THE- CALIFORNIA GOLD FEVER.
The NetVjYork papers have advices from Sail
Francitco as late as the first of June. The gold
fever continued there with increased malignancy.
A correspondent of the Herald at San Francisco
says thai tliu whole of that patt of California is in
the highest state of excitement (and the southern
part uil soon become so) relative to the Placcraor
gold regions recently discovered on the branches of
theSicramcnto rixcr. Three-fourths of the houses
in S.in Francisco are actually acaled: ccn lawyers
have closed their books and taken "passage with ;t
spade and wooden dish to make fortunes by washing
out gold from the sjnds on the Sacramento. Cooks
and stewards have refused fifty dollars a month to
remain under their former employers. Clerks'
wages li jvc risen to a thousand dollars a ear.
C.ir( enters blacksmiths and teamsters w ho in April
nctivcd thiee dollars a day now refuse ten : a few
still rem nn making shovels spades and pick-axes
and turning wooden bowls mil are nuking upwards
of twenty dollars a d ly. '1 he w riter proceeds
" .mi informed that one blacksmith mikes ten
to fillet n small picks andselKlhcui o; a livnr atffi
each. Cugiisli spades and shovels will command
SI0 each end by taking them to the gold regiui.-
iild a heavy piolit by selling again There is not
in thu town one new shovel fur sale p'rliaps not i
tin cup or pan A boat requires four daa to go
from here lo Sutler's Fort. 'I he fare has nsi n from
SI to $12 each passenger carrying his own jirovi
sions Wooden bowls vvoith in .v w 1 ork i()!
1j cmls would sell here now for E5
The same writer reports that it i the general
opinion that the "gold coast" is voiy eutnsive. and
that it can be worked for tnotisands of year? to come
All tins might be considered a sheer lT.entiou of
the nitivcs for stocking the country with a foreign
pop'ilalion Cut all this extraordinary t nry i con-

The reasons which have led to this step are many
and cogent. Wc shall however only state n few
of them merely to sa'isfy tho-e xv lion; curiosity may
b aroused stiflicicnlly to gam ior us a perusal and
to show the expediency ol the measure The ma-
