HAY VS.. GOLD.

The Ohio Farmer, in commenting upon the letter of
California correspondent, makes very sensible
marks about the mania which has the people Of
this country to forsake the golden fields of their own
State to dig in the "gold fields of California, where
they often gather disappointment than produce
The Farmer says
1t has been opinion that the ultimate pros

by any all the gold mines that have been may be
found therein. There be sort of doubt but that
the greatest of wealth which California possesses
is found in the rich valleys table lands and mountain
slopes graphically described by Fremont, and
ably noticed by Mr.. Kelley. When these
developed as they will be very oon the gold dggngs and

Look at it, II is said that the yield of gold from the Cali

of fftyfve sixty millions Of dollars An

Thank heaven, the "gold mania is in its decadence
