Thus IL appears that the brave and patriotic
Volunteers who have gone to Mexico, 10 defend
the rights and honor Of their country, already be-
gin to realize the extraordinary value of this in

HORRIBLE MISTAKES!!'
Are sometimes made by confounding one medi-
cine with another, and administering the wrong
article. Equally horrible are those mistakes which
are made n supposing that all Pills are alike. and
that therefore it is indifferent which are taken,
and il one kind is bad all are bad together This
is a very great mistake. There is as much differ.

other articles, as between midnight and MONDAY
We do not wish any one to take our word merely
for this statement, Let any one, having taken
other medicine, try this. Nothing more will be
necessary. f8Ef ste
Many persons have been lead away by CoAT.
ING OF SUGAR, as if they anticipated that Il
would remove the nausea of the medicine. But
they are generally mistaken. Without the SUGAR
those articles have nothing to recommend them,
and would not be sold single day. But with the

Arrival from the Pacific.
Prosperity and Wealth Of California

Captain Samuel v. Shreve, late OF
the barque Annetta, of Boston, sold in
the Pacific, passed through New York
on Wednesday, en- route from the west
ern shore Of America to Boston. Cap
tain S. came overland, across the 18TH
mus of Panama, and was bearer Of
dispatches from our naval force at Ma
zallan TO the government, which have
been forwarded to Washington. He
passed Mr.. Livingston and family in
crossing the lsthmus, on the 28th OF
June. They were all well. The ad-
vices from California, by Captain S.,
are to the Soth Of March, as given in
the following interesting letter 10 the
New York Herald:
California, March 80, 1848.
Private and public, religious and po-
litical affairs are all right side up in Cal
ifornia.
Col. Mason moves on slow and steady
cutting Gown his expense to small
scale, and keeping the country, in as
good order as possible. Our Governor
has but few troops; the Warren is our
squadron-yet our situation appears
safe. All our Vessels-of-war Of this
station, are holding possession of the
Pacific ports Of Mexico. They will
move for California in June, to avoid
the gales Of San Bias and MazalIan.
Trade is fast increasing with us. In
1847 our imports exceeded the amounts
of several previous years.
Farms are being settled. and by men
who will soon know their value; the
tide Of emigration has as yet Sc, for the
Oregon as in '46 and AT. We pur-
chased large amounts Of flour and lum.
ber, and some few other articles; they
have cracked up that country in fine
style. In the fall Of '46 the new state
OF affairs, the entrance oil so MANY stran-
gers, the presence Of a large squadron,
soon consumed every article in the mar.
ket. We therefore purchased -four and
boards at the Oregon; this is now to
stop. Saw mills and flour mills are
rising in every direction; by next year
the price ofIumber in California and the
freight from Oregon will be the same.
Oui farming lands are fast rising in val
ue; house lots in towns 1000 per cent.
in value. There are several young
men, who arrived here in '46, that have
made $1,000 to $4,000 in land specu-
lations. e ~
Mines are discovered in many places,
but quicksilver is to enrich California
beyond all other mines. There is one
now in operation belonging 10 Barron,
Forbes & Co., an English house in
Mexico. The workmen at this mine
use the common try.pots, few picks
and crowbars, and for few days past
have bottled off 800 dollars per day.
