VOYAGE ROOM SAN FRANCISCO TO SACRAMENTO
'aving made all preliminary arrangements
on Monday the 14th of April, before nine o'-
clock in trs morning I had everything on board
the steamboat El Dorado hound _tor Sacramen
to city, about nob hundred and seventy miles
distant. I airs now writing from El Dorado
county, but havcsot yet described my journey
hither. Arnine oselock.the.fireulen_led up the
engrilte end soon after we left San Francisco
end roved across the Bay. I think there must
have been about one hundred eases of yellow
freer en board, myself included, all inpatient
to reach the gold mines.
The ha p presented a beautiful appearance;
, ~ .......
the atmosphere was as clear, as crystal, ad that
the horizon drily limited our vision. We went
at the rate of about eight miles an hour, and
could see San Francisco until it seemed to -
hang like a picture in the distanco. On our
way We:Pilawd close to Bird Island, that place
almost fatal to our company, where the old
ship Arkansas was wrecked, and lay beating
on the rock's and groaning under the winds
arid ruin of the bloste'ring 19th of December
- nut we did put go quite amear those
perilous reefs this time, and soon alter passing
them we found ourselves upon the entrance of
another' fine say..lndeed :until six o'clock, P.
M.rwe did nothing but pass through a contin
uous series of bays, sometimes looking upon
the .landscapea which stretched theniselyes out
on either side in native beauty and wlldnesh r
and then again as we, would enter upon' those
broad sheets of water. we would bid adieu for
awhile to the scenerY of the shores. So we went
on until.we come into the largest bay of all,
San Pueblo. In crossing thin hey we could see
no land whatever, except in OM or two direc
tions, and it was visible Only., in dim..oulline,
and loelting like the first faint sketch of a
drawing master's. picture. At length we, ran
in toward the land; when lo the left we saw the
,risk end fast-growing little yankee village of.
Benicia.., At this place we stopped fifteen min
utes, and it Would have Made you laugh, to
have , seen the ,running, and springing out of
doors, to get the papers froni the States ho WO
neared the docks of that-place. There were a
bout tiventOessele lying at anchor around the
eity., , ,,This place, it is supposed will in a few
years he the rival ofSanFranciseo; tt ie hero
that our government has five hundred Well
trained soldiers; under the command of Colonel
Stephens, and this lathe thief Military station
, in California. •
The vaioeh
Thit country titiout hero is not fenced 'in af
ter the manner of that around our towns and
cities at home ; but nature's own Jorge held is
here, just as God made it with the gieen velvet
gross springing up, enriching and adding beau
ty to the scene. But I mist .now, travel on
ward, that I,moy reach Sacramento city. Tha
steamboat is off alain'and we arc moving out
'once more intolhe boy of San Pueblo. We
had not left more than on hour, when we saw
the wreclenf a large sailboat, and as WO
.near._
•ed it we saw that it had been upset. There it
'lay bottom upward' with seven pool men luingi ,
jug around it In the /Cold, water.. Iloty heartily
they hailed us, and'how &ad they, were when
they •saw : the. sympathy:felt , on our boat for
them!. As we drew near ~ t han; our Captain
sent otit a small boat-which took -off four - al

On a fine point of land, that New .Y'cirlt is sati
ated. Around this place lay eight or ten yes;
sell. The first. named river on right Is the
pours() to Stockton, and the Southern mines ;-
the last on the loft leads to a city of the
,arnue
name and to the Northern minert; which
place I am now bound in the El Dorado,
mg as yet got no further than Now York. So
We turned an angle to the left, and nt last en
tered the mouth of, Rio Sacramento, prlldii
the shades of night come on. 'tut tho' stars
shone out to Perfection as if to illumine with a
Hood of golden light this country in which the
fortunes of millions lie. But the river Sacra-. ,
mento•is one of the rivers. It is scarcely .as
broad as our creek at hetnei and preserves , lts
breadth aimed ton fraction the .whole wny.—
From the instant we struck into this river, no
scenery, no hills. not even the country itself
could be seen, for both aides were planted so
thickly with trees on the !ellel ground os to pre
sent a complete barrier to the vision. The riv
er Wee swollen very much and its wuterit were
almost on a level witplts batiks the whole
,wny,
in the evening I took a view from the prome
nade deck, and there we were, close to the
shore - , - the - boughs of the - trees hanging over us,
and it seemed that a step would hove landed
any one upon the bank. Sometimes_ on -one
side, soinetimet on the other, ccnrccly crei•
_were we in the middle of the stream. 'Bed limo
had conic, and nvan yankee ettough to secure
among the first, a good location for -my
ing and dreaming annotates. On a fine not
hogany bench I fixed eyerythins for- the night-
And in Mill an hour. after I had retired every
available place was taken up, besidessome that
were not uvailable,-or rather sonic in which the
candidates for the land of Nod had to do an el
ephants do, that is niece standing. All the
Hoer was covered with bunks, and human „be
ings seemed-to lie as thick and closely packed
as mackerel in a berrel. By morning we were
about twenty miles from Sacramento city . At
last at eight o'clock' we saw the masts of ves
sels, but no city on account bf the trees. In
deed 'tin one of the look ingylaces fat
the alto of a city, the town having grown up sb
fast that the banks appear quite fresh ; along
which the trees rear their lofty heads, en,that
it almost seemed like a fairy tale to belie'vt; that
ruck a largo city-Wan ilianted among theM, 4 —
flow singular it was tt see about two hundred
and fifty vessels Strung along the bank ;or near
a mile, With their Marts reaching up, among
the leafy boughs of . the trees. If-a city were to
he built_ up on the shores of the Canodeghitret by,
vir us of- Alladin's tt7onderlul lamp in some
level field whore the stream would run bank
full, you would hove a slight specimen of, Salt ,
rnmento city. It is very fine to talk about sail. 7
_ing_in boats at home, hut hare (tat idea of h00,, g
a bout ride for pleasmc would be ridiculous, for
- some of th'e folks who live in houses alono:tlip
banks have to tali° boat rides to and from their
houses, and if there is an-extra ria-O\ in the river
'they arc reduced Or:rather, efeedleitto the no
enmity of making their exit-from second story
windoivrt, generally jto transact their [Mahler,
but sometimeslo nave their lives. , It is odd c
-sough to see houses standing in Btu water so
'deep as to compel the-inmetedto live the
second floor. .-The Water is nosi ;tiniest entire
ly out of city ; Mit still the streets are very
muddy, end in -many places there arc pools and
liuddleti,''so that 'the crosaings 'nye made by
boards raised by. stakes. I•
The city is now at the capons° Of having
