AFFAIRS IN THE PACIFIC. -
Mazatlan, Oct. 20, 1848.
By the arrival of a vessel at Mazatlan,
from StJ Francisco, the most extraordina
ry accounts continue to be received from
the " gold region," Upper California. Pre
vious reports are confirmed and repeated,
that from 8 60,000io $100,000 daily are
extracted. It is said to be about 23 ca
rats fine. The vessel before mentioned
brought to Mazatlan 75 lbs. and sold it
at 814 15 the ounce. There were sever
al whale ships and other vessels laid up
there, about 16 in all; their crews had
deserted and gone to the gold region.
The ship Huntress, which sailed from
New York on 18lh April, had been there
for some time with government stores, and
cannot discharge for , want of . launches,

Mechanics and laborers, of whom there
are very few, get five and six dollars per
day, and common cooks can and do get
$100 per month, and, in fact the induce
ment at the mines and on shore are so
great, that the people will not go to sea.
It does not appear that the government
of California had interfered to prevent
these disorders, or to establish any regu
lations over the gold district. I menlion

I employed two complete Wis ia uaoJexirig on the
shores f the Dead Sea, notwithstanding . remon
strance, of tr Bedouins who pressed me to qoit that
dangerous region. I wa. desirous of areing the Jordan
at the place where it discharge, itself into the lake ; but
the Arab refused to lead roe thither, because the river
at a league from its mouth, makes a detour! to the left,
and approaches the mountains of Arabia. It was ne
cessary therefore, to direct our steps towards the carve
wnjch was nearest us. We struck our tents, and trar- !
elled for an hour and a half with excessive difficulty, -i
through fine and silvery sand. We were moving to- i
wood ot willows and tamarinds ; which
to my great eurprise, I perceived growing in the midst
of the desert. All of a sudden the Bethlrmits stopped,

which had not yet attracted my attention. Without be

I approached it and saw a yellow stream which could
hardly be distinguished from the sand of its two banks. 1
It was deeply furrowed through the rocks and whh dif-
hcnlty rolled on, a stream burcharged with sand. It 1
was the Jordan. i

with the same interest the Eurotas and the Cephesus ; '
but on none of these occasions did I experience the in
tense emotion which I felt on approaching the Jordan.
Not only did that river recall the earliest antiquity, and I
a name rendered immortal in the finest poetry, but its i
banks were the theatre of the miracles of our religion, j
Judea is the only country which recalls at once theear- j
liest recollections of man, and our. first impressions of j
heaven ; and thence arises a mixture of feeling in the
mind, which no other part of the world can produce.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEAD S&A
AND THE VALLEY OF JORDAN.
We quitted the convent at three in the afternoon, as
cended the torrent of the Cedron, and at length, cross
ing the ravine, rejoined our route to the East. An
opening in the mountain gave us a passing view of Je
rusalem. I hardly recognised the city ; it seemed a
mass of broken rocks ; the sudden appearance of that
city of desolation in the midst of the, wilderness, had
something in it almost terrifying. She was in truth the
Queen of the Desert.
As we advanced, the aspeet of the mountains continu
ed constantly the same, that is, a powdery white with
out shade, a tree, or even moss. At half past four, we
descended from the lofty chain we had hitherto travers
ed, and wound along another of inferior elevation. At
length we arrived at the last of the chain of heights,
which close in on the West of the Valley of Jordan and
the Uead Sea. The sun was nearly setting; we dis
mounted from our horses, and I lay down to contem
plate at leisure the Lake, the Valley, and the River.
When you speak in general of a valley, you conceive
it either cultivated or uncultivated ; if the former, it is
filled with villages, cornfields, vineyards, and flocks ; if
the latter, it presents grass ot forests ; if it is watered by
a river, that river has windings and the sinuosities or
projecting points, afford agreeable and varied landscapes.
Out here, there is nothing of the kind. Conceive two
long chains of mountains running parallel from north to
south, without projections, without recesses, without ve
getation. The ridge on the east, called the Mountains
of Arabia.Js the most elevated ; viewed at the distance
of eight or ten leagues, it resembles a vast wall, extreme
ly similar to the Jura, as seen from the lake of Geneva,
from its form and azure tint. You can perceive neither
summits nor the smallest peaks ; only here and there
slight inequalities, as if the hand of the painter who
traced the long lines on the sky, had occasionally trem
bled. The chain on the western side forms pait of the moun
tains of Judea, less elevated and more uneven than the
ridge on the west; it differs also in its character ; it ex
hibits great masses of rock and sand, which occasional
ly present all the varieties of ruined fortifications, armed
men, and floating banners. On the side of Arabia on
the other" hand, black rocks with perpendicular flanks,
spread from afar their shadows over the waters of the
Dead Sea. The smallest bird could not find in those
j crevices of rock, a morsel of food ; every thing announ
j ces a country which has fallen under divine wrath ; ev
j ery thing inspires the horror at the 'incest from whence
I sprung Ammon and Moab. The-valley which lies be-
tween these mountains resembles the bottom of a sea,
from which the waves have long withdrawn ; banks of
gravel, a dried bottom rocks covered with sat, deserts
of moving sand here and iheTe stunted arbutus shrubs
; grow with difficulty on that arid soil ; their leaves are
' covered with the sail which had nourished their roots,
I while their bark has the scent and taste of smoke. In-
Jiigether Opposed to sending Ulu Zach , stead of villages, nothing but the ruins of towers are to

