Mons OF THE MINERAL RIcnEs OF CALlrossIA.-

MopE OF THE MINERAL RICHES OF CALIFORNIA
WIN. M. Stewart, ESQ.,, formerly of Georgetown,
ID. c., but for several years past citizen of Cali
fornia, has shown us q specimen OF the bituminous
coal recently discovered In that State. The beds
from which tho piece was taken are situated in a
range of hills parallel to Suison bay, sheet of
water divided from the Bay of San Francisco by the
Straits of Harquinez. and into which the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin discharge their waters.
The discovery Of these coal deposits was made in
the course of scientific exploration for that mine
raj. The beds appear to be most extensive and
valuable. about seven miles from Benicia, and they
are stated to be within half mile of water
rage. The lands containing the coal, so far as the
deposit has been developed, belonged to General
Vallejo, but have boon purchased from him by par
ties who are making preparations for mining, for
the purpose ofsupplying the steamers WHY ply in
the waters Of California and on the Pacific. The
United States mail steamers have their principal
station at Benicia, and If il is to become, may
be expected from its position central point for the
internal steam navigation Of that region it s evil
dent that the value and importance ofthesc mines
must be very great.
MIR. Stewart has also brought specimens of the
sandstone which is found at and about Benica Its
specific gravity is said TO be greater than that of
any other variety of the same stone heretofore
known in the United States. 1t is Of light brown
color pleasing to the eye, and is coming into gen
sral use, in the vicinity where il il found for build
ing purposes. II is also used for grindstoncs and
whetatoncs.
If the supply of these two articles is abundant
AZ IL now supposcd, they may be looked upon as
the guarantees OF the continued and increasing
wealth Of Caliiornia.-NeW York Evening Post.

Of the West. She saw Washington as he led his
broken army through the Jerseys, and as he
turned in triumph from Yorktown. OF this re-
markable woman the Frankfort Commonwealth re-
marks:
"Her tenacious memory retained all that she
had SEEM and che became the chrouicler of her own
times, and Intervene her narrative with traditions
of the past Providence had been kind to her in
all his dealings with her. He had blcst her with
strong mind and constitution, and with great
checrfulncss and courage. lie had blest her in her
basket and in her store. He had blest her in her
children; and at last when the messenger came,
having borne all tho trials of long and cventful
life with heroic frmncss, the result OF n conscious
ness that her time had been well spent, and ola
firm reliance in those Christian promises and hopes
which che had made hers by faith and practice,
she died in the Sul communion and fellowship OF
the Presbyterian church, of which she had been
long an exemplary member"

The Tehuantepec Expedition.

NEW ORLEANs, May 10, 1851.
EDIroRs PIcAyuNx; The Tehuantepec Commit
tee have directed the publication Of the subjoined
official report Of Major Barnard, received this
morning per barque Gerard. In communicating
this very satisfactory result of our efforts t gives
me pleasure to add that letters were received by
the same conveyance explaining the vote OF the
Mexican Senate heretofore referred TO. II seems
that the telcgraphic despatch which was received
some time ago in New Orleans, announcing. by
mistake, the rejection (nstead OF the raf.fcatio')
Of the treaty by Senate, was forwarded to
Mexico, and the Senate of that republic based its
vote on this erroneous statement. A soon as the
truth was known the vote was reconsidered, and
the subject referred to new committee, which
has not yet reported.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. p. BENJAMIN,
Chairman of the Managing Committee.
