Ii Fork Tribune says “ We had the
of conversing with Lieut. Beale, who
returned from California, and obtaining
him a number of new and interesting par

■ers were almost entirely clear. Companies
*. re leaving San Francisco daily for the diggings
■nd miners constantly arriving with the products
■f their labors ; the fare to Sutter's Fort varied
twenty-five to fifty dollars, according to the
Kyle of conveyance. There was a great deal of
■rinking and gambling going on in San Francis
*o. Many of the gamblers who followed the A
aterican army through Mexico have gone to Cal.
ifornia, and by means of monte, roulette, and faro
Sables, fleece the natives very extensively.
I Lieut. Beale speaks in high terms of the order
Maintained by the population on the placers as
Kell as in the more settled parts. There are few
■isturbanccs of any kind, and owing to the strict
Mdministration of a kind of extempore justice,
fcrimcsliavc become less frequent. The only
punishment is hanging. When a person com
■nilsany theft or outrage he is brought before a
■ ury of twelve men selected for the purpose, who
fro through the regular forms of trial, and, if
■convicted, he is at once executed. Three men
Biave lately been hung at the diggings, one of
■them for stealing a horse.
I The last heard from Col. Fremont ho was on
[the Gila with his company. The report of his
[arrival in California, for which some of the pa
ipers give credit to Lieut. Beale, is incorrect.—
liMrs. Fremoi.t was al Panama, and would leave
Sin the first steamer for San Francisco,
l We arc indebted to Mr. Parrott for much new
land interesting information concerning the min-
Icral wealth of California. His visit to the pla
■cers was undertaken for the purpose of inform
-I®'ng himself on these points, and his revelations
ire even more astonishing than any which have
ircviously reached us. In all that concerns the
Prigging of gold he confirms all former statements.
■The limits of the placers toward the South are
■ constantly extended by new discoveries: the
i Northern districts, owing to their remoteness
• from civilization, have not yet been fully cx
| plored. The earth in some places lias been dug
j 10 the depth of nine feet, and the proportion of
gold found to be quite as great as on the surface.
S The richness of the dry diggings is in some pla
j ces almost incredible. Mr. Parrott estimates
I the amount of gold which will be obtained the
I present year at thirty millions of dollars,
j But the riches of California do not consist in
I gold alone. All the precious metals are there
| found in greater or less profusion, as well as the
j rarest and most valuable jewels. Two mines of
silver have been lately discovered, one of which
is known to but few persons, who jealously keep
the secret. Platinum is also known to exist in
considerable quantities. A rough diamond
nearly the size of a hen’s egg has been found by
one of the miners in the Sacramento valley.—
Gen. Vallejo, who was Mr. Parrot’s informant,
says it was brought to him by the finder, who
demanded SIBO,OOO for it. Emeralds of large
size are frequently met with, but their value is
scarcely known. Three or four new quicksilver
mines have been discovered, one of which, a
v ery rich deposite, lies between the valley of
Santa Clara and San Joaquin. The Forbes
mine, however, is the only one worked as yet.
Beds of coal have also been found near the coast)
but cannot of course be worked under the pre
sent state of tilings.
Mr. Parrot informs us that in the Sierra Ne
vada, to the Northeast of San Francisco, there is
* vo ' c ano in active operation. On tho 3d of
March the heaviest snow storms in the memory
of the inhabitants took place.
I here are but fifty women in the town of San
Francisco, twenty of whom arc Americans. The
arrival of a shipload of female emigrants would
he a cause of public rejoicing, and all the single
ones would receive offers before they landed.
Nearly the whole ofCapt. Sutter's forty thou
s'md bushels ofgraiu rotted in the field for want
° ' l!l uds to harvest it. The price of flour at the
-'efimgs when Mr. Parrot left was three dollars
P er pound, though at San Francisco it was down
t 0 ten dollars per barrel. There was not much
ness at the diggings, except scurvy and a few
oases of fever. There was also some scurvy at
f n rnnc * sc o, owing to the want of vegetable
i the cultivation of the soil being entirely
"og'ected. J

The most deeply though painfully interesting
piece of intelligence from San Francisco is that
ofa probable shipwreck, with lamentable loss of
life, which we find only in the Sun, neither of
the other papers making any mention of it. That
paper says : “Fears are entertained at San Fran
cisco that the brig Lola, from San Bias, with fifty
five passengers and a crew of seven, for San
I rancisco, had been lost at sea. The brig Vo
lante, which sailed from San Bias twenty four
days after the Lola, reports having passed at sea
eighteen dead bodies and pieces ofa wreck. Sev
eral other vessels report having seen pieces of a
wreck in about the same neighborhood. From
all the circumstances there is no doubt that the
Lola has been lost and all on hoard perished.”
