S 2tiuna l InteHigencer. At ROSS MEXICO. Fitzgerald Beale from the W esteru coast, together with the wondrous i ews which he brings of the discovery, now at last, at the western base of the Siena Nevada, of the real Dorado—so long searched for all over our continent—has already been noted in you pa* per. A brief account of his ride, full of hazard, and Hcoinplished with such extreme gallantry and spirit, is due to the service which this brave, enterprising young officer adorns, and will at the same time exemplify the deplorable condi tion of government and police throughout Mexi co. Midshipman Beale left the port of La Paz, near the foot of the peninsula of California, n the Ist of August; and on the sth arrived at Mazatlan, on the west coast of Mexico. Thence he took -passage in a small Mexican goleta, and after a terrible coasting voyage of live days, in such weather us is oniy known of)’ that coast, he madp the harbor of San Bias. At this place commenced his land journey, southeast one thou sand miles by way of Guadalajara and Mexico city, to Vera Cruz. It was with much difficul ty that he got away, so certaiuly was it held by *he Mexican Governor of San Bias ami every body that, travelling thus unprotected, he would he waylaid and murdered by some of the num erous bands of fodrones (robbers) who at this time, more than ever, in consequence of the dis persion of (ho troops of Parades, line all the public roads in Mexico. Having undertaken ibe duty, however, nothing could daunt or de tain our gallant young officer ; and accordingly on the 12th of August he started. He travelled without any other escort than a guide ; his plan being to ride at full speed, both day, and night, and thus accomplish his journey in the shortest space of time, aud also lessen the dangers of the road by the rapidily of his transit. His wardrobe for the journey consis. ted—to begin at the top—of a Mexican glazed sombrero ; below that, an ample red flannel shirt, followed by leather breeches, and lermin. ating in a pair of Ibe hide boot* of the country. In this costume, and with bis young moustache and sun-broxvned visage, and speaking Spanish he was a counterpart of a native of the couotry; but his defensive outfit was of another sort, ami eminently American—four revolvers, six bar. rels each, and a knife, could only be packed on the person of a genuine American, expecting danger and determined to go through it. “ AS LITTLE GOVERNMENT AS POSSIBLE ; THAT LITTLE EMANATING FROM AND THE PEOPLE, AND UNIFORM IN ITS APPLICATION TO ALL.” , Thus accoutred, young Beale left San Bias on the 12th of August. By bis rapid travelling, and the formidable character of bis armament. he accomplished the first jiity miles without serious interruption. Here, at a sudden turn of the road, a peremptory call of • Alto, ahi!’ (halt there,) brought one of the revolvers to bear up on a party of three ‘genie de camino,’ —people i-fthe road- -who had IrawC up in his front. To throw him >£ his guard, tjhey demanded his pa.-sport. under pretence ut being roadpolice. JW said •you cau see one of you cofiie and get it.’ After some parte.y, the party ap peared disposed tu go On ; Jfiut Beale insisted that it was their duty to examine his passport, and it might be unsafe for them to turn their backs before they had done so. -Under this intimation, the leader of the parly with Beale’s revolver drawing a bead upon bun as a cau'ion against treachery, approached within arm’s length, and received the passport, and at the same time the information that tin* revolver, with which ‘Sevor ladron was alrea dy acquainted, was one of four, equally ready tor set vice. The Caballero was immediately profuse in apologies for stopping an American officer; and the whole party were ready at once to tu. n back, or to turn off by another road.— Beale however knowing that his safety was in having them behind him, intimated his prefer ence for that movement; and after some hesita tion, they passed on in front of him, under the muzzles of his revolver, until out of pistol shot; when he put his horse to speed, and was soon beyond reach of pursuit. At Tepic, the dangers of the road had be come so imminent, and he was so constantly HSsured (hat he could not fail to be assaulted on the way, and probably iuse his life, that ke de. termined at (east to secure the transmission of the contents of hi* important dispatches to the Government. He iheiefure, though not with. ■ ’Ui fear of reprooi from the Department, in case he should get through, opened these papers, copied them, aud. with a note to the American Minister in Mexico, enclosed the copies, at orJ* uanaiy letters, ill,the mail: These would arrive t ven if be should Ij% murdered on the the originals thus be I**t. He continued bis jiurncy, night and day, w rest than ground, in ihe brief iltervms ot ten or twelve iiiinu es occupied at ejarb pdst in bringing out fresh horses and chaiofing the saddles. Two days’journey t(ie other aide of Guadala. jara, a banda (gang) cause out of ihe woods in hi* rear, just at nightfall,'and, discovering him gave chase. He bad nothing to do this lime but show toe in his heels, (in case their eye sight was good enough to see them ) sirice the da.kness would prevent the judicious use of his revolvers, on which he depended in tue day.