With the wedding notice in another

j;rv dream we sat down to dinner. Well,
the puddinu niomeut ui rived, and a huir'
lice alnmt ob.rured from siylit the plate
be Hire us.
"Mv dear," said we fondly, "did you
mike this.'"
"Yes, lov ain't it nice?"
"(Ilorious the best bread puddinir I
ever tasted in my life."
"Vlum pudding, ducky," suggested
my wife.
"O no, dearest, Lmul pudding, I al
ways was fond of "em."
'Call that bread pudding," exclaimed
xnv wife, while her pretty lips curled
slightly with contempt.
Certainly my dear reckon I've had
to eat enough at the Sherwood house
to know. Uread pudding my love by all
means."
"Husband, this is really too bad.
lMum pudding is twice as hard to mike
as bread pudding, and is more expensive
and a yreat deal better. I say this is
plum pudding, sir," and my pretty wife's
brow flushed with excitement.
"My love, my sweet, my dear love,"
exclaimed we, soothingly, "do not get
angry; I'm sure it's very good, if it is
bread pudding."
"Hut, sir, 1 say it ain't bread pudding."
"And, madam, 1 say it is bread pud
ding." " You mean, low wretch," fondly re
plied mv wife iu a high tone, "you know
it is plum pudding."
"Then, m Vain, it is meanly put to
gether, and si badly binned, that the
devil himself wouldn't know it. I tell
you, madam, most distinctly and emphat
ically, and 1 will not be contradicted,
that it ie bread pudding, and the meanest
kind at that."
44 It is plum pudding," shrieked my
wife as she hurled a glass of claret in
my face, the glass itself 'tapping the chi
li.'!' from my nose.
"llread pudding," gasped we, pluck
to the last, and grasping a roast chicken
by the left leg.
"l'luni pudding" rose above the din,
ns I had a distinctive perception of feel
ing two plates smashed across my head.
" Bread pudding," we groaned iu rage
as the chicken left our hand and Hying
with swift wing across the table, lauded
in madam's bosom.
"Plum pudding," resounded the war
crv from the enemy, as the gravy dish
took us where we were depositing the
first part of our dinner and a pl.itc of
beets landed upon a white vest.
"Bread pudding, forever!" shouted
we in defiance, dodging the soup tureen,
and falling beneath its contents.
"Plum pudding," yelled our amiable

To those who arc fully acquainted with
the horrid ron:u-ou and total ii -gleet ot
the Post Oilice in San Frautiseo, to all let
ters from the States, w e expect nothing but
failures of letters on all hand.;. Your letters
of June I got eight or ten days since, and
along with th-m iue frum Ami, dated A
pril. This letter 1 wili send hy a gentle
man to New York, to mail it there, and,
perhaps, it may reach its proper destination.
As the gentleman is some three or four miles
from me, and w ill leave early in tin? morn
ing, this letter must he necessarily short, as
he sent us one hour Irom this tune.
1 a ,,r;,u tw Tw- lH,t lll or
four weeks since, and count Mouses of one
or two hundred. 1 have put up a very
comfortable log cabin where Jlas and my
self p;.ss or time very warm .ind dry.
This town is iu half a mile of the place on
Deer Creek where i have been mining all
the summer. Three miles oil" is another

or two older than XcvTow m Sprinkled

addition to this, all around for teu or twelve
miles, a vast number of persons have set
tled for winter. As ail the streams have
failed, almost altogether, in gold digging,
all the miners have betaken themselves to
the Hills and Ravines, waiting for the fall
of rain to operate on the hills and ravines.
1 am by every mouth's observation more
and moro convinced that very small sums
have been made by each mau a few, veni
few indeed have done well not, I should
say, above one inau in three or four thou
sand. And when I say that he has done
w ell, I mean to say that he has made some
three or four thousands of dollars. I rejat
what I have said in my former letters, that
1 w ould not give .l()T().K) for w hat any man
has made iu fifty miles of this place, this
season. Cold can be had almost w herever
you place dow n your foot, but not iu such
sinus as to make a man, in twelve mouths,
rich. If any man can realize two or three
thousand dollars a vear, after hard work,
he is lucky. I mast acknowledge that it is
reported that some men have made large
sums: I di not say it is false, but I do say
th it I have never seen him, or have seen the
man that has seen him. For thousands and
thousands I can truly confess that they have
little done but to support themselves and
sorry to say, that many an I many thousands
h ive not done as well. The man who pla
ces confidence iu Xews Paper reports, and
many letters sent to the States, will as sure
ly he led into great error as he lives. Truth
and veracity are sunk to a low degree in
California. Nine men in teu, of truthful
characters before they Jelt home, become
great liars in a few mouths after breathing
the air of California. You cannot get the
truth out of them. 1 am confident that many
would steal were they not afraid of our sharp
and quick punishment, extemporaneous
trial and extemporaneous punishment. I
am afraid that as soon as the regular Court
House Law is extended over us that Law yers
he brought in and "the law's delays"
can he ha I, that crime of all sorts will be
multiplied. When I look around and s
almost uoue hat men, I feel convinced that
unless we hae more of the Salt of the
I'arth we1 are gone, and relapse as sure
as day into savage life and habits. Fp.
however, to this day in the Xorthcm Mines,
all is quiet and free from every species of
violence: no man is made afraid. All of
us from North Carolina, have done ns well
as most other people perhaps; I suppose
that two or three thousand each w ill be
ahout the size of our little jtilc. All of us
expect to do much better this winter aud
next spring, as water sufficient to work the
ravines and hills . has recently been found
out in many Hat places some half a mile
wide between hills not mountains, they are
as rich if not more so, than ravines and
streams. i hese places arc totally destitute
of water in summer, hat have a plenty after
the wet season takes place. The fall of '
rain began last Tuesday to the delight oft
thousands. Every cradle and Long Tom
has been ready for ten days to start iu ope-
ration. But after six or seven months of,
dry season, it will require tea or twelve days
more of rain to put us iu full operation.
