Our correspondent advises that no one should atempt to go to the mines Without haying from euty-five to one hundred dollars as an outfit. Horses can be procured at the Dalles for from twenty-five to fifty dollars, and. there ig a. fine open country from thence to the mines, with . good grass for animals, The following information fs dcrived from reliable sources—among . ethers, from afgentleman: who has been in the country for twenty years, and has visited the gold region mentioned, There is no doubt of the existence of the precious metal in large quantities in the Shuswap mines, which embrace the tributaries of Thomp. ; son’s River, but there ds no) evidence of the existence of gold on Frazer's River. Parties ‘have returned to Portland, Oregon, within a few days past, who'¢ame down Frazer’s River, and they agreé.in describing the trip down as one. continued scene of peril and difficulty, Having consumed nearly all their provisions at the mines, and lost their animals, their only mode of getting away was trusting their lives in eanoes, and they esteem themselves peculiarly . fortunate in not being drowned, They say that the river is running with extreme rapidity, and it is out of the question to attempt to ge up by means of boats or canoes during a freshet.— { . Even during low stage of water, it is a matter of imminent risk to attempt it. The mines are located two hundred miles up the river, which is obstructed by a continued succession of falls and rapids, and large ‘boulders in the bed of the stream. The river is also confined for miles . by walled canons, the mountains on both sides rising many hundred feet almost perpendicularly. These facts will give some idea of the difficulties that beset the traveller by this route. The gentlemau before alluded to as having resided for twenty years in the country, says that . he esteems it criminal to induce any one to attempt to go to the mines by Frazer's River, as} it most end in starvation and death. Ile possesses an ample fortune, and no interest whatever in auy of the routes, and: his statements are entitled to comsideration,, Phe gentlemen . attached to the Hudsou’s Bay Company, when appealed toy have, without an exception, stated . that, by the Columbia, the Dalles au ‘the Okemagan River isthe only praetical route. Despite these facts, the tide ef emigration sets through Puget Sound, where difficulties of serious character await them. The party of miners who arrived from Frazer’s River are fitting out in Portland for the Shuswap) mines, and intended to go by the Columbia River route—a tolerable proof of their opinion in the matter. The above statements can be relied on, as we are personally acquainted with the gentleman from whom they are obtained, and . There were but two of them, the other was out of camp.

