impregnatcd with alkali, that it has ton
dency to keep off The devouring insects and
birds of prey. But the worst is not hal
told yet; to see every two or three hundred
yards grave, whcr father, mother, brother,
or sister, has been buried, but ere the train
is out Of sight, the corpse is disinterred by
the providing wolf or the savage Indian-!hc
bones to bleach upon the great American
Desert. Although | am rather a hardened
sinner, yet when l saw the scene as just de-
scribed, could not refrain from shedding
tears, and feeling myself more submissive

| THE SARATOGA OF CALrroRNIA.-The
Journal decides that this resort is to be in
the South, near Los Angeles, at the hot
springs, which that paper gives the following
description of. In this connection, we can
think of no better spot than Aqua Caliente,
place well known TO all who have visited
Los Angeles. Ii is situated about 400 miles
]
shore, on the rancho Of Hon. Mr.. Warner.
The warm springs from which the place
| takes its name, pushes from n large ledge
Of rucl,s, near the base Of the mountain, and
after falling a short distance, empiies into a
cool mountain brook, which has its origin in
the Sierra in the rear. This junction Of
cold and warm water creates an excellent
bathing temperature, rendered healthy by a
mixture of sulphur and other medical pro
pcrties. The Indians appreciate this bles-
sing very highly, as they have made re-
scrvoir for the water, and from morning till
night numbers may be found enjoying the
comforts of an addition. The morning is set
apart for the women and children, and the
remainder of the day to the men.
We clip the following from the Union: The
boat from Vernon night before last, brought

passengers who arrived in the shasta stag,
last evening, confirm the rumor, and give
the following Particulars: The Majors PTS

the ball went through his right thigh, entered

thigh.
