LATE FROM THE GOLD REG1oNs-MoRE
EXTENSIVE D1scovERlEs.-Wc find the
following late and important intelligence
from the gold regions, in the New Or
leans Times, Of the 50th ult.:
Letters have been received in this city
from the capital Of Mexico, containing la
ter advices from California than anv that
have yet been published. One Of these
letters, from an intelligent gentleman and
who is well informed on the subject, states
that further discoveries have been made
in the gold region, which yield even O
more abundant supply Of the article than
the previous "diggings.'' The quantity
gathered already amounted to at least
100000 daily, and was constantly in
creasing, without apparently an exhaus-
ton, or any limit to the supply. There
was great deal Of distress among all the
diggers, for the want Of the common nc
cessares Of life, and attended with very
extensive sickness and mortality. Men
loaded with gold appear ike haggard vag-
abonds, clothed in filthy and tattered gar
ments Of the meanest kind. 1t is stated
that one man, who had TWO BARRELS of
brandy. sold them out at the mines, >bv
the small wine-g lass, at rates which re-
allied him FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
in gold. Everything: and particularly
articles Of food and raiment, we're at most
unheard of prices, for gold was so plenty
and in the possession Of every one, that
it seemed to have lost its value.
Daily additions were made to the num-
Der employed IN digging, though as yet
no portion Of the vast flood Of emigration
from the United States had arrived.
The first nrriualo Of plvv isiuns, and
other supplies, will no doubt realize lar
ger profits than any previous instance
that can be found in the annals oftrade.
CLIMATE OF CAL1FoRN1A.--Dan Mar
bic, who has peculiarly unknown even
to newspaper editors Of getting hold of
the latest news, has the very last that is
possible to get from the new Ell Dorado,
and which Of course tends still further to
enhance the attractions of that wonder
full region.
Marble was in Boston the other day
and stroIling along the warves, when he
met tall, guant looking figure, whose
sun-burnt countenance, and lattered par
ty.colored garments originally Of the
most out-Iand;sh fashion, had that pictur-
esqueness about them, derived from long
continued exposure to the atmosphere,
which fancy sketchers delight to present
on canvass.
Dan, who never permits the lack OF an
intol duction to interfere when he desires
to form an acquaintance, hailed the stran-
ger-"Hallo! my friend, where are you
from?"
'Jes' from Calcrforny, Stranger
'Ah indeed! and you can tell US then
whether it's all true about that gozdY
somewhat anxiousty interroga,ed Dan in
reply:

Iy does live.'
Chen why did you come back?'
'Back?-why to get my family. Fact
