A Golden Blk.

To stay the ebbing tide Of population, which
has commenced settling away from San Diego
toward the north, a new bait has been dis
covered to tempt the imagination of men, and
induce continuance of life in that Southern
region. The orange groves did not hold out
long, and Something new had to be struck to
save tho, country from depopulation. It has
been produced in the shape of wild rumors of
gold. discoveries, and the late population of
San Diego is now rushing over the Mexican
line into Lower California, in search of the
rich placers, which they are informed have
lately been discovered there. The correspon-
dent OF the San Francisco Call appears to be
moro excited about the matter than any Que
elses sHo writes TO that paper letter in
which the following extract appears:
San Diego. at present, is in q fever Of heat,
three lines of conveyance leaving twice every
week. and charging five dollars for return tick
ct. Every person who has means is starting
Ton the diggings, and the exodus will certainly
continue until the city is depopulated, or
nearly 20. unless some news discouraging to
wealth-seekers be received. So far every man
that has returned from the mines has invaria-
bly,, purchased mining outfit, and left for his
claim; but although believe in the future of
both San Diego and the new gold fields, +, at
the same time, would advise no person to
come here, urless he is possessed of sufficient
means to maintain him at least one MONTH
for L can assure my friends that employment
is thing very difficult to obtain. at the pres
emit time, in this city. The greater part Of the
land here is held by two persons.
II this discovery has been made at the point
indicated by the Call, il is not likely to prove
very substantial. The country from San
Diego TO Cape st. Lucas, With one or two ex-
ceptions, is dry, desolnte, inhospitable
region. No timber no vegetation Of any kind
save the everlasting mesquit, no water neither
onthe earth below nor in the heavens above.
Volcanic forces have broken the mountains
into fragments, and scared the rocks with
iptetpsIl fires. II Is no country for gold
piaReFs. Even the fow silver lodges formerly
worked penr the Cape, have been abandoned
~ worthless All the ordinary evidences Of
the prcsonoe OF gold are wanting, and If tho
metal liz ever fosnd there in considerable guam
titles, IL will DO remarkable discovery. IL is
rarely that rich or permanent gold placors are
found far from timber Of water.

me- cullom Bin and u. Mormons.


This bill means war" This is the New
York Worlds opinion of the Cullom bill for
the suppression Of polygamy in Utah. So The
Mormons think, and there is commotion in
the camp of the Prophet. Indignation meet
ings and demonstrating petitions are kindling
the fires of martyrdom throughout the Terri
tory, and the determination has been freely
expressed to leave not one stone upon another
ere the Government shall execute the law.
The Mormons claim that they have made that
country all that it is, and if they cannot be
permitted to enjoy their own in their own
way, no other party shall reap the benefits of
their industry. If it is true that this Cullom
bill is declaration of war against the Mormon
church. we may soon look for lively times in
Utah. Utah has been through one war; and
made money by it and as the eagles gather
to their prey, so will there be gathering of
the clans from all along the line when the
storm breaks over Utah. If it come to u strug-
gle, there are thousands of the floating Gentle
population who, caring nothing for the relig-
ious or political aspect of the case, will collect
from all quarters to take hand We have
frequently here in Elko heard men plan their
campaign for the coming Summer upon the
basis of a Mormon difficulty ; and nothing
would please large portion of the people
better than the Inauguration of another Nor
mon war. This is one of the contingencies of
the times, but we do not expect such result
for some time to come. The bill is not yet n
law; it has not yet passed either branch of
Congress, although fayorably reported from
the committee.
Brigham Young will not yield the fight
without desperate struggle and if rumor is
correct he has fund to fall back upon,
which will go far in corrupt and mercenary
Congress. He can afford to spend n few mil
lions to defeat this bill If he fail, and the
bill passes into the statutes of the land it will
be next to impossible to enforce it. Any law
which is not backed by the moral sentiment
of the community is failure. 1t lacks the
executive force necessary for its execution.
If appealing from civil machinery to soldierly
force, the Government attempts to enforce the
law with n strong hand, then we may lack for
resistance and eventually the destruction of
the finest property i'll the Territory. This
bill will consolidate the Mormons, and quick
ly heal the little differences and breaches,
which recently appeared on the surface of
their society. Congress can not legislate any
mans religion from his heart.
