 SrocroS. CALIFORNIA, Jan. 27, Is5o.
 Dear Brst1ss; IL dsvolvss upon me to write to you particularly my private opinion of yoar coming to this country. am yet ., less what to say, for, even here, different men have different notions about it; some are willing to bring their families othets are not. As to money, Il is beyond doubt that any person who will werk csn obtsin gold at any Of the different digglngs These are iSng distance apart
 have been at the Woods diggings, ths James town. and several others. and am told that 8s per day is fair ayerageiu the winter, when the ground is full of water. 1 know it will be much better in the summer. Should you and T. bring your families here my plan would be to establish rancho spon one of the tributaries. The Stanislaa would suit my tssle, beautiful stream filled with salmon; when we arrived in the spring ihe shoals were GOV cred with them. Its clear water direct from the snowy mountains, grsveIy bed with high banks yboye overflow, and the best kind of farming land, are great inducements for moving to aad locating in new country. Besides, it is the passing point to inc main digzings. and tavern here would make more money than any two men could at the dig gings The scurvy is raging among the diggers. and vegetables woald be a great attraction. At present the only accommodations are tents placed along the road; &2 per meal is the price of board. with the privilege of sleeping upon the floor on your own blanket Tho ferriage across these rixers Is g per head for mules.
 have place ia view for good ferry and farm, hat would snii you, but the haTdships your family would necessarily b. subjected ta, in coming here and living in tents till honses built mus, b. taken into consideration. Female society, too, is very scarce. Should you all come. bring but htile plum der, and only what you will actually need on the route across The IstnnHs, and get tickets iroE New York, clear through.
 Nv osn health is first rate. intend opening a store at some of the mines this summer. CnI. Joy NER and boy are we'll and doiug first rate. ELIJAH RoBsSs looks poorly this evening" all the other boys within my knowietlg. are well, Give my best wishes to all my old friends.

 We have been politely furnished by JARED c. MARTIN, Esq. with letter received by him from the Rev. W. w. STxvESsoN, from which we make the following extracts. h is dated
 PuEBLo DE LOS ASGELos,
 CALIFORNIA, Sth January, 1850.
 We have been in California two months, a nd Ro- bert and myself are boarding in a Spanish family among whom the Spanish language is only spoken. This place is some 510 miles below San Francisco, the coast. which reached after travel of g mouths, completely tired ant Oar mules wero as much worn out as ourselves. The range is very fine, and the valleys look as fresh and green as May m AFka ina ..i, be seen, covered with snow some 90 or 45 miles of presenting beautiful picture when the ssn shines brightly upon the tops The land Is well adapted to every kind of pla [, and wheat is produced in great abundance. Corn, cabbage turnps and beeis grow well: in a word, every kind O. vegetable that be rais sd can be grown here at all s.asons of the year. The cattle are of a superior kind. and inc horses also very good. Sh-ep and goats are plenty and afford superior food, but hogs 10 the iu habitants are rejected as food. Noson of Abraham was ever more free from the sin of eating swing flesh than are the CaiorniaHs aud even M.xicans here
 The agriculture of the country is most miserable these beings about 300 years behind the times in erything rraiing 10 it here is not ore ia fifty read word or know anything of the geo. graphy of their own country. The United States are only known as the place from which los Americanos' come. Nj in five gsod hauds and tine necessary implements. five years would br sufficient Ia which 10 realize u fortune. Many who own loo COWS to not make an ounce of butter. sltbongh it is worth Sl per Ih Irish potatoes S3 for 9 lbs. wheat, from 10 sig for 2i0 lbs.
 The people are mixed race, and not one in a hundred is white Some Of the young girls are toerably fair, but the are as dark as Indians But their moral character Is worse than their com plrxion.
 Say 10 those who wish to come here, that the road from Fort Washta or San Astouio, Texas is far better thaa that by which cine. Advise them, also, not Ia take large wagons (soHething ike the c ock wagon is the ihing) snd not over 6J1 lbs weight in it. lexpect that small parties emgratimg next summer will suffer much from the Apietes and none should start in smaller company than 21 wagons, aSd then be provided. il poss,be. with an escort w.
