aoTTrsßßisr CALIPaRSU. We publish to day, from the Union, some “ of ficial documents" relating to California, which go to show that the accounts heretofore received from that region respectingftie gold and the go Id seeking epidemic have nut been exaggerated. Where, or how, or when, all this will end, we cannot conjecture. We concur fully with Com modore Joses in the opinion he expresses, that to send troops out there would be useless, for they would desert To expert soldiers and sea men to continue true to their engagements for eight, ten, and twelve dollars per month, when they can earn from one hundred to five hundred, is expecting rather too much, or, if not too much, more, certainly, than will be realized. OFFICIAL OnCCJfBHT*. Interesting.-• California Gold. Extract of a letter from Thomts O. Larkin, Esq., la'e consul, and now navj agent of the l u ted Slates, to the Secretary of State, dated at M n terey, Noeembir Hi. 1-4-1, and received in this city on Friday evening last. “The digging and washing for gold continues to increase on the Sacramento plarar, so fur as re g irds the number of persons engaged in tile bu siness, and the size and quantity of the metal daily obtained. I have had in my hands sever al pieces of gold, about twenty-three cants fine, weighing from one to two pounds, and have it from good an hority'liar pieces have been found weighing sixteen pounds. Indeed. I have heard of one specimen that weighed twenty five pounds. There are many men at the placer, who in tune last had not one hundred dollars, now in possession of from hve to tvven'v tliou sand dollars, which they made by dinging gold and trading with the Indians. Several, I believe, have made more. A common calico shirt, or even a silver dollar, It is been taken by an Indi an for gold, W'thnut regard to sizo ; and a half to one ounce ofg .Id —say $8 to sl6 is now con sidered the price of asliirt, while from three to ten ounces is the price of a blanket One hun dred dollars a day f>r several days in succession was and is considered a common remuneration fir the labor of a gold-digger, thongh few work over a month at a time, as the fatigue is very great. From July to October one-half of ilie gold -hunters have been alßicted either with the ague and fever or the interim tent fever, and twenty days' absence from the placer during those months is necessary to.escape those disea ses. There have not, however, been man> fatal cases The gold is now sold; from the sinallost imaginary piece in size to pieces of one pound in weight, at sl6 per troy ounce for all the pur poses nl commerce ; 'uni ihuso who are under the noees-ity of raising coin to pay duties to the GoVernment are obliged to accept from $lO to sll per ounce. All the com in California is likely to be locked up in the custom-house, as the last tariff of our Congress is in force here in regard to tlie receipt of money. “ Could you know the value of the California | placer as I know it, you would think you had been instrumental in obtaining a most splendid purchase for our cmintry, to put no other con gtruelioljs on the late treaty “ Tlie placer is known to be two or • nrce hun dred miles long; and as discoveries are constant ly being made, it may prove one thousand in length—in fact, it is, not counting the interme diate miles yet unexplored. From five to ten millions of gold must he our export this and next year. How many more years this stale of things will continue I cannot say. You may wonder avliy I oontinuo my correspondence. I answer, From habit, and your many remarks of the in terest you take in my letters.!' NAVY DEPARTMENT. Extract from letter No. 34, o tober'io, \tl43,from Comma lore Jones to the honorable Secretary of j the Navy. “ Nothing, sir, can e eeed 'lie deplorable state of tilings in all Upper California at this time, growing out of the maddening effects of tlie gold mania. lam sorry to say that even in this squa dron some of the officers are a little tainted, and have manifested restlessness under moderate re strictions imperiously demanded by the exigen cies of the times, ns you will perceive by the unclosed paper, addressed to three of the lieu tonats I a:n, however, happy to say that I have not been disappointed ' n ihe good effects nl the means employed to prevent desertion, and to maintain order in the squadron, as lint one de sertion has taken place sin e the rush of eight from this ship on the evening of the Hth in stant; and that the views and opinions of the few officers who were skeptical as to the right of efficacy of the means employed to prevent offences and to punish crime, have undergone a most favorable change, whereby I shall be ena bled to keep on this coast until the whirlwind of anarchy and confusion confounded is superseded by the establishment of some legal government potent enough to enforc law and to protect life and property, which at this imo is in great jeop ardy every where outside our bulwarks."

[ No. 36 ] Flag Ship Ohio, Bay of M„.ntf.rev, N"ovember 2, 1848. Sir : In my letter No. 24, from La Pvz, I "■ commended the retention on this coast <>f all cruising ships of the Pacific squadron, and pnin todout’how they could bn kept in repair and mnnnrel without returning round Capo Horn to the Atlantic States When that recommenda tion was made, I bad tin coneeplion of tile state of things in Upper California. For the present, and I fear for years lo cine, it will be impossi ble for the United State* to in ii main any r.ava or military establishment in California, as at pre sent, no hope of reward nor fear of punishment is sufficient to make binding any contract be tween man and m in upon the soil of California To send troops nut here would lie neediess, for they would iinniedi.ttely desert To show what whance there is fur apprehending deserters, I in close ’in advertisement vvlvieli Inis been widely circulated fora fortnight, hot with,in* bringing in a single deserter. Among lie deserters from the squadron are some of tlie nest petty offieers and seamen, ! living but few months to serve, and large balances duo them, amounting in the ag gregate to over ten thousand dollars. ®jS« «»«•«»# There is a great deficiency of coin in the country, and especially in the mines ; the traders, by taking advantage nf the pressing necessity of the digger, not unfrequcntly compelling him to sell liia ounce of good gold tor a silver dollar : and it has been bought, under like circumstan ces, for fifty cents per ounce, of Indians T > this state of dependence laboring miners are now subjected, and must be until coin is more abund ant Disease (congestive and intermittent fe ver) is making great havoc among the diggers, as they ere almost destitute of food aad raiment, and, for the most part, without houses of any kind to protect them from the inclement season now at hand. Tlie commerce of this coast may be said to be entirely cut olf by desertion No sooner does a merchant ship arrive in any of tho ports of Cal ifornia, than all hands leave her; in some in stances captain, cook and all At this moment, there are a number of merchant ships thus aban doned at Sail Francisco, arid such will be the fate of all that subsequently arrive. Tlie master of the ship “ Izaak Walton," that brought stores for the squadron to this port, offered, without success, fifty dollars per inontli to Callao, and thence twenty dollars per men'll home, to dis banded volunteers, not seamen. We were obliged at .ast to supply him with four men whose terms of service were drawing to a close * This state of tilings is not confined to California alone. Oregon is fust depopulating; her inhabitants pour into the gold diggings, and foreign residents and runaway sai ors from the .-a dwell Island are arriving by every vessel that approaches this coast.

