AN OLD CITIZEN ON CALIFORNIA.

]. y. Eastwood, former citizen of Fort
Scott, writing to the Monitor from San
Francisco, says:
The country is overfun with Eastern people, and
there are thousands here who cannot get employ
ment, who are suffering now, and will continue to
suffer as long they remain here. II any Of your
friends talk of coming California, tell them iUr
Gods sake stay where they are, unless they have
plenty OF money, for this is country for those
who strapped a man here without money IS
in a bad fix, and there thousands now just in
that predicament. Any one having the cash to buy
a farm or 90 into any other business, | think can
do better here than in Kansas, but poor is out
Of place in any part Of the State have yet visited
and have been in the best portion Of California
the Valley Of the Sacramento, from Sacramento
City to San Francisco, distance Of nearly one hun
dred miles, and from the latter place TO San jose
The price Of land in all Of this region ranges from
$50 TO 500 per acre.
This is the view We have always taken of
the country. There is probably good
opening there for man with plenty Of
money and enterprise, but the country is
full of poor laboring men, who are unable
to obtain work, and who spent their last
dollar for their railroad fare. We think
that Mr.. Eastgood's advice "For Gods
sake, tell them TO stay where they are" had
better be needed. Try Kansas for another

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-As the steamer st.
Luke, bound from Leavenworth to st. Louis,
was passing under the railroad bridge at
St. Charles, Missouri, about 10 o'clock last
night, she struck one of the piers, which
crushed in about thirty feet Of her lsrboard
side, tearing away part OF her machinery.
She filled with water rapidly, but after
floating down the swollen current about two
miles, struck bar in the middle OF the
river, and sank to the hurricane deck. At
the first crash the passengers rushed from
their berths in great terror and became
panic stricken, but were finally gathered on
the hurricane roof, where they remained
till daylight, clad in their night clothes, or
such garments as they snafched from the
state-roOms, when the ferry boat came down
and took them ashore.
About one hundred souls were on board
including officers and crew, most Of whom
were deck passengers, but no list Of the
names of the latter was kept by the clerk.
1t is thought some five or SIX persons were
knocked overheard when the boat struck
the pier, but of this nothing Is definitely
known. Those whose ioss il certain, are
Vim. Brooks, fireman; Tom. Donnelly
deck-sweeper Mrs. John or James Oman
who took passage at Kansas City, and her
two daughters, aged seven and nine years
one male passenger, name unknown; and
three deck passengers, whose names are al.
20 unknown. All of the survivors reached
here to-day, by railroad, mos, Of them in a
destitute condition.
The st. Luke was owned BY the Missouri
River Packet Company, and valued at $50.

The Mining Troubles.

New YORK, April l5.-A Pottsville, Pa,
dispatch says: The long continued suspen-
sion of mining 10 this region is seriously luJur-
ing all kinds of business. Until quite recently
little had been heard OF the growing strlngency
10 business The piuch had not become severe
enough to complain Of but when the hrst OF
April found the business in anything but
favorable condition for quarterly settlement,
the men began to look grave. Now the alt IS
heavy with rumors, many OF them only TOO
true, OF the disasters impending over mer-
chants and other business men of the region
Few have ever been able to do strictly cash
business, and those who deal on credit have al
ready lost heavily with no prospect OF speedy
relief. No positive failures have been report
ed as yet, bur many merchants have from
S. 900 10 $50, 900 on their bonks, OF which

said, that one firm in this place, retailers OF
dry goods and groceries, have already invested
SAB 600 in the strike. The same striugeucy
which affects merchants is felt in all other
branches of business 1t is as bad as a panic
Nobody is able to collect money. Real estate,
in which there was a very large business done
last year, is wholly inactive. The local stock
market is depressed. Saving funds which usual
" issue new series of shares every month,
now issue only one-third as often, for nobody
has any money to save and the shares go. un-
sold, aud, it is reported, that one or two IN a
iyhboriug town have temporarily suspended
payments. The Philadelphia ADD Reading
Railroad have adopted the practice OF running
pioneer engines ahead Of its trains on the more