Annexation of Cuba.— The London Times,
of the 21st u!t., reviews Mr. Thomas Caute Rey
nold’s letter relative to the Cuba question, at
some length,aud calls it a “mare’s nest.” The
same paper, on tho 23d ult., after mentioning
that a cabinet council had been held on tee 21st
ult., says :
“It appears unnecessary to assure the public
that there is not the slightest foundation for the
negotiation attributed by Mr. Reynolds, the A
merican diplomatist, to Sir 11. Bulvver. In our
remarks upon the subject on Saturday, we gave
the extract from Mr. Reynold’s letter as a speci
men of American credulity or American ingenu
ity—nothing more. There is no intention, nor
has such ever existed, of‘swapping’ away Gib
raltar, nor of doing any of the dreadful things
attributed by Mr. Reynolds to rhe English em
bassy at Madrid. Mr. Reynolds is, we fear, in
the habit of going a mare’s nesting by moon
light.”
Patrick Henry. — Patrick Henry is a promi
nent example that Greek and Latin alone do not
lorrn the man ; that true greatness is native in
the man, not dependent upon external conditions.
At twelve years of age he was an idle fishing
boy—at fifteen a clerk in a counting-house—at
twenty honestly delving the dusty earth with his
own hands to obtain a livelihood—at twenty
four a bankrupt merchant—at twenty-seven sud.
denly bursting from obscurity into a rich popu
larity, by a hold, noble, and astonishing display
of those mammoth powers of mind, which had
so long remained shrouded in darkness by the
mantle of liis own sublime contemplation—at
forty the first orator in America, and, in the lan
guage of Thomas Jefferson, “the greatest orator
that ever lived.”
Canada.—The Seat of Government of Canada
has been removed from Montreal to Quebec and
Toronto, on account of the recent riot at the first
mentioned city. The Legislature will meet four
years at Quebec and four at Toronto alternately.
This will teach the Montreal people the value,
even in a monetary sense, of good order.
France,. —The following are said to be among
the benefits already conferred by a Republican
from of Government on France—they are cogent
arguments against a return to monarchy :
“The multiplication of railroads, the economy
of the Government, the reduction of postage, the
cheapness of salt, the development of primary
education, the diminished price of journals and
hooks, the improvement of the Departmental
Councils, and five hundred improvements, in
short, of which the monarchy never dreamed.’’
Course of Tradf. —The Troy (N Y.) Daily
Whig notices as an interesting fact, the receipts
by lake at Oswego, on the 17th instant, of 38
lilids. of sugar by the Mississippi lake route :
The first shipment of sugar from the Missis,
sippi, via Oswego, it says, was made last season
it being a small invoice for Syracuse. The first
shipment of cotton for the New York market
from the South, vve believe, also took place last
season. Considerble quantities are now coming
forward hv that route, as also hemp from Ken
tucky. The opening of the Chicago and Illinois
Canal has created an inportant revolution in trade
so far as sugar and molases are concerned. In
stead of making their purchases at New York
and Philadelpha, the dealers on lake Michigan
(who supply the back country in a wholesale
way) now make their chief purchases at St. Lonis
Southern sugar, by way of Cincinnati and Tol
edo, for two or three years lias competed with
the seaboard-purchased article in Buffalo and
jti all the upper lakes ports the trade from that
direction is considerable. These things have
not a little effect on “up freight” business pro
pellers and vessels on the lake.
High and Low Classes. —The following is
from the Philadelphia Ledger. It is to the point
correct and frank.
“A high and low class” certainly do exist
in all cities. But who constitute the high class ?