What the prospects are of his 1 t pintys weet Fenton: writes tha r he was. at Nauvoo conversed Ww thE. Bitoinan, who is wartted to Joo Smith’s widow. He says: = » Tsatat the table with the family, consisting of Bitoman and his } Af and three eonsof Jee Smith, the eldest about twenty-three or twentyfour; tue second about twenty ; the third a lad Bitoman I learnedthat not one of the family velieved Mas eT uk and. that. his, wife—fermerly Mrs, Smith—had always been opposed to to them, ‘as well as the boys. I was told. that Joe Smith prophecied; some two years before this lad was bern, thata son wasto be bern.tohim at or about a certain time; that at the timestated his wife did give birth toa son. At that time, he also stated that his son’s name would be David (not Joe), aud «that is the name of the lad, for. heard him answer to it, Joe also said . that his mantle of ess and we! fall upon his son wr iineat tele Davitt he “eaid would be ds wise and powerful vid of old. The fact of the-birth ofithis,child, following aceording to Joe’s prophecy, ° thed the belief that bad already so strong a hold upon his followers, Mrs. Biteman is a masculine, intelligent looking lady, of forty-fite or fortyseven years, ‘She is a native of Néw York. She hag a splendid farm.some four miles from Nauvoo, which is managed by her two eldest fons, while David goes to school. About the two eldest there is nothing retiarkable to be seen, They ate inte nt men, of large size, but have nothing in their appearance betekening them to be prophets, or. “sons of a prephet,’’ To their’mother they are said to be very kind, and muvh attached. . David ‘is Ou uéeommonly intelligent lad, of massive eyes. . His step-father intimated that he cares as little about eeltann and Mormonism, as one that never heard the names, nétwithstanding that thousands of the followers Of his father believe him to be the great high priest, prophet and seer, Gr embryo) ete, He — that they worship his name equal to that of Jesus Christ; and yet, I am told, the lad is teo intelligent to’allow it to make any impression upoa him. Probably the fact of all the family being unbelievers in it is the eause. The following incident L learned from a gentleman residing at Nauvoo: That when Joe was killed in the jail, some fifteen milés from his home, his wife and sen took possession ef his body, and te prevent the rabble from. getting it, they raised the floor of the dining room, and, digging a grave, buried his remains there, where they still remain. The story, whether true or not, is generally believed at Nauvee. New Metuop or MANAGING ARSENICAL \AND . \ Sutrnererrep Quarrz.—The Calaveras Chronicle publishes the following communication ever the sighature of A.Cadwatlader ; Herewith, reeeive a sample of Arsenical . Quartz, aud the results of its treatment, accord. iug toa mode obtained iu New York and receutly furnished to me by Jno. A. Peck; Esq., of dan lyanciseo. The results are fromone pound of arsenuiret of iorn, slightly mixed with quartz -one dwt. of gold, and nearly one pound of . per-oxide of iron, making to the toa of rock about $1600 of gold, and a valuable pigtnent for paint. Bora week past, I have been: ¢ngaged with very defective appliances, in verifying this mode of reducing sulpburets and rasenuiret, and with the most emphatic success, as Dr. Heyburn and Mr. Jehn Hanson, te whom the results have been shewn, can testify. In no single instance havel fuiled in destreying. the mineralizer and, getting the gold, save one, where the titinate ofiron was present, Salpbur, arsenic, antimony, &c., can be eradicated, and all that large class of rocks so abandant in California, so fertile in gold. and so tenacious in withbolding it from the usual mode of crushing und amalganiating, can be treated simply and inexpensively, and a threefold larger result had. For instance, a sample I now have yields nine ounces of gold per ton of rock, that is paying ander the stamps $8.00 oaly, The “Lone Star” rock that pays from ten to twenty dollars in working by the old method will pay $40 per ton additioual with this treatment. Lockwood’s vein, where the sulphurets are concrete, will pay $150 per ton. ‘The principle of this process appears to me to be two: First, the premotion of a rapid and complete exidation of all the metals save gold; and second, the regulation of vapors, that in ordinary treatment exhale #o copiously a8 to cause a loss of 20 to 30 per cent, of gold, The cost, in addition to the usual ex‘Got Surpment By THE Sonona.—The fellowing Was the shipment of gold by the Senora; in addition to the amount shipped by the “Golden G : comet?

The persenal appearance of the villains is not that of previous descriptions, Each of the two . captured, is fully six feet in height; well built, muscular men, of rather light complexion— . chestont hair and marked features, evinsing determination, and to our eyes, desperation. From a Sart Laxe Lapy Saryt.—-The Providence Journal has seen a letter from ene of the Mormon women at Salt Lake city, written to . her daughter in that vicinity. She describes her situation there as very comfortable and writes with full confidence of the security of the . Saints under the protection of the Prophet, she scouts the idea that they can be harmed by the United States troops. She eays: “J expect you have heard the loud talk of . Uncle Sam’s great big army coming upto kill the Saints. Now, if you did bat know how the . paints did rejeice at the folly of the poor Gentile. borders of our territory, with six hundred wagons, one naked mule to draw them, all the rest have died. The men are sitting in the snow, . about a hundred and fifty miles from us, living on three crackers a day, and three-quarters of a pound of beef a week. Thus you see that the old prophet’s words are falfilied: ‘Whoever . shall fight ageinst Zien shall perish.’ The tite is véry near when one man shall chase a thousand, and ten shall pat ten thousand to flight. Zion isfree—she is hid in one of the chambers of the Lord. We are free people . p at home, not only his youngest we do not fear Uncle Sam’s soldiers, We only fear our Father in Heaven.

I do, and hear the lion of the Lord rear from the mountains, as I de, and know how near the scourge of the Lerdis upon the Gentiles, you . would flee tothe mountains with haste. The time bas come when the Lord has called all the . elders home, and cemmanded them to_bind up Coe; Rereiom sales, . the law and seal up the testimony.

