DEAR SR;-Since thc time draws near,
when the column Of California will receive
their discharge from the service Of the U,
S, and your paper is the one most appre.
ciated and read by the men, composing
said Corps, intend with your kind
permission, to lay before them few
facts, which may perhaps have some inan-
ence with them regarding the selection Of
their home for the next future, The Cali
fornians, then, taken as whole seem tc
suffer somewhat from paregrinatiou
mania, Their energies in very many in.
stances are spent in exploring, prospecting
settling down and breaking up again, worl,
ing hard and not unfrequently with great
success all the time, But must NOT thcsC
children Of Toll and Danger confess t.
themselves that there must come iina

articles too numerous to mention, if peopl,