Why the orderly, the sober, the quiet the law
loving and the peace-preserving citizens, with
out reference to rich or poor. Were it otherwise
society coujd not hang together for an hour.
Who constitute “the low class” but the law-brea
ders, the peace-disturbers, the riotons, the braw
ling inebriates and the incorrigible loafers. Not
the poor, for there are at least as many poor
among the sober and quiet portion of the com
munity, as rich. The distinction of “high and
low,” in classes, when properly defined, involves
no invidious sarcasm, ignominious degradation
on the poor. Who constitute the police ? The
poor. Who make up the ranks of the militia ?
The poor. If the Sheriffcails out his posse com
mitatus, who obeys the calf? Not the rich but
the poor. Who fight the battles of the country
in war? The poor. Who produce property,
and then protect it, but the poor ? We have
but two classes, the idle and the industrious, and
the latter only discharge all the duties of good
citizens.
Census of Charleston, S. C.—The census
Charleston just completed, shows the total po
puition to be26,4sl—white, 14,187 ; free colored
and slaves, 12,264 ; which on a comparison with
the United States census of 1840, shows a de

The Charleston Mercury says the above does
not embrace tho entire city, and thinks the

[FOR THE SOUTHERN KUSEfM.]
THE GHOST OF MY WIFE.
From the Diary of a Physician.
It was one summer’s eve as the day was just
closing,
The sun in his tendorest shadows reposing,
I left my abode to wander alone
On the banks of Saluda, my own native home.
But oh ! how surprised my soul on its breath
Stood trembling amidst the phantoms of death !
I looked and beheld by the grave of my wife,
Her once loved image, the pride of my life.
To the green cedar tree where we often played,
The phantom repaired in her funeral arrayed,
And beckoned ine come to enjoy the past,
And sigh for glory we should inherit at last.
But alas ! I stood trembling, amazed and sur
prised,
To see such perfection just fresh from the skies !
I thought I would give whole ages of bliss,
To enjoy one moment of such pleasure as this !
’1 wenty-five years ago, as the ferryman was
seated in his little ooltage on the banks of Salu
da river, waiting the summons of some wayfa
ring traveller, you might have seen riding with
a quick pace a modest young gentleman desiring
His outline was beautiful; his man
ners dignified and imposing, and from his taci
turn inclination you would readily suppose him
of superior intelligence than usually belongs to
our race. Ilis life had been devoted to errands
of mercy tosuffering humanity. He hadstudied
the classic lore.of Grecian and Roman Litera
ture, and made himself familiar with the pro
found learning ofGalen and llypocrates, so that
his life was fully devoted to the arts of Medicine.
It was on one of those beautiful July nights in
our Southern land, that he was suddenly called
to visit a pa.'ient, and was at the time I now
write on his way to the house of mourning. Go
with me, gentle reader, to the house of afflic
tion, the final sojourn of man on earth, and then
listen to the last whisperings of the spirit before
it leaves its clay tenement.
Seated by the bedside of my unconscious pa
tient, I attempted to arouse him from his deep
lethargy, but without success. I applied the
usual restoratives in such cases, and after labor
ing through the greater part of the night, and
nearly all hope of recovery abandoned, I per
ceived a kind of spasmodic tremor in the mus
cles of the face, when to my surprise, he opened
liis eyes and made a feeble effort to speak, which
although denied him for the moment, soon ena
bled him to renew the effort, when he became
conscious of liis true condition, and recognized
his physician and weeping friends aronnd him.
What rejoicing to behold a dying man rescued
from the grave by the divine agency of medicine.
My heart felt thankful to the great dispenser
of human events, that I had been the feeble in
strument in restoring life in the midst of death.
