tains--some of them very rich, and some with
but little, of course. yesterday saw lumpo
solid gold, which was taken out the day before,
that weighs AZ OF. 3pwts., and the men were
averaging 10 OF. per day, and think there can
be no reasonable doubt but that there will be
more gold taken out this year than there has
been since these mines were first discovered
The country literally swarms with people in
search for gold, and the emigration still is pour
ing in upon US yet. By the reports from the
East the cry is ''and still they come"
shall gointo the mountains about the 18th
of this month with party of ten or twelve men
up the middle fork of the American river, and
into deep "canon" known at present to only
one individual, who will lead our party, and he
says it is very rich, and if man is satisfied with
enough, he will not need to dig more than one
year to get it. We shall see. The Indians are
somewhat troublesome in the mountains, bnt
dare not make an open attack upon the whites if
there are several in company, but creep upon
them while asleep, or when person is some
distance from his companions.
There have been several men so killed the
winter past and when they are, the Indians have
to suffer, for the whites kill every Indian they
can find. that shows any warlike disposition, that
they may come across but the Indians of this
country are cowardly and miserable race of
beings, and are easily subdued or driven back in

mericans.

every man has the dust and no credit asked or
given, and in many places shows the practical
working of the :" Cash and no collection law :"
system, for | suppose it is we'll known that in
this country there has been no law but what the
people made themselves by mutual agreement.
The country is being settled and improved be-
yond all parallel, and thriving towns are being
built in various parts Of it, and many are turning
their attention to Agriculture and stock raising,
which fora few years promises very well indeed.
There are now many farms in Sacramento Val
ley being improved where last year there was
not trace of civilization but now the young
crop looks fine, and unless it is dried to death
this summer, will yield we'll. Many of our cit
liens intend to become permanent residents of
this State, and are anxious that California should
be admitted into the Union at this session OF
Congress, which see is not, or had not been
done, up to our latest dates, (Feb. I'D but the
people here are still in hopes that it will yet be
done this Spring
