The United States mail steamship Cherokee, Captain Windle, arrived yesterday, bringing news from Cali- fornia of a later date by five days than that brought by the Prometheus. The amount of specie’on board is two millions of dollars. The Cherokee brings the mails to the fifth of December last. ‘The Cherokee experienced very severe gales of wind and aheavy headsea for the first five days from Chagres, in consequence of which her passage was very much lengthened. Had she escaped these gales, the passage from San Francisco to New York would have been made im 233; days. This is the qaickest passage that has ever been made, being only 26 days 11 hours from San Francisco toN ew York.

It was supposed they were committed by organized bands, whose object was plunder. One or two murders had also been committed in the Southern mines, it Wea thought, by the pame pactive. Vigaace gomyait tees had been organized in nearly all of these districts, for police purposes. A new route has been discovered across the Sierra Ne. ‘vada, which is saig to be superior to any other. It saves, fromthe Sink of Humboldt river to Sacramento city, about fifty miles in distance; besides, it crosses the mountains at a far less elevation than any other route in that part of the State. Beveral projects of railroads are discusred with much interest. One is talked of between Sacramento city and Marysville ; another between Sacramento city and Ne- vada city; and a third between Sacramento city aud Auburn. There is also one proposed between Stockton and the Southern mining regions, The route for a pro- railroad between Yan Francisco and San Jose ts now being surveyed. ‘The steamer Golden Gate made the run from San Francisco to Panama in 12days!

The Mines. {From the San Francisco Picayune, Dre 4 | ‘The aggregate product of the placer mines duriag the last four weeks, may be assumed, in the absence of reli le data, at twemty per cent leea than during the month of October, This decrease is attributable to va rious causes, but principally to a very general cessation of active operations by the miners, preparatory to going into winter quarters. und to the annual rise in the mountein streams, in and near the beds of which, au im- tense amount of labor has been expended during the months of August, September and October, These strenins usually commence «welling previous to the set- tire in of the rains, and suspend labor in them before there is sufficient water in the higher localities to en. able the miners to cowmence work in the dry diggings. The river beds, which have yielded very largely during the season just closed, are by no means exhausted, even m euch places as have been most worked. ‘Tae works are abandoved, and will be materiutly damaged by the winter floods, but not to such an xtevt as to require a very great outlay in recommencing operations another searon. From clore observation and experience, acquired by @ residence of early two years in the minus, we hazard nothing in expressing the opinion that, by the agency of improved machinery, and the adoption of more ¢fiivient modes of working the mines, the annaal yield of gold trom this source alone, will, in leas then five years, equal the entire product of the present year from all ecurces. ‘This opinion will be sustained by most men who are acquainted with the great ricbness of nearly all tho streams thus far tected, and the comparatively limited extent to which they have been worked, Even the bars, that have been the theatre of the mcat extensive operations, generally continue to be us rich, apparently, 4s they were whea first discovered. ihe centinued productiveners of sush places is, of course, attributable to improvement in the manuer of working, by which the gold previously passed over is collected. Wa doubt if » population equal to that engazed during the part season, would by able to exhavet this branch of mining in bait a century, it ever. Noverthelesa, the ox perience of every surceeding day seems to develope the fact that river mining is less productive, in the aggre. gate, than the dry, or “ cayote ” placers. Until the past year the impreesion was common that the guriferous strata was coptined to very limited dis- tricts, or, if more extensive, buried at ingecestble depths benenth the hills, The fallacy of this notion has been iaconte-tibly shown by the discoveries that have been made in ell parts of the country, of rich deposits in lo- calities where, a year since, it would have been deomed folly to louk for gold. It can now scarcely be doubted that the entire district within which gold is kuown to exist, is one continuous mags of aurl- | ferous formations; and that ulmost any spot that may be elected’ will prove of sufficient rich: ness t) justify working with proper machinery, From all’ parts of the country wé have the most on- soubsuiny inieliiyence of the continued productivensss | rhallow placer mining, to which atten. alincet exclusively devoted during 184% ery reasonably, was supposed to be we nigh exhausted during those two years. But one of the great sources of wealth to the miners during the coming winter, will be the immense yuantities of earth thrown up during the dry season, and which will be washed as foon as sufficient water falls for the purpose. ‘The amount cf earth thus prepaved is almost incredi- ble, and is generally known to be rich. We may, there- fore, anticipate an immense yield from this source. Without anytbing lke reliable’ data, we believe it is safe to estimate the whole amount of earth now ready for washing, and which will be worked before spring, at 200,000 ‘tors, and equal in valne to $75 per ton, which will give an sggregate of $22.500,000. From theindefinite information before us on the subject. we believe this eatin e to be every way below, rather than above, the truth. Cayote mining, by which the great bulk of treasure has been produced sinee the close of the last rainy sea- son, will be measurably suspended during the winter months, but oply to be recommenced with renewed suc- cers inthe spring. In the meantime, those who have been engy in that branch of labor will resort to the ae surface diggings, which promise an abundant eld. A locality of very considerable extent has been re- cently discovered im Mariposa county, which, from the acccunts received, excels in richness anythiug yet known inthecountry. Ifthe stories of this wonderful place be not greatly exagzerated—which we think more (ban probable it will itself swell the monthly product ot the courtry toa figure considerably above that of any month of the past season Making allowance for exag- geration, we have no doubt but the unusual richness of the point in question—Bear Valley—will make a percep- tible increaee in the average yield. From other parce of Mar pora we have favorable cooounts of the general suc- cess of the miners in every aepar:ment of labor. Inthe next great mining district Tuolumne couaty, even it lccelities that have been incesaaatly worked since 1849, the miners are reaping @ rich harvest,and in placers more recomtly opened, the yield is more abun- dant In Calaveras, and the conntigs adjacent on the north, @ profitable eeascn is anticipated, and miners are only awaiting the coming of the rains to commence winter operations. The whole regioa of countey on the several branches of the American avd Yuba tirer: which tbere isa more dense mining population than im ary other svetion of the State, promises # prosperous reacon, in ell the departmente of mining labor, Private advices from the Klamath represent the mices im that region as more productive than at any previous period ; | but owing to the high laticude. and other causes unfa. vorable to winter mining, we do not anticipate large receipts from thet quarter during the present season Experiments in juartz grinding are continued in va- ricus parts of the country, on an extensive scale, A very large capital bas been iuvested in machinery, implements &e , but, thus far, without any Temunerating retutn. But it is moae thon probable that most of the experi- ments thus far made will fail. But ® small pertion of the mechinery 1 ow in use it of sufficient power, simplt- Wty, and durability, to answer the purpose of crushing the rock; while nearly ail the various modes of «paral ing the gold from the erushed rock, have been found de fective. But the indomitable energy and enterprise of those engaged in this business will not rest until such adegree ofeficiency and perfection has been atiained in the construction of machinery, and the details of working, as will ensure the general success of juartz mining. Altegether, the prospects from all parts of the Stateare highly favorable to an unusually successful season in mining, and we predict that the products and shipments of gold during the first rix ‘months of 1862 will be larger than during any similar period. We wiil venture to esti- mate the amount at $60,000 000.
