For instance, the bed rock comes to the surface, on each slope of this hill, where I am now, but in the centre of the hill it would require a shaft three hundred feet deep to reach it. These channels are sometimes shallower, though they are invariably filled with gravel, which has caused gome to suppose that in ages long "gone by, rivers have run over what are now mountain lops, while others suppose that the ocean formerly covered this country, and in its receding made these immense deposits. Others think that the present formation ot the land is owing to volcanic eruptions, and in fact both theories have very plausible foundations, for as regards the first, there is no doubt but the gravel has been subjected lo a tremendous wash of water, tor 1 have seen stones from the size of a marble to that of several tons in weight, which were washed round and smooth as glass, and pieces of the same gravel burnt inloas fair a cinder as ever came from a furnace, and sometimes pieces of charred wood have been found at the depth of a hundied feet, and deeper. The manner of working these hills is by driving through the rock as far as possible, to strike the bottom ot the channel, then take out the gravel and wash, thereby getting the gold ore out of Wages fn the mines range from §2,50 lo $5,00 a day, and are gelling less every season, as the population increases, and the big strikes become less frequent.

BY ABEL MARCY OO" The following very interesting letter from California, was furnished to us by our townsman, Mr, Andrew Brvden — Although ot considerable length, il is full of interest from beginning to end, and will well repay perusal :— It is almost an universal characteristic of weak minded ami malicious persons lo delight in circulating slanders and lies against their neighbors wherever ami » henever they have nn opportunity ; I lie one because he does not consider, and the other become he desires to procute the injury which must inevitably result to the reputation ol him who is mude (ho violim ol their thoughllessness and malice. There is no person o( ordinary understanding, who does not know that there can be nothing dearer to any human being than an unsullied character. And that man or that womanwho, on the discovpry of a few failings or short comings in n neighbor, will sloop fco low as lo ransack a whole neighborhood publishing them as they go and magnifying mem into enormities, and adding thereto on endless retinue of lies, having no other object whatever in view than the ruination ol tha1. neighbor's reputation ; that man or that woman I say is mote suited lo tfie companionship of devils than the society of men, for they are lost, totally lost to all those higher and nobler principles which can adorn and dignify the human character and fit tliem to mingle in the society of intellectual and moral beings. Should this brief dissertation chance lo fall under (he notice of any of that numerous God-torsaken tribe dispersed abroad over the face of this "fair green earth," I would commend to their deliberate attention the first two clauses of the following scripture text, " Now therefore consider of it, take advice and speak your minds," Afier reading this text should any one of those scurrilous characters whom I would more particularly address find themselves at a loss to kno.iv bow to appropriate it,or what application to makeol it in reference to the subject in hand ; I will undertake the *l« most hopeless task of infusing a little light into their brainless sculls. Now, Mr. Slanderer, if I may address myself to you ; J will remark that whenever you begin to rear your serpent head and protrude your forked tongue for the purpose of defaming that neighbor on whom you wish lo pour •n avalanche of malice ; you should fuDl consider whether the report you are aboiij to putin circulation be really true ; secondly whether, if true, it ought to be circulated at all ; and thirdly, what proportion of the benefit you will be likely to re ceive from becoming the medium of its circulation, bears to the injury you are about to inflict upon your unfortunate vietim, and if you come to the conclusion tint no good can possibly grow out of it; then yoa should by all means take advice before setting it afloat. Then after mature deliberation and prudent advice, yuu are fct liberty to speak your minds and not hefore. But is this the manner in which you hava acted heretofore ? Not by any means. You have had a neighbor perhaps, who haa been a little more successful in lDasinesa than yourself and have envied him ; or another ivhose amiable qualities hale secured for bim the respect ol' all except such characters as yourself, and you hale grown jealous ol him ; and hence, inst»4d of rendering honor to nonor is duf, you have goo*1" °y assailing his reputatiifi 10 undermine the vary foundation of his "The great bulk of the wheat crop'is now gathered, and we can begin to estimate its actual condition with more cer. taiutv. That the average yield has been above that of ordinary years is now a settled point, which none but the most invet. erate croaker or the interested speculator will call in question lor a moment. Bince the first inst., the weather taken as a whole has been quite as favorable for gathering grain as in ordinary years. We speak ol the country at large, lor in some localities there have been severe storms of wind and *rain. VVe find nft reason to change the opinion expressed last week, that the sum total of loss from wet weather does not ex. ceed one-lentil—probably not one-twentieth—of the entire crop. We are inclined to place the estimate still lower than this. It should be remembered that in such an estimate we are only to include the actual loss. A field of wheat may have "grown" so much as to depreciate its marketable value ten per cent, or more, and yet not a bushel be actually lost. A bushel of grown wheat will not bring as high a prico but will still go as far towards furnishing (ood as if gathered in perfect condition. The only real loss of food to the country has been when wheat has actually rolled, or bean beaten down so much as to prevent its being gathered. Instances of this kind are very rare. a HOTEL, MERCERAU, MISS M. J.

