The California Gold Fever.

This fell disease, from whose ravages so manv
cities and towns Of our happy coultry have sufer-
ed rrc tly, seems still unabated, if we may Judge
by the teeming columns OF our cotemporaries'-
The fact is, many of our exchanges exhibit so ma
nv symptoms that we approach them with reuc-
tance, and put them aside with feeling OF relief
We have not yet seen any indications OF It's ex's-
tence in this place, and feel warranted in assuring
our friends at distance, who may be fearful OF
visiting our town from belief OF its prevalence
here, that no case has yet occurred-at least II
there has been any infection, it has yielded readily
10 treatment. AS it is but prudent, however, to
ouard against the attacks Of this yellow plague we
recommend the application of some such remedy
as the following, upon the first appearance OF the
ncll alton or tendency towards the disease. 1t is
to he found in a recent letter from Commodore T..
A C. Jones, to the Secretary OF the Navy, written
from San Francisco
II have been living on shore at San Francis
co now two weeks, and have had ample oppor'
tuni,y for examining the subject and nm more
than ever satisfied that the disposal of the gold
rcuions in the Tertiary Of California 81 the hest
if no, the only practicable disposition that can
he made of them in the present dlaorsanlzed
state of society out here.
The worst oreboidngs of evil consequent
upon the want of certain and energetic admins
,ralion of Justice in this territory are almost
daily realized Within the three last weeks
we have certain accounts of fifteen murders
In one instance an entire household OF ten per-
sons-a respectable ranchcro. his wife. two
children. and six servants The man, whose
name was Reed, had been very successful in
the diggings during the summer, and had re-
turned to his home, near Santa Barbara, with
large amount of gold. His house rified OF its
golden treasure. The perpetrators tthI" horrld
deed are still at large Of the other five cases,
four arc highway rohbcrics, committed on per-
sons returning with gold from the mines. In
word may say with truth, that both persons
and properly are insecure in Upper California
n, this time and am sorry to add that, in all
cases Of outrage and violence, as yet discovered
cmprants from the United States, disbandcd
volunteers, runaway sailors, and deserters from
the army and navy, arc believed 10 be the per,
petraIors.
The 20 tscrpt is brief, but pointed
"Since the above letter was written, we have
accounts of more murders, one in the town o
Sonoma, and another in the vicinity"
