n,scopERY OF VEIN OF GoLD.-We
r.ke the following from the Alta Calitor-
,,;, of the 18th September:
Col J. c. Fremont has denounced
,,oct of land lying Oh the Mariposa river.
hon, ferty miles from the San Joaquin,
rpou which has been recently discovered
on exceedingly rich vein OF gold. The
Maripoas Tor Butterfly river. was few
months since visited by party conducted
nv this eminent explorer, and washings
established along the stream. The land
occupied by this party was conveyed to
the Colouel in 1916, aud the mines there
uoou having been regularly denounced,
-.ccordme to the Mexican law, measures
have been taken to work them. The
vein is about two feet Ill Thickness at the
surface and is found in the usual strata OF
.ouartz. The yield is about eight ounces
of gold TO 100 pounds OF rock A speci-
non was exhibited at this .Office few
d,vs since. together with a mass OF gold
extracted by quicksilver. weighing about
,h,ee ounces. There is every reason to
hel;eve that this vein may be traced many
Jeagues in extent and be found of unIn-
serrupted richness. The gold mlnes OF
eCaI,to.nia are now i'll reality discovered!
The convention at Monterey was rapid
av progressing in the task OF framing
constitution. The following Is the latest
;prelliueuce from that body, taken from
the Alta Californian of the 10Th Sept:
The ..Declaration of Rights was
adopted bv the convention. Ill Committee
of the Whole, on the l lth inst., which,
amounting to about one-eighth of the
constitution. induces belief That the eud
of the present month will find the conven-
tiou prepared TO adjourn. The slavery
question was unanimously settled on the
10th INST. The only matter which bids
fair TO detain the convention Is the APP
propriatlng OF representatives 10 the dit
ierenl districts. With the desire tor COM
promise manifested, however, we foresee
no real difficulty i'll acqulltlng itself Of the
task.
The influx of population into the gold
region is going Oh al all accelerated pace.
The Alta Californian says:
about 10000 persons, mostly young
men, compose the overland emigration
this year. A portion OF this body is al
ready in the country. aud patlieS are
nearly every day arriving. Captain Z,
Owen, who piloted company across the
country by the Santa Fe route, diverging
to the northern road, crossing the Sierra
Nevada, and entering California near
Johnsons rancho. reports the emigration
in an unusually forward state, with provl-
slons plenty and to spare. The grass
along the road had been abundant, aud
but in one place was ii believed a scarcity
of food for stock would be encountered
This was above the sink of Mary river,
and here. by abandoning the road, "a sub
sistence could be procured"

New YORK Oct. 81, lS49---MuS by
Telegraph.---We had the pleasure this
evening of listening to the transmission
OF music by Telegraph over the wires
from Boston to New York We happen
ed to be in the office, Hanover ST.. i'll
this city. When there was a pause III
business operations, Mr.. W. Porter, a
young but skillful operator in the Boston
office, asked us what tune we would nave;
we replied Yankee DOODLE and TO our
surprise, he immediately complied with
our request. The instrument commenced
drumming the notes of the time as per-
tectly aud as distinctly as skillful drum
mer could have made them at the head
of a regiment, and many will be aston
ished to hear that Yankee Doodle can
travel by lightning. We then called for
Hail Columbia when the notes of that
national air were distinctly beat off. We
then called for 'Auld Lang Syne, the
notes or sounds of which were also trans
mitted. A friend called for Old Dan
Tucker when Mr.. Porter also sent that
tune. and if anything in more perfect
manner than the others. So perfectly
aud distinctly were the sounds OF those
tunes transmitted, that good instrumental
performers could have no difficulty III
Aeeplng time with the instrument at this
ela OF the wires This is one of the ma
ny telegraphic novelties.

The PACIFIC RAlLRoAD.--Thomas AL
len, Esq. i'll letter published in the St.
Louis Republican, suggests some practi-
cal difficulties in respect to the Pacific
Railroad, which must be considered and
provided for. He says:
You will see, for example, on the sup
position that the business of the Pacific
road will be in proportion to that upon the
Western, that il will require over eight
thousand tons of water per day; over five
hundred thousand cords of wood per an
num, and over three hundred and twenty
five thousand gallons of oil to grease the
wheels. These apparent difficulties, we
trust. will all vanish before the applica-
tions of genius in developing the resOur-
ces of the country. The want of waller
and wood upon the few hundred of miles
of plains intervening between the forests
which skirt the State boundaries and the
mountains, may possibly be supplied by
Artesian wells and pumps, and the shafts
which go down for the water WILL doubt
less. at the same time expose, occasionally,
at least, subjacent beds of coal in ample
supplies for the necessary fuel.
II is fact probably not thought of, but
in the diminishing supplies of sperm oil
we shall find the necessity of elevating
the swine to the dignity of the land
whale. aud of taking from him the oil
which the deep will no longer give mp.
The Pacific railroad. i'll full operation.
will consume the oil of more than thirty
thousand hogs per annum.

French writer, the following opinion of
dancing is quoted from the Reformer: us
dancing sinfuI:' his disciples asked him.
He replied, "Was not dancing allowed
to the Jews? I am not able to say; but
one thing is certain-people dance now-a-
days. Dancing is necessity OF our
state. like dress with women. aud like
dinner or supper. And indeed | do not
see how dancing can be prohibited. Ii
people commit sin. 1t IS not the fa"lt OF
the dancer, which does not offend against
faith or charity. Dance, then, my chill
