Snn Diego Bay.

From the San Diego (California) Herald Of
the LIST of May we extract the following Off
cial report of Professor BACHE, of the United
States Coast Survey, in regard to the depth of
water and general capabilities as b.rbor of the
Bay of San Diego, on the western coast of the
United States:
"From the perfect shelter it affords from all
winds, and the depth Of its water, San Diego bay
is considered. next to San Francisco, the best on
this coast That such a large volume Of water
should, have such a small outlet is somewhat re-
markable, is also the very singular natural
breakwater, Ballast point.
''The port La Playa is situated on the western
shore OF the bay about mile and three quarters
from the entrance. The anchorage is between nine
and ten fathoms. Tho custom house is placed
here, and it is also the place the mail steamers
stop. An excellent road leads from La Playa TO
Old San Diego, which is a small town Of few
adobe houses, and unapproachabo by water, even
in boats.
"New San Diego, now about year old, is stu
atcd OIL plain al the base of the hlls the east
side of the bay. II consists of American. built
houses, and large storehouse for the Quartermas-
tcr's Department. The United States military de-
pot is established there. A channel runs in curve
from La Playa to New San Diego; and vessels can
carry from six TO seven iathoms Of water. Both
New San Diego and La Playa are dependent upon
the river at Old San Diego for their water. BE.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-07-19

tween the above named channel and Old San Die
go are large flats, mostly covered with grass, and
partly bare at low tide. The most important sub
ject however, connected with the bay, is the effect
of the debouchement of the San Diego river, bring
ing with 1t, when high, Tin the rainy season.
great quantities OF sand directly into the channel
alt is believed, and apparently with reason, that
unless the course of the river be changed, the
channel will be ultimately filled, which will have
the effect, think Of not only cutting of commu-
nication with New Town, but also Of destroying
the bay entirely harbori for it appears that no
thing keeps the bay open but the great amount OF
water flowing in and out at the narrow entrance,
and, when the channel is closed, the greater part
of the bay will be cut off, leaving insufficient
amount to keep the entrance clear. bar would
doubtless form across the mouth, and the bay would
gradually fill up.
"That the river does bring sand into the bay is
asserted by the deputy collector Of this place, and
others who have the means of knowing; and, fur
Their, it ia known that vessels ut one time could
anchor in False bay; but the river flowing into it
it by filling it with sand, and it then
turned its course into San Diego bay. 'r
elf such be the facts, and ! see no reason to
doubt them the only remedy for the evil is to turn
the river into False bay again. This s an excel
lent harbor, and its loss would be severely felt.
Respecting the tides, Mr. Gray gives the average
rise and fall as six feet, which is approximately
correct. The pilots tell me that the tides vary in
their rise and fall, from nine feet (spring tdes) to
three and half during the year.
"About two. thirds of the way from the Playa TO
Ballast point 10 shoal, having nine feet of water
at low tide, but lately discovered.

At a meeting Of the clerks of the AdjItapt Gen.

chair, and RICHARD M. HANSON appointed sccre-
tary.
The following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, II has pleased an inscrutable Provi-
dence suddenly to summon from the scene OF bis
usefulness in life, and the bosom Of devoted fam
lily, and many friends, Major General ROOFS
jones', Adjutant General Of the United States
Army, we, the clerks of the Adjutant Generals
Bureau, being desirous Of recording our sense oil
bis virtues, and our sincere regard Tor his mcih-
oty, do resolve:
That we deeply dcplorc this affecting dispcnsa-
ton, by which the public, and more especially tho
burea u over which General Jones for many years
presided, faithfully, ably, and impartiaily' have
been visited.
That having long known and appre slated his
character the ties which bound US to him OIL
ciallv have not been severed without deep and UNI
affected sorrow; and that cherish with chasten.
ed pleasure the remembrance Of his kindness and
courtesy, and HE numerous virtues, public and
private 900
That to HE afflicted family our abiding and cor
dial sympathies arc respectfully rendered
That in testimony Of our aflectionate regard for
the memory of General Jones, we will wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
That a copy Of these resolutions be transmitted
to the family Of the deceased; and also TO the pa
pers Of Washington, Gcor gctown and Alexandra,

Another Set. of.

