CHBONICLE A SENTINEL

Sleep.
We term sleep a death, and yet it is waking
that kills us, and destroys those spirits that are
the house of life. ’Tis indeed apart of life
that best expresseth death; lor every man
truly lives so long as he acts bis nature, or
some way makes good the faculties of himself.
Themistocles, therefore, that slew his soldier
in his sleep, was a merciful executioner. ’Tis
a kind of punishment the mildness of no
laws hath invented ; I wonder the fancy of
Lucian and Seneca did not discover it. It is
that death by which we may be literally said to
die daily; a death which Adam died before
his mortality; a death whereby we live a mid
dle and moderating point between life and
death ; in fine, so like death I dare not trust it
without my prayers, and an half adieu unto the
world, and take my farewell in a colloquy with
God.
The night is come, like to the day
Depart not thou great God away !
Let not my sins, black as the night,
Eclipse the lustre of thy light;
Keep still in my horizon, for to me
The sun makes not the day, but thee.
Thou whese nature cannot sleep.
On my temples sentry keep;
Guard me ’gainst those watchful foes,
Whose eyes are open while mine close ;
Let no dreams my head infest,
But such as Jacob’s temples blest.
While 1 do rest, my soul advance,
Make my sleep a holy trance,
That 1 may, my rest being wrought,
Awake into some holy thought,
And with an active vigor run
My course, as doth the nimble sun.
Sleep is a death, O make me try,
By sleeping, what it is to die ;
And as gently lay my head
On my grave, as now my bed.
Howe’er I rest, great God, let me
Awake again at last with thee •
And thus assured, behold I lie
Securely, or to wake or die.
These are my drowsy days, in vain
1 do not wake to sleep again ;
O come that hour when I shall never
Sleep again, but wake forever !
This is the dormitive I take to bedward, I need
no other laudanum than this to make me sleep : after
which I close mine ayes in security, content to take
my leave of the sun, and sleep into the resurrection.
—Sir Thomas Browne, M. D.
From the Baltimore American.
The Gold Region —The forthcoming re
port from T. Butler King concerning the gold
region in California is awaited with much in
terest by the public. The letter which we pub
lish below, purporting to give a bird’s-eye
view of its contents, will naturally increase
the desire of further information upon the in
teresting subject to which it relates. A docu
ment so full and so much in detail as this is
understood to be, coming from au intelligent
observer who has had abundant means of ac
curate knowledge, may well be expected to
contain a great deal of important information
respecting the gold deposited in California,
their nature, value and extent
Caltfomia--Mr. Klug’s Report.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce writes that Mr.
Thomas Butler King’s Report on California
was read to the President and Cabinet on
Monday, and occupied two hours and a half
in reading. It will of course be soon present
ed to Congress. The topics of which it treats
are:—
The population of the country;
Its agricultural resources;
Extent and production of the mineral re
gion ;
The Commerce and Navigation of Califor
nia ;
The legislation necessary for the territory;
And, especially, in regard to the disposition
of the gold bearing lands, belonging to the U.
Slates.
The population of the country is now about
one hundred and twenty thousand. An acces
sion to the population by immigration, during
the year beginning at the next dry season—
on the Ist day of May, is estimated at two hun
dred thousand.
The agricultural capacities of the State are
vastly greater than has been heretofore repre
sented. There is a vast extent of pasture
lands, unsurpassed any where in the world,
in verdure and richness. The wild oats grow
spontaneously all over the plains, yielding an
annual crop at the rate of forty bushels per
acre. Any number of cattle and sheep may
be raised. Two hundred thousand head of
cattle must be brought into the country during
the next two years.
The cattle were formerly killed for their
hides, which was the chief article of export;
and they were worth but four dollars a head;
but now they are worth twenty or thirty dol
lars a head.
California is especially adapted to wool
growing ; a gentleman was about to import
ten thousand sheep from Mexico, with a view
to go into that business. The future value of
the vineyards is represented as very great.
As to the commerce of the country, he esti
mates the value of imports needed in Califor
nia from the Atlantic Slates for the next year,
at four millions of dollars in flour, six millions
in lumber, and two millions in other articles-
As to the article of lumber, its price is now
$75 per thousand, and cannot be lower, be
cause it is below the cost of labor necessary
for cutting and sawing lumber in California. —
It can be carried to California for $24 a thous
and ; and supposing it to cost S2O here, it will
continue to pay.
The gold region is described as extending
five or six hundred miles from the South to the
North, and from forty to sixty miles in width,
from the East to the West. It rises gradually
in an inclined plain from the Sacramento Val
ley, to the elevation of 4,000 feet, at what are
called the Foot Hills. Between these hills
and the Sierra Nevada, a number of streams
have their source, and take their course
through the Foot Hills, westward.
Mr. King examined twelve of these rivers,
and found them all very rich in gold. The
territory on the North is very rich in gold;
and the conclusion is inevitable, from all the
facts, that the whole quartz plain, containing
three thousand square miles, is full of gold
bedded in the quartz, and some ol which, disin
tegrated from the quartz by the torrents,
may be found in dust and lumps in the beds of
the streams.
The whole number of foreigners in there
gion, who are gold hunters, is fifteen thousand,
There have been but seven thousand American
gold hunters. The Chilians and the Sonora
people came in crowds, and have carried off
twenty-five millions. The Americans have
procured fifteen millions. The Chilians are
expert diggers.
The amount of gold already procured, is
forty millions. But forty millions more will
be procured during the coming dry season—
say from May till November.
VOL XIV—NO. 79.
' The regular mining operations in the solid
quartz rock will soon begin, and «an be con-
i tinued during the wet as well as the dry sea- -x
I son.
Mr. King estimates the amount of gold ~
which will be procured, from the Ist of May,
1850, till the Ist November, 1852, at one hun
dred millions!
He recommends that the lands be retained
as public property forever—and as a perpetu- M
al resource for the public exchequer.
To the workers and diggers of gold, he pro
poses to grant permits, at the rate of an ounce
of gold for each pound.
For the encouragement of regular mining
operations, he proposes to grant leases of a
limited number of acres, to persons or compa
nies, at a small per centage on the amount of
gold procured.
It will be seen, on reference to the proceed
ings ofCongresg in another column, that the
report of Mr. King was transmitted to both
Houses of Congress on Thursday, and ordered
to be printed.
