Politics —Our Legislature has met and again
chosen our old Pittsburgh friend. Col. Bigler, for
Speaker of the House. The Col. appears to be
the most popular mah m the Legislature. Out of
29 votes he received 20. Several of the Whigs
voted for him.
Gov. Burnett resigned on the 6th, and Lient-
Gov. McDougal was sworn in as Governor, and

I
I On the night of the 7tb, a third H ouse was or
ganized at .the City Hotel. Thirty-ant committees
. were appointed by the Chair, among lhe number
I find those on Distressed Cattle, Bricks, Medals,
Wool, Cripples,Soft Soap, Liquoratare, Means and
Ways, Disappointed Candidates, High ways and
By-ways, Widows and Orphans. Fogs, Steamboats
and Low Water, Long Boots and Water Lots, San
Jose Races, What I Saw (Bryant), What 1 did
not See, What I hope to See, Quartz Rock and
Cinnebar; Wind Mills and Water Falls, Head
waters of Salt River (candidates generally), Rats,
Ground Squirrels- end Fleas, Ac. The House then
went into a co m mitteo of the whole on the state
of the Onion. The “Fugitive Slave bill" was
deemed a matter of so little importance that the
“ third House" would not notice it. Two houses
are generally found Sufficient for other States, but
California is belie ved to be entitled to three.
The Board of Aldermen of this city (during
Mayor Geary's absence from the city,) passed
another “Salary bill;" the Mayor hearing of it,
returned to 'the city just in time to veto it. The
bill provided a salary of $4OOO per annum. The

The Wee iksn ia delightful. "lot Yanktts ”
have entirely changed the climate.
The Misebs have not been doing much of late,
in consequence of .the high water. Numbers are
now leaving the city for the mines, and as usual
all expect to make their pile. The enow has been
very deep upon the .mountains, and many miners
have perished in it;
The New Eedohado haß been discovered, and
as your readers have not lately been stirred up on
this subject, you will allow me to give them a few
facts that will make them'staro.
The eteamer Chesapeake left this place on the
21st ult., with about thirty adventurers, bound up
the coast, but none knew where. There was much
talk about the expedition for a tew days, when all
died away- On the Bth the Chesapeake came into
port, bringing back several of the "prospectors,’
among whom was Gen. John Wilson. A cot „
np was immediately formed under the ■ title oi
"The Pacific Mining Company,” to whom a re
port wae made, which disclosed some of the most
marvellous and startling discoveries ofgpld which
have ever been heard or dreamed of. The facts
are bs follows: About thirty miles above Trinity
; there is a beach several miles in length, which ib
bounded by a very high blud. The sands on this
beach are very deep, and mixed with gold to an
extent beyond the belief of any man who has not
been in California; —the black sand is mixed with
fine gold in proportions of from ten. cents to> ten
dollars the pound. The Pacific Mining Company
lonnd twenty or thirty men upon the ground, who
did not appear at all anxious to dig—for when
they wanted their pile it lay there before them,
and they had nothing to do but pick it up.
The Secretary of the Company, Mr. Collins,
has declared that he saw a man who.bad accumu-.
lated fifty thousand pounds (of rich Band) or fifty
thousand tons, he could not recollect which. The
partywho are now there intend remaining until
spring, when they will load a ship and leave for
some other Country. Gen. John Wilson says that
Ihotuandt of mm could not exhaust this gold in
thoutondi of ytart; _
Affidavits have been published in this city
which confirm all I have written. I have no
doubt but that you will soon find vessels coming
■■round the Horn" with full cargoes of the pre.
cioaa stuff.
I have no desire to induce any of you to come
to'California, for Heaven knows I have suffered no
little during my trip to and sojourn m this land of
Ophir. I have no doubt but that all I have writ*
ten is true, yet I would advise you to hold on a
short time—and when I am perfectly convinced
of the riches of '' Gold Bluff,” I am off, sure/. and
before I etatt l will let you know. As yet I have
not been “ bluffed off,” notwithstanding the favor
able reports. Santos Padrul how folks are leav
ing; no tea than ten vessels are now up for the
; Bluffa But keep cool, and don’t get eicited; I
will keep you all advised. ’
Three steamers leave to-day for Panama.
Deuocbstic Viotobi.— At the recent election
in Monterey the Democrats elected their Mayor,
Recorder, Marshal, and'the entire Board of Alder*
men, nine in number. Can’t you do the same
thing in the Iron City, or have you let Barker
beat you again.
I received a number of papers by the last
but found so many columns taken up with a dis*
cussion of the Barker Case that tbo*y proved of
little interest.

