The Pioneer, Mr. Potter has laid upon our table the Pioneer for February. It is as usual rich in original matter, containing articles upon a wide range of subjects, most of them well written.

The accounts of the suffering of the poor in New York are harrowing in the extreme.-~ The winter is more than usually inclement— rents are exorbitantly high—fuel is a luxury that none but the comparatively wealthy can enjoy-—provisions are dearer than during the Flour Riots, and employment cannot be procured. charged more than half their hands. On the 5th of January, a committee of the unemployed workmen, appointed at a meeting held at Hope Chapel recently, consisting of Robert Grant, Wm. West, Ben Price, Ira B. Davis, Wm. Rowe, and William Arbuthuot, appeared before a committee of the Board of Councilmen, to whom was referred the petition of the unemployed workmen. The meeting was called at two o'clock. in the chamber of the Board of Councilmen, but the committee did not make their appearance before three. In their address on the occasion, they say: “Now, gentlemen, you are the legislators in and for the city and county of New York.—Joined with the Board of Alderman, you are together familiarly termed the Fathers of the city. Why you are thus called we cannot conceive, unless it be that you hold the same relation to the citizen that a parent does to his child. As your children, then, we come to you, our parents, and ask that you will simply protect us in the exercise of our rights, upon condition that we will faithfully perform our duties. We ask ycu, in the first place, that ou will, as faras in you lies, secure to us the right to labor. Gentlemen, we are informed, and believe, that the corporation of the city hold in trust for the people not less than five thousand building lots which are as yet unimproved. Now, therefore, in the memorial which we have been instructed to present to you, we pray that these lots may be improved by the erection of buildings thereon, suitable for dwellings for the tenantry of the city, and then let to occupants only at a just and equal rent, by which we mean a moderate and limited per cent. upon the value of the same. You have the power to enact that this shall be done. Do it, and there will be work enough, and more than enough, to occupy five thousand workmen six months in the year, protect the working class against the increase of exorbitant rents, decrease the rate of taxation, and yield an income to the city treasury. We trust that you will promptly take into consideration these, our reasons for the request we have preferred, and forthwith grant our prayer.” Destitution and suffering at the Five Points had increased so much within the last few days before the sailing of the steamer, that an appeal had to be made to the benevolent. It requires one thousand loaves of bread daily to keep the destitute in that locality from suffering by starvation. The Mayor, feeling the distress which prevails among the working classes, conceived the idea of employing them at the new resorvoir to be constructed between the Fifth and Seventh Avenues, and Eightysixth and Ninetieth streets, but objections . were urged to that project by the Croton Aqueduct Board. On the 8th January there was great excitement in the Park all day-— Over two thousand of the unemployed workmen assembled at ten o'clock in the morning . in front of the City Hall steps, apparently. however, without any particular object in the crowd clustered in groups, discussing the . probabilitics of getting work, and many of people are without. They arestarving. They) want not charity, but work. and they look to! you to give them the means of earning a live-. lihood until better times come.” Mayor Wood . ple most sincerely, but regret that it is ont of. my power to do anything for them. The Char. does uot allow the Mayor or any head of departments to give more than $250 without a contract, and that sum would go but a small} way among so many. But, gentlemen, this} subject is now urder consideration, and the matter will be laid before the Common Coun. cil and no doubt something will be devised for . the actual relief of the poor.” te Domrstic Manveactcres.—We noticed the past week a well-loaded team in town with handsome pottery ware for sale at wholesale and retail, made in Sacramento.

