Gov. Graham,s Letter.

The letter of Gov. Graham declining the nom
nation of Vice President on the Webster ticket
in North Carolina the Richmond Republican re-
marks, is worthy of the man, and of the great
Wing cause, Of which he is bright and shining
ornament. His testimony in relation to General
Scott's position on the Compromise question, is
honorable to himself and to that illusrious hero,
and will satisfy all candid Southern Wings,
who have not prematurely and irretrieyably
committed themselves to ON attitude of hostility
to Gen. Scott, that there is no sounder man on
the Compromise in the whole Union than the
Wing candidate for the Presidency. Gov. Ora
ham, the acknowledged friend from first to last
of the measures of adjustment, declares that
Gen. Scott was equally jealous and more infu-
ential' than himself in supporting this national
pacifcation in its hour of trial"
R6g~ The Massachusetts, Convention met at
Worcester, Massachusetts,, on Wednesday, the 1st
instant. The great City Hall Of Worcester was
filled to overlooking with enthusiastic Wings.
Nine hundred and ten votes were thrown for can
didate for governor, of which John Henry Cliff
ford, of New Bedford, received nine hundred on
the first ballot Mr.. Clifford is, at present, at
torney general of the Commonwealth and is
man of fine talents and great popularity. His
associate, as candidate for lieutenant-governor,
is DR.. Elisha Huntington, mayor of Lowell, who
will bring much strength to the ticket. Upon
the list of electors are the names of Robert C.
Winthrop, Robert G.. Shaw, and Amos Lawrence.
The Wings of the Old Bay State, the New York
Tribune remarks, will do their duty to the full
Be sure of that. The names of Scott and Ora
ham were received with perfect tempest of ap-
plause. The Webster sizzle is scarcely heard of.
Massachusetts is set down for Old Chippewa by
plurality of twenty thousand.

Arrival of the Falcon.

Tiro aceeks later from California.
The U. S. Mail steamship Falcon arrived
at New Orleans on the 29th ult., with San
Francisco papers of lst September. We
extract the following items of news:-
Major James Savage was killed at Kings
river on the oath ult., by Capt. Harvey, who
commanded the volunteers in the late Indian
expedition. The peculiar relation which
Major S. had with the various Indian tribes
in California, and the influence he had over
them, renders his death great loss to the
State.
! A train of thirteen wagons arrived at
Yreka from the Plains on Wednesday, 25th.
Five families came in with the train. They
bring intelligence of the murder of eight men
between Humboldt River and Yreka. 1t
seems that nine immigrants left Humboldt
/ for Yreka, and when within six days trav-
ell of the latter place they were attacked by
the Indians and eight of the party were
killed. The survivor overlook and came in
with the train Of wagons above mentioned.
We take the following statement from the
San Francisco Journal.
Mr.. Barlow, formerly publisher of the
National Era, paper published in the inte-
rior of Illinois, called upon us few days
since, and stated that he had just arrived
from the Missouri river, having footed the
entire distance across the plains, without a
companion, save row and then, bearing up
on his back the little clothing requisite for
use during the long journey. He was lOl
days making the trip, and was compelled, on
several occasions, to stop and work for
means to assist him to the end of his jour.
ney. He says that he passed numbers of in
dividuals trudging along with wheel-bar-
rows and handcarts.
The San Francisco Herald, of the 18th
ult., says.
Lieut.. Moore, U. S. A., during an Indian
expedition, proceeded into the heart of the

This they called Mona lake. Into il empty
five or six fresh water streams, one or two
of which are of considerable magnitude.
The lake itself is alkaline, and contains
no fish; its margin is encrusted with salpe-
tire and other salts, and it is situated on the
borders of the Great Salt Lake basin.--
There is a great abundance of water fowl,
geese, brandt, and duck on the rivers, and
on the plain an infinite number of hares and
other game. Near the lake grows the teche
te mere, which the indians subsist upon
There is also in the neighborhood grouse as
large as turkey, and Lieut.. Moore sue
ceeded in killing specimens Of this as well
as other species of game, which are now at
Fort Miller. The land is very fertile oil
the borders of the streams, but the plains
are generally sandy and arid There is a
great profusion of oaks and pines, suitable
for building purposes. The most impor-
tant features in the discoveries that have
been made is, that il is now positively GER
tain that gold exists beyond the Sierre Neva-
da in great abundance, and Lieut.. Moore
has brought with him rotten quartz very
richly infused with the precious METAL
He proceeded some seventy-fve miles east
of Mona Lake, and found the country all of
the same character-large timber, beautiful
fresh water streams, whose banks were
clothed with the most luxuriant verdure,
mineral deposits and mineral springs. The
mountain region on the eastern slope of the
Sierra Nevada is very precipitous, and is re-

canic origin, There are three or four ISL
ands in the lake composed entirely of lava.
The company took several Mona Indians
prisoners. They appeared to be very much
frightened at the appearance of white men

from the rest of the California Indians
They speak a very different language, have
strongly marked Roman features, and are
almost white. 1t has before been stated
that white race of Indians lived beyond
the mountains, but the fact has never before
been positively ascertained.

From the Isthmus.

