E. P. RUSSELL'S   PATENT.
"FRANCIS   MELLUS,
HAVING-purchased the patent right ofthe above
valuable invention, for the purpose of 'supplying the counties of Los Angeles, Sau Bernardino
.uid San Diego, is now' prepared to execute all orders with which ho may be favored.
The public are aware that it has been tbe study of
scientific men, architects and builders, for many year
to discover au article for Roofing pnrpoSeSj that will
withstand sudden changes of climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against fire. The
Inventor of this rooting labored many years to combine articles which would answer tho above purpose
and obviate tbe difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, and tho destruction by
the sun and frost of the various compositions used
fbr roofing. This he succeeded in doing, and now,
after six years of tho severest trial we would invite
the carefui attention of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will bo fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects we believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of every description, either steep or flat, and
cau be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost of the latter.
Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In preparing tbis roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water-proofpreparation, alter which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of {the
flour of soapstono, whicb sets into the texture of the
canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is put upon tho roof, another coating of mastic,which
is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it
fireproof in "every respect. By exposure, tbis coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that
can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as anything known; and wc do most candidly
aud unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered; and after a severe test
of many years, stand as reliable and good as when
first put on, without change or decay. All that we
ask is, that a careful examination may bo given it,
and wc feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which wo offer of it. Annexed wc give
you the names of some of the persons using tliis
roofing, and to whom we are at liberty to refer:

Acapulco on the llth, making tho diatai
days and a few hour?.    The eea .vub onl
by slight breeses all tlio ^'ay.
On the Sabbath there was pi-enehinj; upon the
hurricane deck iu tho eveuitig. ami in the steerage in the afternoon. Lvery thing was orderly
and   the  crowded   company of hearers  ap]ie!\red
very attflntiirft-^imaflftdttaiA tb«.Sabbaili could
be thus oL^crvcd upo;i the great deep. The singing was excellent, There, upon the deck, your
correspondent hud the privilege of baptizing the
infant sou of Mr. and Mrs. Gray, of Uenieia—(;tho
first child," the Captain remarked, ever christen,
ed ou the'racifie. Ocuau. Tho sacramaut waa made
solemn aud remarkable by the circumstances.
After leaving tho Age, we were soon aboard Die
Oregon, and passed out of lhe beautiful harbor of
Acapulco, about 7 in tho evening, before the
eteamer wo had lait had finished her coaliug, and
started again upon ber voyage. We parted from
that pleasant company of friends amidst the flying
of rockets, with deep, regret that we must lose
their society, each party lacing the uncertainties
of their voyage. Captain Hudson, of the Oregon,
treated his passengers like guests. We felt great
relief in the freedom of the fine ship, opeu to the
pleasure of but a score of travelers.   Each one had
a room to himself, and the rooms are very large	
like the apartments of one's house. We shall not
soon forget the agreeable pleasure of that cool ship
in that hot climate—its free baths and its luxurious fruits. On Wednesday evening at six o'clock,
we dropped anchor in the harbor of Ventosa, seven
days and twenty hours from San Francieco. The
whole sea had been ae smooth as a Inks. The surf
boats came oat very soon and took us off.
The country about Ventosa is a low sand plain.
A bold promontory of yellow rock plunges iuto
the eea, a hundred rods on the south, forming a
small bay, affording shelter from tho westerly
winds, otherwise quite exposed. We landed beautifully amidst the foaming of the breakers. They
bave the finest of boats, and the landing is said to
bo perfectly Bale, and is very quickly done. Ventosa is a creature of the Company—they bave
made it. Od!y a ievr houses for the shelter of men
and animals, and boats. It fs 13£ miles from the
eil.y of Tnhuantcpec; wham the Btft£6fl W kflpt ;
being a day ahead of our usual timo, they were
not waiting for us at Ventosa, and did not arrive
till about noon, then a few hours moro were required to feed the horses, and nt 4 p. m. we were
equipped for Tehuantepec. Tims the whole day
was spent in a most uninteresting place, and the
only relief to the warm sluggish monotony was a
fine sea bath in tho breakers, tho most cxhilerat-
ingl ever knew. The water waa mild and the
breakers rolled over us magnificently. This place
is ia latitude 16° 11'; longitude 95° 05'west.
Here we strike into tho midst of tropical vegcta.
tion. The road was sandy, and we walked on a
mile, excited by curiosity. The cactus is a remarkable feature of these woods. It grows as a
tree, laree as a man's body, aad branching out into fluted columns, six to eight inches iu diameter.
Sometimes you see ono Buch column rising 15 or
20 feet round, and larger at tho top than at lbe
bottom, looking like a club of Hercules. It bears
a beautiful flower. The wood of the country is a
scion of it, very hard, very heavy. The steps of
the old Cathedral at Tehuantepec are made of It,
and are said never to.have been replaced, but have
lain there for 300 years. They show now but little wear!
We reached Tehuantepec at 7 P.M.; were lodged
in an adobe house, court-shaped, tiled after the
Mexican style, the court growing with cocoa trees.
We were handsomely entertained at tho San Francisco Hotel. Arose in the evening and went down
to the river. The banks on each side were swarming with men, women and children, bathing, promiscuously ; washing, filling their urns with water
and bearing them away j leading in their horses
and allowing them to roll aod splash about. I
never before beheld such a scene, That river to
them is what the Ganges is to tha Hindoo, or Uie
Nile to the Egyptian. It is now in tho dry season,
about thirty yards acrofss, and about two feet in
depth on an average. It is a beautiful stream and
must roll, .a heavy volume in the rainy season-
Tehuantepec contains, as estimated, 16,000 inhabi"
tants, nearly all natives of the country—probably
descendants of Aztecs. They are well shaped;
tho meu strong, and the women beautiful. Many
of them are very dark ; all aru '"children ofthe
bud." The city bas seventeen churches. Tho old
Cathedral is the venerable place. Its walls of
brick are very heavy; its dimensions, wilh tlie
nvent, all in one structure, cover an immense
lent. The convent is now a garrison of soldiers
of tlie Libera! party ; this church taking sides
against the Religionists. Tho Padre, to whom I
was introduced, is said to be a very liberal, educated, and most excellent man. He expressed lo
me sentiments of toleration to all sects and croed^,
which of course, commanded my hearty approval.
The market of Tehuantepec shows much of tbe
national manners. Tbe products arc held fer sale
ntirely by the women. Their head;; arc covered
by a white flowing drd-H, reaching down upon the
oulders ; alight vandykc )h thrown about the
chest, and a piece of colored cloth wrapped round
waist and fa.tuned, reaching below '-ho krtfjt-:- :
(Iii;-; is-; the whole diu-s. Hundreds; are together,
and their appearance can never be forgotten by
tbe beholder. The beat hero seems not to be op-
pref-rivo to one in the shade, but rnurt bo very en"
rating.

