improving the River.

1t is well known to our citizens that the
California Steam Navigation Company have
been to considerable expense in impro wing
Feather River between Marysville and Oro-
Vile, and one of their beats has been plying
between these points for more than two
months past However well this trade may
have paid thus far, it must be apparent to
every one that it has not reimbursed the
company for their oujly in improving and
clearing the lower portion Of the river.
The approach of the dry season, and the
consequent low stage of water in the river,
admonishes US that steps must be taken to
clear the river of snags, if We would enjoy
the benefits of uninterrupted steam csmmu-
uication with the lower cities. The Trust
ees of the Navigation Company have author
lied the President to furnish the citizens of
Oroville the use of the Steamer GazeNe,
free of charge, ut such time as they may
require her, in low water, for the purpose Of
removing Instructions from the river. the
expenses of the Steamer while thus employ
ed to be paid by our citizens.
1t has been suggested that a meeting of
our citizens be called, for the purpose Of
considering this proposition, and for the
adoption of measures which shall secure this
benefit to our rapidly growing interests -
Let us have meeting, and unite upon

Correspondence Of The N. 2. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, June Is, 1857.
A good deal of valuable time has been wasted BY
the President, Secretary Of State, and Attorney.
General over the memorials of the cOntendiug
claimants to the Tehuantepec Grant. The ques.
tons between these worthy persons are of muchim.
portance to the public, because the pith end sub.
stance of them all is, by what means and to what
amount money shall be extracted from the Trea-
sury 1t is needless to 90 over the history Of the
transactions in which these claim originate. Many
grsnts have been obtained from Mexico Of the mo
nopoy of the transit by this route upon condition Of
building and putting in operation railroad or canal
or both; of which all have been vacated again and
again for non. fulflment of the stipulatOns Garsys
Grant was the first in order of date, which has been
assigned to various parties, and is now understood
to be in the hands of Mr.. Hargous of New.York.
Subsequently, Mr. Sloo, of Cincinnati, obtained
a concession overriding Garays. Upon the capital
of this SlOO grant a Company has been organized in
New. Orleans which claims to have expended .
large sum Of money in the actual construction Of
wagon-road. This Company was at one time con.
trOled by Mr.. SlOO himself, but he was at length
Ousted and the Hon. Emile La Sere, Member Of
Congress from New Orleans some years since, has
superseded him in the direction of its affairs,
and become President, giving the wags occasion 10
cite the distressing incident that happened to Don
Juan on his journey up to London, when it was biz
misfortune to quiet fOOtpad with an ounce of lead.
The unfortunate fibuster
"-turning TO his henchmau,
Said Oh Jack IN foored by that ere bloody Frenchmsn"
Mr.. SlOO was too slow for the very experienced
hands into which he fell and his grant is already
divided into more scrip than JOsephs coat, and
has been shared by the victors.
All the gentlemen engaged in the Tehauntepec
business want mail contracts, and most of them
want damages against Mexico for something il has
OF has not done. In order to determine to whom
not to give contracts, or for whom to exact sasfac
non from Mexico, the parties were referred to the
Attorney General, who decided that they must set.
tie their quarres among themselves before it would
be possible to rob either the Mexican or the Amen
can treasures for their benefit. This has been
zone, and hencefOrth the Tehuantepec trade will BIO
driven by the great firm Of Hargous, Benjamin &
SlOO.

In the mem time Mr.. Benjamin has gone down
70 Mexico to carry intelligence Of these proceedings
and Mr.. Forsyth will undoubtedly make them the
text for great deal Of sharp correspondence tending
10 the further dismemberment of Mexico, either by
cutting of the southern departments, including the
Iebuantepec Istbmus, or by the annexation TO this
Union OF another slice on the north.

1t is impossible to make an approximate s'''e,
ment of the number Of diseased cattle killed ana
eaten in this city in a single week. Apart from
the numerous cases in which those markesmen VINO
have no scrupes on this score impose knowingly
upon customers whose poverty or frugality renders
them the easy victims of cheap price, buyers anu
sellers are frequently both deceived. Now that the
tr,nst from the most distant parts of the country
is made with such rapidity and with 90 Little iausue'
q bullock. whose disease does not show Itself eh'
terpay, may be brought here, and even eaten Will
cut suspicion.
One Of the most secret of the diseases to which
cattle are subject is what is called the mkslcAnesS
of the Mississippi Valley, which is not modinca'
ton ofmarsh fever, but distinct disease, attrlout
able it is supposed, to variety of fungi whicn inc
animal finds in the pasture. 1t Is usually cnarac'
terzed by great loss of the vital powers, exhaustion
and trembling, but produces no marked change III
the appearance or appetite of the individual sezed
tits communicable, and may run its course IN from
three to seven days. but is also chronic, acting IKE
a slow poison in the system. Cooking does not ell
inmate the poison, which is pretty sure to be COM
municated to those who eat of the diseased animal
although the effects are often not observable for
weeks or even months after it is taken into the
system. No post morton examination IN the case
of man 80 affected has, SO far as we are aware
ever been made, but in the case of animals, whose
symptoms are analogous, gastrOintestlnal Lessons
exist. People cannot be too careful, especially In
such weather az we are now having, what sort OF
meat they send home or dine upon down town