Mexico.—Santa Anna is still emulous of the fame of the tyrant of the Tuillerics, as will be seen by the following order restraining the press, which is officially published in the Heraldo: “The Supreme Government has observed with positive disgust, that some of the periodicals and journals published in this capital, copy into their columns notices or articles taken from foreign papers of the same class, in which are inculeated and maintained anarchical and discordbegetting doctrines, diametrically opposed to the ideas which the present political administration of our country professes and maintains. Under these circumstanees, and in’order to avoid the evil that such doctrines may occasion, General, his Most Serene Highness the President, has ordered that all editors of periodicals and journals published in this capital, be admonished absolutely to abstain from committing the offence pointed out, and informed that if any one contravene this supreme determination, he will be ehastised with such severity as the circumstanees of the case may demand.” It will be remembered that a few weeks ago it was stated that employees of the Mexican government who voted against . Santa Anna were broken of their offices. and imprisoned. Reeent intelligence shows that employees who did not vote at all have also been dismissed. That is free suffrage with a vengeance! Santa Anna’s forces were making head against the insergents in several places. . ee Iowa Senator.—Jas.

The! circumstances are these :—Mr. Cook lost. one thousand dollars and accused Maun of taking it. He searched Maun’s premises without finding it. He then reported . around Benicia that Maun was a thief, . and had taken his money. Maun heard! this, and meeting him at Judge Lownes’, . in Green Valley, he asked him if he spread . such reports, and if he still believed them, to which Cook replied he did. Maun then raised a shot-cun and fired, and Cook fell from his horse. Maun escaped on his own horse to the hills, It is thought Cook cannot live through the night. ee A Fineman’s Toasr.-—“The ladies, their eyes kindle the only flames which we . cannot extinguish, and against which there . is no insurance.” NOTICE--The undersigned residents on Brush creek are conversant with the facts, and approve the statements of J.

On the 5th of January, a committee of the unemployed workmen, appointed at a meeting held at Hope Chapel recently, consisting of Robert Grant, Wm. West, Ben Price, Ira B. Davis, Wm. Rowe, and William Arbuthuot, appeared before a committee of the Board of Councilmen, to whom was referred the petition of the unemployed workmen. The meeting was called at two o'clock. in the chamber of the Board of Councilmen, but the committee did not make their appearance before three. In their address on the occasion, they say: “Now, gentlemen, you are the legislators in and for the city and county of New York.—Joined with the Board of Alderman, you are together familiarly termed the Fathers of the city. Why you are thus called we cannot conceive, unless it be that you hold the same relation to the citizen that a parent does to his child. As your children, then, we come to you, our parents, and ask that you will simply protect us in the exercise of our rights, upon condition that we will faithfully perform our duties. We ask ycu, in the first place, that ou will, as faras in you lies, secure to us the right to labor. Gentlemen, we are informed, and believe, that the corporation of the city hold in trust for the people not less than five thousand building lots which are as yet unimproved. Now, therefore, in the memorial which we have been instructed to present to you, we pray that these lots may be improved by the erection of buildings thereon, suitable for dwellings for the tenantry of the city, and then let to occupants only at a just and equal rent, by which we mean a moderate and limited per cent. upon the value of the same. You have the power to enact that this shall be done. Do it, and there will be work enough, and more than enough, to occupy five thousand workmen six months in the year, protect the working class against the increase of exorbitant rents, decrease the rate of taxation, and yield an income to the city treasury. We trust that you will promptly take into consideration these, our reasons for the request we have preferred, and forthwith grant our prayer.” Destitution and suffering at the Five Points had increased so much within the last few days before the sailing of the steamer, that an appeal had to be made to the benevolent. It requires one thousand loaves of bread daily to keep the destitute in that locality from suffering by starvation. The Mayor, feeling the distress which prevails among the working classes, conceived the idea of employing them at the new resorvoir to be constructed between the Fifth and Seventh Avenues, and Eightysixth and Ninetieth streets, but objections . were urged to that project by the Croton Aqueduct Board. On the 8th January there was great excitement in the Park all day-— Over two thousand of the unemployed workmen assembled at ten o'clock in the morning .

in front of the City Hall steps, apparently. however, without any particular object in the crowd clustered in groups, discussing the . probabilitics of getting work, and many of people are without. They arestarving.

