LATER FROM OREGON.

We have received files Of the Western San

additional items:
BUsINEss II SACRAMENTO CITY.-As the sea
son advances business Of all kinds improves. Our
streets, at the present time, are more thronged
with wagons and pack mules loading for the mines,
than we have seen at any previous period for
months past, and many Of our merchants begin
20 speak confidently Of the aattering prospects o.
the approaching business season. The opinion is
very general at the present time, that the business
OF California promises much better ia the future,
than it has for months past. Persons are now sat.
isfed 10 prosecute some legitimate trade, rather
than to trust 20 some lucky speculation for a for
tune. Within the last few months the change
has been quite marked in this respect. Gam.
bling, lotteries, and other occupations, which are
uncertain, are not received as favorsbly as here
tofore There are, indeed, bat few persons a. the
present tin who will risk their money where the
retura is not quite certain.
This feeling not only extends to gambling, lot
teries, &c. but TO all branches Of business. The
person who lends his money on interest, mus.
low have the best security IL is no longer the
case, that mems words are implicitly relied upon
in such matters. Our citizens are in truth, fast
becoming 6 matter Of fact people. Even the
miners are not as ready as heretofore, 10 leave fair
mining locations for a " Gold Lake or Gold
