The journals teem with sage and fathei ly advice to people wo think of goipg to California, and we are blessed With a superflaify of private letters, so ' liciting Advice and information on Various | prints connected with tIfe new Gold etegion. To ans*wer these in detail isl 99 most iccorvenient, and we prefer to pUthi*lat we know and think into The rTribun'e, where all who choose can have fair anld full opportunity to. profit by it, I presu-niing tila! those- who deem our ripinon worth aking for are readers of -1ose coluinas. We propose theijfoie, to answr to the best of our ability four -br nyrs lAQ,-lng qiJeStionsl, ViZ: 1. Mow abou t that gold in California ? That a considmable area in Norhei n ') CiAlifuinis is exloiely rich near the surface -i vii-in Guid, no seisible man n"ow pretends to doubt. Tbere is no ri loneer a shadow of excnse for affecting to belin-ve the accounts fibulous, nor the rPoduct IMica, nor any ihing of the sort. s.Tha iron oneto ive thushnd persons IWere enagaed in digging and washing for Gold in the iiesw 'placer' from June to -Sepiemnber last inchisive, and that the average prodact of !hei: labo'rs was at B least one ounce of 2-carat Gold, worth fully $20, for each day's fai,ful.Jabor, are very certain; and the 1product -er s Man was rather increasing than dimian ishing at the latest dates, iartly by- the discovery of richer deposijbut ,t"reJ sensibly by thu invention, purgiihase"i' niainufacture of more suitabrk.I tneius, &e. rendering the labor ern e far mors eelbctive than at Grst.- .i 2. Will tie G'old c6intinu-abundint ? WF; think it will not to the. extent Shitherto - realizd, but- thut it wii,io:a -;onsid6rable..ertent. That Gold is fo'Q4 over a large.:aer is Irue,bui .t i~is everywhere s6 plentiftil as in ~theAigli .bdrho6d of Capt.. Surter's settein ibeie ,tie discovervwas fsnade, 'e dist*r.st. The accId 4r:ff4'it, but is-a ke. r - .i i rethe tains remain as producive as'ever, after several fears efficient voi king, and t ese are in a region by no means so new to civilization as the in:eiior if Californ ia. Usually, ho%vever, the first fraits of a newly discovered or newly worked Gold Region are the richest, and the sanguine explwctations formed at thfl outset ,;re not justified by the experience of folloving years. The unparal!eled rush of ad venturers to Calilortia %w:1l alo operate against the realization of extraordinary profits individually, by spnedly crowd ing, and in time exhausting the richest localities, when intrior must be resorted to; while the cost of all the necossaries of lfe must rvimain viy hi;h, not only by reason of the great demand for them and the disthnce whence a good pat t of then mosi be brought, but because of the great difficulty of re'tining the sea, omen iad thus bringing away ihe vessels t in which supplies at e transpot led thither. W-3 pr-.eu:vw. ihi.relote, ihim (,oid dip (inL i- 1849. thoigh still very pi-ofiable will in the average be less so than in 18-18. We ate not forg(tting that the Mines whencu these diluvial ricies h:ivi in) - proess of tim" beeni wvahed-to the val leys and ravines yet remain to be dis covered; but though they will donbtiess long defer the exhaustion of the Califor nia Gold Region, they can hardly be -expected im ieaese nor even wOstain its fprodJuctiveness. We know no actual miesofany sort which will retnrn twenty dollars per day for thte latbot reqmired to work them. Bum there will be an immense amount of' Gold obtained in Califo'rnia during d the next year, and probably through many years to comc. The question next in order would seem to be 3. hwt obstacles and drawbacks arc to be enacountercd by seekere for it? We have already spoken of the high Spriea of all the necessaries andl comfor ts Iof life wvhich wvill inevitably substract heavily fromt the cains so sanguinely dcounted on. it with cast front $200 to $400, with from 50 to 150 days, to reach tihe Gold Region (s omu thi' quarter, [and whene there, transportation, food, d &. must inevitably be very dear.

This is . asily answered. If you have means, nd can secure hete a Pas sagp ifi tie steamship from Panama to San Francis-o, don't think of any other way. But the steamship cannot carry one-tenth of those who are going, and to run down to Panama and be obliged to wait there for mbnths, is hardly advisa ble. The two land routes through our our own territory-one by Missouri and the South Pass of the Rocky Alountains, and the other by Santa Fe and the rivet Gila-are long, tedious, not without perils and exposed to privations; yet those who start ealy, well mounted and provided, will go through this way; and for persons who starts from points West of tie Alleghenies, these are probably as goed routes as any. You can choose between them on the testimony of thioi familiar with thea after you have passed St. Louis, and there will be n6 lack ol guide's. For our own part, ifrwe we.restar tint now or before Matrch, and were not sure of a berth in the steamship fromi Paniamri to San Francisco, we should probably take ship to Vera Crtiz. and thence travel over land by the City of Mexict to Maiz.uilan or some point on the Pa. cinec c:,ast whence passage could br procured; and.if such weie not to be found, woold1 keep on by land by Cali fornia. With two or. three huindred Mexican dollars (gold will pass at a pinch as yet,) we believe t.he trip to San Fran cisco could, be made over this route in sixty or seventy days, and not unpleas antly. Not less.than twenty nor nt than eighty should iavel together-les: than twen'y wvould not lbe safe ; mom than eighty would often find the 'enter tainment for man and beast' somewha meager. They must go prepared t< purchase hardy horses or mules either a Vera Crus or farther weust, as speed oi one hand or economy on the other shah dictate..-One m nore question is ofter asked us: 7. What will Congress dio about tir Lands 1 We can only give.our owvn opinion 01 this head. We belIeve it wtll authorizt the Exscutive neither to sell nor least them at the .prersent Sessinn, but leave every one free to dig wvhere he pleases so that lie dres not trench upon the right: of another, perhaps imposing a mode rate tax-on the entire proceeds-say ter per cent,--to bo paid at the Minth California. In other words, Congres: may require every one, on penal y C confiscation, to bring his gold dug o: public lands to the Mint and receive Co: it, keh in,lind.: ninn.tnths the quan i lity of coined gold.- We think.it will either do this or do nothing. -.-We:trust .this' ill~eicpssd oin answering lettirs of inqu.1y especting Cklifornia. - PRESIDENTIALS ELECTIONS.
