: Dear Sir -. I send yon another epistle from the.
, far-famed Ophtr of modemtimes, noinch atone
-.in mineral wealth, but also in climate and lands. .
• The-romantic descriptions of Italy fall tn the
1 ■ shade in comparison. We are ■ now m .the midst
of February; with the thermometer ranging from ■
- 60 to 80, and weather perfectly dry.- The an* .
nnal rains that visit this country, have not ea yet
commenced, and from every information and ap«
pearance, this will be-ons of the. dry seasons that
• .happen to this country every ten or twelve years,
when for the space of 18 or 20 months rain is a
rarity- Lastjyear by this time the. rainy season
was almost over, commencing in October; while
this season, with tbe. exception of a few light
: showers, it has been very dry. - Miners that have
gone to the dry diggings to winter, have thus been
disappointed in water. Some are returning to the
rivers, while otheie are preparing to take their
’ dirt Which they have thrown op, to thenvere with
carts. The nvera will be very low on accoont of
the continued dry weather, and will afford a good
chance of working them.
The steamer California, doe some eight or ten
days since; has not arrived. There is considers*
ble apprehension for her safely. The steamer Isth
mus left Panama after she did, and arrived eight
days ago, and seen nothing of her. She expert*
--c - 1 enced very stormy weather on her top beta.
There is considerable dissatisfaction here at the
- repeated failures of the mails, audit is not with*
out cause. Half of the mail,'and sometimes
more, is left over on the Isthmus nearly every !
■Time, on- account of cot arriving m time for the i
departure of the Steamer. The-contractors for
carrying the mails across the Isthmus, I under*
stand; are New Grenadians, and care very little
whether they arrive in season or not.. The Gov* ;
- eminent ahonld look to tbia. It is of no- mean
- interest to her that a speedy mail communication:
be established between the growing cem Bierce of i
the Atlantic and Pacific ports. Her own inter* !
“eats, as well -as those of California, demand it. !
'fhe Legislature has atinst concluded to go into i
sn election for U. S. Senator on the.. I7th,inst.—*.
-jSattliDg contested, seats has been the pnncipal
business since the commencement of the session.
A bill making grandlarceny a capital offence, has
passed a second reading.
Robberies and murders have become so com
mon here, and ihe laws so inadequate to suppress
-. crime, that Lynch Law is predominant—advo*
cated by the press, and countenanced by the most
- respectable citizens. -Tber* was ocase ol it here
: this week. A Sidney convict was arrested on board
. a steamer for stealing and cutting open baggage,
- He was found guilty by the passengers, and turned
out of the boat into the hands of tbe multitude
: who had congregated on the dock. They re*
ceived him with shouts, plunged him into the
water,- and left him ..there some fifteen min*
- utes, clinging to a schooner tigging, .They then
took him out and were proceeding.to -whip him,
when he was taken by a Police Officer to the Re*
corder, and found guilt}'. It was with difficulty
the crowd, now grown immense, was: restrained
from taking him out of the office. He was es*
corted to jail under a strong guard. The difficul*
ty of retaining witnesses from one court to anolh.
er, on accouat of the flouting nature of the papu
lation, makes it almost impossible to convict the
Worst of villains; bence the necessity of somes
- thing more urgent.
Amusements are plenty here ibis.winter, (im*
properly so . called.) We have concerts, mas*
. querade balls and theatrical performances every
night, in a style magmficeut for a new,country.
Tbe markets here are dull at present, the Mi
ners having laid in a supply in the Fall. The:
Auction establishments are doing the principal
business. A great many articles are selling be*
low their cost id the Atlantic cities, being.lorced
on the market by the high pncea of Btorage and
freight. Here are the products of every clime;
of which a gnat many from China, such as Chairs
made of cane; paintings,. some of. wbich cra
beautiful; Shawls, Stc„ There was a cargo of
Tea landed in San -Francisco in S 3 days from
China. ■

‘ two 'parties,'Savngo taktog ono part and the Major
“the other. Savage went near the elbow or curve ot

