At the} Aevada Democrat. ators 00 Chastaete, A correspondent of the South Carolinian writes from Charleston, uader date of Janaary 29th: Active preparations are in to take the fort held by Major pte wei and it will be done when the proper time comes, Delay in deference to the earnest request of other seccding States seems to be the reason why itis not immediately bombarded. Much excitement has existed, and sti)l prevails, at the postponement of action ; bat the authorities seem to think that something is due to those who are to share with us the toils of war, and that we should await the union of the seceded States into a Southern Confederacy before we commeuce actual hostilities, The spirit of our people, however, is chafing. and if the news comes that a collision bas occurred at Fort Pickens, the Governor will fiod it difficult to control the ardor of our volunteers, Itis stated today, authoritatively, that the Brooklyn bas gone to Peneacola with troops, 80 we may expect shertly to bear of an effort to land them. Major Chase,in command of the Florida military forces, is au accomplished officer and a very determined man, and will take care that the Republic suffers no detriment, The following is from a Charleston letter in the New York Times : An old planter, who was strongly opposed to tbe nallification fever in 1832, has started a subscription book, which ie receiving many signatures, each one pledging . himself to devote one-sixth of his income this year to the State, payable in three ia. stallments, It is calculated that the repubhie will gain one million dollars by this voluntary movement on the part of the mon. eyed classes, The volunteers now in service, and taken of their own free will from the luxuries at . home, serve the republic for twelve months, They are allowed $120 and rations, but they consider it a point of honor not to ask aoythiog. Their diet consiste of salt pork, . hominy, bacon, riee, coffee, served from tin cups and treochers, The reveille beats at 6 o’clock, and they are kept hard at work all day, building forte, rolling balls, ete.—no child’s play for delicate youths. Many of them I understand, are suffering from di. Seases incident to exposure, although the . ladies of Charleston are profuse in their donations to husbands, brothers and lovers, Tue Minirary Tax.—In speaking of the . military bill now before the Legislature, . the Sacramento Bee thas refers to the sectien levying a tax of three dollarsa year . on every person liable to military duty : That is enormous, considering the fact that the past and present military tax was and is but fifty ceuts per head, Here is an increase of five hundred per cent. at a single jump! Supposing that there are in the State eighty-five thousand persons subject to this tax—and taking the vote of the State at 120,000, there will, we think, be that mapy—the revenue for military purposes will amount to $255,000 per annum, . The tax is too heavy. There isno occasion to burden the people thus, and all for the mere gratification of military men, If the} present tax be not sufficient, let it be ad. vanced fifty per cent. or eo ; but to make it . anything like the amount this bill proposes, Lectrurgs oN Diamonp Makino.—Dr. I. N. . Underwood, of Sacramento, lectured at . Petaluma on the 20th inst., upon the theory of his famous diamond making experiment. The Journal says: He had a large andience, drawn together doubtless by curiosity. He displayed considerable research in electrical science, and . should he fail in producing a “diamoud of . the first water,” be will not in making} close of his leeture he exhibited a diamond, . . purporting to have been made in his first . . experiment in Sacramento, Opp Frttows’ Hatu.—The new Odd Fellows’ Hall at Maryaville is nearly ecom. . pleted, and will be formally dedicated on . . the 26th of April next. The Express says . . it isa very beautiful room, spacious and . elegant, furnished aecording to the usages ‘of the Order. From the center of the ceil. . ing is suspended a magnificent ebandalier, . ‘containing twenty-five burners, It is of . the most superb pattern aod presents a very re Tich and beautiful appearance, the burners . 000 bushels. , being arranged somewhat in the form of a } pyramid. Gorne East.—Geo. H. Crossette, editor . of the Batte Record, with bis family, intends leaving for the Atlantic States, by the steamer of March 21st, to be absent . three or four mouths. T. Starr King at the Big Trees. The following is an extract from a letter of T. Starr Kiog to the Boston Transcript : The afternoon hours we passed in the Mariposa grove were strangely short, One needs a long summer day for the proper study even of a dozen of the chief Senators in the group, What isan afternoon among six hundred? I jay for half an hour alone at the root of the mest collosral bole—my companions out of sight and hearing—and watched the golden sunshine mounting the amber trunk, and at last leaving a bandred feet of it in shadow to flood its mighty boughs and locks with tender lustre, What silence aud what mystery! How many centuries of summers has such evening splendor burnished thas the summit of the completed shaft? How long since the qnickening sunbeam fell upon the fitst spear of green in which the prophecy of the superb obelisk was enfolded? Why cannot the dul! columo now be confidential? There comes a breath of wind, cooled by. the snow on higher swells of the Sierras. which can be seen from the western edge of the grove;-— why will not the old patriarch take advantage of that ripple through his leaves and whisper to me his age? Are you as old as Noah? Do you span the centuries as far as Moses? ©an you remember the time of Solomon? ere you planted before the seed of Rome took root in Italy? At any rate, tell me whether or not your birth belongs to the Christian centuries ; whether we must write “B,0.” or “A. D.” against your infancy. I promised the stalwart greybeard that I would tell nobody, or at most only the Transeript, if he would just drop into my ear the hour of his nativity, Perhaps he would have told me, if my party had not returned to disturb the conditions of a communication. Possibly he would have said that his memory was treacherous, and that I must ask the ‘scientifle men. [ have asked them and they differ. One calculation led Mr. Greeley to believe that the oldest of these trees were of substantial size when David danced before the Ark. when Thesus ruled in Athens, when Advens fled from the