California Profit and Loss.

The Hartford Courant publishes letter from the
Secretary ofone of the compan les which left tina
city for California, that gives little insight into the
profit and loss of leaving home in pursuit of gold.
The Hartford Unjn Mining and Trading Co.,
sailed from Hartford in February, lS49 and arrived
IN California in September. 1t consisted of l20 per-
sons, of whom two stopped in Rio Janeiro. At the
end of u months from their arrival twelve had died,
twenty-six had returned home with 1873, 600, an
average of + ESQ each, and seventy seven remain
ed IN California, with $94,5 500, an average of 81
2S9 per man. The highest sum possess, by any
young man was SIS, 900. while nineteen had nothing
at all. Allowing s. 900 each for three of whom no
information obtained, the general average for
the whole company was 81 JIG each. The men,
beTs were engaged for most part of the time as fol-
lows: clerk on steamboat, /; pilot, L; steamboat
hand, l; coasting, l; farmers, 5; truckmen, 3:
driving of teams to mines, 5; carpenters, 8; mer-
chants, 3; packer, l; timer, keeping restaurants
4-3l; remainder mining.
The Fremont Mining Co., consisting of SIS men,
bers, arrived in California about the time. AT
the end Of year seven had died, eighteen had re-
turned home with $f22 900, and fifty remained with
$3S, 400-being general average Of $40 EACH
The highest sum gained by any one member was
$4,000, while nineteen made nothing beyond their
current expenses
Taking the experience of these two companies as
guide, 1t does not leave very favorable impress
sion of the profits and advantages of going to Cali
fornia. In the first place, of POI persons who reach
ed the gold regions nineteen within fraction of
one tenth of the whole number, died within a year
"a mortality significant enough to show that the pc
cuniary risk is far from being the sole contingency
assumed by the adventurer. In the second, "a
matter of dollars and cents, the business scarcely
pays for the abandonment OF the comforts and enjoy
ment of life in the Atlantic States and the labors
and hardshlps consequent upon building up ''new
home'' in the wilderness.
The average earnings of the two companies were
1916 each man. Deduct from this the cost of pas
sage and outfit, say $3.50 each, and less than six
hundred dollars is left as a compensation for egh-
teen months time-twelve of which were spent in
labor of the most tosome description, and six in a
tedious sea voyage. A little more than dollar a
day, IN our view at least, is rather poor pay for such
labor as this.-.N Y. Commercial .9dqeItiSer.

THE WEBSTER BRIBE.-The Courier of Monday,
in abiding the refusal Of the House appoint
mitee of investigation into the charges made in that
body by the representative from this District says,
&c Mr. Aliens reputation for veray ranks at about its
just value in Congress- We are much of the Couri-
ers mind, for had the wings in Congress not have
k7aoUn that Judge Allen guilty of any duplic
ty, and that he could PROVE the truth of the charges
which he made against Mr.. Webster, they would have
demanded investigation.
We notice that the Hunker press, in Boston, with
held the telegraphc communication on Monday, which
was sent to it on Sunday, embracing Mr. OILS state
ments in regard to the fifty thousand dollars which
were given to Webster by the Brokers, Spectators
and Cotton Lords of New York and Boston as an in
dueemeut for him take the Office ofSecretary of State
Perhaps they think by this keep the truth from
the eyes Of the people, but they will find that by such
proceeding they have taken the effective measures
to exhibit their want ofprincipe, by attempting tc
hide the vilainy of who occupies the high office
Secretary of the State, stands before the world al
this time branded with the unrefued accusation Of hav

SAGACITY OF THE HoG.-The hog is a stub
born and seli-willed animal and some call him stu
pld; but he is no fool after all Goblet says hogs
can tell when storm is coming, and even which
way the wind is going to blow. This he proved by
referring to a sow with litter of pigs, which he
had on his place when he lived on Long Island,
many years ago. lie says that he used to watch
her motions at night before she retired with her pig
llngs to rest. One evening, about sunset, he per.
ceiyed her making observations, and turning her
snout this way and that, if to ascertain what was
coming. She then took up her quarters on the
Southeasterly side of barn or pen where she usu:
ally quartered, but soon she came out again, and
after making sundry other observations in her way,
and smelling the lcind this way and that she went
In, and routing her brood, carried them round to the
other side and laid down for the night. Next day
there a storm and the wind blew from the
Southeast, and would have drenched madam Sus
and her children had they staid where they first
pitched their tent We have noticed hogs that ran
out In field in which there was shelter for them
during, the summer, to lie down in the open air if
the weather was fair and was to continue So bur on
approach Of storm, even before it could be discov
cred by men, they would take to the shelter at
night.
