merooß friends throughout the county with interest.
We have been, informed that Mr. W.jcroaaed the
plains two yeora ago, and'experienced almost in*
credible hardships and privations whileprosecatijg
his. journey to the counfay which has been j found
to be “ better.jihan any of the. States.” He has
been quite successful itf'his acquisition of a. “pile
of the vile "corrupt’ omnipotence of earth,” and ;
comtemplateS returning soon to this 1 , his native
county:
Sacbahejito Citt, February 1,1851.
B&otber Nap I have just received three letters
from you, successively dated May 13th, June 10th,
and October 26th; so ; you can form some idea of
the greitt public accommodation afforded by the
present post office arrangement. Six] and; eight
months usually elapse before a letter is delivered
in this country— whether owing tP a dereliction of
duty on the part of the present officialincumbent,
or a defectivo postal arrangement, deponent saith
not; but one thing is certain, the management of
matters here is an outrage upon the community.
I have written frequently to you and cousin Sam,
and by your letters learn that you have done the
same to me; but hare received aB yet] only a few
letters from either of you. If you have an oppor
tunity to send letters by hand to San Francisco, it
is much the best way ; the one you sentby : 'Mr.
Lazard came directly through, though |I have hot
seen the gentleman who brought it. : In roy last
letter to Sam, 1 stated what I was at, but in case
that letter should -notife received I will'repeat it for
your satisfaction.
After one year’s residence in the] mountains,
having endured all kinds of privations jand suffer
ings in the snow, with good, bad and indifferent
luck so blended together.that I could j hardly tell
whether I was fortunate or not; but a glance at my
purse, which presented'somewhat of ajpletbora or
dropsical', contour, would indicate an affirmative,
althougli"wh»>n I left iho mines, about $3OOO were
due roe,‘which I was unable to collect. My practice
was extensive and lucrative; a visit and prescription
“in the mines vary from one to six ounces, (an ounce
is $16.) If l had to go down the mountain, which
was four miles, s and at an angle of from forty to
sixty degrees, itwaa six ounces. You may think this
was high, but it was worth the money to climb back.
The days for making “ big licks” in the mines
may no?/ be numbered among the things that were.
The winter thus far has' been very unfavorable for
■ mining, having been but little rain, whiph has pre
vented miners from working in the “dry diggens,”
•whither they all fled after the first rain s , and com
menced throwing up dirt to wash in the rainy sea
son. Thousands«fire in the mines now 'waiting for
rain, unable even to earn their “grufi,” as they
classically term rusty pork and half baked slap-jacks.
Remember, California is not what it‘is Represented
to be, by interested accounts-that go back to the
States; true, it is a better country than! any of the
States, but falls far short of Xll the accounts 1 have
seen published in the papers of the States. There
must and will, ere long, be-another financial revul
sion— it is inevitable ; the yield of the mines will
not justify and sustain the present prices.
From a year’s observation, having been for 300
miles along the western slope of the Sidra Nevada,
north from the McCosamne river, I find that the
productiveness of the mines is about] the same,
averaging to all who work about $2 per day. I ,
have seen almost innumerable accounts of “ big
lumps ” having been found, which, in jthe main is
true, and about such and such a person having
made his “pile,” but not a word said about 150,0Q0
miners in the country, many of whom ace not
making their board. This is the true state of the
case, and on which you may rely, as I. have no
sinister object to accomplish in deceiving you.
The weather this winter is delightful ; it is per
fect spring. lam inclined to think no.w that last
winter was an unusual one, even for California, for
sometimes it would rain fifteen days unceasingly,
and then turn into a settled rain. . Thus'far, this
winter, we have not had more than ten days rain
altogether. If this is like the ordinary winters
here, it certainly is preferable to anything in the
way of winter that I have ever seen. *.*■■**
I have just received another letter, from you,-
dated Nov. 19th, per the politeness of some illegible
name. * * * Your enquiries about Mr. John
A. Springer have been’ anticipated. ‘ A jl)r. Patter
son, from Tennessee, told me of his death, and
that he was from Columbia, Pa. Accordingly j. I
wrote to cousin Sam, stating the fact,-thinking it
might be a satisfaction to his friends know, that
he was well attended during his illness, and had
every attention that care and skill could bestow.
Dr. P. did not say that Springer knew me, but told
me because I was from Pennsylvania,iand I have
written under the impression that He was a son of
Nicholas Springer. He is the only Pennsylvanian
I have ever kdown in this country, if hejis the same.
I am now keeping the “Burnett House” on the
corner of 6th and J streets, in this city; or rather
my partner attends to the principal business. I
own two-thirds of the establishment, and in consid
eration of having purchased an eltra share, I have
the privilege of practising medicine, and also re
- ceive a full share of the profits of the house. I
will send you a draft in my next letter , upon some
.good house in Philadelphia. I' .have, not i heard
from our mutual friend Harry since I; have been
here. When you write to him, tell him for me* to
withdraw from the literary arena for considerations
both pecuniary and honorable. It is much more
pleasant and honorable to be rich and fameless,
than it is to be hungry with a deathless iname. The
veriest dolt with . wealth, is idolized, and the sa
pient dullness of an imbecile, endorsed by the
potency of dollars, is complimented as j wit; whilst
merit in poverty may “ burn the. midnight taper”
in vain, only to prolong in misery, with] a half sub*
sistance, its long, lean, lank, semi-transparent, half
starved, shadow-of-a-shade carcass. Let him turn
. -his attention to money making. It is the source of
aI V honor and distinction in this world, as all
knowing ones here act up to that principle, and
ruii their chances for the next. Money;! what is it
not ? The source of power, honor, joy and luxur
ious ease 1 it will unbar prisons and subvert justice !
it ,will command talents in justifying; wrong and
sway verdicts —it will gain affections that unassum
ing merit and humble virtue would stand aghast at,
and trembling, fear to approach—the heayen-lit
smiles of beauty, the unbending dignity of proud,
imperious, pauper aristocracy, ever relaxes itself
into an apparent complacence at the shrine, of
Plutus; and the staid, unsmiling followers 1 of the
Great, Meek and Lowly, who while oh earth, was
so poor as not to have a\j)lace whereon to lay his
head, deem it not inconsistent to hoard a “pile” of
this' corrupt omnipotence of earth, which alienates
affections, estranges kindred whojshould be friendl,
prostitutes talents, subverts justice,; stipulates a
price on virtue as a commodity of commerce, and
has filled the Temples with money changers. It is
the great power of earth — the God of Jew and
Gentile— the shrine at which all bow and dffer up.

