Much has been said about the f" dignity of la

that they will ever respect industry. Therefore
we look to the public for patronage. We must

ourselves upon the charity of the people for a
support. We choose to labor for tive delight
in such labor.
Some of us have chosen the profession of X.

will deny that it is laborous calling. One thai,
subjects us to vast deal OF annoyance; and
with its irregular hours and constant waiclings.
is calculated TO shorten life. But we shrink not
from the toll. We start not back from the anx-
ions wa:chings. We are willing laborers and
wish not TO live upon the charity of the people.
Certain they would not have us come to want.
To them then we look for patronage, that we
may obtain an honest living by the sweat of our

the day of publication.
Verify there is nothing like competition to

A few days more and trust, in company with
some fifteen or twenty old California 40 friends
who have for the greater part of the last three
years been together wanderers this section
of Oregon and California to start by way of the
Plains for our long wished for homes on the At
lantic shores. Two parties leave here, one
about the 1st, and the other the goth June, join
ing the Yreka trains. Should you wish it
would take pleasure in forwarding yon a few
notes by the way" if anything of interest &C.

ney is now a twice told tale, and should myself
be sorry to be compelled to wade through the

not but believe you would have much of the same
feeling. Yet the scissors may improve and Gull
something from the mass of the worthless and
to that you shall be welcome.
From Allhouse have received note from an
old friend and miner and one of your brother
from 500 to $500 and fraction over in addi-
ton to those mentioned in my last. Miners are
| about getting into the bed of toe stream. The
banks, where freed from water, are paying re-
markably WELL
A copious rain during the last week has kept
the miners at work in gulches near town.
| and night and day behold the golden treasures
bountifully spread forth in reward of labor
Both forks of our stream have now barred their
beds to the gold seekers and they are reaping a
rich harvest. On the left hand fork "old man
Rogers" as he is commonly called, took out
with four hands, week since, $500, and his
claim continues to pay. Others near him are
also proftng by steady work and will be well
rewarded for their patience and perseverance
through winter and spring. 1t would be per-
haps unpleasant to themselves to give names.

MosQulToEs.-Ihe Mosquitoes are said to be
along the Sacramento River this year than
ever known before. About Colusa especially
they represented as being possessed OF
longer, sharper and more penetrating bils-and
more importunate in presenting the same-han
any good hammered mosquitoes ought % be al
lowed in civilized country. The Union says !:
During the day people are compelled to wear
gloves and bars over their hats and bonnets to
keep them from marking their hands and faces
At night large fires are built around the town to
protect the citizens from the ferocious attacks
of these bill presenters." And we understand
that the young ladies and gentlemen have
taken great fancy to the following passage
from some unknown poet, humming it all the
day long:
The minstrel of the moonlight,
The darn-ed mosquito,
Now sings his month of music
In our mansions, high low.
And what tho he siings sharply,
As the night comes slowly on
Well hunt him round chamber,
And he may get dropped upon.

siderably thronged with California emigants;
