ReMOvAL o¥ THE Caprrat To San FRrancisco.— It would appear that the citizens of San Francisco are seriously at work to induce the Legislatures to remove the State Capital to that city. Over five hundred and fifty of the principal property owners of the Bay city have petitioned the Board of Supervisors to appropriate $150,000 for the erectionfof a State House, and the donation of a public square to the State for Capital ground. The list of petitioners embraces a large majority of the leading mercantile firms. San Francisco bas never heretofore put forth its claims for the State Capital, but Her citizens appear to be making a vigorous effort now. A Fauare Incenpiary.—aA notorious woman named Mary Andrews, attempted to fire a dwelling at San Francisco, on Monday evening, January 30th, She took some light cotton articles, and, setting them on fire, threw them into a narrow alley, between two houses; and but for their timely discovery a disastrous conflagration would have followed, all the houses in the neighborhood being of the most inflamable material. She was arrested and locked up, as a matter of course. Her offense being one of the gravest known to the law, she will, doubtless, have ample opportunity to reflect on the folly of such conduct, Howrcipg.—A man named Jonathan R. Guthrie was shot on the evening of January 27th, near Clarksville, El Dorado county, and died from the effect of the wound. A Coroner’s jury returned a verdict that Thos, G, Singletom was suepected of doing the shooting. Singleton escaped, and has not yet been taken. Deceased was a native of Ohio. Fituine ur.—A dispatch from San Francisco, says that the filling in at the junction of California, Market and Drum streets, has created a mud bank off Clay street wharf to such an extent that the water has shoalcd there two feet within the past fifteen days. Another bank of like dimensions has been formed a little north of Vallejo street, from filling done at Pacific street. Serriep.—The contested election case of Gallagher vs. Tilton, fora seatin the Assembly, was decided on Tuesday of !ast week, in favor of Tilton, the sitting member, The Assembly refused to allow Gallagher per diem and mileage, as he had no ground whatever to contest the election. Accipent at Srockton.—A lad named James Ivorg accidentally shot himself, at Stockton, on Monday, January 30th, while handling a pistol. The ball took effect under the right jaw, inflicting a serious wound, though it was thought he would recover. Tug remains ef Mr. Nation, the first engineer of the ill-fated steamer Northerner, have been removed to San Francisco, by the Masonic Fraternity of thatcity. The body was brought down on tho steamer Columbia, and buried with Masonic honors last Wednesday. RatLnoapd ScrveyY To PLaceRvILLE.—The Common Council of Placerville have entered into o contraet with Wm. J. Lewis to survey a railroud route from Folsom to Placerville. eitizens of the town have voted to appropriate $3,000 for the survey. Smart Pox.—The Shasta Courier anys that several cases of small pox have recently been treated in that county. It was brought into the county by a lady lately arrived from tho East via Panama, and who loeated at Buckeye. A second case in Shasta is now being treated. Tun Legislature of Washington Territory has settled the dispute between our Government and that of Great Britain, by passing o series of resolutions deolaring San Juan Island to belong to the United States, QuicksiLver.—Extensive veins of cinnabar, or quicksilver ore, are reported to have lately been discovered in Napa and Sonoma counties, Tue Deap or 1859.—The year just passed away has been remarkable for the number of distinguished men who, in ita course, have ceased their earthly labors. All countries and avoeations have contributed to swell the list of the departed. That prince of modern scholars, the illustrious Humboldt, has been followed into the realms of infinite light by such congenial, though humbler students, as Professor Olmstead, Dr. Abbott, and Horaee Mann. History loses the immortal names of Hallam, Prescott and Irving—the last being also an irreparable loss to general literature, which has likewise been deprived of DeQuiucey, Leigh Hunt, Robert Walsh and Lady Morgan. From political life Richard Rush and Senator Broderick. The law loses Rufus Choate and Counsellor Phillips. The modern science of engineering loses two of its brightest ornaments in Robert Stephenson and I. K. Brunel. Among the others whore departure is felt by the public may be mentioned Dr. Nichols and Dr. Kendall, divines ; Joseph Sturge and Sir Jamsetee Jegjecbhoy, philanthropists; T. K. Hervey, poet; Madam Bosio, singer; and Charles Leslie, painter. Wasnor.