Large Immigration from Texas—Settling up
of the Gadhdes PURCHASE.—The immigration
across the soulhern route, at pre.snt,- is repor'ed
by the mail ridere to be o.uite large, upwards of
one hundred wagons having been passed, with
considerable quantities of stock. As the mail
riderB. however, traveled mostly irt the niyht, they
had not much opportunity to elicit information
trom tbe immigrauts. A party of bIx, however.
had been attacked at Puerto del Dado, by the
Apaches, who killed two men and stole sixteen
yoke of cattle. Tbe immigrants mostly iatend
settling in the northern sections of onr State, although their firtt resting places will be in Los
Angeles and Sau Bernardino counties. The letd

plenty ot rain had fallen, it was expected that the

Death »r the Htm. Thomaf J. Rtulc.
Another shining light of the nation bas been
quenched in death. Setvator Rusk died at hl»
home in Texas on the 2?th of July, lt ia stated
tn the telegraphic dispatch that tbi9 event wm
rendered still more painful by tbe fact that the
death of Senator Rusk wh caused by bis own
hand. On this point there may be room for doubt'
An accident might bate taken place, and even if
the testimony is undoubted1 am to the act, from tbe
character of Senator Rusk it is onfy reasonable to
conclude tbat he was at tbe time laboring under
an attack of insanity.
Senator Rusk was one of the pioueera of Texatt
Independence, and on the annexation of Texas
was elected one of her Senators, Since that pe'

A Tell-Tale Machine.
IT seem that 'he Elkctro Ohemical Baths, hayf
decided the vexed question in regard to the
notorious National Hotel disease; one victim
having been fortunate enough to try the baths, as
a laat resort, where'n the "test-plate showd a
heavy deposit of arsenic." This tells a dark tale
on nomebody, and shows how tbe people choose t<
be humbugged, even to death, rather than he cured
by an unpopular agent. The Electrochemical
baths were in use and within the reach of those
victims, but they were in the hands o' Reformers,
hence, but one of the many victims, it seems, resorted to tb m.
I do not claim that the baths are a cure-all. but
tbat they are a powerful agent io renovating-the
human system generally, and thtt they iflfrteJtpel
from the system murcuru. or other mineral poisons, no as to be deen by the naked eye ; showm
clearly the absurdity of the Alopathic practice,
and why the Doctors decry these tell-tale machines.
Should there be any in thia "ommunily. independent enough to investigate these things foi
themselves, they may find it to their advantage to
call on the undersigned, who administers the
baths, and is a dealer in electro magnetic ma
chines for family use, giving all necessary directions.

