Coiuiiiircd November, From California Saceamento Citt, Sept. 13, Deah Brother; Just for the sake of keeping you all from growing uneasy about me, I will devote this evening to writing to you. Pleasantly sealed under oar tent, on the banks of the clear stream, Sacramento; all our arrangements being completed for starting to the mines, 1 could not find a more pleusaut way of spending an hour or so. I wrote to father from the Rio Grande, giving hun akind ol description of my wearisome journey that far.

I will now tell you of the "trialt, troubles and tribulations," attendingour route from that point. From the Rio Grande we started under a Mexican guide for Chihuahua. The first four, day's travel, was over rugged mountains and under the influence of a most dreadfully hot sun. The roads were such, that we were compelled to walk, as a misstep in one of our horses, would have precipitated us into eternity, and downwaidd at that, and walking over the rocks drawed the breath from us fast. About every fifty yards, you would see some of the boys seated upon a rock under the scanty uhade of a Spanish Dagger, endeavoring to shelter ln head, at least, front the scorching rays of the sun.

Alter crossing these mountains, the road then became level, dry, dusty and barren, and to make the matter worse, my horse broke down. I wtfs then put on foot-back, and had to walk and drive him every day, a distance of 30 or 35 miles wiihout water. This kind of travel drew a wish trom me, more than once, to be back in Mississippi. I succeeded in driving my horse to Chihuahua, about 150 miles, where 1 sold him for the enormous sum of From there, we hired transportation to Durango in wagons, at 12 50 each. 1 his part of our journey, was by lar, the most pleasant.

Sometimes, it is true, we would get out of provisions and ihe infernal Greasers would not sell them to us but the wagons were large and cool, and all we had to do, was to lay and sleep all day. You will haidly believe it, when I tell you that those wagons travelled six hundred miie9 in fifteen days. The last day they made 65 miles between day-light and sun-down. That beats all wagon travelling in the Slates. Durango is a most beautiful place.

The public build. ngs surpass, in their decorations, anything I ever saw or heard ot. The Alemada or public walk, is a most magniliceiit grove. I wish I could give you some idea of its appearance. Every evening it is crowded with Indus and gentlemen, walking out.

Some of the Senoretaa were as handsome as any ladies I have ever seen, and would remind any one of jeweler's shop, from the amount of ornaments they labored tinder. We here hired a Mexican to pack us over the mountains to Mazntian. Now came hills that might justly be cuiied mountains. On the morning of the 3d day, we commenced ascending, and continued going up lor several days. Sometimes we would be on the side of a precipice with just enough space for a mule to walk on.

One side a precipice ot perpendicular rock, rising above us a thousand leet, and on the other, a gorge to the bottom ot which, certainly must have been two or three thousand feet. After passing some of the places, I would shudder to think what danger we were in. We rode all the time, for if we walked by all the bad places, we would be always walking, and as we had paid 15 for the privilege of riding, we tried to ride all the time. We arrived at Mazaiian without accident, and remained there 15 or IS days for ship'ping; at last we engaged passage on a Danish schooner, the "Johanna and Oluti'a," and after a passage of 31 days, arrived on the 3d of in the great town ot San Francisco. It is situated on a beautiful and commodious harbor, about 7 miles Irom the entrance.

Its situation is rather hilly, and reminds one of Vicksbtirg, from that fact. So far from there being an) thing like starvation here, the streets are full of provisions of every sort, not having room in tin. houses and tents lo store them. Such a thing as stealing, is hardly known, and the poor fellow, who is so unfortunate as to be caught stealing, stands no chance nhatever.of living long. He is strung up to the first tree they can find.

At some other time, 1 will tell you inure about this great City. After arriving, we found that our funds were not sufficient to take us out to the "diggings," and work was our only chance. We got a job Irom the man we were boarding With, at The job was to unload some height be had on hoard a brig, lying in the harbor. The freight consisted of barrels of liquor, sugar, flour, pork, any of which you know is pretty heivy. We agreed to bring them Irom the vessel and roll tiirui up to iiis house, which was about 100 yards from the landing, and all the way np hill, and it was realty an up-hill business with us.