As re(fards the morals of the people, the Sabbath is very little regarded, except as being the general business day on which the miner goes three or fourwiiiles to buv his week's food, or se'tles the weekly account with his company, and receives or distributes the dividends of profits. The Sabbath is the day on which the laborer seeks work and finds it—it is the day on which contracts of all kinds are made, and business of all kinds transacted. The brazeu laced prostitute decks herself in her finery and the liquor sellers deck off* their saloons and marshal their bottles of various colored drinks, to entice the thoughtless miner to spend what he toiled all the week to earn.

Pittston, May 18, 1855-  in the first p'ace we will notice the ajv. iparance of the country, its mountains, alleys and streams. You have underitood ere now, that the gold mines here ire situated in a mountainous region, but rou have no idea of the grandeur of these nountains, and I nm afraid that 1 am not iblo to give you a very graphic descripion ot them. Beginning from the Valley if the Sacramento, they at first are but low ind gentle foot hills, that gradually injrease in height, till on the summit of the Sierra Nevada, you stand at the height of rom 0000 to 15000 feel, but toatiajn thitD leight, you must travel from a hundred to i hundred and twenty miles, and in-travel. Ing this distance you pass through every variety of climate, from that which harbors no snow or frost,not even in winter, to that where i; makes its home oven under the fierce summer sun ; and 1 suppose there is to be found there some of the first snow that fell after the deluge. Those mounlains sro thickly wooded wiifi immense pines, and scattering oaks. The are traversed by small streams that rush madly on from the upper mountains to the Sacra mento and other rivers. These mountain streams tre from ten to a hundred feet in width. In winter they are swollen to a great height, and discharge a vast body of water; for although they are very nar. row, yet owing to the rapid descent of their channel, the currents are so rapid thai they discharge more water thao rivers ia the Atlantic States, of three times their size. But in summer some of them be crossed by leaping from rock to uck in the stieam, but it is rather a hazardous way of crossing, as the least mistep would plunge one into a Rapid, where his brains would be dashed out in a very short time. Prom the rtreams the mountains rise very abruptly, rising up from the very water's edge, lo the height of three and five thou, aand feet, and so steep that it i* almost impossible to climb them, excepting by traila or pat is that run zig zag up the mountain side, and even then it ia a job to be dreaded, for in summer life sun broils • person, and in winter the ground is so surcharged with the continual rains, that at «very step the soil gives «yay beneath the teet. In some plaoe* the mountain aides are bare sod rocky, in others covered wiib brush, wood aud a heavy growh of tali jDin#«.— You may judge from this what sort ol society we have, where armed and partially intoxicated men meet in the house of ill lame, instead of in the houso of God, and in their right minds. But although society is so much lower in a moral sense than in the older States, yet it is far better than it was even two years ago, and it is improving rapidly. There is preaching in nearly all ihe little villages, and though the congregations are often very limited, there is an improvement visible The Temperance cause is also very flourishing in this State. Th® order ol the Sons ot Temperance is in creasing more rapidly than in any oilier part of (he world, and there is less prospect of a reaction among them here than in most other places, for the men who here connect themselves with such societies are in the main men who have seen the evil of intemperance in lull blast, and not only seen but lelt it, once within the pale of this society and other kindred ones. Inere is a sweetness that breathes of home in tlifi communion there to be had; also the changing liie of a California miner is one that calls for frienda everywhere; and brethren of the myotic tie are often found to be truer thap those of Nature, Good stabling attached.