Mb. Enrtoa: Hailing from Allegheny county
to California none two years since, deprived, like
all others in this country, of mail facilities, you
can judge my gratification at seeing a copy oi
your Daily Post in this city, the first Pittsburgh
paper I have seen in this country. I paid lor it
25 cents, end glad to get it at any price ; it came
as an old familiar friend, and brought pleating re
collections of yonr smoky city along with it-
I presume lhat ere this fires and furs prove com
fortable to you, but here it is otherwise j the wea,
ther is warm and comfortable, similar to the au»
tumn months in Pennsylvania! and although we
I ate in what is nailed the rainy season, but little
t rain has yet fallen, compared to that of last year;
' business is very dull in consequence, the mines
I not having water to wash the immense amount
|o! dust they have thrown up in the ravines end
I arroyas during the summer; money is consequent
| ly scarce, as the trade of this country at present
1 depends on its mining operations. The prospects
l of the miners this winter are generally good, if
I they had plenty of water to operate. Numerous
1 quarts veins, rich with the yellow ore, are being
! discovered every day in the southern mines, and
I when the earth ceases to yield so profusely to the
I shovel and pick, mining with machinery will be
profitable, and affotd on immense amount of labor
at good prices,
afford food in abundance for their consumption,'
and a climate surpassing that of romantic Italy.—
To a close observer here it must be evident that
this State, grownup so suddenly on the Pacific,in
ufew years will be second to none of her older
r sister States oti the Atlantic,
1 The morals and society here are not so polished
as they might be. .Robbing end assassination are
common occurrences, while gaming is the ruliug
passion of the mass. AH this results from the in
difference of the better part ol the population to
what pisses around them; their desire being to
make their pile as quick and easily as possible,
and return to enjoy it. in the Atlantic States, ns if
enjoyment is not to.be found on the shores of the
Pacific. They feel as if they bad no lime to sac,
rifice and no interest but lhat ol self to protect
while here, and hence the state of society that
prevails But a better-state of feeling begins to
pervade the community. The la ws are becoming
more restrictive, and their execution more de
manded, especially since we have become a State.
In fact the tardiness of Congress to recognise her
as a State was a great drawback to her prosperi,
ty. As the mass here, patriotic to the Union as;
the home of their fathers, looked to the establish*
ment of a State government with a jealouß eye,
viewing it as a matterofspeculation, and a usur»
pation not warranted by the United States, the
consequence was, they could not execute the laws,
and they became adead letter. But since her ad
mission the tone of public sentiment has become
more healthy, and a cheerful submission given to
the laws.
There is a call for a Union meeting at San Fran
cisco, signed by some of its most influential men .
California was the last admitted and will be the
last to strike her flag to disunion. Her citizens
are from the North and from the South, but meet
here as Americans, and know no sectional divis*
ions, no North, no South, but the Union as it is.
In politics California is Democratic to the core,
and her vote on the first national Issue will show it.
In the recent elections held there was no political
issues, with the exception ol Sacramento city,
and these sectional differences weakened the Dem'
ocratic party; but mark it, California goes Dem
ocratic for President.
The Legislature is now in session. The gov
ernor has sent in his resignation and it has been
accepted, Lt. Gov. McDougal takes his.place.—
The most important business will be the election
of aU. S. Senator. It ie hard to eay who wilt
be elected, but I think Col. Geary stands a very
good chance. Your friend Bigler has been elec
ted President of the Lower House almost unani
mously.
The Indians are becoming troublesome all thro’
the mines,both North and South. It will take an en.
ergetic movement of government to prevent furth
ler bloodshed. But I must close.
Tours, Respectfully.