But we toiled and toiled for two long days, until we finished it. We were out of money, and any kind of labor was preferable to begging. Common labor is worth, in this country, 1 an hour, and many wont work for that. At the mines one or two ounces can be inadf per tny, and as a matter of course, these having the menus co there. Alter finishing this piece ot work, we found we had the means of getting up to Sacramento city, 150 miles above San I'rancisco.

We pushed off that evening on board a schooner, with 7ii passengers, and the vessel could not accommodate, at the most, more than 30. nr Captain did not know anything about the bay or the Sacramento river, rrtid instead oi getting up in 3ti hours, as he assured us he would, we were days on ihe trip. To stop was almost altogether out of the question, and as we only iaid in provisions for 3 days, we got out and were most awluiiy hungry when we arrived at Suttersville, a small town 4 miles below this. There Hob Moore, myself and Dantier, got out to walk up; we just had money enough to tret our breakfast, the first we had had in 3li hours. The repast consisted of a cup of cotlee and crackers, at 50cts.

for each. Some gentlemen from Vickslmrg and our party, have concluded to purchase an ox wagon here for the purpose of conveying our provisions, clothing, up to the mines. We can get such a team as we want lor about the same money nearly that would be required to pay any other one for hauling it for us, and then when we arrive at the mines, if we wish to move to another place, we can do so free of expense. VI hat we can do digging, I ca'inot tell ypt, except what 1 have heard irom pt-rsons here. From 3 to 2 ounces seems to be the average a day's labor, and some do better than that.

I snw one man who made in 7 weeks, I heard cf I from Nortu 31 ississippi Orleans. It us great pleasure to find a zeal manifested by some of our cotemporaries tjie comn''tion of this Road to the Ala-0 7e learned lately that a sur- by Alabama, had been ma-toissance of the country be-f inus in Mississippi and Mont-'fjieeds the building of lit tie uian this connecting link, to enable ttm advantages of a Railroad US 10 ejv thoroughfare from one end of the Union to the ol'ier- Wken Alabama and Mississippi shall carry out their original and important Iertaking, we will De able to laise a pas- diki the cars at Jackson for New York, re on Bangor and Portland. We know Boston, nf D0 project more deeply interesting, not fv to the interests oi mis poriion oi iiis- but to the whole State. The Eastern Railroad will meet at Jack son the projected Railroad from thence 1 1 1 ml 1 lun ttia Iff jeW i Mobile and Ohio Railroad, in Lauderdale; that if it never should reach Montgomery, it is evident that a very large and important section of our country are interested in its completion. The Mobile Railroad is already commenced, and sixty miles put under contract.

There are eighteen counties intimately interested in its prosecution to the Tennessee line, and from the known enterprise of the Hon. J.J. McKae, and other gentlemen, who have taken a deep interest fa its completion, the enterprise will doubtless succeed. These counties embrace H'ayne, Jones, Jasper, Clark, Newton, Neshoba, Kemper, Winston, Noxubee, Oktibbeha, Lowndes, Chickasaw, Monroe, Pontotoc, Itawamba, Tippah and Tishe-Biineo, comprising, it is clear, a large and important portion of the East and North. The New Orleans and Jackson Railroad is also in a fair way of being successfully carried out.

