OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS.
biteresting.-Callforuin Gold.
Extract of a letter from Thomas
Larkin, Esq., late consul, and now navy
agent, of the United States, to the Sec
retary of State, dated at Monterey, No
4ember 16th, 1848, and received in this
City on Friday evening last.
"The digging and.,washing for gold
Coiitinues to increase on the Sacramen
to placer, so far as regards the number
of persons engaged in business, and the
size and quantity of the metal daily ob
tained. I have had in my hands sever.'
al pieces of gold, about twenty-three
Carats fine, weighing from one to two
pounds, and have it from good authority
that pieces have been found weighing
sixteen pounds. Indeed, I have heard
of one specimen that weighed twenty
liVe pounds. '1 here are many men at
the placer, who in June last had not one
hundred dollars, now in possession of
horn five to twenty thousand dollars,
which they made by digging gold and
trading with the Indians. Several, I
believe, have made more. A common
Calico shirt; or even a silver dollar, has
been taken by an Indian for gold, with
out regard td site ; and a half to one
ounce of gold—say $8 to $l6 —is now
considered the price of a shirt, while
from three to ten ounces is the price of
a blanket. One hundred dollars a day
for several days iii succession was and
is considered a ecmmon remuneration
for the labor of a gold-digger, though
few work over a month at a time, as the
fatigue is very great. From Yttly to
October one-half of the gold hunters
have been afflicted either with the gigue
and fever or the intertnitent fever, and
twenty days absence from the placer
during those months is necessary to es
cape these diseases. There have not,
however, been many fatal cases. The
gold is now sold, from the smallest
imaginary piece in size to pieces of one
pound in weight, at $l6 per troy ounce
for all the purposes of commerce; but
those who are under the necessity of
raising coin to pay duties to the gov
ernment are obliged to accept from $lO
to $t 1 per ounce. All the coin in Cali
fornia is likely to be locked up in the
custom-house, as the last tarifi of our
Congress is in force here in regard to
• the receipt of money.
"Could you know the value of the
California placer, as I know it, you
R would think you had been instrumental
in obtaining a most splendid purchase
for our country, to put no other con
struction on the late treaty.
':The placer i 3 known to be two or
three hundred miles long ; and ns dis
coveries tire constantly being made, it
may prove 1,000 miles in length—in
fact, it is, not counting the intermediate
miles, yet unexplored. From five to
ten millions of gold must be our export
this and next year. How many more
years this state of things will continue,
- I cannot say. You may wonder why I
..continue my correspondence 1 I an
swer, from habit, and your many re
marks of the interest you take in my
letters."
WAR DEPARTMENT.
MONTEREY, (Cal.,) Oct. 23, 1848
GENERAL : I arrved hero on the 18th
• inst., front San Diego, and have paid the
four companies of ie Ist New York
, regiment in full, and they have all mar
* ted for the gold mines. The three com
-1 panics• composing the command of Lt.
Col. Burton are now here, and will be
mustered out to,' - ty or to-morrow, and
: paid by Major Hill immediately, as the
residents are extremely anxious to get
rid of them ; they have the place in
• their power. Nearly all the men of
company "F," 3d artillery have deser
ted. We have the Ohio, Warren, Dale,
Lexington and Southampton in port ;
• but they cannot land a man, as they de
o. scrt us soon as they set foot on shore.
The only thing the ships could do in
case of an outbreak, would be to fire up.
on the town. The volunteers at Santa
Barbara, Los Angelos, &c., behaved
t very well—no murmuring or difficulties
i of any kind with them ; they complain
`
ed that they were not allowed travelling
4 allowance.
The funds from Mazatlan have at last
*l • reached here : the amount is $130,000.
It arrived very opportune'y, as we have
expended nearly all we had. The amount
is a great deal more than will be requir
•ed, as there are at present but two corn
panies in California—one of Ist dra
,:loroons, the other of 3d artillery ; the
latter reduced to a mere skeleton by de
seruon, and the former in a fair way to
share the seine fate. I should suppose
•'520,000 would be sufficient to pay the
&present force, (provided the companies
„,./ are filled up) for a year. Treasury notes
are good for nothing now; bills on the
United States could not be negotiated on
any terms. Gold dust can be purchased
for eight or ten dollars the ounce, and it
is said to be worth $lB in the United
States: consequently, all remittances
are made in it.
