TAYLoR's POPULARITY AMONG THE PEo-
PLE.-The Advertiser of yesterday morn
ing insists that Taylor has not lost any of
his popularity among the people! lfthis
be so, they have curious way of showing
1t. Last fall he had friends enough to
give him the electoral vote of Connecticut.
Now the people of that State show thei
satisfaction by choosing a congressional
delegation nearly unanimous against him.
Gen. Taylor lost Virginia by only few
hundred votes. Now he has not friends
enough to elect a single member of Con-
gress out of fifteen. Six wings represent
ed the State in the last Congress.
In all elections which have taken place
since the presidential contest, the result
has been the same. At the toso,a elections
in this State the democrats have largely
increased their strength in the several
town boards. In this very county, the
democrats elected 81 out of 25 supervi-
sors.
fGen. Taylor is as popular as he was
last fall, we repeat, the people have a
queer way of showing it.-Detroa Free

The Gold News by The Crescent City.

The New Orleans pa pers of the lth,
instant, state that the steamer Crescent
City arrived there on the 10Th from Cha
gres, which place she left on the 4th.
The Crescent City, (by special order)
brings three mails, consisting OF fifteen
mail bags, some as far back as March last.
Capt. Forbes, of the steamship Calitor-
mia, came passenger on the Crescent City,
having left San Francisco on the lst of
May. He brings news TO the date of his
departure.
Capt. Forbes represents the Pacific as
a most delightful sea. The weather is
always fee from storms, and the water
calm and smooth as mirror. Slight
fogs occasionally impede navigation; but
they are seldom of long duration.
Among the vessels which had sailed
from Panama was an old ship called the
Humboldt. She had gone around origi-
nally as a coal vessel, and lay at Panama
5 months without employment. At last a
speculative individual purchased her for
$4,000, and fitted her up for passengers,
of whom she took 800 at $500 each.
The LUCKY owner arrived in the Crescent
City, with his 100000.
The Crescent City brings I26 passen-
gers. She also brings a most substantial
evidence of the richness of the gold regions,
in the shape of nearly 81 100000 in gold;
I8500,0O0 Of this are as freight, and the
balance is brought by the passengers.
We learn from Capt. Forbes that the
marvellous stories respecting the abun-
dance of gold. are not at all exaggerated.
but on the contrary, fall far short of the re-
ality. The limits of the region in which
the precious metal abounds are becoming
more extended every day by new discov-
cries. As low down the coast as Santa
Barbara, near the line of Lower California
gold has been found in large quantities.
Pieces of gold weighing 80 ounces are
not unfrequently seen in San Francisco,
while specimens weighing from two to four
ounces are common. The abundance of
gold and the facility with which it is ac-
cumulated, have very naturally produced
the effect of raising the price of labor i'm
mensely. So strong Is the attraction
towards the mines, that there are at San
Francisco upwards of fifty vessels, of diff
erent nations, deserted by their crews.
Although Sl00 per month is freely offered
for seamen, none can be engaged even at
that high rate. The u. S. sloop-of-
Warren arrived on the 30th OF April, and
within "a hours fifteen men deserted, and
took their way to the mines. 1t is almost
impossible to retain men on board the Coy
ernment ships.

Tariff Of lSi6--..AlOre Signs of Ruin.

Yesterday we copied two paragraph:
from the Lancaster lntelligencer, showing
that the wings of Pennsylvania were resol
we'd upon being ruined 0y building iacto
ries, in the very face and eyes of that mon
ster, the tariff OF 1916. We also perceive
b. the following paragraph, which we
copy from the New York Courier anS
Enquirer, that the people of the South ar
bent upon destroying themselves in tEt
same manner:
MACON MANUFACTURE CoMPANV.-
The Macon Journal says: 1--WE are graz
fed to announce that the citizens of Ya-
con have at last given substantial evidete
of the interest which they feel in thebs-
tablishment of manufactures. The bn-
tire amount of stock requisi for thlor-
ganization of the first company has ben
taken, and Mr.. Holcomb has been enjoy
ed to make the necessary surveys as
certain if water can be introduced int the
city, in a man er and at a cost whic' will
justify It's substitution in place Of ieam.
If iti is found that this cannot be donf then
steam power will be emplo, ed. he a.
mount already subscribed is $9D0O-
$75, 200 by citizens of Macon, an S22,-
600 by citizens of Crawford conty.-
From the feeling which had bee mani
tested, we are confident that ther would
be no difficulty in increasing the sbscriP-
tons to any desirable amount, event pres
ent. One company, however, jill soon
give rise to others. All the peoie want,
IS to have the matter fairly and tlly pre-
sented to them, and to with ess te practl-
cal benefits resulting from such Establish
ments. Indeed, it is whisperedhat some
OF our enterprising mechanics f already
moving for the organization another
company with capital of 5000. The
stock in the company about to bprganized
has all been taken by gentlerpn OF char
acter and of ample means. A she capital
was bv agreement to be hmite to SlO0,-
600, and as others are understtd to be de-
sirous of subscribing, it has len sugges-
/ ted that it would be desirable tchange the
limit to Sl5O,00O. This maiperhaps be
more readily assented to, asthe general
wish seems to be that the frs mill erected
should be of a very superiorlass, and as
/ capital of that amount coul be managed
4 with nearly the same eXptse as would
| be incurred in conducting establishment
costing only 100000.
In view of facts like the, is 1t not ap-
parent that Abbott Lawrer, and the cap
italists of Lowell, need adtional protec
tion? The new minister England ought
to be permitted to heecehe people-the
consumers OF his fabrics-at the rate OF
100000 per annum, lnsad OF s5OO,OOo.
If Congress do not alterhe tariff so as TO
enable him to double hiprofits, the dis
tinguished gentleman y be ruined to a
certainty. He will harry be able to en-
counter the expenses his mission 10

San Francisco is crowded with the I'M
migrants, such vast numbers OF whom are
continually pouring into the place Ac-
commodations of any kind are scarcely TO
be obtained The meanest hut or shed,
such as here would be considered unIn-
habitable, commands enormous rent
Good provisions are almost equally scarce.
The coarsest kind of food must be used,
as no other can be procured. No person
stays any longer at San Francisco than he
can help; but all who are lucky enough TO
procure transportation, Immediately take
their departure for the mining districts
When they arrive there, they iind no diff
Guilty IN accumulating almost any amount
OF the precious metal. Three or four oun-
ces of gold is considered a common day 5
work. Less than that induces the digger
to move 10 a richer spot. Much more Is
occasionally gained in a few hours, as the
possessors of the large Jumps may attest.
There was a great deal of conversation
in California respecting the establishment
of Provisional Government, but as yet
nothing had been done. The people are
anxiously awaiting news of the action OF
Congress upon the subject, not having
heard of the failure of that body 20 act up
on the subject. In the event of nothing
being done by Congress, it was generally
understood that when the miners should
return in the fall, State Government
would be established.
