Bolivar had his battery placed, is in the rear
OF the town. Before the town was taken,
there was macademized road all the way
from Cruces to Panama, but Bolivar destroy

natives from passing-the consequence is,
the Caliiornians have miserable road TO 60

their interests. How provoking it is to think
that this little narrow neck ofland will keep
vessels out five and six months, which might
make the trip in so many days. And again.

WM, n. JOHNSON.

We shall, as before, act rs the mouih-picce
OF the whig arty, and at the same time act
as body guard 10 the National Democratic
paryt by sounding the alarm Oh the least iati-
nation OF hostility IN any manner from our en-
emies.--l Republican.
Is it possiblel Why what formidable
man it is. "As BEFORE" he is going 10 act as
the mouth piece of the Wing party! If he
should act "as behind" he would be in po-
sition better adapted to his peculiar qualifica-
tons as "mouth piece" If we have been
correctly informed, both publishers of the Re-
publican have acted in days by-gone TO the
extent Of their humble abilities as the mouth
piece Of Whiggery--and it appears they have
not yet forsaken their old principles, but now
stand ready TO assist Whiggery well as De-
moeracy. While we congratulate the Wing
party on the accession, we think Democracy
will have to take big gulp to swallow them.
But these enterprising young men are not
only going TO represent the Wing party. but
with characteristic boldness and generosity.
they have volunteered TO ''act as body guard
TO the National Democratic party" Noble,
valiant young men! The country looks down
upon you as her hope and her pride!' The
National Democratic party" takes you by
the hand as its saviors. and surrounded by
you as a body guard, fears not its enemies
Even now wildly before our vision we see
Clark marching with supicious eyes in adj
vance of the great National Democratic par
ty armed with roller. and Mcdonald in the
rear with alye-paiI, ready to sound ''the alarm
on the least intimation of hostility in any man
ner from enemies" Under this protection,
confident in its safety, we leave the National
Democratic party.

Yesterday we received two letters from
California, and one from Panama. Wepub-
lish the Panama letter to-day. 1t is from our
regular correspondent, now on his way to
California. He writes good practical let
ter, and promises to often favor us with his
correspondence. His numerous friends here,
will be glad TO understand that he is IN good
health and fine spirits. May he have pros

Tomorrow we shall give brief letter
from Stockton, California, written by " Don
Juan" We do not know who Don Juan is,
but think he need not be ashamed of his real
name, or fearful OF making his letters too
long.

The SoHopLMAsTER ABRoAD.-Yestsrday
quaint specimen Of rustic scholarship was found
where think you, reader? Not in the alcoves of
city library porting over letered treasures-not in
the dim recess of an old wainscotted-room adding
from worm-eaten volumes to his store of knowl-
edge-no, neither of these appropriate positions
can we assign to John Sampson, a pedagogue
from the mountain district Of the keystone
State" whose first appearance in the Crescent
City we are called upon to chronicle. Sampson
was found-alas for human progress-in the dock
of Recorder Baldwin's Court, mixed up with the
vulgar herd, and cheek by jowl with thieves and
pickpockets Tell it not in Gath, whisper it not
in the quiet glens of Pennsylvania, where for
eighteen years the birch welded with dignity,
and noisy urchins stopped midway in their glee at
the approach OF the dreaded master" Why did
thy evil genius lead thee to the sunny South oh
Sampson, and why did appetite drown reason in
the fatal bowl? Yet so it was, and ineapactated
from ocomotion by strong waters, the poor teacher
was taught the result Of departure from direct
path by finding himself conveyed to the watch
house. The Recorder, after slight admonitionin
the way Of fne let the luckless man OF letters go
free, who travelled from the contaminated atmos-
phere as fast as his clouded ideas know how
to shoot.
