Dear Sister: You will observe, by the heading of my biter, that I am still in thi place, where the renowned Fort of Capt. Sutter, which U-llowtd forth its lltunders in by gone days, is situated. The great r.id saw mill, belonging to the person when the gold was first dis uwrtd, is if.ia:al ab..u. 4-i mile irom this place, and the name and place will be remembered as long as goia is ieuna in California. This place is increasing with the most ristonishing rapidity. A lilile more than a year ago there were- not three frame houses in this place. Nw the principal business street is something more than one mile in length. Mmy of the stores would do credit to our Citiesat home, and range in size of from sixty to onehuodred (eet 13 depth. Vessels of large tonnage can come up to this place direct Irom the states. The river has quite the appearance of a ea-port. We have steam boats in any quantity, and some of them of very large size, and elegant accommodations. From nts piace me n.er is navgauie ,or a smaller class of boats for something like I 200 miles. We have no less than two ! Theatres and a Circus, and a very large ! and splendid concert room. '' n,s room ' j 130 feet deep, by 40 in breadth, so that j you observe we do things upon a larj;e -L- -i . - il. r scale here. I San Francisco has been almost literally burnt up since last January. No less than three most destructive fires have taken place since then. This will always be the case as long as they continue to build frame houses, in consequence of high winds that j ... . . . . i. ' prevail there during the wnote year. i- j tween the tires, and reckless speculations that many persons were engaged in, ihe town is pretty well used up.

It requires a large capital to do business here, and the competition is so great that the profits here are nearly as small as they are at home, for all leading articles. Profits therefore depend much upon the amount of sales, and that takes a large capital. When one is ordinarily successful, mining is one of the pleasant est employments a person can ensaga in. There will he a vast deal of gold taken out this summer. Persons are becoming more skilled in searching and finding it. One can find gold anywhere in the gold region, even up lo the tops of the highest mountains, hut it witl nit in all cases pay for working it. In some localities you can not wash a basin of dirt, taken at random, without finding some grains of gold. John and I have purchased a share in El Dorado City at a thousand dollars. It is a new towu, laid out on Feather river in the mining region, and is accessible for steam I oats nine months in a year. We though: we might ns well try our luck in a little spec- ulation as' not, J'verv person seems dis- pcsel to engage m that kind of business, and as all the world is coming to Califor nia, Tarn in hopes thai we mav realize something out of our speculation. We hive a great many arrivals here every day. It is supposed that the resident population is from right to ten thousand, and the transient population from three to four thousand. It is not an unusual thing to have arrivals of a thousand persons iu a day. Living is much better here than you woulJ imagine.

It was so stated in the lust New York Herald. It was some thing new to hear of this, in this region. No person here had even heard of any such thing ; and I do not think a dozen men in California could he found who would advocate any such thing ; and il they did openly do it, their hides might be very speedily covered with a coat of tar and feathers. As for any thing like dis affection to the Union and the establish ment of an independent government. I have not heard the first word. As to the south being able to introduce slavery hnrr is too utterly absurd to spend time in talk- ing about. There have been instances of slaveholders biinging slaves here to work in the mines. Hut the consequence has been, that when those chaps brought their slaves into the diggings, they received no tire to quit, and that notice, had always to be obeyed to the letter.