Arrival of tUe Overland Mail.
Thiriy-feur daysjrom San Jiutonio !
Latest Dateb.—San Antonio de B*-x»r, July
24; El Paso, Aug. 7; Tueson.  Aug. 19; Pimo
Villages, Aug. 21; Port Yuma, Aug 26.
We tak^ pleasure in announcing M> our reader*-
in the upper couutry, that the Overland Maih-
which left San Antooio. Texas, on the 9th and
24th of July, under the contract enreted into be
tw en the Government and James E Birch. Esq.
ol Sacramento, arrived on the 31st ult., at noon,
precisely, in charge ot Mr James E.Mason, the
party ot the 24th having mrde the trip in tbe un-
prfced.ntedly short time ol thirty-four traveling
days, tbe entire trip oacupying thirty-yight d-rys.
Tbe event naturally cn-ated the greatsst ei tlm-
siasm among out pei.ple, and was hailed witb a
salute of one hundred anv,Is, the Bring of (rack-
era, and the general congratulations of the citizens. It was looked upon aB tbe most important
event which has ever occurred in the annals ot
San Diego, aud undoubtedly constitutes an ep< ch
iu the history of the Pacific coast of tbe Union,
which will be recorded aod remembend with ju«t
pride,Ionic after the mails will have beeu trans-j
ported on the great continental railroad, the first
mil ot which muy be thus said lo have b"en laid. I
Mr Ma*on lett Nan A.itonio on the 9th of July,
in company with four men. The time afforded
lor prepaiation was exceedingly short so tbat no
relays of mules could be sent ahead, and even the
imais ri< dea b> the party had to be picked up
they coi,ld be found, at a tew hours notice. 01
course tbis c»used a material dHay, which was
unfortunately Btill farther augmented by the sickness of the couductor At El Pa o, however, they
took an ambulance, and had proceeded as far as
Oieneyade t^auz. when tbey were overtaken by
the party which lelt San Antonio with the mail of
the 24th, in the charge of Capt. James Skillmj^,
who had comi in an ambulance the entire dii-tance
from San Antonio, without encountering any difficulty on the road. The two parties theu proceeded together as far as the Pimo Villages, where
Mr. Mason took both mails, and with one companion, pushed on with pavk mules, making the
trip to San Diego in tbe unequalled time of nine
.lays, across the worst part ot tbe entire route, iu-
.ludi   g lbe great Olorado desert.
The gr»ateBt confidence i» entertained that fhe
entiie trip can be made in twenty-five daya. Tbe
arrival ol these trains is a compete viudicatio ot
e character, motives and judgment of ihe Ca' i-
t which selected tbe mute, and the Postmaster
General who awarded the contract. It wabselect-
ed because it was the best, aud the awaid wae
made calmly and deliberately, ii. the lace of at.
unequalled storm ot invective and reproach from
the northern papers. The result has proved cum-
pliii.ly on which side was tbe right, aod although
we do not expect such papers as ihe N-w York
Tribune to acknowledge tbeir errors, (to U"e no
harsher term) we hope they will, at least, have
the decency to belie the southern route ni. long. r.
Mi'. Mason inlorms ns tbat they found an abundance of water along the entire route. On the
eighty-mile desert between luesoti and the Gila-
watei was lound iu three or four pl.ces, iu suffl
eieut quantities to supply hundreds of animals.

iTTACKS OF THK INDIANS—LOSS  OF STOCK. ETC.. KTC
Mt. Mason's party saw no Indians after they left
F.l Paso, and hut tew before that. Capt. Skillman.
howiver informed him that subsequent to his departure, a parly o! L \ ans and .wescalores attacked a party of six men who were proceeding t<
Fort Clark, wilb twenty-tour mu es for relays, be
tween the two crossings ol th« San Pedro oi
Devil's river, in Texas, and killed one man, wound
ed another, and pjssess.d themselves ol theentire
band of animals, one of which, huwever, was sub
B.quei.tly recovered. Had these mules reached
Fori Clark safeh. so that tbey cou id have been
used for relay-, Capt. Skillman says becould nave
made the trip to El P«so in ten days, winch would
have brought tbe mail to San Die«o iu th.ny
days exactly
Il was also stated that the same tribt'B, {Lipans
and Mescalines.) had attacked a party ot eigb
teen U.S. troops, (iufantry.) who were Btatiooed
nt Devil's river, and had succeeded in dr vtng
'ihem Irom the post. No lives are reported losi.
Thi se tribes numher hut lew warriors, but-aie

— a sign that tliey will accept no reconciliation.
Tne OiimauobtiS appear lo be quiet.
well secured from the Indians, vast tracts offend
will be taken up. In tbe Purchase are included
Borne of the finest lands in the United States.
Tbe mail party whicb left San Diego on the 9th
ult, nd wbich it will be remembered was detained by very much the same accident which delayed
the first train from S«n Antonio, was met on ibe
Gi'a close to the Pimo villages, pushing rapidly
ahead, and witb every prospect of making schedule
time. The out train of the 24th, was met near
Indian wells, on tbe Colorado deBert, in good
spirits, and making good time.
Tbe wagon load commission, witb Mr. Leacb at
itn head, were expected daily at San Antonio,
when the mail of the 24tb left—the party having
been drtained at Memphis watting for the paymaster, Mr. Leacb had oi.e hundred und forty
men engaged, wilh eighty wagons, and would increase liis complement of men to four hundred in
Texas and the territory adjoining.
Lieut. Beale passed through Fort Fillmore thirteen days before the arrival of the mail, to commence operations ou the road from Albuquerque
west, lor the improvement of which $5O,O0U was
appropriated by the last Co. gress. He bad twenty-four camels with him, which were enjoying excellent health. The party were ail in good epiritB,
and would push rapidly forward to the scene of
theii labors.
Capt. Pope was at Indianola when the mail left
with his appaiatus for boring Artesian wells on
the desert. It was not stated on what road he
would commence operations, but it was believed
be would follow Lieut. Beale.
Major Bliss has proceeded to Culabazas as paymaster to the troops there. Hit- arrival had been
anxiously expected lor a long time.
Cora was Belling at the Pimo villages at $6,00 a
fauega.

