 Now where would you go 10 find l B more orderly men aud all this, too, without any law exc.n, c,,, mon consent to do right. Not to the s, Charles | am sure. 1 mention the St Charles from a cir eamstance that took place there during few days stay en my way here. walked into the b,lIs,J room with n friend, and looked ou a game uu,il played through Upon leaving the room, | observed to my eonrade that the gsme-keeper was very careless scorer, else he designed to cheat one ef the parties. "Why, certainly replied he, .one if the players is gambler aud the other is eoantry. man. That fat-face, suiky looking lcllew was cheating fer the gambler" "Why." saidI, "dia not some of these gentlemen teH him he was cheat edl' ''because,' said he, "they are all gamblers. and all concerned in robbiag the country fellow Said l, "that polite, ane-looking, old gea,lemaa. with gloves, cannot he gambler' "No," said hr, "he has got rather old His eye-slght aunt sharp enough for the tricks now; he's what they call a faro broker; that means repng into inc baak, and his commission is half the winning" Bat" said l, suppose the bank loses}'' "Ah,n said he, g.sf fa kind of games" 'sWe is the little doeles one of 'emF' ''~ hat. that sly. sheapish-Iooking iclIowl Yes.

 Now. I would advise ali such sbrokers" and "too;h pullets, fl they have any idea of coming 10 Fl Dorado. not to come about the sbiV oak, unless they have made up their minds 10 abandon thes old tricks and are disposed to nake homes, living, and would advise aii, anywhere, who are doing well, to stay where they are; thoagh fortunes caa and will be made here, not by picking gold eJt with jack knife in four or hye pound tunaps, bal with much toi and hard labor From the beSl tniOtms- ton can get, the average of our whole uamt~r per day, for the last eight months, hHs been Sl1 J0 sS you fortunes aint 10 be made in day nor in IT you ever saw men at work on a caaal or mill race, or digging foundation for \ lsr.e house in your city, yaa have very good idss ui the labor In getting gold here. would not have troubled you with this ill-digested episte had t no, been for the accounts have read about this try. How il may be Ia other portions know nol, but what have told yon about "diggius' is trae. feel much more safe here from every kind of harm than l would in yoar weIl.orglnned city, or any other city. Bat thiak there are more yH-
 Hans congregsted in New Orleans than in sny other place iu the world. to 10 some of your billiard rooms, and out of the muititndes usually the niue. teen out of twenty are gamblers. Whatdrones upOa community. What multitude living of of honest men. have aoesabt many expect to make their jack out of tho gold s+dggias" here, hut ii they should squat down about the "big oak with any such view, they had better think of Ycksburg.
