The latter question can_ easily be answered—by the establishment of a mint at San Francisco, or Nueva Helvetia, the Hacienda of Captain Sutter. The question of securing a dividend to the go- vernment is more difficult of solution. ‘One of the best plans of which we have heard, is that of Major Baker, ct the ordnance corps of the army. Weunderstand that he has submitted to. the Sectetary ot Waca plan, the outline of which is as follows :-— : 1. To organize a_volunteer force of 10,00) men, im battalions of 500 each, duly officered an equi " % mes force to enrol in the public service tor six months, with pay and emoluments; and, after that period, to receive only one ration € ach, in kind. {The six months are allowed to be taken upin the preparation and trip (0 El Dorado.} 3. The force thus organized, to be commanded by a general officer. f he duties of this foree to be to guard the gold region, to enforce the laws of Congress over the same, admitting upon the gold lands only those persons licensed by authority of law; and the ten’ thousand men thus employed as a guard, to receive from the operators two-thirds of the proceeds of gold, The operators to retain one-third, one-third to be delivered over to the agent of the United Statee, and the other third to be divided among the Youunteer force of ten thousand employed as herein- before stated, as the guarda costa of the gold jig. tnct. The amount to officers and mey, to be dis- tributed according to act of Congress. These propositions, \. will be observed, design to supply an efficleat, powerful military force, for the protection of every interest, public and private, in Caiiforma; and, with the exception of the cost of organtzation, and for placing it in position, without any expense to the public, treasury, al ter six months, bey ond that of one ration to each offi- cer and man. : Estimating the labors of ten thousand workmen at the low standard of one ounce to each man per day, valued at fitteen dollars in California, such | third would, accordingly, yield $50,000 per f Under the existing circumstances of the gold ¢ and the utter :mpossibility of controlling covery Pp f co 7 the eager crowds of emigrants to Califorma, by ordinary means, civil or military, this plaa would appear to be the most effective that could b adopted. It would impart confidence to the op retors, vigilance to the guard, and security to the public interest r . We hope the Secretary of War will confer with the President upon this subject, and that the lat- ter will call the attention of Congress, m a special message, to some such measure, for the protection of all interests, and especially for the benefit of the public treasury, and the payment of ‘the public debt.

He confirms the general tenor of what has hitherto been sald in the United States on the subject. A vast tract of country is tich with the precious metal, and the mere labor of Mr. Cutting has shown us ‘There is nothing astounding in his specimens, nor in the report he makes, but it is very obvious that gold can be bad in Califernia with less labor than ia any other part ef the world. To all appearances, too, the supply is inexhaustible, nor has the extent of country, stocked with gold, as it were, been exagcerated. T. largest piece of native gold Mr. Cutting bas known to be found, weighed thirteen pounds. He was not so fortunate as to pick it up. He has know™ ion well who have Ricked up $1,800. *1.5o0, and $1,200 in a single day, but those were extreme cases of good for- tune.

Within the past six months, deposits of pl have been found at various points throughout a region of country, in California, about six hundred tiles in extent, which are believed to be equal in richness to any similar ones in the world, All that section of country lying upom the eastern side of the Sacra- mento river, and drained by its tributaries, from its head waters to its mouth, is known to contain rich Geporits of gold. Gold is also known to exist upon some of the tributaries of the San Joaquin River, and in various localities in the chain of mountains sepa- rating the waters of that river from those which run into the Pacific Ocean, as far south as Ciudad de los Angelos. ; r gold moment, the largest portion of the people of California ore engaged in working these min ntel- ligent men, from all parts of the goldfregions, state there are at least three thousand persons, whites and Indians, now employed in collecting the precious metal in California, and the least average amount ob- tained by each man, taking the year together, will be eight dollars per day.

He is out taking an ating in the yard, and carries his pass ticket in his band. The external world has cloved its portals against him ; but it bas not taken away from him the power of repentance for bis crime, Would a legal retaliatory murder, in this instance, have constituted such a last- ing example as his presence has done during his con- finement here? Would the violent impulsion of an unrepentant spirit into the presence of the Great Judge have yielded more satisfaction to the feelings of an 1 juredccmmonwenith, than the knowledge which time at elicited, that repentance has been expressed, and every hope favored that the feeling is genuine? ’ Let the ‘advocates of capital punishment answer these questions, This man is a cooper in the prison, and @ good workman.

He walksrapidly up to the wall—moves e few steps to the right--wheels around abruptly—progrerses to the left, then rapidly turns kalf round, and crosses the yard with a hurried step. At the other side, he goes through the same ma- novuvres; and, half way across, he suddenly stops and moves slowly and mojestically for a moment, when his broken movements reoommence in the manner de- scribed. There is a heavy burden of thought mavifust in bis visage, amounting almost in its expression to moroseness.
