The New York ''Sun' Of Thursday
contains the following:-
Several merchants in this city have re-
ceived letters from California, via Chagres
aud the British West Indies. probably by
the same conveyance which brought the
recent dispatches for government.
The tenor Of these advices is, that large
deposits of gold were discovered in the
hills. and that people from Oregon, Santa
Fe and Mexico. were pouring into the
country in thousands.
Such was the scarcity of coin that gold
dust had fallen at the mines TO SIX dollars
an ounce, being less then one third Of its
real value at the United States mint. The
whole amount gathered was about three
millions.
Capt. William G.. Marcy, a son Of the
l. S. Secretary Of War. was disposing of
every thing in the shape of supplies at his
camp. in exchange for gold dust. lie mad
collected fifteen barreis Of gold ore and
having no means Of protecting the trea-
sure, he had buried it until "a vessel OF
war should arrive on the coast, which was
daily expected.
Provisions and food of every kind were
very scarce. and daily growing dearer
Pork was 5000 per barrel. flour 500
bread sixty cents per pound beans $ 20
per bushel, brandy $50 per gallon, and
other things in proportion.
There was much suffering at the mines.
and even apprehensions of famine, in
consequence of the multitudes arriving
from all quarters. The Indians. being
able to endure more fatigue and poorer
fare than the whites, were gathering most
ofthe gold. Some parties had commenced
killing horses and mules for food.
The people were in hopes of getting a
speedy supply of food from Mexico. YES
sells at San Francisco, which had been
abandoned or neglected, were once more
in request to proceed along the coast for
food, the latter having become more val
liable than gold. Whale ships were selling
off their outfits at Monterey, at enormous
profits.
