In the eaily part of the year 1846. bua-ineas called me to Alia California. Hav-ing bten long a resident on the Pacific coast, and being familiar with the language mm customs oi tue people, 1 was selected to t fleet a large contract of hides for one of our eastern firms, the trade being nearly piiralized at the time by the war then in progress between our country and Mexico; where a liiw.dful of noble men were accomplishing deeds which have given them a plnee in history by the side of Le-onidasand lih braves. The Californians had become to us a desideratum; although their miniial wealth still slumbered, waiting for that enchanter of modem days, Yankee enterprise; their splendid Iwbors, the contiguity to our possesions in Oregon, nnd the tnciliiies for trade with China, were a Rulbcn nt inceniivo. Commodore Stockton had liunieil up from Gnllnointhe frigate Congress, and General Kearney had ciosted the plains from the Missouri river, with a force of armed hunters, for the purpose of Inking the country and holding it hs a gsge for a tuti'fuctory treaty. The native Californians, who had lontr groaned beneath the imposts of a distant government hnd venal governors ; had tmmselves invited our overtuies: but a few of their 1. ailirs, wi h a deadly hatred to ward the Yankees, and hope of personal reward from M s;co, were assiduously endeavoring to stir the people up lo revolt in many cntes nun too great succeai. miles being a hard day' journey even for a uaiiiornian. ; At their exhausted beasts dronni d un- fiat them they tore oil the stddlet and plan- i .i i i i r .. ni)4 viiem on o ners, iiurnuu on leaving tue poor animal to be devoured by cayotes, r recover, as chance might bring about.

With ninety men on the Irr t of liiscnra-van of horses, he fell like a thunderbolt on the rear of the Mi-xictni.

We hnve friends throughout the entire North who are true to us. Good and true men are confined to no one region, and not only the political fortunes of such are embarked in this contest, but in many instances their social position and pecuniary interests will bo affected by the result. Should the Democratic army be victorious, they will become more zealous in guarding-the outposts of the Const.tuiion. They will be breveted and their influence increaj-ed.If it is defeated, many will havo to fly before the fires of fanaticism, and we, in rji'membrance of tluir vir.ue and services, throw open to them our hearts und bid them come and dwell therein. 1 have the honor lo be, Respectfully, your obliged serv't.

The rending of the letlcr was often in terrupted by applause, and when Mr. Sim ons said, "the last letter I shall read to you ii from the Hon. Preston S.

We learn that quite a crowd assembled at runs, K.y., on the 0th, to witness a tri al of power between the Little GUnt nnd the Excelsior Mills, the former of which is owned by Messrs.

In relation the Louisville Courier says: "The grand contest between the corn and coo mills "Little Giant" and ' Excelsior Youug America," attracted no little attention, and despite the rainon both days, a large concourse of people were present to witness tho trial. This, we believe, was the second trial had this sprintr between the contending mills. The present triumph wns for two silver goblets, valued at $00. The judges were appointed by Brutus J.

The house was a substantia! edifice of two stories, surrounded by a corrall, with a stout gateway ; the house consisted of some wenly per8(ns. We had nil reined to rest, nnd were wrapped in slumber, when the loud bark ing ol dogs and halloing of men aroused us suddenly liom our dreams. Expecting' an attack Iroin llie bear parly, (a band of lawless de.-peradors who infest the coun. ry ) all rushed to tl e court-yard, armed a well as the lime permitted, and in cos tumes lite must picturesque, as primitive- nessis u-ually com-ideicd so. The Gene ral, sabre in hand, c ime Inst, he challen"- d the tnlrudt rs Kith: "Quiene ?'' (Who is there?) "Americanos e omjos, arm la jmerta," Americans and fiiends, open the uale. ) the response, n blow accomDanvint the words that made the floor shake again. Ti t demand was perforce complied wi h; nnd a band of some fifty men were pre- enied to our view, mounted nnd airaved as trappers and hunters, and armed to the teeth. Foremost among them, on a black mustang, was a small, sinewy, daik nun. ivi.tenily their leader, with "n tje like Mars to threaten snd cimmaiid," a countenance expiesi-ive of the gieBtest dett rmi-nalion, and a bearing that, notwithstanding his rough dress, stamped him as one born lo command to lead. This was Fremont. "I am an officer of the United States," said he; "I am on my way to Los Ange-los; I must have horses." "But" said Vail. jo. "I said, Mr, I must have them, you will he recompensed by my government. I or der you, sir, to deliver lo my men what Ik rses you have in corrall." Findng remonstiancp' would be of no avail wi'h suoh a man, Vullejo called his vaquerors and gave the requisite directions. Io i lie meanwhile my frit rid D made himoell known to Fremont, having met him in vrastiington. "I have information of Caslro't inten mod to atiacK iios Anoeios. i have six days to r acli there before the outbreak. lor that I need these horses; for 1 must be Ihere at the "death." "But the distance; six hundred miles." said D . "The rondt " "I shall do il," he replied, and turned away lo supervise his arrangements. In half an hour they departed at un ceremoniously as they came, taking with them si me three hundred horses and leav ing us astounded at this and lo wonder if we were yet nwake, or whether it was an unrubstantial dream "Los diablos, exclaimed the Central. "they have taken my wife'ttaddlo hrsel" ro thoroughly had Fremont's lieutenant ex- ruled his order. From 8onoma lo Yerba Buena, the little 1 hamlet where now standi the queen city of the Pacific, San Francisco, he augmented his stock to the number of fifteen hundred, completely clearing the country ; and then commenced one of the most peculiar rol for a fpht evir probably known. uarejy pulling Bridle to devour a Hesk cut from the quarter of a scsrte dead bullock: driving before them their spara horses on, on mey went; the roads at ill timet bad, at this season were konlblet fifty manner, alone and unassisted; and as.with his lace covered with blood, and his reek ing hatchet uplifted, he rode here and there, all fled before him. The route was a complete one. nnd had not Fremont's men been utterly e'x'iaus ed, none would have escaprd. So ended the Ride of tie One Hundred. I would state that the government, with their usual speed in such matters, p issed an appropriation to satisfy General Vail- i i i t .i , . - anu oniers lor uieir norses, m years after. This put a virtual end to the war, for though they again made a s and at Sn Pascal, headed by Pico, still thev were dispirited, and General Kearney with his mounted men aeleaicd iliem with great I...

