i tub gold mink*.
I do not know that I can give your reader* uny
tiling more interesting than the details of u most
important communication from California, which
1 have been |<ermitted to peruse. As you are well
aware, the most intense curiosity everywhere prevails
with regard to the gold mines, and every thing
connected with them. In all uges gold digging has
been the most exciting pursuit in which man can
engage, and if the placers in California are not surII
rounded by that mysterious and romantic interest
which attached to the first discoveries of the Spaniards
on this continent, there is a practical charm
about them which, some how or other, does come
home to the boBom and business of every man.
Hence the details which I am about to give cannot
fail to be rcud with the greatest interest, inasmuch
I as they are perfectly authentic and reliable. The
source from which they come is Colonel J. D.
Stevenson, a gentleman whom I have known for
years, and whose name must be fomiliur to many of
your readers.
The region from which the gold is taken extends
north and south, a distance of five hundred miles.
Throughout all this vust region there is not a river,
stream or valley, in which the glittering ore may
not be found in more or less abundance. An industrious
sober man can realize at least one ounce a
day, after paying all expenses. But the gold is not
to be got without labor. Like a capricious beauty,
gold, in whatever form, in Wall street, or the
placers, must be wooed with u zeal and an ardor
which allow no repose, no remission. In Wall
street, to get the gold, you must be up to the neck
in all sorts of iniquity. In California you mujit be
up to the middle in water. After the labors of the
dav. with vour ounce of "-old in vour breaches
pocket, you dine upon dough, washed down with
delectable rum, for which you pay only five shillings
a glass, and afterwards seek repose in a
" bourding tent," whose accommodations are not
quite equal to those at the Astor.
Such is life at the mines The scurvy is breaking
out in some parts of the country, but with prudence
and care a tolerably vigorous man may maintain
very good heulth at the diggings. Colonel
Stevenson states that an industrious digger, who
does not gamble, and drinks like a christian, may
realize from fifteen hundred to thirty-five hundred
dollars a year, over and above his expenses. At
first, parties proceeding to the mines bought oxen
and carts and took up their own provisions, but
that is now out of the question. A yoke of oxen
which could have been purchased in September last
for fourteen dollars, are now worth two hundred
and fifty dollars ; and hence all persons going to the
mines go as far as they can by water, taking their
blanket and a few other articles in a knapsack, with
which they start for the mountains.
, Provisions, lodgings, every thing, are enormously
high. Fifty dollars a month is paid for a "shakedown"
in a shanty. Sardines sell at ten dollars a
box ; jerked beef, or strips of animal fibre, dried in
the sun, and of the consistence of wood, is worth
one dollar a pound. Sugar ten shillings a pound.
Potatoes twelve shillings a pound. Ham two dollars
a pound. Such are a few items from the California
prices current.
Gambling, drinking, and other vices of civilizartion,
of course, prevail. Goods of all kinds were
pouring into San Francisco. Laboring men in
stores get one hundred and twenty-five dollars a
month.' Colonel Stevenson was paying sixty-four
dollars a month for his board, and forty dollars a
month for his bed-room?a splendid department no
doubt. At Sutter's fort the rales were two dollars
a meal. The colonel gives no encouragement to
professional men. Hard working men, mechanics,
citizens, and laborers, are the men to go to Cali
forma.
I have thus given a few items from thin lnteresting
communication, which haa given me a more definite
and aatiafactory idea of matters in California
than any accounts which I have yet seen from that
region. The volunteers who went out under the
nommand of the colonel almost to a man remain.

Boston, June 19, 1849.
Among the sudden deaths to-day, was that of the
Rev. Wm B. Tappan, agent of the American Sunday
School Union, in this city, and well-known to
. members of his religious denomination as a poetical
writer. His disease was pronounced cholera.
He was seized ycslerday afternoon while in the
city, and died at his residence near Needhnm,