A Convention of all the counties and parishes through which it will pass, has been held, and an immediate survey ordered. It is easy to see that the friends of this road must be the friends, also, of the Eastern Road, and that just in the proportion as the feelings of the people on the New Orleans route of Railroad shall be roused in its favor, will they feel still more interest in the completion of the Railroad East. Say that Mobile extends her Railroad only to Lauderdale, that moment will every man in Mobile feel that his prosperity is to be affected by a junction with the Eastern Road, and Irow much stronger will this feeling be when it shall reach to Tishe-mintro or Lowndes Such also will be the ca with New Orleans. When the railroad from New Orleans shall be finished to Jackson, the desire to reach the produce and wealth of the Northern portion of our State would induce the capitalists of the former city, to subscribe for the whole stork themselves, could they be permitted to make the Eastern railroad in this svay. The Eastern railroad is then a very important undertaking, ami involved in its success, are the citizens of a large part of the State.

We are not of those, who are in favor of i running into extravagant schemes of inter nal improvements, and we shall never permit the State to be saddled with their debts. VoJuntary enterprise should make all our railroads, and the maxim, even then, should be Pay as go'7 The enterprises to fj which we have alluded, bring a large and 1 productive region in close contact with markets which can consume all that may be raised in it. New Orleans and Mobile purchase annually, nearly all the surplus labor of the farmers and planters of Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Tennesse. and a great proportion of Ken tucky. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

If every county in our own State contained a population of one hundred thousand, it would not equal the productive powers of these States: and they contain, as estimated in Palmer's statistics, a present population of eight millions and a half. Were these roads completed, there is not a pound of cot ton, a bushel of corn, a beeve. a sheep, a potato, a stave, a foot of lumber, a barrel of Siine or turpentine, an egz or a chicken, or a yard of domestic, that would not find a ready market at Mobile or New Orleans, and the more immense our population, the iess either city might fear the rivalry of the other. They would both find enough to employ all their labor and capital. We have much important matter to communi rate thi-? subject.

The I. ate Murder of Dr. Iarbman. We have not yet obtained the details of Coroners inquest on the body of the de feased Dr. Parkman, of Boston.

It has been an awful tragedy. The accused murderer, Dr. John W.Webster, and his victim, were both men of the first standing in their pro fessions, anil of the first families in society. Dr. Parkman gave the land, valued at ten thousand dollars, upon which the Massa chusetts Medical College in Boston stands.

and the professorship of surgery was named I ium. It is testified that he was found cut up in pieces, some of which had been washed away by the tide from under the 'iissecting room of Dr. Webster. A portion of the clothes of the latter have also been ionnd hid away near the place. The cir cumsrances stronirlv indicate Webster as I we murderer.

The intention ot his coun- I 'I'HE subscriber, Pbp. P. Werieim, lias been for many a. years a resident of Vicksburg, Missis- sippi. where his principal business con sisted of teaching music, and repairing 1 and tuning Piauo Fortes, and other instru-" ni'-nts has for a long time seen and felt the great inconvenience that persons living in small tow-DS.

and more especially in the country, are subjected to, from a want of etheient Piano tuners and rejiairers. which defect he now hopes to supply. Mo-d persons lire obliged to trust their Pianos and other instruments iu the bands of transient persons traveling thi.ugh the country, the greater part of whom, either from ignorance or careietsless, instead of improving, severely injure thcin. Mr. W.

has therefore, matured and adapted a plan by which his frieuds aud the public in general are afforded the advantage of having iheir instruments put in line r-pair and tune, awl permaut nlly hrpl so dnritta a trhole year, for acharge not exceeding the ordinary pru.es of doing the same for one time. In order to carry out this place sirasfully. he ha. er-inanen'ly engage I the services of Mr. F.

Cotton. Considerable business has been done in the last three days. Two keel-boats and one flat-boat, have arrived by Teari river, bringing 2.15 bales. So far as can be ascertained, near iiW bales have been received by wagons. Prices range from 9 to 10 cents a few lots a shade higher.

There is a plentiful supply of staple articles and groceries in market, which are furnished unusually low for Cotton or cas-h. The Pearl Plant, a new steamer, built expressly for the navigation of Pearl river above Jacki-on, is expected to arrive about the tj.lth which will greatly facilitate the plnnu-rs in their shipment.