Mr.. FoRsYTH's declaration that Mr.. PIERCE's
nomination was the work of the Fire eaters
is not entirely satisfactory to all the leaders Of
that section of the Democracy. The Athens
(Ga.) Banner, one Of their mouthpieces, thus
summarily disposes of the whole contemplate
form and all:
"WHAr FARcE!-The Federal linton and
Augusta Constitutionalist come to our exchange
table Haunting their fre-ea ting electoral ticket for
Pierce and King, and Of course for the platform
upon which their candidates have been placed by
the National Convention. That platform is ad-
herence to the Compromise final settlement Of
the slavery question. What a farce it will be to
hear such electors advocating this platform before
the people, after their late opposition to it. Upon
this subject they are actually demoralized 1t
would be literally committing the lamb to the
guardianship of the wolf. No, it will not do.
The natural guardians of that ,latform are the
Union Democrats, who have maintained it in the
teeth of the opposition of those who are now put
up as its leading advocates"

General Cass at Detroit.

From the Detroit (Michigan) Free Press, July Ia.
General Cass arrived here yesterday morning.
II is we'll known that he has been to Kentucky with
committee of Congress, to pay the last tribute Of
respect to the memory of the illustrious Henry
Clay; and it will be subject of congratulation to
the people of Michigan to know that he came
amongs. US in season to join the throng of mourn
ers in the funeral obsequics of the deceased phian
thropist and statesman.
We regret that General Cass finds it impossible
to remain in the city for more than day or two
No statesman returned to his constituents and
found warmer hearts to welcome him. The whole
city and State would be rcoced at the opportunity
to testify their confidence in his integrity and bis
devotion to their interests. Public duties, which
for forty years he has scarcely ceased for moment
to discharge, demand his presence in Washington;
and the delicate and mournful service in which he
has recently been engaged for bid that he should
even turn aside TO meet bis political brethren,
whose nobiest and truest advocate, in Michigan
and the Union, he now is.

NIA-Mrs. Fillmore, Miss Fillmore, and Mr.. NJ
p. Fillmore, waited upon at Old Point on
Monday, by Captain Breeze, the commandant Of
this station and invited to visit the navy yard and
the magnificent ship of the line Pennsylvania. On
Wednesday morning, Miss Fillmore and Mr.. M.
p. Fillmore, accompanied by party of ladies and
gentlemen, embarked in the steamer Engineer
Master Olmstead commanding, and arrived at the
navy yard before one o'clock. Mrs. Fillmore, in
consequence of indisposi,ion, did not come up, to
the regret of all. Upon landing. the party was re-
ccived by Captain Brecse and his officers, and,
after visiting the different departments, partcok of
very handsome collation. at the residence of the
former The party afterwards visited the Penn
sylvania, Captain Saunders, and inspected that
splendid floating palace. After hearing some fine
airs from the band Of the Pennsylvania, they
embarked, when the rigging was manned by the
gallant tars, who gave three cheers as the Engi-
neor moved of in handsome style on her return to
the Point.-N Norfolk Beacon.

What excuse then have Fillmore Wings for re.
fusing to support scotti None, We imagine, but
sheer spite envy, because their favorite was not
nominated. Why should they support Pierce in
preference? We would not detract an iota from
the fame or services Of the latter. We would not
throw single blot on the escutcheon Of his revo-
lutionary ancestry. Distinguished ms Gen. Pierce
may be in the annals of his country, when COM
pared with the lofty patriotism. brilliant services
and glorious fame of his competitor. he is pigmy
alongside Of giant! With the lights then before
US, and no third candidate intervening whom we
may like better, we cannot hesitate to give our
support to Gen. Scott

To the Creditors OF Texas Throughout the
United States.
As the Committee of Finance in the United
States Senate asdecidcd that in their opinion, the
Government of the United States is not bound to
make up to the creditors of Texas the difference
between the rate which she has reduced her debt
and the nominal face value of her securities, it
becomes useless to protract during the present SEES
sion of Congress fruitless struggle 10 secure pay
ment in full on that debt.
The undersigne therefore. calls upon such ofthe
creditors of Texas willing to accept the set
the face of the audited certificates they hold,) to
signify the to him at this place, with the least
possible delay, that he may have their authority
with that Of those he now represents, to memorial
ize Congress forthwith, so to modify the proviso in
the boundary act as to relieve the five millions ap
propriated to their payment from their present
pension in the Treasury of the United States, and
thus to enable them to sign their releases sepa.
ratcly at the treasury, and receive their money
with the least possible delay.
By the legal compulson under which these re.
leases will be signed, the whole equity to which
the creditors of Texas may be entitled will be left
open for the consideration hereafter Of the Lcgisla
ture of Texas and the Congress of the United
States, at a season more propitious to doing ample
justice, which the undersigned has no doubt will
be accorded. J. HAMILTON.
