From Fort STEILAcooM, W. I've are allow
ed by gentleman of this place to make some
extracts from a letter written by one of Captain
Crowpinshield's men, now at Fort Staiaooom, W.
+, which may be of interest to cur readers. The
letter was written March 9rd
The writer begins by saying that for two
months past it had been showing and freezing
The thermometer sometimes falling to 100 below
zero, Most of the boys are getting tired of gar
rison life, aud are anxious to get into active SER
vice. However they have had exercise enough,
being obliged to cut and haul in oil the wood
they burned since winter set in.
We regret TO hear that seven of the company
have deserted-~only one from Weaveryille-
Rose, better known TO our citi7ens as Beaure-
gard" The others were recruits picked up be-
Corporal Teller, Private Bell and four others,
we're detailed to go in quest of them, Captain
Crownnshield having asoertalned that they had
taken the route to Frazer river, via Belingham
Bay. lie gives description of their trip from
Steiacoom to Simiamoo, and back, which was o
perous one occupying twelve days. AT the
latter place they were rewarded with the intelli-
gence that the refugees had crossed into British
Columbia few hours before their arrival.
J. At Scbomc they visited the coal mines. Some
thiriy-fve men are employed. bringing from 100
to l2O tons of coal to the surface every twenty
four hours
The writer says that owing to dissatisfaction in
regard to the conduct of that officer, Lieut. Israel
had been requested by majority of the compa.
ny to resign, which he declined doing. The
provisions furnished, he says, are of the worst
possible kind, the beef especially the coffee on
hand has been condemned, but they were obliged
lar troops, who occupied the garrison previous
to their arrival had raised and stored fine lot
Of vegetables, but they were nearly exhausted.
The greatest luxury, he says. is beans, but they
were about gone. Are afforded rice three times
every ten days-vinegar and salt plenty, but no
pepper. The physician bad ordered syrup and
dried apples to be supplied the men, as nccessa
ry TO their health.
Al the time OF writing there were nipc men in
the Hospital and seven in the Guard House, four
of whom would probably be oourt-lnartialcd for
refusing to do duty.
Whisky is plenty and cheap a manuactury
about mile distant is doing lively business
retailing the article at IS cents cantccn- about
three pnis.
The Quarter-Mastcr's store house had been
broken open and some $500 worth of clothing
stolen. The officers are on the track of the de-
lnquents they think.
Sargt Soutbwick is clerking in the Captains
quarters, is well liked, and appears satisfied
The Paymastc: was anXiously looked for as the
men had received no pay for four months, which
comes hard on old Californtans.
The writer speaks in not very hattcring terms
Of capt. Titus and Lieut.. Reed, in which he will
be bourne out by large majority of our oli-
zens. 1t seems that both these patriotic ndvid
uals decided not to enter the service after they
arrived at Sacramento. Very few of our people, |
we imagine, will be surprised at the anounce

A DANIEL CONE TO JUDGMENT!-The Stockton

to be found in the fact that large class of men
contend that the Constitution and authority of
the United S:aea il superior to the Constitution
of an individual State This profound assertion
may be accounted for from the fact that the Ar.

from an editorial in the Richmond Wing, pub

tpiration of success, recrimination and despair
is all that is left to the rebels
"Judgng by results fair, it is the most
lamentablc failure in history, and suggests to the
rejecting mind that the most signal service which
the Government can now render to the country
is the surrender OF helm to ADLER and better hands
In view Of the past the present, and probably the
future, the pageant Of Tomorrow GDavs' Inau-

Since the Wig published the above JEFF. Da-
Wis has been inaugurated The editor was right,
instead Of brilliant pageant, it is agreed by