From  Lower  California.
The following intelligence has been receivod
by way ot Mazatlan: —
From Lower California we have exciting and
distressing intelligence.    Some two months ago
about three hundred Indian prisoners from Guadalajara arrived  at this place  and were  eent to
La PaZ, Lower California, where  the brother of
Gen.Yauez commands a force of one huudred men.
It appears that the Indians, by a well concocted
plan, effected their escape   almost immediately
after their arrival,  carrying  with tbem many
arms taken  from the military, and are now engaged in ravaging and  devastating ranches of
that State.     Tbis is what I hear.   Yesterday fifty
soldiers of the Bame color as the Indians, were
sent over to La Paz to reinforce Geueral Yanez.
The great event of the week has been tlie imprisonment of the American Consul.     I am sorry
that I cannot enter into all the details in this, but
as roei i ly a memorandum of passing events, I will
slate that it was brought about by certain parties
attempting to sell the American schooner Ad>
whe,ber or no, despite of all law and justice, that
in this tbe Mexican Court, or the Judge who presides, was found but too willing to enter iuto to is
nehrious transaction ; that as became  his duty
lhe American Consul, Captain Charles B.Smith
protested against tbecbange ot flags, and prevent!
ed her from being sold, which po incensed the
Judge that he sent for the American CohfuI to his
urt. wheu be openly reprimanded the Consul
tor doing an act that, bad be neglected to do, he
ould have been false lo bis oaib of office and du-
ties inenmuent upon him as Consul.    Not satisfied
with tbis, he fined him lor contempt of court one
huudr-d dollars which M . Smith refused to pay,
as it was not set down in tlie schedule of expenses
incident to tbe Consulate, and, on retusing, was
conveyed a prisoner by an armed force to the pub
lie jail otMazatlan.   The different Consuls iu tbe
city, and there are some four or five, immediately
took this outrage iu hand, aa it was a direct insult
ou their office, «s well as to the United States
Government, and before night bad expired, Geu.
Yanez sent for the Judjjeand made him go in person and liberate tha Consul.    (What kind  ol  s
rumeut ib this, tbat a military officer com
 j^ t[)e civil t    Does-it not show that, t -e Gen
who made tbe Judge release the Consul might
have also, had be beeu a bad man, consented to
tbe outrage or made it worse? and, does it not
i-how that where American interests are concerned
ihey aie continually jeopardised, and insult upon
insult ottered to our Government at every opportunity fromGuaymaBto Tehuantepec? Thealfa.r
of Sonora has made them no valorous lhat any
i tweuty of Lhein are ready to castigate any Oue m-
d.viduul that co- eB along.) The Cousul, alter hi-
rulease very sensibly came to the conclusion that
bv hisi'mpusoumenl be was v.riua ly broken ot
his office, by t e Mex can Government, and there-
lore bag shot up the American eagle, closed his
office and plac d the interests of the United
Siaies ior the lime b> ing, ID the b..uds ul the entire Consulate body ol Mazallau. where 1 believe
II be more respect.d  thau  if our Minister
atesmansliip Senator Rusk was a worthy com*
J>eer of Clay, Webster, Cass. Dickinson and Douglas, and to this he added tbe eharaster of a courteous aud finished geutleman.
In pei Boost popularity Senator Rusk had no
superior, and the Democratic party looked up to
him as one of the truest and roost consistent ofthe
national school. Had he lived he would have
been undoubtedly one of tbe most prominent of
tho e statesmen to whom the party would have
looked to select its next standard bearer, and he
deserved every mark of public honor and coaQ*
dence.
The loss of snch a man ib a publie calamity, for
while he steadfastly maintained the rights of the
South with aM the force of hiB manly eloquence
and profound reason, he never forgot the claimt
of the Union, Tbe Democracy bave lost an earnest champion, the country an honest statesman,
and his owu State an able defender and glorious
representative.—N. F. News.
Got. Mabct's Death—Sinoglar Presenti*
me.nt.—It is generally known that tbe daughter
of Gov. Marcy passed the 4tb ot July in the fam'
iiy of an acquaintance in this ci'y. hhe formed
one of a circle of friends, including ladies and
gentlemen, at the house during the day. While
aU the otherB were in cheerful spirits, it waB observed in the forenoon that Miss M. appeared to
be depressed in mindv So obvious was this to ber
companions, that it wag made the subject of remark, when she said her mind was unacountably
impressed with the fear that some Bignal calamity
had overtaken some members of ber family. Early
in the afternoon, the news of the death of Gov.
Marcy reached this city, and it was known to gentlemen composing the party in which MtssM. was, .
some time before it was communicated to her.
While the gentlemen were in a room by themselves, discussing the manner ot conveying to the
daughter the sad intelligence, and before shu
could by any means have received the-least inti.
ration ofthe event, she suddenly threw her hand'
kercbiet over ber face, and evidently in deep
f retired alone up stairs,— Troy  Whig, July

