TRAVELS IN WESTERN Mexico. We have been
presented by r. a. Fagg, Of the City Drug
Store, with a neat little work entitled "Travrls
on the Western Slope of The Mexican Cordllera,'
by NJ. Wheat. Ii claims to be a truthful dCscrip-
ton of that portion Of Mexico, and contains Illus
trations of the ports of Mazatlan, San Bias, Aca-
puco, La Vcntosa and Minattlan. Besides be-
ing very interesting, the work contains much
valuable information in regard to the topograph-
cal features Of that region, its productions and
capabilities and the manners and customs Of the
people. Not having had an opportunity of pc
rnsing the work, we give our readers the benefit
of the following extract from review OF it in the
last number of the Yreka Union:
Graphic descriptions of the soil and the extent
of agricultural lands on the ella. as well as
throughout the Gadsden Purchase. including the
copper, gold and silver mines, may be found and
read with pleasure in this volume under review.
The mines in Sonora Lower California. Chihua-
hna, Durango, Jaisco, CinalOa, Zacato cas- and
Gaunaiuato. are all made subjects OF attractive
comment, while the writer Onits not to mention
the Agricultural aud grazing capabilities OF the
whole region of country descrpilveiy embodied
in his work. Tucson in the Gadsden Purchase
and Hermosillo in the State OF Sonora, should not
be passed over in silence. as they seem great cen
tres of attraction in point of climate, salubrlty
and trade The natural productions. such as
mahogany logwood, Brazil wood, the different
species of acacia, India rubber, caSsia, Jatropha-
manahot. mango, mamm@ apple" gum dragon
gum lac, as well us many others, all important
10 the commercial world, have been fully men
toned by the author, and are set forth in all
easy, readable manner to the public.
lie invites moreover especial attention to the
territory of Tehuantepec, its natural productions
filling the botanist with wonder aud astonshment.

pastures, and TO that dap when the Tehuantcpec
Route must set at naught all other communica-

the patient labor of sterner will, to make 1t

the hearts of the distant nations. Towns and
cities, the manners and customs of the people,

Probable Fate of the Utah Expedition.

By the arrival of the Golden .Age we are in re-
ceipi of information in regard to the Utah EXpe
dition, well calculated to arouse unpleasant sur
mises respecting the probable fate of the army
which at last accounts was within a few days
march of Salt Lake City. In the first place. the
force is much smaller than we had reason to be-
lirvc and. secondly, the main body, owing to
the delay of Gen. Harvey in Kansas, would enter
Salt Lake Valley under command of Col. John
son. When the expedition started from Fort
Kcarney it numbered as follows:
5th Infantry ......... 10 companies, 4S0 men
10th Infantry ..........8 companies. SO 0 men
9th Infantry ...........4 4 companies. 320 men
LIST Cavalry ........... companies, 240 men
4lh Artillery ..........l company, ll5 men
lOtal ................... II 10 men.
The artillery consists Of II pieces, as follows :;
4 6. Founders 2 l2-pouud howitzers. II pound
ers. and 32.pOund howitzcrs. The train CON
sisis Of 1870 wagons and $50 teamsters and men.
