COUNTY and CITY OFFICIAL PRESS
CaLponsta.—It iss remarkable coinct
dence, if not Pruvidentis. , that the discovory of gold in this State, so a8 to excite
general attention, was not known until by
purchase it became part of the Federal
Union. Théte is hardly a doubt that it was
known by the early discoverers that the
precious metals were here. Among the
first trophies by Cortes in 1524 Were sumpies of California pearls, likely from the
Guif of California, and it was reported that
the Peninsular had gold and gems. Possession was not taken of California until
1569, and it came under the control of the
Society of Jesus or Jesuits, in 1619° They
are. said to have dissuaded the Indians from
‘digging. because of the influence 1t had on
their habits. The Indians, still later, frequently were found with ornaments of gold;
but: although quite a number of settlers from
the United States and -Europe’ were here,
: and the:region of the gold mines had been
frequently in the path of hunters and trappers, it was not until 1848, two years after
the United States took: possession and ten
after Gen. Sutter fermed the settlement of
New Helvetia, that Mr. Marshal and others who were constructing a mill for the
General, that the discovery, which rose to
euch importance, was made. It is so recent
that wi remember the intense excitement
and rapid movement of men and ‘merchandize for the El Dorado. Up to November
49, five hundred vessels hud arrived and
two hundred were on their way, That ventures were lost und disappointments were
* numerous, is very certain; but that far beyond any ressonable expectation or. thie
greatest probabilities, California im her
mipes, and their immense returns of the
precious metals, and the financial mfluence
——it—has-exerted—in_ trade, on change, has
done more than any single country of the
same population, there cannot be a reasonable doubt. It is bard to’ measure that ipfluence. In gold alone, she has exported
and thrown into the tide of money circulation, 50 millions in the regula qurrent of
exchange every year fo 8, Desides
the amounts carried by returning successful
immigrants who have invested in. other
countries their gains, aftet being foragers
heré, whieh would probably earry~the-return¥up te one thousand mitiions.of dollars.
~ We use the term forager in no degrading
sense, but as indicating the reasons why.
we have not shared more largely in the gen
eral prosperity we have produced ; although
we have kept pace, if not surpassed any
other community of the same population in
the same time. Who can tell how the State
built up and sustained commercial and wanufactaring enterprises, and through them
all the specialities of business'and industry?
. Who can measure her influence in, sustain.
ing the National credit in ibe hon Hope,
ofsevere triet, and how much the exchequer
of the Union has and will depend upon us
for-ite-immovable basis of credit, avd what

, astonishes the world 7» We are aware that,
stimulated by and following in the discovery
here; other mines, equally productive it
may be, have been opened, and a8 cCompetitors forthe palm.in respect to mining returns; but this dies not detract one jota
from our own capability to sustain our precedence in all the elements tiecessury to

Cost oF A PiiGrimace TO Mecca.—
One of the querv-mothers of the Turkish
court being desirous of making a pilgrimage to the “holy city” of her religion, instead of going by the usual traveled routes,
-which would have made her journey _pleasant and not very expensive, preferred to go
the whole way by land, covering a distanee
of 1,600 or 1,800 niles, three-fourths of it
over sandy deserts, where every comfort
and luxury to whieh she was accustomed in
the seraglio was to be conveyed on the
backs of cumels, accompanied by a suit of
two hundred, including women, eunuchs.
pipebeurers, cooks, curpet-spreaders, and
heaven knows what beside. This royal
vietim-of bigoted ostentation performed ber
weary journey over these desolated Wastes
bringing back with her probably some baskets of holy e»rth from Mecea, a few. bottles of bitter water trom the fountain of
Zem Zen, and a small bill for the Turkish
treasury to pay, amounti: g te $270,000.—
