AS we passed through the romantic
vale of Correll Hollow, must confess
that a more picturesque caya'cade |
had mover seen. We reached Grav-
sonville, at this time quite thriving
little town on the San Joaquin river.
The river was very much swollen by
the melting SHOWS of the mountains,
and it would compel US to 90 Ear up the

especially with the patron, as he spoke
the English language iluenlIy; and, in
fact, during our journey of twelve hours
he was kept costantly busy translating
questions back and forth from one par
ty to the other, and the rapartce and
ocular Essays flew thick and fast.
The patron called bis vile Unaa poco
serpeeaela serena, for her quick wItted
replies, and a more pleasant company
it would have been impossible i'll those
days to have found.
We parted with regret from them,
as their place OF destination would have

diminishing rather than increasing. we
concluded to follow them to the uppe.

hot and Su'try, and the parched plain
rctlcdted the heat from off its arid sur
face with intense power. Our cattle,
as they travelled through the dry grass
ahead OF US, raised a huge cloud OF sa-
line dust, that cung to our nosirlls and
stuck in our threats like dry flour,
while the irritating properties it con-
tanned, fairly tore he skin from our

HON. MILES TAYLOR.

Hon. Miles Taylor has accepted the nomination for
reelection to Congress- which was recently rendered
to him with such hattering unanimty by the democ
racy of the second district Louisiana. In his letter
of acceptance, which is strongly marked with mod
esty and good sense, Mr.. Taylor says
My slight acquaintance with the sages which exist
in political transactions makes doubt whether ought
not to limit myself in this communication to the mere
acceptance Of the nomination but the expressions CON
tanned in your letter in relation to my very brief con-
gressonal life, of kind latcring to my selflove
that it would be disngenuous in to conceal the salts
faction they have given The highest aim that any
who engages in the public service propose to him
self is to merit the appreciation of his fcow-czens by
his public conduct and the greatest qualification he can
feel after filling any place Of public trust grow out
Of the that his discharge Of the duties imposed
him has received their approval This qualification
must confess has been afforded me, in ordinary de-
gree, by the nomination in question: which, in itself i'm
plies such approval and by the statements the same
effect made by you in announcing it and il remains
for to say in conclusion that if should once more
be placed in the councils of the nation by the srages
of my fellow-citizens it will be my only desire to so
discharge the duties which will then devolye on me as
viii he most likely to advance the interests of my con
stituents and the general welfare of the whole American
peoDle. ~