It is the opinion of Laxton, from information gleaned on passing the place where the murder was committed, that Mexicans, not . lidians, were the guilty parties. It appears . that Hamilton, better known as French Joe, . had the imprudenee, while in Hermosillo, to . frequently boast of the money—some $4,000— . in their possession, which doubtless tempted the eupidity of their assassins. Hamilton was killed . on the spet; Perkins survived four or five days, although shot through and through. Laxton is on his way to San Francisco to negotiate for . } a quartz mill, to work some silver mines in the vicinity of Almaos, in the State of Sonora. Metzecar, for whose safety at one time fears . were entertained, is well, and on bis way here. He may be expected the comiug week, . A ten aere field of corn on the Howard Vine. yard, was blasted by frost, April 28th, and we Lore been informed that a great portion of . this crop has been similarly visited. . We hear that several vineyards are suffering . from a bug which has lately made its appearance on the vines, attacking and destroying the green buds. We are glad to learn, however, that the young vines, only, are likely to be affected by the newly discovered enemy ef vinous . vegetation. The bug has not yet been detected on old vines. Tuomas Jerverson anp His Fawtry.—In “Randall’s Life of Jefferson”’ it is stated that he had two children, Martha ahe Maria. The lat. ter had lived with him in Philadelphia, and was !“in person a dazzling vision of beauty,”’ much resembling her deeeased mother—resembling her, too, in the fragile organization which tov early eaused her death. She eldest daughter, married to a kinsman of Randolf, ef Roanake, was so gracesn!, so excellent, so amiable, that when John Randolf was utterly alienated from Jefferson, and Martha’s health wae offered ina company of gentlemen, he rose with his glass in. his band ; his piercing eye rolled round the circle asif challenging criticism on his course while in bis clear, shrill tones he deliberately sweetest woman in Virginia!’ . Whenever daughter, but Mrs. Randolf, with her children and highly intellectual husband, resided with him. It must have been a happy household. for Jefferson was amiable, affectionate, very fond of children, and greatly attached to home. Suoorme Avvam.—An affray took place on "Wednesday merning last, on some timber land . beyond French Camp, about fifteen miles from “Stweckton. The parties engaged were a Freach. man named Lafont, and Mr, John Blaew.

Its operation was witnessed b the editor and many others, each of whom will vouch for the accuracy of the following etatement: 1. This machine will sow and barrew in grain of any kind, more perfectly than it ean be accomplished by the usaal method. as was shown by a fair trial on land belonging to N. Coombs, . It will pulverize the surface of a field of hard adobe earth (whieh had been dried by an exposure of several weeks since plowing) to a depth of three inches, by passing once over it— a feat which, as a gentleman present observed, “a commen harrow could not accomplish in all summer,’’ r 3. It was unanimously agreed, by all who witnessed iis performances, that it will save two-thirds (and many say three-fourths) of the labor of sowing and harrowing. 4, It was also established beyond controversy, that it would sow and barrow in ten acres per day on the stiff clay seil of this valley; and that once going over with this, was equal to five harrowings of the old harrow, Prosrscrs or tae Hanvestr.-—There ig eve’ assurance of one of the greatest grain erops this . year ever yet harvested in California. A friend from Bodega gives us his own judgment, founded upon an examintion of that section of country from Bodega dewnto San Francisco— through the valleys of Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Petaluma and Napa—there the ereps of all grains will be enormous. Qur information, direet from the Pajaro valley, along the Salinas plains, from Monterey and Santa Clara counties, from Alameda, along the entire San Pablo, shows that the unbounded prosperity reste upon the grain crops. The present week, in all the Yolo country, the farmers see a great harvest before them, and as we have, passed up the Sacramento and Feather rivers, we have never seen the oats staud better—a rich dark green upon the blade ; heavy heads, already in the milk, and in some places now making its last change, All that we see, all that we hear, assure us that we shall not enly have one of the greatest grain crops, bot it will eome ia earlier than usual.—Cal, Farmer, A pair of boots: marked ‘‘J,’’? having been found iu a humpoack® whale recently, it was guessed that they must have belonged to Jonab. out as a paper weight,” and wished to kaow “how many hours a any, he would be required to keep his seat,” and if he could lay down to it.

