Zoological Recreation*—by W. J. Hropeeip,
Esq., F. R. S., &c. This work, from the press
of Lea & Blanchard, Philadelphia, will be
conversed tho other day with a gentleman, largo-
ly interested in iho Curlright Manufacturing Com
pany, whoso mills are on tho Oconee River in
Grpcne County. Wo Arc informed by him that
these mills comuuto 2,000 bales of cotton a year,
running 5,000 spindles. They have been rather
more limn two years lii operation, nud fiom tho
first moment or slat ting have paid a good divi
dend. One fact alono suffices to convince us of
the spirit of enterprise that hut tciiod our up-coun
try friends. The Curlright mills were lu opera
tion within nine months after the first spade wiis
put into tho ground. Our informant, who is alto
interested in somo flouring mills, was inquiring
(lie price of salt in tills market—proposing to ex
change U against wheat along the lino of theState
Rail-Kond, where it will come into competition
with the salt that descends tho Tennessee river,
nud also in North Alabama where it would moot
the article brought to Wetumpka in boats. An
other interesting fact which we learned from him,
was that a respectable planter who with his faint
ly emigrated to Mississippi a few years since,
wbere ho has been doing well enough in one of
the fertile bottoms of that region, is now return
ing back to Georgia where lie has become inter
ested in flouring mills now in operation. This is
one of tho best tilings wo have heard of yet. Wo
say "on* of the beet lhingt, ,, for if wo mistake not,
certain Urals in Georgia are not worth one-fifth
paitso much for plantiqg cotton ns they were ten
years ago.
With our internal improvements, with our soil,
climates, and increasing enterprise, who slinll as

03* The legislature of the State of Pennsylva
nia adjourned tint die on Tuesday, tlie 10th inst.
Among Uie measures passed arc several of gener
al intcrcsf.
The new appropriation bill provides lor me pay
ment of the interest on the Statu debt in current
funds instead of the depreciated currency hereto
fore so much compl^ncd of. It also authorizes
(lie re-issuing of Relief Notes to tlie amount of
those already out, which latter nrc to be called in
and dastroyed; and suspends for the period of
three year* the clause of tlie old net, by which
$50,000 of those notes were to be destroyed every
three nionUis. This measure, it to said, will save
Uie State $70,000 to $75,000 per annum interest.
Provision to made fur avoiding the Inclined
Plane on the Columbia Rail-Rond near Phila
dclphia.
Tho same law provides for the completion of
the North Branch of the Pennsylvania Canal.
The new revenue bill, it to estimated, will
bring into tbo treasury from $200,000 to $600,-
000 from sources not heretofore drawn upon.
Provision to also made for a Sinking Fund
for the pnymeut of the principal of the Slate
Debt.
The Common School System is to lie reorganized,
as well as tho Militia System, which is so altered
ss to dispense with parades, substituting a small
tax on all liable to service and who do uot belong
to volutecr associations.
03* Tlie Legislature of New-York adjourned on
Wednesday, the 11th inst., after a session of one
hundred days—having passed about four hun
dred and thirty acts, « larger number, it to said,
than at any previous session.
Of the number was Uie Emigrant Passenger bill,
which to considered to be a most important law,
as it meets tlie exigency in the State finances,
caused by Uio decision of the U. S. Court, adverse
to the imposition of the Passenger Tax. This
new Jaw authorizes the collection or $ 1,60 from
foreign immigrant poruengers arriving at Uio
portol New-York; and without which the State
had the prospect of becoming an immense poor-
house tor torcigu nations. It is a wise aud whole
some legislative Act.
Also, Uie bill to remove the infectious hospital
from the Quarantine to Sandy Hook, having pre
viously passed the Assembly, was adopted in Uie
Scnatu by a large vote. It to a matter of great
congratulation to the thousands in New-York city
and upon Staten Island, petitioning tor the removal
of Uiis pest-house, that Uicir wishes are about to
be gratified.

