Sirk Maxuracrure IN THE Unirep States.
—The Ecohomist says: “It is estimated that
there are now thirty-six mills in operation
in different parts of the United States, in
which from 8,000 to 10,000 hands are constantly employed. About three fourths of
the operators are children under sixteen
years of who are engaged at comparatively titing wages. entire value and
machinery of the mills connected with the
eilk trade is estimated at $3,000,000, The
average cost of manufacture on silk goods
is about one-half of the raw material, Taking, therefore, the value of the import of
raw silk, in 1859, at One million, we sball
have about two million dollars as the present value of the annual production of silk
goods in the United States.”
Lower CaLirornia.—A correspondent of
the Alta, writing from San Diego, Nov. 20,
says:
The news from Lower California is very
meagre. From all that I have been able to
learn, there has been some seventeen killed
on both sides in the late disturbances there.
I have not been able to, as yet, get a cor-.
rect list of them. Gov. Esparza has organized all of his forces, and is now following
up Mendoza, who is encamped, it is said,
near the boundary line.

with them stock of all kinds, and everything
else that they could etes! from the ranches.
OvrraGes 1x Los Ance.es County,—The
Los Angeles Star of Noy, 24th, says:
For some time past we have had to detail
almost weekly, the outrages committed by
a band of desperadoes on our people in the
Southern portion of this county, aud more
particularly inSan Diego county. These
outrages are still continued, and tosuch an
extent that, as we have been informed by a
gentleman from San Diego county, it is abxolutely necessary, when a ranchero leaves
his house to take with him a guard, armed
to the teeth, Moreover, to protect the stock
from the depredations of these outlaws, the
bands are kept moving, never camping two
nights in the same place.
No Bee Swarms IN Missourt —Throughont Missouri the total failure of the bees to
swarm duriog the summer just past attracts
considerable attention, and excites much
speculation. Io some localities, farmers
who have a hundred stands, and who watch
closely the movements of the bees, report
that, although the little insects have worked
all through the sammer with their accustomed industry, and have multiplied largely, not a single swarm has been observed.
New Hat in Srockron.—It is proposed

Tarth—Its Early Wistory.
That pleasant and highly interesting correspondent of the Bulletin, who has for a
year or more been sketching Europe, from
Paris to Piedmont, writes, under date of
September Ist, the following brief story of
the “Early History” of Turin, the beautifal capital of Piedmont :
About B.C. 500 a colony of Ligurians
laid the foundation of'urin, and it w8 not
long before the town teeame one of considerable size and importance. This tribe or
colony was called Turini, and hence the
name of the city. The misfortunes that fell
upon Turia, commenced with Hanniba!

sage of the Alps, He found the place populous aud powerful, and endeavored to gain
it as an ally, railing in which, and fearin
its hostility, te fell upon it with fire an
sword, and entirely destroyed it. It soon
however, arose from its ruins. and became a
Roman colony, and received within its walls
an army of reserve which Julius Owsar left
there when he marched against the Gaule.
After this, Constantine destroyed the city
because it espoused the cause of Maxentius
Again it arose from itsruins, and was again
sacked and ruined Stilichio, From this calamity it recovered, and was then sacked
and destroyed by Atilla, After this, pho:nix-like, it sprung up again, and was again
sacked by Odoacer, In fact, all the barba
rian hordes who successively established
themselves in Italy, left fatal traces of their
power and ferocity at Turin, To all these
events and disasters it proved superior—soon recovering its former wealth and position, For some time after the destruction
. occasioned by Odoacer, it enjoyed compar. ative peace under a Ducal qvrmenett of

their rule to have rapidly increased in power and wealth—so much'so, that it was raised to the rank of a capital of one of the
Duchics of that Kingdom. This prosperity
contivued, with but slight interruptions, antil Charlemange crossed the Alps, destroyed the Lombard Kiogdom, and placed the
Marquis de Suse in power at Yurin, and
conferred upon him princely authority.
This power was enjoyed and exercised by
the house of Suse until 1045, when Alderic
Monfredi IIT, the last male representative
of the house, marvied hig only daughter and
child, Adelaide, to Otien, Count de Maurienne, of Savoy, and gave her his domivions
for her dower. This was the origin of the
present royal family of Sardinia,
After the sovereignty had passed into the
house of Savoy, Turin continued to suffer
more or less from war, mostly with or on
account of France—sometimes as an ally
and sometimes as an enemy, In 1536.
Francis I, of France, conquered Piedmont,
and becoming enraged at the prolonged resistance of Turin, wholly destroyed four of
its richest saburbs, and greatly injured the
city itself. From this calamity it had not