A Subscriber. ADDRESS. Finding it out of my power, in conse quence of prior and indispensable engage ments, to be present at the meeting appoin ted to beheld at Hollidaysburg, on tlie25lh inst.,on the subject of Cotton Manufactures, permit me to address you through tho me dium of an epistolary correspondence. On the subject of Cotton Manufactures, there is, at the present day, but one opin ion among those who are acquainted with business, and that is, that when prosecuted under the direction of the proper skill, with I good machinery, and a good share of pru- ldenceaiideconomv.it is more productive than almost any other industrial pursuit in thiscountrv. "A glance at the present con-' anion oi ii:w r.uiunu, compared wiin what it was forty or fifty yenrs since, is l-.' c V. t.-..l 1 , -.1 ' sufficient proof of the truth of this state ment, if we had no o:her at hand. But the individual fortunes that have been built up by it. and the earnestness with which experienced manufacturers make new in- j vestments, and thus continue constantly to exiend their operation, afford evidence of j the fact nof to be resisted. True economy in the employment of la bor and capital, is the great point to be considered in all plans and projects lo cn rich a community, or an individual. To be most productive, they mut be applied lo the most profitable use. A capitalist may loan his money to the trader, and the trader, after having paid the interest, may ! have a hanJsome profit left for himself, Hut these two men only accumulate wealth, They create nothing. The entire basis of their fortunes, is the produce of the la scneines to me enu oi time; and, tnougn they might accumulate much weailh that j communities, altogether agricultural, or al others had created, they would not of j together something el-e, which seem to themselves, create as much as tlo value of j think that, lo change would amount to a bushel of wheat. j sacrilege ; and who keep on in the old bea- The merchant and the capitalist are use j (en track, as a boy would continue to turn ful, in their places ; for, though they ere-j a grindstone alter the tool was ground, till ate no wealth, I hey serve, one as the rhan- their business is entirely overdone, and nel of exchange, and the other as the foun- prolit-ceased to be rculizcd. tain of the medium of exchange ; and thus, Hut I have no doubt you have plenty of the industrial classes, who create the wealth spare capital for new enterprises. Nor by the labors of their hands, are enabled . have I any more doubt, that you have ma lo make sales and purchases with all desi- j ny capablcof laboring, and willing to la- rable facility, with less trouble, at a small- er expense ol time, and to greater advant age, than they otherwise coulJ. The firmer creates wealth. F.very movement of his, is a part of the process of making not accumulating .something which did not exist befoie. Mis luxuriant fields, clothed in the rich, golden garb of. the harvest months, exhibits the fruits of, his toil. -Theirs are rich stores of wealth wealth necessary to human comlorl, and to human existence wealth that all the money in the world could not produce wealth which could not be created by all the learned professions that ever existed and produced only by the sweat ol the brow, and the toils of the body cf labo sious industry. The mechanic is also a creator of wealth. Money is his inducement, and his reward; but it is his labor, under the direction of mechanical skill, which alone imparts new value lo the materials which pass through his hands. As a striking instance of the value to l he materials by the handsof labor, lake an example, the article of sewing nee dles. Think of the enormous quantity of these minute, though necessary articles, constantly distributed throughout the civil ized world tliink of the great value of one ton weight of steel manufactured into that form, and ol the very small value of the ore from whicli that ton of steel was made! And almost the entire amount of the differ- j ence between the original value of the iron ore as it rested in the bowels the earth, and ' object to all these, to be fully and profita the value of a ton of needles, is so much bly employed. It is a great object to the wealth created by labor alone. What I have said on the subject of the manufacture of sewing needles, is true, in a measure, of all other productions of la bor and mechanical skill. 1 he rarpenter. ,he cMni:i.muleri ,he tilior ,he boot nd shoe-maker, and every other laboring man, j creates just so much weahh, by the labor! of his hands, as the product is worth more than the materials, aftei deducting the in j terest of ihe capital invested in the business, r. . from the premises thus assumed, we hw imporlnnt facls. ,. As labor is the creator of wealth, it should be economized, and emplojed to the best ad vantage, to make it as productive as pos sible. 2. It should be as generally knownas possible ; because, all unemployed persons capable of performing labor, suffer, to themselves, the waste of what they might earn, capitalists miss of the profits they might make from their labors, and the community suffers the loss of the aggregate wealth they might ihereby rreate. 