Douglas. Hunter and BrOderfck.

The three names which appear above are
apparently strange trio to put together as
fighting for one cause, yet they have Joined
forces at last upon most important issue.
In a report Of proceedings upon a resolu
tion offered by Mr. Douglas calling for in
ve.tigation Of charges of fraud aud dishon-
esty preferred against Postmaster Cook of
Chicago, the correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, after describing the attempt of
Mr.. Fitch to bolster up Cook and to avoid
the investigation, says:
After bitter opposition to the resolution
from Senators Slidell, Brown, Mason and
others, the resolution was laid on the table.
At this point Mr.. Hunter Of Virginia, said:
1--WE must Investigate this matter" "l es,"
Yes" responded Pugh and Clay. These
demonstrations of yielding to the Illinois
Senator created au excitement such as has
seldom been witnessed. Senators Slidell,
Brown and others sprang to the seat Of
Hunter, the former exclaiming, "Wc have
haC enough Of this; don't revive it."
Senator Broderick, taking advantage OF
the attempts made to overawe Hunter, OBJ
tanned the floor, aud delivered a lecture TO
the Democracy which they will not soon for
! get He said he was surprised to see Sena-
tors controlled in their action on grave
question by bitter spite against a Senator
whose life had been devoted to the great IN
terests Of the Democratic party. man is
nominated for highly responsible place.
A Senator rises in his place and prefers
charges against him, showing him to be dis.
honest, and therefore unfit for the place lie
points the Senate to the place where the
testimony is recorded, and moves a resolu.
ton, the tendency of which is to procure
said testimony; and, in the face of all this
Senators say, "We have had enough of this
we want no investigation!' Mr. Brolerck
characterized the proceedings as tshonora.
BILE and disgraceful
The vote laying the resolution on the table
was rcconsidered, and the testimony was or
derJd.
Hurrah for Brolerick We knew Ii,
would keep the Senate on the right path.

BAD ARRANGEMENT.-Th withdrawal
of the opposition line Of steamers is most
disastrous occurrence to those who desire to
leave for the Atlantic States. Many who
could have gone. had the fare been kept at
low rates will now be compelled to remain
here, aud the consequence will be that
large proportion of them who would have
gone to the East with the intention of re-
turning here with their families will now
abandon their projects. or course, if the
steamers are withdrawn on this side. those
of the other side will likewise be stopped and
emigration hitherward will be greatly dimin-
ished. When will the California Line or the
Tehuantcpec Route be in working order

Beale's Expedition.

From gentleman acquainted with the move
ments Of Mr. Beale and his escort, says the
Los Angeles Star of the Goth Feb, we have
received the following particulars They differ
somewhat from the report we published last
week, which was incorrect in its reference to
the Ives party-a mistake arising from hasty
perusal of the letter from which It was ex.
tracted, and not on the part of the writer
The command under Major Blake, which was
an escort to the Colorado for Mr.. Beale, have
returned to Fort TETON, and were not little
dsgusted with the road to the Colorado, on
account of deep sand in some places, rocks in
others, no wood and water in others, and grass
no where. The troops beat Mr.. Beale twenty
hours to the Colorado. They met with Capt
johnson, Of the Colorado river, who had been
up above Beale's crossing in the old General
Jessup, for about sixty miles. He was just
about to put on steam and return to Fort Yuma
when the command was seen crossing hill.
He had on board an officer and small detach
ment from Fort Yuma. He intends going to
San Francisco to get a contract for delivering
freight at the head of navigation on the Colora-
do, in twenty-four days from San Francisco
Capt. johnson speaks well of his trip up the
Colorado, and is confident that with good
stern wheel steamer he could deliver freight at
the mouth of the Rio vrgen. Ives party is
still at Fort Yuma. The camels have been
brought back to Fort TETON.
The San Diego Herald, of the Goth Feb,
in speaking of this expedition, states that the
steamer Gen. Jessup, in which Captain John
son ascended the Colorado, ran on a rock thirty
miles above Fort Yuma, and knocked hole in
the bottom of the vessel She filled and went
down on the place, and still lies there.
Capt. johnson gained point as high up as
to Salt Lake City, where, finding party Of
Indians armed with carbines, etc, who assum-
ed warke attitude towards the new comers,
deemed it prudent to return without landing,
as it appeared hazardous to ascend further
with the force then on the steamer.
The editor of the Herald adds, that in his
opinion, the great exploring expedition up the
Colorado is burst up for the present, unless
Congress shall make an appropriation at its
present session sufficient to fit out two or three
light draught steamers, adapted to this haz-
ardous service, with sufficient number Of
men, arms and provisions for trip of such
magnitude

BONES FOR FRUIT TREES

A good deal is said OF the value of
bones, and yet not one cultivator in ten
thinks enough of them to save them
When the refuse bones can be had in the
villages for merely nominal, he does
not think of purchasing them. There is
no better material for the border of fruit
trees, grapevines and small fruit bearing
shrubs; every fruit grower, that has done
planting, should keep "A stock of old bones
on hand so that every new border may be
we'll turnised with plant food For imme-
diate etfe. the bones should be dissolved
IN sulphuric acid or ground into fine dust.
But for the larger fruits and vines, bones
crushed with hammer will answer quite
as well, and two or three bushels may be
put in each border for an apple or pear
tree. The crushing of bones may be done
under cover and makes good work for raj
ny days. If the trees are already planted,
the crushed bones may be dug in among
the roots. If worked into the soil of cul.
tivated land, or even spread upon pas
lures, they will give sure though slow
return. The eagerness with which plants
takeup this kind of food may be easily dis
covered by digging up bones under trees
and grape vines, when it will he seen that
the roots have covered the bones with net
fibres, and even penetrated their sub.
stance. Save all the bones, and buy them
if you would have fine fruits, and take
their premiums.
