cocci ecient aecatinae: naee or trrer rere ee . ne rhe eB a a Ad rr: ¢ 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 id discharging obligations in a manner that , 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 build up aud populate a State, equal, if not surpassing any the world bas koown io the history of the past. * We do act undertake tu draw compari-. sons, bub to present. the faets in our own condition, only so tar as is necessary to give & foir view, of the facts, Australia is a geld eld of equal productiveness},and—no adiabs will brennan vast eurpire ‘but her " pusition so far South: ae well as other con. ditions, we-think arr diendvantngedusg, Nevada and the adjeining silve and gold benre ing districts are comparatively steril-, and “be our consomers, and all lack our comitivrcial® facilities and wit therefore. although to start (them) they diwindd eur ulation, aid in helping to bu Id up our cities and rural district id tieend, ~ ” 4 Reomunt OF CAVALUY.—Authority . bes been given bythe Seoratary of War te Pecruil a regiment of cavalry on the Pacific eoast.'

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.
