Late from tho Gold ReSIOns'-MOre Exteh'
sIve Discoveries.

We find the following late and iDpor-
rant intelligence from the gold regions,
in the New Orleans Times, Of the Both
ult:
Letters have been received in this city,
flom the capital ofMexico, containing la
ter advices from California than any
which have yet been published. One of
these letters, from an intelligent gentle
man, and who is we'll informed ON the
subject, states that further discoveries
have been made in the gold region, which
yield even more abundant supply ofthe
article than the previous "diggingS."
The quantity gathered already amounted
to ut least $4,000 daily, and was con
stantly increasing, without apparently an
exhaustion, or any limit to the supply.
There was great deal of distress among
all the diggers. for tho want Of the com
mon necc cssares of life, and attended
with very extensive sickness aud mortali.
". Men loaded with gold appear like
haggard vagabonds, clothed in filthy and
tallered garments of the meancst kind
It is stated that one man. who had t~O
barrels Of brandy, sold them out at the
mines, by The small wine.glass, at rates
which realized him fourteen thousand dOl
ays in gOid. Everything and particular
" articles Of food aud rament, were al
most unheard Of prices, for gold was ST
plenty, md in tho possession of every
one, that it seemed to have lost its value
Daily additions were made 10 the mum
Der employed in digging. though as YET
no portion Of the vast flood of emigration
from tho United States had arrived
Tho first arrivals Of provisions, and othcl
supplies, will no doubt realize largeI
profits than any previous Instance that eau
be found in the annals Of trade.

During these times of revolution, in the old
and new world, ii is wonderful that so many re-
ltlso to inform themselves of the events, which
arc transpiring around them Especially, in this
country, where every man is free and hus duty
to perform, is he extremely cupabie, it he neg
lecs 10 acquire information sufficient to perform
that duty. II is to this Government he owes all
that he has, all that he is, und all that he expects
to be, aud yet for the trihing sum of two dollars
he pleads poverty, and allows himselfnnd children
to grope their wny through u civilized, an enligd.
ened, and free community, in ignorance oleve.
ry political and social movement, which is taking
place around them.
Look at Ireland England France, Germany.
Austria Russia and Italy! Look at tho important
influence our own free aud independent country
is exerling throughout tho world. Every day we
hear Of another strike for Liberty and Equality
every day we SEQ another advance of Liberal prin-
cplos! Yet very large portion OF the citizens
of the Government which produces oil these
changes in tho social aud political world, sit idly
by and are, apparently unCuncerned whether Ire
land ubtlins her Freedom, or France maintains
her republican position. Are such men fit sub
jects OF a Republican Government Why all they
have they owe to their country; for were it no
for freedom aud law, Lords aud Earls would rol
them Of every dollar they had i'll their very igno
rance aud they would be none the wiser. 1t
ignorance of their rights, which has kept tn
masses down in Europei il our form of Govern
ment should ever degenerate, it will be throus
the ignorance of the masses. Its preservation d,
pends upon Common Schools aud Newspapers
their preservation depends upon willing heat