Hon. James Buchanan. 1
The regular Democracy of Lancaster at their last
county meeting, in a manner not to be misunder
stood or misinterpreted, expressed their lijhtire ap
probation of the political course of this distinguished
Democrat, and their unshaken confidence in his
integrity,, ability, and statesmanship. ;
Mr. Buchanan has been assailed, with such un
usual virulence by eertain 'cliques throughout the
State, that we heartily rejoice, that so overwhelming
a rebuke has been given to those, who, under the
influence of some strange manta seemed to have
but one object—to destroy the man ofwhom Penn
sylvanians can be.so justly proud. :
Without expressing a pre/erence for the Presi
dency, or desiring at-this time to discuss, any of
the questions connected with it, we must in justiee
to our leelings, say that to Mr. Buchanan the
country ib largely indebted; on account of the ser
vices he rendered* as one of the Cabinet of; the la
mented Polk, for the lustre he has shed upon the
American name abroad, and hi 6 recent eloquent
and frequent appeals in behalf of the Union. Ser
vices that entitle him to and admiration
of every American* and services that will render
his. name illustrious in all comjng time. !
In private he is as amiable, and pure, as in pub
lie he is eminent; his worst enemies mast acknowl
edge this. This humble effort. in his defence we
felt constrained to make. We have too long been
silent.— Somerset Visitor. j
The riRST Coin sent pbom this County. — It
has been generally-supposed, says the Philadelphia
“Daily Sun,” that the coal first brought from*
Schuylkill county to. this city, was a wagon load,
at comparative by great cost, by George Shoemaker,
about the year 1820. This is not correct. Ab
early as 1795, or thereabouts, Gen. Nichols, Gen.
Arthur St. Clair, John Nicholson, andiothers formed
a company to carry'coaf from Schuylkill county
to Philadelphia, and about that time they freighted
r an ark with coal and brought it to ithis city. It
was deposited in the Potters’field, now Washington
square, and there it-remained for many j years, a
heap of "black stoqes,” exciting the curiosities and
jeers of the idle and " knowing ones,’! andia monu
meht of the supposed folly of those' who, it was
thought, ha<l exposed their ignorance by attempting
to apply those “ black atones “ to any useful pur
pose. '•

Philndelphia, lB4B.
Dr. Keeler—Dear Sir: T take great 'pleasure in
bearing testimony in behalf of ypur valuable med
icine, Sarsaparilla. I have been using it for a pain
in the side of long standing, which was occasioned
by a severe attack of Pleurisy and fever several
years since in the West. For several months past
my health has been failing, and the pain in the side
so severe at times as to disable me from attending
to my business. I have used many remedies with
scarce any benefit until I commenced; using your
Sarsaparilla, since which time my heahh has grad?
ually improved, so mnch so that at the present time
I enjoy much better health than for years past. 1
have used the medicine in my family, and consider
it infinitely superior to any remedy within my know
ledge in chronic affections of the chest and organs
of digestion. lam yours very respectfully

SCROFULA CURED. '
Philadelphia, Nov.! 14, 1848.
Dr. Keeler—Dear*Sir: I feel it my duty to state
to you the good effects your Sarsaparilla has pro
duced on a son of mine, who has been for several
years afflicted with what physicians have termed
Scrofula. He has been some.what.hard of hearing
for several years, accompanied with a constant dis
charge from the ears, and a dull heavy pain across
the forehead ; his general health quite feeble, ap-.
petite precarious, and bowels irregqlar. * Theie
were swellings of the neck and at the angle of the
jaws, the complexion of an ashy paleness, and ail
the characteristics of wasting health. At your re
quest, I commenced giving him your Sarsaparilla,
and I am rejoiced to state that after using three bot
tles, there has been a remarkable change for the
better. His appetite is now good, theipain across
the forehead entirely gone, the swellings have dis
appeared, the color of the skin is now like one en
joying good health, indeed ho now says he feelß
weli, appetite good, sleeps well, and is really
changed, which I attribute solely to your medicine.
1 feel fully satisfied from what I have witnessed in
my own child, that it Is a medicine of unsurpassed
power in disease of a Scrofula character. You are
at liberty to make what use of this you may deem
proper. lam very respectfully yours,:

DIRECT EVIDENCE.
Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell —Dear Sir:—Feeling
under obligations to you for the restoration of my
health, I send you a report of my case, which you
are at liberty to publish for the benefit of others.
Last autumn I took a bad cold, accompanied by a
severe cough, and made use of many medicines
without obtaining relief. I was obliged to give up
business. A friend gave me a bottle of your
CHERRY PECTORAL, the use of which I imme
diately commenced according to directions. 1
have just purchased the fifth bottle, and am nearly
recovered. I now sleep well, my cough has ceased,
and all by the use of your valuable medicine.
