THE CAI,IBOO MINES.

An increasing interest is manifested in regard
to these mines, which are here considered de.
cidedly the richest yet discovered in any part Of
the world The mines Of California and Aus.
tralia, in their best days, thrown entirely in
the shade by those of Carboo. We have yet
from these mines empty.handcd or disappointed
The following, from the British ColOniSt Of the
25th inst, contains the latest intelligence from
the new gold field:-
If anybody here had entertained doubts as to
the truth Of the stories told concerning the enor.
nous yield Of the mines of our sister Colony
during the season just past, such doubts would
have been entirely dissipated had he stood on
the Hudson Bay Company's wharf last evening
and saw the otter come in with seventy pasSen'
gers from Cariboo, and heard them narTate theiI
glowing tales Of the mineral wealth Of the Far
North, or saw the packs Of precious metal which
several Of their number lugged up to the Express
Office.
The total amount Of dust brought down last
evening will reach $25O,OO0! The Abbott com.
pany, Of whom so much has been published in
the CotoniS, came by this arrival. They are
three in number, and have. it is said, $4,000.
The dust was carried in canvas bags on the
backs Of the fortunate posscssors from the
steamer to Wells, Fargo & Co.'S, where it was
placed in the care Of the agent. The company
were followed from tho wharf to the Express
Office by large and curious crowd Of citizens,
who feasted their eyes upon the bags, and even
after the "piles" had been securely hidden from
view and locked within the large safe, many re.
maned gazing wistfuly at the receptacle, or stood
gaping at the novel sight Of men who had made
their fortunes in six weeks. Few Of those who
were on the wharf last evening but mentally or
otherwise resolved to try their luck at Cariboo
next spring. The Abbott com 1any retain their
interest in the claim, and have large fortune
before them II is thought in return for their next
summers work.
Several miners with from 5000 to $4,000
also arrived last evening. The utmost conf.
dence is expressed and felt in the diggings.
Major Downie was one Of the passengers from
Cariboo. Mining there has ceased for this year.

The prospect ahead is very encouraging for
our agricultural friends, as the next year pro-
misses to be one Of unusual activity in all busi.
ness enterprises. II the farmer will but read
the future Alright, he will not fail 10 take advan.
tage Of every opportunity to be prepared to re-
aliZe his share Of the golden results Of an en-
larged and profitable traffic. 70 be ready to OBJ.
tain, if not command, the legitimate benefits en-
suing from an increased activity in commercial
operations, he should have an abundance Of
crops Of all kinds; to be able to furnish supply
adequate to the magnitude Of the anticipated de-
mand. Oregon should be able to answer, during
the next year, all the increasing wants Of the
augmenting mining population that will crowd
her eastern and northern borders in another sea-
son. Especially in breadstufIs and provisions
she can readily do so, IL her producers are up to
the work they should and arc expected to per-
form. BY the fair price and abundance Of our
own commodities We must keep those from other
quarters out Of the market which nature has SO
6ountifuly placed even, as it were, at our very
door.
Let the plow run steadily with every favora.
BILE turn Of the weather, till every farmer has at
least doubled the length Of the lands which he
formerly had seeded to wheat The same
amount that it cost him last year for seed will
furnish him double the quantity now. Let
every grain Of il be sowed. The yield will all be
wanted, and more, too. Do not doubt it for q
moment, but plow and SOW in order that the
wheat harvest Of another year may greatly ex.
coed that Of any previous one.
There ought to be considerable attention paid
10 swine. Any investment in that direction
must surely be profitable. Let the pork be made
into bacon there Is always q demand for that
article at any price. The mining portion Of the
community must have the article, no matter
what Il may cost In short, our farmers must
be alive to their own interests just now, and not
suffer the golden opportunity to pass without
tending to their own pecuniary advantage, a'
well as the general prosperity Of the State.
From the above remarks, which we copy from
the Portland Daily Advertiser, It will be seen
that our Oregon neighbOrs are fully alive to the
importance Of being prepared for the gold excite
ment Of the coming year. The advice above,
which we earnestly endorse, is just as applica-
bic to the farmers Of Puget Sound as il Is to
those VI Oregon, Every farmer in Washington
and Oregon may reap literally golden harvest
upon bis own farm, next season, if he will apply
himself with industry to the cultivation Of the
soil. II is not necessary for the farmer to go to
the mines to get gOldj if he viii stay at home
and faithfully perform his legitimate labor, Il will
flow into his lap in lnrgef quantities than fall to
the lot Of miners; and that too, without the
trials and privatiOnS which the latter are sub
iected 10.

New GOvERSMESr GUN-BoATs.-From a Bos-
ton correspondent Of the Sacramento Union we
learn that the gun.boat Sycamore, the first Of
the twenty-three gun-boats being constructed
ior the government, has been recently launched.
She was showed off the stock FIVE days in ad-
vance Of the time demanded by the builders
contract. Her machinery was nearly con-
structed, and she was expected to be ready for
steam in the course Of two or three weeks after
launching There arc several others in an ad.
vanced state Of Sorwardness In different New
England yards, and by the middle Of October or
the first Of November, the whole number will
be ready for service. The speed Of the Sagd-
more is estimated at fourteen or fifteen knots an
hour; her tonnage is $50 tons, and her arma-
ment will consist Of twelve 32-pounders and two
riaed pivot guns. Her sailing complement is
about l7G men. All the rest are building upon
substantially the same model and Of like capacity,

INPREssSG SAILORS FoR PEyATEERS-A late
number Of the Charleston Is. g. Mercury
contains an account Of conspiracy on board the

ment Of sailors for privateers. A Confederate
Marshal had arrested four men for cOnspiring to
kin the captain and officers Of the JsG: Davis,
with the design Of taking Der to New York. Il
Is thought that the conspiracy bad some agency
in the recent stranding Of that vessel on the St.
