The Pacific News, speaking Of affairs in Cali
fornia, says. "The rainy season set in early. he
fore quantity Of provisions sufficient for the
support Of the miners had been introduced into The
Gold Region. The consequence was that a manic
spread through the mining district and the miners
locked IN crowds to the cities, where they are now
spending the winter. But fortunately, the rain
ceased for time-the roads became passable.-and
quantities Of provisions were rapidly Transported
from Sacramento City throughout the northern
mines, and from Stockton throughout the southern
Trade was brisk for while-many Of the miners
thought Of returning and wintering in the div
diggings, but the rains set in once more with re-
doubled violence, and have continued at short in
tervals, up to the present time. The consequence
IS that trade is dull and receive but little intel
hgence from the Gold Region. From all that w.
can learn, however, the miners are doing very
good business IN the dry diggings."

these letters have been lost from the public or from

them, at least, will never reach their port of des

Mountains TO the Andes, il has always been con.

communication would be effected, either bv canal
