Ina pOrtant from Calir0rnia--A Month Later
from the Pacific.

When it rains it pOurs. Two important arrivals,
one from the cid Continent and the other from the
Pacific, came in on us in one day. The news from
Europe ieno sooner read, colated and talked about,
than, perhaps, equally important news comes to US
from California. Republics may be going, or gone
down in Europe; but we have something lett with
which we can console ourselves, notwithstanding.
New gold mines are discovered, industry is being
organized, mighty new republic Is putting forth
its first buds on the far distant shores of the At
lanfic.
We refer our readers, for the particulars of the
important news from California, to another part of
this days Herald This news is interesting in
variety Of aspects The products Of the gold mines
are now coming to regularly by every steamer.
Over half million Of dollars worth reached Us
yesterday, in regular way, and the probability is
that every future arrival will bring us larger sum
from tina. productive and remarkable region. New
mines, it seems, are being discovered in various
parts Of California, take the place. it would ap-
pear Of the old pacers, which have been exhausted
by the enterprise, industry and avidity of the adj
venturers who have fiocked ihther. The new
republic, clustering around San Francisco, gives
prominent and healthy signs of constitutional vi
tality. Without any settled government, wlihou,
any organized authority, riots have broken oat, bu
the natural epirit of civilization in that region ar
rests the rioters, organizes a court and publishes
them with rspidiiy and effectiveness which puts
TO shame the judicial authorities in their own City
Hall in New York, in the centre of this old and
well organized community. Elections are likewise
held-snd held too with as much order and regular.

The people of California, those adventurers, that
congregation Of loafers, they are called who ex-
cite the ridicule Of the Europeans, show more up.
niude for republican government for quelling riots,
for furnishing the wicked, aud for governing them
selves in proper way, than the people of the
highly civilized capital of Paris, or OF any other
great metropolis Ia Europe. And yet not ;one-halt
OF the Adventures, the reputed loafers, who were
on their way that TO remarkable region, had
reached there at the time referred to.
Such is the general character Of the important
intelligence just received from California, from
that new and wonderful I'll Dorado, tina, beau ideal
Of nationality, which has Ieaped into existence
with the rapdIy Of electricity, on the shores of the
Pacific, under the fostering care Of this great and
mighty mother of American republics. We fear
nothing for California. That country is on the
highway TO prosperity, wealth and greatness. The
right description Of human intelligence and Of
mental activity, have gone in that direction, and
those even who are already there, are mors capa-
bic OF constituting prosperous, happy, and sue
cessful republic, than are all the philosophers.
