time the Senate has rejected your nomina-

could not consistently with my own, nor in
view of your political course, do otherwise
than recommend it,
You complain of the treatment received
from some Of our most distinguished citizens,
and appeal to me against their judgment,
and you send me enclosures concerning your
political record in your vindicatiou. am
oh!v astonished that you should have done
this, knowing as you must that your whole
political course in California is familiar to
me. You will pardon brief reference to it.

Such spirit of blasphemous, uncharitable
ruf1ianism, as the above, is disgrace to the
journalism of California None but an utter
ly depraved and uumitigated rufiian could put
such an atrocious sentiment 10 irrevocable

mach as to your professions made to the

by the Executive! That you may hereafter,
fearing the influence it may have on your
political standing with the Republican party,
deny that you ever professed sympathy with
the President and his measures, | am pre-.
pared to believe; but rest assured that such
denial on your part will be received by
.lany of the Presidents friends in Washing
ton with profound astonisbment.
AS it is we'll known fact that I am now
and ever have been the advocate Of the views

Conventions which placed me in nomination

YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.

An Eastern Correspondent says: We return.
ed on Saturday last from trip to the yo'
semitic Valley, which has become world re.
nowned for the grandeur and beauty of its
scenery. Imagine to yourself walls of gran.
ite rising three, four and five thousand feet
perpendicular above your head. Ten times
higher than the pyramids of Egypt; and wa
terfalls-one of them 800, one of 700, one of
900, and another Of 600 feet, with sue.
cession of smaller ones after the last to make
what may be seen from one point of view a
single leap over the rocks of 2, 600 feet.
Travellers abroad in Europe and Asia say
there is nothing to approach it in the world.
and certainly all the mountain scenery have
ever beheld in our own country becomes sams
in comparison with it. This, Of itself, is
worth the trouble Of visiting California. 90
The whole face of the country is entirely
different here from what we are accustomed
to.
We are now in the midst OF the dry season
and the hills and valleys are parched with
the heat except where the forest grow and
the fields are retreshened by irrigation The
scene upon the whole is less inviting than
ours in summer. But in winter, when ours
is bare and desoIate, this is bright with con.
tinued warmth and veldure Then tho eli.
mate here is most delightful the year through,
so that the balance is decidedly on the side
of California.

Rat Po1soN.-If rats trouble you poison
them. This is much the most certain and
expeditions way Of getting rid Of the pests.
Take carbonate of baryetes OF; tallow, a

TIE HARPIEs.-1he New York World is
justly severe upon the hypocritical Harper's
who, before the war, were in the habit Of eu.
Iogizing the Southern people and their cus'
toms and character to the seventh heaven,
and now publish nothing but the most whole.
sale and unmiligated falsehoods about every
thing that pertains to the south. The South
is poor now, and unable to pa,ronze Harper
and more coppers can be made by pauder'
ing to the passions Of Puritan fanaticism.
Hence the change. IF the prosperity Of the
South coull be restored, tpe journal Of
Civilization" would crawl to its feet like
spaniel, and beg to be employed in barking
at its enemies.
