It only remains for the admin- istration party to put forth a third ticket, amd the campaign will thon be fairly opened, The interest felt in the result of tho contest for the gubernatorial nomination is very great, Weller ant Latham go into the convention with about ninety votes each, Nugent 45, and Deaver 22. At prosent Weller’s prospects look brightest; but as it will take about 125 votes to succeed, the result is yet very doubtful. The Latham party is bitterly opposed to Weiler, and thore is no chance of a fusion between them, Nugent’s frienas are equally hostile to Weller; but between Latham and Nugeat thor exists some sympathy. At the proseat time the friends of each candidate are sanguine as to the success of their fayorities. It is estimated that at least five thousand per.

Mauy peraons who Lave come bere without provisions or money arc compelled to work ae common laborers, at from $1 to $3 per day and board, until they cad procure means of susten: hry & the time peceasary to prospecting, building ‘ices, Ac, Otners, not finding gold the tid day, or disliking tho work necessary W oblaining it, leave the mines im dts- gust, after @ very short trial, deciariag there is no gold bere in payiog quantities, It should be remesabered guat the diecoveries made thus far are the result of but five weeks’ labor, In nearly every instance the gold is estimated by the miners as worth $20 per ounce, which, for gold collected by quicksliver, is certaialy a aigh yaivation, thowgh this ig vadoubtedly of very grest purity.
