Tlie Mission of San Liais Key.
Snt—As I have just relnrncd from   the (east,
held at the Mission of San Luis Rey, I purpose
iving you a short sketch of the  many   incidents
witneseed while there.   First, I will give a de-
acriptiou of the Miss-ion :
The Mission of San Luis Itey is situated on the
Pacilic coast, iu a north-west direction from this
eity, distant about forty-five miles. The building
known as tho Mission was commenced in 1705,
sixty-five years ago, under the immediate direct"
on and supervision of tho old San Franciscan
school of priests, or padres, who first settled this
part of Calilornia. They were sent here from
Mexico as missionaries nnd were the supreme rulers ol the land at that time, aud as they were ever
noted for their indomitable energy and perseverance in all labors pertaining to their church and
religion we find them here laboriously engaged
n raising up fabrics for the protection of their
converts and themselves, as well as for a suitable
place in which to worship the ever-living God. according tu tbeir prescribed form of religion. Who
at the present day would think for a moment of
constructing a building, or more properly a castle,
ring an area of eleven aud one quarter acres
of ground, nearly as much as St. Paul's in Rome,
with a line chin eti, the main aisle of which is 100
'eet in length, and the height of the cupola 85
feet from the floor. The Inside of the church,
even now, in its dilapidated and ruinous state,
presents a very respectable appearance,  vividly
pressing the mind with its former splendor
The altar, in iny opinion, is one of the most beautiful I ever saw ; its plain simplicity strikes one
so forcibly with a religious sense of feeling, that
you seem elevated to another sphere, where the
majesty and grandeur of God seem to be the presiding elements of all realization. The building
of this edifice alone, is an undertaking of no small
importance. But, in addition to this, think of a
trueture 448 feet square, built around a plaza or
court-yard, which has a doable corridor all around,
xLcnding on arches, whose pillars on cither end
number forty, and are ten feet apart, and on the
sides 44, at the same distance. . The front of the
building has thirty-two arches, with sixty-four
pillars fourteen feet apart, with a height of forty
leet from roof to floor. And all this built wheu
there were no mechanics or artisans of any cxpe-
e'e here, except oue or two master builders,
who, through the beuign and genial influence of
gion, took the wild and untutored savage from
forest hyme and hunting grounds, converted
him to the belief of Christ aud Christianity, and
after this used him to build the structure, which
occupied twenty years, and was wholly constructed by the labor of converted Indians. It is built
mostly of adobes, except the arches and floors,
which are of brick about a foot square and two inches thiclc. One can scarcely imagine how it is
possible that snch an immense undertaking could
be successfully carried on, wheD made acquainted
with the surrounding circumstances.
The least is the anniversary   of the commence-
ent of the building, the layiug of fhe corner
stone ; this took place on the day of the birth of
San Luis, whence the name of ihe place and feast,
hich is celebrated on the 25th day of August.
All who attend generally make it a point to ar
ive there on the day before, aud an observer will
as suddenly see the old, ruined aud owl-haunted
castle turned inlo a Montgomery or Broadway, as
e sceues in some tragic theatrical performance
are changed from a building to a city thronging
with its bu?y inhabitants. The usual annusemeuts
consist in going to church, where on this occasion
High Mass was most impressively performed by
our well beloved and worthy Padre Jnan MoUnicr,
iu the morring ; firing salvos of cannon,- bullfighting, &c, during the day, and in the evening
a baile, which closes the first day. A rcpitition
of this generally follows for some three days more,
interspersed uow aud then by a horse race, or au
Indian foot race, which is said to be a very exciting scene, and on which occasion frequently large
sums of money changed hands. They usually run
from eight to twelve miles, and kick a round
wocden ball ahead of them, the one who runs the
whole dislance. and kicks the hall into the goal
first, is declared the winner.
As is usual at such gatherings, large quantities
of bad whiskey was drauk, and in coiifcquence of
this many incidents occurred that were amusing
to tho eye-witnesses, aud some that will not do to
read.
It is estimated there were three thousand persons present at the festival.
Nathaniel Spaflurd has been arrested at Bennington, near Troy, on suspicion of poisoning his
wife, whom he wished to get rid of, so that he
might marry another woman, to whom he had
beeu attached for some time. Tho poison was
ministered in coffee.
Gen. William F. Gordom, formerly a member of
Congress from Virginia, died very suddenly at
his residence, Albermai le county, on the 21st ult.
He complained of feeling faint, aud lying dowu
immediately expired.
A late seizure ol sugar in New York produced
developments which resulted in the seizure ol a
cargo worth $12;00f>; in Boston, on the 28th July,
for false entry and undervaluation.
A voung lady while walking iu the vicinity of
Enterprise. Clark counly, Miss., was assaulted and
violated by a uegro, who was arrested and lodged
in jail, but a mob soon after assembled, took liim
out and hung him.

