FROM CALIFORNIA.
[Coiroi.pondenee of the Putter Juurnall
TABLE MOLTNTAI;i, Oft. 9, 1857.
•
EDITOR JctuttNAi..:—One week ago
to-day I had been itJ California just four
years and six- Months. .• I had: always
worked hard, '(generally mining,) and,
Litd never drank a drop "of intoiieating
litinor," or
.gmuhled to the tutiount. of a
farthing; and up to that time I had Made
nothing more than a decent living, and
sonietimes hardly that.' :13ut I labored
on, hoping for better in ftiture; but alas!,'
there is an end; to hope, and alsO to pa
tience; and upon that partidular eveniutt!
it appeared as though my will and energy
had entirely fottaken me.' I was "working
in a tunnel located on":Tilble: M'ountain,
My days' work : being done, I threw down
my pick and sledge, and trudzedi my way
to- my cabin. - •
My partner beingrgone to the [ camp, I
yas left alone to think. Of the past, Seat
ed on-the door-sill, I.,could think of many
acts of my 'life that'll would gladly have
recalled had I the poiver. I could- not
ttunk.that I merited such an ill . fortune
as appeared to . be allotted to me.
Arousing myself from thistrain of tin-
:pleasant reflections, I prepared My sup
'per, which consisted of beef-steak, sweet
Potatoes, light bread,and - tea; after
,:iltiugof that, Nery . heartily, I took up a
145tter Joit . rhal that I had received on
that Morning; - in - that - -I • fOutid. 'much

saw, as usual,'., something 'of
ikaosaa'affairs; :and as I have long wished
to make Katisa.4 -in hoine, nry-attention

hattpernse4 au article•inrelatipn to the
affairs; ok Kansas, I :immediately resolr
eci go to that country, when:my hands
voluntarily dropped to my knees, andd
,was
.rapidly enumerating in my minds'
eye the inducerneUts that were held out
I.M.Young men in Kansas, when suddenly
a sense
. of ,my pecuniary circumstances
flashed into my memory; it flashed as a
galvanic shock-, I cast. my . leyes around
[me, and iu one corner of my cassict,.be
hell a, small table, upon, which •tycre three
kin plates, two tin cups, butter plate, and
(bread pan, all of• Which were, as yet, un
washed. In another corner of the room
stood a cooking-stove„atound which hung'
some my wet clothing, that I.had
'lwaShed at noon; while resting : in another i
1 extremity ofthe cassa could be Seen two'
flour 'sacks, and : one of potatoos; while
suspended to the : ceilingwas a
. sea-grasa
Sack, in which were kept Our bacon„et.e.
After reviewing every thing around'ute;
isuddeulyconceived that I, while living
thus, was violating both the. laws of God
and of nature, and that, as I could see no
remedy, at that time,lt would be better if
I were dead. Thu'S I was rapidly,revol
iing in _My mind the consequences •Of
such a termination, and the effect itwould
haVe upon my friends, when the visage
Of toy mother, as has been often the case,

mind. • 0, how often has her: visage • de
livered me from evil actioffs,'• One (Inca
net leave a Mothers' influence- at ho'ine;
nay,. it is a: companion from childhood to
the grave.
On being delivered of a train of evil
thoughts, I retired to *rest, and early on
the following ntorning. I arose, and took
up my pick, pan, and shovel, and started
off prospecting. I had not proceeded:far,
until Lobserved some favorable looking
quartz rock, 'and after pounding. some of
it well, I washed out of one pound of the
rock tear dollars': I was in ecstatic joy.
I rushed to the Justice of - the:Peace to
have a claim recorded; and it was soon
known that I . had struck it; and in a
short snare the mountain was literally
covered. with prospectors and speculators;
but as.l had the only good claim .on the,
hill, I succeeded in selling -it for five
thousand dollars before night, •
. I took the first stage for Stockton,
thence to - San Francisco, and lost no time,
iu getting on board of a steamer bound ]
for New York. In due time I was once
more climbing the stiles in front of the
hoinestead. Once more ['beheld my
parents and brothers and sisters. They
were entirely unchanged. Aftet.embra- .
cing them all, I would tak,e,....V 6 t e :py the
hand, one after another, and exalt t them
closely, as though I - feared thatj was not
in
.reality at home. ,+'u, clear . away my
doubts, my sisters told toe that ou that
evening they were to have a sdeial party,
and that some Of my old friends would be

the first' time in ithir years and it..half.