—The Territorial Enterprise, of January 28th, says: We hear every day, from gentlemen who have been on the “other side of the Jordan,” of the intended rush in the Spring to this “the promised land.”” We have only to say to all, who intend to come, that this isa very poor country for a man who is “constitutionally tired;’’? our present population principally cousists of men who are ready and willing to brave the hardships of a frontier life. and who have ambition and energy enough to push abead. To such as these. we extend a eordial invitation, but the broken-down backs of polities and loaferism, who infest every town in California, will find this “a hard road to travel,” and we advise them to remain where they are, or elee they mast come prepared to perform feat we once heard one of them say, he never would be foolish enongh to undertake, “work.” Tur Great Race.—An illiterate correspond. ent, who is given to sporting, wante to know whea the “Anglo-Saxon race,” eo much talked about, is te come off? . against the construction of the read. The . GREELY ON THE RAILROAD, Horace Greely, in a late number of the 7ribune, presents some very practical views in regard to the construction of a railroad connecting the navigable waters of the Mississippi and the Pacific. He speaks of the advantages and disadvantages of the three routes—the northern, central and southern—but expresses no decided preferenee for either. He thinks the question of the route should be left entirely with the company undertaking to build it. Io relation to the ways and means for eonsiracting the road, he says: But supposing the cost ofa Pacific Railroad to be $150,000,000, or even $100,000,000, how is so Jarge an amount to be proeured ? We answer—not wholly by individual subscription or voluntarily associated enterprise. The amount is teo vast ; the enterprise too formidable ; the returns too remote and uncertain, In the present depression of railroad perty and interests, an attempt to raisé such a sum for any euch purpose would be madness. One railroad to the Pacific would probably pay ; but what assurance could an association of private citizens have that, having devoted their means and energies to the construction of such a road, it would not be rivaled and value half destroyed by a similar work on some other route? No Hundred Millions cau be obtained for such an undertaking without assurance of Government aid. But neither will it answer te commit the Government unqualifiedly to the construetion of such a work, Its cost, in the hands of Federal functionaries, would be incaleulable ; it would be an infinite source of jobbing and partisan corruption ; it would never be finished ; and its net revenues would amount to nothing. And then the question of location—the conflict of rival inteeests—would alone suffice to prevent the censtruction of the work by the Federal Government. But let that Government simply resolve that the Pacific Road shall be built—let Congress enact that sealed proposals for its construction shall be invited, and that whichever responsible company or corporation shall offer an adequate security for that construction, to be completed within ten years, on the lowest terms, shall have public aid, provided the amount required do not exceed Fifty Millions of Dollars, and the work will be done, certainly for Fifty Millions bonus, probably for much less, The Government on its part should concede to the company amile in width, aceording to the section lines, ef the Public Lands on either side of the road as built, with the right to take timber, stone and earth from any public lands without charge ; and should require it, eaid company that it carry a daily through mail each way at the price paid other roads for conveying the mails on first class routes; and should moreover stipulate for the conveyance at all times /of soldiers, arms, munitions, provisions, &c., for public service, at the lowest rates, witha right to the exclusive possession and use ef the road whenever a National exigency shall seem to require it. The Government should leave the choice of route entirely to the company, ou stipulating that that it shall connect the navigable waters of the Mississippi with those of the Pacific Ocean, and that it shall be constructed wholly through our own territory. Payment of the National bonus to be made, say one-twentieth so soon as one-tenth of the road shall have been finished and approved, and at this rate until] one-third of the road shall bave been built, when the remainder of one-fourth of the bonus sball be paid; when half the road shall have been built, the payment of bonus shall be increased to