Morning Sfor. Letters from the Gold RegioB, Feather River Calitor.ma, October lt, 1848- CorsiN Thohas: Oh! dur! I feel uif 1 were oing lo tell a lie ; for what I m going to any is so exactly like all the le ihitt used to be toU me by nurses to kp me qmel when I was little, limit I feel as if it could not be ruerand I don't know that I alull believe ii myself after I have writMi it 1 wish you were hv?e, Tom, that you mijjht open your eyes ttnd liok upon all these tluns nnd tell me whether it is just so, or whether it is a dream. I have caught myself ptking my finger into my eye a number of times, to see whether it wtiopefi or whether 1 wa9 asleep. There is gold real gold- trodden under feet. The earth is carpeted with fold shining out from the sands, streaming be tween your toes, and peeping at you from the holes or rocks and other out o'the-way places. We stopped at Sacramento about a week, and Collected lots of gold dust, with ! some pieces like fishes scales. We had ' a plenty of good company, and sometimes ! victuals were rather scarce ; but we made it up in taking a greater quantity of aug ; tiadenty. This liquor is something hotter ! i han Lhat you get at home. The first time ' I took any, I thought that it had scalded nil i he skin off my throat but 1 have got i used to it Hut it ig,. astonishing how one e-in do without eating when he sees the 1 trohl comuig up in solid junks. A fur we had been tt Sacamento a few lays, we took our land tacks aboard again, uiil pulled fool for Feather River, for we ! h ni heard that the ffold could be cot in 1 1 rarer pieces. I was satisfied where we were , but I did not like to part from my tna'es, and so I hauled my corpse along in t io Wake. The first thing that we met A'an a parcel of Mormons comi g along wiih bags of gold, and going to dig more. ( )dr chap said he ihoughl ihej would get gold euough to make a new golden Bible. After a considerable long travel, we came io a place that looked civilized. It is a kind of village or hamlet, with a fort and n factory. It is owned by Mr. Sutter, a v-ry clever fellow too, and they say that he was the first one that diccovered the -old mines. One thing I noticed as we went alone; ; all the farms were deserted, and many of the houses ; we went into ''iwo farm houses to jret out of the sun. but we could find nothing to eat, except that in one place we saw, hid away in a notch, a j horn t imbler, full of some kind of meal, mixed with water. The others who were with mc called it farreeny. That was all that we saw in the houses to eat, but ihere were pumkins in the fields, and over a whitewashed wall we saw fruit of several kinds, but Jul not attempt to tret anv of it. At lhat place we met seven soldiers that had run away from some place where ihe Americans have a fori They said they were going for gold, and asked if they might go wiih us. These men were very civil, and talked like gentlemen. One said his name was Houghton, and that he had enlisted because he loved a girl whose parents kept a grocery, and were rich He had determined lo get nil the gold he could, and iro home to America, when the parents would no longer object to his having their daughter. It must be a sad thing to be in love. He kept muttering to himself, as if he was out of his seven senses, and when we sat down to rest, he would un rk out her name on the sand With his great toe. Her name is Maria, but h- would not tell her other name. Once I thought we should have been buried up in the sand. There wa a rong wind from the northwest -when we cume to a couple of sg sand heaps, and before, we couiii get out of the range of them, our mouths and eyes and ears were filled with sand. After a while, we got to this place, and here was Miao, one of the first persons we saw, who sneered at us as we passod along, seeing that we had come to Feither River afler all. We had a tent now, which we pitched very quick, and then began the search for gold Somebodj' told us about some silvir mines that had been discovered fur off, but we said lhat we would content ourselves with gold, as we were not proud. Here we jrot trold dust by the cart load, and amongst he rocks where 1 went, I dug it out with my jack kmfe, in all shapes and sues One piece that I got, when I firet rfflnmenrfid u-n ns InrirA ns a hon'a err. r- m ct though not in that shape. What would vou lliitik of seeing piles of gold, lying all arntiiM you, and to be able to gamer itiixe lile stones, and nobody to ask what ! right vou had to take it? How those a pie women round the Park woujd walk j into it, and fill their aprons, if they were, hen-' How thoso Broadway dandies would throw off their coats, unbuckle their si iff cravats, and fall to working like beea. ! When I come up out of the river, my legs and feet are all shining as if I had a pair of gold boots, and when I roll down my trousers' legs, the gold drops out asifi; coot nothing, and no more il does. On the first day, beginning early in the morning, I and two more- collected about 1300 worth of gold, but there went- twt large piece amongst it, taken out from the rocks. The people 'are" a warming all over this pan of the ceuncry, and there are more coming all the time, so that I expect, before long, I shall see half the people from i. York here. But tfce Kiins will begin before long, and then we must knoek off tor a while, and take a fresh start when the wmter is over. ' If you should comeout here, Torn jbu'd better go round the Horni as you will get here almost as qrjick, and- miss the robbers and Indians, and all sorts of nasty diseases t hat vou meet with in a lane passage. Good bye, Your affectionate cousin-, JAM1 T The Gold Region Look at Botl fide. Corrsspondenca of tha Tribuna, Otisville, Orange Co.,N. Y.