples, commander of a COM
pany from Corpus Christi, speaking of his company,
while at Preside Grande, says:-A large num-
Der OF the men were unfit to go to California by
any route, and will be unfit to stay there if they
ever arrive, unless they get some situation in the
shade, and IN the neghborhood of a cologne lake;
men who know nothing Of life beyond the measur-
ing OF tape, the handing out of needles and thread,
and such like occupations real manhood would
scofn to engage in" In relation to the route
through Mexico, Mr.. Peoples says:-'' Had it not
been our intention to go by the Paso del Nortc,
ana on American territory, circumstance which
occurred here few days ago, would have induced
us to turn to that point. A small party of Amerl-
cans asked permission of the acalde to go through
the country VIA Montcova and Chihuahua, and
although they exhibited their passports from New
Orleans TO enter the country that functionary did
not consider that he had the power to grant the
request"

Persifer +. Smith Mining Company and Carson
Association, who arrived here by the Nerumbega

set Of fellows, and clothed and equipped in a
manner that bespeaks their intention to rough it,
The former is composed of thirty-ve, and the lat
ter hirty-four members. The Carson Association
have concluded on going by way of Houston and |
Austin, and two members Of the company have |
gene on to make the necessary arrangements. II |
IL probable that the other company will take the
same route.
