We have received copy of the Placer Times
from which we CLEAN the following items OF Cal
fornia news;
The Placer Times published at Sacramento
says that one tenth of the population had died of
Cholera:
Gold Bluffs.
The Alta California was the first journal to
set afoat the ''Gold Bluff" humbug, and it hangs
to it, much as if it intended to force il down the
threats of its readers, right or wrong. Day after
day,it gives long essay, with most convincing
TO induce persons to engage in the
speculation and it even goes SO far as TO Give
us a perfect TRADE of abuse for our interference
in what it deems its peculiar province. But TO
this we pay bnt little attention, our comments
being much the same as if that journal had not
noticed US. But we should like to know why ii
is, that the Alta is so sensitive upon this subject?
Why is it that il SCENE so DESTROYS that the peo-
pie of California should believe there are mill
ions Of dollars worth of gold dust at the place
named II cannot be that the conductors of that
paper have such kindly feeling towards our
citizens, that thew fear we may lose what might
be obtained by few days delay
The Alta takes at least singular course and
one which cannot be explained satisfactorily for
it wonld not seem to be the part of wisdom to
urge miners by the thousands to emigrate to the
klamath at tho present season of the year, and
with but partial supplies.
If it be true, as represented by the Alta, and
large quantities of gold should be found, what
would the community lose by delay of two
weeks? Surely nothing. But upon the other
side, suppose the editors of that paper should be
deceived, and that this excitement should turn
out, as we believe it will, specializing "hum-
bug" what will be the condition of those poor
miners who have gone there with little mon
ey?
We care not what may be the standing of the
meE in San Francisco, who were engaged in this
stock-sellng, golden speculation. We have a
duty to perform to the citizens of Sacramento,
and we intend to do it, notwithstanding what the
Alta California may say. When we see what
we deem to be an attempt to dupe our citizens,
and the honest miners of California we shall
point out the dangers.
To such as are abundantly able to go to the
Gold Bluffs" we say go, if they see proper !;
bnt to those who have but little money and whom
failure would ruin, we say stay away until you
learn something more tangible in relation to the
matter. Do not spend your last dollar at pres
ent to pay for passage to "Gold Bluffs for
you may find it not so pleasant to be left upon
a bleak coast without the means of support
There is time enough to 90 after you have heard
more definitely if one half that's said be true

China Trade.
We publish in another column, a notice of q
sale of teas which will take place Tomorrow at
San Francisco by Messrs Starr, Minturn q Co.
We notice this sale particularly, as it fortells
what is soon to be common occurrence i'll our
markets, to-wit: The sale of entire cargoes of
merchandise direct from China, and other Asiat-
ic ports This is a sale of teas advertised which
was delivered in ,hirty-four days from Shanghai,
and this too without the aid of steam power
What may we not expect when steamers run
direct, and stated intervals When railroads
shall have been constructed across the lsthmes,
and regular line of steamers shall have been
thoroughly established to every part of the COM
mercial world; is it too much to expect that our
merchants will control the great bulk of the
trade of Asia The time occupied in the COM
modities from the different parts of China to
Liverpool and London, by way of California,
will not exceed fifty or sixty days. With such
state of things in prospective, who can for
moment doubt the brilliant destiny which awaits
ms Who can not in looking forward, see our
wharves crowded with merchandise, busy and
thriving population firmly established upon the
borders of the Pacific.
This must be- and that very soon, or our cit
liens will have lost the distinctive qualities which
have contributed so much towards building up
the commerce of the United States.
LINE OF STEAMERS TO THE SANDWICH Is
LANDs.-lt may not be generally known that a
plan is now being matured for running line of
steamers TO the Sandwich Islands, from San
Francisco. An agent we are told, has gone to the
Islands for the purpose of making arrangements
concerning the establishment of post office, and
carrying the mail. 1.-THE agents should lie sue
cessful of which there seems to be bnt little
doubt, the line will soon go into operation.
The vessels intended TO form this line, we are
told, are close at hand The General Warren is
already in California, and the Commodore Prebe
w$ recently heard from at Panama on her way
from the States.
This line when in operation, will be but the
beginning OF vast systensof steam communca-
tipn, which will centre at San Francisco, and
sdetch away in every direction rom that great
cdptre of commerce for the Pacific.
We are told that miners are fast returning to
Nevada City, after having lost so much of their
winters work in trying other locations where
water eould not be had to carry on the mining
operations.
The Alth California of the 23d inst says -
Some two or three failures have taken place this
week, and h one case the parties are said to
have abscorSded, leaving the victimised to settle
up their affairs and divide the proceeds.
Quite number of persons left this city yeste-
day and the day before for Scott River and vicin-
ity Mining in that region, is represented as
having been very profitable by those who spent
the last season in mining operations on the head
waters of the klamath.
City Scrip we hear is now worth from 60 to
70 cents on the dollar.
A democratic friend who has just returned
from San Jose, confidently expresses the opin-
ion that t. Butler King will be elected to the of
fee of United States Senator, in place of Col.
Fremont
Large numbers of miners, we are told, are now
at work in the vicinity of Coloma. The absence
of water in the ravines about IIangtown, has
driven hundreds to the river, who have heretofore
been engaged in dry dggings.-Ptacer Times,
