Ihave the honor to transmit a copy of my reply, and also copy of afew remarks which it ‘was thought I should addrees to the people to allay an ufcauded apprebension prevailing among them, Captain Newton, of the Engineer corps, was detached yesterday, with an escort of an officer and thirty man, and the most experienced guide of the mountains, James Bridger, to examino thoroughly the country fram this point to the head of Muddy creek, which flows into Bear river, I believe the elovated table land between this and ‘the western end of the Cache valley can be asconded by easy gradations, aud tha: ihe opposite side can be des- wonded into Cache valley without difficulty. If a good Toad should be found practicable, as Texpeot, I would ree- pectfully miggest that the commander of the forces here may be authorized te ordor its construc.ion immediately. The only communication between important districs abould not long be aliowed to continue through long and difficult canonn easily odstructed.

THE NEW GOLD DIGGINGS. Our San Francisco Correspondence. San Francisco, Jane 21, 1868, It would be bard to convey to the roader out of Califor- nia a conception of the intensity of the excitement that prevails in every part of the State, concerning the Frazer and Thompson river mines. Not since the discovery of gold in California, ten years ago, bas there been anything to equal it in the Usted States. Every steamer snd sail- yng vessel that leaves bere is choked up with passengers, and the tide of emigration appears only to have just set ip, The excitement rages with the utmost fary, aad noth- ing # thought or spoken of save the richnées and extent of the new Fl Dorado, Politics, the Utah war, and evory- thing that could interest, bave been forgotten in the al- ‘most universal desire to reach the bleak, but supposed an. riferous fields of the Hudson Bay Company's territory. Old and young, married and unmarried, merchant and mechanic, all are going to the new diggings. Our popula- tion, made up as It ie, of adventurers, reckless, and many disappointed men, yields its thousaoas to the stream that ret towards , aod it would seem wo are only at the commer tof the exodur, There is no use dony- ing that tho fever has reached a high point, and there are anfllcient grounds for the belief that unless somthing oo. curs to lessen its violence, California will lone at « low cal culation one-third of ita male inhabitants within tho next fix months. The boats and stages from the \nterior arrive daily, freighted with thelr hundreds of anxious gold seek- ers, eager to reach the scene of the new discoveries. The crowd cannot be stayed for a moment—they go determined to discover the value of the manes, as to whieh it ‘# well here to any some doubts are expressed. The spirit of a4. vontore that mover the people, and the hope of acqutring wealth by & month's !abor, aro levers {t is useless to atte mp, to counteract. The emigrants that have reached the new mines say, in consequence of the climate and high water, that a delay of three mouths is proper to allow successta! operations to be carried on; yet every steamer and ail ing vesrel takes off ite load of passengors, Hostile and daring Indians, well armed, vigorous aad brave, who lo babit the country—a Darren and waste region, an inhos pitable climate, and a route upariver full of peril—are nO odstecies to hem. They go resolved tw be among the Ortt to gather the precious sands. Callforala, during the part eight years, has had macy gold excitementa, but ever anything to equal what has for the Iast inoath and ja Dow raging throughont the State. Toe crowd of mioers that arrive here from the interior \# astouishing, and of course causes slarm to those inierested in the ft} en, while the price of : must ly injure Dosiness in California by drawing off a ur best popuiation, but in the end it will be an y stirecting s large emigration frum the Hast by wome of onr papers that ifthe informa. tion of the discovery of gold im the British territory in sufficient quantities to pay for labor at California rates should prove to be correct, we may expect soon to hear of Britieh steamers being pot on the line from Panama to Vancouver's I#iand, touching at San Francisoo.
