feeling of relief in the Commercial circles The
apprehension OF hos.ihties in Germany had ne
cessarily subsidized and the business world was
beginning to show more activity, Produce, both
foreign and colonial, sold more readily, and in
some instances rather higher prices have pre-
yailed.T The demand for Cotton had been more
extensive and holders had been able to o6tAia
rather better prices, particularly as speculators
have operated to some extent No change had
taken place in the Grain trade The continental
advices show an improved feeling in commercial

also more active, and good demand existed for

OLD BULLION is CAMEL

The following letter from Col. Benton to friend
in ST. Louis shows that he and his enemies are equal
ly indsposed to give or take quarter:
WAsHINGToN, Friday, March s, 1850.
DEAR SIR: | have had great many
letters from friends in different parts of the State in
relation to union with the Calhounites in the ensu-
ing elections; such letters are very Notifying to Inc
too much so to be answered was sounded up
on this point last Summer, when the articles We're
going through the Calhoun papers, for general con-
vention of the party, it was called to meet and
settle all differences. 1 answered instantly and
truly, that UOuld sooner SIT in council aCith the
sir thousand dead, lcho had died of Cholera in ST.
Louis, than go into convention ocith such gang of
ScGmps, and that is my sentiment to-day.
There is but one principle on which Democracy
and the Calhounites can meet in any election, and
that is the one which Calhoun said held the party to-
gether, ''the cohesive bond of public plumber" That
may be true of him and his, but it is not true of me
and mine; and will prove it during these elections
by standing clear of all connection with Them
will not mix with them, nor give nor take help. Let
them have their own ticket, and we ours. Let us
have clean ticket, a clean Democratic ticket-no
tant of CahounSm, 1. e. secession, Dsunion, Multi
hcation in it. Let them have their own ticket, and
elect 1t If they can, or defeat ifthey can. The
point is to defeat them. The public good requires it
inc hdilhony anu Tie Preservation OF the Union re-
quire it.
The Missouri elections, this year, are a turning
point in the drama of Disunion The Dsunonists
count upon Missouri. They believe they have the
State, and that belief embodens them in the highest
degree; success IN election will confirm it; there
fore they must be defeated and if confined to their
own ticket they will be defeated City and County,
State and Federal, Congress and ALL they should be
put to their own ticket, and be made to congregate
by themselves We shall be stronger when they are
gone, and what is more, we shall be clean-no timid
calculations about losing elections; we may loose
some few, but still the great point will be gained
Calhounites will be put down, and even the election
of Wings will be triumph over them-a victory in
behalf of the Union land that is the oyerruling consd
Grafton at present.
Fear of seeing Wings elected can have no effect
upon me, under present circumstances-not even
fear OF seeing Wing elected in my own place.
am for the country and the Union and the country
and the Union require Cahounism to be exterminated
In Missouri; and am for the determination as cour-
ageousy the Calhounes are for the dissolution of
the Union, sat all hazards, and without regard to
consequences.
People ask me here why do not speak? / tell
them when was at the bar never interrupted the
adverse counsel while he was proving up nv case
for me.
This letter is not for publications but not for con-
cealnent Friends may see it.
Yours truly, THOMAS H. BENTON.

The INDIANS OF CALIFORNIA A Mr.. Del
ano writes to the Ottawa (Lll) Free Trader as fol-
lows:
Near each rancho is generally village of Indians
lhey are dark skinned, nearly as dark as negro
covered with DUST living upon acorns, wild fruit and
hsh. They have nothing of the noble bearing of the
Indians east OF the Rocky Mountains, they seem to
be only few degrees removed from brutes. Their
dwellings resemble almost exactly large coal pits
where wood Is charred; pit is dug in the ground
circular frame work is built and this is covered with
DIRT SIX or eight feet high, with small hole at the
base to creep In and Of and another at the ton to
let out the smoke You will always see numbers Of
men sitting on the tops of their hives summing them
selves, while the squaws are generally engaged in
preparing their acorn flour, or in weaving baskets
and pans, IN which they are very ingenious. They
make them perfectly water-tight Their acorns arc
dried, then pounded fine and mixed with some kind
OF berries, making kind of bread which is bv mo
means unpaatab.e but it requires a man with the
courage TO eat rattlesnake, to taste it. In fact a
man must cross the Plains before he can summon
resolution to eat 1t, especially after seeing them pre
pare IT. The men are very expert in spearing sal
mon, OF which there is the finest here ever saw and
very abundant. They are now frequently emploved
IN the mines Tor mere trife and such generally con-
trlve to get SHIRT, and few get rich enough to buv
coat ana pantaloons, but since the rains have set
IN have seen hundreds ofthem wadinp the streams
for fish, or travelling on the plains naked and nav
ing no more regard to the wet chilly storm than
dumb beasts. In the valley they are now inofIen-
slve as the number of whites ovelawe them. but in
tne mountains they sometimes give the miners from
Die and some collisions had taken place. Those in
the mountain are treacherous and unsafe and will no
until they become acquainted with the power and
the strength OF their Anglo-Saxon neighbors.

CHEMISTRY OF THE STARS. This sinpulor

TRUMAN II. Stafford. When the late DIR.

men In all Great Britain who could read the work

der the tuition of Prof Pierce, of Harvard College,
uses the Mecanique Celeste as text book He is
Ia years old, and expects in about year and half
to complete his course in Analytical Mechanics. He
Is In advance of the College course and has but one
fellow pupil. Upto the present time, young Stafford
has fully realized his early promise Of extraordinary
powers as geometer but the growth of his BODY
does not correspond to that of his intellect, and fears
are that he snot gaining that robust health
winch contributes so much to the efficiency ola strong
mind. Should he, however, under careful physical
training attain to vigorous health and mature wears

out this broad nation-in our hearing sir, that adj

an address which involved our institutions in danger

others hostile to the purposes of that address, and