3. From the lack of employ ment, idleness, vice, and dissipation, arc either encouraged or promoted, and poverty, indigence, pauper ism, and crime, are very certain to follow in the train. From what has been said above it is ve ry evidently the interest and the duty of all who have the means, to aid in any at tempt that may promise success, to erect establishments, and encourage and aid the prosecution of business, intended and cal culated to furnish full, constant, and profit able employment lo the laboring classes. It is ihe interest of all, because, by such means, those who lend their aid, are moral ly certain lo reap at least a reasonable profit. It is the interest of all, as a com munity, because, by it, habits of industry are inculcated and promoted ; the poor placed in a condition to support themselves without the aid of pauper taxes ; vice and crime consequently diminished ; the wealth and importance of the community enhan ced, and the population and business in creased. It is the duty of all who have the means, to aid in such ah'etiterprise.be cause humanity demands their efforts to better the condition of the poor because the riches of the wealthy are the products of the labors of such, and who should not be left to suffer and because every one who has the power, should put forth his efforts for the upbuilding and prosperity of the community of which he is a member. Suppose your capital were all invested, and your labor fully employed. .The ques tion aiises, are they devoted to the most profnab'e pursuits pursuits which offer the hih -st w ages to I he laboring classes, and the greatest returns to the employer .-lid the community ? If not, then a por tion of that capital and labor slioulJ be withdrawn, and opplicd to somo other ob ject. The wages of labor is a tolerably - ! correct ciiterion ol judgment in this matter ; auct accordingly. Jiut there are many bor, provided there was a suitable field opened for the application of their industri al powers, either but partially employed.or not employed at all. Please to look around you each one w horn I now address. Let each call to mind every Jaboring man in his knowledge, who, for want of employ- ment, is idle any days in the year. Let each one call to mind every laboring man in his knowledge, who, rather than be idle,' labors-for a compensa'ion hardly sufficient to meet the demands of nature (or the me rest necessaries of life. Having collected these in his mind's eye, then let him take another look, and add lo the number all fe males who would be glad of respectable employment, but who can not obtain it ; and of girls and boys fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen years of age, now a burthen to their parents, and w ho, had they the oppor tunity, would earn for tnemselves a com fortable livelihood. And all these persons, besides doing well for themselves, would add to the wealth of the community, all that their labors would create. All of you who have taken this survey, and have combined in the .aggregate the results of your individual inquiries, I can not entertain a doubt, have assembled a very considerable company of persons, of the descriptions I have named Some, from the want of employment, idle a por tion of the time, and others again doing nothing to any purpose, or at least to very little profit. It certainly must be a great community to possess the wealth they might create, and to keep them from indi gence and vice ; and to capitalists and business men, for the profits to be realized from the pursuits in w hich they might be employed Do you ask, in what branch of business these persons can be employed 1 My re- ply is I know ol none to which persons can so readily become accustomed, or' in whicli they can be so constantly employed. or employed to so much advantage to them- l i ... r .i ...r r r .,... selves, as III llc iimiiiuiui:iuic ui vyu.iuii. The labors oflhe cotton mill are light, and impose but a light tax on the physical powers oflhe operatives ; and yet they are always able to earn a comfortable liveli hood. And one very important conside ration is. that Ihe company of operatives in a coiton mill are, in great part, made up of those, who, without the mill, would earn crease of cotton manufactory s, there little or nothing; they being principally j takes place, of necessity, an increase of females, and the younger class of females, population ; at least, when all the resident Those acquainted with the general condi-j population have been brought fully into lion of the laboring classes, need not bo re- j employ ment. With every new mill, there minded of the great relief that would be ' must be an additional company of mana extended lo them, by providing full and jgers, overseers, and operatives; and the profitable employment for that portion of labors of all these go to swell the aggregate them I named, and who now mainly de- amount of wealth in the community, while pend on the labors of otheis for support, their earnings minister to their own wants, With those to whom I address, the ques- and enrich their employers, tion will now very naturally suggest itself, Besides the above, the manufacturing supposing the working classes to be so greatly benefitted by carrying out the con templated enterprise for the manufacture of cotton in this placa, or vicinity ; in what way, and to what extent, are correspond ing benefits to accrue lo capitalistsjarmers, traders, &cc. who invest their money in the buisness, or be in any way connected with it? To this query, I will attempt a brief and simple reply. To those who feel disposed to furnish funds for such a purpose, permit me to say, and that too from my own knowledge and experience in the business, no investment can he made more safe, or more certain to make the return of a handsome profit, than that made in a first rate cotton mill, placed under good management. A bad mill, like every other bad establishment, is bul of little value ; and a good one may run its owners in debt, under a course of bad management. Business sometimes fluctu ates, too; and, in the dull seasons, which sometimes occur, profits will of course be reduced. But, la take it on the whole, and in the long run, 1 am bold to say, there is no business iu which money can be invested, besides this, which, provided . ishing, inrluiJnall v.tlie amount ol taxation, this be properly conducted, -will pay so Ot these facts. New England farmers are large an interest on the capital employed, i fully aware ; hence, they give ail the en The last year has been the hardest one ' couragement in their poer