Mr. Russel made his earliest explorations in the South. He was received snd treated with ‘marked hospitality, by the chief men of several of the southern states, and especially eo-by the Confederate Government at Montgomery. He was feted and caressed by southern wealth and talent wherever he -went, and overwhelmned by displays of kindness and confidence on the part of President Davis and bis Cubinet Ministers. His Act ters in the Times, written in the south, ‘have beon republisbed in the United States, and some of them have been given to the Californi*n public in the Sacramento Union. In these letters, whieh have evidently been dashed off, currente calamo, with the honest intention of presenting the truth without modification or’ disguise, three facts are vividly pre-eminent: Ist, thut the south, and especially South Carolina, is ruled, by an aristocracy ; 2dly, that this aristocracy entertains a deep and implacable hatred of the inhabitants of the free states; and, 3dly, it looke with contempt and loathing upon all shapes ard shades of democracy and democratic institutions, and longs and sighs for a monatchical government like that of Great Britain. Mr. -Ruasell asserts that he was not left to guess or infer these three facts from obscure hints; on the contrary, he heard them freely, openly, aud boldly enunciated, in every aristocratic cotene to which he was admitted. ‘Some ef the very wealthy planters, he says, would-be glad to have ason of Queen Victoria to reign over them, as a constitutional and limited monarch, or would be just aa well pleased to form a part of the British empire, with Victoria for their sovereign. They despise ’ and abominate Northrons,, because, as they contend, they are descended froin baseborn ancestors, vulgar mechanics and traders, while the aristocratic Southrons are cions of the proud nobihty of England and France. Mr. Russell is not the first writer who has instructed the world as to the peculiar notiens of the Southrons in respect to their political and social status. Southern magazines and newspapers have often manifested the same feelings and promulged the same _opinidaswith_which the aristocratic planters of the Cotton Confederacy met the correspondeat. of the Times. The aristocratic and monarchic tendencies of the southern upper classes being thus made patent, a series of queries are naturally suggested, more easily propounded than answered: What pessibility exists of these southern contemners of democratic institutions ever becoming willing citizens of a united republic, established and governed on democratic princiciples? Can they be cogreed by war into an affectionate regard for the narthern people whom they now so bitterly hute?, Are. their friends and sympathizers, in California, also aristocrats and monurchists ? or are they, as they loudly profess themselves to be, democrats dyed in the wool? Are Ex-Senator Gwin aud Ex-Representative Scott, who lately left California to embark their fortunes in the secession ship, willing and anxious to erect a throne in the Cotton Confederacy, to be filled by one of the royal family of Great .

With the pleasant company of your Mr. Casamayou, and propelled by Lancaster's big surrels, I started on the morning of the 30th, on a patriotic excursion fur Virginia city. We made Eureka by noon,_ of the Henness Pags road, and well they may, for the town needs the life blood of travel to revive its prosperity. A geiitleman of whom rounding mines informed us that they were “pretty well seratched out.” He told us, however that’a place near by which he called Chapparral Hill was noted for good diggings. He shid-he-hadworked there himself and persevered until his money was all gene, and he had run 2 pretty heavy-grub bill, and be wes now, working on the Eureka ditch to get square, We thought that was not much of a recommendation for Chapparral Hill. ._One of the first persous who grected us on alighting at Eureka was brother Rabbitts, who had just arrivéd on his way to Nevada, to steer the “‘masheen” on the 4th. His rich Washve complexion beamed pleusure at meeting old acquaintencee, and we were particularly glad to see him, and get information about the roud. .He drew » splendid picture of the road, and informed usa that the large reservoir at the head of the Middle Yuba, belonging tothe English Co. had “busted” carrying away the bridge at Jackson’s and lurgely swelling: the stream. “But,” eard Rabbitts, ‘you will get through without trouble ; alb you will have to do will be to take off the wheels, and the box and thetop of the buggy, carry them across swim your horses, and —" “Whew!” Lexclaimed, at this poiut, thinking he was just going to say that we would have te swim ourselves, and -thinking with a shudder of plunging into the icy ‘waters of the Middle Yuba, with a ten mile current, at the edge of evening.
