letters received from San Francisco
by one of the oldest. largest, and most
respectable houses in Pearl street, and
communicated for the Tribune by the
parties to whom they were addressed.
II will be seen that they fully confirm
the most exciting accounts as to the
richness of the mines and the guam
titles in which gold has been procur-

been for eight or ten years the Cali

question, and, as we are assured by
its head, is a man Of the most sound,
cautious and reliable character. We
add, that any persons wishing to know
the names of the parties, can have
them by applying to the publication

Whose hearts and hands subdue the earth,
And compass all the seal

Who cleave the forests down,
And plant amid the wilderness

Who fight the battles, bear the scars,
And give the world its crown
