Another Retirement.

Tho Frankfort tKy.) Commonwealth says that all probability, as soon as the present great con- trOversy on the subject of slavery is settled, Mir. CLAY will retire from the Senate. Of course the whig part of the Nation will again go into mourn ing and tears for ths dreabful bereavement. and a thousand letters will be sent to the great statesman acknowledging the calamity, Sc, as before. This trick we cannot believe will take second time for every body who has noticed the course of MT CLAY, must tha, he is playing broad game for the Presidency. The retirement to the shades of "Private life, so much more in conso' nance with his wishes than the turmois|of pOli' tics, is aii gammom, and the people cannot be hum- bugged again by any such story.

 PUEBLO DE Los ASeELos, CAL,
 


 Dear BFotker:--We have made a start this morn- ing for the mines, and if no mssortues happens, we will reach The nearest mines in fifteen or twenty days, as there has been a new route opened, since we wrote before, which is about 300 miles nearer than to go up by San Francisco, and there is new mines being discovered every week. The reports of the gold about the same 1t was when Se left our homes. We have seen great many men from the mines, who come here 10 speed the winter, and all bring good news and plenty of gold, which gives US high hopes of making something.
 The trip Is no small matter, notwithstanding, all those who come through this route, got ID without suffering for something 10 eat, but some lost most all of their teams and wagons.
 Those that started from Independence, by the last of April and first Of May, and went what is called, the South Pass, got into the mines by the 18th of August and some of them made as much as they wanted and have gone home. Others that started later, were compelled nerseet the route 10 this place, thirty miles from th.s aceooat of the drought and the scarcity Of grass, and did not get in till late ia the winter. Some were frost titfsn and aiooi, and great many had to subsst upon the dead of animals that ded by the way, and it E sad that three persona pershed with hunger and tbuIst on the road.