By this time my patient was so much recovered
as to enable him to speak. He called for a glass
of water, and then requested all to be still and
listen to what he was going to tell. “Last night
as you recollect,” addressing principally his
sister-in-law, “I went to the old place to cut a,
few bundles of oats, as was my custom about
sunset, just beside the old cemetery where ma
ny years ago I buried my wife ; this farm you
remember before the Revolutionary War, was
the property of my grandfather, who bequeathed
it to me on his dying bed. The land had nearly
all worn out, and pretty much abandoned. The
old graveyard which contains the remains of
many kindred and friends, had been neglected,
but as my business led me near these sacred
mansions of the dead induced me to take a lin
gering survey of their mouldering ruins. But
ah ! who can describe the feelings of one just in
the twilight of evening, wandering amid the sol
itude of tombs, when suddeuly shall appear be
fore him his long lost friend, whom he loved in
the sunny days of his youth, and by whom he
was beloved.” Here the old man trembled un
der the mighty throes of convulsive sobs, and
would have relapsed into a stupor, but for the
sudden dash of cold water which I threw in his
face; after a short pause, he resumed his story.
Said he, “I saw with these eyes the ghost ofmy
wi'e, the companion of my youth. She stood
fixedly gazing at me for a moment, and then
moved softly and noiselessly towards the old ce
dar tree just by, which used to be the play place
of our early days I made an effort to follow,
but found I could not. I then endeavored to
speak, but could utter nothing but a groan. My
soul would willingly have leaped out of its hor.
ror-stricken tenement, and have taken its flight
to the abode of the blessed, but I have been
spared by a mysterious Providence to reach this
house wlien my senses left me, and my life des
paired of till you could arrive.”
Suffice it to say, the old man never fully re
covered from this violent shock, but to the day
of his death fully believed that he saw his de
parted wife standing upon the earth, in all the
bloom and beauty which first vowed her tender
heart at the altar of Hymen.

lIELIGIOYg MEDITATIONS—MO. IV.
THE SPir.ITDAL TRAVELLER.
Life is a journey—a continuous, ceaseless go
ing forward. Though I may restat the approach
of evening, from the employments of the day—
though I may tarry awhile beneath the shade
on the roadside, while removing from place to
place—yet I am constantly journeying to the
land of spirits, and there is no leisure or idle
moment that I spend, which does not bring me
nearer to tny final destiny. When 1 lay my wea
ry limbs down for repose, when the sun lias left j
the land in temporary darkness, I arise in the
morning a few iiours older, a few hours nearer
the grave. The old clock in the parlor, whose
steady tick has chronicled the birth and death
of generations, will have a few hours less to 5
mark upon its dial, ere I shall have gathered up
my limbs to die. In the journey of life there is
no delay—no hindrance, but whether I laugh
or sigh, rejoice or mourn, I go on : the end of
time, sofarasl will be concerned in it, is just
ahead—a little way in the distance—and I ap
proach it with each fleeting breath.
Now, if it be the truth that I am every day
and every hour pushing forward to that period
when I must leave the earth, and the things of
the world, I must carefully consider the object
to which I am tending, what will be my state of
existence when I cease to be numbered among
the sons of men, and how I shall best prepare
myself for the change that awaits me.
Three things present themselves to the mind
of the prudent traveller, when lie entertains the
project of a journey. First, does his business or
his pleasure require his presence at the proposed
destination? If so, he then enters into contract
for the means of his conveyance, and lastly pro
vides the articles of subsistence while upon the
route. Thus I should begin to ascertain the end
of my travel, the means of passage, and the ne
cessity of living while prosecuting it. As to
the end of my spiritual journey : the new Jeru
salem, the City of the Living God—where the
sanctified spirits of humanity gaze upon the re
vealed magnificence of the Trinity, and the in
vocations of praise exercise the lips of immor
tality— where the soul, no longer curbed and
restrained by discouraging scenesofsin and ini
quity, reaches out with the freedom of its Di
vine Original, and grasps the etliffrial elements
of infinity—where the pains that rack the body,
the sorrows that afflict the heart, and the trials
that torment the spirit in this present life, are
banished forever, and every sentiment and eve
ry emotion are prompted by the bond of union
universal love.
Secondly, I consider the means which are to
be used in the transportation of the immortal
portion of my being to another and better state
of existence. It is true that Time will hurry me
to the Judgment Bar, yet may not bring me to a
participation in the joys of eternal bliss—there
fore I presume that another mean is requisite,
and that the two must co-operate in order to ac
complish the desired end. So lam persuaded
to distinguish the means of conveyance, as they
consist of two distinct principles, by different,
yet equally important offices. Time is the ac
tive, or present agent, and Religion is the pre
paratory instrument : Time carries me to the re
alities of eternity ; Religion prepares me to meet
them. And as Time without Religion, so far
as futurity is considered, would be valueless, so
Religion without Time could not fit me for the
avocations of the blessed. Hut both in unison,
may transport my spirit to the realms of ever
lasting day.
