LATER FROM CALIFORtNIA. We have been favored with the fllow ing very interesting letter frorn Colonel Jonathan D. Stevenson, descriplive of the gold mines of California,'.tle mode of life, cost of pirovisions, health of' the diggers, and other topies of importance. The Colonel being so well known here, his staternents cannot failio be recived with great irterest. James H. Brady, Esq., of this city, a son-in-law of Colonel Steven. son, to whom we are indebted for this let ter, sailsin a few days for ilhe land of promisef Bat here is the letter:-,. 3ASn Fnaiscisco, Aprilj149., The first iail ,by stcamei-from New York, brought me co -mtrny imtutiries about the gold. region, the prospects, for besiues, and the cbances for gettiig rich by gold digging. &c., &c., that'I find nyself unable to answer each separate inquiry, I have. therefore, determinted to wsite -you fully upon all the points of enquiry. - At the time the ollicial letters 'of' Col. Mason were written and forwarded to the United States, I. was still: in -service. in statiotned at Los Angelos, some seven hutndred miles flom the Cold regins, and Was as ignor;ant of the truth'of the reporis that reached uIs On ti, stubject, -as YOU weie in the Uitied States, and remained so uutil my command was disbafted, in Scptetnrber. My otticial duty called. me to 3lonterev, where I remained until No vemib'e when I s.tarted for the gold region, with a party of the voloureers, from 'Us Angelas. \ie fNacied the -gold diggings" on the Alocalloyiv, very late in November. I remained in the gold reeitun some six weeks. before I returtned here, and fully satisfied myself; from personal observa tion that none of the statements made by Col. Mason came up to the rcnl facts, its to the extent and richness of the gold re gion. New discaveries of gold are daily made by the rpineie, and at this time the region from which gold is daily taken. ex .ends North and Somib a disimnce of five hundred miles; along this whole-distance there is not a river, stream, valley, or re gion, in which goid. is nor-found, and. thai, too, in great abundance, and. anv sober, industrioius, prnJentwin, cani, iti my jitdgmntr, realize at lst an ounct per da.j, besides his boai'l ; and this, I hsure you, will not more than pay hint' for mie il and privation he is forced to -endure; s1 stand with his feet in water every ment lie is laboring; if he works at the dry diguings, picking and sifting, he is coi slantly in a cloud] of (lust and dirt, and no man can disinguislr his bebt friend by the color of his skin. This labor wou'd be more endurable, if, at the coze of day, he could enjoy the comforts of good food and rest ; but this is out of he question-he must cook hii own food, or go without it. 'Tis true that in some places birding tents are established; but they have more than they can accoma motdate, and the food is rarely such as wiil sutisfy the appetite of a fatigued and hungry moan. Mlost of these boarding tents are kept by highly respectable peo ple, who do all they can to make their boarders comforiable; but'tis out of their poier-the means are not within their reach. Nuch sicknestand suffering are antici pated in the mines this teasmn, and my own opinion is that such will be the case, -for the s1n, when I was there in iid winter, was excessive at midday, and the night frcezing cold; and I cannot doubt litt, exposed as the miners must generally be, that tmfthy who go to' theml with high hopes will never return. or if they do, they I will return broken etitirely in constittition. Let no man flatter himiself' that gold is to be gathered withmout toil and peril ; toil the most severe must he endured, and peril to life, health, good inorals an~d hbits, hourly surround tltam~ ; and many who leave their homes pure nd good, free from I t terribule vices of gatmbling and drunken nepq, (if indelmed they ever dii return) with goldI, hiru'ilhout those possessisons intfinite ly more valuable rhan gold or diamonds to the mar., his family, or his