CALIFORNIA GOLD.

In our last number we published the unusual
fact of return cargo of Atlantic produce, cm-
bracing some 1000 barrels of -four, from San
Francisco, as being there unsaleable, prices
having been at one time much higher hero
than there. The fact indicates clearly that
the production of gold will be largely increas-
cd, inasmuch as that it marks great rise in
the value of that article-a rise so great as 10
make it, for the first time, profitable to the dig
gers. This marks new era in the history OF
California. When her gold was discovered it
was difficult of sale. The diggers were required
to give large quantity for small proportion OF
the necessares of life. Tho man whose labor
Welded him one and a half to two ounces, 25a
$50 per day, got rich no faster than ne who
earned 81 in the Atlantic State. The ship

mado money, because they got the gold at so
cheap rate. This naturally had a two fold
influence: it discouraged the productions OF
gold, and promoted the supply of oil those
things i'm comparison of which ii was cheap
This supply has been afforded by increased
importations and local productions, until now
gold is the dearest relatively.
Tho decline in food, building materials, tools,
clothing, everything in short required by the
digger, has bccn marked, whilo improved means
of communications between the mines and the
cities have placed thcm within the reach of the
digger. IL We take four articles-say flour,

A WORD IN SEASON FROM TENNESSEE.

The staunch Wing and honorable politician,
William Cullom, of the fourth Congressional
District of Tennessee. mado speech in the
House of Representatives on Tuesday last, that
sounded like blast of the old Whig buglo to
the ears of politicians. The following is an
extract from it:
"The streams of legislation arc damned up
by this riefarous project-tho Nebraska-Kan-
sas bill-which he denounced as tho work of
politicians to stranglo the legislation of tho
country, for personal aggrandizement. He
believed in the face of God. that he would be
coward if he did not denounce it. He would
not be Tcnnessean If he did not cry out a.
gainst this nefarious plot against the peace
and quiet of the country. Yes. Nebraska and
Kansas is the hue and cry with which these
walls are made vocal. Amid the sound Of
these cant phrases, we are told those Terrific
ries must have governments given to them
forthwith; and the Compromise Of 1s20-the
work of our fathers, who pledged their honor
TO its support-must bo trodden under foot
Gentlemen might talk to him about bad faith
and outraged Southern honor, but no would
toll all sections this is uakcd question of re-
pudiation or no reputation"
On Mr.. Cullom resuming his scat COL Ben
ton and other members of the House crowded
around him and extondcd thcir congratulations
on the sentiments ho avowcd, and tho stand
he had takon."

How MEN "BUsr UP.'-Mcn with nnassu-
ming wives never fail. II is tho husbands of
such wives as Mrs. Dash and Lady Brillants,
who find themselves face to face with tho

dorned with red tape and wafer's big enough

feminine is to outshine her neighbors-not in

The man who dug gold in 1852 was required
to give nine and half ounces for those articles
which he gets now for three ounces; that is to
say. for % ounces of gold in 1852, he got one
barrel of flour, he now gets flee barrels for the
same quantity. If he made wages before, he
gets rich now for the same amount of labor;
and he now encounters less competition in tho
mines, because great numbers have left. to do
better in other pursuits Among se,agricul-
ture has been the most successful, and California
will this year raise all tho bread that she wants
herself. These results we indicated as in pro-
cess Of development, in our number for Nov.
9th, 1852.
II is to be remarked that tho circulation of
California is exclusively metalic and in pop
ulation or 100000 mon, tho quantity required
for each has been estimated at tho minimum
of $l00, say $50 In the first few years
this was retained in pouches, as dust, and sold
by weight on tho occasion of each purchase,
however small. Some persons then estimated
tho average quantity at $500, which among
so, 900 males, would givo Si0000,000. Coin
gradually flew in, and private mints and pub
lie assay Office supplied currency, and may
have reduced the quantity per head which
each man required; SO that, as the number in
creased, the aggregate may have been kept
good. In such state of affairs, it is obvious
that, when prices fall to one-half or ne.third,
great deal less gold IS required to be kept
for currency than when prices are high. From
this source supply of gold may bo apparent
ly kept up for export, when the quantity ac-
tually dug is less. As, however, on the de-
cline of all tho articles for which gold is ex-
changed takes place, through greater supplies,
its value enhanced. a great and direct stimulus
is given to the production of gold. According
ly, the recent arrivals from California bring us
the following account:
"All is now industry throughout the mines,
and almost every gnlch creek, or fiat yielding
its till now hidden wealth, rewarding the hardy
minor who plies his tom or rocker, or who has
placed his sluice to take advantage of somo To-
caty where this method Of mining will an
swer. Many arc dragging forth for washing,
from tho bowels of the hills, dirt hidden hun
dreds of feet below tho surface, which nothing
but expensive experiments have proved to con-
tain gold, and which now yields handsome
return to steady labor"
