imperturbable gravity as though nothing strange
had taken place. Nor is it strange, for am told
this is quite a common circumstance.

Since the beginning of rain. the FIRST OF which

health of the city by stopping drainage, shall be
happily disappointed.
AS a perfect natural consequence OF the great
rush into the country, great numbers have been
disappointed in getting paid for their labor, and
many of those who would gladly return to their
families and friends are unable TO do so Tor lack oil
means at home they could do well, but finding 1t
impossible to succeed here as they expected, they
have become discouraged. Unless some way 10
provided for the return OF such persons to their
homes a great amount of sufering-perhsps OF
crime will result. i am certain that many young
man. and many with families, would embrace any
honorable method OF returning were a passage
provided, and be an honor TO society and help to
those who need their assistance, who will be obg-
ed to remain here and by the indurating effects OF
misfortune and evil influences be reduced to con-
ditlon worse than beggary. Added TO these there
are great many who are suffering from sickness,
with no friendly hand near to administer comfort
their condition is ptiabe indeed but they are too
proud TO let friends know their situation TO such,
a kind word from home with the profler Of assis-
lance il needed, would fall like the voice of de-
livering angel upon their Responding spirits.
The general belief here is that Fremont has
ruined bis chances for reelection by the intro
duction of some of his bills into Congress, which
are regarded here with almost general disfavor.--
That proposing general tax on all Miners in
particular
have seen and read The Tribune of Oct.l4. It
will not create surprise that there many even in
California who express astonishment that such
bill as the Fugitive Slave act could ever have
been enacted by the Congress of Democratic
Republic. 1t is considered here believe hor-
rible outrage on all law, decency and humanity,
and for this reason must be null and void and
wholly imperative in any community not reduced
to a state OF savageism. Fremont and Gwin,
will gain no support for having recorded their votes
in its favor. / would thousand times rather be

bill or who betrayed their constituents and liberty