countr. No oneo but those whio haive witnessedit canm fermi the leaist idea of the pierils andI temtptations that surroundi' all, ;and mttre espe'ciailly the ynong andi inecxpericheed. WVhen die dat' tof toil is over, they' have no home or social eircle to enter. T[he tav erni ten: i.. the resort of all; here the cords are the onily books that are to be f'ound or lookedl into. At first, they drink anad play tightly ; but' it' successful, the thirst in' creases, atnd stakes are doubled, more liquor is drank, tatu many'seek their bed (mother easth an~d a blainket-few have any other) with achting beads and empty purses, The hiter is regtardedl ts of little importance, when from 520) to $50 can be earned by the next day's tuil.-U any avoid gatmblinig att the mintes, w ho fllI into the vice whien they ebmte here and in othier towns; they- (lid themsrelves suddenly pos sessed with more wealth than they ever had before; as they have no homte lint the bar room, the gamblinig tatble is the resort for excitement and amusement, and a fewI day's finds themn, like ,the- sailor returned from a long voyage, and at the end of his frolic. "cleaned out," atnd ready to embark againi for the. goldeia ocean. .An imamense numbecr er emigrants, from all parts, have arrived, and are continual ly arriving here; the hills and valleys in the neighborhaoodl of t his town, are covered with the tents of the emuigranits. "'is mo'st fortunate for those who bring tents, else they would be without shelter; for $50 per mottth is paid in a shaty), fhr a part o tf a room not mot'e thant 12 by 10 f'eet. cost or exceed SI .000, which rent for $200 per month. Property, has advanced ..in proportion, and at this ilme there is scarce ly an approachable point in tihe neighbor hood of ihis hay where .new towns are now beicg laid out, mapped, and sold.. From all the accounts we reccive from the States, large quantities. of goods must be coming out here, and 1. apprehend the shippers will suffer seyre .-losses. I hope not ; but I do assure you there is great danger, large as the-opulation will be tm this country, that they cannot consume, for Ft long time, the quatity of goods said to be on the way. and, although we are in thelmidst of the gold region, where men act s little value upon money as in any part of the world, yet, at this time- gold Jusi is valued at $16 t he ounce. - At this' time, laboring men in stores get 5125 per month; negro cooks, 8125; ioys, to clean boots and knives,~$60;-a woman servant, - Indian or Chilian, fron S40 to 00, washing, $6 per dozen; and every thing in proportion. . L.at pnying $64 per month for my board,, S40 for arty bed room. and every other necessary coiven eice in the same proportion. I greatly fear the number of profession 77 men who are coming to this country will ie sadly disappointed, unless they turn iggers, for, there are no courts of law et established, and cannot he for somtLe ine after Congress shall extend to its the bencfits of its laws; and as for the doctors, hey ;are coming in such tnumbers that the market will be largely overstocked; for, until thesickness at the .aines. commences hey have nothing to do. It is a great mistake to believe that none bot poor men should come here. No where, in my judg nent, could tihe men ofsubstantial capital ;o rapidly increase, his wealth as in this Iuntry, and very few or none have yet ome. Yowg men who, have been deli. ately reared, and whose habits are not irnly fixed, should not come, except on. Jer thisguidance and control of men of fix. d and firm character; for I again repeat. tat tio where upon the habitable globe do I believe the same temptations to vice wait the young and inexperientced, as in L;aifornia. As regards myself, as osaual,-the papers - peak falsely of me. as to wealib; yet I ope to return to my native city -at no dis ant day-perliap only as a visiter-with neans aiply sufficiet to meet every W.gljoa qitalhle-claim -gaianmeufh)$ la'neii 'tit-leiTot 6Ile purposes of rny after life. .