good new.
Our east winds have at last forsaken us, and we
ure having some cnntimi.Mis warm weather, under
' which vegelatien is taking strides that promise to
make up for past delinquencies. Wc no longer
have to import our strawlierrica from New York,
the home supply is quite equal to the demand.
Numerous robberies and petty larcenies having
taken place in our city of mte, the police have been
actively on the alert, and the result shows that there
are organiz-ed gangs of vagrant boys about the
city, who make Jack Sheppard and Dick Turpin
their models, and practise theft systematically. A
curious document in proof of this was brought to
light few evenings syicr A youth of snout I.r>,
named Patrick Carroll, was arrested on a charge of
stealing about $100 worth of jewelry, when the following
paper was found upon his peraon:
Contract drawn hrtwrrn P. C. k Co.?Know all
men by these presents, that we, the undersigned,
do hereby swear that we will oliey P. C. in nil
things lawful and unlawful; and the said P. C. is to
pay to us in the half of what the company mnkes.
And, furthermore, neither we, the undersigned, nor
the said P. C., will keep any share of the goods of
the firm without the consent of one and all the
company.
To which we hereby aet our hands find seals this
llth day of June, 1849.
(Signed) P. C. fska1..1
J. P. P. [aval]
k It is the opinion of the city marshnl that there
are some fifteen hundred vagrant children, (of whom
only 1(13 are of American parents,) between six
end sivteen vears of age, who prowl about our
wbsrve* and street*, and live precariously; uncared
for by parent* or guardian*. Some of theae children
are hawker* of paper*, or seller* of matchea,
moat of the time occupied in quarrelling and gantbling.
They are tieggars, strolling from street to
street, through Innea, byway* and alleys; practising
the elementary lesson* of pilfering, lying, deception
and thefi. They may be seen wherever wooden
structure* are in the process of building, repairing,
or tearing down, aeeking lor fragments of
wood, to which they evidently feel they hnveu very
questionable right. Ft is nn embarrassing question
-vith our city authorities, what shall wi do with
itheae juvenile vagrant*' How far have we the right
to aland towarda them in loco parentii, and force
them to induatry and reformed habita.
A single fact in thia connection will illustrate the
difficulties of the case. During the winter months
the secretary of the Boston Employment Society
had in charge 72 boys of foreign parentage-, all of
them were exceedingly destitute, themselves and
friends living mostly on charity. Good homes were
offered to theso boys in the country, where they
would be educated to usefulness; but only 17 of the
72 could be persuaded to accept of the benefits. In
view of such facts, it seems as if there ought to be
lodged somewhere a power to rescue these young
outcasts, even against their own will and that of
their parents, from their inevitable tendencies to
crime. The State is to be the sufferer from their
vicious courses, and ought not the State to have
authority to take seasonable measures for its protection?
A yellow covered pamphlet has just been laid
upon my table, entitled, "Report of the Directors
of the Northern Railroad Company, Ogdensburgh
to Rouse's Point, New York, submitted to the
stockholders." This road, you may be aware, is
almost entirely in the hands of Boston capitalists.
The report is signed by G. Parish, Abbott Lawrence,
and ten others. The expenditure of the
compuny to the 4th insl. has been $1,326,977.?
The first complete estimate of the road was rather
under 000,000. It is now proposed that there
should be an issue of bonds by the company, to
procure the means necessary for a proper continuance
of the work; and the belief is expressed, that
such issues need not exceed $1,000,000. The report
states in conclusion:
"The Northern railroad was put under contract
in its entire length, at the commencement of last
year, since when no efforts have been spared to
push the work at every important point. Twelve
I miles of the road from Champlain village, (connecting
the Champlain river landing,) to Centreville,
are ready for business; to this will be added fifteen
' miles by the month of September, and, if required,
the road can be further opened thiB season to Chateaue'UHV.
a distance of fnrtv-five miles fr??m T
Champlain. Of the remaining distance, weat,
about fifty miles are further advanced than any
other portion of the line, of same extent, and the
entire work is at present in so forward a state that
it requires but an ordinary exertion of the same
means hitherto employed, to ensure the opening of
the whole line by the summer of next year."

Coffee continued i^uite scarce. The monopoly law
was still in operauon, and several infractions of the
law by the Haytien officials had been punished by
the Government. A portion of the President's

