MODERATE VIEWS AND IMPROBABLE
CoNcLUs1oN.-The N. Y. Courier, in a
long article, points out the errors of the
North and the South on the subject of
slavery, and while it denounces Giddings
on one side, strongly reprobates the South
ern sectional movement on the other.
The editor anticipates a certain removal
of the Capitol west of the Ohio, and urges
an immediate preparation for it.

California.

The annexed letter from an intelligent
and reliable source, is published in the
New York Courier and Enquirer. The
journal remarks that it exemplfes the
hardships and %privations to which the
officers of the army are exposed, and
adds that all the circumstances of this
sudden discovery of hidden treasure seem
to authorize abundantIy some specific ap-
preparation by Congress over and above
their pay, for the faithful officers and
soldiers of the army who, resisting the
fascinarions of sure gain, have stood by
their colors at great personal inconve-
nince and pecuniary loss.
MONTEREY, California, Aug. 19, 1s4s.
The news of the ratification ofthe treaty
of peace reached here on the 9th of Au-
gust, and orders were immediately issued
for the discharge of the New York re-
giment of volunteers, leaving only about
$50 regulars to guard the immense a.
mount of ordnance and public stores
which have been deposited in the coun-
try, and also to keep quiet the disaffected
part ofthe Mexican population. n
The Americans in this country are ra-
ther a lawless set of men, disposed to in
fringe upon the rights and property of the
Californians, but so long as they can be
restrained within the limits of the law |
have no fear of difficulty. They, how
ever, are of such a restless character, that
there is nc telling what they may do.
As / have already written to you, Up
per California is a tolerably good grazing
country, but the want of rain renders it
unsuitable for grain; there are, however,
some small portions of the northern part
of the country where pretty good crops of
wheat and corn may be raised; and in the
south the grape is cultivated with success
by irrigation. The California wine is ex-
c%eIlent, resembling the light German
wines. A new gold mine was discovered
a few months ago neal the Sacramento
river, and Of the tributary streams, which
bids fair to be one of the richest in the
world; the earth is dug up with picks and
shovels, and the gold separated by wash
ing. The process is perfectly simple,
requiring no outlay of capital in machin-
cry. A common laborer can make from
$40 to $50 per day.

@Old gentlemen at the North must
have fine fun during the season when they
are made targets for all the juvenile nov
balIers. Major Noah, while viewing with
amusement the yictimizing of some other
citizens, became the recipient of one of
congelated masses which some urchin
very adroitly deposited in his mouth.
The Major thus good-naturedly relates
the story:
Artillery Practice.-The accuracy with
which our city urchins deliver their snow
pellets just between the brim of the hat
and the coat-collar, at any distance with
in p~istol-range, is much more worthy of
admiration when displayed at the expense
of another than ones self. We were
laughing very heartily, yesterday, at a
poor fellow who had just received a brace
o fthese missiles in the nape of his neck,
when our cachinatory orifce was sudden
ly plugged with a SNOWFALL which exact
~ fitted it, IA big one, of %course) and a
loud guffiaw arose from the bystanders, in
which, for an obvious reason, we found
it impossible to join. However, as there
is no corporation n against these
shots, we suppose the youngsters will fire
away while the ammunition lasts.

California.


What sane man, who ever thought of
seeking his fortunes in the golden FL Dora
do, but subsequently allowed his sober, Sec
ond thought to divert his course to our fair
Territory, now regrets bis choice. {" Haste
makes waste" is an axiom which in our
opinion never applied more forcibly to any
enterprise than to. that of going off in the
first whirwind of excitement to California.
With regard to personal privations andda
gers, we have abundant assurance that those
who have entered upon the untried scenes
through which they are now toling their
way, would, with scarcely an exception, give
any thing, except the REIMBURSEMENT of their
pride, to be back again amidst the rational
duties of home. Which ever way the adj
venturers take, they almost invariably write
back to their friends who ,viH go, "choose
some other route than this.' The lonely
adventurer around Cape Horn, who had
experienced nothing upon the seas, now
finds himself imprisoned for six months in
a foul atmosphere, making barely toler-
able subsistence upon fare that he Ioathes;
the emigrant by the lsthmus or Mexico, in
ours sickness, robbery and perhaps absolute
destitution; while he who attempts to cross
the plains, walks into the jaws. of famine,
or exposes himself to the deadly rigors Of a
winters scene upon the Rocky Mountains.
The more recent accounts from California
compute the profits of gold seeking as not
only extremely uncertain, but comparatively
insufficient when acquired. The average
products of diggers will not exceed ten dol
lars day, and two or three Of this is re-
quired for subsistence. Mining is impracti-
cable for more than six months at longest.
This leaves balance Of only four dollars a
day for the rest of the year, which bal
ance must be reduced by the expenses of the
other six months.

of the companies who proceeded by the

Another Declaration.

