More News from Kern River, We have bad a conversation, says the Californian, with a Mr. Houston, from Kern river, who arrived in town on Saturday last, and who gives us the following items, whieh our readers can take -for what they are worth; ‘there is such ide discrepancy in the reports that veach us, that we neither can nor will vouch for any- thing hereafter pertaining to the subject. ‘We bave stayed with the “River” as long as]wo could, and hs ve thus far managed to keep it in the lead, but hereafter the public can cypher the matter out as they may feel disposed. He says that there have not been twenty old miners who have left the mines. Of this elass from #1x to eight huvdred are contentedly at work, and realizing from five to fifteen and twenty dollars par day. A large number are at the forks of the river; par- ties are seattered up and down the main stream and far up on the forks; several stores are in operation aud doing well; recently very few have left: those who have here- tofore crawn out are such as could be well spared, and ‘their room far preferable to their company. Mr Houston says that any man canmake five and six dolarsa day eertain. Tis, even, is far more preferable than works ing in the settlements at thirty and forty dollars a month, Affairs at the d'ggings are nov on mach bet- ter footing than at first. Lumber is being furnished in abundance by: whip-sawyers. Stores and blacksmith re affording abundant facilities for the supply of the necessaries of life and the requisite implements for labor, ond tbe recent rains and melting snows are fur- wishing ample supplies of water in diggings hitherto too dry to beavailavie. Companies are being formed for the purpose of taking out the water from the river, avd py means of canals carrying it into the richer localities, Apd ag soon as the weather will permit new explora ticns will be made into the mountains, and over upon their eastern slopes. We have received by Bell's exprees, which arrived in town on Sunday last, the following latter from a gentle- wan who bas been in the mines for some time past; his statements are reliable:— Kery River, March 20, 1855. Every old miner seems to be doing well, aod is satis- fied; and the best proof of this is, they always present well filled purses when they make purchases, and pay for everything they buy. In tke rush to toxs place there has been a large num- Derot “dead bes and loafers mixed up with tue crowds daily a: g. Who, as soon as they enter the mines commence their complaints, and express diseatis- faction because the stores have adopted the carh tem. These fellows will not work—either from principle or laziners; it 1s, therefore, tolerably hard work for them to live here, and they leave, grumbling, giving a dis- eouraging accoun. of the mines—and for them, very just- Jy, too. for no one can live here unless he works, and is not wanted bere. The mines are pronounced good by the most expe- rienced miners. Any man who is able, and does work, ean toake from four to six doilars per day. As soon as the snows melt and the weather will per- mit, mining operations will be carried higher up in the mountains, where it is thought much richer loc: 8 exist than those now worked, and ere long you may ex- pect to hear reports surpassing any gone forth through your columne. Thave r nearly all you have published in regard t this piace, and in my opinion I bave read nothing that was counter to the trath; and I, in common with the large majority of the minera here, can testify to your statements as to the causes of the discontent and conse- quent departure of many from here. I never hava sesa as many lazy, worthless fellows as have congregated here within the last few 8. Two or three hundred of them haye been bere since I came, who have never etruck a lick of work, or even left their camp one han- @red yards, unless it was to loaf around grog shops. How ia it possible for such fellows to make money? I heard a mioer offer a man four dollarsa day and board him, to work at mining, which he refused, gsking more; at the same time complaining that the work was ‘too I learn that some no-account loafers have been talking of mobbing you for publishing the trath. Their threats are sufficient to establish their true character in the estimation of men of sense, who live by the labor of their own hands. REDUCTION OF FARE ON THR NICARAGUA StRAMERS.—Oar whole commanity will be rejoiced to learn that the com: Dimation to insure high prices, which has existed daring ‘the past year, between the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany and the scopy ms Company, has been broken—and ‘that the Nicaragua Company, in compliance with the p>- pular wish, has reduced the fare from the Atiantic States to this city, and back again. To Mr. Garrison is due the credit of this important change. He went to the East with the avowed intention of having the onerous rates heretofore exacted reduced; and by his influence with the company in New York,’ he bas succeeded. Thus is one of the greatest obs our further progress re moved. With cheap his country, the tide of po- pulation must flow hitherward, and help to develope the almost untouched resources of our infant State. The Nicaragus Company bas now some of the finest boats on ‘the ocean—the Uncle 2am, which leaves on Monday next, Ddeing one of the best. The transit route is in good or- der.

