Tue Dav we CeLeskate.—The. ringing of bells, the roaring ef cannon and the sounds of martial music will send_a patriotde thrill through every beart in the wide ex‘tent of our country to-day. We doubt not that the heart of many » poor fellow who thas been engaged in the war against the Union, will rejoice to-day that he is still uo‘der the old flag. It wwuld seem that no man born upon American soil, cau remember the sufferings of the patrivts of the Revolution, and the glorious nation born out of those troubles, without being inspired with ‘some light reverence and love for the nation. On such occasions as this, thé achievements of the Revolutionary patriots should be recounted to the children, and they should be told how tlie path to liberty was marked by bloody tracks, in order that it may de now highly esteemed. Then the The truths entncia” ted in the Declaration were forgotten, and the-stain of slavery rested upon us for nearly ninety years. The rebellion then came “pon us asa punishment for our national sins, and the country, after a baptism of blood, came out purified and indeed a lend of freedum. The Declaration which has rendered this day immortal should now be doubly dear to every lover ofliberty. Dear, because it enunciated principles of government which shall stand as long as time, and doubly dear, because those principles are The day star of peace has arisen in this land and our patriot armies are engaged in industrial pursuits. The sword is beaten into a ploughehare. At-such a time as this, awd under such cifcumstances, citizens of this land should rejoice. The cares of business and évery concern should be cast wide, aud the day should be one of rejoic ing so long asa love of liberty exists in the Tue Cimcus.—The Cosmopolitan Circus will give a performance in this city, thi, afternoon and evening. In addition to their other attractions, they have secured the serclown. Mr. Jackeon is pronounced by the press to be the best clown that ever appeared before a Califoruia audience. His imitations uf Kean, Buchanan and Forest, are close and amusing, while his stock of fresh jokes and witicisms seemingly last forever, and nevor fail to keep his hearers in a contiowous rour of langhter. The enterprising proprietors, Messrs. Lée & Ryland have exerted themselves to make their -circus a success, and they have succeeded. Go and see them this afternoon, as soon as the proto advise you to go to-night. Lemon Pusca.—We are indebted to Sherwood, of the National Exchange Sualoon, for a pitcher of delicious lemon punch. May he never go dry. Cronk.—Billy King, the indomitab'e bill-poster, treated the attaches uf this office, yesterday to an abundant supply of cronk. ee sect Tae Orver oF Exencises.—The order of exercises will be found in to-day’s pas per. A very attractive bill is presented by the Committee of Arrangements, and the en THE Mittraky.— che miembers of the Nevada Light Guaid are ordered to appear st 9 o'clock. Every soldier is expected to be on hand. tier s CHILDREN AT MéaDoW Lake —The report of the School Census Marshal, for Meadow Lake District, shows that there are 95 children between four and fifteen yeare of age in the District and 165 under fifteen years. This is doing pretty well for 8 district that bad'nt a child in it a year ago.Tue Evexine Trisun.—The new paper, the San Francisco Evening Tribune, Call, and is furnished at the same price.— The ‘Tribune is independent in politica, but sound on the Union, taking sides with Cona FY agencies of Eastern rance ies, so. successfully managed during the last six years by the above named gentlemen, are ing company n Fraacisco Wassera slope. The differént Eastern Assurance agencies were so obiy conducted by Mr. H. H. Bigelow prior to formation uf the Pacific Insurance Company of San favorable offers to him that he has been induced to undertake the general agency of their office, transferring, or rathet we may say, bringing over with bim the connection of the following five Insurance Companies; namely: The Home Insurance Company, of New York; The Hartford Fire Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn.; The Washington Insarafice Company, of New York: The Arctic Insurance Company, of New York ; The Phenix Insurance Company, of New York. The. inereasing favor that was shown by Calitornia assurers te the éompanies of their own State, rendered this incorporation of the old companies of New York snd Hartford with the Pacific not only beneficial, but necessary; and Mr. Bigélow, after mature deliberation and cor respondenee with the patent offices, selected that company as the most. qualified to represent the different companies whose interests were confided te his charge. As cvidence of the manner in which Mr. Bigelow has fulfilled his trust, as well as the way in which he bas benetited California, and her citizens bave repaid the advantages of assurance, we may mention that the different companies whereof he is agent, bave paid for losses during the last five years in this State and Neveda, over $750,000, at the same time making a net profit of four hundred thousand dollars — We -leave it to our readers to strike the balance of profit.and-loss. ‘ihe Life Assurance business of the old companies will be continued at the old office in Montgotbery street, under the firm of A. D. Smith & Co. Mr. Smith, for the purpose of giving his exclusive attention tu that branch, resigning the pusition of Clerk of Hie Twelfth District Court, a position, let us remark in passing, that has made him many friends by his courteous and gentlemanly conduct. He likewise will take charge of the business of the Connecticut Life Insurance Company of Hartford, and the Accidental Insurance Company of New York. Few men have more kuowledge of the Insurance business of this coast than Mr. Bigelow. His judgmeht has always been appealed toin cases of disputed claims. And even it he did not bring to the Pacific Company the large business of the different Eastern offices, we think that it bas made a et gain by securing his valuable services. ¢ look upon the Pacific as our principal Assurance Company, and it hae now a most efficient chief agent.— News Letter. E. ¥. Spence represents the above Company in this city. MovunTatns ABoutT SUMMIT Ciry.—The following is an extract from a report by Prof. Whitney, whe explored the mountains of Excelsior district: A réeconnvissance of the Sierra range between the paralluls of 36° and 38° North, recently undertaken, shows that this portion of the State of California, previously unexplored and unknown contains the greatest mass of mountains, taking width and average elevation inte consideration, which has yet been discovered within the limite of the United States—and pethaps in North America. At one point in the field of view there were observed five mountains of over 14, 000 feet elevation, aud about 50 peaks, which rose toa hightuf over 13.000 feet. The culminating poiut of the Sierra in this district is believed to be not less than 15,000 feet above the level of the ‘sea, which is considerably higher than Mount Shasta bitherto regarded as the most lofty peak in the United States. . A MAN named Bollinger has been arrest ed in Fresno county for murdering a Mr. Rogers, at the Buchanan Copper Mine. It appears whisky was the cause, says the Tulare Times.