There i-- nowhere a more beautiful stream Millieienl

log | Uie long ;dn.:tehing phdas, a:ul the bold Stfl.

We were in onr stages again at '.'. v. m, and away.
The sun was not oppressive. Wo had leisure to
admire all tim curiosities of vegetation and of -oil-
Tbe road stretches through a benutiful tract of
country, apparently rich, but aU uncultivated
rolling lands, valleys and mountains. We came
into the (Jhivili PaSB in the evening. Here are
grand mountains ami deep gorges, aud wide prospects ; we could not fully realize them by moonlight, lt is the best mountain road I ever traveled, a road made Iiy great labor. We rendied
Serabia river, the next station, at ll in the evening, and slept on cots or in hammocks. Here lhe
night was cool, nnder blankets we were chilly
We were now in the midst of the Isthmus; had
passed the dividing ridge and were on the Atlantic slope. Our Pacific home seemed now far behind ns. That ocean, with its pleasing associations, was out of our sight, it might be forever.
Oftlie fare on the Isthmus, we may say that it
was better than wo expected. Chickens and egga
wore plenty up'to this time, though the meat was
of au inferior quality, whatever it might be Batter, wc learn ie not seeu in Mexico. Their bread
is crushed corn, cooked flat, like Yankeo slapjacks, and is very good : it is called Tortillas, and
is the bread of tbo natives, They ali.
beans, or frijolies.
On Saturday.evening alO-. o'clock, we left Se.
rabia, hoping to reach  Suehil, and   go   down tlir;
river that night, but  the   teams wen  vary  poor
and weak, and our progress slow.    Th e  last notorious fifteen miles was entered upon at ■! p. m , after resting a couple of hours.    The  poor  animals
were scarcely able to drew the coaohes,  and   Iho
passengers walked nearly   tlie whole distance.—
Bain came on, and the teams broke   down, unable
to drag up the slippery hills, and we   camped  out
beside a Btream.   Some huddled around a  lire,
some swinging up their  hammooks in   tho trees,
ana covered  themselves up  with   bhinkets,   and
soma slept iu the coaches.   It was a hard night.-—
With the break of dny that sabbath   morning,  the
drivers wora feeding Iheir  teams, and soon wer«
started, under a lovely sky,   for Suchill, eight
miles distant. The sky lighted op, and we came
sight ofthe place where we were to embark upon
the water; we were ushered thereby no "church-
going bells ;" nothing appeared like the Christain
Sabbath,   At IU a. m., wa entered our canoes, aud
put out iuto the streum,   roffeel   by   (our  brawny
natives, directed by a white mania   the idem  of
thoboat.    The river at this   place is   larger   than
the Yuba atMarysville.    We floated on  under onr
umbrellas, delighted witli fhe change of travel.—
Every thing was still and ipiief, a nice cool breeze
fanned us; we were  in  fine epirils and excellent
health,  lhe  still   luxuriant forest on each  hand,
pressed in brilliant colors, echoing wilh the songs
of birds, could tw easily imagined, aa   in  an   attitude of Sabbath devotion,   We met the boats of
up-river passengers in the afternoon, blessed them,
and wished them well.    At twilight wo sang  the
old fashioned hymns that onr memories-preserved.
We lay to a few hours in   tlie night,   which   was
chilly, built a large fire, and kept   na   comtortable
as we could.   At dsty-hreak,   the  cry of the monkeys, in a grand concert across the river, and the
chattering of parrots, wero   the signal for a frehh
embarkation.     Iiy tho way,  this monkey cry is
like the roaring of lions.   The provisionson   Lhe
river were from supplies carried with   us.    Every
traveler should be well stocked.    Still wo Uoated
on until about noon, when we came upon   fhe river steamer,   twenty-six  hours from Suehil.    We
were now   about forty miles    from  Minatitlan,
whero we were to tnke the ocean steamer.
We were soon under way, and came in sij;ht of
tho town of 5,000 people picturemjucly situated;
came along side ol the new ocean steamer, C'oatza-
r.oalcon, about ■! !'. M-, of Monday, loth of April,
thirteen days and some hours, from San Francisco. We had been upon fhe is-thmus six
days. It was- an unnecessarily slow, protracted
transit. There is great and culpable inefficiency
on the part of the Company's agents. There appears a fatal want of energy. Wa are allowed lo
remain at Ventosa nearly all day, before we could
get away. Then ar.other day at Tchauntepcc.—
This looseness waH observable everywhere upon
Ihe land transit. Instead of setting out in tlie
cool of the evening, would start at SJ k. m. Tbe
whole crossing could aa well be done fa three days
as six. The stages, accompanied by agents on
horseback, for assistance in case of accident, or defence if attacked, were abandoned by them in the
most dangerous part of the rood, when korses
were lailiog and teams giving out, and tho paimm-
gers had lo act in their place. The mail agent
employed to keep liis eye ou lhe 1/. S, .Mai!, v;\\h
no where near it, that night, bnt la; sleeping in
Suehil], the mail could have been robbed with
perfect impunity. We are willing to make allowance for embarrassments for wind of fan-Is .ius L s-.t