OUR VALPARAISO CORRESPONDENCE, Vauaratso, March 15, 1855, A Steam Line Between Panama and Valparaiso Advo cated—Failures of the British Line—Detention of American Mails and Merchandise—Advantages of a Trade with Chili—Yankee Navigation of the Bio Bio River—Stages from Valpararso to Santiago—Annexa- tim—The Allied Pacific Squadron—PetroPaulowski and Sebastopol—Feeling for the Crar—The Immaculate Conception Furor—The United States Ships of War. Can you not persuade, through your world-wide cireu- lated Herap, the estavlishment of a line of steamers along the Pacific coast, from Pavama to Valparaiso? The last two steamers of the British royal mail line have failed to connect with the steamer from New York to Aspin- wall, notwithstanding that the railroad fiaished across the Isthmus makes the time of travel from New York to Panama only nine days. The British steamers wait at Panama until the morning of the arrival of the Ameri- can mail at Aspinwall, steam off two or three hours before its arrival at Panama, and confessedly with the intention of obliging the United States government to appropriate some fabulous amount of their surplus funds to the carriage of our mail bags. Our corras- pondence waits on the Isthmus fifteen days, between steamers, so that all American merchants—and their. name is Jegion—and others along the coast, receive their letters a fortnight later than they would were the policy of our Anglo brethren a little more liboral. The British line is one of slow coaches, and occupies twenty-two days in the voyage from Panama to this port, Any line of vessels, even our North river tugs, could do it in sixteen days, stopping at all the principal interme- diate ports. This, with nine days to New York, would be but twenty-five, and with nine more to Liverpool, or ten to Paris, correspondents would receive their letters, &e., in thirty five, instead of fifty days, or not at all, the former term always occurring, and the latter sufficiently frequent to make a connection at Panama, and the regular receipt of the mails, the exception, and not the rule. As to whether such a scheme would be profitable or not, I will give but # single item in proof of my opin- ion that it would be. The price of provisions all along the route is less than with you. Coal is not high. The present price of paseage from Panama to this port is two hundred and seventy: four dollars, and with extras, never lees than three hundred, and the accommodations cannot, in any respect, compare with any of our ocean steaniers. Now that the railroad is completed, there will be much greater travel by the Panama reute than heretofore, and stock would be taken to any ex- tent, and’ most gladly throughout Chili, and par- ticularly here, where all are disgusted with the en- tire proceedings of the present undertakers. Throw oat a hiot, cear Herraxp, in your omnipotent columns, and it it be taken, anxious and glad thousands will thank you with cheerfal gratitude. The enterprise of Charles Minturn, of your city, late of California, for the navigation of the Bio Bio river, in this State, is progressing successfully. Another Ameri. can enterprise worthy of mention, is the establishment of a line of four horse stages from Valparaiso to San- tiago, the capital, and another from Taleahuano to Con- ception, Beig in Santiago last week, I saw one of them come in, ‘The four horses flew along the street, and as it drew up infront of the hotel, a crowd collected to talk of Yankee enterprise, and some of annexation. Your capital articles, by the way, on the subject of the Galipagos Islands seem to have given the Chileans it so close at hand as Philo White’s annexatory pu to crown their satisfaction, old Kamehameha the Third succumbed to rum, and it was blazoned out to the world that “Crovonhotonthologes, the King, was dead,” sad the Sandwich isles were beyond the eager grasp of the barbarian North American, Tuey have made up their minds that, if he chooses to do it, the American eagle has an omnipotent gizzard with which ke can digest any- thing, even South American republics, and after roiling them over two or three times in his capacious maw, turn them out good and respectable lawyviding aiti: zens—and they evengo further, and are assured, upoa authority, that if the aforesaid gizzard should be over- worked and give out, Congress will vote him another, Great bird that, by Jove! The Chile journals continue their daily lampoovings against our devoted couatry. No one dreamsof replying to them. They prognostica everything that is terrible, and the reasous assigned for our downfall are too much like Gratiano’s, in the Mer- chant