arising from failures of this kind is the

climate is perfection. 1t is now the last
day Of the year and the morning will COM

1t is now FIVE or six weeks since the win

every other week it rains as if the win
dows Of heaven were wide open, then
comes the hot sunshine cooled by soft
breeze that spreads all the freshness and
beauty Of summer on every tree and hill
side. We live very comfortably and hap
ry. Our log house is in deep ravine at
the base Of the Sierra Nevada, about 900
miles from San Francisco. We laid in a
plentiful supply Of provisions at the com
mcncement Of the rainy season for the
Winter, paying 5000. for Pork. 500,
for Flour.

We are now squatted on a beautiful
bottom Of the Stanislaus river and have

ton is every way desirable, and no husi-

than $50 per bushel, and 800 to 600
bushels is but common crop 10 the acre.

A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, abiding TO the
delay that has thus far been caused in
filling up the Department Of the Int.
rlor, says that the matter is by no
means calculated to excite surprise.
In the first place, he argues, the la.
bors Of the post are very arduous; in
the second, the salary is by far too
small; in the third, the term may not
extend but little over two years; in
the fourth, it is not an easy thing for
a professional man, in the enjoyment
OF lucrative practice, to abandon his
post and his associations for life, with
the object Of visiting Washington, and
accepting even a Cabinet station I'm.
der such circumstance His con.
clusion, therefore, is, that President
Fillmore has been remarkably for,u.
nate. His Cabinet, as far as formed,
is one Of the ablest that has ever
adorned the National Councils, and
the indications are that the Departs
ment Of the Interior will soon be filled
