URDAY EVENING, SEPT. 21, 1861. Tue Union, of yesterday, publishes cor‘respondence between Gov. Downey and Gen. Sumner, by which it appears that the Governor came forward promptly, and offered to pay the expenses of fitting out volunoteers, aud their transportation to the regimental camps—the cost to be refunded to the State by the Government, This patriotic offer was declined, for the reason that there was no necessity of the State making any provision for the volunteers, the means furnished by the Government being amply sufficient for that purpose. Recrvuitino.—We learn from the National that the work of recruiting an infantry company at Grass Valley is progressiag finely, Quite a number of names have already been enrolled, and others are preparing to enlist. As as soon as the minimum number of eighty-one names have been obtained, the company will proceed to the election of their officers. Strate Fam,—According to the Sacramento papers, the attendance at the State Fair, this seaeoa, is greater than on any former occasion, The receipts at the Fair grounds bave averaged nearly $3,000 daily. The subject of continuing the Fair over uotil next week has been under discussion by the officers of the Society. Tue dispatches by the iast Pony make no mention of the rumored death of Jeff. Davis, from which we conclude there was no trath in the report. It probably originated from the fact that he had latterly been quite sick, The letters of St. Louis correspondents, ifany are received by this Pony, will set the matter at rest. BLAstinG AccipENT.—Two brothers named Myers were severely injured on Monday last, at Grizzly Flat, Et Dorado county, by the premature explosion ef a blast.

MINING VERSUS FARMING.—The gold crop of Australia has declined from $62,500,000 in 1854, to $40,000,000 in 1861,though the miners have increased from 36,000 in the firft named year to 108,000 in the last. Their average earnings have declined in the six years from $1,650 to $270, showing that the gold fields are being rapidly exhausted. California is much richer in gold than Australia; but there is a decline in both countries, and prep it is well for the permanent good of each country. The search for gold fevers the mind almost equally with gambling, and its rapid production inflates all manner of vain hopes, and wild, baseless speculations. ‘The sober and slow pursuits of ordinary industry are more healthful for the individual as for the community, and are solidly enriching. The Melborne Argus confesses this, in stating, that the Colonies are now far more prosperous than in the height of the gold production. ‘The former miners, in vast numbers, have turned to sheep raising, and to various agricultural and industrial employment.