of Venice, to occupy, in reply, the time or pationse of any American, The Diario, in one of its daily casiags off, predicts an early revolution because there are 60,000 paupers in New York without employment Several French and British vessels of war have arrived lately, on their way to Honolulu, there to rendezvous prior to mating another abortive attack upon Petropau- lowski, which they all seem to consider the Sebastopol of the Pacific H. B. M.’s steamer Brisk left yesterday. Great excitement existe here concerning the European war, The Americans seem to be in favor of our friend the Autocrat, to whom the Ch'lians compare an eagle in flight. Bets are freely offered of five hundred dollars that Sebastopol will not be taken, One of that amount was taken at the club a few days ago. Chili has been in a fervid state of rel’gious excitement during tome days past, owing to the Papal decision of the immaculate conception, and the clergy, who have so mucb, too much influence in state affairs, are only awaitirg the arrival of the papal bull to show the world of lookers-on in Vienna their intense apnrecistion, and their over: boiling satisfaction at learning beyond all sab- lupary doubt, the sinless condition of their virgin pat- roness. Bonfires and rockets, theatres and processions, gun firing and fing flying will be the order of the day when the important document is published to the world. ‘We have but one vessel of war in port now, the Inde- penden:e, Commodore Merwin’s flag ship, Captain Tat- pall, commanding.

It was claimed that {t was wrong, de- eidedly wrong, a breach of international right, an usur- — of comity, and we cannot remember what else. suffice it to say, tnat remonstrances were made to ‘Wood, and he, in his tarn, remonstrated with the ac- credited representative of the Sardin Washington, which ht about ¢ promise, on the part of t! rhe “not to do a0 any more.”’ We observe, however, that lstely, there has been quite an influx of paupers from Mew York into our city, who all ayow that they were sent here, their pas. sre being paid by the Overseer of the Poor of New York. it were wrong for the Sardinian authorities to send their pan to New York, it is equally wrong for the New York authorities to send their mendicants here, when they beeome chargeable upon the county—upon our tax-payers. Our Alms House is and has been filled 5 abner with paupers sent here from Montreal, jow , and other large cities, equally as able to sup- port their poor as we are.—Albany Argus, April 24. Love, Disarporntuent, AND Surorpe.—A gentle man named Willoughby, overseer for Dr. Wm.

Forxep Rapish Bau, Ente Cava, April 14, 1855. Gev7s anp Sirs—Your gratifying aud inspiring lester was handed to me this morning just aa I was castiog off my fasts at Spread Eagleville. ‘I hardly need say that [ was about as much astonished aa if a taander p had struck me, and I felt entirely unprapared to answer it at once in a manner befitting the great and glorious | hme. As 've concluded to haul up here for the night, I’ve taken my pen and ink ont of the locser, and have also taken my seat on my chest—my blae ava-chest I maan— to reply to your inquiries, and to give you a few of the sentiments that weigh so heavily upon my stomach I must confess that I am not much of @ scholar myself, but my cook is pretty good at reading, avd I have the benetit ot bis edvice and assistance. I’m one of the people, and my heart is where it ought to oe, under this coagh old oltenin, ‘and there when duty calls you’llalways findit. I have nothing to keep back, and I am ready to show hands with any man in the country. ‘You know m2 all gents,”’ I might say in the touching language of Pa- trick Henry to Napoieon Bonaparte—You know me all, and it is hardly necessary {or me to observe that I was raised in these parts, and that I grew up among tae vir- tues and vegetabies of your jatoers. In my early years, ere sin could blight, I was placed oa the deck of # canal boat, and ever since I have followed the vocation to which I was called by an indulgent parent, and have lived for the most part on this sheet of water, making my home, as it were, ‘in the trough of the sea.” This life b: assuredly extended my sphere of obser- vatio sharpened my wits. There 1s a good deal to zee betwixt bere and Aibany, and a gocd deal to learn (n freighting pork aud onons, together with members of Congress and some missionaries. My frequent dealings too, with the New York merchants, bowever much they mey have been calcula:ed to strain my morals, have tenced to give me broader and higher views of human nature. Yes, I have enjoyed privileges in my