Your committee are Of the opinion thai

hends tract of country entirely too ex-
tensive for one State, and that there are
various other forcible reasons why thai

Convention. The area Of the tract oil

Your committee are Of opinion that a
country like this, extending along The
coast nearly thousand miles. and more
than twelve hundred miles into the int.
rior. cannot be conveniently or fairly rep.
resented in Stale Legislature here. espe.
cially as the greater part Of the interior Is

Your commune are also Of the opinion
that the country included within the boun

likely to dives, the State Of California O
valuable portion of her sea coast. You
comm ttee ale therefore OF the opinior
that boundary should now be fixed up
on which will entirely preclude the pos

Another important reason, which has
aided very much in producing the conclu
sion TO uhich your committee have arriv
ed. is predlcaed upon The fact that there
is already vasl settlement in a remote
portion Of this territory, the population Of
which is variously estimated to be from
fifteen to thirty thousand human souls,

religious peculiarly Of these people, and
the very fact Of their having selected thai

clnsion that they desire no direct political

Monterey, Oct. Isl. gives The following
particular account Of Col. Freemonl's gold
mine.
By far the most magnificent discovery
is that recently made npon The rancho Of
Col. Fremont, on the Miraposas river.
Ii is nothing les than a vein Of gold in
the sohd rock-a bona fije mine, The frs.
which has been found in California.
Whether il was FIRST detected by party
of Sonomans or by The company which
Col. =. organized last spring, and which
has since been working in the same locali-

The credit is due to the latter. Al any

gia. Some stones picked up on the top
Of the quar,z strata without particular Sc.
lection, yielded two ounces Of gold 10 eve
rs 25 pounds. Col. Fremont informed
me that The vein had been traced for more
than mile.
The thickness OF The surface is two feet
gradually widening as il descends. and
showing larger particles Of gold. The Gin
downwar,ls is only about % deg. so thai
the mine can be worked with liulc ex.
pense. These are the particulars iirsl
given me, when The discovery was an.
nounced. Sliil more astonishing facts
have just come light.
A geologisi, sent out 10 examine the
place, arrived here last night. He reports
having traced the vein distance of two
leagues, with an average breadth Of l5C
feet. Al one extremity Of the mine he
found large quantities Of native silver
which he calculates will fully pay the OK

working it. The rancho upon which il
is situated was purchased by Col. Ere.