GEN. TAYLOR received the news of
election, with that composure and dig--ity
which are so essentially parts of his
character.
I He soon afterwards left Baton Rouge
in a boat for his plantation on the Missis
sippi ; and a rich scene occurred on board.
A passenger got into conversation with
iim, and among other things said that he
iad voted for Cass, though he thought ve
y well of Gen. Taylor as a man, but that
ie alwavs stuck to the nartv. and besides.
I Hid not exactly think Gen. T. was quali-
red for the oflice.

and partly because his wife was al-
Beware of Counterfeits. We have be
fore us a spurious Twenty-Dollar'Note of
the Bank of Georgetown, and understand
that a number of them are in circulation
in Columbia and Alabama.
To guard the public as much as possi
ble against them, we will explain, as far
as in our power, how the counterfeit can
be distinguished from the genuine. The
paper on which the counterfeit is printed
is dark and harsh the vignette of the
female at the top and centre, and more
especially, the ship in the distance, are
badly executed the numerals XX, and
the general engraving has also a darker
shade. The signature of the Cashier is
well done, and that of the President pas
sably, although more lightly written on
the spurious than the genuine. The coun
terfeit is made payable to A. G. Rose.
1 his gentleman is the Cashier of the
Charleston Bank, and the name has been
probably inserted, in this case with decep:
live views.
To those who are not critical in their
knowledge as to counterfeits, and have no
genuine note of the same denomination
before them, we would suggest that the
paper and the vignette and ship are the
most distinguishable marks by which to
judge whether a note is counterfeit or not.
The spurious bill is so well executed
that it will require much care to prevent
imposition. Charleston Courier.

j exalting (after quoting from the Salisbury
Watchman the case of the man that was

Highland Messenger.
Such are the places rendered famous by the maledic
tions of heaven ; that river ia the Jordan -, that 'lake is
the Dead Sea ; it appears with a serene surface ; but
the galty cities which are embosomed in it,s waves have
poisoned its waters. Its solitary abysses can sustain the
life of no living being ; no vessel ever ploughed its bo
som ; its shores are without trees ; without birds ;
without verdure ; its water frightfully salt, is so heavy
that the highest wind can hardly raise it. In travelling
in Judea an extreme feeling of ennui frequently seizes
the mind, from the sterile monotous aspect of the objects
which are presented to the eye ; but when journeying
on through these pathless deserts, the expanse seems to
spread out to infinity before you, the ennui disappears,
and a secret terror is experienced, which far from low
ering the soul, elevates and influences the genius.
These extraordinary scenes reveal the land desolated by
miracles; that burning sun,he impetuous eagle, the
barren fig tree ; all the poetry, all the pictures of Scrip
ture are there. Every name recalls a mystery ; every
grotto speaks of the life to come ; every peak re-echoes
the voice of a prophet. God himself? has spoken on
those shores ; these dried up torrents ; these cleft rocks,
thse tombs rent asunder, attest bis resistless hand ; the
desert appears mute with terror; and you feel that it
has never ventured to break silence since it heard the
voice of rhe eternal. Chateaubriand" Travel in the
Eaii,p. 317.
