From THE GOLD r. REGIoN.-Ne find the
following account of letter in the Louis
vile Courier.
We saw letter yesterday from Jerry
Cochrane, dated August 25, at San
Francisco. He is we'll known on the
river, having been steamboat clerk for
many years. The letter is written 10
friend III Louisville, i'll which he details
some OF his experience. He started from
Louisville last February, and after many
miShaps arrived at Paualna. There he
shipped Oh small brig for San francisco.
lie helped to work the vessel, as hand
before the mast, and paid out his last
dollar for the privilege. Arriving at San
Francisco he looked about the city for a
job. as he hadn't {. cent to buy bread with
The first application was to a house
builder, who Immediately hired him to
do the joiner work at $40 per day. The
houses were canvas tents, and he sewed
up the seams.
lie saw good many people from the
Estates" who had been 10 the diggingS,
and were returning home, about three
tourths OF them being hoInesick. Most
OF the gold hunters thought to make
fortunes in month or two-and that,
TOO, without working. AT the diggings
the deluson was eHectuaIly dissipated;
for when once there, it was "root, hog, or
die" all the time.
At San Francisco Mr. Cochrane met
two men who figured IN Louisville year
ago, buying goods, &C., and forgetting to
pay for them. They were Gustavus
Dergwall and man by the name of Linn.

mercial Row, aud purchased $4,000 worth
Of goods Oh credit, slipped out of Louis
vile with his piunder, and his creditors
were left to whistle for their money
The fellow had bad luck, though, as his
ill Cotton goods failed to reach San
francisco, to which place he had shipped
them.

the cost but little, compared with the
many benefits that will undoubtedly fol-

On being enstalled into office, after the
Indian fashion. this head chief called upon
his subordinales freely to express their
opinions upon all matters of importance
connected with the affairs of the nation;
whereupon many speeches were delivered.
They were generally of the most friendly
character, but none more so than that de-
livered by the newly elected chief him
self. He maintained that his people had
formerly made war upoh Texas when
it was 'feeble and alone, and had gaiu-
ed nothing; and he gave it as his opinion
that if they now continued to make war
upon Texas, since it had become part
Of the United States the result would be
their utter destruction as nation. He
also expressed his determination to do ali
in his power to put stop to the thieving
depredations which had been committed
by portion Of his people against the
white inhabitants, and expressed hope
that his efforts would be successful.

having agreed to the advice of BuHuLo

Fatal FIcHr IN COLUMBIA cores

Fatal FfGHT IN CoLUMBIA.-A cores
pondeut of the Estate Democrat" in Co.

paper with the following account of a
fatal rencontre at that place on the 9th
ult. between Archibald w. Goodloe, and
Romulus Payne. The difficulty origin
ated in some financial transactions be-
tween the parties, respecting which,
suit was in progress in the Circuit Court
of that county:
"Goodloe attacked Payne with double
barrel shotgun loaded with buck-shot,
and six-shooting revolver. Distance
apart when the gun was fred about 20
steps. The shot took effect, but scatter
ing very much, striking Payne from his
head to his feet, tuning him round.-
Payne recovering himself commenced
advancing aud drawing pistol, and in
getting it out it hung in his pocket aud
he fired it in the ground; Goodloe's second
barrel missed fire. He then drew his re-
volver and commenced firing Oh PAYNE,
Goodloe had fired his revolver several
times, striking Payue ic the legs. Payne
drew second pistol and fired at Goodloe,
the ball striking him in the right side
passing through in range with the lower
portion of the heart. Goodloe continued
to fire the revolver, until five barrels were
discharged, and then threw the pistol at
Payne striking him in the face. and then
throwing his hand on his side he ex-
claimed that he was killed. Goodloe
died in about 20 minutes after receiving
the shot. Payne is shot very badly from
his head to his feet, bat believed to be all
flesh wounds and probably may recover.
An inquest was held over The body Of
Goodloe, ard verdict was given that
Goodloe was killed bv shot from Payne's
| pistol, aud that it was excusable homicide
on Payne's behalf.

