New Route 10 Etah,

We have received an interesting lettel
from Capt George a johnson, giving {
description Of his exploration of the Colo
RADIO river in the steamer "Geu. Jessup.
The San Diego Herald was in error wher
it coupled the expedition of Capt johnson
with that Of Lieut.. Ives the two being
entirely distinct, Lieut.. Ives was heard
from on the 2lst February, and had sue
ceedcd in getting his iron steamer of the
sand bank on which she had grounded
The General JeSsup" was fitted out en-
tirely by the enterprise of her owners, who
have sJo steamers running on the Colora
do ). and the object was solely to test tht
navigability Of that river above Fort
Yuma. Lieut.. White, of the army, was
dispatched at the head Of an escort to &C
company Captain johnson, for the purpose
of ascertaiuing the disposition Of the River
Indians towards our Government, and col
lecting such Information relative to the
country, above Fort Yuma, as might be
useful in a military point of view. The
" General JesSup" ascended the river tc
the distance Of three hundred and twenty
miles, and proved its navigability for light
draught steamers, to the perfect satisfac
ton of all on board. The Mojaves had
been tampercd with by the Mormons, who
had given them distorted account of theiI
difficulty with the Government, and inform
ed them that the Pah Utahs had Joined
their cause. They furthermore stated thai
they had furnished the Pah Utahs will
guns, pistols and munitions Of war, and
would do the same to the Mojaves. They
had exhibited some slight hostility to
Lieut.. Beale previous to the appearance ol
the General Jessup; p but when they
saw that their country was accessible to
steam navigation, they manifested unmis,
tokable signs of wonder and dismay. Nc
doubt now remains but that the Colorado
is navigable for steamers drawing not over
three feet water, as far as the mouth oi
the Virgin river, which is within thirty
miles OF the nearest Mormon settlement
This fact is certainly one Of great import
ance at this time, aud will probably bS
taken advantage of by the Government al
soon as the interesting report Of Lieut.
White, which has been transmitted to the
officer commanding the Pacific Division
shall have reached headquarters at Wash
ington. The presence Of a steamer in thu
heart Of their country, must have exercised
very beneficial influence over the rive
tribes Of Indians, who will not be so dis
posed to initiate against the Government
as Mormon allies, as they would otherwise
have been. 1t is great point gained
and will facilitate operations against The
traitorous fanatics San Francisco Herald

Lieut. BeaIe's new ROME to lhe PACING.

One of the most interesting reports, says
an Atlantic exchange, ever made to the
general Government is that Of Lieutenant
Beale, who recently made the reeonnois-
sance Of new route to the Pacific. The
party started from San Antonio, Texas, in
the latter part Of June, followed the regu.
lar Santa Fe route, and reached the Rio
Grands on the 10th Of August. From
this point commenced their explorations Of
q new route, which is minutely described,
and Of which an accurate map is in course
of preparation. The party reached the
Colorado Chiquito on the 4th Of Septem-
Der. Thence they Travelled an nnsxplored
region, rocky aud sterile, passed the great
desert in its narroweSt portion, and crossed
the San Bernardino, following the Mormon
road to Los Angeles on the Pacific. Our
limited space will not permit US to enter
into the details Of this journey, Of which
the commanding officer says:
at is the shortest route from our west
ern frontier by three hundred miles, being
nearly directly west. 1t is the most level
our wagons only doubled-teams once in the
entire distance, and that short bill, and
over surface heretofore unbroken by
wheels or trails Of any kind. 1t is well
watered our greatest distance without
water at any time being twenty miles. 1t
is well timbered, and Ia many places the
growth is far beyond that Of any part oil
the world l have ever seSn.

ring the slightest medical attendance from
the time of our leaving to our arrival. II

made bad grass camp during the entire
distance, until near the Colorado.

must be crossed by any road to California }
at its narrowest point. 1t passes through
a country abounding in game, aud but lit

TIE SHIP CANAL SURVEY ON THE PANAMA.
IsTHMUs.-Letters have been received at
the Navy Department by Lieut. Craven,
who has command Of the Atrato surveying
expedition. He was, at the time Of wri
ting, Dec. 25) at Camp Toucey, on the
Truando river, and only thirty miles from
the Pacific. This survey, which is intended
to decide the practicability Of a ship-canal
across the Atrato route, is one of the most
important ever initiated by our Govern
ment 1t is said by Humboldt, that under
the ancient Spanish rule, "canal once
existed, flowing into the Atlantic, between
the Rio Atrato and the Rio San Juan, on
the Pacific side" 1t is this point which
Lieut. Craven is now surveying. His report
will DO looked for with much interest.

BetWeen two friends in days Of old
A bitter strife began;
And Father Spade and Brother Trade
Disputed man TO man.
nYou're vain, undutiful, and proud"
Said Spade, with flashing eyes;
"You earn your thousands while starve;
"You mock my children's cries.
"You ride 10 stlte with lordly looks; 4
"You dwell In bower and hall;
"You speak Of Inc reproachiully,
"And prosper on my fall.
80 from this hour, in shine or shower,
"We'll learn to live apart;
81 ruled the earth ere yon were born
al cast you from my heart"
And Trade lost temper in his pride,
And utterd words Of scou:
'tYou do not know the ways Of men,
amid your sheep ard corn.
"You dose away the busy day,
"Nor think how minutes run
go. put yonr shoulder to the work.
"And do as have done.
you've all the earth to yield you wealth,
"Both corn and pasture land;
"I only ask countnghouse,
"And room whereOn to stand.
"And from this hour, in shine or shower,
an learn to live alone;
"I1l do without you well enough
"The world shall be my own!'
And thus they wrangled night and day,
Unlair, like angry mon;
Till things went wrong between them both,
And would not right again.
Bot growing visor in distress,
Each grasped the others hand:
"Twas wrong said Spade, ito rail at Trade;
r "He loves me in the land"
And Trade as freely ownd his fault:
"I've been unjust" he said.
ITO quarrel with the good old man
"WhO grows my daily bread.
"Long may we flourish, Trade and SlPde,
In city and in plainl
THE people starve while we dispute
ave must not part again."
And all the people sang for Joy,
To see their good record;
While Spade assembled all his sons,
And piled his plenteous board.
BE fed them on the best of fare,
Untax'd the foaming ale,
And pray'd on England's happy shore
That Trade might never fail.
And busy Trade sent fleets Of SHIPS
To every sea and strand,
And built his mills and factories
Der all the prosperous hpd
And 80 well sing God save the Queen
And long may Father Spade,
For sake OF both the ri h and poor,
Unite with Brother Trade.