IP Col. Mason, and most of the army of
ficers, are at Fort Sutter. Commodore
Jones thinks it would be very impru
dent to bring the public funds‘on shore,
except in such sums as may be requir
/A for imrsedil.e use. Ile'doe , not like
to leave a ship here, on account of the
difficulty of keeping the men. * *
The gold fever rages as bad as ever,
and the quantity collected has not di
minished but increa9ed. Provisions,
clothing, and all the necessaries of life,
are at most exorbitant prices. Living
was always expensive iii this country,
but now it passes all reason—board four
dollars per day, washing five to six dol
lars per dozen. Merchants' clerks are
receiving from $l,BOO to $3,0U0 per an
num salary ! What the government will
do for civil officers ) I do not know. Sal
aries will have to correspondent with
the times. The pay of Governors,
Judges, &c., as allowed in the U. States,
, will hardly. compare with that paid to
salesmen and shop clerks here.
I am, sir, respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

More Gold ! More Gold !
The New York Tribune publishes the follow
ing extraordinary letter, which it says is from
a source worthy of entire confidence:
MAZATLAN, Dec. 19, 184.8
There is a late arrival from California,
bringing intelligence that a region of
gold, richer than any yet known, has
been discovered, north of the former
placer.
The Lexington, store ship, was to
leave for the United Stutes : when this
vessel left, she had on board about
$500,000 in gold dust for the United
States.
I have accidently met hero to-day a
young man very recently from San Fran
cisco, where he is engaged in businens,
having been a year or two in California,
and been over the Gold region, though
not as a laborer ; he confirms even the
moat extravagant of the accounts we
have recently had of the richness of the
placer, particularly as to the new Gold
Region
MAYSVILLE, Jan. 24.
The St. Louis Daily Organ says that
it is reported that gold has been found
in large quantities on the Rocky Moun
tains.
Mr. Benton on California and the
Gold Region.
WAsnixaToN, Jan. 15.
Mr. Benton made a very interesting
speech in the Senate in explanation of
his substitute for the settlement of land
titles in the acquired territory. Mr. B.
has struck early and nobly, 1 think, for
the maintenance of the rights of the
settlers in the new territory. His just
apprehension is, that the people left in
California and New Mexico will suffer
severely from harpies, antes§ strongly
protected by the General Government.
' He proposes in his plan a complete
geographical and political division be
tween New Mexico and California, a dif
ferent system of local government, suited
to the people of the respective countries,
and without inconvenience.
Mr.. B. alluded to the Gold Mines, and
said they were mere abbrasures of rocks,
the washings of mountains, mere min
eral washings. They would pass ofl as
soon as possible, and it was idle to at
tempt to sell the fee simple of these
washings. There were in New Mexico
many of these gold " placers" which
yielded not more than 25 or 50 cents a
day, but they were worked for what they
would bring. In Brazil, gold has been
found in beds of creeks, ravines and al
luvial soils washed out. From these
Brazil washes $10,000,000 had been ta
ken to Europe.
The gold was worked out by slaves,
and the masters were accustomed to give
them all they got above a certain quan
tity, so that they bought their own free
dom, and after buying that they bought
slaves and worked the mines themselves.
But all this gold had disappeared. It
was only remembered from the reading
of books, as the gold mines of Califor
nia would soon be drained and forgotten.
The sooner it was done, in his judgment,
the better.
There might be a great quantity of
gold, but the idea of a minimmn value
to gold was no absurdity. There was
but one way for the government to de
rive a benefit from the mines, and that
was from permits and the coinage.
It was idle to exclude mineriil lands
from sale. The country was all mineral.
%% hat was not gold was something else.
He belonged to the school cf Montesgeiu,
.and believed that gold mines tended to
impoverish the people. He regretted to
say anything which tended to increase
attention to this subject, but it was ne
cessary to make headway against the
bill before the Senate, and to do this ho
was obliged to reveal things which he
would be glad not to lay before the Sen
ate.
He went for the iron and copper, with
which New Mexico abounded, and
though they were plenty enough, yet the
ploughs used were of wood. Beyond
the Sierra Neuvuda, out toward Oregon
and the Sacramento, they were called by
the Government Geologist, under Capt.