cue- quered existence, «nd I have been enabled by the bless- ings of Providence and some fortunate speculations in butter azd cheese, to lay up a trifle against a windy day, and to erect for my aflectiouate wife ani beloved children a family resiaence, which, Iam proud to say, stands twenty by thirty on my own land, aad combines under its hospitable roof ail the modern improvements, including a wash boiler and pump in the kitchen, Still, gentlemen, notwithstanding all these advantages and fe! position in society, 1 hed no dreams of political am- bition. It never occurred to me until I received your letter that I had those peculiar qualificatioas emincatly fitting me to grace the capitol and adorn the constitu- tion. But it bas been impossible for me to conceal my- self from your penetrating eyes. You have found me out, and in soliciting the honor of using my nam3 on the ticket for Presicent, you ask for my views on the va- rious questions of the day. Now, it is useless for me to attempt to state all my opinions in full. I know they woulda be eagerly read, but with my careful way of writing—slow and sure— down-strokes heavy and up-strokes light, I shouidn’t ff through them io a week. Besides, there would arély be room in this canal boat to express my, feelings without knocking away buikheads, and, moreover, if ‘tis all the same to you, gents, I prefer not to commit myreif by any unguarded words. There are some points, however, that must not be omitted, And, first, with regard to my political sentiments, I believe I am entirely unembarraseed, and free to accept & nomination from any party. I am not exclusive and articular in my views, My main politica areof the KE nribus Unum school, peaceable enough to friends, but knock down and drag out when it comes to foes and ma- rauders. I’m plain spoken, all my sentiments staight- built and square-toed, up and down, right and left, and never surrender. I’ve always ve for Jackson, and expect to do so just as long as he is a candidate, As to newspapers, I never read them. I want no theories aad speculations, and as long asI know what I’m aboat, I ask nobody to tel me. I never had but three months schooling in my life, and I’m glad of it. I’m a self made man, and practice is my motto, Talk about statesmen and lawyers, the country wants self-made practical men. Give me Daboil’s arithmetic and a fair start, and 1’lt agree to cypher the constitution out of the way of snags and sand barr, and to keep the old cri ug and taat —blow high or blow low. To sum upall, I’m for the ster-spangled benner, now and ferever, one’ and insepa- rable; and when at last, in the language of a fallen pa: triot, ‘I’m a gone-ner,” I trust that our proud bird, as it brash ver river and mountain on its errands of mercy, without regard to railroad or turapike, will be enabled te point with extended wind to my humile rest- ing place, and to say in unaffected accents, * Here lies true American.” Iam not quite settled in my views in relation to the bank and the tariff. Sometimes! thiok a bank is well enough, and then again I think itis not. As to the ta riff, Il have never noticed its effect on the ‘ Uncle John,’’ but 1 m_ willing to be guided by the precepts of our Pa- ritan fathers I have nv hesitation in saying that on the subject of temperance I am ell right, Iam opposet to New Eng- Jana rum, and I speak it boldly. 1 have battled this monster of iniquity for more than thirty years, and have confined myself on principle to plain and unadul- terated whiskey. ‘There’s a barrel of whiskey at Tammany Hall, and it has always been my custom to have a free spigot in my cellar for tbe varioas mechanical and artistical purposes cf household economy. Pure Monongahoia I believe to be the simple beversge of nature. Vegetable in its origin—the nutricious lite blood of rye, as cider 14 the essential juice of apples—it corrects the frigidities ot cold water, kills the elemental tadpole which often lurks in the crystal rpring, and extirpates those ansi- duities of the system which will sometimes creep into ‘the best regulated families.’’ It only remains for me to epesk of my religious views. I suppore it makes but little difference about th for although religion is a very good thing to have in « fami- ly— there seem be but little call for it down in Wash- ington. 1 my well state, however, that Iam not at all bigoted—; Ido not confine myseif to any particu: lar sect. When lam at bome Sundays, I occasionally to Parson Gallap’s meeting, and I did sub- Hdow’s mite’? towards the new bass-viol— but my views are not bounded by the Saybrook platform, Buffalo platform, nor any other platform.

