CALIFORNIA. We have received a communication from Dr. SEPTER PATRICK, dated Youba [sic]

SEPTER PATRICK,

dated Youba

Diggings, Dec. 17, 1849. From some cause the letter has been a long time on the way. We make the following extract: To my Friends on the Wabash and its

vicinity:

We had on the whole rather a pleasant trip across the plains, when we consider the great distance. and the time it takes to perform it with safety to our teams. We were 4 months and 10 days from the valley of the Mississippi to that of the Sacramento. We struck that valley 160 miles north of the City of Sacramento, on the 1st of October, all in health and safety, without losing an animal or anything else, except to drop from the train I was with three wagons, which we done as our teams get weaker and our loads lighter, so fewer wagons could carry it with less labor to our animals. I would here say to future emigrants not

to take that road—it is 250 or more miles further, and possesses no advantages over the other routes across the Sierra Nevada, except the pass over the mountain itself, which is very good. In taking this northern route I have seen all of Northern California as far south as the City of Sacramento. This is a new town, rapidly improving, situated near the junction of the American and Sacramento rivers. I should think it now contains about 10 or 12 thousand inhabitants. It is not a city of fine buildings, but city of tents. It does an immense business in furnishing supplies to the miners. As to the country generally, as far as I have seen it, it is not adapted to agriculture, as the Lord never sends rains in this country from the first of May to the first of November. Wheat ntay be grown to any extent, as it produces well without irrigation, even the second crop from the same seeding. Corn, Potatoes, and some vegetables might be produced on someof the bottom lands. But what is the use of speaking of agriculture, when labor is worth $8 to $10 per day. Even the improved lands about the ranches are entirely neglected. Sutter's large farm is entirely deserted.— There is no chance to irrigate through this part of the country but plenty of good feed for horses, cattle, &c. I fear the country is not as healthy as has been represented. It resembles in many respects the valley of the Wabash, having large and extensive overflowed bottom lands, and in fact the main part of the valley is but little above high water mark, and a large portion of the citizens (even the Indians) looked as I have seen many of my frionds on the Wabash look in August and September, a little touched with the effects of chill and fever. So far as the mining interest goes that is good—there is gold plenty for all that may come —in fact the whole country out from the valley is covered with it; the higher you ascend the streams the richer the earth is with it—it extends from one end of California to the other, as far back towards the mountains as has been explored—but you must not expect to get it without labor and privation, and that not very fast—from one to two ounces per day is doing well. Although the income may seem large, the expenses ere large in proportion—but a man with health, industry and economy may make a handsome little fortune in two or three years at mining it. None but good able-bodied men and boys are fit for miners— boys can perform part of the service as well as men, and are generally more healthy. We have to live on bread, pork, and beef, without vegetables. I have never tasted even a potatoe [sic] since I left the States. Beans and rice we can get plenty at 10 cts per lb., but potatoes, onions, pickles and fruits cost from 50 cts to $1 per lb. Corn, wheat and barley 15 to 20 cts per lb. As to getting here, across the plains is the cheapest route, and is more within the reach of every man who may wish to come. His wagon and team is worth more to him here than it cost him at home. Mine was worth as much as my whole outfit cost me for myself and son. Bring mules and horses—mules, horses and cattle all perform the trip well with proper attention, light wagons and loads, and slow but steady driving. I wish to warn you particularly against heavy wagons and loads; common good light two horse wagons, even for oxen, are heavy enough, as the roads are good most of the way, particularly the first three-fourths of it when your loads will be heaviest. 1200 lbs. is as much as any wagon should start with, and if that could be reduced to 1000 lbs. or less, so much the better. Every man wants when he crosses the Missouri in provisions 100 lbs. bacon, 100 lbs. flour, 50 lbs. hard bread or crackers, 35 lbs. Sugar, 20 lbs. coffee, a little rice, corn meal, beans, vinegar, salt, and a small quantity of good brandy. As to clothing, you want but little, and that woollen. You have no need for light clothing although the sun shines very hot in the middle of the day, the air is cool and frost every few nights on the whole journey: a flannel shirt is the most comfortable and healthy thing a man can wear. Bring as little baggage as possible with you—any surplus will not pay for hauling. You want good woollen blankets—plenty for bedding, as the nights are cool. Guns, pistols, dirks, &c., you have no use for, unless it may be one good rifle for each wagon. Leave your women and children at home, this is no place for them at present.

Yours, &c., S. PATRICK. -----

Free Banking.

