Ward came to him Sunday night, before the failure, and asked him to borrow $150,000 from Vander bilt to carry the Marine hank over, stating that Grant and Ward had over $700,000 of its credit in the Marine Bank, and $130,000 of securities in the vaults of the firm. Gen. Grant did borrow this money, and that took all the rest of his property. It was proposed to keep the Marine Bank from failure, as the firm would be inconvenienced should the bank suspend. Ward did not tell General that the firm owed the bank $1.300,000.hav ing overdrown its account to that extent, and on examination of the hooks of the firm by Gen. Grant, everything appeared to be all right. Ward assured him that the Marine Bank was all right if it had time to draw m a few time loans. BEEF FOR B AR.

London, March 28. An outbreak of Asiatic cholera is said to have occurred in the Crimean porta of Rus sia. The report that Russian skirmishers had attacked Sir Peter Lumsden's party and killed two of his followers lacks confirmation. Indian princes and chiefs in Punjaub have accepted with eagerness the invitation to meet Lord Duflerin, viceroy of India, at Rowul, Pindi. on occasion of his interview with the Ameer of Afghanistan. The Times says When Disraeli called out the reserves in ’78, Earl Derby retired from the ministry. Earl Darbv’s opinion, therefore, and his experience, were unique. The risk of rupture with Russia are now greater than they were then. The C/ar’s forces are almost at the gates of Constanti nople. Even if the cabinet were disposed to preserve peace by concession aft* r conces sion, it is now clear that such a policy is a* unsafe as it would be dishonorable. Yield ing would alienate the Afghans and degrade us in the eyes of all the people of the east, without in reality averting war, which would only be postponed at the most. Delay would only benefit Russia, to the detriment of Eng- I land. Whatever frontier shall he traced, we tuu*t protect the Afghans It will be always in the power of Rn?»ia to provoke war unless we convince her that it will not be to her advan tage to do so. A compromise in the present state of affairs would be represented as a Russian victory.and would produce the oppo site conviction in Russian and Afghan minds. We are persuaded that if Russia is reckoning upon the want of spirit and inadequate re sources in England in preparing herself for war, it will he in order for her to test the strength of cohesion of her vast empire which will bring the dreams of her ambitious states men an»i soldiers to a cruel end. Fhe Standard says We appear to be on the verge of what is likely to draw into its vortex the whole civilized world. There is no tendency to boasting, but a firm, national conviction that there must be an end of yield ing. It would he a matter of regret if Rus sia should allow the whole fabric of govern ment, finance, and society, to fall to the ground with a crash If. owing to the mad ness of their rulers. England and Russia came to blows, the peace of the world will he broken. Noon—Stocks are fiat Home funds are dull and falling. Foreign funds are fiat. Russians are quoted at 1-2 Despatches from M >*eow show that a com mercial crisis exists in that citv. Within the past thirty days five of the largest tea am) sugar importing firms have failed.

It is reported tha* the naval reserves will be immediately called out for service. The government ha* given contracts for 100, 000 uniform*. In the House of Lords, last night, Bar m Crevill withdrew the notice that he would a*k the Duke of Cambridge, whether in view of the heavy losses in Sunday’s engagement, which was due to the disregard of tin* most ordinary military precautions, den. McNeil had lost the Duke’s confidence. It i« reportad that appropriations of from six to eight million pounds will he asked in April on account of the navy. Baris. March 27. Capt. Abkonaff, Governor of Meru, who induced the Khan of Meru, and other chiefs, to petition Russia for annexation, in an inter view. today, said Russia should sieze Herat before England could get an opportunity to fortify it. Rus sia would never have a h“tter chance for se curing Herat than at present. London. March 27. In the House of Lords this evening Earl dranville said that there was nothing indi- j eating a tendency to flinch on the part of the government regarding the Afghan question. The government was firmly adhering to the policy agreed upon by both of the great po litical parties, while at the same time they .were availing themselves of every means to to arrive ar a satisfactory solution. He was unable to fix the date when negotiations would be concluded. Russia was now, he concluded, considering England's despatch. England considered Russia bound by her recent agreement. In the meantime the Ameer of Afghanistan had instructedjhis chiefs to observe neutrality London, March 27. I ne irlobe says that a proposal partaking of the nature of an ultimatum, was telegraph ed by the government to St. Petersburg, yes terday. It was requested at the same time that the Russian government should send an answer that woald reach London, not later than Monday next. St. Pcteksbi hg. March 27. The failure of Scaramanza A Co..merchant of London, with branch houses of St. Peters burg and Rastoff, created a great sensation in financial circles The minister of finance sent the Governor of the State bank to Mos cow to confer with bankers in that city. The purpose is to devise tome means of averting a financial crisis, which is believed to be im minent through the recent heavy failure. It is reported that the government lias chartered a number of steamers to transport troops across the Caspian Sea. Scakim. March 27. The coolies have struck for higher wages.

