DEAa CAPTAIN: Let none si your friends who think of coming this way, put any trust in the Cali fOfnia news paper aecoants of tho mines the infsr ences 10 be drawn from what shey contain in rsls- tios ,hsrsis mus, lead te far too sHtrsveEant sz- pectIliOns; expectations that only one In thoas- and ever realize The newspapers generally state fnets--but there is . vast difference between that and the truth. They tell enly of ihe large Jumps that have beea discovered, but are mute as to the lhoussnds Of miners who are barely making iiv- ing, and who would instantly return 10 the States fl they had or could get inc means.
 The mines, this winter, will be crowded to ovsr- flowing, and what the consequences will be. il is im. possible to fOrssee--sOme predict great suffering, bat do not 70 SO far. l think they all make . living ai least, provided they will work hard enough.
 have seen none of the overland cmigrants Of this year, from State, except brother of Gabs Hogan. He looks Iolerably well for man who has just inishsd such iourney-mueh better than some others have seea. From what he and they ssy. shoud think that some of them will never be repaid for the hasdships and privA,iOns they sn dured, even if they should all make fortunes. The Isthmus route, with through ticket. is the one for sensible men to come by. Gen. Tsyior's death. created great sensation throughout this country, and much anxiety is ex- pressed to know what course Mir. Fillmore and his new cabinet will pursue in relation to the.sdmis- sion of California. It should. by all means, be ad mtted this session-not that think there is the least danger of this becoming desperate and inds- pendent Republic, but for ihe sake of bringing matters ont Of the chaotic confusion into which they have fallen. and of ahording protection to life and security io property, which the laws passed by the Legislature of this State uOmigalIy do; bu, which, In reality, held in derision and contempt by the great msss of ninsrs Their excuse is that the taxes are too high; and. that the acts of the Legislature were usurPtion, because not suthori- zsd by Congress. How this is to become seperate Republic with the present population u it, the great mass of which is from the United States and here, only temporarily. cannot understsnd--it is non- sense to talk about such thing at this time.

 Above, Captain, you have Californa curiosity. They verbatim copies of two documents in the hands of Mexican, and shown few days ago by him to gentleman of my acquaintance. who was so much struck with the effrOuiery of the transac ton thai he took copy of them. Don Garoto is Mexican digging on the Maripota river. near which place e-or on the road leading thereto-this [" board of drivers" hold their meeting, and levy black mail upon the ignorant and spirlIess Mexi. can. In this transaction, it appears that they first demanded of the Mexican, his license to work in the mines; finding they had them, and therefore no excuse to tax them for working ia she mnes as foreigners; they then, as the second paper shows. imposed 6 road tax upon his mules.
 There is more dishonesty in this country, than exists probably, in any other part of the world The weak spots of meu's characters are fully sx- hibited here.