Finally, I am to ascertain what is necessary
to my existence while I proceed to the grave.—
The worldly traveller, if it be the case that en
tertainment and provisions may be obtained up
on the road, will not encumber himself with a
large amount of breadstuff's and food, but will
alight and procure whatever he wishes, when
ms appetite ueiuaiius. Neither is lib uuub!cu
about obtaining these articles, as he knows that
they abound throughout tho country in which he
travels, and can he possessed for a fair compen
sation. So should I not desire that the grace of
God—my spiritual meat—should be poured into
my Soul, when the immediate or closely ap
proximating necessity does not require it. It is
sufficient to know that my Heavenly Parent has
a rich Thrcne of Grace—an inexhaustible boun.
ty—where I may present myself, and obtain a
supply sufficient for every time of need. And I
should not be reaching forward with anxiety, en
deavoring to prepare myself against a future day
of trial, and fearful that I may he found wanting
when temptations bear heavily upon me : to be
confident that I may apply acceptably at the
storehouse of grace, and that I am a welcome
visitor, no matter how large mv demands, will
calm my fears, and give me ease again. More
over, as the provisions for tho worldly traveller
are in proportion with his willingness to buy :
so are the rich supplies of grace suspended on
the condition that I ask for them.
Having, therefore, Heaven for my destination;
Time and Religion for my conveyance; and
Grace for my subsistence, I commence leaving
my starting point in the rear, and advance with
a slow but firm pace toward my journey’s end.
I have started upon a bright, beautiful morning
the sun ofmy life is just mounting up above
the horizon, and the balmy breezes of religious
comfort fan my youthful locks to and fro. The
sweet minstrels of glory—the messengers of the
Gospel—charm my ear with the pleasant notes
of peace and charity, and here and there the
spring-time flowers of virtue and truth lift up
their heads and smile me welcome. Ever and
anon methinks I hear a group of guardian spirits
whispering together, and taking counsel in my
behalf—and I hear their mysterious wings as
they flutter over me, in ecstacy and delight.
But the worldly traveller often grows weary
on the road, and he stops beneath the shade of
a friendly oak, rests himself, and partakes of a
convenient half-meal. And so, when the per
secutions of the world have nearly exhausted
my patience, and the difficulties and trials of my
travel have nearly drawn out my stores of grace,
I must halt for a moment, beneath the shade of
God’s Temple, where he is wont to distribute so
largely to our necessities, and obtain a fresh sin
ply, and I receive a greater amount of the lift
giving food, and I get up, fresh and bouyant, to
renew my journey. ZAO.
Minor's Office,
Macon, June 4, 1849.
The general health enjoyed by the citizens of
Macon is, probably, without a parallel in any
community of its size in the Union. To insure
this blessing, a general state of cleanliness du
ring the summer months should be rigorously
enforced. The Aldermen of the city arc here
by called upon to report the names of two citi
zens for each square in the city, whose duty it
shall he to co-operate with the Aldermen and
Board of Health, to examine, at least once a
week, until the 10th of October, all yards and
cellars, and to require the instant removal from
tho city of all nuisances and filth calculated to
engender disease. Occupants of houses are
called upon to cause their premises to be thor
oughly cleansed and ventilated : and it is farther
suggested, that the yards and cellars having
been cleansed, should be sprinkled with lime or
some other disinfecting agent. Those who are
aware of the existence of nuisances of any kind,
likely to become dangerous to tho health of the
city, should lose no time in reporting the same
to the Mayor. Proper vigilance will be exer
cised by the city authorities for the removal of
all such annoyances. A supply of lime and
chloride of lime will be furnished free of charge,
by the city authorities, to those who are unable
to buy, on application at this office. The fines
imposed by law for neglect in cleansing yards
will in all cases be enforced, when reported to
this office. GEORGE M. LOGAN,