T. BUTLER KINGS REPoRr FROM THE
MINEs-We have been permitted (says
the N. Y. Evening Pos;) to read all ex-
tract from a letter. addressed by an in
telligent gentleman now in California. to
correspondent in this city. the following
passages of which deserve to be generally
read 1t is dated Aug. 25, l649:
mot one that 1 have seen, varies in
his report from what have previously
related, that there is gold in abundance.
but only to be obtained by excessive
labor, in a temperature of one hundred
and ten degrees to one hundred and thirty
degrees Notwithstanding the universal
reports Of the miners themselves, you
will, however, receive by the mail an
official report from Senator King of Geor-
gia, in relation to the extent and value
of the mines, which. without perhaps
making single erroneous statement, will
go far to deceive the public, and to draw
thousands Oh to their ruin.
1t appears that Mr. King was sent out
10y the government for the purpose of
making survey of the mining district,
which he Inns just completed. and 1t Is
reported here that his statements will be,
that one hundred thousand men cannot
exhaust the gold in hundred years; that
it extends over eight hundred square
miles of territory; and that the richness
of the diggins will necessarily cause the
building up Of San francisco, a0ithn
foe years, to q population larger than
NeU York city.
This last opinion he expressed within
a day or two to gentleman who related
it to me. But in his report he will proi'a-
bly, carefully avoid saying anything Of the
immense toll and great sacrifice Of Life.
A gentleman who has read the report
about to be made. characterizes it as
superficial and wholly unworthy of the
subject and the country. The result,
however. will be that thousands will rush
out here; aud as large portion OF them
will not soon get means TO return, IL Will

The BOUNDARY LINE.-The following
information relative to the boundary line
between Mexico and the United States.
now in process of being marked out by
two commissioners, at the head of which
are Col. Weller and Gen. Garcia Conde,
we derive from letter published in the
N. Y. Journal Of Commerce, dated Mon
terey, September 2, 1S49.
The joint commission organized on the
9th of July and on the 18th, the astrono-
mical aud Surveying parties of the U. S.
Commissioners, were placed in the field
by Col Weller @hirteen miles south of
San Diego, where they had since been
actively engaged up to the time the
Panama touched there Oh the 10th
August A few days subsequently to the
18th July the Mexican surveyor and
corps also took the field.
The astronomical party of the Aneri-
can commission, at the head OF which is
Col. Emory, are engaged in determining
the latitude and longitude eof the initial
point on the Pacifc-a series of observa-
tions, 1 understand, being necessary TO
determine that. The treaty. it will be
recollected, stipulates that the line Oh the
Pacific shall commence at point three
marine leagues south Of the southernmost
extremity of the Bay of San Diego. The
surveying pafty, at the head of which is
Andrew D. Gray, Esq, had also been
attentively engaged i'll surveying the port
of San Diego, with the view to determine
its southernmost point.
Col w olIor b,c ,r;uan orJ,,rc thot on
the 9th 2eXt month, detachment from
both corps Of the American commission
shall proceed to the mouth of the ella,
the one to determine the precise point at
which the Gila empties into the Colorado,
referred to in the treaty. aud The other to
detern.ne the latitude and longitude.
understand, also, that a portion of the
Mexican commission will soon afterwards
proceed to the same destination.
The latitude and longitude Of the initial
point Oh the Pacific aud The mouth of the
Gila, having been ascertained and fixed,
the surveying party will proceed to mark
and monument the liue in a proper mau-
ner. The probable initial point OH the
Pacific, will be about Is miles south OF
the present town of San Diego. in latitude
80 80. Col. Weller has expressed the
belief, [ am informed, that he will be able
TO complete the survey as far as the
mouth of the Gila, (Say about 14O miles)
by the 1st December next.
On the line, about half way between
the initial point Oh the Pacific and the
Colorado, there as AN immense desert OF
some 80 miles in breadth, hitherto desti-
.ute of water. But within two months
past, ii is stated, stream of running
water has broken out not far from the
centre of the desert, which, when the
last eniyrants passed, was some twenty
yards wide aud ten feet deep.

for fear that he might die. and the affairs
