California Gold.

Knowing the great desire to have authentic
intelligence Of the state Of things in California,
we give to-day, in full, an official report from a
Government officer. It will be seen that even
the rumors which have reached us, did not ex-
aggcratc the truth, and this official corroboration
Of them has already created mania which will
pour Northern Adventures like an avalanche
upon the shores Of California.
IN hear daily Of vessels fitting out for that
country from many of the sea.ports-twenty or
thirty of which, it is said, are to sail from New
York, and half that number from Boston, in a
few days. California will have population Of
10000 in less than a year, If the accounts from
the gold regions continue to be of the character
they now are, and all other industrial pursuits
will be abandoned in the search for gold.
The effect Of such sudden wealth upon ma
tons or individuals has never been productive
Of good, but of corruption, efIeminacy, and the
multitude of evils that come in their train.
One good effect, however, is pretty certain &c
flow from this excitement 1t will fill up thai
part Of the country with hardy and enterprisinl
adventures from the free States, and eiIectual
ly exclude slavery from New Mexico and Cali
forum.