P. S. Brooks Indorses Itiichanan Letter to the lluchnnau Ratification Meeting at Charleston, S. C. Wa-hincton, D. C, June 16, !85o Gkntlemkn ; Circumstances of a personal character, and over which I have no control, will prevent me from uniting w'nh the m inly number slipi up to him in the A Southern Editor Talking Sensibly of me jtrooKs ana sumner Affair The Minden Herald of June lOih, a pa per published in Claiborne parish, Louisiana, has an article on Brooks, which we bej doughfaces nnd nigger drivers to read: Our opinion is, that Brooks disgraced himself and brought the whole slavery cause into more disrepute than ever, and should be summarily expelled from the House. . w We have read tho debates in Consrress for many years past, minutely and impartially, and never have we known any man so foully and unceasingly abused and vili- neu as tins same Sumner. hvery dog o Southern ai'itaiion, from "Bow" Douw las down to the smallest and most mangy cur unit snarls and wlunes in the unprincipled suck egg train, has been barking nt ins neeis; out the I ict has not been successfully hit, that their spite arises more irom a reluctant knowledge of his cool su P'-'riority of talent, than any real difference ol opinion on principle. Douglas than whom in our humble opinion a more unprincipled and reckless agitator never disgraced the Ssnate Chamber has from lime to time hurled at Stimner all his native nnd well cultivated slang; and then "Og, the King of Bisban" Gen. Cass, the old broken d wn President seeker and inconsistent, freesoiler has never failed to chime in with his more solid invective; and the chorus has bci-n filled to every "bent and bar" with the yelpings of the little wooly headed poodles from the South men who have no more principle, and but little more brains, than the African slave, in behalf of whose chains tiny no injudiciously rave and rant. And finally, under the influence of all this, Sumner becomes somewhat di-s perate, and hurls at his conglom -rated as-1 sailants some thunder-bolts which send them howling in hurried confusion ; and then, ns the last resort of revenge, ote of you in the ratification meeting at Charleston.The i-sue in the pending election of a President is the issue of Union or Disunion ; for if the strength of llie FusiunUta. who now predominate in the lower House of Congress, becomes augmented by Pros idemial power and pattonage, as surely as there is a heaven above us, the temple of Republican Liberty, which our Revolutionary sages erected in moderation, wisdorr, nnd honor, will crumble into rum's, ami every fragment of the wreck will be stain ed wi.h blood. It can never be that the people of fifteen sjvereign States will pas sively -waiK unuer me yoke," white weapons of defense are to be found, and there are the hands of while men to use them.

And is this the way Southern Rights are lo be vindicated? Are these the kind of champions the South must lok to for her defense in the national halls of legt-Iaiion ? Is it by such acts of slavish degradation as this, that the slavery of the Southern States of this free and enlightened Union is to be perpetuated ? Gentlemen may think so, and may rave at any man who has the independence to condemn such conduct par icularly if he is a Southerner ; but we tell them that the citiz ns of this republio are not to be convinced as to what is right and what is wrong by blows, and are not to be brought to a final decision by brute force. Now and Then. Charleston (3.0.) Mercury, Sept. 24. 1847. "the marked and brilliant career of Col.

The difference between a school master and an angina driver is, that one miud tha train, and the other trains the mind. guidance) the relative merits of the Corn and Cob Mills of Messrs. S:ott & Hedges, Cincinnati, known bs the "Little Giant." and of Messrs. Douglas, Sioith & Co , of Ztnesville, Ohio, named "Excelsior Younr America" (Leavitt's Pitent). The trial look place in Parii, Ky., on the 5ih and bill days ot Aliy, 1056. Ihe Little Giant, tri' one hundred revo lutions, cround twelve nnd a half bushels of menl, at an average draft of 469 pounds, oy the dynamometer.