NEWS FROM GOLD BLUFF.
[From the Pacific News, Feb. 15.)
The Chesapeake returned from Gold BIuS on Sat* I
urday, and from the number orpassengers who ro-1
turned in her,iho public will got the impression that I
«th© fortune for ail,” which was supposed to be in I
that particular locality -fortbo mere picking up, is 1
not of as goldeo a nature as was anticipated.
From one of the passengers of the Chesapeake,
we learn that tbo bank in the vicinity of the Bluff,
and.for several miles North and South of ti> cootalns
large quantities of black sand, m alt of which may j
be found what u ter&ed ** scale gold,” but in par*
tides so fine as to prevent its being separated from
tho sand by the ordinary procea of washing; and
- tbat mining can only bo made profitable by tbo labor I
of well organised companies, aided by such mtebi* ]
nery or apparatus, aa will enable them to assay, or \
precipitate by acids. i
Our informant also extended his examination, to i
the Bluff, but his impressions were anything bat
satisfactory. He expresses the opinion, however,
that the asmo obstacle to success presents itself
there as in the case of the sand found upon tho beach,
and that the whole undonakiog witi ero.long be
abandoned, because of ihßexpenaeandUboratteod*
log the separation of the gold from the foreign sub*
stances with which it is found to bo bo thoroughly
mixed. ■*—
RICH GOLD DISCOVERIES.
[From the Aits California, Feb. 15 )
We had a converaation with a genilemao yoiler • i
day, upon whose word we can place tho utmost re- 1
Lance, who informed ua tbat <o immense discovery ,
of gold has lately been made upon a hill in the ?i*.i
cimty of the Mokelumn* river, which had severpre* i
vioosiy been wroeght. A party of four struck Qpoo i
the very summit, some three-weeks arneo, and, by
digging down fifteen feet, base thus lar extracted
over 84,000. The gold, although much coarser, is
similar 10 color to that found m tbo vicinity of No-;
vads, black and rustic. The gentlemen who have
been working this have bad much difficulty ia wash
ing, being obliged to convey their dirt a great dis
tance to water. The continued discoveries which
are beng made upon the hill tops are opening now
resources in the mineral wealth of California. The
idea that the gold of California bat been exhausted
jb ridiculous in (ho extreme.
QUICKSILVER MINES IN CALIFORNIA.
[From the Placer Tunas.)
It is very generally knows tbat quicksilver mines
have been worked to some extent lor msny years is
California, but until since the discovery of gold, but
little attention has been bestowod op-,o them. For
some months past, quicksilver ha* been offered in
our market, known as costing from tbo New Alma*
deo mines;
The principal mines in Califorois are the Golds
loupe sqd New Almaden, and.are sitoated in the
table neighborhood, some four miles distant from J
each other. These mines are abont eight miles Ikons <
San Jose, and can bo reached by agood road ot all <
seatods oftho year.
:W* art told that mines nr* note war kei externtve
ly,thi product amounting to moral saiUiont of dolt '
lan the present teuton, and that the yitlifrom the
oreit almost without btlitf. Eighty fiveper cent .c/
purs ouran-yii not an uncommon yield.
Qolcksilver, in working Jheailver mines efMexlco
and South Ameilca.has heretofore been required
id targe quantities, but its high pries has tended to
stop the working or many productive mines; built
is believed that theCaliforola quicksilver mines will,
when fairly opened, forolsh a supply sufficient to in
duce operations throughout Mnxico and Booth Amer
ica upon an extensive scale. The silver mines
which hsvo been abandoned, it Is presumed, will bo
re opened, sad with profit to the owners. Quick,it.
ror can be famished nt one-half the price for which
it has usually been sold, andstill losve a large profit
for those who work Ibe California minos, if we bare
been Informed correctly. This will at oace open to
coomorce the ailver mioea which have been closed;
and in addition to the gold mines of Calilorms, we
shall have from another soerco the means to
stimulate tbo commerce which is growing np on tbo
Pacific coast. ——