We perceive that the seven northern
states of the Sierre Madre of Mexico, have
declared their independence. OF course we
are always rejoiced to hear that this step
has been taken by any people suffering from
misrule, but we have little faith in anything
that emanates from any part of Mexico.
Their public documents are silly ebuliitions
Of rhodomontade. They play the braggart
with the tongue, and perform most Lilipu-
tian acts. This declaration is curious pa
per. The first clause is copied verbatim
from ours, and commences, 'sWhen in the
course of human events, &c." then fol-

their present situation, leach clause ending

w- We publish the following commune
cation by the request of the writer, whose
friendship we value. Our own opinion of
the matter referred TO below, is. that there
was no unwiIingness amongst our friends
down the prairie, that an Assemblyman
should be elected on the other side; and that
if il had been known what candidate Wau-
bcsha wished 10 unite upon, that candidate
would have received the vote at the Prairie.
There ought TO be no i'll feeling about it:
WAuBEsHA, Aug.s3 8, l849.
ED. PIoNEER. ALLOW the to explain the
result of the election at Waubesha, on Lake
Pepin, in the first CouncIDistrict. Thirty
three votes were polled. Hon. II. H. Sib-
ley received the unanimous vote for Dele
gate to Congress, and Mr.. James Fl. Wells
for Representative. About twenty eight OF
our votes were not polied, some Of them
not having received notice of the election.
Considering our strength we thought itrather
an upper-hand measure that the convention
at The Prairie precinct didzn allow us the
privilege of electing one of the three MEM
hers. II was moved in that convention that
the nomination of our Representative should
he left to US, but some one III a. naughty
speech, opposed tho motion, ON the ground
that we were all half-breeos and indiau ira
ders, whose interests and pursuits were diff,
ferent from those Of the white men on the
Prairie. The notice of that convention
never reached Us until the Dist day Of July,
which gave us too little time to attend had
we been disposed so to do.
Their ticket was filled in their own pre-
cnct, and the notice which was sent to us
was accompanied by one Of their tickets for
us 70 vote. The result, owing to a split in
their ticket, has elected James Wells from
this place, all that was asked. Had we
known in time the game that was playing,
we should have got all our forces together
and ran our own whole ticket with success
being as they only polled filty-one votes in
their precinct. Yours truly,

For the Pioaaer,

Mr.. PioNEER.--Are our people generally
aware that with little pains. rather
pleasure, they can take from the river right
before our houses, an abundance OF excel
lent fish? We believed in sleeps heads
and catfish, and entertained shadowy faith
IN pike and pickerel, but did not come to
realizing SENSE of either of the latter spe-
ces until the last week. We find that il
requires only some young frogs. for bait,
without any degree Of the patience pre-
scrihed ny Walton, TO take an abundance
OF the finest pike we ever saw. These fish
are from the size of {. inackeret to n medium
sized shad, and their quality we pronounce
most excellent. Why would not fishing he
an agreeable diversion from the tedium Of
whittling? The best time fer fishing is at:
ter sunset.

Lumber in Wisconsin.

! The Prairie du Chen Patriot gives de-
tailed statement of the numbering resources
of that State. The Wisconsin, Black, Chip
pewa and St. CroiX rivers are The outlets of
its lumber. On the Chippewa and its branch
es are eight mills, running ten saws. Twen-
~ miles from its mouth is the O'Ghnlly
river, on which is one mill with two saws
Thirty miles further is the Menomiuee, on
which there are two SAWS. Seventy e
miles from the mouth of the Chippewa is
the Au Clear river, on which are two saws
Ninety miles from the mouth are the Falls,
on which are four saws. On Yellow river
few miles above the Falls is one saw.
The amount of lumber annually manu-
featured on the Chippewa river alone is
100000 feet. The price of lumber per
thousand, in market in town, will average
$l1. This will make the gross earnings of
the mills, $l55, O00. To this add so per
cent. more for la,b, shingles, &C., say 81 800
making in all $lS7, 1000.
"The Chippewa is navigable for steamers
as far as the Falls, distance of ninety
miles, though as yet no steamer has entered
the river more than ten miles. For the past
three years no serious losses have occurred
from floods or otherwise, and the business
has yielded rich return" - SIT.
