From Humbo1dt River.

The following letter, written in September,
was addressed Us from Humboldt River, one
hundred and Fifty miles above the Sink. by MIR.
Follansbee, young gentleman well known in
this community
Mn. EDiroR Trusting You will overlook the
long delay, send you, agreeabiy to my promise,
some items from this reg ion relative to the emi-
grafton ria the Plains.
Over two months have now elapsed since the
first trains passed down the river, and nOtwith-
standing the line has been almost an unbroken
one, the cry is still they come." From infor-
nation received | learn that month or more
will yet eapse before the rear trains can posi-
bly, reach the Sink of this river.
The emigration is thought to be about equal
to that OF last year, and tiae health geaerally has
been remarkably good. Indian depredatlons
have been frequent along the route. Many
complaints have been made against the Pawnees
on the I,oup Fork OF the Platte River, where
they have not only stolen great number OF
horses and cattle, but in some instances have
battled for two hours IN open field with the emi-
grants. In one of these contests nine of Them
fell victims of their own temerity.
The Shoshonees on Goose Greek and about
the head of the Humboldt River, have also been
very troublesome and have run off great deal
of stock during fhe summer. From this point
range. They have always been very pslceable.
and evince towards the whites friendly and
sociable disposition.
1t would be difficult to arrive at anything like
a correct estimate of the amount Of stock
brought oyer the Plains this year. By many it
is thought, to be but little if any less than the
number last season.
There has been much inquiry in regard to
the Shasta route" and the travel that way is
probably more than double that of either Sd or
53. Many have turned on to that road to avoid
the fatal diseases to which cattle and horses are
subject on the Carson and other route
One feature of the migration will be gratify-
ing to most of your readers. | ande to the
large number OF families Oh their way to make
California their home, and (mark il ye Bach
elors y with them numerous bright eyed
lassies, to make their homes attractive.
The emgrants are mainly from Missouri, ILL
nois. Iowa and Arkansas. Missouri sends pro-
badly more than all others combined. She, the
prolific mntLer of hardy people, while reclaim
ing her own lands from their primitive wilder
ness, still has tn. credit of leading in the num-
bes of those who are fertilizing the fields, de-
veloping the mineral wealth, and building up
one of the most fourishng States on the conii-
nent,-fulfling thereby perhaps, our manifest
destiny" as well as the prophesy of the poet,
that "Westward the star of Empire takes its
way"
Yours. &C., J. s. +.

The Sun says:-

PERSONAL BEApTY.-Itis is astonishing how sen.
sitiye some OF our contemporaries in regard
to the matter of their personal beauty, The ed
itors of the Marysviile Express and Herald have
been qnarreling for some days about their re-
spective facial charms. The editor Of the Her.
aid especially is very tender ont this head. The
Eapress incidentally remarked that the General
was not the most handsome man out of iail.
when the old soldier grew indignant instantane-
ously, and ''swOre and cussed" The next day
the facile editor made the amende when he, the
General, Immediately shot off in an opposite
tangent and vowed he didn't think himself re-
markably captivating, but only "so-so," and
then abused his amiable neighbor for his incon-
sstency in expressing opposite views on the same
subject in the short space OF two consecutive
days. Verify, General, you seem to be like the
young woman mentioned by the poet,-"Uncer-
tain. coy. and hard to please"
In the course of this editorial quarrel, the
Herald man also indulged in some rather hard
names at the expense of the Express, the Sc
verest of which was, that he, Col. Rust. was a
handsome man. We have great fopdnes,
for Gen. Allen, and will always stick to him
when be is in the right, but we must saw that
the term 9 handsome, as applied to the Colonel.
contains an amount of bitterness wholly uncalled
for under the circumstances

n. w. STARR.-We have been requested in a
letter received by MIR. G. F. Pennebacker from
Mrs. Sarah Ann Smith, (who formerly resided
at the Trinity Bridge,) Mrs. 7. B. Elder, Mrs.
H. Lane and Mrs Elizabeth Perkins, all of whom
were passengers Of the i'll fated steamer Yankee
BLADE, to state that they are especially indebted
for his disinterested kindness in protecting them
during the dangers through which they have
Just passed. Mr. Starr is the same gentleman
mentioned in the San Francisco papers, who
when he endeavoYed to get his money from hi;
room, was struck over the head and robbed o
both money and watch by the wretches who
commenced pillagug the vessel as soon as she
struck.

W4RLIKE,=Tbe Herald of the 10th saws:

The California Guard, under the command of
Capt. I. d. Johns, assembled at their armory at
Il o'clock last nj sbt, and after having prepared
over one hundred ball cartridges, marched on
board the steamer Brother jonathan. en- route for
the scene of the late disaster to the Yankee
Blade. They take with them the two six pound
ers with which they paraded yesterday. Grea,
secrecy is observed regarding their movements,
but 1t is conjectured they have been called upon
to put down the desperadoes and mnrderers who
have been carrying thugs with high hand
near the wreck
Several Of the yilliaps engaged in pillaging
the baggage Of the passengers after the vessel
struck, are now under arrest in San Francisco.
We trust they may get their deserts.

LATER FROM GUYAMAs.-The s. F. Sun OF the
9TH inst. contains detailed account of the affair
of De Rausset Bonlbon at Guaynlas on the 10th
July last. The Count arrived at Guaymas in a
small cutter. with two guns, ten barr, Is of pow
der. and $50 stand of arms, all of which he was
compelled to throw overheard by the accident
of his vessel running aground at the mouth of
,be harbor When the Count landed he imme-
diately had anspteryiew with Gen. Yanez, who,
peaceably inclined, and only desired to remain
in quiet" gave him permission tn remain III the
city, notwithstanding the popuiace were ex-
tremely hostile to him,
On the 10th of July, however, q party Of about
80 Frenchmen took possession of the French
Hotel, and commenced fusilade on the Mexi-
who surrounded the house in great num-
bers The consequence was that all save two of
the Frenchmen were killed. On the day follow
ing occurred the Fl ght disastrous to the inva-
ders In this battle the Alexicans numbered
1000 strong, while the united furces of the
French and Dutch amounted to only about 500
The San says:-
The conflict was terrific. bnt many on whose
assistance De Raousset had count~d, failed him
in the hour Of need. Oar informant states TIA. t
he counted, on that day, over sky d, ad bodies
OF Frepchmen in the streets. and that many more
had since died of their wounds. The Mexicans
fought from the tops of their houses and had the
advantage Of several field pieces, from which
chain shot, lanSrIdge, grape and cannister were
fired with deadly effect, and na.le dreadful bav-
amongst the French. Had De Raonsset's S
schooner not gone ashore, and compelled him to
lose his cannon and powder it is probable that
the result would have been very different His
defeat is attributable TO the fact that he was in
great want OF ofammnni'ion, his only having
tareice rounds III their cartridge boxes.