— He accordingly increased his already rapid pace expecting speedily to distance his pursuers ; hut they were not so easily shaken off. They con linued the chase some hours, and frequently the foremost ones gained upon him sufficient to fire their carbines ut his back ; but he at length made good his way to the next post. Having heard of a parly of eleven travellers ahead ol him, Bealc'-wade speed them, for the greater security-oHravelling in company. This party was attacked by a large band of robbers before arriving at Guadajara, and on the day following his night pursuit Beale , came up to the scene of the encounter. The whole party of travellers had been killed or wounded and the blood was still fresh in the mire which it had formed, the bodies having on ly just been removed. From Guadalajara Beale departed at six o’clock in the evening, choosing that time for starting, both to avoid losing the night and in order that his departure might be the more secret. He made the distance to the village of Lagos [liliy-live leagues—one hundred an six ty five miles] in twentv .seven and a hall hours, arriving there at past nine ofthe night follow ing his departure from Guadalajara. It was the rainy season as he had experien ced all the w ty; but at drey time of his leaving Guadalajara it set in wrtii full force. The un paralleled fury ot the storms which prevail in this part of Mexico in the height of the rainy season is noted by every traveller in that coun try. The road at night is often visible only by the immense glare oflightning, which, though its flashes are nearly incessant, leaves moments of pitchy darkness. The torrents of rain which fall tear up rocks and trees on the mountain sides, and wash them down into the road. The water courses from that cause, become fearfully deep aud rapid, so that the traveller, who will still pursue his journey, must often swim them at great hazard. It was in this sort of weath. er and under these ci.cumstanceg that our un daunted young officer continued his travel, stop ped neither by fatigue, hardships, nor dangers, and never putting his head under a roof for re. pose until he reached the city of Mexico. This side of Lagos he took passage, for the security he supposed it would afford, in a dili gence—the public conveyance. Thera was i dozen passengers, and of the number two Mexican colonels ; so that Beale now thought certainly they wore safe from robbers. He soon found, however, that the disposition ofthe party, in case of an attack, was for surrender ; on - ot the colonels having asstifed them that it was tho best way, as the robbers would only •eat instead of murdering them if no resistance was made. At the end of the first stage, there fore, Beale bade good-by to the diligence, and resumed his way with horse and guide. He af. terward learned, in Mexico, that the diligence had been atttacked shortly after he had got clear AND MERCANTILE*! ADVERTISER. COLUMBUS, Georgia, Thursday Evening;, October 19, IB4S. of it, and the passengers robbed and maltreated according to promise. Among the incidents of his journey was his meeting at a village on the other side of the capital with a person who had deserted from the American army. The scamp was in a most miserable condition, and, taking Beale for a Mexican came to him to leg, telling him that he had fought against his own country tor us, [the Mexicans,) and was now starving ; and his appearance, covered with filth and vermin, rantvA wbe* be sai'j listened to his story til his horse was brought, not thinking it pru dent to disclose his'Teal character. As he put his foot in the stirrup, however, the rascal still renewing his entreaties with more earnestness, and begging for God's sake, and in virtue of his desert,rn from t'le American’s and his services to Mexico, something to keep him from Mj-tYiIM Beale could hold out no longer, and'as hw into his saddle shouted into the fellowjHy.yj •Starve and be d—d, you traitorous scoundrel! and don’t come begging of an American officer!! The next instaut Beale was fifty yards off; bull when he turned to look the beggar wasy standing, apparently stupified. on tho same spot.

