-< THE CALIFORNIA GOLD MINES. Interesting Statement of Gold Finders, Sie., Kr, Ber "The following statement may be relied on, not only ‘es authentic, but as extremely interesting to all who imtend to proceed to the “ diggings.’’ Its value con- sists in this, that it was taken yesterday from the lips @f two gentlemen, #ho have been among the first ad- ‘venturers in Colifornia, and the last who have arrived in this city from the gold regions, It gives minute in- formation, highly valuable, and different from anything that has yet appeared in print. The two gentlemen with whom we had the Pleasure of conversin; esterday, at the Astor Hotel, are Mr. R. C. ss at of Iinois, and Mr. Samuel Packwood, of Oregon. The former intends to return to California after a short sojourn in Illinois and Missouri, and the latter to Oregon, where he had re- sided four years previous to the gold discovery, These gentlemen arrived in the Isabella at Charleston, on the ‘Lith inst., and they left the mines on the 25th of March. We have not only learned all the details of the mining operations, from actual eye witnesses—nay,from the operators themselves —but we have seen the glisten- ing metal brought from thence in all its virgin purity, In the first place, these gentlemen inform us that one of them wasin the mines for ten months, and the other since last September. Their opinion is, that the Dest way by far to goto California from New York, or any part of the eastern sea-board, is by to the Isthmus; and their advice what to bring is highly im- portant to all who mediate emigration, $o the land of gold, They say to all—“ Bring mo' machines; bring nothing but as much money as will bring you there, and as much clothes as you will wear for a year. Anything brought from here may not be worth the tenth part of its ordinary value when it arrives; and as for engines to wash the gold, they are the greatest humbugs, for this Feasop, that they cannot be conveyed from place to place,’ A man’s old clothes will answer very well for in my presence by 8 coo! and yesterday I engaged one at $100.» month, because he is too siek to gotothe mines; but T shall certainly lose him, if he gets bis health. eountry bridge. The climate is cold all th working in, and there is no necessity for boing parti- eular in an outfit. ‘As the reader will be naturally anxious to know how much can be made in the diggings—how much has boen actually made there, we shall begin with that first. The most stupid ordinary man can easily make $5,600 per annum, from the work of his own hands; and a man of energy and ability can make $20,000. ‘There i no difficulty in making from $19,000 to $15,000. To accomplish this, a man need not work harder than he oes at his farm. if he has one, Mr. Wilson astually thered in one day $510 worth of the dust. ‘This was is largest acquisition for one day; but he saw one man take 72 ounces of gold from one pan of the soil ! ‘The average value, however, of a pan of the stuff was from 50 cents to $3 The greater part of the gold obtained is in scales, ‘We saw the largest piece found by Mr. Packwood, and it weighs exactly an ounce. It is worth eighteon dol- lars. It is an oblong piece of the metal, somewhat like @ smooth pebble. It is the purest virgin gold, The same gentleman showed us a small piece of exquisite beauty. Intrinsically it is worth about a shilling. he refused $10 for it. Itis like the point of a leaf of a tree, a0 beautifully carved as to cast in the shade every attempt of art. Mr, Wilson also showed us a curiosity; it is a gold breast-pin, being of the value of about half an eagle in ‘weight, but for its natural beauty worth ten times that sum, We never saw anything more exquisite. A pin has been of courso affixed to the plece of gold, but there has been no other alteration, The foundation is a beautiful quartz, and the preeious metal has so formed iteelf around it that you can see glimpses of the white through the yellow, the whole so curiously wrought by nature, that the goldsmiths might try to imitate it in vain. ‘These gentlemen also showed us somo of the dollars coined from their own gold, in Philadelphia, They are very beautiful, and somewhere about the size of a silver half-dime. ‘The stream they worked is what is called “ The Ame- rican Fork,” one of the tributaries of the Sacramento, and near Captain Sutter's Fort. To these diggings, the following is the route, and it is worth while to mark it: From San Francisco (supposing you are there, it 18160 miles to Sutter's Fort, by water; thence to Sutter's saw-mill, (now a village.) it is 54 miles by an excellent road ; you can get on either by wagons or en horreback. From the eaw-mill to the best “diggins,’’ in the American Fork, is from ten to twenty-five miles, But auch a rough road is not in the world—it is worse than 100 miles. It is the most rugged of mountain: In winter, except in very dry seasons, it is utterly im. ossible to travel with horses or mules, for the ground s too soft. and the gold seeker has to carry his pack on his back like a pediar. Perhaps a week’s work may be got at one di ging. perhaps not more than one day, and mountains and rocks must be again traversed in pur- suit of the shining metal. ‘This shows the absurdity of bringing machines toCalifornia, A machine ia erected on the spot, about eight fect long, and eighteen inches wide, something like a hoz trough. It is hol- lowed out of'a tree like a canoe, and in one end of it is fixed a riddle made of sheet iron, raw hide, or whatever else can be got in the mountains. It is rocked like a eradie. | When the stuff and water are put into it, the d eettles to the bottom, from its specific gravity, and FP easily found there; but to remove thismackice to the next “ diggings’” is impossible, Where a machine can be constructed, the most advantageous way of seek- ing the gold is by a party, or mess, of