burning wreck of Troy. In an English Journal they were estimated by a distinguished botanist at three thousand years. Dr. Bigelow, by counting the rings in @ section of the trank of one of the largest, which had been felled, and computing from that, redaced these pretentions materially. He made it about 1900 years old,— a tender contemporary of Cicero and Julius Cesar. But since then, a merciless savan, Dr, Torrey, the botanist, declares that he has counted every ring on the tree that was cut down, and his figures have felled a vast pile of our poetry, Why must there be scientific men, who delight in bothering theologians, and in erecting their chevanz cle Jrise in the path of all galloping romance? He makes our tree about 1,100 years old. If this calculation be trastworthy, the colulmo at whose root I sat took its first druught of sunshine in the time of Charlemagne, IJtis three handred years older thao the Norman Conquest and the great Hildebrand, It was a giant io the time of the first Crusade, And it antedates the foundation stone of the oldest Gothie spire of Europe. A genial evening of life to the Methuselahs of the wilderness, who were babies of a century a thousand years ago. ; Romors are still prevalent in Washington, that a secret organized mob contemplates rushing into the House of Representatives on the day set apart by the Constitution to count the votes for President, with the intention of destroying the legal returns, . 80 that Lincoln cannot lawfully be declared President elect. Such a report at any other time than this, wonld be looked upon as the vilest trash, but unlikely as such a proceeding as thisis to happen, ations have been made to meet it po gg cet ae Patriotic Finemen,—The New York firemen are for the Union, the whole Union. and nothing but the Union, and through ther organs have informed Lient, Gen, Winfield Scott, and, through him, the President of the United States, that, ifany attack is made upon the seat of government, thirtythree continuous strokes on the fire-alarm bells will sammon to their aid a body of two thousand well armed, brave, and patriotic firemen, willing to shed their last drop of blood in defence of the Union. eh acaeirereriiinsennctiianainiiniliaii Tuis is the record of Milwaukie during 1860: Reeeipta for the year, 10,275,000 bushels, exceeding those of 1859 by 3,636,The shipments of wheat were 6,274,000 bushels, against 4,175,000 in 1858 It is estimated that the export-of wheat from the erop of 1860 will 8,000,ee0 Wk m3 will reach 18,000, Tux names of all the members of the House of Representatives from the seceding States continue to be called when voting.

At the} Aevada Democrat. ators 00 Chastaete, A correspondent of the South Carolinian writes from Charleston, uader date of Janaary 29th: Active preparations are in to take the fort held by Major pte wei and it will be done when the proper time comes, Delay in deference to the earnest request of other seccding States seems to be the reason why itis not immediately bombarded. Much excitement has existed, and sti)l prevails, at the postponement of action ; bat the authorities seem to think that something is due to those who are to share with us the toils of war, and that we should await the union of the seceded States into a Southern Confederacy before we commeuce actual hostilities, The spirit of our people, however, is chafing. and if the news comes that a collision bas occurred at Fort Pickens, the Governor will fiod it difficult to control the ardor of our volunteers, Itis stated today, authoritatively, that the Brooklyn bas gone to Peneacola with troops, 80 we may expect shertly to bear of an effort to land them. Major Chase,in command of the Florida military forces, is au accomplished officer and a very determined man, and will take care that the Republic suffers no detriment, The following is from a Charleston letter in the New York Times : An old planter, who was strongly opposed to tbe nallification fever in 1832, has started a subscription book, which ie receiving many signatures, each one pledging . himself to devote one-sixth of his income this year to the State, payable in three ia. stallments, It is calculated that the repubhie will gain one million dollars by this voluntary movement on the part of the mon. eyed classes, The volunteers now in service, and taken of their own free will from the luxuries at . home, serve the republic for twelve months, They are allowed $120 and rations, but they consider it a point of honor not to ask aoythiog. Their diet consiste of salt pork, . hominy, bacon, riee, coffee, served from tin cups and treochers, The reveille beats at 6 o’clock, and they are kept hard at work all day, building forte, rolling balls, ete.—no child’s play for delicate youths. Many of them I understand, are suffering from di. Seases incident to exposure, although the . ladies of Charleston are profuse in their donations to husbands, brothers and lovers, Tue Minirary Tax.—In speaking of the . military bill now before the Legislature, . the Sacramento Bee thas refers to the sectien levying a tax of three dollarsa year . on every person liable to military duty : That is enormous, considering the fact that the past and present military tax was and is but fifty ceuts per head, Here is an increase of five hundred per cent. at a single jump! Supposing that there are in the State eighty-five thousand persons subject to this tax—and taking the vote of the State at 120,000, there will, we think, be that mapy—the revenue for military purposes will amount to $255,000 per annum, . The tax is too heavy. There isno occasion to burden the people thus, and all for the mere gratification of military men, If the} present tax be not sufficient, let it be ad. vanced fifty per cent. or eo ; but to make it . anything like the amount this bill proposes, Lectrurgs oN Diamonp Makino.—Dr. I. N. . Underwood, of Sacramento, lectured at . Petaluma on the 20th inst., upon the theory of his famous diamond making experiment. The Journal says: He had a large andience, drawn together doubtless by curiosity. He displayed considerable research in electrical science, and . should he fail in producing a “diamoud of . the first water,” be will not in making} close of his leeture he exhibited a diamond, . . purporting to have been made in his first . . experiment in Sacramento, Opp Frttows’ Hatu.—The new Odd Fellows’ Hall at Maryaville is nearly ecom. . pleted, and will be formally dedicated on . . the 26th of April next.

