To A CoRREsPoNDENT.-The Poem en-
titled "The destiny Of California" is receiv
ed. 1t appears, as you say, to have beer
written in haste and contains some imper
fections," but as our readers may wish t
see an extract, we give sample. The frs
verse reads:
Now on the vast Pacific shore
A land of gold is found;
So thousands from their homes do soar,
For they have heard the sound"
We give one more verse--the 7th:
"A State that thus has started on
In infaut years of life;
Is sure glorious name to won,
Without single strife"
We hope that the author
as sure a glorious name to ICON,
Without single strife"