Our passngo from Minatitlan to New Orleans
was the ipnekest ever made, two day.-. :>;■■.! :i;,

21st April 10 days from San Erancisco. If M
had been met by the samo energy upon ihe buul
transit as we have been by sea, upon both aides
of the continent, wc should have aceom, dished the
journey in thirteen days. U e:iu easily bo done.
Nature haa provided everything for this route,
amlitmusl.be the qulokest and pleasantesl way
to and from California, for all who Itvu io tho

We meet here a stern-wheel sleanier, on her way
to ply upon tho Uoatxacoalas i-iver, between Minb

We cannot hut admire Ihe readiness with which
tho Bavans of.the French .Horticultural Society.
engage In scientificrerenrch In bob ail of (ho Orange Culture away In ihis part of tim world. And
if thoy shall suocced In finding an effectual remedy, they will certainly be entitled u> the gratitude ofall Californians—if not of the world at
large. Form believe the ravages of this insect
aro widespread—at least on this continent, Wo

specimens of tho insect as asked for, and wliich

Jn your number ot :'0th January last, I observed
an article headed thus : "Culture of lhe Orange
Tree—Increasing Numbers of a Destructive In-
tt:-:/—Jlniicdies tried in vain—More potent once
wanted."   After reading those Items with Inti nso
interest, I thought it my duty to answer (In tho
sphere of rny abilities, and as fur as circumslancca
would permit,) tho earnest call'of the orange cultivators of Los Angeles. Accordingly, I wrote to
the "Societe Imperials tt dent rale d'Horticulture de XYanee," Informing it of tbo desolating
fact, and asking remedies. The Society has not
been deaf to lhe call, nnd ll.rec of our most learned
entomologists, Dre. Botsfinrsl, GneVlo Menoyillo
and AuM have been entrusted with the mission ol"
inquiring, first, as to the reality of the facts mentioned, and ne.vt. into I bo cause's and effeeli; of Iho
plague, -'.DU furthermore, to indicate proper remedies, ifany be within their knowledge. This was
done about the I Oth of March last ; bu; I perceivo
by a further investigation of the matter, thattbesfl
savans are hindered from going further in their
researches, owing to Iheimpow-ibiljly of ascertaining cxac'ly wind kind of insect is thu ; ravaging
the orange' garden* of Los Angelea. This draw"