Mexico.—Santa Anna is still emulous of the fame of the tyrant of the Tuillerics, as will be seen by the following order restraining the press, which is officially published in the Heraldo: “The Supreme Government has observed with positive disgust, that some of the periodicals and journals published in this capital, copy into their columns notices or articles taken from foreign papers of the same class, in which are inculeated and maintained anarchical and discordbegetting doctrines, diametrically opposed to the ideas which the present political administration of our country professes and maintains. Under these circumstanees, and in’order to avoid the evil that such doctrines may occasion, General, his Most Serene Highness the President, has ordered that all editors of periodicals and journals published in this capital, be admonished absolutely to abstain from committing the offence pointed out, and informed that if any one contravene this supreme determination, he will be ehastised with such severity as the circumstanees of the case may demand.” It will be remembered that a few weeks ago it was stated that employees of the Mexican government who voted against . Santa Anna were broken of their offices. and imprisoned. Reeent intelligence shows that employees who did not vote at all have also been dismissed. That is free suffrage with a vengeance! Santa Anna’s forces were making head against the insergents in several places. . ee Iowa Senator.—Jas.

She wason the opposite side of the bush, without the knowledge of the Indian. The entire charge of shot passed through her thigh entering on the outside, near the knee, and passing through upward, shivering to atoms the small bone of the leg, and making an aperture large enough to admit a@ man’s hand. rr <r Deatu oF aN Otp Mercuant.—Ebcnezer Wheelwright, Esq., of Newburyport, Mass., died in that city on Tuesday, at the advanced age of 91 years.

The! circumstances are these :—Mr. Cook lost. one thousand dollars and accused Maun of taking it. He searched Maun’s premises without finding it. He then reported . around Benicia that Maun was a thief, . and had taken his money. Maun heard! this, and meeting him at Judge Lownes’, . in Green Valley, he asked him if he spread . such reports, and if he still believed them, to which Cook replied he did. Maun then raised a shot-cun and fired, and Cook fell from his horse. Maun escaped on his own horse to the hills, It is thought Cook cannot live through the night. ee A Fineman’s Toasr.-—“The ladies, their eyes kindle the only flames which we . cannot extinguish, and against which there . is no insurance.” NOTICE--The undersigned residents on Brush creek are conversant with the facts, and approve the statements of J.

Stewart! We would here} say to the Dr. that we would not have given} publie notice of him, if we had not deemed it} our duty to inform the citizens of this vicinity . that such was his disposition. Not only . in that case, however, has he thus acted. but in others that we could mention if we . deemed it necessary.

Cummings, seeing the position he had placed himself in, and kno¥ing no way . to avoid the charge made against him, thinks j to assail me by telling the public that my . brother got drunk, that he fell into a cayota hole, and that he (Dr. Cummings) attended him; and further, that I had promised to pay him and had not doneit. Now Dr. whether my brother was drunk or no, I do not know ; but as for my promising to pay you for your services, you know that is untrae. ‘To the . contrary, I was not within six miles of the . place when the accident happened, but was immediately sent for, and when I came to him . I was informed that Dr. Cummings had been }to see him, and that you were so drunk that you could hardly stand when you came,— Secing the wounded condition my brother was in, and the mud and dirt that had gathered in his wounds while in the hole remaining there yet. I sent for Dr. Knox. Now Dr. if you think to do me an injury by publishing falsehoods, I am happy to inform you thatI have been too long in this place for a man of your quality to do me the least injury. There is not a man in the State of California that can say and tell the truth that I ever promised to pay him and did not doit. But Dr., if Ihad the disposition to show the public things derogatory to you, or the station you seem to think you occupy. I should not tell of your brother getting drank, nor yourself, for that is an every day’s occurrence—bnt I might tell them of your whipping with a cowhide, an old, decrepid man, Mr. Salsberry, by name, and other things that prove you a gentleman, that probably you would not like to hear SoTI will forbear for the present, and make no promises for the future.
