Formation of the Valley.


From the description we had heard in re-
gard to the shape and extent of the Valley, we
had conceived the idea that it was long mar
row canyon, with perpendicular rocks the
sides formed BY the rivers having worn or cut
channel by the constant wearing away of
some softer strata of the base or bed rock,
which the stream encountered in its course.
In this we were most agreeably surprised.
The Valley, beginning from where the Mann
Brothers trail terminates at the foot of the
mountain, and ending at tie Sentinel Rock, at
the head of the Valley, is something over eight
miles in length, and will average three quarters
of mile in width. The Middle or Main Fork
of the Merced River winds smoothly, with
gentle flow. between the high, perpendicular
walls of granite rock, in places nearing the
bases of some the more projecting and prom
inent points. AT the foot OF the precipicos are
strewn fragments of rocks which have fallen
from the cliffs above, displaced by the action
of the frosts, or scaled off from the inacces-
sible sides The stream gracefully meanders
through large area of meadow-land, which,
in places, is covered with thick growth of
fern and shrubbery Here grows the oak, the
fir, the hemlock, the nutmeg, the pine, the
maple the CEDAR the spruce, the laurel, the
airow-wood, the elder, the cherry the plum,
the poplar the balsam, the dog-wood, and the
willow. We carefully, yet vainly, sought for
the wide-spreading beach.tree; but we were
amply repaid for this ppointment-our
search revealing the bearbery, the raspberry,
the strawberry, the gooseberry, and the SER
viceberry. OF flowers, we found many varie-
ties, from the rose to the honeysuckle and
many plants which we never before remember
having seen. The cherries were yet green,
but the berries we obtained in great abun-
dance, and found them to possess delicious
flavor. The fruit-trees and the berry-bnshes
were vigorously Towering on the south bank
of the river, on which the snow remains long
est in spring, and where the beams of the sun
seldom reach. This was readily accounted for
by our guide, from the fact that the Valley
runs nearly due East and West in its course
between the precipices, and that the fruit-trees,
nourished and stimulated by the vital beams
of the sun during the day, were nipped in their
bloom by the blasting frosts of night. The
temperature Of the atmosphere would range,
probably, during the day, in the shade, at
seventy-sx degrees Of Farenheit; at night
the air is cool and refreshing.

Notwithstanding the attempts made from Wash
rgton through the telegraph to back up the reports
iay orabe to Walker brought by the Texas, We feel
confident that the great fllibuster is rapidly sp
preaching the end of bis career As to the story of
the great victory gained by Walker, in which
be moved down the allies by hundreds, brought or
ssd TO be brought by the Orizabs, which left San
Juan del Sur on the Goth of March, the Sierra
Nevada three weeks before brought down to
Panama precisely similar story aud one of these
s'ories no doubt is just as true as the other. The
fact js, that at San Juan del Sar nothing had been
heard of Walker since the sailing of the Sierra
Nevada. All that was known there was that The
Rangers and the recruits, brought DOM by the
Sierra Nevada, in making their way to Rigas suf
feIed ve1y severe loss Since then, the communica-
ton oas been entirely cut of, and what has hap
pened to Walker nobody knows.
As to the report that Canas, the General of the
alles, had been PUT under arrest for making over-
lures TO Walker, we know by the last accounts
from Costa Rica that so long sgo as the 10th Of
February be had been superseded in the command
by Gen. Mora, who had distinguished himself BY
his activity in the occupation of the Transit route.
Only twenty. two recruits came down in the
Oiizaba, and Walkers reenforcements from that
quarter are about at an eud.
AS to the operations on the San Jusn River, we
have news of the arrival of the Texan recruits Of
whose sailing from New-Orleans we had accounts
some time since. THIS may raise his force to
something like four hundred men bat as yet
nothing further has been accomplished toward
ceIdipg the river while fever and desertion con-
tinue to do their work.