It says there could not have been less than 12,000 men—-including 1,000 cavalry—present, with abundant and excellent artillery; and it reiterates the which we noticed some dsys ago, in these words: In New World Spain occupies the rank of the first military power, and that, too, without including among its resources any uncommon element. * Ld Ane if the number of defenders of the Spanish hich a ee ep creat ‘men, 20 of no! wea ther aealiy..

MONEY HARKET. ‘Wepxespay, May 2—6 P.M. ‘The changes in the stock market today are hardly worth noticing, and there appears to be a daily decrease in transactions. Some of the leading railroad stocks fell off to-day abont one-eighth percent, The brokers complain very much of the dulness of business, and cannot satisfactorily account for the limited operations during the existence of such plethora in the money market, The contraction on the part of the banks is attri- buted partially to the scareity of the right kind of paper. Purcharers of stocks are waiting for later news from Eu- rope and California. They are always waiting for some- thing, and appear to have a mania for coming in at the highest point of th¥ market, instead of taking hold and going up with prices, It is out of tuch speculators that the brokers make their harvests. Holders of stocks are not dirposed to put their supplies upon the market. They can afford, and have the disposition to hold, feel- ing confident that the chance for coming in at lower Prices is too poor to take the risk. It is within about sixty days of dividend day for some of them, and as the rate is likely to be considerably larger than usual, as investments they will pay well. The future is so full of encouragement that it would te advisable to hold on, at even moderate sa- crifices. There was no marked movement to day in any stock. A few small lots of each class were sold at prices current at the close yesterday. The Stonington Railroad Company has passed its May dividend. Its net earnings will be appropriated to repairs of the road.

Anthracite is now retailed at $6 50 per ton- That there will be s further reduction in prices as the season advances, there is very little doubt. All the works for transporting this material to market are operated to the utmost extent of their facilities, and the number of men at work in the mining districts never ‘was greater. Labor is abundant, There is more offer- ing than can find employment, and there is, therefore, no danger of strikes. It will be many years before we shall again have any interruption in our coal trade from that cause. The cheaper coal is, the greater the consumption. It therefore benefits the consumer, the carrier, the dealer, the miner, and we are under the im- pression that it even benefits the owner of coal lands. It is well known that the price of coal was only saved froma heavy decline the past year by a pretty general suspension of mining operations for a period of four to six weeks, commencing in October; and notwithstanding this suspension, which was not voluntary, but forced, as the market would not take the coal, prices declined, and coal was s drug in New York the latter part of last season. More- over, nothing but the length and severity of the past winter prevented a considerable overstock in the New York and New England markets, and in Bostom the stocks were so heavy, and the demand for consumption #0 far shortof what was antimpated, that prices fet! during the winter, instead of advancing, as usual. Now, ifin such a year of general prosperity as the past, nothing but an absolute refusal to purchase, anda con- sequent inability to continue mining, prevented s great fall in the price of coal, as was certainly the case, what can be necessary but that dealer and consumer should apply the same remedy voluntarily and early, in order to prevent continual advances in price. and the same humbug and excitement which we have described as ox- sting the past year? Let every dealer and every consumer, great and small, buy during the months of seeeee $3,601,300 56 May, June and July so much as is needed for present wants, and no more, and they will still have five months vemaining in which to accumulate » winter stock, They will regulate prices, as they might have done last year; they will have abundant time to lay in « sufficient quan- tity tocarry them through until the spring opens, and if they should be obliged to pay éfen a heavy advance im price late im the year, yet the average cost of their stock will not be near #0 great as it would be under a regular month- ly advance in price; and further, they will be