B,YAnp TAYLOR relates the following
amusing incident in his own experience
in Arabia:-While in Arabia, had q
very remarkable experience. There is a
drug in the East whose effect is like that
Of opium; it is prepared from the Indian
hemp. twas much used by the Saracen,
warriors when about to enter,a battle, as
a stimulus. 1t produces on the imaginal-.

the mind seems to study whAe the other

the time. Soon after taking the drug the
effect began TO appear. l saw the furni--

These We're the Horse-thief Indians,
living just at the southern point of the
range. They had large bands Of Cali
fornia horses, and appearances indica7
ted that they were constantly receiving
additions to their herds from California.
Tho whites attacked party Of them,
and took 80 horses. One of the party
was wounded by an arrow, but not Sc
riously. s.r G+,s-i
About tho 1st of April they crossed
the Sierra Nevada near latitude So
The pass was very favorable, and the
slopes were SO gradual and the country
so favorable for road that Col. Ere
mont says that he could have started in
a buggy from the spot where he en-
camped tho day before crossing, fifteen
miles beyond the summit, and have
driven to a point s5 miles on this side
of the divide without injury to horse.
Indeed, many OF the party would not
believe that they had reached the sum
nit. This pass, which is at the head OF
creek entering Kern river from the
east, was previously unknown, as far as as
we know. 4.gi 9e,.
Col. Fremont arrived in this city on
the 10th, well and SO hearty that he is
actually some fourteen pounds heavier
than ever before, The principal result
Of his trip has been to establish the
practicability Of the route at all sea-
sons. The Mormons say that the last
winter has been unusually severe, and
the church officers at Parowan offered
to give Col. Fremont acertifcate a to
that effect. The greater portion of the
route from Bent's Fort to Parowan had
been surveyed by Capt. Gunnison. ana
reported to be not only practicable, but
favorable. This portion Of the central
route is undoubtedly better than the
corresponding portion in the same Ion
gitude of any other route. 1t is more
direct, through a more fertile country,
we'll provided with water and timber,
favorable geographically, and will
command the trade and the support of
the Mormons at Salt. Lake.
The route ll,,lssH pursued urs by Col. Fremont 3 1
from Parowan to the Sierra Nevada,
not having been direct, would not be
suitable for the road. The road might
90 from Parowans direct 10 the. Sierra
Nevada, in latitude 36 deg, or perhaps
might follow the Spanish trail-now the
road from Salt Lake to San Bernardo

Col. Fremon, has not had time to ar
range his papers, and most of his calcu-
lations are still to be made, and we ex.
pect that when detailed narrative of
his journey shall be published it will
create strong impression on the pub
lie mind in favor of the central route
The season did not permit of extensive
geological, botanical, or geological re-
searches, yet. considerable portion of
the journey having been made over q
country never before examined by civ.
ilized man, the report will no doubt
add much to the present stock ofknowl-
edge about the country near the south.