lo manii.'adur known to manufacturers in this country ing establishments ; and well they may do for more than a quarter ol a century, ad jso; for by thrm.tu manufacturing districts, yet, even during that time, I can point the value of their real estate has been in you to manufacturing companies hrch creased at least one hundred per cent., have divided profits at the rate of ten per cent, per annum, and tome even more. Dull as those years have been, and much as profits have been curtailed, the confi dence of old manufacturers remains unim paired, as appears from the fact that mill ions of dollars have been and are being in vested in new undertakings of the kind. This would Dot be done, unless those who make the investments, were morally cer tain of a successful result. I have not the leisure nor would this bei the nroner mode and lime, to enter into details relative to the exact cost and profits of manufacturing, but this I will venture to say should you embark in the business, you will be so well satisfied with the re- mained poor without it. In short, manu- I are the reu.t of long personal e.ericnce suit, that two years from the time of com-1 facturers have, more than any other inte- j and observation. Connect with your en mencing operations will not have passed, 'est, made New England what she is; and ' tcrprise sound judgment, mechanical skill, before you will wonder and regret that you had not commenced many years since. A cotton mill of teq. thousand spindles, for instance, will, with a sufficient amount ol working capital, cost about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. After having been about two years in operation, and paying everv hem of cxpense.labor except - ed, it will I found to have returned its full cost to the community. In other words. a community with a capital of two hundred I have stated. Their first cotton mill was and fifty thousand dollars, may, in two ( an experiment ; but it has proved an ex years, or at most in two and a half yenrs, pertinent so successful, that it has become by means ol labor alone employed in the manufacture of cotton goods, enhance that amount to five hundred thousand. May I inquire, by means of what other industrial operations cau that lie done ! Of tho nett proceeds of the operations of. the cotton mill, you need not be told that the owners will command a full share, in Ihe shape of profits sometimes ten per cent, sometime twenty per cent., and some times even more than that ; but the entire amount is in the community ; that com munity will be enriched by so much and its circulation through all Ihe chanels ot basincss, of every description, can not fail to wieldja very powerful influence on every descriptiou nnd'department, to give them increased energy and vigor and great ly to promoteathe general prosperity. It requires neither methodical proofs nor labored arguments, to show that the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars , distributed in a community like yours oncej in two years, and that sum the product of labor alone, must be productive of a great and salutary effect. But more especially would it be so, when we take into the ac- count the very important fact, that at least j no particular facilities for the business, ex-two-thirds of the whole amount will belcept water power. The manufacturer had produced by the labors of young women, I girls, and boys, now probably entirely unproductive, or producing but very little. With such an increase of capitol from time to lime, of course there would follow I a corresponding increase of business. When moneyed men had found that capi tal could be so well employed, their gains would not long be suffered to remain idle, and the earnings of one mill would be ta ken to build another, and so on ; in the same way as the manufacturers have done in Lowell, and in a muliitudc of other pla places. In consequence of the in- 'business, as it increases, brings in its train other important accessions. The carpen ter, the mason, the blacksmith, the machin ist, &c, all necessary to the manufacturer, and to those connected with the business ol the mill are equally necessary, the gro cer the butcher, the baker,tbe dealer in dry goods, the tailor, the boot and shoe-maker, and a hoat of others. As a consequence, the additional wants thus creating additio nal demands, every species of business must be augmented in the same ratio, while the increasing amount of wealth, must im part to it great additional life and activity, as well as prosperity. But of all the various callings, there is no man in the community who is more di rectly or largely benefited by manufactur ers than the farmer The more of a suc cessful and lucrative business there is pros ecuted in his neighborhood, and the more oflhe people engaged in manufacturing and mechanical' pursuits, the more exten sive will his home msrket become, and the better his prices. Not only so, but the increase of wealth and population have a tendency to lighten his burdens, by dimin- wniie me manuutctunn property among them, is made to bear its dje proportion ol the public expenses. Many agricultural counties in New England might be named, possessing soils originully ol inferior qual ity, and some thirty years since, poor in point of weaith and population, which, having become manufacturing districts, have greatly improved their agricultural charac ter, while they have nearly or quite qua J ruplfd their population and wealth. In fuel, manufacturing has operated in New England a9 a magic wanti ; and it has called up many millions of wealth which would not have exis'eJ without it. it has enriched thousmd who would have .re you need not be itiformed that she has a high reputation for industry and enterprise; her population are well educated and well informed,and in possession of much wei.lih; i while comparatively little of extreme pov- erty is known an.cng them.

