One OF the firm, Mr. BARTLETT will reside
permanently in San Francisco, and will give
his uhOls aHention to the selection, purchase

The advantages Of permanent residence
in San Francisco, in purchasing goods, must
be obvious to all.
Having had about fifteen years experience
in the Eastern States and San francisco, and
Two years residence in a mining region,
thereby becoming familiar with the wants of
the mining trade, and not being interested in
the sale of goods, We feel justified in offering
our services to the merchants in the interior,
and hope by CAREFUL, ps oMPr, aud FAITHFUL
attention to orders, to merit and receive lib

10 which citizens had perfect confidence, has
tended 10 incrodsc ihe system Of hoarding and
buryidg In the earth, treasure which formerly
went into the vaults Of the banks and formed
the basis on which the business Of the country
was transacted. The effect Of this loss Of fconf-
dence is also shown in the large amount Of gold
dust which is carried Upon tho persons Of mi
ners returning to the East The writer says
"An instance occurred few months since
on one ~ the steamers, where man became
sick, nigh unto death when Captain Cropper,
Of the steamer, suspected that the dying man
ives loaded down with treasure; instituted an
examination, and found that the man had near
ly ten thousand dollars In belt round his per-
son that it had absolutely worn through tho
skin, and had made a running sore around his
entire body and yet this poor dying man was
afraid 70 make known the cause of his sickness:
thut he had money concealed roand his person,
and which was dragging him down to DEATH
In this case, believe the man recovered, after
the Captain had secured his treasure in the iron
chest Of the steamer but 70 hundreds, doubt
less, this has been the cause of long continued
sickness ani ultimate death. There is no ques-
lion but that California is rtch. and that the
working class, as a body, control that wealth.

at war With the know-nothing obligation against
