WEDNESDAY EVENING. June 3, 1863.
CoTToN-The movement was restricted to-
day, being confined to a few parties whose
aggregate business footed up barely $50
bales. At the opening this morning the e
was some disposition to operate, but on the
receipt of advices from Liverpool and New
York reporting an advance in both those
markets factors enhanced their figures mate
rally above the rates current at the close
last evening, and buyers ia consequence
withdrew from the market. Most of the
sales noted above were on the basis of oslo
for low middling, but as this was paid pre-
vious to- the receipt of the P. M. telegram
from Liverp, Of quoting an additional i'm.
provement of i'd (making the total advance
for the day ldl, it could hardly be accepted
as present criterion. We give the follow
ing rs closely approximating figures: say
good ordinary g74@2sc; low middHug 2s1@
CSC; and middling 29t@3O Yesterdays
sales included 100 bales, 100 of which were
taken after we left the market.

Mohayc river, California, gives the following des.
rriplioa oi y remarkable valley in that region
Eight, miles north west OF this camp. is the
wcll.knuwu and much.dreaded Death Valley. -
II Is said in be- lower than the level Of the sea,
and who'll, dcsiiiuic Of water. Mr.. Spears our
inlelligcn, guide Who visited this remarkable
valley scveral times, gave mc the following ac.
count d il, with the reason fog i,s terrible name
The valley Is some so miles long 6y 70 ia
breadth, and, save AZ two p0nia, Il Is wholly en-
circlcd by mountains. np whose steep sldes u y
impossible for any but expert climbers TO ASCEND.
II Is devoid Ol vegetation, aud the shadow OF
bird OF wild beast never darkened It's white,
glaring sand IN the early days, trains Of cmi.
grants bound for California, passed. under the
direction Of guides TO the South Of Death Valley,
hy what Is now known as the ''old Mormon road,
IN the year 1850 q large train, with some three
hundred emigranls, mostly from Illinois aud
Missouri, came south from Salt Lake guided by
Mormon.
When near Death vAllc,, dissent broke GU,
IN part oi the tsaiu, aud iweniy-one families
came TO the conclusion that the Mormon knew
nothing about the country. 50 they appointed
one ~ their number "A leader and broke OF from
lhc uiiin parry This leader determined 10 turn
due wet 80 with the people and wagons and
ilocks hc Travelled for three days, and then dcs.
cended into the broad valley, whose ircacher.
ous mirage promised water. They reached the
centre lut onll the gltting white sand bounded
by he scoi,hei pciks met their gaze nn ever,

Aruun the vale, th,y wandered, and enc by
