We give the following extracts from
. letter received in this city BY Mr.. E.
w. B, keT, from his brother Harvey
Il will be recollected that Mr.. Baker,
together with Messrs. Plumer and
Rundlett, lett this city on the eth day
of April, and they arrived in Sacrs-
mento, August 3otb, making the trip
across in little less than four months,
tarrying at different points long enough
to see whatever of interest presented
itself The writer says:
After sojourn Of some few days in
this city, ! propose giving my Eastern
friends a few items concerning the
same. Our journey from Salt Lake
was overcome without any serious diff
ficulty or accident, and was accom-
plished in &c days time. We made au
exchange OF wagons at Gree Salt Lake
City, in the following manner Two
persons, one from Davenport and one
rom Rock Island, arrived in Salt Lake
about the time We did, with . light
two-horse wagon. They told US they
wished to sell and make arrangements
to take passage with the purchaser
So we first sold our wagon for $S5, and
then paid them SIS for theirs, with
these conditions they were to put on
q span of mules, and furnish one-fourth
Of the grub" but only one OF them
was to make the through trip-one
only going as far as Getty Rocks"
200 miles. From this point there was
only four Of us, the other having taken
passage for Oregon. Thetwo persons
named were A. H. Willard and Doc
tor Miner, both partners Of B. i.
Brayton, who returned to Davenport
You have doubtless read accounts
Of depredations committed by the In
dians on the emigrant road this sea-
son. The accounts are doubtless true !;
but our train WAS fortunate enough to
escape oil trouble with them, although
we apprehended the same.
We were quite unfortunate with our
teams just before we reached the State.
Plumer lost horse in Carson Valley,
and Jackson mule in Lake Valley.
The disease is termed "swelled neck;
its duration is short, the animal invar-
iably dying u few hours after the ap-
pearancc OF the swelling. The disease
is supposed to originate from drink
ing poisonous water and eating poison
GUS grasses. We sold our near horse
after getting through for $24O-large
American horses are in good demand
here. We remained in Placerville,
fifty miles east Of this city, one week,
and in the meantime l paid a visit to
the residence Of Frank Corbin, which
was % miles distant. Frank lives in
q cabin 0xl2, with two other occu-
pants, his brother and Mr.. Jackson,
from Orange county, N. Y. was
there two days, and obtained pretty
good insight into mining.
Young Churchill is in town. He
received a package Of letters per last

port still existed, crops good, etc. |

The 6ct that the Wheat crop Of
1859 10 one Of the beat and largest that
has ever been harvested 10 this coun-
try, IL no longer matter Of question.
The North-West alone has Wheat
enough 70 supply The whole country
with bread the coming year-to say
nothing of the extensive yield Of the
crop in other parts Of the Union. And
though prices are what our farming
friends consider ruinously low" yet
the grain is coming into market moat
freely, and if there was good foreign
d .mand, We could export millions Of
bushels more this year than any year
previously.
Being fully satisfied as to the extent
Of the Wheat crop, public attention is
now being directed to the maturing
Corn crop, which is already preparing
for the market. Fears have existed
that this important Western staple this
year would be virtual failure, on &C
count of the July drought and the ear
" frosts but the reports that are now
coming in from this and adjoining
States, are, with . few exceptions, ia
vorabIe to q foil average crop, and in
some localities more than IN average.
This crop, which is now being husk-
ed in the southern districts, and soon
will be in this region, will, in q few
weeks, begin to pour into our market
as freely as Wheat does now-as also,
few weeks later, will the Pork, which,
owing to the plentiful yield Of Corn,
will be in good condition and in large
supply. These influences cannot but
have . most favorable effect upon the
financial and general businessintcrests
Of our western cities, az we'll as the
country at large.
All things considered, the West las
no reason to complain, but the best Of
reasons for gratitude for the fruits
Of the present years harvests. We
have been blessed with an abundance
of the necessaries of life and comfort.
The earth has smiled in plenty, rewar-
ding the husbandman's labors most
bounteously. Though prices are too
low to suit the notions Of those who
have wheat to sell, yet this is made up
in a great measure by the unusual
quantity they have to sell, and what is
their loss is the consumers gain. The
poor man, with small wages, can once
more afford to live comfortably; he
can buy the "staff of life," without
robbing himself or anybody else.
The effect Of these good crops will
soon be-is already-scnsibly felt in
the West Our farmers will soon be
enabled to pay off much. Of their in
debtedness, and the people in the Cru
raj districts" who have, in some To-
cal,ties, been almost penniless the past
year, arc already beginning once more
to enjoy the luxury Of knowing what
it is to have money in their pockets
Let them 60 to work encouraged, pre-
paratory for another years full harvest,
which, under the favoring smiles Of a
kind providence, will bring them out
of all their pecuniary troubles, and re-
store this great western country of ours
to its former condition Of life, energy,
and wealth. Industry, patience, econ
omy, and perseverance, constitute the
Archimedean lever with which we can
effectually remove from the country
| it, world Ct financial troubles,

CAMELs IN THE UNITED STATES
SERvIcE.-The valuable animals i'm
ported for the public service in the
West have grown in favor every day
their efficiency has been tested. The
following letters from Superintendent
Beale to the Secretary of War shows
the high estimate placed upon them
by those who have daily occasion to
employ them
Fort TETON, CAL,
May 90, 1859.
SIR In the other letters to the De-
partment have neglected Of late to
say anything on the subject Of the
camels. Seeing them, as We do, every
day in camp performing with patience
the most toilsome labors, they have
ceased to be novelties, and are now
only al nircd for their usefulness.
They are employed constantly in the
severest toil-pack;ng provisions,
water, working utensils, &c, from one
camp to another. My admiration of
them increases every day. From all
| had read Of them, dreaded the
difficulties which seemed to present
themselves in breeding them. Books
tell us that the young must be taught
to suck by dipping the finger in warm
butter and putting it in the mouth Of
the calf that it must be blanketed
and wet-nursed through long and
delicate infancy.
Knowing that, ifthis were true, it
would be no use trying to breed them
in this country, where men have no
time to devote to such purposes, l
directed them to be used as usual, and
on their dropping calves to desist
from their use, but not to assist ma
ture by any warm butter process. 1t
gives me pleasure to state that the
females, within short time of each
other, and near the summit of the
Sierra Nevada, in a snow-storm,
dropped their calves, and without
more assistance than would have been
rendered so many cows; they are
now as thrifty as it is possible to con-
ceive, all the old being employed up
on the road.
Beyond doubt, they arc as easily
bred as COWS and calves; at least that
has been my experience with them. !
sincerely trust the recommendations
contained in your message for the
importation Of more Of these useful
animals will be favorably received
and acted on by Congress. No one
who has once used them but would
prefer them, for all such purposes as
l have engaged them on, to three
times the same number of horses or
mules.
At later date, writing from San
Francisco Mountain, Mr.. Beale says:
l have lately tried etfectually the
comparative value of mules and camels
Is pack animals. The experiment
leaves the palm with the camels. Both
trains receiving the order to start at
the same time in the morning, the
camels invariably arrive ct camp, in
distance of twenty-five miIes, 40
hour, aud sometimes an hour and
twenty miutee, ahead of the mule train:
the mules carrying a burden of two
hundred pounds, the camels packed
with four hundred, besides a rider,
armed with his rife, revolver. and
ammunition, and his bedding laid over
the pack to sit on. The young are
great pets 10 camp, but very mis-
chievous-poking their noses into
every bag, pot, and pan about the