I will try and give you a little description of it. I left San Francisco the 17th of Feb. at 3 o'clock P. M. 1 crossed the bar to Oakland, and took the train on the South Pacific K. K-, for Modes to, which was my first stopping place. When we got into the country I noticed the fanners were ploughing and sowing grain, and the field# and pastures were as green a* those of Maine in June. The pastures were covered with a yellow flower in bloooi, which look* in the distance like our buttercup, but it is a different variety of flower. 1 got to Modesto, which is about 114 miles from San Francisco, at about 9.30 1\ M. Modesto is in the midst of about the best wheat producing country in the L'nited States. It is in the San Joaquin Valley, and very level. There are no stones.and the soil is a black loam, very light and porous. I spent the next day there, and at 9.30 P. M. took the train for Fresno, where I arrived at 12-30, midnight. This is another lively lit tle town of about 2500 inhabitants, in this same valley. The valley is 100 miles or so wide here. On the east are the Sierra Neva da Range of mountains, in full sight, and their summits snow crowned. On the west between us and the Pacific Ocean lies the ('oast Range, while the valley is as level as a barn floor. A great deal of fruit is raised here, peaches, apricots, prunes and graphs Great quantities of wine and raisins are also made. A Maine colony is located there, but I did not think to inquire about them I took the train at 12-30 A M. for Los Angeles I had a berth in the sleeper and w ent to bed and slept quite soundlv 1 awoke about 8 A. M. and knew by the puffin/ .*f the locomotives that we were going up the moun tains. I dressed as quickly as possible and went out on the platform of the ear«. There were two engines on the train, and it was all they could do to haul us up the steep grades. It was a beautiful morning, and the scenerv was very fine. The road wound ground and round the mountain sides, some times almo*t doubling upon itself. In one place it makes a complete loop in going a few miles going completely round a mountain, and crusting itself several hundred feet higher up; and standing on the rear platform of the cars one can almost see the whole loop be hind. I saw the sun rise three or four times that morning. It would be seen over the top of one mountain, and the train moving along would bring another higher one between, and so hide it About 7 30 A. M. we got to the summit, and then it was a down grate to Mojave—pronounced as though spelled Mo ha-ve, accent on second syllable, and broad sound of *‘a.”—where we arrived about 9 A. M. and stopped lor breskta^t This is a station on the edge of the great Mojave des ert It is where the Atlantic 4 Pacific Railroad branches oft' ac ross the continent, connecting with the Atchinson, Santa Fe Topeka. After leaving Mojave, we run through a deaert country until nearly noon. Nothing growing but Yucca trees, a kind of cactus, from which, it has been recently dis covered. verv good quality of paper can be made. About noon we piss through a tunnel in the San F«tmho lo mountains. I do not know how long u i«, but we were five min utes in passing through. When we get on the other side the country begins to look little more habitable, and at 1.30 P. M. we arrive in Los Angeles, 4H« miles from San Francisco. It is hot and dusty. As I go up to the hotel 1 see orange trees loaded with yellow fruit, anng the moun tains where there is a large ranch owned by a SpanisH f*miTy. and which has been in the possession of the family over a hundred years. They raise all kinds of fruit, oranges, lemons, grapes, figs, olives, Euglish walnuts, etc. They make wine and olive oil. Any thing that the stage passengers want in the shape of fruit or wine is free. Everything was as neat as a piu. The buildings were grouped around three sides of a square, in the centre of which a fountain was playing I was very much interested in the place. Well, we go on. and about 6 o'clock stop at a board shanty for supper and to change horse* After supper we settle down for an all night’s ride. At about 12 30. midnight, we get to San Buenventara,where we change horses, stage and driver. We get started from there about 1 30 for the remaining ride of .10 miles. The most of the way the road runs right along the shore of ifee Pacific Ocean. For 15 miles, I should think, we drive along the beach, where the waves, as tuey roll in from India’s coral strand. wash our horse’s feet It is a bright moonlight night and very pleas ant, although I am too tired to enjoy it much. We arrive at Santa Barbara about 6 30 A. M. I spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday there, leaving Sunday night by steamer for San Francisco, where I arrived Tuesday morning, having been absent two week*. Santa Barbara is the finest place, (as far as climate and weather is concerned) that I have visited yet The days that I spent there were simply perfect. It is never very hot, seldom going above IK) degrees, and never cold. It is situated on the coast, and people go in bathing the year round if they choose. A’oinlitatlons by the (governor. Gov.

If the number of arrests for drunkenness is to be taken as an ladicatation of the preva lence of drinking habits in Portland, the practice holds its own remarkably.