one-third ; when the work is threefourths done, what remains of five cighths of the bonus shall be paid ; and when the work is done and accepted all that remains unpaid of the bonus shall be handed over to those who will have 80 nobly earned it. By adopting this plan, the rivalries of routes will be made to work for instead of working Strenuous efforts will be made by the friends of each to put themselves in position to bid low enough to secure the location ; and the lowest rate at which the work can safely be undertaken will unquestionably be bid. The road will be the property of the company constructing it, subject only tothe rights of use stipulated and paid for by the Government. Enananp Ercary Years Stnew.—Leisure is gone-——gone where the spinning wheels are gone, and the pack-horses, and the slow-wagons and the pediars who brought bargains to the doors on sunny afternoons. Ingenious philosophers tell you, perhaps, that the grea§ work of the steam engine is to create leisure for mankind. Do not believe them; it only creates a vacuum for eager thought to rushin. KHven idleness is eager now-——eager for amusement, prone to excursion trains, art museums, periodicals, Jiteratare, and exeiting novels; prone to scientific theorizing and oursory peeps through microscopes. Old Leisure was quite a different personage ; he only read one newspaper innoecnt of leaders, and was free from the periodioity of sensations which we call past-time. He was a contemplative, rather stout old gentleman, of excellent digestion; of qaiet pereeptions , undiseased by bypothesis ; happy in his inability to knowthe causes of things, prefering have departed Prince Metternich, . . eonseience, broad-backed, like himself, and able . the things themselves. He lived ehiefly in the country, among the pleasant seats and homesteads, and was fond of saunvering by the fruit tree walls, and scenting the apricots when they were warmed by the morning sunshine, or sheltering himself ander the orchard boughs at noon, when the summer pears were falling. He knew nothing of weekday services, and thought none the worse of the sermon if it allowed him to sleep from the text to the blessing ; liking the afternoon serviee best beeause the prayers were the shortest, and not ashamed to gay so, for he had an easy, jolly to carry & great deal of beer and port wine, not being made squeamish by doubts, and qualms, and lofty aspirations. Life was nota task to him, but a siuecure ; he fingered the guineas in his pocket, and ate his dinners, and slept the sleep of the irresponsible—for has he rot kept up his character by going to church on Sunday afternoons? Fine old Leisure! Do not bese. vere upon him, and jadge him by our modern standard. He never wentto Exeter Hall, or heard a popular preacher, or read tracts for the times, or Sartor Resartus.—Adam Bede. “Vatican.’’—Many who see this word may not understand its import. It isa pile of buildings covering a space of 1,200 feet in length and 1,000 in breadth on one of the seven hills in Rome, The site was onee the garden of the . barbarous Nero. Early inthe sixth century the Bishop of Rome erected there an humble dwelling. This bas been added to by one Pope after another, until itis now one ef the most spacious and magnificent palaces, stocked with paintings, statues, books and antiquities of the rarest kind. How to Acquis Vigor or Sryie.—aA reverend critic told « Jiterary friend that his style wanted that vigor which might be acquired b running the pen through every otber wor The editor of the Christian Enquirer expressed . the same thonght in this form: ‘We do not remember reading a book, sermon or poem for . ten years, that would not have been materially improved by cutting out half the nouns, three . quarters of the adjectives, and all the adverbs.” Be BR Pte ar 9 Whe 9 BR en lo Dea easel SaaS SEAT Ae sti Mee id ee ec AR: ARETE Dt ENE ION HE EAE cn OR el ee eee en a —_——————— eee eee a TT = Cumatic Cxanors.—That ao of different countries change as emigration flows in or recedes, and as the great worker, Nature, wills it, is a genecoat on eaiblan i ong or more defi spe: \ grea’ ux na tae not appears to have its effect upon the climate, but forms a kind of panacea for many of the maladies indigenous to o Naioslbaipnt Vale is this fact observable in the hte A many an old pioneer in the western coun tell you in sorrowful tones of the ravages of fevers and of the — yout chen. fusg: wiht opidanen eiectnabe year year western appearance at a particular season, and carried away the vietims who were easily numbered in a iy settled country, You will learn that the fed pose sy to an uaeeete land gration came To-day, in man; sota, be found prosperous on vill t once were the centers death.