30, made an outragoous assault upon a ahanly on Pi
per's acclion, about fire miles cast of that placo,on
the lino ortho Baltimore & Ohio Bail Hoad. The
inmates of the shanty, consisting of six or eight men,
were at tho time asleep. But when fired upon,by
the assailants, they otvolte and retreated to the 1011,
and prepared to defend themselves. The attacking
party then tried, after firing sevaral shots into tho
roof, to set tho shanty on fire, but being unsuccess
ful In this, they resorted to tho stratagem al promts*
tng to forbear any further asaaultprovided the assail
ed would vacate tho shanty and leave the work. Re*
lying upon this promise, the latter esmo out, and the
assailants Immediately attacked them with guns, pis*
tola, clubs and stones, and beat them in the most
brutal and savogo manner. One of the assailed par*
ty, named Andrew Higens, was instantly killed by a
shot through the head; all oflho others wero badly
wounded, some two or throe mortally, it ia thought.
The Sheriff and Constables of the county started in
pursuit ot the criminals early on Wednesday morn
ing, and succeeded In .arresting seven persons sup
posed to be implicated in the affair, and lodged
them m Jail, Those outrages, (adds the Banner,)
are becoming too frequont on tho line of the Rail
Road ) and we think the suggestion which wo have
heard, not a bad one—for the country to keep an
armed police, of sufficient force, in constant resdi*
ness to meet any emergency of the kind, oa the
shortest and slightest intimation.

City of Wheeling have instituted proceedings
against the Bridge Companies of Pittsburgh, with
the intention of abating the bridges as nuisances.

NUMBER XtV.
Hxbbisbubo, March 22.
Well, my Dear Post, I mu»t give you another
letter. Since ray last we have had a variety :*of
matters before the Legislature! and some are now
behind it; that is to say, the Legislature has to*
day got ahead of the tea hour bill, which propos.
ed to extend the provisions of the law. of 1849,
relative to minors, to all minors, without regard
to sex or condition, by an Indefinite postponement i
in the Honse. 1 They have also got a little ahead i
of the bill to re-annex the county of Montour to |
the county of Columbia, by refusing to proceed i
to a second reading, by a vote of 14 to 12. This
bill may, however, redeem itselLbefore the close
of the session, butjust now there is a terror in the
ranks of its friends. They are also ahead of the
old banking system, with all its friends. This has
been brought about by making the free banking
bill the order of the day for Monday next, and a
refusal on the part of the friends of-the new.sys
tem to grant any charters under tbs old one.—
This drives the interested ones under the present
: system, who want charters, into a support of the.
free system, as a last and only hope. The Legis
lature has, also, (or once, got ahead of Philadel
phia selfishness, by passing, through the Senate, a
bill to charter the Susquehanna - Railroad Com*
pany, for the benefit of Pennsylvania, by a vote
on its final passage of 21 yeas to S.nays, while it
has been long known that the bill would readily
pass the other branch, if it could be once fairly
before it.- This is the most important bill of the
session,*in point of importance to the commercial
interests of the commonwealth. Having already,
however, given you an account of this bill up to
its second reading, l will not enlarge on* the
subject. Lost of ell, the Legislature is ahead of
itself, or at least, the House is now ahead of the
Senate, having passed some two hundred bills up.
on which the Senate have not acted,: and opon
many of which they never wilt. The existence
of the private calendar arrangement in the Home
has done mnch in producing this result.-while, nt
the same time, the Senate has been blocked (or a
month in all other business, by the consideration
of the free banking law, and. the Snsquehanna
Railroad Bill; bnt tbs House will have its own
lime with these bills, end the Senate can: regain
herself in a measure.
The bill for the establishment of a department
of education, passed finally in the House this
morning- This is an excellent and fflach needed
measure, end it will probably pass the Senate* in
a few days. ■ ■
Tonr townsman, Col. John P,. Glass, arrived
this morning, much to the delight of bis numer
ous and warm friends in this place. The Colonel
is a sterling clever fellow.
As ever, faithfully, &c. FRANKLIN.