Diplomatic SmugglingT-—'The ciiurge ofamug-
gling mode against our Charge d’Afihiros at Stock
holm, would appear not to be a singular one,
there is any truth in tlie subjoined paragraph in
the London Morning Chronicle, a paper which to
fast rivaling the Times in its sources of informa
tion. It says;
" We hear from Brussels that the Belgian gov
ernment intends to place restrictions upon the
luggage, parcels, ana packages carried by For
eign Cabinet messengers. It is almost needless tc
observe, U»at, according to international usago
and courtesy, couriers’ luggage, especially Uiat
portion I laving an official address or seal, has been
permitted to pass without search. Abuse* hnva
doubtless arisen; but, uiiIcsb wo sre greatly mis
taken, no diplomatic agents, no Ministries, have
profited so largely by the latitude accorded as
those of Belgium. Restrictions coine. therefore,
with a somewhat bad grace from the Brussels
government."
Desions of luseiA.—Tlie nows from abroad
(says the I'ldlnlclphia Bulletin) to less favornblo
to peace than l.haa been for many months. In
stigated by tfiedtoturfianecs In western Europe,
the Emperor o; Russia has resumed bis designs
on Tui key; rod there to every appearance nc-
cordingly of a war between tho Czar and tlie
Porte. Never ltdeed waa tlie northern Bear in a
better condhior to pursue his ambitious designs
on Constantimple. Hto empire to in a peculiarly
flourishing cordition. Hto army is united and
devotedly attaffled to Ills person; and tlie differ
ent corps aro ihuroughly disciplined, by having
served iu turn n the Circassian war. Austria is
bound to him by recent benefits in aiding her to
suppress insurrections among her subjects, by the
hope of future assistance, nud by a projected al-
liancc of marriage between the heir of the house
of Hnpsburg uid an Arch-duchcss of Russia.—
Germany, it h thought,cannot interfere, so long
ns she i* (lidded against herself, between (lie
rival cluims of Berlin nnd Vicnun. Italy to con
sidered ns nothing in the scale. But tho inter
ference of either Frnuce or England to dreaded
the former; being regarded as not yet escaped
from tlie perils of revolution, nnd tho latter hav

In lids emergency the autocrat revives the dar
ling ambition of hto house, uud stretches out his
arm to grasp that long coveted capital’, whose
white minarets gleam over tho romantic Bospho
rus. Will ho succeed? Wo hupo not. An em
pire of slaves, tiie rule of Rusala is great enough
already; to extend its boundaries would be to
spread serfdom aud tyranny ovor now regions.—
Heitor indeed to the rule at tnu tnuUut it ciuiuui

tlmt Russia will triumph. The Ottoman power

than it has been tor many years; and, U to almost

see the autocrat conquer Constantinople.
Colonel Fremont and hi* Party,
authentic particulars.
Letters have been received from Col. Fremont,
covoring tho two months (from Uie last of No
vember to Uio 2d of February) that ho was not
heard of, aud giving the terrible events of tlmt
time. They uro written, says tlie Intelligencer,
from Taos mid Santa Fe, Now Mexico, and ad
dressed to Mrs. Fremont, at Washington; and iu
her absenco, .(for it was deemed probable that sho
might hnve setoff to California by sen, before
they could nrrivc,) to Senator Benton, nud in ids
absence to Wiilinin Carey Jones, Esq. Tlie let

