As we approached the outward station.
he became alarmed aud anxious. expecting

protested his intentions we're good. All at.
templs at paeliieati0n were ia vain. aud his
anxiety aud excitement increased every mo

the dl liver TO increase his speed that he might
send dispatch TO Airiend 10 California and
explain his coaduet, etc. There was no dis

The ExP&NsE OP THE WAR.-There ore
not wanting thousands Of discOntented
spirits who declare that the present war
will utterly ruin the nation aud render it
bankrupt. But those who entertain these
gloomy forebOdings, founded upon the idea
Of the inadequacy Of the national resoUr
ces TO the exigency which presses on them,
have only 10 consult the condition Oi other
Ounires--even their ordinary condition.
to say nothing of periods of war, to be re-
assured. They have only 10 consult the
History of England to 1nd that the taxa
tiou to which the people Of this country are
to b. subjected, or to which they would be
subjected by the nece ssity Of meeting siill
larger Oullays, are neutrality-suspicious.
comparison with thOse borne by the British
nation in the early pant Of this century.
IL 1892, when that country commenced
her long war with France under Bonaparte,
her population. including Ireland. which
was disailectcd and Disposed to side with
the enemy. was not more than half that OF
the loyal States of this Union al the pres.
ent time We are twen!y-three millions
the United Kingdom WAS less than twelve
millions. Our public debt is ninety millions
- that Of the British hation was eleven
hundred millions. Our wealth aud resOnr.
ces. in proportion TO population, is far
greater than Great Britain's was at that
period-whch was long prior TO the era Of
cotton manufactures, Of steamboats, and OF
railroads. In word, with double the pop
ulation. treble or qnadrnple the commerce
and agriculture, aud probably as much
manu- faciures. we commence our war for
the defence Of the natioBal life and gOy-
ernment with less than One-elevenih OF the
amonnt Of national debt which Great Brit

FRoH Lower CAIIPORgIA.-We learn
from correspondent Of the Echo, writing
from San Dirgo. under date Of August 18th,
that considerable body Of emigrants. com
ing from Texas, has taken the route OF III
Paso, with the view OF settling on the shores
Of the Pacific. Seven hundred wagons are
said to BE- under way. This migratory
movement is due to the depiorable cohdi-
ton Of Texas, consequent upon the troubles
which agilate the nation. Among those
who have taken this route is the kelsey
family, by whom The aurifefOus qualities
of the American river were fret di5c0vereo.
This family has had much 10 enter during
the trip. Indians. associated With num-
Der of d dspraved whites. attacked them dn-
ring the tlansii. aud robbed them OF guam
lity of provisions and anmber Of animals.
Worse Than all. yo0ng girl OF thirteen
years. surprised by them, was made prison.
cr, and VAS left for dead on the road. with
the los OF her scalp. Strange to relate. che
did not die. and the little sufferer fnalIy
made out to join the caravan. BY mater
nal care and nursing she may be saved.

In the list of those wounded among the
