About eight hundred persons assembled in the
Tabernacle, on Friday evening, 16th inst., to beer
Mr. Atherton's Lecture on California, or mho'. ki
see a live Californian---a man who had ac'ually .
been'at the " digaituy" both " wet" and " dry:"
Although Mr. Atherton would have doubtless felt
More at home, in the Valley of the Sacramento, as
he himself suggested, the plain Insight to-thexterk
manner in which the sum and substance of his
knowledge was imparted to his hearers might be
copied to advantage_by many persons who have
had more experience ►n public speaking than Mr.
Atherton. A gentians'', whose name we were
not able to ascertain, having made a few inmulne.
• tory remarks, introduce& to the audience Mr. Ath
erton, who commenced
LURES AICD GESTLCIMI : On my. animal in this
City, three or four days since, I was applied to by
large number of persons for reliable information in
reference to alifomiti. All the information I lave
in reference to that country, I have freely imparted
to the extent rimy ability, to all who have sought
it ; but if I were to severer all the inquiries that
have been put to me, I should have no time learn
attend to the business for which I left California.—
Numerous letters have been sent to me, requesting
me to eive a public lecture ; several of the papers
of this• city have called on me to do *so, and
personal applications have been made to me to the
same effect. 1 consented ; bat, gentlemen, I as
:sure you that it was reluctantly. I would willing
ly !decline the honor, even now, if it were possible.
I Have reduced to writing a portion of what I have
to say to you, that it may be presented with some
method, and in proper order; afar which it will'
give great planate to answer any question which
may be put to me. As my appearance in public
as a lecturer is unusual, I beg you to excuse my
many imperfections. I shall make of this lecture
four general divissons, as follows:
First—The bee of the country, climate, produe.
lions of California, its healthfulness, River Seem
mento and branches, price of freight, launches, go
vernment of the coonny, 100. lie.
Sammd—The mines, manner of procuring the
gold; average quantity per man, probable supply,
wet and dry di gg ings compared, and some in
stances of success within my OWO personal obeer-
Ml=
Third—Advice to Emigrants to California, anti
des necessary for an outfit, Ike. Ike.
Fourrh—The different routes to Ci'b'oria, the
expence of each, with, full particulars of the route
through Mexico, %over which I? travelled on my
return from San Francisio,) with distances, expen
ses and manner of travelling is Mexico, and which'
is the most advisable route.
Under the first general division of my 'whim; I
.rill remark that the soil is generally good and ca
pable of producing all the ordinary grains. It is a
good wheat country. The red worm, which des
troys so much of the wheat here, is unknown in
California, so far as my knowledge extends. When
I first Went to California, in the month of January,
1847, land at Bandage, which is about thiiy miles
north of San Francisco, was worth two dollars an
acre only—when I left, it was worth twenty dollars
an acre. San Francisco, or Yerba Buena, as we call
it, stands, as you know, on the large and beautiful
bay of San Francisco, - end contains the most mag
nificent harbor in the smirk!, and the only sale bar- I
bor in all Upper California, except San Diego. All
the navies of the world and its commercial marine]
could ride is perfect security and repose on its bo-
Nam. The harbor is entered from the ocean by a
narrnw passage about one or two miles wide, with
high bluffs on each rile. This bay extends about
sixty miles to the east of the town of San Franck
co, and about one hundred miles to the north west,
end is from five to fifteen miles wide. The town
is four orfite miles from the - cream. In January,
1847. there were about six hundred inhabitants in
Ilan Francisco. In April last, just before the goI4
placers were discovered, there were about one
thousand inhabitants there. There were, in May
and June, only a few women and children, the ma
jority of the population having gone to the mines.
When I left, many had ,retumed. The town was
filled by emigrants arriving from 'Oregon, Sand-
Wich Islands, Valparaiso, and all the neighboring
places. There are several other towns an this bay
The principal ones are Sonoma, San Raphael, San
ta Clara and Sin Jose. .I have visited all these pla.
eels, but my residence has been at San Francisco
from January, 1847, ap to the 19th day of Decem
ber, 1848.
In /Chalon to the climate of California, I can cafe. I
ly say that it is not an unhealthy country. Fever
and agne is somewhat-prevalent along the bed:sof
some of the rivers; but I hazard nothing in saying
that the valley of the Sacramento is much more
healthy than the valley of the lffississWi, or.the

I now *mos& that portion of aty lecture which
will probably be of the greatest isoletest So yes, to
wit : the mines, manger of pweininqg the gold, as-
erne quanti7 per man, probable 'apply, wet and

my own personal obeervarias. I may eery safely
telt you that the aconfiits you hove in the pepsin,
from California, are not fruquerated,lurwever wen
they may be rakadated to Nagger belief in them.
Gold is found in great abundance over an extent of
country 300 miles by 1,000. 1 have explored only
a small portion of the vast area, and new discove
ries are constantly being made. " The first gold was
discovered in February, 1848, about ate year ago;
but although it was repotted in Son Francisco that
gold was found, yet it dal not at first seem to make
any impression on the people at that city. They
did not believe the reports, or rather they did not
realize the fact that gold was found in such abund•
ones, so near them. It was not till April and May
that the *hole population became fully awakened
to the subject, when all the men, and many , of the
women and children, went to the gold diggings:—
It was not till people came down with the gold dust
and reported $3 to MO per day, that the people of
. 1 13sa Francisco etedited the reports. In the &task
itreeks of the snub commenced, $llOO,OOO were eol
lected. The quantity collected by each person va
ried from one ounce to 01,000 per day. It is now
ascertained that gold exists an both Ales of the
Nevada from Inked* 41 math teas farscash
as the San losipen, arid although the annoy has
not been fully explored, there is no doubt that the
gold region extends 1,000 miles along the valley
of the Sacramento and San lamp* and still Leber
to the south. The surrey of gold is atianhelly in
exhaustible. in my Opinion, one imbibed thous
and pewee could DO exhaust the ninth in ten or
twenty years. The ore is in iii virgin state, mid is
found amonithe sande and gravel bed,in sialeand
I granite rocks, groin good tillable roil. Some OW
chines were used when I left, but tin pans were'
generaPy preferred. Some Indianbaskets were al
-1 so used, and were considered good; being very
light and bandy. I law, yestenlay, a machine in
vented by a gentleman of this city living, I believe
l in Eldridge at. which I considered a superior one ;
end I would advise those who in'end go:ng to the
gold diggings to examine it. it is very simple and
easy to transport. The quantity of gold now ex
tracted is estimated, at about bur millions of dol
t. tars. The Mot of washing the gold limey severe.
People wash gold as long ea they can steed up,

I will now speak to you of the articles neemeary
for an outfit to California. In the first place, an
Indian Robber Trot is, I consider, indispensable.
This can be procured in San Francisco at a less
price than it wend& coat to buy ii bens and transport
it there. Every man who is going to dig muds a
pair of India Ribber long stockings. Theses= be
had io San Francisco; eV° kith's city. A pair of
thick oboes should be worn over the India Bobber
stocking% to Prevent the grawel from easing the
feet of the stocking% and thus admitting the rester.
The India Rabbet...leaching, would prevent perspi

certainly pledgee colds and fevers. Every emi
