them is a life-size head hw drys ae es poner
ick—prebably the most which has been made
of the late Senator. Side by side with these, hang a
series of moat wretched libels on the art contributed
by some one in Nevada. They serve, however, to
set off to better advantuge, the productions of more
skillful competitors.
As that paper don’t give the name of the artist who
send such pictures, it must be known, that A.
LIEBERT, the Photographic Artist of Broad street,
published in the papers of Nevada, that he was the
only one in this city who sent pictures to the State

Genera Woot on Tin Crisis.—General
John E. Wool, who ranks next to General
Scott, wrote not long since to General Cass
Secretary of State, saying:
South Carolina says she intends to leave
the Union. Her Representatives in Conwould seem that she is neither to be conciliated nor comforted. I command the Eastern Department, which includes South Oarolina, rgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. You know me well. I have ever
been 4 firm, decided, faithiul and devoted
friend of my country. If! can aid the President to pln hi the Union, I hope he will
command my services. It will never do for
him or you to leave Washington without
every star in the Union is io its place.
Therefore, no time should be lost in adopting measures to defeat those who are condelay may be no less fatal to the Union,
than to the President, or your owa high
standing asa statesman.
A se tion of the States will bring with
it the desolation of the cotton States, which
are unprepared for war. Their weakpess
will be found in the number of their slaves
with but few of the essentials to carry on
war, whilst the Free States have all the elements and materials for war, and to a greater extent than any other people on the face
of the globe.
Think of these things, my dear General,
and save the country, and save the prosperous South from pestilence; famine and desolation, Peaceable secession is not to be
thought of. Even if it thonld take place in
three months we would have a bloody war
on our hands,
Quartz Discovery In Burre,—Thbree men
by the name of Young. Blake and La Rossney, have discovered a quartz vein near
Bloomer Hill, on the east side of the North
Fork of Feather River, about fifteen miles
from Oroville, which is supposed to be immensely rich, Having taken up a ravine
claim in the neighberhood, they eut o small
ditch, some two weeks since, around the
point of a bill for the purpose of leading
water toit, On the morning after its completion, one of the parties, while examining
it found several pieces of gold on the embankment, which led to the discovery that
the dirt thrown out at one point was extraordinarily rich. He commenced “pannin
out,’’ and by noon had about a thoosand
dollare. It appears that in digging the
ditch, they had eut through a vein of decayed aang which, thus far, has yielded
marvellonsly. Although only a very small
amount of dirt and rock bave been taken
out, we§ understand that the proprictors
have realized something like twenty thousand dollare worth of gold. Should the
vein continue as rich as it has proved thus
far, the Bloomer Lead wil! be the richest
ever yet discovered in the State. We are
pleased to learn that it has fallen into the
hands of industrious but hitherto poor men,
who have been unfortunate in their river
mining operations.—(Butte Democrat.
How tue Sovran Aravrs.—A correspondent writes from Augusta, Ga., to the New
York Herald:
The people here are becoming rapid!
impressed with the idea that itis to their
interest, aside from the slavery question, to
establish an independent government. They
argue that the South pays, through the Ma
eration of the tariff, $60,000,000 annually
for the support of the Government, while
the North pays but $20,000,000. Of the
amount thus paid the South receives in return but $20,000,000, while the remainder
is expended at the North. In other words,
the South loses yearly by remaining ‘in the
Unien the ernormous sum of $30,000,000.
While, thea, “irrepressible”? Cuffee is the
foundation of the secession movement, a
class is rapidly forming who believe that after the first throes of revolution are over,
. the South will advance rapidly in wealth
and population, and in a short time rival if
not outstrip the present Lng 9 (perhaps
I ought even now to speak of it in the past
tense) of the North. All this, however, is
bat ulation, No man, however eminent
his abilities, can ‘certainly forsee all the results of the destruction of this confederacy.
And unfortunately those results that can
be clearly forseen are all evil. Itis plain
enough that each fragment (supposing the
Union splits into two only) must descend
to a position of a fourth rate power.

