Prom Panama.

Mr. SYDNEY DOwsEs, Of Worcester, Mass. who
went out in the Northerner 10 Chagres and thence
to Panama, where. after stopping three days he
concluded to abandon his jour sy 70 San Francisco
and the disgings and return in the Northerner
has favored as with an oral narrative Of what he
saw and heard. which is not as fatterng az some
other accounts from that quarter.
He saws that he left ! 500 American rs at Panama,
some Of whom had been awaiting conveyance TO
California for three months, beside 800 more at
or near Gorgona, and 500 more at and about Cha
gres Some had exhausted all their means, and
knew not what TO do. meeting had been held
10 consider the possibility OF travelling thence by
lard through Central America and Mexico, butthe
project was found improbable for want OF roads,
water and provisions. Some would come back to
New Orleans, and try 10 resume their journey
from tina, point by one OF the overland routes Oi
course the mat rity held on 10 the hope OF getting
passage by water 10 San Francisco but 1t " a.
very generally believed that the California would
not be able to return TO the lsthmus very soon
that her crew would all desert Immediately on
reaching San Francisco.
There was much sickness at Panama as well as
on the way across the Isthmus-dysentery, brain
fever, &c, &c. Deaths were frequent
The latest dates at that place from san Fran
cisco came down only 70 December. Two British
gentlemen who left at that time came passengers
in the Northerner, and Mr.. Downes conversed with
them very freely. They had been at the Mines
but were disenchanted They thought they could
do IS well working for dollar day about this
quarter as in digging gold on the Sacramento.
They estimated the average yield TO the hand at
8 per day, and the cost Of living at 90 OF
course, the net profits would not support a man
family very sumptuously. There were many to be
sure. who did better, but this was fair average
in their judgment.
Oar readers will take this as one side OF the
picture-that which faced Mr.. Downes. We en-
deavor to show it in every light reflected on ii by
responsible parties. We hope to give something
farther from Mr.. Downes in day or two.