Beale left the gates of Mexico as the serenos (watchmen) cried the’ hour of midnight, anil tra. veiled to Vera Cruz with unexampled despatch. The distance is upward of uinety leagues, (a., bout two-hundred and seventy.five miles,) and he arrived at the city walls on the second night, as the watchmen were again crying media noche, (midnight.) making t ie ride exactly in forty eight hours—a ride I venture to say, not beaten by any thing on record. At Pian del Rio he was again chased by robbers who had got in his rear, and was twice fired at by them. The road, like the highways in all mountainous countries, is flanked in many places by narrow paths, which cut off the curves made by the roads in winding around the gor. ges. These byways are travelled by horsemen, and the places where they connect with the road are favorite resorts, in countries infested with banditti, for awaiting and* waylaying the traveller, whose heavier conveyance or non ac quaintance with the country keeps him to the highway. w At the approach of evening ofthe first day ou 1 Beale saw a horseman in front of him, with his carbine not swung, as is usual in travelling, but in his hands, as for immediate use. H-e was near the entrance of one ofthe byways I have spoken of, and after taking a sufficient survey of Beale and his guide, turned into the path as if to depart. Beale hailed him to know where he was going. The man replied that he was hunting his mule. ‘But you don’t go mule-hun ting with your carbine in your hand, and no lasso.’ Then hr said he was hunting for game. His different stories betrayed that he was out for no good, and Beale was convinced that his design was to wait for him, probably complices, at the other end of the path. His only chance, then, was in making the circuitous length of the road so rapidly as to anticipate ibe arrival ofthe robbers at the ter mil.alien of the cut off. Calling to his guide, ; heref ire, to lead the way, he put his horse to the utmost speed down the mountain. But the guide replied that his horse could go no faster. Beale was presently in the lead, with the other shouting after him to slacken his pace, or their horses would be killed and they left afoot.— Both, however, saved their distance, and a few moments after pussing the inlet of the pathway a couple of vain carbine shots behind them leg. lifted at once the narrowness of their escape, and that they had judged rightly of the cbarac. ter and purposes of the mule.hunter. Two day* and nights of such travelling, and through such adventures, brought our traveller, as I have said, to the gates of Vera Cruz, at midnight. The gates were closed and he was kept outside till daylight. Getting into the city he went direct to the seaside, and took a row boat for Anton Lizardo, twenty miles distant, the anchorage ofthe naval squadron ; hoping to get passage immediately. Not being able to accomplish this, however, he returned to Ve. ra Cruz, arriving there at night, and having a night’s sleep under a roof—the first since leav. ing Mazatlan, with the exception of the time he was detained in the capital. The next day he was waited on by tho po.’ lice to answer for the man who had come as fiis > guide from the city of Mexico, and who sfnee his arrival had been talking and acting so strangely as to make it necessary to scctfwf him. It t*-rued out that the fatigue and exCTPf’ m -nt and dangers of the journey had disturbed the unfortunate man’s mind, and the city au thorities were’otdiged to semi him. hack, under charge, in tho diligence. Such were the ter rors of the t*oad. “ Four day* after his arrival Beale left Vent Cruz in the Moop of.war Germanlown, ai*d after at Mobile, whence , > ■Jjfcvched - the city oil I ravel, including a,| deiaj^^H s four days’ detention at Vera Cruz passage to Mobile ) was ac complished Paz, on the coast of Cali fornia, to j„ forty. seven days.— -]{est, and in many res. trips that ■HBnHH.ii). through au (<■ Bernard to San sent to the Ann named place, lUrous ri4?3^U our rs, , For getii tVull street, the war <>! carts and she reads fanciful tales ol Onplies and outlie floor of our en try ro*kcaJ|Kijagic circle ’ tor Queen Mab.— VVhat nifitters to her the exchanges of millions of money or the gigantic transactions of the street?

