HOmeWard Bound!

One OF the Boston papers, the name of
which we do not remember feelingly re-
marks, that it is ga sad tale that nO1O comes
TO us from the golden plainsof the Pacific.
The first flush of enthusiasm over, we
have the dread wall of suffering and dis
tress. The young men of New England
who, year or two since, rushed impetu-
ously to the California mart and mines,
now are returning in swarms to linger out,
alas! too frequently, feeble existence or
meet speedy death. Note the contrasts
of this Californian excitement. The stea-
mers Crescent City and Pacific, lately ar
rived, found on the isthmus about one
thousand steerage passengers waiting for
a chance to get home. Three hundred
and fifty were taken on board one, and
five hundred on board the other, steamers
Of very moderate size. On the Pacific
they were absolutely packed in bulk, and
for nearly one day before reaching Hava-
ma, were without provisions and water!
Of the Crescent City's passengers num-
Der are sick at New York of Chagres fe-
yer; others, worn out with their hardships
In California, are not only sick, but abso-
lutely penniless, and will have to depend
upon the charity of strangers for means
to reach their various homes. One or
two reached this city on Saturday morn
ing, having received free passage by the
Stonington route One young man who
arrived was unable to walk, had scarcely
"a decent suit of clothing, and not a cent
in his pocket. He had not the least idea
as to how he should get food or chance
to reach home. OF all the Crescent City S
passengers, perhaps not more than twenty
or thirty have gained anything by their
California trip, while hundreds of others
have not only lost their all, but are also
ruined in constitution. A sad narrative
will be the true history of the American
Eldorado.

kins, Ned, and my yself) while others don't
make their boarding. There are thousands
coming over the plains this summer who
will think never get here, and If they
do they will never get back again.
have often said at home that there was
plenty of room in California tor man to
dig, but was mistaken. There is one
miner for every ten feet of digging, and in
one month more there will be thousands
without place in which to earn their
boarding. Men come to this country to
make their fortunes in one season, that Is
three or four months. Well it has been
done by probably one man out of thou
sand. Generally, when. they come to the
city, some merchant gets hold of them and
tells them to go to Yuba for instance
Well off they GO to make their pile as they
call it, where they find out who this man
is-he owns store at Yuba. This is the
way that miners are often taken in. Al
the fat and rich letters you get at home
are written by California spectators.

Hon. James Campbell.

Considerable interest is being enlisted
in the selection of Judges of the Supreme
Court, and this feeling has been strength,
ened by several attacks which have been
made by the whig press upon the promi-
nent democratic candidates. The Phila-
delphia Daily Ne,os is violent in its
attacks upon JUDGE CAMPBELL of that
city. This course on the part of the whig
press is unjust and uncalled for, and can
neither do themselves any good, nor can
it injure the prospects of those seeking
nomination from the democratic party
JUDGE CAMPBELL has occupied seat
upon the bench for ten or twelve wears,
and sustains a character that is irreproach-
able. He occupies a high rank in the
estimation of all legal gentlemen, and as
Philadelphia is entitled to one of the
Judges, we know of no man in tha: quar-
ter whose nomination would be hailed
with more cordiality throug hout the State.

WAGES IN IRELAND.

We copy the following from the Lon
don Times:
AT the petty sessions, lately held at
Kanturk, Ireland, an IRISH farmer, Green
by name, was summoned by one of his
laborers for the sum of one shilling and
sixpence, which, we might suppose, rep
resented days work. Itappeared, how
ever, that it was claimed for three week S
work, done at the rate of one penny per
deim during harvest time-for eighteen
days, eighteen pence. There was no
dispute about the fact of the labor having
been performed, the farmers reluctance
being grounded on the exorbitant charac-
ter of the demand. Mr.. Green declared
that he should never have thought of en-
gaging a stravelling like the complainant
Walsh at that money, when he could get
the best men in the country for as little.
He could bring witness to prove that the