General: I arrived hereon the Hth instant, from San Diego, and ha»n paid the four compa nies of the first New York regiment in full, and they have all started for the gold mines The three companies composing the command of Lieutenant Colonel Burton are now here, and will he mustered out to-day or to-morrow, and paid by Major Hill immediately, as the residents are extremely anxious to gei rid of them ; they have the place in their power.

The finds from Mazatlan have at last rear lied here: theamount is $130,003 It arrived very opportunely, as we have expend and nearly all ive bail. The amount is a great deal more than will be required, as there arc at present but two com panics in California—one of Ist dragoons, the other of 3d artillery ; the latter reduced to a mere skeleton by dersurtion, and the firmer in a fair way to share the same fate. I should sup. pose )J520,000 would he stiffi ient to pav the pre sent force (provided the companies are filled up) for a year. Treasury notes are good for nothing now ; hills on the United States could not lie negoiated "ti any terms. Gold dust call he purchased for s■> or $lO to the ounce, nod it is slid to be wo tli $H in the United Slates; consequently, all remittances are made in it. Colonel Mason and most of the army officers are at Fort Sutler. Commodore Jones thinks it would he very imprudent to bring the public funds on shore, except in such sums as may he required for immediate use.

'■XHE Editors of the Cougressin af Globe pro 1. pose anew publicati n. To deserve the patronage Which Congress lias accorded to their reports of its debates, in receiving and making the Globe ihe official register, they intend to add promptituae to whatever merit lias hitherto re commended the work. They will publish a Daily Globe, to record the proceedings and de bates as lliey occur ; and a Congressional Globe periodically, as heretofore, embodying tlie re ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous matter which will accompany them in the daily print. To Blithe sheet of the daily newspaper, it is designed to gather the news from all quar ters, and complete tlie contents by drawing from every source bat may be of most interest among literary novelties, and of greatest utility in scien tific and practical works on agriculture. For material, the leading journals and periodicals of France and Great Britain, treating of such sub jects.will be consulted, and, it is hoped, ad\ an lageously used. Original essays, especially oil topics connected with agriculture, w ill be obtain ed from tlie most enlightened and practical men of our country. The Gl. be, ns a newspaper, and as a vehicle of information and aiuiisemctit in other reaper**, will lie under the charge of Francis I*. Bi.ai: and Janies C I’ickktt. The Congressional department anti business concerns of Ihe paper will lie undo! the management of John C Hives The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as connected wi ll the press. 11l introducing Mr Pickett as one of the concern, they will he al lowed to say a few words of him. He is a gen tleman favorable known to tlie Government, for talent and judgment which distinguished bis di plomatic service while connected with the mis sion to Quito ; and more recently when Charge il’Affaire- to Peru. From his pen mainly the Globe will derive the selections and translations from the French journals and periodicals, the comments on them, and the other literary articles which will he found among its chief attractions. The Globe will he published daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly the balance of the year,and will undergo distribution in the form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe and an Appendix. The W eekly Globe will be the vehicle of the miscellaneous uni ties of the dailv print, with a synopsis of the Congressional proceedings. The Congressional Globe will embody, as it has done for the last sixteen y ears,Congression al pioceedingsand debates exclusively. The Appendix will embrace the revised speeches separately, and the messages of the President of the United States, and the reports of the Heads oftlte Executive Departments. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will be published as fast as the proceedings of Con gress wiii make a number. Subscribers may ex pect one number of each a week during thu first four weeks of a session, and two or three num bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of the session. Nothing of a political party aspect will appear in the Globe save that which will lie found in the Congressioh.il reports. A paper assuming to be an iinpaitial vehicle for all sides, canuot maintain its character if the editorial columns reflect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe have borne their share in tlie party conflicts of the press They claim an honorable discharge from the. vocation. The Globe will inviolably maintain tlie neutrality which its relation l» Congress imposes. TERMS: For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly during the recess,) a year, : : $5 00 For one copy of the Weekly Globe, one year,2 00 For one copy of the Congressional Globe, during the next session, if subscribed for before the first Hay of January, 1 00 For one copy of the Appendix during tho next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, : 1 00 For six copies of either the Congressional Globe, or the Appendix, or part of both, 5 00 The subscription for the Congressional Globe or the Appendix, after the Ist of January, will ho $1 50. The original price of One Dollar does not pay the expenses of the publication in consequence of tho great increase of matter pub lished. Our prices for these papers are so low that we cannot afford to eredi, them out ; therefore no person need consume time in ordering them, unless the subscription price accompanies the order.