Wilkes, "Gold Bearing Rocks." The
pebbles thrown up by volcanoes, washed
off and borne down, gave indications of
gold. There was a country beginning
in Lower Mexico, and going towards
and to California, of 2000. It was more
than the Ural Mountains, which extend
ed but for 1200 miles, and higher,. as
the Sierra Neuvada run up 12,000 feet,
while the Ural Mountains were only
5(10 or 64,0.
He was for the most rapid extermina-
tioe of these metals, and for relieving
the population from the delirium and
gangrene of this gold fever. He would
send a menagerie of wild animals to
scratch it up and waste it, if he could.—
The whole country was infected, and
'.even the War Department had not es
caped the infection. He hoped the Sen
ate of the United States would keep its
I perpendicularity.
He wanted the mines ravaged, and no
other regulating laws than to keep the
people there from destroying each other,
and out of each other's holes, [immense
laughter.] He wanted merchants, tra
ders, farmers and mechanics to go there,
and the gold to be used in the legitimate
purposes of trade and commerce. He
only held one thing worse than these
gold mines, and that was small bank
notes, [great laughter.]
It was idle for the government to en
ter into this gold speculation, and she
government should not attempt it. Laws
I should not be made contrary to the feel
ings and interests of the people. Fee
simples should not be sold until these
gold washes are exhausted, and when
they were exhausted the people would
abandon these mines, and the land would
be sold. When it became necessary to
sink shafts, and the gold disappeared
from the surface, it would be necessary
to sell the lands.
Mr. Benton spoke two hours and more
in ridiculing the bill "as it came down
from the Department," in general and
in detail. It can hardly survive all this
satire. _ .
Mr. Benton proposes to recommit the
Bill with instructions to find out what
are private and what public lands, and
with a view of giving permits to work
these mines,—the gold mines and no
thing else. He wished to know what
the Mexican Government had parted
with—what titles were invalid and what
were net,
He would have none of the Indians to
be disturbed in their possessions. He
would have all land titles, grants and
patents examined. Of the Puebla In
dians it was said in Mexico they exten
ded all along the country. They lived
to villages and had lived there genera
tion after generation. The Spaniards
had never disturbed them, and by our
laws and customs we could not disturb
them.
RAFFLING FOR. A WOMAN.-A young girl re
siding in the upper part of the city of New York
was not long since desperately attacked with
the gold fever. The Sacramento and its pre
cious sands were ever before her mind, but
though handsome and of unblemished reputation,
she Was entirely without the means of accom
plishing her wishes. The N. Y. Sun says :
Days passed and yet she seemed no
nearer securing a passage to California
than at first. Fortunately at last she
became acquainted with a party of young
men who were going out on board one
of the vessels bound for San Francisco.
They wished a cook, and at once agreed
to raffle for her. The amount paid for
chances was to be given to her, and the
fortunate fellow who won, was to marry
her, before leaving the city. If she did
not fancy the person on whom the lot
fell, then she was to pny her own pas
sage out, and under the protection of
the whole party was to cook and wash
for them. The money was accordingly
paid, and the girl raffled for. There
was one person whom she hoped would
win, but the fates were against her
choice. A little shoemaker won her.—
The girl would not marry him, but true
to her promise she wrote a farewell let
ter to her friends in Connecticut, and
then took passage with her comrade ad
venturers.
THE FRENCH ON G.. TAYI.O.-The English
papers are sometimes remarkable for utter dis
regard of the geographical character of this
country, and a still mono extraordinary want of
information of our public men and measures.—
The French are determined to show that they
are not a whit behind their English neighbors
in these regards. A writer recently remarked,
" that every thing happens in Paris." We think
this very likely, for a letter from that city
says
"Several of the Paris Journals con
tain biographical sketches of Gen. Tay
lor ; in one of which he is sent to India
to fight, we moy presume, the Sikhs of
Lahore ; the text is curious : "In 1810
he married, and immediately thereafter
troubles broke out in India. Lt. Taylor
manifested so much intrepidity in quel
ling them, that in 1812 he was promoted
to the rank of captain, and nominated
commander of Fort Harrison." Ac
cording to another of these articles, a
grand national convention is to meet at
Washington in February next, to pro
claim his election."

of his father when about 20 years of age, in
the year 1808, and never has been seen by his
father or relatives since. Subsequently, his
family moved to the State of Ohio, where they
