Williamson is one of affection, and reflects credi: not only on him, but speaks in eloquence of Gen. Walker’s coasideration for who first embarked with bim in the expedition ofthe Vesta, Mr. T. B. Williamson, one of the original “Pity-six,’? who came down with Gen. Walker, was wounded very severely at the battle of Bivas. The ball entered the left thigh, and —— near the groin, where it has remained ever since. Mr. W. obtaimed leave of absence from the army and went to San Francisco to obtain medi cal aid; but im that city the operation of extracting the ball was considered too dangerous, aud the sufferer bas been subjected to a continued , com- pelling bim to use crutches. At times, too, the im order to move, he requires pain is excrutiating, and assistance. Recently, Mr. Williamson concluded to go to New Orieaps and place himself under the medical care of Dr. Stone, whose reputation is co-extensive with science as @ su practitioner. On arriving at Virgin Bay, he it to his brother, who was then Quartermaster this city, and here he was detained over one steamer. The pain of the wound makes it dangerous travelling, unless the utmost care is exercised, and Capt. Williamson to Gen.

He soon recovered, and is now on the regular attendance of his duties.

It is not my intention to enter into any discussion con- cerning the more particular causes of the epidemic. which formerly prevailed among the recruits of our army. lImprudence in eating fruit, and the abuse of slcoholic liquors, has done much to fill the grave yards. A direct miasmatic mtiuence pervades, just before the commencement of the rai: y seasov, this whole distric’, and the necessary crowding at times of troops in bar- racks, also the neglect of the sound rules of Hygiene, has done most to increase the mortality. However, in all the published works on similar epi- demics in the United States and Europe, the mortality is set down at a much greater ratio than twat which has occurred here; for instance, from the statistics of Dr. La Loche, in Gibraltar, in 1814, with a popa ation ot 10,000, the mortality was more than one half, the number of deaths being 5,946.

The mines were giving forth fortunes to thousands; but the rich yaileys still re- mained shut up with their untold wealth. Gradually the plough and the hoe came into use, and hundreds relin- quished the pick and spade for the more profitable appli- cation of farming. Wealth ascended from the soil like a great giant unbound from captivity.. Thousands realized immensely; and an hundred thousand people, who had constantly looked to the Atlantic States for a home, be- came permanent eettlers in California Now her reputa- ticn is world wide, and but few there are who would not like to live in the Eureka State. The crowd still sets that way, and two lines of steamers, with a host of clipper ships, are necessary to take the emigrants thither who desire homes in a new land.
