letter which send to you al this time, in relation
(nthe gold mines of this country, 1 have little
more lo say upon lha( topic at present ; and that
lillln relate to the ellect nt these discoveries upon

It is impossible lo give ymi a fair idea of the
insuperable dilliciillie.s we all line! with in any
busine-H which we art! called upon to do. lean
best ellect this, however, by stating facts for your
information. I have just completed the repairs
upon a (Joveriiment lighter, preparatory to ilis
chaiging the cargo of the transport ship Huntress.
I attempted to hire a lighter to ellect this, but
could not get one capable of containing one hun
dred ami twenty barrels, manned by two men,
short of (illy dollars per day. I have had Ihe mas
ter of the Government lighter employed for sev
eral days in getting a crew for her ; and when he
ofli rs eighty dollars per month for sailors, he H
laughed at, and told that a man can get that a
mount in the mines in one day! A few days
since, I sent a wagon-master to employ some men
to handle stores in the public warehouse. After
searthing about the town, in vain, fur several
hours lit saw a man on Ihe deck whom he felt
sure of letting, for llie individual in ipies'ion did

The Wild Woods Free.
BY. J. T. QUIsFNUtHnT.
Some love to ride on the billowy tide,
Far, far out at sea ;
Hut give me the home where oft I can roam
In the wild woods free.
t, let me go where the buck and the don
Pound over Ihe lea,
And wild lloweis are seen adorning the green ;
'Tis l In place for ine.
Yet, I mii"t own I would not he alone
hi the wild wood- lice,
If I could persne some lovely maid
To ramble with me.