brought to tlmt place by Air. St. Vrnin. Mrs.
Fremont, fortunately, wns gone: Senator Benton
hnd delayed Ids departure tor Alismiuri. confi
dent tiiut letters were on the way: and In his
hands wc have seen the originals, and we propose
to give extracts in Uie order of their dales. The
first to dated
•‘Taos, New Mexico, Jan. 27,1849.
"I write to you from tlie house of our good
friend Cnrsoti. This morning a cup of chocolate
wu9 brought to tne while in bed. To an over
worn, overworked, fatigued, nnd starving travel
ler, these little luxuries of the world offer nu in
terest which, in your comfortable home, it to not
possible for you to conceive.
"I have now tlie unpleasant task of telling you
haw 1 came hero. 1 hail much rather speak of
tlie future, (with plans for which 1 am already
occupied,) for the mind turns from the scenes' ’
have witnessed and tho sufferings we hnve en
dured; but ns clear information is due to you,
and to your father still more, I will give you the
story now, instead of waiting to tell it you in
California; but I write in the great liopo tlmt
you will not receive this lPttpr. When it reaches
Washington you may be on your way to Cali
fornia.
"Formerletters will Imvemndc you acquainted
with our progress os far ns Bent’s Fort, and,
from report, you will have heard tlie circum
stances of our departure from tho. Upper Pueblo,
near the head of the Arkansas. \Ve left thqt
place on tho 26th of November with upwards of
one hundred good mules, and ono hundred nnd
thirty bushels shelled corn, intended to support
our animals in tho deep snows of tlie high moun
tains nnd down to the lower parts of the Grand
rtvei 4 tilbularies, wharu uauntly tlw* Iimui fnr»»
no obstacles to winter travelling. At Pueblo 1
had engaged ns a guido an old trapper, well
known as "Bill Williams," and who had spent
some twenty-five yeans of hto life in trapping in
various parts of tne Rocky > Mountains.
"The error of our expedition was committed in
engaging this man. lie proved never to have
known,,or entirely to have forgotten, tho whole
country through which wc were topas3. We oc
cupied (uftcr passing the mountain) more than
half a month in mnking the progress of a few
days, blundering ulong a tortuous course, through
deep snow, which already began.to choke up the
passes, and wastingour timo in searching tho
way. Tho 11th of Dcccinlicr we found ourselves
at the mouth of the Uio del Norte canon, where
that river issues from the Sierra Sail Juan—one of
the highest, most rugged, and impracticable of
all tlie Rocky Mountain ranges, inacccssablo to
trappers and hunters, even in Summer. Across
Uio point of this elevated range our guide con
ducted us; and, hav ing still great confidence in
tiiis man’s knowledge, we passed onwards with
fatal resolution. Even along the river bottoms
Uie snow was already breast deep for tho mules,
and falling frequently in Uio valley nnd almost
constantly on the mountains. The cold was ex
traordinary. At the warmest hours of the day
(between one and two) Uio thcimomctcr (Fah
renheit) stood, in the sfindo of a tree trunk, at ze
ro; and that was a favorable day, the sun shining
and a moderate breeze. Judgo of the nights am I
the storms!
1' Wo pressed up towards the summit, tlie snow
deepening as we rose, and in four or five days of
tiiis struggling and climbing, ail on foot, we
reached The naked ridges which lie above tlie line
of the timbered region, and whicli form the divid
ing heights between Uio waters of Uie Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, jflcr.g these naked heights
it stormrail winter, and too raging witids sweep
across them with remorseless fury. On our first
attempt to cross wo encountered a jtouderU, (dry
snow driven thick through tho air by violent
wind, and in which objects nre visible only nt a
short distance) and were driven back, having
some ion or twelve men variously frozen—face,
hands or feci. The guide came near being frozen
buried in tho snow. Tho storm conUnucJ. All
movement was paralysed. To advance with the
expcdltion'was impossible, to get back impossi
ble. Our fate stood revealed. Wo were overta
ken by sudden and Inevitable ruin. Tho poor
animals wore to go first. Tlie only places whero
crass could be had were tho extreme summits of
tlio Sierra,•where the sweeping winds kept the
rocky ground bare, and whore tlie tnon could not
live.
"Below, in tho Umbered region, tho poor nul-
mala could not get about, the snow being deep
enough to bury them alive. It was instantly ap
parent that we should loso every ono. 1 took my
resolution immediately, and determined to re-
cross tho mountain bock to Uio valley of tlie Rio
del Norte, dragging or packing tho "baggage by
men. With great litbor the Luggage was trails-
lortod across tho crest tothe head springs of a
ittle stream lending to Uie main river. A few
days wore sufficient to destroy that lino band of
mules which you saw niopurchaso tost fall on the
frontiur of Missouri. ""— 1 —* *•—’

driving snow. Sometimes Uiey would break off*
and rush down towards tho limner till stopped by
tho deep show, where Uiey wero soon hidden by
tlie pouderit. The courage of sonio of the men
begun to fail. •
“Iu tin's situation I determined to send In a
xirty to tho Spanish settlements of New Mexico
or provisions, and for inulcs to transport our
baggage. With economy, and after we should
IcavV the mules, wo had not two weeks’ provis
ions in Uio camp; nnd these coqpisted of a reserve
of maccnroiii, bacon, sugar, 3tc. intended for Um
last extremity. It was indispensable to send for
relief. I asked for voluntcors for the service.—
From tlie many that offered I chose King. Brnc-
kenridge, Creutzfcldt, aud tho guido, Williams,
and placed tlie party under the command of
King, with directions to send tno an express iu
cuke of the least delay at tho settlement*. It wns
tlio day lifter Christmas tlmt this little party set
out for relief. That dny, like many Christinas
days for years past, wns spent by moon tho side
of tho wintry mountain, my heart filled with
anxious thoughts and gloomy forebodings. ‘You
may be sure wu contrasted it with the Christmas
of homo, and innde many warm wishes for your
happiness. Could you have looked Into Agrippa’s
S 'ass for a Jew moments only! You remember
o volumes of Bluckstonc’s Commentaries which
I took from your father’s library when wc were
overlooking it at our friend Brant’s? They made
my Christinas "amusemenfs.” I ’read them to
pass tlio time, and to kill tho consciousness of my
situation. Certainly you may suppose tlmt my
first law. lessons will bo well remembered.