Tl^ Colorado Expedition*
The Lawrence (Kansas) correspondent of the
Boston Journal, under date of July 20, gives the
following account of Ihe arrival ot Lieut. Ives'
Colorado expedition at that city, with some particulars in regard to their long and toilsome journey :—
Lieut. Ives' Colorado exploring oxpeditton passed tbrOugb town this afternoon on their way to
Fort Leavenworth. It will be remembered that
alter ascending the Colorado from tho Gulf of
Citlil'oruia to above the month ofthe Virgin River,
a distance of 250 miles, in the light draught,
steamer sent out for thc purpose, (he commander
returned to the Pacific, leaving the teams and mini
to ci oss the country of the upper Colorado towaid
Santa Fe, on their route home. Accompanying
the train was Dr. 3. S. Newberry, surgi'pn aud
geologist of the expedition, with Geo. II. Peacock,
train-master, B. MiiUhnnsen, artist, aud F. W.
Eglofjfestein, topographer.
The doctor speaks of the upper Colorado valley
as being extremely rich in geological developments, picturesque and striking in scenery, but
utterly bairen and valueless for the purposes ot
civilizathm. They have brought a large number
of fine specimens, geological, ethnological, and
botanical, as well as a complete sketch of the topography of this hitherto unknown region. Their
exploration bave been confined to the Sflth and
37th degrees of latitude. Thoy left Lieut. Ivea
February 15th, consequently they have been over
five mouths engaged in thoir work. They have
been sixty days on the direct trip home. After
leaving the Colorado ihey struck the San Juau
river, and then Lieut. Bealo's route, which they
report to bo the best and most suitable route for
the great Pacific Railroad. They left Santa Fe
on the 20th of June, consequently they have been
thirty days from that point. All the men and
teams looked .-exceedingly ha>d, and Ilie men
seemed glad to return to civilization. There were
six Uams of six mules each, and two ambulances
for tho officers. They report stories of extensive
Indian depredations in Arizona to be unfounded.
The Apaches had confined themselves this season
to taking a few head of cuttle." They passed a
body of 1700 Indians at the head of the Colorado.
They were in their war paiut, but could not learn
their destination. The Navajos in New Mexico
made a descent and sto'e a large numher of cattle
from a military post. They were recovered, and
some forty head of Indian cattle killed. This is
all the news of interest the expedition brings.
Tbey report the route to Santa Fe as having beeu
nearly destitute of water. They had to travel
sixty miles without any, on one occasion. The
late rains will mako it abundant.
Iniha.n War at thk North.—Our correspondents "mlorm ns that, July 18th, the Third Artillery; under command cf Capt. E. D. Keyes, reached Walla Walla, after a fatiguing march of twelve
days from the Dalle,1.. They numbered about .'!0(*
men. They have been ordered to advance sixty
miles iuto the Indian country, to throw up fortifications on Snake river. There the column under
command of Colonel Wright will arrive about a
eek af erwards, on their way to meet the S^okuna
and olher hostile tribes. It is expected that Maj.
Wyse's company will remain at the fort ou Snake
river, and the rest join the column. The expedi
tion is arranged for four months, and will consist
of 190 Dragoons. 400 Third Artillery, and 90 Infantry. Total. 680. Besides these there are two
hundred camp followers, packers, wagoners, etc.
The following aro the officers attached to this expedition : staff—First Lieutenant P. A. Owen. Acting Assistant Adjutant General ; Captain R. W.
Kirkhatd, Assistant Quiirlermnster ; J. P. Hammond, Assistant Surgeon ; First Lieutenant J.
Mullen, Acting Topographical Engineer. First