One-half bushel ot the meal gronnd by each mill mss run through a number 4 and a number 6 sieve. The quantity of cobs left in the number 4 sieve, from the meal ground by Young America, was uouoto that of ihe Li lla Giant.

These tests, and an examination of the construction of the mills, led tho committee to the opinion that the Little Giant is the superior mill, and best adapted to the me of the farmer, and they therefore award lo Messrs. Scott & Hedges the two silver goblets. BRUTUS J. CLAY, W. R DUNCAN, B. B. GROOM. C.T.GARRARD, R. HUTOHCRAFT, W, 0. LYLE. The committee state that the grinding surface of the Little Giant is five times greater than that of the Young- America of the same diameter. In order that this may be more clearly understood, we will aute that the most important and valuable improvements have been made in the Little Giant. Instead of a sintrle cone and concave, as in the mills formerly construe' 11 a- n . tea oy Messrs scott it Hedges Mr, Hedges has added an extra shell or cone. presenting two ffiindinir surfaces, which act between the cone and concave of the mill as formerly made. The advantages of this are several and important, The corn and cob, when broken down by the oars oeiow tue hopper, lull into two grinding spaces instead of one, and hence is more thoroughly arted upon, and p-round much finer, while the resistance, or pressure, upon the grinding surfaces is distrio-uted over a larger surface, and consequent ly less liable to break. It will also be seen that the draft upon the horses, in runhing the mills, is about equal, in proportion to the amjunt of corn ground in a given time or by a given number of revolutions. By simply turning ono screw it may be reduced to a single mill, ns in the former with these improvements, performs the snme execution that the No. 4 mill does on the old plan. These are valuable improvements, nnd are imp rlnnt to tho stock growing interests of Kentucky, and place tho Little Giant far in advance of any of tho iron stock mills with which we tire acquainted. Cincinnati Daily Enquirer, May 31, 1S.1C. 3T "Tall" Grindino. We yesterday witnessed the performance of tho "Improved Little Gmnt Corn Crusher," nt the factory of the poprielors, on Woood street, between Fjurtli and Fifth streets. At five o'clock a pair of horses was attached lo tho mill, which is a No. 3. and by no means as powerful as the No. 4 mill manufactured at the same establishment, and which, if wo judge from the wonderful perfoimmco of the No. 3, must bo an exceedingly powerful mill indeed. The corn having been placed in the mill the horses started up and the crushers commenced to work. How they operated may be j.idged from the fact that the mill made twenty-five revolutions in five minutes, and in that time ground fully three bushels of feed with a degree of fineness absolutely wonderful. The mill is so arranged that It can, by simple contrivance, be made to work either as a double or single mill; that is, it can be operated by one or two horses, as occasion may require. Thus, the farmer may have occasion to use one of his horses for some other purpose, and can (till continue to work his mill with Ihe other animal. The great value of this improvement will at once suggest Itself to the practical farmer, snd we can vouch for its feasibility as it was thoroughly tested in our presence yesterday afternoon.

Brooks of The Express, and possbly tha Hon. Preston 8. Urooks of South Carolina.) permit me to say that some time since receiving letters from Ohio, saying that it was being industrously circulated that Mr. Fremont was a Catholic, I went to him and asked hint tho qtrenion; "Are you a Raman Catholic?" He replied, "I am not; I was bred in tho Protestant Episcopal Church, where I still belons. Mv chil dren have baen baptized there, and ther.j my wile goes wttb. me, as a good wifo should." A3 tho denials heretofore made seem to havo given no relief to the Messrs. Brooke. and as we cannot afford to lose them for then the Hon. Preston would be tha on ly famous Brooks alive I suggest to you to inform there of the above through your columns. I do this because I am sure they read The Evening Fort, and I am not sure they read The Express. There wero two other gentlemen of veracity present, to whom 1 shall bo happy to refer tho Messrs, Brooks including the Hon. Preston,Allow me in this connection to suggest to Messrs. Brooks the propriety of investigating the religious views of the other candidates, and to ascertain pinicularly whether or hot they have any. I would also suggest to the Messrs. Brooks, that if they insist upon Mr. Fremont being a Ca holic and a slaveholder too. t!iev mav lead the whole of the Slave Stites. as well as the Free States, to elect Mr. Fre mont. The "Union" then would be safe, I suppose, but where, I ask, would Mr. Fillmore be ? Respectfully ynurs. C. W.

Liit Frnl ty evening I attended a meeting at New Haven for forming a Pathfinder's club. Oae of the largest Halls tha city affords, was crowded almost to tha point of suffocation, and the enthusiasm was unbounded. There wero no boys in the crowd neither, for them there was no room, but men were there, men in wheso coutcnances, determination to redress their country's wrongs was marked in every outline nnd feature. Thrilling speeches were made interspersed with songs, (one of which I send you,) and every thing betokened tho movement of the people. All with whom I converse say to me, "go home and take care of the West, the East is now, and henceforth will be found on the track," Fillmore's Albany speech has kil- , led him in New York and the East.
