The ARRIVAL OF the schooner Sierra Nevada
Captain Edwards, on Monday last, 80 hours from
Humboldt, has put US 10 possession Of Interesting
| tdngs from the Trinity region.
IL will be rscolected that subsequent 10 the set
temen nj made al Humboldt and Port Trinidad. a
party OF exploration proceeded on foot from the
latter place up the coast, 20 the distance of about
thirty miles, where they upon river Of large
volume, emptyiDg INTO the Pacific. A party Of
mel n, however, had already located at the mouth
o. this river; but they ancabIy joined forces for
the purpose Of mutual benefit and defence ia the
explorations OF the main river, and It's principal
tributaries, which they Immediately resolved upon.
The hrst attempt TO penetrate the interior result
ed disastrousy in the death Of one Of the company,
end the return 81 the remainder To the settlement
st the mouth a the riyer. Our readers will recol-
ltot the particulars, as we gave full history OF
the transaction at The time.
Not dncoumgsd, however, by the failure Of this
attempt, the company resoluiely set 10 work To
carry out their original intention; and very soon
another company started mp the stream In boats.
This time they met with no accidents Of n serious
character; and they pursued their invesig atoms,
until now they are able 10 present the most accu-
rate sketch Of that much talked Of region we have
hitherto se,n. Mr. Ehrenberg, who came p4s-
senger by the Sierra Nevada, has shown a map
embracing, among other things, the river with iis
tributaries, large and small. nom which. together
with the reliable information impaired. We draw
the following conclusions in relation the locality
Of certain streams, which have 30 puzzled Their
seekers to find, or know when found

months has been called, sometimes the Trinity

Their conclusion that the principal stream was
none other thas the klamath, was drawn from two
or three facts that have much force. II sire tChes

explored the coast NO to q 90. without finding any
stream answering to the size &C the Klamath The
Wllsme,ts rises IN latitude about q, so that there
10 hardly q possibility hat another large river
should empty INTO the Pacific between the mouth
Of the Columbia and the point where the explors-
tons OF the Arabian csesed. In few days we
shall give Mr. Ehrenberg's reasons for this con-
clus on IN his own words, when the public can
judge for themselves.
The news brought down from the mines ia th,t
