TIE FRAZER RIVER GcLD MnEs-In add.
ton to the news published in yesterdays
HERALD from the Frazer river gold mines we
publish to day more detailed and highly int
resting accounts from those regions. The RS
vulsion of feeling and the disappointment
among the miners appear to be almost a re-
markable as the excitement that ragged through
out California on the first news of the rich gold
diggings on Frazer and Thompson rivers
But it must be remembered that all these &C.
counts come from California, which is directly
interested in presenting Frazer river affairs in
their worst light. The water had been 70 high
that the bars could not be worked. and conse-
quently the miners remained idle. OF some
twenty-five thousand men who it is estimated
landed at Vancouver's Island on their way to
the mines, not more than five thousand HAYS
reached there. The rest were in Victoria.
Whstcom, and other towns; and all were sui
fering much from the scarcity and high cost OF
provisions. Numbers of those who were abs
to get away had returned TO California amt
reported the prospects Of those that remained
as anything but cheering. AL agree that the
diggings on the bars are extremely rich, though
limited in extent; but owing to the high state OF
the water they cannot be worked now. This
will be the case, too, for the longest portion OF
the year.
The news of this unfavorabie state of things
in New Caledonia appears to have given much
satisfaction in California, and the emigration
thence has almost entirely ceased. On the
other hand, however we have intelligence Of
important gold discoveries in Washington Ter
ritory.
In consequence of the apprehension of famine
among the miners on Frazer river 1t was
in contemplation by the Hudson's Bay Con
pany to remove the restrictions to the free
navigation Of that stream. Two American yes
sells had already had permission accorded to
them to ascend il, and it was expected that the
navigation would be declared free to all. That
step, however, had not been defnitively taken
at the last accounts.
So far as the statements published in Califsr
MIA can be relied upen, Frazer river is unani
mously denounced as q monstrous swindle
and the Hudson's Bay Company and other Ia
terested parties GENE in for q large share
contumely and denunciation. The wildness and
insanity which characterized the rush of emf
grants to those regions could hardly have had
a different result. The Frazer river excitement
has cooled down as suddenly, and, it may be, ~
unreasonably as it sprung up.

REVIVAL or BUsNEss.-The state of our ad
vertisement columns, and the large increase of
our circulation, are evidences of a satisfactory
revival Of business Other evidences are not
absent. The streets begin TO be crowded the
principal hotels are full such Of the theatres
as are open are well patronized; and everything
else betokcps resumption Of trade. We are
told that the arrivals at our hotels are more
numerous now than they were last year at this
time, which was before the panic. Is IL the die
covery Of the Frazer river gold mines or the
successful laying Of the Atlantic cable that has
worked this beneficial change or is II that
things have been gradually getting into their
ugrD.i coalition

of this paper grave and melancholy article

tration-what will the South do2" We think
we may venture to answer that they will &C
quiesce in the necessity and expediency of adj
hitting Kansas as free State, with the next
constitution which may be offered. Our
Charleston contemporary would do well to sub
init 20 this result as among the inevitable things

u.ent in tho moral condition of the Offending
Classes Il the well known projection, when they
are in danger, which they are afforded By poiiti-
cal friends. Most of these wretches who are
daily and nightly dragged to the police stations
are regular voters, and are numerous enough
to change the complexion of the wards of which
they are the terror. Some of these, familiar with
the criminal box. are found in the possession of
good fat Offices, both under the State and ma
tional governments, and use their influence and
money, in turn, to shield their poorer friends
As long 80 this condition of things exists we
cannot expect much ameliorstion in the habits
or principles Of those who are so prone to do
evil. and find it does not pay to do well.
We must expect, then, this superadded in
ducement to criminality will continue to aid in
swelling our criminal calendars. In large city
we always find constant temptations to intoxi-
cation. RIGHTEOUSNESS, and numerous causes for
disagreements, Quarrels and disorderly conduct;
many opportunities for theft, commercial frauds
forgeries and peJuries; for gambling, burgla.
ries and embezzlenents. These are the usual
vices Of dense population. The only funda-
mental remedy is the spread of sound educa
ton, since all experience and indisputable re-
cords show that well instructed people are not
in the habit Of committing the crimes which
stain the public character; and when they do,
they are the exception, and net the rule.
Society is not growing worse, though the ap-
palling array Of crime would make us think so.
In the city we see more conspicuously its con-
centrstion and the consequences of precari.
GUS, crowded and unnatural condition of life.
