OF course an Of fheee change have had depres--
pr effect upon trade. For the past week all mercan-
tile bu,ne.s, ike the broken Bsnks, has been sus-
pended But California is live country, and every
thing moves rapidly one way or the other. Nearly
the whole Of January and February have been dry
weather, and the miners have been anxously looking
for the winter rains to wash out their dirt from the
piles Of earth which they have thrown up during the
DRY season Fortune has favored them, and the rains
have commenced. During the present month, have
no Doubt larger amount Of gold viii be taken out
than ha. ever been dug in any single month since the
gold discovery.
The Bank. here in this city, from variety OF ciuses
among which may be mentioned exuavagaat liv-
ing. employing fancy men who keep fast horses and
fancy women-msy burst up, and defraud many hard
working, honest people, and cause much suferiosi
but for the Banks in the up-country, IN the mountains
and valleys there is no such thing with them The
gold is there and welidircced industry will procure
it. Take the miners q whole they we're never dong
better than they are, nor was the state OF Caor
MIA ever In sounder more prosperous CONDITION.
We are now passing through crisis, bringing things
down to q proper level, where men OF Industry ana
economy can have a chance. Nothing but the stern
law Of necessity will force people out of tae exravs
CANT notions that have prevailed, and the sooner this
takes place the better win i, be for all. These reva

Quite On excitement has prevailed OF late an account
of new colo discoveries on Kern River, In the south
ern portion of the State. Tnis Is large district Of
country Wing south Of Stockton, and the point where
the miners are now at work is about go miles from
thar city, From all the accounts received, have no
doubt but there are valuable diggnss in section ex
tending hundred miles each way. II has long been
known there was gold in that REGION bat the want OF
water and the fear Of trouble with Indians have pre-
vented people from going there in any considerable
numbers until now.
After some fifty Intellectual bslotings for United
States Senator in plsce Of Doctor GSin, the Lessi-
ture hiss wisely concluded to waste no more time for
the pretent Tie question is considered disposed of
until next year
There has been large arrival of vessels during the
past week Although there has been great falling
off in shipments to this port there s no danger OF any
scarcity 10 goods of most kinds, which can be pur-
chesed at reasonable rates
One of the most gratifying changes that has taken
place in California is the improvements tina, have
been, and are being, made in agriculture. There is
DO longer any need of shipping breadstutfs from the
Atlantic TO the Pacific coast We have an abundance
of our oxn and to sfare Flour and grain are cheaper
here then in New York and we can now better afford

an intelligent, working, permanent population to make
il the most prosperous country in the world. The fol-