few days/ Now came an the tedium of waiting
for the return of the relief party. Day after day
inucd, nnd no -news from them. Snow foil nf-
nost incessantly in tho mountains. Tlio spirits
of the camp grow lower. Life waa toeing its
charm to tlioso who had not reasons beyond them
selves to live. Proue laid down in the trail and
froxe to fleath. In a sunshine day, and having
with him Uie menus to make a fire, he thow hto
biunketdown on tho trail, laid down upon it, and
laid there till he froze to deuUi! We were not
then with him.
"Sixteen days pnssod away and no tidings from
the party sent for reliuf. 1 became oppressed with
anxiety, weary of doiay, and determined to go
ipyself, both fn search of the absent party, and
in search oi relief in the Mexiran settlements,
was aware that oor troops in Now Mexico hnc
been engaged in hostilities with tho Spanish
Vtalis, nud with tho Apaches, who range In tlie
valley of the Rio Del Norte and'the mountains
whero we were, nnd became fearful that they
(King nnd Ids party) had been cut off by.these
Indians. I could imagine no other accfdent to
them. Leaving tho camp employed with the
baggage, under the command of Vinccnthalci,
witii injunctions to follow me in three days, I set
off down the river witii a small party, consisting
of Godey, his young nephew, Preuss, and Saun
ders, (colored servant.) We carried our arms
4tnd provisions for two or Uiccc days. In the
camp (left under the command of VfnrcnUralcr)
tlie messes only had provisions for a few meals,
and a supply of fivo pounds of sugar to each man.
If I failed to meet King, my intention was to
***o Mexican ****!•»•*«»»* w*» o^Uisja, -
luent of the Rio del Norte, about half
degreo above Taos, (you will see it on my map,)
and thcnce'scnd back the speediest relief possioh
to tlio party under Vinccutlialcr.
"On tlio second day after leaving tlio camp wo
came npon a fresh trail of Indians—two lodges
with a considerable number of animals. This
diii not lessen our uneasiness for our long absent
people. The Indian trail, where wo fell upon it.
turned and went down Uie river, and wo followed
it. On the fifth day (after leaving the camp) we
surprised an Indian on tho ice of the river. He
proved to be a Utah, son of a Grand River chief
whom wc had formerly known, and lie behaved
towards us in a friendly manner. We encamped
near them al uighU By a present of_a rifle, my
two blnnkcfs, nnd other promised rewards wlion
we should get in, 1 prevailed on tiiis Indian to go
with us as n guide to the Little Rio Colorado set
tlcineut, nud to- toko witii him four of Ids horses to
carry our little bnggago. The horses were misera
bly poor, and coulcTonly get along at a slow walk.
On the next day (tlie sixth of our progress) wc
left the Indian lodges Into nnd travelled only some
six or seven miles. About sunset we discovered
a little smoke, in a grove of timber, off from tlie
river, and, thinking perhaps it might bo our ox-
presf party, (King and Ids men) on their return,
we went to see. Tins wns tlio twenty-second day
since tlint parly hail left us, and tho sixth sinco
we left the camp under Vinccnthalcr. Wo found
them—throe of them; Creutzfcldt, Brackcnridge,
utid Williams—tho most miserable objects I had
ever beheld. I did not recognise Creutzfcldt’s
features, when lirackcnridgo brought hint up
and told tno Ids name. They had been starving!
King had starved to death a Tew days before. Ills
remains were some six or eight miles above, near
tiie river. By uid of the Indian horses wo carried
these threo .with us down to tlio valley, to tho
Pueblo on tho Littlo Colorado, which we reached
the fourth day afterwards, (the tenth day after
leaving the camp on the mountains,) having
travelled through snow, upd ou foot, one h uud ret
and sixty miles.
"I look upon tlio feeling which induced me lo
set out from tlio enmp os an inspiration. Had 1
remained there waiting tlio return of poor King’
every mnn of us must have perished.
_ he morning after reaching tbo Little Colo
rado Puebla, (horses nnd supplies not being
there,) Godey and I rode on to tlio Rio Hondo,
and thence to Taos, about twejity-fivo miles,
whero wc found wliat wo needed, nnd Uio next
morning Godey, witii four Alcxiciitis, thirty
horses or inulcs, uud provisions, sat out on his re
turn to tlie relief of Vinccnthnler’ri party. I heard
from hhn at the Littlo Colorado Puebla, which he
readied the same day tie left me, and pressed on
tlie next morning. On tho way lie received an
accession of eight or ten horses, turned over to
him by tho orders ol Major Beall, of tlie army
'teiuSif amSi s
every aid in hto power, and such actual assistance
ns ho was .able to render. Soin&liorscs, which lie
had just recovered from tho Utolis, wero loaned
me, and lie supplied mo from Uie commissary’s
department wltli provisions, which I could linvc
hud nowhere else. I And myself iu the midst of
friends. With Carson to living Owens. Alax-
well to ut iito father-in-law’s, doing a prosperous
business as a merchant and contractor for tlie
troops. I remain hero with tlicso old comrades,
while Godoy goes back; because it wdb not ncccs'
sury for mo to go with him, nnd it was nedcssary
for me to remain, und prepare Uio means of re
suming tlie expedition to California ns soon ns he
returns with Die men left behind. 1 expect him
on Wednesday evenitig tho 31st inst., tills being
the 17th. .
"Say to your father that tlicso aro my plans
for tlio future.
" At the beginning of February (Godey having
got back at that time) 1 shall set out for Califor
nia, taking tho southern roulo— the old route—by
the Rio Ahajo, Uie Paso del Norte, tlio south side
of the Gila, entering California by tho Agua
Calicnto, tlieticc to Las Angelos, amt hnmcdintly
to San Francisco, expecting to get there in March,
nnd hoping for your arrivnl hi April. It is Uio
first timo riiave explored on old road, but cannot
help it now. I shaft move rapidly, taking with
rne but a part of my party. Thosurvey* has been
uninterrupted up to this point, and 1 shall carry
it on consecutively. As soon as possible after
reaching California I shall go on witii it. I shall
thou be nblo to draw up a map, and report of Uio
whole country, agreeably to our original plan.
Your futlier knows that this is an object of great
desire witii mo. All my phyw remain entirely
unaltered. A home in California is tho first point
nnd that will be ready for you in April.

