FROM THE LOWER CoUNTRY.--The details of the
news by the Sea Bird confirm the telegraphic an
nouncement that Walkers party had disbanded.
They had reached the Colorado and their extreme
destitute condition compelled them to disband and
turn back. They in tatters and rags with
nothing to eat. Walker himself was no better clad
than the rest, and had but one boot. The party
are heartily sorry for their adventure, and protest
that if they gain honest living, they will not
ego soldering any more
The Los Angeles Star has the following account
furnished by DR.. Foster
Since his arrival one of the men of whom he
speaks has reached town, travelling from the Colo
RADIO on foot in eight days. From him we have the
following particulars of the march from San Vicente
to the river Walker left San Vicente with one
hundred men, and driving off one hundred cattle.
In crossing the mountains between them and the
Gulf two men deserted and twenty head of cattle
were lost Soon after crossing the mountains, they
were joined by thirty Cucupas, who followed them
to the river where they stole some thirty head of
cattle Five of the Indians were seized as hostages
for the return of the property, and in attempting to
escape, three of them shot
At this time the ratons had been reduced to
beef alone-and poor at that There had been
corn, but this had been reduced that it only
to be had in the mess of his Excellency There
was a murmuring at this for Walker had boasted
that he would share the hardships of his men.
They reached the river about six miles above its
mouth, anu seventy from FOfu una. Inc COlO-
RADIO here is about four hundred yards wide very
deep, and not rapid. The men crossed by means of
RATS. In attempting to swim the cattle, several
were drowned and some escaped. and the attempt
was abandoned.
The first raft took over, among Others Capt.
Douglass and Smith, an Engshman; and for Doug
lass went along, also, pint of boiled corn, which
was placed upon the ground and stolen by Smith.
When Douglass ascertained Smith to be the thief,
he drew his pistol and deliberately shot him dead.
Thus pint of corn worth a mans life!
The party remained at this point three days.
On the second day after crossing, there much
disaffection in camp--and in a barren country,
which they had invaded with hostile intentions,
with few means of repelng attack; exhausted,
naked, starvation staring them in the face, many
men prepared to abandon the waning fortunes of
the expditon, and return to to the settlements for
an honest livelihood.
The party of our informant three days
reaching Fort Yuma, where they were received by
Major H with courtesy, and their necessities sup
piled Before leaving the Fort many others came
in, and it ascertained that fifty had deser
ted Walker, and others preparing to leave
in fact, general stampede had occurred.
Finding his numbers thus reduced, that he could
not swim the cattle, which were his only rations,
Walker resolved to retrace his steps to San Vicente,
with the evident intention of rejoining his Excel
lency Smith He started back in 'the winter of
his discomfort" with not more than twenty or twen
ty-ive head of cattle