Wo are indebted to John tf. Donne, Esq., of the Senate, for ft copy of tho bill reported by him

w*o

authorise the

business of banking" in Maryland. It authorises an individual or association 10 deposit, wiih the treasurer of the Statq, United States or Maryland stocks, and to receive an equivalent in notes of a denomination not less than five dollars, signed by the treasurer, which are made receivable in payment for taxes due the State. Upon these notes banking operations may be( commenced, but they are subject to be redeemed on demand by the banker, under the penalty of having bis concern wound up.

The bill appears to be drawn up with great care, and affords entire security to note-holders bat whether if passed, it wouhi result in benefit to the Community, we are unable to say. It strikes us, how* ever, that the paper currency of the State Is at presentsuficiently expansive for all wholesome purposes but it is not A surest to which we have given-much consideration.—Bait.

as OUR COUNTRY. 4 Poets and statisticians Have speculated npon the probable future of iliegreat American Republic, but we doubt if the widest stretch of the enthusiast's'vision reaches the positive strength and splendor the U. States will have accomplished, one hundred years from this date.— Of soil, between the two great Ocean*, and Central America and the ice regions of the North—etspposingthe Anglo Saxon to respect the boundaries

South

America—there is plenty for an Empire, leps crjwded than the British Isles, of three hundred million souls. This soil embraccfe every climate of earth is susceptible of every product essential to human comfort or loxury contains every variety of mineral wealth, and is intersected from centre to circumference by natural channels—lakes and riversPfor the commerce of its wealth within itself, or with the Oceans, and the Na* tions whose ships traverse them.

At the rate our population has increased during tho period between the last two censusses—and there is every reason for believing the ratio will increase— another century will give the U. States a population of two hundred millions. Tho careful author of "Cuba and the Cubans," carries the estimate to three hundred millions. Let us imagine for a motnent, what some living may see, the American Union risen to an Empire of two hundred millions of free, intelligent souls. From the summits of the Rocky

will net this empire with rail-roads and

telegraphs stoam will whirl the products of earth over its land and water, and the lightning bear the thoughts of its people from ocean to ocean. Simple in its government and institutions harmonious in the intelligence and fraternity of its population exhaustless in wealth of soil and toil, and semi-omnipaieni in the unity and energy of its communities, it will form a spectacle of hope to whoever is in bondage, of terror to whoever is tyrant, nnd of self-sufficiency and glory, such as empire dreamers never yet framed. The eyes of nations are preparing for such a spectacle, and nothing but the faithlessness of the American people can avert it. It is coming, as surely as the morn cometh—and as beautiful. Ere then, human bondage will have ceased within its borders, and foreign power, whether grasping the Canadas, or Mexico, or the Islands of tho Gulf, will have passed awny from those spaces forever. The Northern continent of the Western he is he re an it is an am be our Union, one and indivisible, nnd a Republic, against which, the balance of tho world cannot prevail.

The great and increasing demand tor ths "original article" has induced a host of unprincipled men toput forth spurious mixtures, and to give currency to their nostrums, attach the name of Wild Cherry, thinking to borrow a rupulotion from thai already established. As you valut your lives, beware of them. Some are called 'Balsams,' 'Cherry Pectoral,' 'Wild Cherry ami Tar,' 'Wine of Wild Chsrry,' 'Wild Cherry Pills."bnrsaparilla and Wild Cherry Bitters,' and a host others, who, in some way, attach the name ot Wild Cherry. No one ever thought of using this name for an article of their own until il had become established and known as belonging to one of the greatest remedies ever discovered for the benefit of the human family.

TJuit remedy is Dr. Swayne's Compound Sy-, rup of Wild Cherry, the original and only genu' ine. Remember, it isput up in square bottles.caverod,with a beautiful wrapper, (steel engrnvinc.) with tho portrait of Dr. Swavne thoreon: also his

SWAYNE'S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, "A safe and effectual remetiy for orm-t, Dyspepsia, Cholera Morbus, sickly or Dyspeptic Children or Atlults, and the most 4tu useful family Medicine ever of' u, fered to the public.

This remedy is one which has proved successful for along time, and it is universally acknowl

edged

by all who have tried it to be far superior, (beingso very pleasant to the taste, at tho samo timo effectual) to any other mwlicine over em ployed in diseases for which it is recommended. It is not only deBtrovs worms, but it invigorates the whole system. It is harmless in its effects and the health of the patient is always improved bvits use even when no worms are discovered. 5-BEWARE OF MISTAKES.^

REMEMBER: Dr. Swayne'S Vermifuge is now put up in square bottles, ilinving receutly been changed covered with a benutiful wrapper, (steel engraving,) with the portrait of Dr.Swayne thereon engraved. Bear this in mind, and le not dewivef CLEANSE AND PURIFY. Dr. Swayne's Sngnr Contnd SarsapRrtlla .and Extractor Tar Pills.
