that it was dangerous to use. In some,placea, it

posed•of heavy sand, which is almost impassable
for animals to drag a 'wagon through. I dO;not
think there can hie, more gloomy or desolate4a
gion in the whole world. When we got within 19
or ten miles of Pilot river, we had to leave our
wagons old drive our stock on to the river. I
stayed with the wagons, and that day was a daY
that never will be effaced from my memory, for
that was a day that:l saw human as well as ani.
mal suffering, in all , its forms. Men came walk
ing along through the scorching sun, famished fcir
water ; they offered any amount for a drink of
water; one man Offered:lne l 8100 !for a pint Of
water. I refused it ; and told him that:water was
one of the free gifts of;Goff; and as long as I had
it I would distribute it freely; but, unfortunately,
I had but a couple of; grdlons,whichsoon run out.
Then cane the tinie that I duly appreciated the
value of wuter, for I suffered for it myself. The
last accounts that we received from there was at
flitting' indeed; a great many people had lost
their stock, end were left in a terrible condition;
destitute of water and provision, I should not be
surprised to hear of thousands of persons perish•
log on the route; as it is supposed there is some
30 or 40 thousand on the way here. The citizens
here_vie raising subscriptions to pure e provis.
ion to send on to their relief.
I any baypy to inform you that the gold mines
here have gone beyond my expectations. Almost
every man I meet thathas been here any length of
time, is loaded. I have made particular enquiry
amongst some of the leading men here as regarded
the average per man in the mines, and I find that
it is estimated at from 30 to 33 dollars per day.
On our way here,one, of out men took a trip off
to the rim which was about eight or ten miles
distant. He worked about 3 horns, aid retuned;
with sto worth of gold. Day after tomorrow If
shall start for the mints. lam recruiting—sellingl

to eat. Provisions are reasonable here at present,`
—Flour is $8 per huidred ; pork $5O dollars per
barrel; sugar from $l2 to $lB per hundred; cof-'
fee freill $1.2 to , per hundred pounds ; fresh
beef at from 20 to.; eta, per,potuai; other eirci•
ales generally in proportion ; you can get a goo'd
breekfast, dinner or supper for $1,50 each ; good
in'Oraftig for $2l per week; a good laborer or
El:technic-can get from $l2 to $2O per day, and
found; the laziest vagabond can get his $lO per
day, and found. '
I am happy to inform you, that the state of
affairs here are in excellent condition ; a person
is as safe here as he would be in the States. There
is no stealing, murder or other depredations core.
mitted since they have put lynch law in force.
The law is to hang a fellow up as soon as he is
caught in the act of stealing.
There is one thing here that I regret to see, and
that is the system of gambling which a great
many young men fall into soon after they reach
here; I am afraid they never will do any good,
either for themselves or the community. For my
part, I made up my mind years ago, never to
gamble, and I do not think I can be led from that
resolution at this stage of life.
There is one.thing that I am glad to find here,
and that is, that foreigners ore not permitted to
work in the mines.
The prices that I have quoted above are taken
at Sacramento city, on the banks of the Sacra
mento, about 3 miles from the fort, ja city in
part composed of linen houses.] The prices in
the mines are much higher; as it costa from $l5
to $2O per hundred pounds to get it hauled 40
miles. Provisions, I think, are going to be abun
dant; as the vessels that sailed around the Cape
are jest beginning to arrive. Large ships come
immediately up to Sacramento city.
The best and principal gold washer that Is used
here, is made just like a child's cradle, with rock.
era, and rocked in pretty much the same manner.
I think there is many s young man here that will
learn to rock the cradle before he is entitled to be
called father.

As regards the Diggings at present, the miners
are jilt commencing operations in the wet dig.
gings ; as the water has become so scarce in the
dry, that they have to abandon them, although
they are the most profitable.
You must excuse the manner in which this is
written, as I hive written in haste, and have to
write with the paper upon my knees. I will write
to you occasionally, and let you know how mat :
tern and things go.
I remain with the greatest respect, yours, &c.

To Mr. SCUD DZII Hair.
A Ctrnrous F,acz.—The whole population of the
:United States could be compassed intn.a space .of
- one square mile, and each individual be allowed
sufficient room to breath in. Fifteeninches square
would suffice for this. There are 1,700 yards in
a mile, which being multiplied,gives 63,360 inches;
and this product divided'by 15, the number of in•
ches of space occupied by each individual, would
place 4,224 'of them in a row to extend the length
of a mile; and the -same number 'of.rowa to corn.
plate` a square mile would consequently number
17,842,576. , .

' From Mr IVroadtrgton Unix .
Dlortda Redeeatedt—Tho Whig Bounfier
Down.
Several elections were held in the state of Flo.
tide, on the Ist inst., for members of the State
'stature to meet next fall. Vacancies were octi-
Shined by the resignation of sundry whig memblirs
appointed to federal offices by the present admin.
istration and by deaths and other causes. By *be
State constitution, we learn, the holding of fade al '
office and State office by the same preen is forbid
den. The elections for major gel:tends and
brigadier generals, and for local offices in the ffif=
ferent counties, also came off at the .same time 4-
We gather from the “Floridian and Journal," tlf
Tallehaszeo; and from the ~N ews," atJacksonvill
and other Florida papers, the following facts:
Mr. A. E. Maxwell, of Leon county, is electeil
senator by a majority of 36 votes over his popular
whig competitor, N. L. Thompson, Esq. General
Taylor's majority fall was 162,-4lemocratiO
gain in this county 198. Mr. M. is one of the ed;
itons of that able democratic paper, the Floriditi
and Journal.
In St John's county, (St. Augustine,) the entire: ,
democratic ticket is elected by 62 majority. It itt 4
observed in one of the papets,uTaylor made nearly
a clean sweep of the offices, and the people have
made a clean sweep of the Taylorites. ;This ma«
jority will be increased in the other precincts."
It is also stated that Colonel John Milton—ones
of the Cass democratic electors last fall; and who;
is the democratic candidate for major general o 1
the let division—has received large majorities
Jefferson and Gadsden counties. Thellatter coun4l
ty was Taylor in 1848. Col. M. iscertainly electl
ted over Gen. L. A. Thompson, who was supper.
ted by the Whigs. 4
In David county, the whig vote was 121 behind,
that of General Taylor last fail. Ctilopel Jesse,
Carter, the democratic candidate for major generae r .
in East' Florida, ie chrtainly elected! by a large,
majority; and also Colonel Francis L. Haney, the
democratic candidate for brigadier general. The
News says:
We also learn that'Colonel Robert Brown, i n t:
Columbia county, and -Mr. Horace ;Vaughn, int
Natutau, haVo been elected to the State senate, in,
Opposition to the wing candidates. Thisisagreat:
result, hut Onlyy, a shadow of what will come here-,
after, When ditleomfited Taylorism shall find no'
foothold in Florida. What do Mr. Cabell and oth i
Cr wilig flinCtiOnaries end office.holders ,think of
