'new features, especially as to the demand

Sjui FaANCitco, Dec. 25, 1848.
'- I ani still in service, but expect daily to
be Blustered "but. Troops have "arrived by
the way of Santa Fe, and if they have their
compliment or medical officers, i siiaii on

is very valuable. , .This, I believe, is the 6u
ly port -n;the- world where a physician ...is
well employed and well paid. I am. anxious
SO know whether the Courts out here have
Probate jurisdiction. ' I have had several
hundred soldiers1 claims offered me, and I
would hare bought them, but the law states
that the 'claimants must make affidavits as
to their identity before a Court with Pro
bate jurisdiction; ;" ; . '.
; Let me give you a specimen of yester
day's wbrk with me; and it is a fair average
probably I was a little more busy than
usual: in the morning I visited the Frt,
and afterwards my patients in town ; dined
at 3 p. m. and went to bed; was waked three
times ddriag the night to dress wounded
men, in general row that took place in
-the hotel where I am living. I have just
returned from an inquest that was being
held on a body found dead on the road t.t
the Fort. This is a common occurrence;
rarely a day' passes' that some are not
killed. , ; . .
. The people here are taking steps to or
ganize a government. . They are neglected
There are no regular custom house officers,
and the receipts from customs are $20,000
day. There are no post otnce arrenge
ments, and more letters are carried from
the Sacramento to this place and Monte
rey, than there are on one-third the mail
routes in the United States. There are no
courts, no laws, no protection to citizens,
and there are thousands of citizens re
quiring protect ioa.! There is no mint, and
our gold goes to Valparaiso and . niazatian
for coinage, and is sold for $14 per ounce,
and 6 per cent, is paid to the Mexicans and
Chillenos for the privilege of coinage, &c,
&o. It is a fact as certain as any thing can
be, that if' our wise-acres at Washington
delay Tarnishing us with a government, and
allow sectional prejudices and such things
as Wilmot provisos to interfere with their
duty and our rights, that the prediction so
pften made in the United States, of a
separation, from the Union, will be realized.
: The mining ! operations are: not on as
large a Scale .as: in the early part of the
season. The ground is becoming frozen
and the waters oi the rivers are exceeding

I may as well give yon a word or two on
the state of society among the miners, siur
der and highway robbery are every day oc
currences. Many and many a poor fellow
is waylaid, and his life , taken without its
ever being known to the world. It is a
common thing to hear a party of miners

1 There is a good story told of the lamen
tations of an old Hidalgo, when the stars
and stripes were unfurled atTampico. He
mourned the impossibility of getting away
from its( influence. In broken English he
exclaimed: 'I was de Spanish consul in de
Louisiana 'when dat Aag Was raise, and I
go tqPehsacola, hut soon dat flag wave
over me dere. I live den in Texas but dat
flag follow me dere. ; Saya I, I go where da

wept as he turned away his eyes from that
flag,' which, like his evil genius, had haunt-
ad him through life.
. "When it freezes, take care of your nose,
that it doesn't get froze, and wrap up your
toes in warm woollen hose." .

prose, by some one who knows, the effect
of cold snows. :

I am not in favor of scourging American
citizens. 'k Roman citizen could not be
scourged,: and I believe an American citt
ceu is of as high an order of men; as were
Roman citizens. ' Roman citizens were em
ployed both by sea and by land, in the army
and iii the Jiavy, and there was no scourging;
that was reserved for slaves lor those be
low the dignity of a Roman.- It maybe said
that some 'persons are 'bad enough to be
whipped, but I question if whipping will ef
fect, a reform,' I also question if it is woith
wlile to make the officers of the navy the
instruments or agents to correct the incor
rigible part of mankind. It is better," sir,
to get ( them out of the navy, and have
nothing to do with them. I feel a deep
mortification, sir, in seeing a man one who
is brave one who will die in defence of
his country, either in the ar-my or navy
tied up and flogged. I feel humiliated, sir,
by such a spectacle; and I should like to
have the subject properly examined.
Printer's Proverbs. Never inquire thou
of the editor for the news, for behold it is
his duty at the appointed time to give it
unto thee without asking.' When thou dost
write for his paper, never say unto him,
what thinkest thou of my piece?' for it
may be that the truth may offend thee. It
is not fit that thou shouldest ask him
who is the author of an aiticle, for his
duty requires him to keep such things
to himself. When thou dost enter into his
office have a care unto thyself that thou
dost not look at what may be lying open,
for that is not meet in the sight of good-
breeding. Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine eye,
that thou mayest understand it. Prefer the
best conducted paper to any other, and
subscribe immediately for it, and it shall be
well with thee and thy little ones.

COMMUNICATION A CURE FOR

Dr. D. Jayne Dear Sir Last Saturday
morning I found my youngest son quite out
of his head veiy flirliiy and deranged,

On Sunday morning I commenced giving
him your TONIC VERMIFUGE, and be
fore six o'clock he discharged thirteen
large worms, and I believe, to speak within
bounds, that he has passed more than five
hundred small white worms, some not
more than one-fourth of an inch long. On
Monday morning Ins fever left him, and he
is now quite well. All your medicines so
far as I have heard, have given satisfaction