six. Three can work it; but six constitute o better party. Where there is no machine. but only a pan, the wisest course is for every industrious man’to go on his own hook. Every man is his own cook, and he must make his bed in the open air, on the mountain's brow. ‘The elimate, however, is falubrious and delightful, ‘There is norain nor even dew frem April till October, In the winter menthe, instead of snow there is rain, though the tops of the mountains, always in sight, are covered with perpetual snow, winter and summer. The valley of the Sacramento is the only exception to the climate. It is swampy and unhealthy, Theres, however, no gold got in the valley as people here imagine. It is to be found only in the mountain streams, or rather on the banks, in what are culled the good bayes. The climate hhas more of the softness and equable temperature of France or Italy than of this country. It is never 60 hot or cold as here. The Pacific ocean, too, is always ameoth and delightful. The healthiest city, perbay in the whole world, is San Francisco. ‘With regard to the state of society in the gold re- gions, Messrs, Wileon and Packwood say emphatically that ft is just as good asin New York, and that women are far more respected there than here; that there are families living in the neighborhood of ‘the mines, and no man would attempt to insult a female there. ‘They say they never saw a better set of men anywhere, and crime is less than in any one of the United States, with all the advantages of civil government. Persifor Smith's proclamation about foreigners is laughed at, because it is impossible to carry it into execution, There is no“ native” feeling there. There room enough, and to spare. The Indians were working harmoniously with the white men in the mines, Before their arrival, they did not know the value of the gold on which they trod. When these gentlemen left, there were thousands upon thousands arriving. and they met parties armed as if they were going to war, an absurdity which they seon find out yy experience. ‘There is no necessity for arms ‘With regard to the conveniences of tife, everything can be procured at Sutter's saw mill, which is from 10 to 20 miles from the diggings, To be sure, provisions are pretty high, but then they are paid for in gold dust, randy was about 48 dollars per gailon, and flour about 60 cents per lb. in the mines. At the saw mill there are merchants of every description, and tools of all Kinds can be had No tools ought to be brought from ‘this, for it is ten to one that they will turn out useless, the dust sells at the mines for 1634 dollars per ounce. It is worth at the mint in Philadelphia 18 dollars. The following is a copy of a receipt or memorandum from the mint, giving the amount of gald deposited by Mr. Packwood, its fineness, and net value. ‘This is the first document of the kind that has been yet published :— Memorandum of gold bullion deposited the 1dth day of June, 1849, at the Mint of the Uaited States, at Philadephia, by Samuel Packwoo Descnipriow or BULLION—Cativonsta Gnas Weight Vatue Dedue- Net Before “After Péne~ ry tion Value.

On the 16th April. Maj. H. sailed in the U. 8. Quartermas- ter’s bark Edith, with one company for San Diego, and another company of the second are now about embark- ing from Monterey, on the bark T'asso, for the same post. On the 13th instant. the ship lowa arrived at Monterey with three companies of the second regiment of infan- try, commanded by General Riley. One of these com- panies remains in Monterey, where General Riley establishes, his quarters, and the other two have arrived at this port in the lowa. On the 16th of April the Fanny Forrester arrived at Monterey with one company of the third artillery and abut forty re- eruits for the artillery company now stationed at Monterey. The Fanny Forrester arrived at this port on the 2lth April, with the artillery company, which she brought from the United States. ‘This company is to be stationed at the Presidio barracks, and the dra- goon eompany now there is to goto Sonoma. There ure still five companies of General Riley’s regiment due, but a portion of them are known to have returned to the United States with the smull-pox, on board of the transport, and they are not expected for some time to come It is reported that the rank and file of the two com- panies of the 2d dragoons, at Los Angelos, are to be inerged in the two companies of the Ist, and that the officers of the former will return to the United States, Desertions are frequent from the command at Los An- gelos, and it seems probable that the companies will be broken up in consequence. ‘The two infantry companies which have arrived in the lowa, are said to be destined for some point near Benicia, In that neighborhood they will be in the thoroughfare to the gold mii 4 itis not difficult to foresee that, in a few weeks time, they will melt away by devertions, This is likely to be the case to a con- siderable extent in all parts of the country, for we hear of the road being filled with deserters from below, who are taking off public property with them te the mines. ‘The post at Benicia will be more favorably situated on the route to the gold mines, aud we beMeve that the command will be prematurely destroyed in consequence. On the 15th April, the ship Silvie de Grasse arriv from New York, with sixty recruits for Gen Riley regiment, commanded by Lieut. Garduer. They sailed on the 2ist instant, for Moutercy, in the bark Tasso. On the 2ist inst. the schooner Invincible, and on the 22d the schooner Captain Lincoln, both belonging to the Quartermaster’s department, arrived at this port from New York, with military stores Two other ves- sels of the same class are now hourly expected, The steam prepeller Massachusetts is now expected from Oregon. On her arrival she will be turned over, by the Quartermaster’s department, to the joint board of nayaland army officers, fur the survey of the coasts of Oregon and California. Latrsr ¥Rom THE Mixes.