protested from @ decline in price occurring after they have accu- mulated heavy stock, which is always disastrous to dealers in this article, There ean be no question that sufficient coal can be mined and sent to market thie year fully to supply the wants of our people. No season, not excepting the last, ever passes without two or three momths of a decreased whether this dull period shall occur early, ao as to check an advance im price, or late, after they shal} bave taken in their supplies, and when of course every decline is to their disadvantage. @ repeat, that purshase ers of coal have the control and regulation of prices ie their own bands, and that nothing is needed but firm. ness on their part avd a determination not to be hum- bugged ; and moréever, that they should not be indue buy more than they actually need for present uses, by the idea that one advance must necessarily be followed by another, but let them deley large purchases until it is absolutely necessary to make them, and they will find that they hold im their hands power which they have hitherto little suspected. There ar@ al- ready indications of « rerolution among producers of coal to play last year’s game over again if they can, but it is hoped that the good sense of the community will frustrate their designs. It is utterly absurd that an ar- ticie which can be mined and carried to for ehipment, under present rates of labor and tolls at & cost not exceeding on an average $3 60 per ton, to New England, should command nearly a dollar higher, when every one knows that one-fourth of that difference will pay the producer a pro- fit sufficient to afford an exceedingly handsome return for the capital invested. The production of coal # an anomaly in the business of this country. No other article, of anything like its value in the aggregate, is produced within so smalls surface, and by so small a number; and this fact, while it makes association and a good understanding among producers easy and exceed- ingly profitable, makes it also necessary that those upom whom they depend for means to carry on their opera- tions should understand and be prepared to counteract. any attempts at imposition. There are no means by which this can be effected except those indicated above,, and to the use of these we recommend every purchaser of the article. a There is another feature of this trade whiclf is very re- markable. Certain large incorporated mining companies arein the habit of opening their books and taking large orders for coal, to be delivered during the season at & Price to be fixed by the sellers shortly before deliveries commence. Now this is doubtless a very convenientand profitable operation for the sellers, and no blame at- taches to them for managing their business in their own way, but it is, after all, only another branch. of tho humbug before alluded to. It 1s perfectly astonishing that any pureoaser should submit to be so whipped im to buying blindfold. It becomes » cause of still greater astonishment when it is known that a majority of these blind purchases are made by large steamboat and man- ufacturing concerns, managed by gentlemen who have the highest reputation in the community for shrewdness and business tact. There is one matter whieh, though universally understood among the coal trade, is not well considered by the community generally. Coal cannot be piled in large quantities without heavy expense, and, for this and other reasons, it is necessary for producers to find a market as fast, or nearly as fast, as the article is produced, and this is one great inducement for them to secure orders for deliv ry through the season. When the price is a fair and moderate one, there is no reason why such orders abould not be given; but it is perfectly Plain that one month’s suspension of all orders for ship- ment must either reduce price or stop production; the latter alternative is not very probable, when the profits are so great, If consumers and dealers will throw away the advantages of their position, so be it, but we again repeat that the regulation of prices is in their own hands: ace ty May 2, 1855. $5000 Vi ia 6's... 97 350 ahs CamCoale30 28 10000 Ind State 5’s.03 4 400 do. 68 160 10434 100 Erie bds of ’83 93. 5060 E bds of 75.530 1000 CO... see 11000 Til Cen RR bas. 1000MichCenfpe bas 5500 NYCRR bese d 89 100 NY Cen 7’s... 1023¢ 1000 C&RIsicRRdds. 96 200 CleveATold bds 75 7000 NiIalst’GLine. 86 6 shs BkNorthAm. 20234 10 G0. «004406 103 2: s Ss BBs FEZESSSSSESS SSSTERR Corn 10 Merchant: 100 Canton C 50 100 ae I 50 Nie Tra: 63 101 a 1656 50 Penn Coal 9: 100 Cum Cos!
