TnE FRAZER GoLD MINEs.-A San Fran
cisco correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune says:
Frazer river is larger than the Sacra-
mento, and the mines commence at a hun
dred miles from its mouth whereas the
Sacramento, 500 miles from the sea- has
no gold on its immediate banks As the
valley OF the Frazer river is as largo as
that Of the sacramento, the inference j.
that the numerous quartz or dry diggings,
which supplied the gold on the bars in
the former stream, must be either nearer
the centre Of the valley, or immensely
more rich than those of the great artery Of
California.
The miners now on Fra zer's river arc
making from ;hree to six dollars day on
an average, working with rockars and
this is as much as to say, that with sluicc.
and when the water is low so that the
richest part Of the bars can be reached, the
wages Of experienced miners will not be
less than thirty or forty dollars. As it is
now, working with instruments which arc
discarded almost entirely by California
miners, the men on Frazer river some
times make fifty dollars a day; and some
have even made as much rs one hundred
and ii ty and two hundred.
The Indians are numerous in Frazer
valley, and they are warlike race, and
well provided with muskets and skillful
in their use but up to the present time
they have been friendly, though they steal
every thing they can lay their hands on.
The mines as said, commence at the
bars OfFrazcr river, and extend up abou
one hundred and fifty miles to the BIZ
Falls, along which whole extent there arc
! small parties of white miners. most o.
! whom are Americans. There are ais
many Indians engaged in mining, but the,
use nothing but sticks to loosen the dirt
and nothing but pans and little woodeI
/ troughs for washing it and yet with thesr
rude contriyances they have dug thirt
. thousand dollars or more, and it has lounG
. its way to the Golfers Of the Hudson's Ba,
/ Company, who have by law, the exclusiy.
privilege )f trading with the red men in
I New Caledonia. Most of the Frazer gold
. dust has been Sent to England, but SOM.

CONDITION OF MExIco-The public
will agree with us that, there are no peo-
pie on the globe about whose action there
is SO little certainty, and about whose fu-
ture there is no earthly doubt Mexico
has enjoyed the dignity of national gov
ernment for a goodly number of years,
but it has been changed, even in its or
ganic features, we had almost said, by
each recurring change of the moon. The
people continue to demonstrate the great
est extent of folly to which nation can
attain. The present indications are, that
the Government which succeeds Comon-
fort, whose tenures have never really been
fixed, is about to give way to another. 1t
is not possible, under the circumstances,
to feel any great interest in people who
do so little for themselves, and present
always spectacle of anarchy. They are
guided by neither example nor principle
With abundant natural resources, a fine
climate, a rich soil, boundless mineral
wealth, sea coasts and harbors on both
oceans, they present themselves to the
world spectacle of weakness and vascil-
lation without any parallel in history
