INTERESTING FROM THE "DIGGINGS."
We have before us a number of additional let
ters from California, all confirmatory of the pre
oions accottnts of the abundance of gold in that
territory. The National Intelliogencer con
tains the following extract from a letter from
en officer in the squadron of Corn. Jones, who
gives a vivid and life like picture of the state
of things in California at the time of his wri
ting
U. S. SKIP, Onto, t
Monterey, Nov. 1, 1848. I
We arrived here on the 9th of last
month.—The weather for the last month
has been delightful, very much like our
fittest October weather at home. The
plea ,ant seam, has just commenced.
It is impossible for persons at a dis
tance to realize the state of affairs here.
Gold is the only subject discussed. It
is bought end sold in grocers' scales. It
is selling for $1 an mince here, $lO in
San Francesco, and $6 at the mines. It
is worth over $lB in the United States.
At the mines it is the only medium of
exchange. The price of a glass of grog
is a pinch of gold. The Indians had at
first no idea, and have scarcely any now
of its relative value. T ey would offer
all they had for any thing that pleased
them. A man from the mines told me
that Ire had sold a blanket for $2BO in
gold, and : the hat that he wore (an indif
ferent one) for $64. Every one that
can possibly do so, has gone to the
mines.—There are sotne 5 or 20 ves
sels at San Francisci), which cannot
leave because their crews have deserted.
They offer $5O a month and cannot get
men at that ; the usual wages were
about $l2. Those who reap most in
this golden harvest are the email tra
ders; for, as a matter of course, the ne
cessaries of life are scarce. One of
these men informed me that he retailed
flour of two dollars a pound, and said it
had been four; he also sold sugar at
$2 per lb., brandy $l2 per bottle.
Crowbars, pickaxes Ste., sold at first at
enormous prices. The mine is now
•known to be 400 miles long and 100
•broad. It is thought to be much longer
but it has not been explored further. A
man, without mooch exertion, can make
$l,OOO a month. Some have made it
in a few days. 1 saw a party that had
been in the mines about two mouths;
each one (person) averaged about $l,-
500 a month. A piece weighing 25 lbs.
has been found. The largest piece that
I have seen, weighed one pound two
ounces. The most that is found is
small and fine. A man will leave a
place at which he does not find more
than an ounce a day. The machines
ere very rude ; to fact it would be prof
itable to work that which escapes them
were there not richer work all around.
'There are about 10.000 persons working
—people are flocking in from all quar
ters. The mines arc said to be inex
baustable.—The present low price of
• gold cannot last long; for I suppose
.a mint will soon be established.—Nor
can the neceisities of life long remain
as they are, though they will be high
for some time. Nothing for consump
tion is made here, but .cargoes are on
their way from South America and the
island's, and no doubt capitalists will
soon have their agents, which alone
would bring gold nearly to its proper
value. 1 haul a revolver, worth about
• $l2. in the United States ; as a special
favor, I parted with it for ounces of
gold, equal to $65 in the United States.
Persons are seen with gold valued t
thousands of dollars, who, n few months
since, would have considered themselves
fortunate in having $2O in possession.
Doctors are making fortunes fast. Their
fee at at the mines for feeling the pulse
is an ounce of gold. It is said that
some of them are making $lOO a day.
It is very sickly now at the mines.
THE GOLD Fovea IN Now YORK.—The gold
fever rages as bad as ever in New York, and al•
most daily a vessel filled with passengers takes
her departure for California. The correspond
cat of the Philadelphia Inquirer says
The !Set is, this California fever has
increased in intensity very much within
a few da,s. Whether the increase has
been caused by the recent " cold snap"
or the more recent thaw, deponent
knoweth not, but the fact is, every one
is going, or trying to go, and among the
rest a band of negro minstrels, calling
themselves the .‘ California Minstrels."
We have heard of digging, and diedg
mg, and washing, and picking, and
squatting, and doing every thing else ;
for gold, but the idea of a company of
negro minstrels going to California to
sing for gold, is certainly new, not to
say wonderful.

A Daring lExPloit.
! Wm. Coulter and a Mr. Bartlebitugh
were following the tracks of a . deer,
about ten miles north of this place, on
Friday, the 12th inst.. they soon came
to the deer, which appeared to have
been lately killed by seine animal ; its
. entrails were tore out, and its carcase
otherwise much mutilated. They soon
observed tracks of a wild cat, and tra
cing them a short distance, it was dis
covered that the cat had entered a hole
in a ledge of rocks. A trap was pre
pared, and set at the mouth of the hole.
Next morning, the wild cat, nearly full
grown, was fowl:Arm the trap—fast by
the toes of the fore foot. The question
then was, how to secure him alive.
Coulter directed Bartlehaugh to amuse
him with a stick," and he thought" he
• could take one wildcat, for Davy Crock
et lied licked his weight of them." The
attention of pussy being.talien up with
a stick, Coulter caught It by the back of
the neck, threw it, and got his knees
upon it. They then took their suspen
ders and tied the feet, and Bill pulled
off one of his stockings, and drew it
over its head ; thus secured, they car
ried it home, and now have it ready for
Mr. Van Amburg, whenever he thinks
fit to order (Pa.) Register
How to Cough,
A w th^ New York Sun
.ne York .. says it
in
jurious to cough leaning forwards as it serves
to compress the lungs and makes the irritation
greater:" Perkins prone to the enjoyment,
should keep the neck straight and throw out the
chest. By these means the lungs expand and
the windp;pe is kept free and clear. There is
snort in everything, and the art of cou4hing is
perhaps as important in its waY as any other.
