FROM CALIFORNIA.

FROM CALlFOhNIA.
We have been kindly permitted TO pe-
ruse letter from young Carolinian now
in lhe land Of "dusl" 10 relative in this
place.
As so many different and conflicting
statements have been given as 10 The
prospects of emigrants. and the general
advantages Of that country. We give The
following extracts as indicating the opin.
ion of one who has "scen The land" aud
whose intelligence and means of insorma-
ton have been such as TO add TO The value
of his testimony. The letter is daed
SAN Francisco, Sept. 22sI, '49.
IL have not procured place yet. and
have determined uot TO 60 10 The Mines,
as great many persons have advised me
moi to do so. A person might be lucky
and find Gold in large quantities, but then
he is very likely to be sick. and it will
take all he can make 10 get well; and
three fourths Of the digsers now scarcely
pay expenses.
IL really think The edinrs in The States
ought to be punished for the accounts tha.
have been published about This country. |
would he very well satisfied to find myself
al home in The same situation as when |
left. but as am here shall gel through
the hest way can.
"Some Of The young men with whom
came, returned here yesterday from the
Mines, and have given certainly very
discouraging account of things in thal part
of the country. They intend soon TO 20
across the Bay and cut ou, Lumber. which
is much more profitable than Gold dig
gng; and it is very likely | will accompa.
ny them, unless. in the mean time, OBJ
tain better situation.
II am certainly very much disappoint-
ed in this country, and have not met q
single person who is not so; and you need
not be aslonished TO hear frnm me at New
Orleans ncxl Spring, as shall not remain
here long if can do nothing better than
jus, support myself.
SOUTHERN RIeHrs.-Our neishbor Of
the Iniclligcncer. speaking Of the recent
defect of The democrats in The Stale Of
New Yolk, says.
"The attempt 10 secure the "leaves and
fishes" of Office, by sacrifice Of South
ern Rights. has resulted in The overthrow
Gf the vile conspirators.
Now. il is notorious that The undivided
sentiment of the ,0hig party in New York
is in favor Of free soil. while there is div
sion among The democrats on the same
suhjecl,-ane party being like the wings,
in favor of free soil, and the other party
being positively opposed to ii. WDa hene-
fit, then can accrue 10 "Southern Rights"
by the defeat of The democrats
That the ehing may he seen in its proper
light, we clip The following significant
paragraph from The New York Tribune
Of the 9Th inst. The Tribune is known 10
be the champion of The whis party in the
State of New York, AMI It's editor has
heen houored with seat in Congress.
Onlhe morning Of The election. he attempts
10 rally his uhig forces and, for that pur.
pose. makes The following declaration:
To-day places New York on The side
Of the true and constant champions Of free
soil. or consigns her To he false preten.
ders who have barered their principles for
half mass Of potlage. New Mexico will
probably lie free or slave, as New York
shall now determine. Stand by The cause
of freedom to-day 7"
So. according 10 the Tribune, If the
Wings succeeded, The decision would
"probably" be enterded up that Ne,o York
shall not be a Stare Territory or STATE!
'.Whar brilliant victory in favor Of
"Soulhern Rights" and how fortunate
for The South that these "vils conspira-
tors' have been defeated
