C4RRIz0 CAsoH, SIERRA NEVADA.
 November 7th, 1869

EDITOR UNIow The surveying party. under Col. |. F Gray, have been gradually working their way down the side sloses of this c.Hon for the past three days The work is unusuany rough, heavy and very dangerous, yst we feel sanguiue oi success. The desert is not many miles away from us, and the prospect is cheer. ing that & practicable line can be found to make the descent From hesammit thus far, fully one>halfof the fall has been made, and the grade under lOOft per mile. Tho Col. seems determined to let no small difficulty stop him, and from our present position over steep precipicea Iahould say no apparently greatone, either. If he Northern slope of the ridge run- ming from the mouth of the CaIizo canon east- ward to Coyote Stage Station doos not prove too precipitous for goats to climb, think my next note will contain the joyful information that the problem Is successfully solved. By the end Of this week if nothing happen to prevent it, we will have advanced sufficiently to determine the possibility ot getting upon the Northern slope. The summit where we crossed 1t, has meas ured elevation (ao our levtIler tsils mel of 3, 839 feet, Our present height is 2,63Ott Es will probably fall 600 feet in going down this cElTOn, possibly more, and estimating the das- ert to be 500 feet above the sea when we vii strike it, therO will remain but about ,50O fact to descend, and fully twenty miles to do 1t in. This looIss cheering and practical; bu: tho question is, vii the broken surface of the ground or rsther hills permit ua 10 pass. This can ba determined only by trial Ne have al ready passed over ground that seemed impas- sible 80 that 1t woald be rash to say, it cannot be done. Our greatest difficulty, I apprehezd, will be in carrying provisions and finding water.
 We gre all in good spirits and hopeful. "Push forward" is the order of the day; and no one seems to look forward and anticipate trouble we dealwith the present and feel that sufficient unte tho day is the evil thereof" x

Prescott Things.
The Miner furnishes the following:

The Miner furnishes the following:
 0n Friday evening the Territorial and coun~ ty officials of Prescott united with the leading business men of the town, and gave supper to Governor Stafford, the U. s. Judges and few other strangers then in Prescott. ToaSts and short, pithy speeches were numerous. San- guine railroad projects, and death to the Apache, were the themes of the hour.
 A band of Indians made raid on @ set clement ia Chino Valley, stealing eleven head sf horses and mules. The animals were taken out of a corral and stable the doors of which were found closed and fastened next morning. None of the stock has been recovered.
 One day last week, while T. w. Boggs and John McMahon were en route from Big Bug to Lower Agua Frio, they were fired upon by two Indians lying in ambush, 8 few paces from the road The boys escaped unharned, and at onco returning the fire, brought down one of the game, capturing Q Sharps Rifle, ammunition, buckskins and other trophies. The scalp-a good big one-was presented to Governor Stafford.

A Living EEeadIess Child.

In tae vicinity of Spoon River, Illinois, is a child that was born and has lived fire years with out a head. Mrs. -, the mother, is widow of a soldier, formerly living in Marshall county, who oenlistedin the Sixtyffth, or Scotch Regiment and was killed at the battle of Lex instoa, Missouri. She was standing beside her huabapd during Ra engagement, when cannon call carried his head completely away. his body falling into her arms, and covering her with blcod. When her child was born thcro wss not t&e ssn6lance of head about 1t, The limbs are perfectly developed, the arms long, and the shoulders, where the head and neck should be smoothly rounded off,
 But thO most surprising thing of all is shat the faco Is situated on the breast Of course, there being no neck, the power of turning the head is wanting, except ss the whole body is moved but this difficulty is overcome by the singular faculty 1t possesses ofturniug its eyes in ther sockets, enabling it to see quite as wal OH either side as rhoss more perfectly formed The upper portion of the body is as white as the purest Caucasian from the waist down ward it is bloodred. This strange creature, now an active boy of five years, as ifto compensate for his deformity, possesses the most clear and bird-like tones evOr listened to, singing with singular correctness everything it may hear and it's voice, at this early age, accomplishss two octayes easily.

A corresp pondent of Ths S. f. Examiner GA NJ. W.) writes from Washington City as foll- owa:
 Talking of negroes reminds me of some ob~ serYations l have made iu passing through this city and surrounding country. l zee very few young negroes; no negro babies compared to the number of white ones; and, urou inquiry, find that the decrease ofthat class of the popu- l&tiou in tha Southern States is truly mournful. One of the papers here says.
 4 gentleman informed us some weeks sInse that on his farm there Are nine married negro couples, but not one child among them. An other friend from the south side of James river told us the other day that there are within quarter of mile of his hoass, eight negro families, among whom there has but one child been born since the war. We have heard many such accounts from various other sources, all pointing to the fact that the increase ofthe colored people is now much less than their decrease by death.
 Indeed it is the opinion of many of the most observing men of the country that the race will die out in time and become like the and less until the race is extinct,

It is alleged that extensive deposits of tin have been discovered in the Coast Range, ia the vicinity OfElzabeth Lake, sume sixty miles from this city. Specimens of ore now before ps show, bJ assay, an average of 20 per cent tin, in formation fblack oxide-iron six per cent. Nr. B. ?. Peregoy, the discoverer informs Es that the specimens were from the surface. The dge is some twelve feet vide and can be traced for Eearly two miles. Wood and water are plenty in the vicinity. the discoverer is an old miner who has lsng been pursued yill fortune but if his Rntcipations prove correct, the fckls dame has as last consented to smile uron him most lavishly. The necessary papers were recorded yesterday, and to- day he returns to take out few tens of the ore for shipment to San Francisco. The ledge is on Government land, out of danger frolh the floating of any grant over the locality. If this nina proves as rich as iu anticipated, its discovery will add greatly to the wealth and importance of the county Those who desire can see the ore speci- mems at this ofice.-L. 4. NeWs

The use of private telegraph lines is be-
coming very general in Chicago, and they
are applied to great variety of uses.
Chicago is to have great Chinese laun-
dry, and one hundred men will be brought
from San Francisco to do the work. The
Chicago merchants now in California are
very generally engaging Chinese men as
house-servants to take the places OF the
Bridgets now employed.
Mr.. Medill, in order 10 give an idea OF
some things in California, makes the fol-
lowing striking comparison California is
immense in every respect. The State itself
is nine hundred miles long by two hundred
broad. Three States larger than Illinois
can be carved out of it. Wonderful as is
its mineral wealth, yet tina. is far exceiled
by it's agriculture, by it's fruits and flowers,
grains and grasses. The highest peak in
the Allegheny mountains is hardly one
third Of the altitude of peaks in the Sierra
Nevada and the tallest tree IN the Mlssis,

are greater in diameter than the shot-toWer

vens further than the highest church-spire

tower would reach
