Going 10 California.

An the world seems bent on a trip to
the Gold Region. If there were steamship
accommodation on the Panama and Nicara-
qua lines for taking Fifty Thousand pas
sengers through in the course of the next
two months, we believe it would all be ca
gerly taken up. An immense army will
this year cross the Plains and the Sierra
and, though many will perish or stop on the
way, we cannot estimate the emigrants
during 1852 to California at less than One
Hundred Thousand and, should means Of
transportation be provided and the news
from the Pacific continue cheering, it may
even exceed that number.
We believe in California, and always
did. Our judgment was early made up and
proclaimed that its product Of Gold would
exceed that of any other country known to
History. We believe it has in the main a
good Innate and an abundance of fruit
full soil, though it has probably more
that is rugged and impracticable. And we
do not doubt that, for those who go well
prepared and provided, there are as good
chances in California now as there ever
were. Yet the rage of the Fever at pres.
ent is rather appalling. What are all these
thousands to do in California Gold.wash-
ing must, in the nature of things, grow less
and less productive there will be rich
pockets and holes for years yet but
good deal of the ground has been gone over,
and fifty thousand diggers in 1852 can hardly
hope to average as much of the shining sand
as five thousand did in 1910. Many will do
well; but washing must naturally grow
less fruitful and more precarious. Quartz
Mining, or rock-crushing, seems to be gen.
orally doing very well but there will hardly
be one set of adequate machinery in the
Gold Region this summer TO every thou
sand gold-seekers. How are all the rest
to be employed!
We do not doubt the luck of q strong,
willing, two-handed man, who knows how
to chop, team, plOw, dig, blast, &C., and
can DO three or four of them ,ceH. A first
rate blacksmith, sawyer, carpenter or build
er, who can turn his hand readily to some
thing else where his own trade happens to
be glutsed, will be apt to get along. But
we hear of men setting out for California
who have never been able to hold their own
here, and who have very little rough and
ready capacity for manual labor. Nest Of
these, we appreheRd, viii rue the day they
left their Atlantic homes. Even dainty
women are trying to get across, with the
idea that there must be chances for them
to make fortunes on the Sacramento. So
there may be; but for any but the stoutest