G. O. Hill, M. R. Morgan, James L, White, D. B.
Ransom Lawrence Kip, Robert O. Tyler, II B.
Lyon, George P. Ihrie and James Howard. Tbey
were to rnuich from Walla Walla about August
10th. In the meanwhile, Colonel Steptoe ia lelt
in command of lh;*.t post, wilh tbe remainder of
the Infantry and Dragoons, numbering about 200
men.
A party ofthe Nez Perces had been into camp,
to have a talk with Col. Wright. Ite was to select
guides Irom them, but it is doubtful how far they
cau bo trusted. A phrt of the tribe was decidedly
hostile. 'The friendly Indians report the hostile
tribes to be in force from 2,500 to 3,000 flushed
with the victory over Col. Steptoe. and determined that the troops shall not cross Snake river.
It is feared by many that the expedition has entirely too little strength to meet the Indians. The
officers attached to it. have no doubt, but lbe Indians will await them, «nd a severe light take place.
The six-pounders will Im lelt at the fort on
Snake river, and tho howitzers be carried with the
column. A short time may bring ua exciting
news.—San Francisco Alta.

that Governor Weller having made application at

The President of the United States, in company

Hnrd ^Imea on Frmer River.
Mr. John H, Keatlnpr, late of Big Oak Flat. Tin*

Bteamer Pacilic, and desires to give those who contemplate going to Fraxer River, the benefit of bii-
experience in lhat "great gold country/'

OH the 25th of July. lie has worked aud prospected on all the bars between Fort Hope and
Fort Yale, and his best "prospect" was less than,
two cents to the pun, and that iu such small par.,
tides that it was almost impossible to'save it. Hu
has beeu on New York, Texas, and Foster's Ba:i,.
and at none of these places did he Bee any cue prt-
tending to be making more than four dollar* per
day, and not one-fifth of ihem are making that
much. lie saw Beveral who said- they had tuken

but they were very anxious to sell their claims it
the low price o( four hundred1 dollars. The moat

There are, he says, nearly three thousand' merr
on the river between Fort Hope and Font Yule,,
and nine-tenths of them are iu the most wretched!
condition imaginable—depending for their living
on tho charity of tho new-comers, and the little-
they can steal during thu night-time. They are
wilhout hats or shoes, and many ot them are im
dep'orablo want of clothing. Ho eays it is impossible to giro a correct idea of their sulTeruig

Tap Nicaragua Line.—The New York Journal
of Commerce announce") in a semi-official tone,
that the Nicaragua line is about to be Opened
again under the practical mauagement of Mr. Joseph L, White. Tbe Uuited States Government
has guaranteed the protection of the righsand
property oftlie company, and two vessels of war
have been ordered to the San Juan river, for this
purpose.
The company have purchased three steamships,
selected from a considerable number oflered to
Ihem, and the first of them is expected to leave
New York ou tlio 20th of September, or the oth of
October. Three steamers have also been purchas.
ed fer the Pacific side, and will leavo New York
on tho 5th of August. Three tow boats of light
draught—one for the Lake of Nicaragua ami two
for the t'iver--will leave here next woek, and the
construction of two or three iron boats (additional) has been ordered, to be used iu the internal
navigation of the country, so that the facilities
for lake and river trade will be much better than
have ever yet been oflered ty the public. Tbef*o
extra boats will probably bo put ou betwocn uow
and February next.
The Secretary of War. it is said, will shortly
send an expedition, under command of Mr. B, F.
Beale, for the purpose of constructing bridge**,
nnd otherwise improving the road between Foi t
Smith and Albuquerque, New Mexico, and from
thence westward to the Colorado river, at or near
the thirty-fifth parallel of latitude. The expedition is to start in two divisions from Albuquerque
—one eastward and the other westward.
A letter received from Mr. R. D. Ross, Capo

On tlie 21st of July, a man named Webb, in
West Rush, Monroe counly, New York, while in a

Chief Jusiice Duer, of the Superior Court. New

setting such a bad example, and some of the meet