‘The Summer Palace of the Emperor of
China, me
The Shanghai (China) correspondent of
the Bulletin, telling of the fine plunder and
excellent booty which the allies, bat mainly
the Freneh, met with in China, eays:
“The plunder at the Summer Palace has
been almost without parallel ian modern hietory. Oould everything have been removed, "eed _ ee ne —_ _—
udge owin on,
which dean om oy
ace (summer residence), which covers as
much ground as the whole city of PeRin
itself, had stores, where, for ages, valuable
stones, pearls, la islagall, and many Euroti)
Phe rooms alone have been, estima
to contain stuffs valoed at $50,000,000.
The jewels, watches, China ware, .
laing, ete., etc., were countless, Silk”
so abundant that seats and carts were covered with it, It was trampled over liko
gravel. Soldiers used it to tie bundles, and
r harness to horses and wules. The
burning of everything lasted six days, and
every store was destroyed: nota particle
is left but cinders and ashes, The parks,
gardens, and lakes, that had created such a
general admiration, are no more, No pen
cao give an idea of the artificial labor
which had made this Palace one of the wonders of the world, and perbaps the greatest
in China. No estimation can be made of
the real value of the buildings and gardens
—the work of ages; but the movable goods
bave been estimated, as I have said, at
about two hundred millions of dollars, The
throne, which could not be removed, was a
wonder of richness, The heavy and boaautiful bronze vases te some 100 tons.
The scalptures (marble). were of the greatest and finest taste, I have heard so many
descriptions from various and authentic
sources, whichall agree, that I cannot
doubt the trath. The highest officers in the
army, whom I know all well—above all,
the staff and the aids-de-camp—have all the
same i about the Yuen-ming-Yueo,
which the Emperor had the fatal idea to
abandon. If he ha@ signed the treaty at
Tientsin, he would have spared many, many millions—and his honor also.’’
Secession Tut Doom or Stavery.—Andrew Johnson, of Tenfessee, in his late
speech in the U. 8. Senate, said:
There are many ideas afloat about this
threatened dissolution, and ft is time to
speak out, The question arises in reference
to the protection and preservation of the institution of slavery—whether dissolution is
a remedy or will give toit protection. I
avow here to-day that if I were an abolitionist, and wanted to accomplish the overthrow
and abolition of the institution of slavery
in the Southern States, the first step that I
would take would be to break the bonds of
this Union and dissolve this governmet. I
believe the continuance of slavery depends
upon the preservation of this Union and a
compliance with all the guaranties of the
Constitution. I believe an interference with
it will break up the Union ; and I believe a
dissolution of the Union will, in the end—
though it may be some to come—overthrow the institution of slavery. Hence
we find so many in the North who desire
a dissolution of these States as the most certain and direct and effectual means of overthrowing the institution of slavery, .
What protection would it be to us to dissolve this Union? What protection would
it be to us to convert this nation into two
hostile rere the one warring with the
other? Whose property is at stake? Whose
interest is endangered? Is it not the property of the border States? Suppose Canada were moved down upon our border,.and
the two separated sections, then different
nations, were hostile; what would the institation of slavery be worth on.the border ?
Every man who bas common sense will see
that the institution would take ap its march
and retreat, as certainly and as unerringly
as general laws can operate. Yer, it would
commence to retreat the very moment this
government was converted into hostile powers, and you made the line between the
slaveholding and non-elaveholding States
the line of division.
FLoripa anp MississiprP1 Bonpvs,—Before
Florida entered the Union she issuei a million or two of dollars of bonds, which were
taken by English bankers. They were never paid, nor was payment of them ever assumed by the General Government. A commission was appointed to examine the matter a few yeare since, which sat in London,
but finally concluded that nothing could be
done for the creditors, as Florida, while a
member of the Union, could not be coerced
to pay. But if Florida goés out and becomes an independent nation, the bondholders will probably ask the British Govert.ment to compel payment of these claims
by armed force. has a similar
prospect before her in regard to her repudiated bends. Uereare two Wars laid out