In a speech delivered by the Hon and Rev. the Dean of Ripon, at a late soiree of the ?Mechanics' Institution, Leeds, England, a few passages occur wotthy of being widely circtlated: 'I like to think with pleasure, and satisfaction and wonder, of tle extraor dinary advancements which in the provi dence of God, particular individuals have just been able to apply the opera tion of their minds according as they were able to exercise them, and thereby to pbce themselves in extraordinary po sitions both in relation to their own prosperity and to the advantage of the country. It may be a very familliar subiect, bit it is one which I do like to think of, and I will just allude to it. There was a young man who was the youngest of thirteen children, and his fattier a very poor. man; and the best that his fathet cottld do for him wvas to apprentice haim to a barber. Tar that humtrble and praisewvorthty class of public life, that respected individual demeaned himself honorably, as long as he chose to cotntintue in it. IIe then bestowed Ihis care and attention atnd enrterpirise upon preparing the beautifual htair of our heads -improving it to that .degree that it shold be fit to ma;ke a wig of. In thrat he excelled also. . Thren, gentlemen, he betook himself to thre improvenrent ofri weed, I;.htave. seen-and whtich is little more than like a weed-[ mrean the cot ton platnt'of Carolina. He betook hdi selfio improve ithe mranufacture ofclotht mdc ourt of that weued. lIe grained great success, adadiang mewrely to thro acquire ments which Ito possessed- whichr vou ny suppose were very slender-the knowledge whrichr he could pick up by associating with his fellow-mren; he gain ed thait success uihich enabled hinm to decide the nats of linten arnd entton, so that a vestment should be mnade all of cotton. That harber's ap)prentice, getn tienmen, that hontorarble itmprover of otur hair for the purpose of a wig, was Sir Richard At kwrightt, afterwards high sheriff of Iris couinty, and wvho left his family haltf a trilliotr of mtoney. Wecll, gentlemen, I only put that as one in stacee ofa simple, plain tian, htonestly following the call of Pruyidence, using tre mind according as God's providetice gave trim thte opportunity of drawing forthr its resources-trowving himiself into the openingt whtichi was prepared for aim, anrd titus gining at prosperity ex ceeded by no man'itt this country; atnd I amn sure that language is trot egnral to say tire advantage whlichr our ination has received fromi his iniventtioni, enablinig 'lritn tImus to sew,, tire beaneft of the cx. ercise of tDe.mind, and talent, an4iieners gy, and refaction, and desire or ir! provement in the humblest station of lire.

"NOTHING BUIT A PR:NTER, ANY iow!"-Some person having uttered this sneering expression uithiin hearing of the editor of the Cincinnati Times, lie in dignantly replies as follows, in defence of the profession he follows in pride: Nobody but a printer, forsooth !-it' makes our free blood run rampant throngli our veins to hear suchi expres sions from the lips of those nursed on republican'soil.

WILD CAT, THE SEMINoLE.-A let ter from Cross Timbers, Arkanses, pub lishted in the Little Rock Banner, of the 20th ultimo, contains the following passage: "The Indians begin to assume a savage appearance about here; they all paint and wear scalp locks; we met two the other day almost entirely naked, with the exception of a blanket and a small piece of cloth about their loins; they were armed with -bows and arrows, rode with saddles and in lieu of a bridle had a piece of rope about the lower jaw of the horse; they belonged to the Wachita tribe. About two miles beyond Little River we met the celebrated Sent. inole chief, Wild Cat, with twelve war, riors, all painted and in their war dress; they had pienty of whiskey, which sold for twenty cents per pint, and were of course vey drunk. Old Wild Cat is a fine looking Idian, but he has a coun tenance that wvould do honor to an impi of Satan. His neck, wrists, arms, and waist wvere- encircled wvithi silver plates given him at Wanshington, and engraved with his name." The current report here is, that he is in league with the Gaminchies, and appearances seem to favor it. A -few weeks ago he was at Fort Smith wvith some of his people, and there bought a riuantity of gunpowder, and wvhiskey; wvith these he returned, and is nowv on his way to the Grand Prairies; what his real in:entions are, is not known, but I think that lhe iritends nothing good. One thing is certain, as alt the reports confiran,: that the Ca manchecs and other tribes are on the of fensi ve.' TnE PENysLvAiA BENcH.--The Fhlar delphia Sun gives the following affecting description of the drowsy staite ofJustico in that quarter: "JUSTICE NEVEa SLEEPs.-Our friend, Col.
