The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-08-26
From Ms 81. louis Republican.


BY private letter, which We have been favored
with through Government express, we have re-
ccived dates from Fort Laramie of July %, from
which we make the following extracts
The gold-diggers have now all disappeared
amongst the Blacks Hills, with the exception OF
now and then one who makes his appearance,
looking If he lost or rather expected TO be
too late 10 tea. The Mormons are now pushin q
along, one hundred wagons having passed to-day
There will bc about eight hundred and fifty Nor
ley of the Salt Lake. They will average about four
persons 10 the wagon
"Thc supply train for the post was expected in
shout five days, and the train OF Livingston *
Kincaid. for the Salt Lake, were also expected in
few days"
Colonel Sumner, with his detachment Of fifty
men, was TO leave the fort the 18th for the Ar
kansas, where he will meet the remainder of the
command. From the above, we suppose the court
martial lately in session there had got through
and dissolved
The vicinity of the fort on the night of the 2ith,
was visited with violent storm, terrible even for
that open and exposed country. The writer thinks
old Noas shower wasn't patching to this, so long
as it lasted.
A postscript to this letter gives US gloomy ac-
counts from the overland emigrants. 1t says
"Onc or two men from Oregon reached here two
days ago and represent that the emigrants already
begin TO suffer greatly, chiefly for the want OF pro-
visions. A large number Of their animals have died
this eide of the South Pass, and many of the emf
grants foot" The writer goes on to
express the most gloomy approximations to the
condition OF many OF them in crossing the Sierra
Nevada, and concludes with the remark that he
cxpects to hear such accounts Of their suierings as
will make all good Christians say their prayers" As
tho writer's means OF knowing the condition OF the
emigrants ample and intimate, VIC attach
much importance to his expressions, and shall look
forward with great soiciudo for further intelli-
gence

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY.
Through Passage ia California.

| F@k THE pnblic will be gratiiied to learn
| NEIrbLt' that the United States Mail Steam
chip Company are enabled to
nounce that their arrangements are now complete
for sending passengers through from New York to
San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this company to meet the
wants OF travel to California, by providing ships on
the Pacific, in connexion with their ships from New
YORK to Chagres, they were prevailed upon, at the
urgent solicitation of the grea. number then de- sir
Gus to go out to sell tickets for through passa gcs
from Panama IN advance, for their ships then 90
ing round This done from desire 10 accom-
modate those who could procure passa ges in no
other quarter, and by which, whatever might be
the detention, they would reach San Francisco
sooner than by any other h.e. Unforeseen diff
cuities, and the prevalence Of fever at Rio Jancro
at she time, prevented their ships from reaching
Panama as soon az was anticipated and caused de-
ention AZ the lathmus, which was increased by the
Impaucnce OF the passengers in going forward.
against the advice OF the company, ut an earlier
day than the ships could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed. Three
OF the four ships of the company, intended for the
Pacific service, have arrived at Panama, and seve-
raj OF them nave performed trips to San Francisco
and back; SO that the company are now able to
give the public the assurance that the voyage
through from New York to San Francisco will be
performed with regularity and despatch
The Pacific Line, from Panama to San Francis
CO, consists of the
REPQBtiC, Captain Hudson,
COLUMBUS, Captain Peck,

ANTELOPE, Captain Ackley
Their Atlantic and G ul. Line, from New York
TO Chagres of the
GEORGIA, Captain Porter, U. S. N.
ONO captain Schenck, U. S. N.
FALCON, Captain Hartstein, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, SO that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma will arise
Their large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chagres
in .v,I x.i.s.x A..

rapid and pleasant through passage to California

From pretty extensive acquaintance oil over
the State, and no little personal observation, do
not hesitate 10 affirm, as our own deliberate con
viction, that the foregoing statement is candid
and reliable exposition Of our financial condition
And the significant fact should be borne in mind,
that the above calculation docs not embrace over
= OOO 900 collected in our ports by the military
officers OF the General Government, Of import du-
ties, which, upon every principle Of justice and
equity, rghuuly belong to tho people OF California,
and which we have an abiding confidence Congress
will in due time award to In view Of the hnan-
cial resources Of this State indicated by these facts
we feel authorized in saying TO the world, that come
veal come wo, every dollar Of her Indebtedness TO
tho last iarthing Of principal and interest will be
promptly redeemed and that there is no such word
IN her vocabulary reputation. II becomes, then,
every true citizen at least every American TO stand
by and sustain the government, organized and in
stitutcd by themselves, by ready ard cheerful
cooperation with the authorities, in the mainte-
nance Of law and order, by the payment of his just
quota OF taxes necessary for its support and by do
ing whatever s in the power Of each to protect the
public credit.

Financial Resources Of California.

II has been a matter of the protoundcst gratihca-
ton for US to know that, amid the elemental strife
which has been raging among our Atlantic broth
concerning the admission OF California into the
Union, the foundation of her financial prosper
ity has been laid upon broad and permanent ba-
els, and one, too, not dependent upon the contin-
gency whether she shall be admitted lew months
earlier or later into the sisterhood OF states
The inquiry has frequently been made OF US,
What resources the State rely upon TO meet her
present engagements and the current expenses Tor
answers to these inquiries, supposing that all here
who had taken the slightest pains to do 60 bad al
ready amply satisfied themselves upon this head
For the purpose, therefore, of informing our
friends upon the Atlantic sids as wsl as to check
any undue disposition TO speculate N our stocks
and depreciate them below their actual value, we
are happy to have it in power 10 lay before our
readers the following exhibit Of the debt and re-