Results fully : equal to these anticipation, hnve followed the introduction and prosecuiion of lhejStll,e. Its population is nearly One Mimo., manufacturing business in many of the -of The princmai l0WDS are as fc.j. New England villages, same of which, and j iows . not a lew euner, nave grown up to large important towns and cities ; and why, by the same process and the aptlication of I the same or similar means, should not the city of Lancaster experience the same de gree of growing prosperity ? Tnere is no reason, obvious to me, to prcven' it. If others are so eminently successful, in the prosecution of the manufacture ofcotton goods, why should not equal success be an ticipated by Ihe cittz-ns of your borough and county ? And what, there, should pre vent that success, more than in other pla ces! The manufacturing cities, towns, and villages, at the east, had originally his mill and dwellings to erect, and his machinery, his coiton &c , and even his operatives, to procure from abroad ; and I his manufactured article to send abroad for ! a market. You are placed on equal foot ing with him to say the least, and have a decided advantage in the cost oPirgricuttu- j ral products. Being in the neighborhood of an extensive and an inexhaustible coal region, and with plenty of water on every I nana, jouare more than equal.m respect of these elements, to the manufacfurer of the east. Wut :r power, there, is scarce and dear. Coal commands a high price. Therefore, whether you apply wa'er or steam, your motive power will not prob ably cost you more than one half as much as either cosls in New England, and this is a very important item ol reduction in the table of expenses. In the last list of items including buildings, machinery, cot ton transportation, Ac &c, no one will j cost more than the same would cost in New England, and some of them would probably cost less.

There ibey have to build villages, lay out streets and roads, and procure operatives at a distance. In a borough, town, or cify, ihe outlay for . these is not required, inasmuch as the manufacturer, in such a case, has all these furnished to his hand. An objection is sometimes raised to the first introduction of the manufacturing business in a place, on the ground of anti cipated difficulty in obtaining the necessary qjalified help. How, says the objector, shall the people here, who have never seen a cotton spindle, know how to guide the op erations of a mill? and how are operatives to be obtained 1 Thesameobjection would have held good anywhere, in the incipient stages of manufactures ; but it rests en the k,wt.c. fuhru. of a a niinn. THa difficult V of this nature has tver occurred, and not e 1 ever will occur. . The business of guiding the operations of the machinery of a Colto mil, is extremely simple in itself, and a knowledge of it is readily acquired in a very short lime. Take persi ns who have no arquain'ance with il whatever, nr.d un der the instruction and direction o'. a few experienced hands, easy to be obta4std at any time, they will, in the course of a. few weeks, become an efficient company of operatives. Such has been the experience of the manufacturers at Lancaster, who.' two or three years since, situated precisely as you are in this respect, have long been sending to market, at a handsome profit, goods of supeiior quality, manufacluied by operatives, not one in sis of whom perhaps had, three years since, ever seen a power loom or a cotton spindle. Such gentlemen are the remarks whicli I leel fuly justified in offering you at this time, in rela'ion tojour contemplated er-terpri-e. They are founded, not on bear- - t say, nor on sircu alive conjecture. lUf j and practical experience, all of which ' 'either have, crcan readily command, and j bring to your aidpruden:e and ecuuoim , ! and you can hardly fail of success.