( Dec. 15. Deab Sir "The "yellow fever" is prr vailing here to an alarming degree, and it in fact deranging the general business ef the country. Nothing else is talked of bt California Gold, and all are eager to wend their way to the far off El Dorado. The encouragement which the Press has given to the wild and visionary project of gener al emigration to the "Gold diggins," is in my opinion quite reprehensiole, and the evil may prove more serious both to the emi grants themselves and to their friends who may be left behind, than will beat the first glance conceived. Young men are making sacrifices to raise what means they may re gard sufficient to take thera to the promised land, but which in fact are by no means ad equate, and few are conscious cf the trials which they are to encounter. Let us suppose a thousand or more col lected in a foreign country, at Chagres or Panama, ir. a climate to which they are un accustomed, waiting a passage to San Fran cisco, with slender means, and no accom modations, sickness and privation are sure to follow. Fancy the mieery and distress which must be experienced in crowded ships on the long voyage around the Cape. Conceive the disappointment and despair which must be the fate of hundreds and thousands who have invested their little all in these numerous projected associations where the knowing ones are sure to take the lion's share to say nothing of the fate awaiting the deluded and too credulous ad ventures on their arrival even upon the banks'of the Sacramento. The picture is truly painful to contemplate, and I regard it as the duty of the Press, the real guar dians of the public interest to use some ex ertion to undo the mischief which they have unwittingly perhaps already done. Represent in glowing colors the difficul ties in the path of all adventurers to Cali fornia These fairly understood, bfi most judicious ana renecung oi tnose wno are preparing lo embark, may before it shall be too late to retreat, resume their wonted occupations and great distress and misery be ihus avoided. From tht N. O. Delta, Dec, 21. MEXICO. Later From Vera trmi aad the Capitol. liy the arrival here, yesterday, of the Spanish polacre Gertrude, Captain Cordo va, from vera Cruz the 0th instant, we have received files of the Moniter Republicano to the '2d inst. inclusive. Tampico. El Moniter, b several ef its numbers, calls the attention of the Govern ment to the state of public feeling in Tam pico. It reiterates the assertion that the inhabitants are contemplating the annexa tion of tb? State of Tamaulipas to the Uni leu States. The Noiicioso denounces the Governor, Cardenas, for fraternising with the National Guard there, in whose ranks have lately been enrolled many Americans, who were formerly in the army of occupa tion, Thines are rapid! r advancin to a crisis there, destructive of the integrity of; the Republic. At a banquet, a toast had been given for the speedy annexation of Tamaulipua to the American Union. Ikdians At Uuranjo and the other fron tier Slates, the Camanche Indians had late ly committed the .most horrid atrocities, whilst the Government remains in a state of complete apathy. El Monilur of the 1st slates that Cuevas, the new minister of Foreign relations, had not yet taken possession of his office in consequence of illness, is affairs are rep resented to be in the greatest confusion. National, GrAau.--The National Guard at the metroK)hs was in a sad stale of dis organization Another batalhon was to be raised from among the trading and com tnoroial classes. The paper El Centinela, recently started, has ceased lo exist. "This" says the Mon itor, "is a proof, among others, that revolu tion is on the point of extinction in Mexico." Senior Becerra has been mentioned for the bishopric of Puebla. Senior Cortina has presented plans to the ministry for the construction of a railroad 10 Tacubaya. The government intends to assist him toward the completion of that na tional work. There is a project on foot to light the city of Mexico with gas. A canal is tale ellavAied fur t.e pur; pose of rendering thePhriama navig&lle.as far as Villa de Valles.-, This is to be done; with the view of making San Luis the tnv ' pornim of the commerce of the Pacific; The- 1 1 government also Irttead td drain, the; fegv nes in the valley of Mexico.

How to Stat htm At a late bal w Paris, a very stout gentlemun, proprietor Of a bad catarrh and a very charming wrie j insisted very inconveniently (at tbe close of a polka in which the latter1 breastpin was ' quite too intimately made acquainted with the waistcoat buttons of a very nice young man) that Madame should take leave, and return lo tbe less objectionable bosom of -her family. Never mind,' she said to ber partner, 'invite me to dance the nextquadrill, all the same ! I will find a way to stay for it P Slipping out while the sets were fowling she went into the gentlemen's dressings room, found her husband's hat, and threw it out of the window. Then returning and requesting her spouse to first find his hat and callthe carriage, she accepted partners for tbe next six dances, quite sure of two hours' before the hat could be re covered.' A Bkoad- Hist. Sir Andrew Agnew, h ; 8cotcu baronet, was famous heretofore for giving broad hints. The nature of them will be best ascertained by the following anecdote t - : Sir Andrew having been pestered by an impudent and impertinent intruder, it was remarked to him one day by a friendthat this man no longer appeared yitris compa ny, and asked how he crtfritred to get rid "In troth," said the baronet, "I wee oblig-' ed to give the cheild ft broad hint-ft . "A broad hint"' exclaimed the friend. I thought he wasone oftnose who could not take a hint" 1 "By my faith, be was forced to take ft," answered Sir Andrew, "for as tbe 'fellow would not go out of the door, I threw him out of the window."