Our correspondent advises that no one should atempt to go to the mines Without haying from euty-five to one hundred dollars as an outfit. Horses can be procured at the Dalles for from twenty-five to fifty dollars, and. there ig a. fine open country from thence to the mines, with . good grass for animals, The following information fs dcrived from reliable sources—among . ethers, from afgentleman: who has been in the country for twenty years, and has visited the gold region mentioned, There is no doubt of the existence of the precious metal in large quantities in the Shuswap mines, which embrace the tributaries of Thomp. ; son’s River, but there ds no) evidence of the existence of gold on Frazer's River. Parties ‘have returned to Portland, Oregon, within a few days past, who'¢ame down Frazer’s River, and they agreé.in describing the trip down as one. continued scene of peril and difficulty, Having consumed nearly all their provisions at the mines, and lost their animals, their only mode of getting away was trusting their lives in eanoes, and they esteem themselves peculiarly . fortunate in not being drowned, They say that the river is running with extreme rapidity, and it is out of the question to attempt to ge up by means of boats or canoes during a freshet.— { . Even during low stage of water, it is a matter of imminent risk to attempt it. The mines are located two hundred miles up the river, which is obstructed by a continued succession of falls and rapids, and large ‘boulders in the bed of the stream. The river is also confined for miles . by walled canons, the mountains on both sides rising many hundred feet almost perpendicularly. These facts will give some idea of the difficulties that beset the traveller by this route.

The gentlemau before alluded to as having resided for twenty years in the country, says that . he esteems it criminal to induce any one to attempt to go to the mines by Frazer's River, as} it most end in starvation and death. Ile possesses an ample fortune, and no interest whatever in auy of the routes, and: his statements are entitled to comsideration,, Phe gentlemen . attached to the Hudsou’s Bay Company, when appealed toy have, without an exception, stated . that, by the Columbia, the Dalles au ‘the Okemagan River isthe only praetical route. Despite these facts, the tide ef emigration sets through Puget Sound, where difficulties of serious character await them. The party of miners who arrived from Frazer’s River are fitting out in Portland for the Shuswap) mines, and intended to go by the Columbia River route—a tolerable proof of their opinion in the matter. The above statements can be relied on, as we are personally acquainted with the gentleman from whom they are obtained, and . There were but two of them, the other was out of camp.

I was told. that Joe Smith prophecied; some two years before this lad was bern, thata son wasto be bern.tohim at or about a certain time; that at the timestated his wife did give birth toa son. At that time, he also stated that his son’s name would be David (not Joe), aud «that is the name of the lad, for. heard him answer to it, Joe also said . that his mantle of ess and we! fall upon his son wr iineat tele Davitt he “eaid would be ds wise and powerful vid of old.

New Metuop or MANAGING ARSENICAL \AND . \ Sutrnererrep Quarrz.—The Calaveras Chronicle publishes the following communication ever the sighature of A.Cadwatlader ; Herewith, reeeive a sample of Arsenical .

The results are fromone pound of arsenuiret of iorn, slightly mixed with quartz -one dwt. of gold, and nearly one pound of . per-oxide of iron, making to the toa of rock about $1600 of gold, and a valuable pigtnent for paint. Bora week past, I have been: ¢ngaged with very defective appliances, in verifying this mode of reducing sulpburets and rasenuiret, and with the most emphatic success, as Dr. Heyburn and Mr. Jehn Hanson, te whom the results have been shewn, can testify. In no single instance havel fuiled in destreying. the mineralizer and, getting the gold, save one, where the titinate ofiron was present, Salpbur, arsenic, antimony, &c., can be eradicated, and all that large class of rocks so abandant in California, so fertile in gold. and so tenacious in withbolding it from the usual mode of crushing und amalganiating, can be treated simply and inexpensively, and a threefold larger result had. For instance, a sample I now have yields nine ounces of gold per ton of rock, that is paying ander the stamps $8.00 oaly, The “Lone Star” rock that pays from ten to twenty dollars in working by the old method will pay $40 per ton additioual with this treatment. Lockwood’s vein, where the sulphurets are concrete, will pay $150 per ton. ‘The principle of this process appears to me to be two: First, the premotion of a rapid and complete exidation of all the metals save gold; and second, the regulation of vapors, that in ordinary treatment exhale #o copiously a8 to cause a loss of 20 to 30 per cent, of gold, The cost, in addition to the usual ex‘Got Surpment By THE Sonona.—The fellowing Was the shipment of gold by the Senora; in addition to the amount shipped by the “Golden G : comet?
