It is not my purpose, however, at this
time. to point out the great commercial
advantages to he derived from II, nor to
spread before you facts demonstrative of
its practcability; for in truth, at this
time. but few question its feasibility, and
all here concede that in common with the
people of the Union, the citizens OF Cali
fornia must derive incalcuable benefits
from its construction | would therefore
recommend that you again press the sub
iect upon the attention of Congress in the
manner you may deem best calculated to
accomplish the object desired.
By reference to the compilation of the
census of the State, received from the
Secretary of State to be transmitted in
few days, you will perceive that in the
space of two years, our population has, not
unexpectedly, however, greatly lncreas-
ed. Your attention is particularly invited
TO an examination of the statistics which
this document contains; affording as they
do, the most valuable and interesting in
formation in relation to the wealth and
resources of the State. The progress we
have made, as exhibited by these returns,
in all the arts and pursuits which identify
a people with the permanent interests OF
their State, and affording assurances of
continued advancement, is matter of high
graduation and just pride. Rich in min
erals; prolific of other resources; possess
sessing population unequalled in enter
prize and fearless energy, and holding as
it were, the key to the mcalculabe COM
merce of the Eastern World, the most
dreaming visionary can scarcely paint too
extravagantly the picture of the future
greatness of our adopted State. Pru-
dence, wiodul,l, and vigilance, in the man
agement of her affairs, with the natural
advantages possessed, cannot fail to work
out destiny at once the wonder and ad-
miraton of the world, and more than
realize the hopes and expectations OF
those distinguished patriots and statesmen
who so efficiently Iabored to acquire it.'

COMM ATED. |

Mr.. EDIToR- Sir.~ Permit me through
the medium Of your paper to express my
views upon IA subject that must interest
every Miner in California. For some four
or five months past -four has rated at an
enormous price in San Francisco, not frol1
scarcity of the article, but from causes
every miner must deprecate who wi
take the most superficial view Of the
subject
a set Of men have entered into con-
spiracv and have hitherto bought up eve
rv pound of flour that has entered the
San Francisco market, and have so far
carried out their diabolical designs so as
to amass immense fortunes from the hard
earned earnings of the miners of Caifor-
MIA. At the head of this conspiracy it is
believed, stand Page, Bacon & Co., men
who have more of the miners money in
their possession than all the rest of the
Bankers i'm San Francisco put together
We now see how the trust has been
abused with the miners money and their
own overgrown capital, they have been
able to forestaf the flour market. till star
vation has actually overtaken tho miner
in his mountain home, and all this in the
midst of plenty.
The next subject is, what is to be done !?
these men consider themselves safe-bask-
ing in the sunshine of their immense
wealth, and care but little what the poor
miner can do or say. These men no
doubt, will say to themselves, we have
made our fortunes, what need we care
about the croakings and discontents of the
miners! But let them beware the laws
may not reach them, but stern justice ad-
ministered by an oppressed people may
teach them a 'sson that will prevent them
and others from practicing such unhal-
lowed speculations in future. Ii is Grim
nal by the laws of every civilized country.
-Four should not according to the range
Of prices throughout the world, to be
more than seven cents in Sacramento, and
"A good profit could be realized at this
price.
Now how are the miners to remedy the
evil9 Let them attempt it thus: Call
meetings, pass resolutions, have them
printed in the Sacramento papers, so that
they may come under the inspection OF
those Shylocks. If this won't do, then
there is but one remedy left; let the mi
ners in the several districts appoint fifty
men from each district, and go peaceably
but determinedly and take the flour from
out the store ships and distribute it freely
to the suffering and oppressed miners
throughout the country. Two or three
thousand men can soon be raised 70 put
down the unhalowed monopoly and drive
from the country the perpetrators Of ia
mine in the midst of plenty. MEEGAN.

Voice from Miners.
CHIPS FIAT, KANAKA CREEK,
Dec. 26, 1852.


At meeting of the starved-out miners,
held the Goth of December 1852, at Chips
Flat, amid 10 feet of snow, for the pur-
pose of protecting their claims during the
inclement season we are now experience
ing, it was unanimously
Resolved, That we do hereby deprecate
the whole system of business now carried
on by the merchants of San Francisco, in
the excessive monopoly of the article of
Flour, whereby the energies of the cOun-
try are Frustrated and paraysed, and the
miners have been driven from their homes
and dggins at IA season of the year when
it is as much as a mans life is worth to
attempt IA journey from the mountains, to-
procure the common neceSsares of life.
The life of the miner in the mountains,
is at all times one of hardship and priva-
ton, without being rendered ten times
worse, through the extortions of set of
hearless spectators, who are lining their
pockets with the hard earned toilings of
the pioneers of the mountainous region.
Owing to the excessive eXtortiOn in the
prices Of all articles of consumption, the
store keepers have been prevented from
laying in their stock of necessares, re.
quired in this season. The winter has
now set in with unusual severity, and we
are driven from our homes and diggins to
panpcr the extortionate appettes of these
heartless scoundrels, who are now fatten-
ing on their unhoIy gain.
And we do hereby publicly thus call
upon the miners throughout the length
and breadth of the land, to speak out
plainly on the subject, and to let these
land sharks know that there is a power
slumberlng,, which, if once aroused, will
express these opinions in language not
to be misunderstood.
1t was Resolued, unanimously, That
the above resolutions be printed in the
Nevada journal, with request that other
editors of newspapers will publish the
above article.
