GAMBLING IN CALFoRx1A.-The N. Y. Com
mercal Advertiser publishes a letter from a
young man in California to his mother in that
city, which shows to what extent the PERM
cious vice of gambling is practised in the land
Of gold. The letter is dated San Francisco,
December %, and says:
Apparently there is but one business in the
town and that is gambling. One young man
recently laid q thousand dollars on q roulette
table, and at one turn of the wheel won twenty
seven thousand. 1t wal his first and last night
on shore. He went ha k home by the steamer.
Two hundred thousand dollars were seen upon
a card last night.
There are Fifty gaming houses for the place,
splendid buildings, with some forty tables, each
for different games. Each table has upon it
piles Of Spanish dollars, and upon these eagles
and half eagles, and surrounding these bars Of
gold about the size Of ones little finger, with
their value, 49 81, stamped upon them. These
tables vary in their amount Of money, from ten
thousand to FIVE hundred thousand dollars.
London, Paris, New Orleans, have sent here
their most skilful gamblers, aud the gold on
their tables is really enough to give = man sore
eyes.

SUPPORT Your COUNTY PAPER.-The fol-.
lowing remarks from a speech of the Hon.
L. Robinson, a member of Congress, contains
facts which every country Printer can feel the
force of:
"Sometimes / hear it said that the price
is too much for country paper; that one can
be had from a distance Cincinnati or the
Atlantic cities) much cheaper. Well, it is very
true that you can get papers cheaper; and it Is
equally true that if you are determined to bring
city or eastern papers into competition as to
size and price with your county paper, the idea
of continuing country papers had as we'll at
once be bandoned- Our country papers cannot
compete with them in this respect, and they do
not pretend to do it. If you want country
papers, if you think they are Of any consequence
to you as the organ of your party at home, or
for their local intelligence and news, you must
expect to pay a little for the consideration. l
should think it an awkward and clumsy busl-
ness, for a party to enter a political contest
without a paper to aid them to organize, through
which to call public, meetings, conventions,
&c, to publish proceedings, to defend oandi-
dates, publish their names and print their tickets
in short to conduct a canvass.
imagine we would fight under disadvanta-
ges and against odds, that would then be felt
and appreciated" o.

thriving village Of Trinity, in Louisiana, at the
junction of the rivers Tensas, Black and Ouch
ita, thirty miles distant from Natchez, That
awful scourge, the Asiatic cholera, descended
upon the population with a fatality almost UNI
heard Of. Ten OF twelve physicians resident
there, or called in from the country, were
scarcely able to save a patient who had been
taken sick. Flight was the only safety for the
well, and death only reigned in Trinity. Mr.:
Snyder, formerly a resident of tNatchez., kept
a boarding house, there were twenty-five Or 80
boarders, all Of whom who did not run away
died. Mr.. Snyder stayed and took care ofthem
until the last one died, then descended to the
mouth Of Red river, and we are sorry to add
that he too died on the staemer Cincinnati going
to Natchez. o o