—In the failure, from some unaccountable cause, of our regular correspondence from the mines, we are compelled to make up an arti- cle from the meagre and unauthenticated particulars in general circulation. In most of the rivers where the process of gold dig- ging is carried on, the waters are still too high to work profitably. In most of the dry diggings the searcher is well rewarded, though we have not ascertained precise information as to the quantities extracted. We understand that many of tho new eomers ar sorely disappointed, and some from the United States are about to return in the California. We believe their disappointment does not follow so much from any doubts they may have as to the existence of great quantities of the precious ore, as from the life of toil, exposure and privation to which tho gold hunter is subjected. ‘The most reliable accounts state the number of persons actually engaged in the mines at about 8,000; and probably one-half of these are Americans, and an additional eighth Californians. The feeling is very general among the Americans and Californians, that foreigners should not be allowed to dig for gold. They think that they alone should be entitied to all the ad- vantages of the mines, and they believe that such course would secure the permanent prosperity of the country, by preventing the mines from swallowing up its whole productive industry. Public meetings on the subject are talked of, and it is proposed that memo- rials be cent to Congruss, requesting a law granting permits to dig. and authorizing such permits to be given to none but American citizens, There has been considerable difflulty in different ortions of the mines between the whites and Indians. t is impossible to eay who were the aggressors in the first instance; but it is no doubt true that the whites are becoming impressed with the belief that it will be absolutely necessary to exterminate the savages be- fore they cun labor much longer in the mines with se- curity. Two weeks since we published an account of the murder of five Oregonians by the Indians, on the Mid- die Fork, and gave the names of two of the men killed, We have since learned that the names of the other three were Robinson; Thompsop, and English. On the receipt of this intelligence at the Sawmill, a party of twenty-five Oregonians went in pursuit of the In- dians, and came upon a large rancheria, on Weber's creck. A fight occurred, in which some. fifteen or twenty Indians were killed, and fifty or sixty taken prisoners. ‘The prisoners were driven down to Culloma, where all but seven were released. About sundown the seven prisoners madea concerted attempt to escape, when five of them were shot, and two succeeded in get- ting away. We hear a few complaints of sickness, but generally, we believe, the health of the miners is good. All kinds of piece goods are gradually falling in Price, and the prospects are that the arrivals daily an- tieipated will reduce them still more, and the general Impression ts that in a fow months merchandise gene- rally will scarcely bring costs and charges Ready made clothing, especially the best articles, commands good prices, and will probably continue to 0 £0 Provisions of all kinds are in no danger of becoming too plentiful, . Lumber and building materials of every description are in demand, and will yield a profit of one to three hundred per cent.

To begin—the vessels now in port number sume sixty, consisting of an equal proportion of ships, briga, an schooners, most of which are Chilian and Peruvian bottéms. The only vessels direct from the United States are the bark John W. Carter, from New York; ship Auckland, from Boston; schooner Mary and Ellen, from Salem, Mass.; and United States steam propeller Edith, arrived on the 23d ultimo. The John W. Carter was sold to one of our California merchants, and has left for Oregon, to bring down a load of lumber. Lumber is worth from $560 to $625 per thourand feet. Nearly all of the smaller class of vessels of 70 tons and under (being foreign bottoms), have been sold to Americans, to navigate the bay of San Francisco and its tributaries. A vessel of 50 tons readily commands from $6,000 to $8.00. They are used to transport goods and passengers. Freight to Stockton, $18 per bbl; from thence to the mines—dis- tance, two days’ travel—the freight on a barrel of pork is $50 per 100 Ibs., or $150 per barrel. Pork is worth in the mines $1 50 per pound; brandy $16 per bottle, and is used as freely at the mines, at that price, as a glass of brendy at Hewlett’s Exchange. One of the diggers came down to town a few days since, from the mines, 4nd was asked by one of his acquaintances how he suc: ceeded.

Renaissance, arrived here yesterday trom Tam- pico, files of the Noticioso of that pert to the 23d ult., and of El Siglo from the city of Mexico to the 19th. They contain very little news of sufficient interest to call for voluminous extracts, The war in the Sierra is yet far from being extin- guished, although one of the principal leaders of the insurrection bas submitted to the government. An agreement to suspend hostilities had been signed by General Bustamente and Don M, Verastegui, the latter in the name of Don E. Quiros, a chief of the rebels, and the document had been brought to the capital by Colonel Robles, for the approvul of the President. Subsequently, fresh hostile demonstra- tions hed been made by the Indians, in the direc- tion of San Luis Potosi, and they had created consider- able uneasiness among the authorities of that city, which, by the injudicious abandonment of command. | ing positions by Bustamonte’s subordinate officers, lay quite exposed to theirinoursions, They urgently appeal to the government for protection.
