where we want to see him 1t is the design and

CALIFORNIA.

1t IS probable that the emigrants generally who
left this section Of country for the California gold
mines, have by this time reached their destination
The many relatives and friends they have left
behind may therefore soon expect letters detail
ing their opening experience among the gold
mines of California. We can we'll imagine the
anxiety with which these letters will 3e looked
for and the varied emotions of hope and appre-
hension that will prevail in the minds of such as
have and feel an interest IN those who are there
seeking their fortunes. We trust all will bear in
mind the unc erainty of human calculations and
nerve themselves torthose disappointments which
1t IS not impossible may come. We have no wish
to destroy wantonly any pleasing hopes which
may exist in any minds with reference to Caifor-
ma prospects, but we cannot forbcar to express
the opinion that the dsappontmens which will
be experienced will far exceed the fortunate re-.
suits Of which we shall hear. Every thing has
looked, and for the matter of that still continues
to took, remarkably fair for all who have zone to
California, digging with little labor, world of
wealth for themselves, but these looks are ex-
tremoly deceptive. The public mind has dwelt
upon the newspaper statements of the many for
tunate individuals who have been among the
mines, and without careful reflection the conclu-
sion has been jumped at that these fortunate per-
sons included every person who was there. This
is great mistake. If every one of these state
ments could be got together and carefully scrut-
nized, 1t would probably be found, admitting them
all to be true, that not two thousand persons in
all had been thus fortunate, and this is about one
10 every ten engaged in digging; so that for one
successful person we have ten who are unsuc-
cesstuI, making the chance of realizing wealth
as one IN ten. The number of miners will be
doubled before the close of the present season,
and although the chances will not diminish in pro-
portion to the increase of numbers, yet they will
grow less. The stray Jumps will have been
picked up, and the convenient spots will have
been exhausted, and if but one to ten HIS pros
percd heretofore, it will not be unsafe to conclude
that the number of lucky ones may be reduced to
one in fifteen, with the mining population doub-
led. few years agoa similar fever on a small
er scale, broke out with regard to the lead mines
in this region of country. They were just being
discovered, and few persons had struck rich
leads which yielded abundantly Hundreds and
we dontknow but thousands rushed to the spot
and out of every twenty nineteen worked them
selves pennyess, and got their labor for their
pains. 1t will be so there, and those who are
looking forward 10 see friends and rnat;vos 70,
turn laden with the gittcring ore, whilstthey nnay
not be disappointed will probably see them re-
turning pennyess and ispinted-forunate if
peace of mind and health have not been left be-

AFFAIRS AT RoME-INsULT TO THE AuEPI-