Starr King at the Big Trees. The following is an extract from a letter of T. Starr Kiog to the Boston Transcript : The afternoon hours we passed in the Mariposa grove were strangely short, One needs a long summer day for the proper study even of a dozen of the chief Senators in the group, What isan afternoon among six hundred? I jay for half an hour alone at the root of the mest collosral bole—my companions out of sight and hearing—and watched the golden sunshine mounting the amber trunk, and at last leaving a bandred feet of it in shadow to flood its mighty boughs and locks with tender lustre, What silence aud what mystery! How many centuries of summers has such evening splendor burnished thas the summit of the completed shaft? How long since the qnickening sunbeam fell upon the fitst spear of green in which the prophecy of the superb obelisk was enfolded? Why cannot the dul! columo now be confidential? There comes a breath of wind, cooled by. the snow on higher swells of the Sierras. which can be seen from the western edge of the grove;-— why will not the old patriarch take advantage of that ripple through his leaves and whisper to me his age? Are you as old as Noah? Do you span the centuries as far as Moses? ©an you remember the time of Solomon? ere you planted before the seed of Rome took root in Italy? At any rate, tell me whether or not your birth belongs to the Christian centuries ; whether we must write “B,0.” or “A. D.” against your infancy. I promised the stalwart greybeard that I would tell nobody, or at most only the Transeript, if he would just drop into my ear the hour of his nativity, Perhaps he would have told me, if my party had not returned to disturb the conditions of a communication. Possibly he would have said that his memory was treacherous, and that I must ask the ‘scientifle men. [ have asked them and they differ. One calculation led Mr. Greeley to believe that the oldest of these trees were of substantial size when David danced before the Ark. when Thesus ruled in Athens, when Advens fled from the burning wreck of Troy. In an English Journal they were estimated by a distinguished botanist at three thousand years. Dr. Bigelow, by counting the rings in @ section of the trank of one of the largest, which had been felled, and computing from that, redaced these pretentions materially. He made it about 1900 years old,— a tender contemporary of Cicero and Julius Cesar. But since then, a merciless savan, Dr, Torrey, the botanist, declares that he has counted every ring on the tree that was cut down, and his figures have felled a vast pile of our poetry, Why must there be scientific men, who delight in bothering theologians, and in erecting their chevanz cle Jrise in the path of all galloping romance? He makes our tree about 1,100 years old. If this calculation be trastworthy, the colulmo at whose root I sat took its first druught of sunshine in the time of Charlemagne, IJtis three handred years older thao the Norman Conquest and the great Hildebrand, It was a giant io the time of the first Crusade, And it antedates the foundation stone of the oldest Gothie spire of Europe. A genial evening of life to the Methuselahs of the wilderness, who were babies of a century a thousand years ago. ; Romors are still prevalent in Washington, that a secret organized mob contemplates rushing into the House of Representatives on the day set apart by the Constitution to count the votes for President, with the intention of destroying the legal returns, . 80 that Lincoln cannot lawfully be declared President elect. Such a report at any other time than this, wonld be looked upon as the vilest trash, but unlikely as such a proceeding as thisis to happen, ations have been made to meet it po gg cet ae Patriotic Finemen,—The New York firemen are for the Union, the whole Union. and nothing but the Union, and through ther organs have informed Lient, Gen, Winfield Scott, and, through him, the President of the United States, that, ifany attack is made upon the seat of government, thirtythree continuous strokes on the fire-alarm bells will sammon to their aid a body of two thousand well armed, brave, and patriotic firemen, willing to shed their last drop of blood in defence of the Union. eh acaeirereriiinsennctiianainiiniliaii Tuis is the record of Milwaukie during 1860: Reeeipta for the year, 10,275,000 bushels, exceeding those of 1859 by 3,636,The shipments of wheat were 6,274,000 bushels, against 4,175,000 in 1858 It is estimated that the export-of wheat from the erop of 1860 will 8,000,ee0 Wk m3 will reach 18,000, Tux names of all the members of the House of Representatives from the seceding States continue to be called when voting.
