The correspondent oil the Pittsburgh
Gazette is administering some comfor,
TO the impatient aspirations OF its i'm
Fortunate friends. 1t assures them tha,
"the work of relribution and relorma.
lion is going on rapidly; that a consid-
cradle numUer OF removal s and appoint
ments have been made today, (he 4th.)
and it is well understood that more are
preparing; that Mr.. Warren. the new
head Of the appointing bureau in the
Post Office Department, is doing his
work thoroughly, expeditiously, and
neatly; that the number ufnew appoint
menls during the present month will,
of course. be much larger than during
the last, because now Mr.. Warren has
his hands in. and is in The way-to ascer-
tain more speedily than at first" And
this cool -blooded prescription is going

never be the President Of party; that

Further Intelligence from California

We give below an extract from bu.
sness letter received by n respectable
house of this city, engaged in the north,
west trade, from It's correspondent al
San Francisco. Though some of the
statements seem almost incredible, we
vouch for their authenticity, having
seen The original letter.
| SAN FRANcIsco, Feb. 7, l849.
You ask me to give you facts as they
are. You shall have plain statement
of matters as they exist. At present
there is little or nothing doing in The
place in consequence Of the immense
quantity of snow that has fallen this
year.
There are at present two thousand
persons at the mines. Some are living
in tents, and others in log houses. =
Many have perished from exposure to
cold, fevers, &c., but such is the excite
ment and rage for gold tina, they under
g. the most unheardoi hardships with
the hope OF passing the winter on the
spot SO as 10 avail themselves of the
first opening of spring, which is looked
forward to with great hopes.
Asregards the richness Of The mines,
| can only say ,ha, the most exagsera-
ted accounts may be believed. A few
days ago a gentleman came down from
the mines bringing with him $4,000 in
gold dust, which he dug out in the space
Of six davs. This is a fact that you
may rely upon. have it from persons
eye.wilnesses, whose veracity cannot
be doubted. r ......
myself saw piece this morniug
weighing seven pounds, the most Curl
Gus specimen that has yet made its np-
pearunce. The extraordinary richness
of this placer, or placeis, for there are
many, surpasses anything that the
world has ever seen. | can hardly re.
alize il myself.
There has been upwards of FIVE mill
ions of dollars OF geld exported from
San Francisco alone, exclusive Of that
taken by the traders who have gone TO
Oregon and the United States, who
have all carried from ten to twenty
thousand dollars.
All who 60 TO the mines do well,
which is the most convincing proof !
can give you of its great richness.

These four improvements increased
the State debt nearly one third of its
present amount. The Miami Exten,
sion Canal, for the three past years, all
of which time it has been under whig
rule, has paid by its net revenue, but a
traction over one and quarter per
cent. on the cost of construction.
The Muskingum improvement, al
though the last year it was controlled
by democrats, yielded revenue to the
State of $I3,9l3 81. yet the first year
it passed under whig supervision, failed
to pay its expenses by over $1,000
the second year by near $4,000 O-the
third year by over $4,000, while during
the last year it sunk the State more
than $4,000 over and above all the
revenue eceivej-making, during the
four years past, Of whig rule, dead
loss TO the State, over and above all
the revenue collected, of Sl02,204 81.
During the same time, and under the
same management, the Hooking Canal
has cost, over and above all the tolls,
fines, and water-rents received, over
$4,000. On the Walhonding Canal.
during the same period. the expenses
have exceeded the receipts in the sum
Of S4,744 O3. ;G.
The table from which we gather
these facts, was furnished to Mr.. Den
nison and published with his report, by
the Board of Public Works, and is GER
titled by their Secretary 10 be correct.
Being an official document, and from
whig source, that party will not dare
to dispute its correctness.

of which we found town occupying

sides of the question, we would like to know
whether the editor repudiates the course Of Mr..

! The last Belmont Chronicle says 80 For ou,slf
we neither repudiate nor denounce Mr.. Penning-
tons course in the Legislature" This declara-
tion was made by the Chronicle because we said
Iitrepudiated the course of Mr.. Pennington on tho
Convention bill. One thing is certain. Mr.. PEN
nngton voted against the proposition 10 every
stage and shape the Chronicle, on the other hand,
10 in favor Of new Constitution. "Call you this
backing your fnends?" 'e tta.i +st'tt"s
The Chronicle is pleased to assign as a'reason
for being in favor Of new constitution, that the
ruling majority in the late legislature was corrupt.
This charge is made because the ruling MAORI
~" did not see proper to give the wbig minority
Of this State all the officers that were elected last
winter by the legislature. 1t is a fact we'll known,
that the wings are in minority in this State yet
they have one United States Senator, two Su-
preme Judges, majority Of .he Board Of Public
Works, the Auditor, Treasurer and Secretary Of
State. the Attorney General, a majority Of tho
President Judges, large majority of Associate
Judges, together with whole host Of Collectors
and other officers along the lines OF our public
works. Notwithstanding all this, they fippantly
charge corruption because the ajority in the late
legislature elected officers representing the wishes
of majority of the people of the State. But such
10 whiggery.
Our reasons for favorng new constitution are
numerous; some OF which we have heretofore
given to our readers. We last fall addressed the
people Of this caunty at several places, and then
took occasion to express a decided opinion in, fa-
vor OF new constitution, and we know that that
opinion met the appreciation Of the people. a.,
Another strong reason why we are in favor Of
a new constitution, (and we shall nearly adopt the
language of the Chronicle to express it,) is ths:
" That the ruling majority in the legislature" Of
the winter before last, was :" more corrupt than
the most corrupt body that euer assembled on
earth" They have themselves furnished, by
all odds the strongest reason for calling conven-
tion." by their unconstitutional and corrupt ap-
purtionment Of the State. 1t is true, it is not
likely that such mass Of putrd corruption wip
ever get there again" TO consummate such another
outrage upon the elective franchise and the con-
stitutonal rights ot the people yet the bare
possibility that such might be the case, has aroused
thousands who would otherwise have cared no.

grace the State in that manner They therefors
