We published a few days ago an extract
from letter in the New York Post, from a
disbanded volunteer, in California; who stated
that he had accumulated $1,000 in gold in
California, and was coming home. The Post
gives the sequel az follows:
The letter was received here, and pub.
lished, in the Post on the goth inst. Only
two days after it's receipt, to the extreme sur
prise and Joy Of his wife and family, Lough.
rey presented himself before them. He had
accumulated at the mines nine or ten thou.
sand dollars, and surprising the sum mex
haus,ible, took passage to this country very
soon after the above letter was written, hav.
ing about $1,000 worth of dust in his trunk,
and the balance Of his wealth on his person.
His idleness and prosperity were Too much
for his new resolutions. He abandoned him
self to intemperance, and the money so easi.
ly acquired, was lightly priced. On his arri-
val in this city he hired a carriage to carry
him to his home, which his golden letter had
but few hours previous made so happy; bu,
before he reached it he contrved TO spend
forty dollars, in drink and upon his driver,
and on his arrival, the trunk, containing his
$1,000, was missing, and large portion of
the money which he had brought away upon
his person His unhappy wife, when she
became aware of her foolish husbands i'm.
providence, solicited the aid of gentlemen to
whom she was known, and steps were i'm
mediately taken to preserve what money had
not been wasted, and to recover what had
undoubtedly been stolen from him. About
$1,000 were thus saved and sent to the mint
at Philadelphia. The trunk and its contents
are probably lost for ever Loughrey can
give no account whatever of il.
