THE CALIFORNIA SwINDLE.-Captan Whit
ney, who went out to California some fourteen
months ago, returned yesterday in the North
America. From him we learn that the gold
bluff humbug exploded Immediately on the de-
parture of the last previous steamer for Panama
While the excitement was up, it ragged with
perfect fury. Thousands came down from the
mines and from Sacramento and took passage
for the gold bluff The steamboats, were
crowded, and sail vessels chartered at enormous
prices to go to the new Dorado. And what
reader, do you suppose they found Why moth
ing but sand bank and few haf-starved In
dian fishermen! How and by whom was this
excitement got up? BY the editors of the
newspapers and owners Of steamboats, and for
the sole purpose of seducing poor men from the
mines, in order to get first their passage money,
then have them spend the balance of their hard
earnings in eating and drinking houses, so that
the proprietors might be able to pay the enorm-
Gus rents for which they had leased them. Ii
was like all the California news--a deliberate
scheme Of the owners of steamboats, and real
estate to swindle the poor and ignorant out of
their money, and it succeeded
Captain Whitney expresses the same opinion
that we have often expressed in the Day Book
that California is the greatest curse to this
country that could probably befal it. 1t has
been built up on misrepresentation and lies, and
will one day come back upon US like all curses,
to worry and vex us to death Not one in a
dozen, he says, can get money enough TO come
home with--and the laboring poor, of which
there are great numbers are worse off than onr
poor Irishmen here, and have no prospect of ever
being any better, unless their friends send them
money TO come home with. Notwithstanding
all this, cur newspapers. nearly every one OF
which is interested, our steamboat owners, our
shipping merchants, and our transportation line
runners, are using all their influence ~ sednce
more victims to their ruin, for the sole purpose
of getting passage money. We wish that we
could speak to every laborer In the land, and tell
him to bewarel to avoid California as he would
pestilencel Go not near it. Il is q poor,
barren, uncultivated God-stricken and God-for-
saken country--worse than Africa or Botany
Bay We call upon every country editor, and
every country paper, to raise their voices against
this diabolical scheme of gamblers and specula-
tors, and warn their readers against being ON
shared or humbugged by any more gold stories

CHRISTIAN LABoRs IN MEXco-With the
promptitude characteristic of their usual pro-
ceedings, the American Tract Society succeeded
the march of our armies in Mexico, by their
more peaceful and efficient forces. For two or
three years past they have supported several
Colporteurs there. Their success has been en-
couraging; doors of usefulness have been
opened to them, and many have been led to Sc
rious inquiries as to the truth Of their religion,
though this success has not been attained with
out great personal danger. A recent letter from
the superintendent Of Colportage at New Or
leans, to the society, gives the following illus
tration of the perils of doing good in that cour.
try:
zone Colporteur is still in Mexico lie has
travelled, in great peril, from Indians, robbers,
and false friends, but up to the last accounts he
was safe, except the loss of some property
On one tour, after passing several ranchos in
which from one to four men had been killed by
Indians, he stopped for the night. The Indians
came on the village in the night, and carried
away some women and children The pursuing
Mexicans found one child cast away dead, and
brought it back warm TO its mother On leav-
ing village to return again. he left his money
with member of the Episcopal church, fearing
he might be killed by the way. On returning,
he learned that his friend went out Of the vii
lage little way, and was shot His money was
in the hands of the probate, and he saw little
prospect of getting it again. As he WINS going
to another place, with two companions profess
sedly friendly, and travelling in company for
safety, he saw them hold short consultation,
and then separate; one rode on, and the other
fell back out of sight-a sure precursor Of in
tended evil. He could do NJ better than 90 on,
praying and trusting in God Left without a
guide, he lost his way, and fell unexpectedly on
a rancho, where he was kindly treated and safely
sheltered for the night The next evening, as
he drew near a village, he was fired at from the
bushes by the waysde. The ball passed harm
lessly by his head. The fobber appeared abashed
at missing him when so near, and made no at
tempt TO follow or fire at him again."

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated
Feb. Ia, in the Cologne Gazette, says.
"The last news from Egypt is of the highest
importance. The Sublime Porte has addressed
categorical demands to the Vceroy, which the
latter refuses to comply with. Instead of re-
ducing his army to 10000 men, as he was told,
he has ordered levy of 10000 land troops, and
$4,000 men fer the fleet He Is determined to
oppose any aggression Of the Porte by arms.
II is thought not unlikely that the Eastern ques-
ton will assume serious aspect"
letter from Trieste, of Feb. IL, gives some
additional particulars under date of Alexandra,
9th inst II says;
"The Sublime Porte has sent instructions to
the Egyptian government to make the following
reforms in the administration of the country l.

no idea Of giving up the removal Of the seat of
government from that place. Business at Sacra-

LyNcnINo IN THE MMEs-We learn from Mr..
Reed, a friend now in this city, from the mines,
that a most summary lynching affair came off at
Curtis diggings, few days since, which resulted
in the denth of man named Bowen, who had
killed another, without any provoeation. A party
Of miners were playing at poker in a trading tent.
Bowen commenced quarrelIing with one OF the
players, which was resented by another young
man who was standing by, and who struck Bowen
with his fist. b. drew pistol but was prevented
using it. Next day, as the deceased was walking
out, he met b., who asked him if he was going to
fight him, upon which the other replied that no
was not armed, and that he thought the whole af-
fair had been made up the night before. Bowen
drew revolver, and fired several times at the
other, the third shot striking him in the brain,
causing his death in few minutes. The friends
of the man who was shot, hearing what was going
on, rushed out of their houses, and seizing Bowen,
dragged him by main force 10 corral, where
they hung him with lariat, to meat gallows,
causing him to breathe his last almost sinful
taneously with the man he had shot
A most foul murder was perpe,rated near the
Roadhouse Inn, about seven miles from Stockton
Three men, it is stated, slept al the Inn on Tues
day night, two Of whom came together The
three left in the morning, and had been gone but
short time, when the one who seemed to be
travelling alone, came back covered with blood
and holding up pistol in his hand, having large
charge Of buck shotin his shoulders. He died In
few moments after reaching the house Suspi-
cion Immediately fixed upon the two men who
had aept at the house the night before, and
Mr., Roadhouss, the proprietor, promptly offered