Picayune which we publish to-day. In addition to
those, we select the following from the correspondence
of the New York Courier and Enquirer,
which seta forth some portions of the dark side of
the picture:
"Now, let me say a few words to those ut home
who have only the premonitory symptoms of the
gold fever. To such as may contemplate coming
out here in companies, and employing persons to
dig for them, I will relate a short anecdote: Ten
i men Itelonging to a company established for this
purpose arrived one day upon the hanks of Feather
river, in the very midst of the gold region, where
they met ten Indians, who were lolling listlessly
about, under the shade of a large tree. ' These are
the very men for us,' thought and said the whiles,
and an offer was immediately made the Indians of
two dollars a day for every mnn who would dig.
This being the amount that the said people worked
for per mtmlh in the settlement, was, at the time,
thought a sufficient inducement, certainly; but the
Indians shook their heads. Five dollars were then
offered; again the Indians shook their heads. Ten
dollars wan the next offer, when one of the Indians
rose and said: 'Here are ten of you and ten of us;
we make you the same offer. You white men dig
for us, and we will give each one of you ten dollars .a
day!' So you will observe that none but hale,
hearty, stout, well-knit and healthy men, need come
out here for gold. And two-thirds of these (let me
warn them in time) will lay their Imnes where they
go with the hope of accumulating fortunes. My
reasons for thinking thus must be obvious enough
Ln nftrufini nt *11 *r/in*?nt*H with
When the unhealthy season net* in at the placer,
the temptation for augmenting one's heap is too
strong to he resisted. As each individual imagines
that he will escape, or, at any rnte, that the chances
are somewhat in his favor, none leave until a raging
fever has taken a strong hold, when in most cases
it is too late to depart. But this is useless. No
warning from me, or any one else, will turn a tide;
and I fancy that every person coming to California
intends to take this at the flood, feeling confident
that it must 'lead on to fortune.' But I know,
from actual observation, that the tide runs both
ways out here. There is an ebb, as well as a flood
' if any suppose that gold can lie procured without
labor, and that of the severest kind, they are, I
assure you, very much mistaken. Why, laying
water or gas pipes in the streets of New York is
not half as toilsome work. No man should come
to this country with the expectation of making his
fortune at the mines, by getting out gold, but such
a one as feels fully able to dig almut half a dozen
graves a day, taking a cold bath every fifteen or
twenty minutes during his work, and whilst in a
profuse perspiration, and that without injury to the
constitution. It would not lie n had nlan to orsc
tine thm, for a month or two, on the lianks of some
river, before leaving the United States."
ETHioruN Melodies.?Mr. Kendall writes from
Pari*:
"Whether we should take it aa a compliment or
not ia more than I feel called upon to decide, but
the moat popular airs one now hears at all the minor
theAlres, as well aa in the streets, are neither
more nor leas than some of Our Ethiopian melodies.
The favorite of all?one that is danced and hummed,
and whistler! by every person?goes by the title of
'Drin, drin,' here in Paris, nnd is an adaptation of
'Sing, sing, the boatmen sing.' Another air, which
appears to tie rapidly growing into favor, is taken
from 'Dance, the Itoatman, dance.' I shall lie
ready to go when 'Mary Blane' and 'l.ucy Neal'
I get upon the Parisian stage and on the Boulevards,
j and they'll soon be along."

Annapolis, Mo., June 20, 1849.
The painful duty devolves upon the Governor of
Maryland to announce, officially, to his fellowcitizens,
the demise of Janes K. Polk, late ExPresident
of the United States, which mournful
event occurred at Nashville, Tennessee, on the
15th inst. The patriotic people of Maryland are
thus called to mourn the early death of one who
has, successively, filled important positions in the
councils of the country, and who but recently retired
from the most exalted of all earthly stations, the
Presidency of the United Stales. In view of the
public and private virtues of the deceased, of his
long, faithful, and arduous services in the various
trusts committed to his hands, and of the brilliant
events which distinguished his administration of
the Government, 1 recommend to the people of
Maryland to assemble in their respective cities and
country towns, at such time as may be most convenient,
for the purpose of expressing the sorrow
which this sudden dispensation has occasioned,
and of testifying, in a suitable manner, their respect
for his memory.

REVUE DES DEUX MONDES.
Nouvelle Period avec la Collaboration des
Somraltes Litters!res et Sclentlflques, de
la Prance et des pays Etrangers.
Published on the first and fifteenth of every month.
Each number contains 176 pages, 8vo., at $12 50
per annum.
The Revue des Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose of establishing an intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. It is
proposed in this collection to give a prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, to the
labors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue
des Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending to it,
through Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each
of their publications. The Revue is in a better position
than any other organ in Europe to serve as
an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World, which has as Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of France. Many of its contributors have visited
North and South America, and it still counts among
.u ..r . u.. i f i r<
iin iii many ui tuc i/ipiuiuaut. aiiu v-uimunvr V'Di iJM.
Each nuuiDerof the Revue, ia addition to its articles
gig-lied by the first names of France, eon tains, under
the title of" Chrouique dc la Quinzaine," a historical
summary of the principal events of the political
world, which will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European movement*.
