The gold region of the Sacra mento is undoubtedly the most rich and extensive gold region yet discovered upon the face of the earth. Many fortunes wilt undoubtedly be mado there many per bom will unquestionably leave there poor, and probably many never will leave there, Trr uold Heuion It waa our inten tion to present our reader with a deaerip. lion of the extensive gold, ailver and Iron mines, recently discovered in the 8ierra Nevada, together with tome other tmpor laajt item for the good of the people, but wsror. compelled to defer it for a futura number. Our price current, many valu- bib coiDinunicaiions. our marine raurnai and other important mailers have alto been crowded out. Dut to enable our distant readers to draw tome idea of the extent of the (told mine, wo will confine our remark i to a few facts. The country from the Aiu ba to the San Joaauin river, a distanco of aoout 13U miles, and from the base to. wards tho summit of the mountains, as far Snow Hill, about 70 miles, has been ex plored, and gdd found on eicry part. There are now probably 9000 people, in, cludina Indians, encsced collcctins cold. The amount collected by each man who woks, rihges irom viu to 9330 per day. The publisher of this paper, whilo on a tour alono to tho mining diitrict, collect ed, with the aid of a ihovel, pick and tin pan, about SO inches in di'smcter, from f!4 lo $138 a day averaging $100. The gross amount collected will probably ex. ceed 9000,000, of which amount our mer. chants have received about tJAO.UOO worth for goods sold : all within iho short space of eight weeks. Tho largest piece of gold known to bo found weighed four pounds. CerrcspoiKltne of lbs Californlaa ) Ntw Hiltstu, Juno 30, 1849. Mr, Editor havo just returned to Fort Sacramento, from the gold region, from whence I write this. And in compliance with my promise, on leaving tho scacoatl, I send you such Items as I havo gathered. Our trip, after leaving your city, by way nf Pueblo San Joso mid tho San Joaquin river, wo found very agreeable. Passing over a lotcly country, with its tallies and hills covered with the richest verdure, In tertwincd with flowers of every hue. Tho country from tho San Joaquin river to ll.la place, It rich beyond comparison, and will admit of a dense population. We found the fort a miniature Manchcs. tor, a young Lowell. The blacksmith's hammer, the tinner, the carpenter and the weaver'a shuttle nlvinn bv the itureuuitv of Indians, al which place there aro sev eral hundred in Iho employ of Capt. J. A. Suiter. I waa much pleased with a walk in the largo and beautiful garden attach ed to the fort. It contains about 8 or 10 acre laid out with great taste under the auperviaion of a young Swiss. Among the iruit tree I noticed the almond, lux, olive, pear, apple and peach. The grape vlnee are in tne mgnest stalo or cultivation, and ror vegetable I would refer you to a aeed. man' catalogue.

A tier leaving the Fort, we passed ua on the south bank of the American Fork, about 13 miles. This is a beautiful river of about thrco fathom deep, the water being very cold and clear. And after leaving the river we passed through a country rolllna and timbered with oak. We soon commenced ascending the hills at I lie base or the great nierra Nevada, which are thickly set with oik and nine timber, and soon arrived at a small rivu- let. Une or our party dippsd up a cup full of sand from the bed of the creek, washed it and found five piece of gold. This was our first attempt at gold dig. ging. About dark we arrived at the saw mill ol Captain Sutter, havinar rode over gold, ailver, platina and iron mine some m or 30niies. rue past tl.reo dsys I have spent in exploring tins mountain in this district and conversinc with many men who have been at work bore for some week past. Should I attempt In relato to you all that I havo seen and havo been told concerning the extent and production nf the mine, I am fearful your reader would think me exaggerating loo much, therefore I will keep within bound. I could fill your columns with the most as. tonlshing tales concerning the mines here tar excelling Iho Arabian Knights, and all true to the letter. A near a I can ascertain, there are now about 3000 persona engaged, and the roads leading to tho mine are thronged with people and wagon. TIm implement used are shovels, Dicks,' tin pan, wooden bowls and Indian baskets. From on to nine ounces of pure virgin gold per day is gathered oy every man wno pnorm tne requisite Isbor.
