BLOOMSBURY, COLUMBIA CO., SATURDAY. JAM - Is

! ten thousand under the mark, We have
! little doubt, that by the first of September
next, there will have been twenty thous'
and or more added to the number in the
country on the 3Oth of August last.
One passage in the letter we have read
with much roget, which is
Every man engaged in hunting gold, and ev.
cry one that visits the gold regiun, goes armed to
the teeth. Scenes Of violence occur; there is no
security Tor life or property" sc.
This is deplorable. We hope this state
of things is not quite so bad, though, and
we have seen published letters that give a
much more haltering account of the morals
and department of those who are digging
for gold. But it must be confessed that
this is a pursuit not well calculated TO i'm
prove and elevate the moral sentiments of
those who are actually engaged in tive
mean those who perform the manual labor
required by the several processes of ex.
tracing and manipulating, But the intro'
duction of law and regulations will no
doubt remove much of the evil, if it connot
remove all.