BY the Falcon we have received files of
the Panama Herald and Panama Star to the
18th ultimo.
GENERAL ODASpo has been elected Pres
ident of the New Grenadian Republic.
Great excitement exists at Panama in re-
gard to the discoveries of gold on the 18TH
mus. Major Doss and Mr.. M. L. Sonnet,
of Alabama, were induced to take a trip
down the coast, on an exploring expedition,
convinced that they had ascertained the To-
cality Of extensive gold beds.
These gentlemen have returned to the city,
bringing undoubted samples of the genuine
article; and fromthe report they make, there
can be little doubt as to the existence of
gold in large abundance but very short
distance from Panama.
The Star says:
Every day the people through Panama ap.
pear to become more and more excited about
the recent discoveries of gold made in the
neighborhood, and even the lethargic natives
are bestirring themselves and anxious tc
procure an interest in any company that may
be formed to explore the mines.
One or two projects are on foot for the
establishment accompanies to proceed to the
mines Immediately, and the probability is
that in day or two a good number of spec
ulators will be on their way TO this new Ell
Dorado.
The parties who have made the discovery
tell very straightforward story relative
thereto, and the samples of gold which they
have produced with letters which they
have brought from very respectable native.
in the neighborhood remove all doubt as tc
the existence of the precious metal in abund
ance not far from the city.

1t is an important work. The counties
of st. Louis, st. Charles, Lincoln, Warren,
Montgomery, Galloway, Boone, Audrien,
Howard Adair, Randolph, Schuyler, Shell
by, Macon, Rails, Pike, Monroe and other
counties, are deeply and vitality interested in
the road. But in order to ensure IFS sue
cessful compilations, II is absolutely essential
that the people Of those counties should now
act--and act promptly and with energy
Strong and vigorous excrtions must now be
made or the enterprise will fail.
There can be no delay-now is the time
for action-united action. To ensure the
success Of the work measures must be ta-
ken for the speedy organization of the COM
pany, and the subscription Of stock so that
the cooperation of the State may be secured
at the ensuing session Of the General AZ
sembly.
In conclusion, we again earnestly and
cordially invite all who are interested in the
North Missouri Railroad from St. Louis TO
the DesMoines Valley, in Iowa, TO meet
with us in st. Charles, on WEDNEs
10th NOVEMBER Next. Several speakers
have been invited, and every effort will be
made 10 make the occasion pleasant and
agreeable to all concerned.

To the Friendes of the North Missouri
Railroad.
ST. CHARLES, Mo-, Oct. 1852.

At meeting of the citizens of St. Charles
county, held at the Court House in the citv
of st. Charles on Saturday last, 1t was unan-
imousl y resolved to call Convention of the
friends of the North Missouri Railroad, to
be held in St. Charles on Wednesday, 10th
November next, and the undersigned were
appointed Committee of Invitation and
Correspondence.
In the performance of the duty assigned
them, the Committee take the liberty strong
ly and urgently to request the people of st.
Louis, as well as the several counties along
and near the line of the contemplated road,
who were Immediately and directly inter
ested in this great enterprise, to take eifec-
tual steps, either by public meetings or
otherwise, TO secure large and full attend
ance at the Convention.
While the people of other portions of the
State are wide awake to their own interests.
and actively engaged in the great enter
prizes of the day, shall we remain idle?-
Shall we sleep? If the people of the sever
al counties who are interested in the North
Missouri Railroad do not wake up and at
tend to their own interests, they will very
soon find themselves very far behind other
sections Of the State in prosperity and
wealth, and they will make the discovery
perhaps when it is too late to rectify the
error.
The proposed road will extend from the
city of St. Louis TO the rich, extensive anc
populous valley of the Des Moines, in Iowa

settled, rich and fertile portions of our STATE

value of our farms and other property

it is confidently believed that il will weld
better profit than any other road in tn

ST. Louis Correspondence.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 8, 1852.
St. Louis is at present infested by horde
of thieves and robbers. From every quar-
ter of the city comes up daily, fresh reports
of extensive and daring burglaries and rob-
berries.
Yesterday, a gentleman from the country
was seeking for the residence of a relative,
well known citizen of this city, when two
Of the light fingered gentry, well dressed
and apparently very civil and courteous gen.
tlemen, kindly volunteered their services to
show him to the house, and under pretence
of conducting him along the nearest route,
took him into lumher yard, knocked him
down, riAed his pockets of about $500,
and left him to be picked up by the first
passer-by.
A Jewelry store, up town (on franklin
Avenue was entered last night and robbed
of jewelry and money to the amount of
near $4,000.
A thief entered state room Of the Mar
tina Jewett, yesterday morning, and relieved
a passengers pockets while he was asleep
of some several hundred dollars. These
, are but few of the prominent items in the
criminal line that have come 10 light. AL
most every grade and species of crime is
+ being perpetrated here at present. An I'M
: natural son, on yesterday, stabbed his mother
several times, and dangerously, for the re-
fusal of money to support his dissipation
vice and villainy. She had supported him
) in idleness for months past by the labor oil
: her own hands, and for the refusal of con.
, tinuation of this support he murderously en-.
f deavored to end her existence. But the
worst crime remains to be told. A German
girl of respectable connexions came to hel
death on last Sabbath by taking poison. L
A is rumored that the conduct of base sedu
e Ger led her to this rash act A promise o
marriage had been made to the girl; also t.
her connexions Cher father and mother being

marry her, when instead of redeeming o.
o offering to redeem his promise, he spurnet
