But, In doing so recourse could not be had
to mere diplomacy in the form of idle talk.
No. Let squadron of English and

and let the diplomacy be demand for the

we make the following extract;
From FL Paso the road is for the great
er part an excellent wagon way, similar in
structure and quality to that already de-
scribed. Some difficult passes in the moun>
talns contribute the exceptions to this re-
mark. We met with no serious obstruc-
tions from the Indians, bu: our stock suf-
fered severly for want of water and grass.
The general character of the country is
that of an elevated plain high, dry. and
sterile. The-Santa Cruz Valley Of Sonora,
is the Oasis of this Sahara beautiful,
fertile and lovely vaIley-but narrow, and
enclosed by lofty and sterile mountains.
Here are several Mexican villages and a
few ranches. The villages are Santa Cruz
at the eastern extremity of the valley, To-
bab, and Tuesen. These Mexican live in
extreme and perpetual dread of the Apach-
es, their deadly enemies depredations
and murders are continually perpetrated
upon them by the Indians. They are
much elated by the news of the purchase
of Sonora by the United States We
reached the ella at the PIN villages.

says .

MORE GOLD DIscovERY.-By Mr.. John d.
Warren, the gcntlemanly and obliging Mes
seugcr of Adams & Cos Express, we are in-
formed that when the steamer Southeruer, on
her last downward trip, stopped Santa Barbara,
the whole town was in state of excitement,
caused by a recent discovery of rich gold dig
gings in its vicinity A Mexican who stopped
to water his horse in one of the tributaries of
the Santa Clara river, first discovered the shi-
ming particles, and communicated the intelli-
gence to one ofhis comrades They both re-
paired to the spot, and in seven days returned
for provisions bringing with them five hundred
dollars as the fruits of their labor Many hav9
since gone and returned but only to furnish
themselves with provisions We are informed
from a reliable source, that the average amount
thus far made per day is twelve dollars.--Los

Pacific and Auantic 7elegraph.-By
reference to our telegraphic news on the
outside it will be seen that Congress has
passed bill authorising the construction
of Telegraphic line from the Mississippi
river to San Francisco. The bill gives
the contractor two million acres of land for
the construction of the line of telegraph
from the Mississippi river to San Francis
CO, within two years the government be
allowed to transmit, free of cost, eight
thousand words monthly; stations to be
kept up'at each hundred miles. The rates
to be charged are double those charged m
lines now in operation. An early compile
ton of the undertaking may be expected,
and thus we will in very short time be
placed in instant communication with the
Atlantic States.
One thing seems little singular in re-
gard to this matter. If the general gov
ernment can appropriate land to the con-
struction of a telegraph, why can they not
extend the same favors TO other works of
far more benefit to the people both in the
eastern and western states. A Railroad
would be of infinitely more service to the
nation. Commerce and emigration both
imperatively demand it. At present it is
almost ruinous to man in moderate cir
cumstances to return to the Atlantic States,
where nearly all of Us have more or less
business not onl ly on account Of the en-
ormous expense attending his journey, but
the time necessarily lost in so doing. We
regard this as another absurdity on the part
of our National Executive.

TO THE RDlTOR OF THE HERALD.
In eancing over the official announcement OF the
premiums Of the National Poultry Show we find it
there stated that reward Of lfty dollars will be
given to the ore who will exhibit the largest and best
variety Of Gallineceous fowls, and reward Of only
five dollars to the one who will show the best pair
trio Of each variety. We conceive that This system
which has been adopted by the managers Ia unjust,
inasmuch as the best fowl may be shown only in
pairs and receive only the prize Of five dollars while
The one who has the largest number, although Of an
inferior class receives fifty dollars Por example,
person exhibits the best Of three varieties Drama
Pootrs, Black Java, and Dorking-the whole amount
Of his prizes il only fourteen dollars while another
exhibiting larger variety though of an inferior
quality, obtains fifty dollars. We deem this unfair.
For the business Of views refer TO the proceed
Dgs Of the Metropolitan Poultry Exhibition In Lon.
don. They give no general prize, competitors only
receiving premium for the bert fowl OF each varie-
ty II Is, therefore, our opinion that for the bene
1T Of each exhibitor well as the advanceme Mt Of
the purest and finest breeds in our country the Com
mittee Of Arrangements ahould adopt the English
systt Of awarding their prizes. II the gentlems IN
OF the National Poultry Show wish TO give additional
rewards let be 10 those showing the best Of the
several varieties. and NOT 10 those who exhibit the
largest number. BANTAM.