The trial of the officers of the American clipper
ship John Wade terminated in a verdict ol manslaughter againBt the second mate, steward, and
carpenter, and a sentence of transportation for
life ; and in the acquittal of the captain and hii
chief officer, of the charge of aiding or abetting*
or bdn^ accessory alter the fact.
From Ningpo, we learn that tbe quarrel betwixt
the Cantonese and Portuguese has at length
reached a climax, and that a severe struggle has
taken place in which they were defeated ; but tbe
treatment the latter bate received, so far as we
can gather, the sufferers have brought entirely
upon themselves, by their long continued outrageous behaviour. On the 25th of June, a large
fle-t ol Canton east-coast junks from Funchau
made their appearance In the river, and took possession of alt the Portuguese lorchas in port without much resistance, the crews escaping on shore.
The CanUmese, led on by some foreigners, closely
foi owed, and alter some fighting, totally routed
the Portuguese—but not until about twenty had
beeu killed. Tbe loss of tbe victors was by no
means smalt, and amongst tbose slain were an
Englishman and a Frenchman. Every place occupied by Poituguese was plundered; Marqus,
their Consul, escaping by concealing himsell in
tbe Roman Catholic chapel.
COL. Bfktox.—A Wasningluu letter Says :—
'■Colonel Benton waa more serioosly injured by
tbe recent railroad accident than be is inclined to
admit. Though he continues to work in order to
keep ahead oi his engagement with the publishers
of the appendix, that which was ouce i labor of
love has become, iu consequence of this shock to
bis syst- m a toil not without suffering. His back
U paintul under any protracted sitting, and writing requires all the exertion of his strong wiil to
overcome physical suffering at times."
A Faih Compromise.—Mr. Huber. who own »
Mexican grant iu Butte county, has ottered to compromise with the settlers upon bis claim upon
very fair terms.    The North Calijorntan sayB :—
He will dispose of his title in all instances, to
those in occupation, or there who bavo ao equitable right thereto, and not to speculators. He saya
he claims no improvements or back rent, and ia
proof of bis Btncerity in this Tespect, be made an
affidavit before tbe Board of Equalization, that he
neither owned or claimed improvements of any
kind in tbe county.