The same book which occupies that girl’s mind on the floor, has once been the companion of the hours of some wealthy child, as its gilden leaves and rich covers (now stained and soiled) indi cate. The lounger in aiich fauteuil or on a costly sofa, had the identical pleasure, no more or less keenly, than this poor reader of fanciful stories. And what, after all, is the great dif ference between her and us? We all dream dreams continually, and our ambitions are too often school-boys fancies, that we forget not in our lives.

A little incident, which we happened to be eye-witness to, may perhaps help to solve the enigma. We smiled a little at the time, we have thought a good deal since, and we trust not without profit. ‘Bub.’ screamed a little bright-eyed girl, somewhat under six years of uge, to a youngster who was seated on the curbstone making hast) pudding of the nmd in the gutter; *Bub, you good-for-nothing, dirty little scamp, you tarnal imp ot~* child come right into the house this niiriutrvor I’ll spank you till Ihe skin comes off! ‘Wny, Angelina, Angelina, dear, what do you mean ; where did you learn such talk V exclaimed her mother in a wandering tone, as she stood on the steps courtesyiug an adieu to a friend.

We are now at war with the Indians, and are fully able to fight our way through. This war was orgiuated by the following circum stances : White Mr., Whitman and his men were employed in slaughtering a beef, the C)T anese Indian-, approached with their guns con cealed under their blankets, and before the whites apprehended foul play, fired, killing Dr. Whitman, wife, and eleven others, and took the women prisoners. This occurred at a mission ary station. We all turned out and started in pursuit, aud after killing about thirty of the Indians, succeeded in recaptuiing the women. The winter has been remarkably mild ano no snow in the valleys, though there i- plenty of it in sight all the year round. We can see the growing crops in the valleys and snow upon the high peaks of the mountain at the same time. The praries are large with groves ol white oak, pine, fir, cedar, and ash timber. Tbc country is much broken, aud tine faints may be found. Farmers are under no necessity of making hay, as pastures are good in all seasons of tin year. Garden vegetables, cabbages, turnips, peas, and the like, grow all winter. I have seen turnips here weigh five pounds. Wheat produces on an average from thirty to flirty bushels per acre, if well got in. It is customary when the first crop is harvested, to drag the top of a tree over the stubble, when without further cultivation, a crop offrom 15 to 20 bushels is taken off the following year. Corn docs not produce well—the seasons are too cold, and without sufficient rain. The Columbia river is as large as the ©ns quehanna, and navigable for ships and steam boats —there are now seven British and Amer-- ican vessels in the river. Willamette river is about one fourth of a mile wide, and the falls are about thirty feet nearly perpendicular.— Here we have water power equal to any in the world almost. There are now two flouring and two saw mills, six stores, and two or three hun. dred dwelling houses in Oregon City. Goods are very high. Pantaloons $9 per pair, and other clothing in proportion ; wheat, $1 ; flour, $G per barrel; oats 91; potatoes, 75 cents per bushel ; onions, 93; pork, $lO per hundred lbs ; beef, 95 ; butter, 20 cents per lb; eggs do; coffee 25 cents ; sugar, 10 cents ; tobacco, 40 cents to $1 ; molasses, 50 cunts per gallon.

Prior to his acceptance of the nomination— with the exception of the aliuse that was heap* t‘ti Yipon him because of the position he assumed injrelerence to the Oregon question and the Mexican w ar—he was not assailed or abused by any one. On the contrary, hp was a favorite witlfalmost all parties ; so highly esteemed wae he, tvhen lie was in the Cabinet of Gen.

He was eulogized by the opposition of those times; and the N. \. Courier dj’ Enquirer , and sever* •tl other influential papers, was deemed the heat man the opposition could select as its candidate for the Presidency. Gen. Cass has already passed through the vis* taos three score years and upwards ; and ner. er, during that long period, with but a single exception has bis good name been assailed.— In the year 1838, soon after the defalcation of Swartwout, and others, it was charged that he too was a defaultei, to the amount of eight hun* died thousand dollars. He was in France at ihe time; and of course had no means of de tending himself. And ere he could have made i defeucp from the other side of the ocean, the infamous story of his defalcation had refuted it. sell, and left its calumnious authors to blush for their own falsehood and infamy. A purer, a better, nobler-minded man than Gen.
