The COLD FEVER ~ CALrFonNI..
give on the first page, from the New York
Herald, pretty full account Of the Juror
that was raging in California in June last on
the subject Of gold. Later accounts show
that The excitement has by no means abat-
ed. From another letter to the Herald, da-
ted July 20, we take the following extract /:
We have received very exciting news
from Upper California; gold has been dis
covered there III great quantities, and it is
said that one man got 81 500 worth in ten
days Every one going thoro-even Tn
Gle SANS troops. Some forty men OF Com
pany {, stationed at Souama, went in, and
laying down their arms, saying they had no
further use Tor them, marched of TO the gold
region. Twenty five deserted from San
Francisco barracks, and The southampton
was obliged To sail as the crew would have
deserted likewise. There are twenty i've
hundred persons there now, and the number
will be increased one thousand more when
this regiment is disbanded.
The Mormons have the police establish
ment Of the place, aud defy Col. Mason and
his whole force 10 drive them of. Crime is
very prevalent; and murders are allowed,

ADMISSIONS OF NEUTRAL JOURNALS
Scarcely an exception is to he found among
The large number Of papers holding neutral
positions in politics, that does no, freely adj.
nit the strength and popularity Of Gen.
Cass. Unbiased in their feelings, they can
look at the prospects Of parties as they real
" stand; and seeing, most clearly, the nu.
merous evidences around them Of the pow.
erful hold our candidate has upon the opin.
ions and affections Of the people, they are
usually frank in stating what they think of
coming results.
Major NOAH, an editorial veteran Of New
York, now editor of the Sunday Times, has
made frequent incidental illusions to partv
prospects in the present canvasss Some lit.
Tie time since, the following candid admis.
sion appeared in his paper:
"The consequence of this is, tia, the pros.
poets OF General Cass begin to brighten in
every direction; and, in TACT, were il not for
the rude and unsettled character of the
times, he would have no serious opposition.

The BARNBUENER PLATruRM.-We ask
every honest man, who is opposed to the
dissolution of the Union. whether the Buila-
10 platform is one upon which the North and
the South can ever stand together?
The fatal objection to the free soil party
!, tina. ii is cmimently sectional, and can
never succeed but amidst the ruins of the
Union aud the constitution.
1t resolves all political action into single
!dea, and makes the agitation Of s!are,y The
main business IF Congress.
The democracy Of the north Rave always,
as body, withstood this influence, but the
federal or the whic party has always taken
advantage ufit. We had rather be a mi
nority state party belonging to the Union,
than in a local majority with the party of
LiSunon.

We can scarcely open paper that does
No; contain an account Of some great barn
burner til1lt ont. Every meeting they at
tempt 10 get mp is more or less at failure
we appeal confidently to the candid mcn in
this community, whether every particle Of
enthusiasm that was got up here some three
months ago in favor of Van Burauism has
not completely died out. There is no vita
Ity left IN the movement. The sensible men
oia!l parties, who at first joined the move.
ment, are beginning TO see that it can amount
to nothing, and that the issue for the prcsi-
dency lies between Cass and Taylor-be-
tween democracy and whi-gcry-that the
harnbnrnrr can be but the scattering vote
and that Van Buran stands no earthly
chance OF carrying single tate. And see
ing this they lave no thought of throwing
their votes away. Those who have been
democrats, conccde that it is still vastly
preferable to elect democrat TO a viii,
willie those who have been wings, are gov
erned by similar reasoning. II there was
a hope Of carrying this state for Van Burcn,
or even of carrying New York for him.
there might be some excuse for vo.
ting for Van Blren, although it even could
but help the whigs in this state, bat as there
is no such hope, and voters must choose be-
tween Cas- or Taylor, willing or unwilling

10 the bare walls, on Monday morning last.
The fire was discovered about half past
three O'Clock, but not until it was beyond
the power Of the citizens TO arrest its pro.