Central Rnlt-Roarf and Hanking Company
of Georgia*
Savannah, March 19, 1849.
At* a moot Ing of tlio Bourd of Directors, tho
following Preamble and Resolutions were passed:
Whereas, Tlio Capital stock of Uiis Company
subscribed isouiy $2,650,000. of which is paid in
tho sum of $2,549,165, while the cost of con
structing and equipping Uie Road, stands upon
its books nt $2,650,0(M, after having charged
account for depreciation or over cost, the sqm of
#218,8(4 29, which has at various times been tn-
1 ;en from the Ilcsorved Fund or earnings of tho
Company]
And, Whereas. Thosp to still r Reserved Fund
of $160,861 25, pf wlddh at least $100,000 has
been invested in the Roud nnd its equipments,
showing that tho sum of $318,814 29 has been of
necessity taken from tho Road en tilings for wunt
of att adequate capital, instead of being divided
among the Stockholders, a system, which in tho
present condition of things should cense;
And, whereas, this Board considers that tho said
sum of $2,650,000 at which tho investment now
stands upon the books of the Company ns below
the fair cash value of tlie Road nnd equiptneuto,
without further additions to them;
And. whereas, tho rapidly increasing tnumiiM
of tlio ltoad has made it the duty of this Board,
as it is tho manifest interest of the Company to meet
it by contracting for G,500 tons of rails, to relay
the flat bar portion of Uio track, involving witii
other ouUays an iiivcstme'utof $450,900;
And, whereas, it is inanifcsUy unjust to tho
iresont Stockholders, if it cau lie avoided, that
lie said expenditure (being for construction nnd
permoincnt improvements, % and a fur different
matter from repairs) should fall* on them by tho
absorption of (he earnings of their capital, in
stead of dividing the samo, more especially so,
when thepresentinvustmcnt is wortli fully dollar
for dollar, the sum at which it stands charged;
And whereas, it to evident from tho post ind
present, that tho road on its present footing, can
annually earn at least eight per cent on a capital
of $3,000,000, having earned 91-2 per cent on its
irescnt capital last year, nnd as so fur the rat|p of
ncronso this yenr shows still better things;
And whereas, when its capabilities are increased
and its condition Improved by Uio now iron, Urns
lessening wear arid tear of machinery, cost of re
pairs, nnd expediting business, tho ratio of nett
earnings must be still greater;
Rtsolixd, therefore, That tlio Board suggests
the great advantage of, and hereby recommend
to tho stockholders an increase of tho capital stock
of tills Company, whereby tho proposed Improve
ment of tho Road, and tho now investment iu
Iron, may be borne without absorbing tlie cam-
ngs of tlio Road or its present means, and with
out. foregoing fair and proper dividends of its
profits among present and future stockholders.
Resolved, That this Board rccohuncnd that tho
said increase of capital shall be to a total of
$3,000,000, by the sale of, not less than par, from
time to time, ns may bo noeded, of guarautcod 8
pur cunt, stock to the amount of $450,000.
Resolved, That tlio forcgoiig bo published in tho
Giixettes of this city.
