Talk ofthe-, and he appears. We
had Just commenced writing the short ar
ticle in another column referring to the
Alta California's" complimentary no.
tice ofour letters from the mines, when
the following "issive bearing the San
francisco post-mark of the 2d of July,
and supersclibed "pur the Oregon" came
to hand.
The old boy does not write with his
usual alacrity of spirit. On the contrary,
he seems to have been quite chop-fall-
en-" Not a word does he say about the
wife he commissioned It's to get for him,
although we wrote to him two months ago
That we had filled the order, and would
forward with care, this side ur," to any
place he might designate. What is still
worse, he is silent on the subject of that
"pile Of gold" mentioned in his former
advices. Can the old fellow have been
gambling?