Much of the weather in this high region, this winter, would serve to remind one of the winter ays he spent in a colder clime than we would wish to find this side of the Pacitie. There is, of course, a reason, besides the one mentioned in the first part of this article, for these climatic changes—one not befogged and mistefied with the twaddle of too much erudition—and we would like to obtain it.—AMountain Messenger, Macutnr ron Savine Fine Goip.—Mr, W, F. Truel, of Marysville, has invented a machine for saving fine gold, which is thus described by the Express; It consists of a frame, say four feet long, about the same in hight, and three feet wide. On the top of this frame is placed a rffle, slanting sufficiently for the gravel to pass off, and on this riffle rests the sluice box, which may be adjusted aecording to the quantity of water used. The surface of the riffle is straight, with apertures extending entirely across three-eights of an inch apart. The water small gravel, gold, &e., pass through this open riflle, and then reverses its direction, passing over a pan or reservoir, and thence over an overshot wheel to the jeoen, The pan is about four inches deep. Over this pan is suspended a rake, having several rows of teeth, so arranged as to keep the entire deposit in the pan continually stirred up. The water passing over the wheel sets it in motion, and the wheel bein connected with the rake, causes it to. move back an forth over the pan. ‘The 24 le is exceedingly simple. The water, dirt and gravel pass through the riffle, whilst the larger gravel passes over the tail to the ground, After passing through the ryfile the water changes its direction and passes into the pan, with the sand and gold, The teeth of the rake form an eddy whereby the gold will have an opportunity to sink to the bottom, while, by the action of the teeth, the dirt is kept stired up sufficiently to pass off with the water. The great feature of the machine is that it may be run with very little water. Mr. Truell has obtained a caveat for his invention, and is about applying for a patent. Ont Morn Unrorrunatre—On the 26th of December, says the Arizonian, during the recent explorations of Col. Gray, to the Gila river, the re~ mains of some unknown traveler were discovered near a spring, called the ‘Ajo Verde.” ‘Two brown blankets, somewhat used, were lying on the ground near the spring, one haying a bullet hole through it, and considerable clotted thlood was on a part of the other. A clean hickory shirt rested on a bush a few ger off, and a small brown clay pipe with a turkey bone stem, was picked up near by. A few feet from the spring was a pile of sticks and the ashes of a fire apparently made only a few days before, Several of the bones were lying about, but almost the entire body had been made way with by the wolves. The hair of the unfortunate person was entangled on a bush, where the body must have lainj near the fire, when first diecaventl by the cayotes, From an ex~ amination of his hair and pipe, by a gentleman from Fort Yuma, the unfortunate man is supposed to be a Texan, by the name of Shays, on his way to hig native State from California, He had with him about four hundred and fifty dollars upon reaching the fort, and was doubtless murdered by some oneto whom he had inoautiously shown it. A Mevancno.y Deatu.—The Mountain Democrat says that an inquest was held on January 16th, at Wild Cat Bar, on the middle fork of the American river, by Coroner Todd, on the body of Major Wm. Gunn, whose death was caused by excessive indulence in ardent spirits, The editor says he knew 2 Gunn long and intimately; and when not under the influence of liquor, ever found him an amiable and elegant gentleman. He was intelligent, educated, strictly . everers affable in his manner, and steadfast in friendship. He had many virtues —one vice, which ruined him, Homicipz.—A correspondent writing the San Joaquin Republican, from Knight's Ferry, on 29th January, says: Yesterday Mr, Wiltingham shot a man by the name of Bob Brass. The difficulty oceurred at Camp's on the Stockton road. Brass died last night at half-past 10 o’clock. Wiltingham fled, and as yet has not been arrested. InpIaN Revics.—The Shasta Herald says a remarkable specimen of Indian ingenuity is now at Dr. Shutleff’s drug store in that pt te is a stone mortar and pestle, sluiced out of the ground, at a depth of ten feet, by some Chinamen on Cottonwood, It is as neat and perfect a piece of workmanship as if it had been’ cast in a mould, and is superior to any — belonging to any of the Indians of the present day, Fartruavakes tn SAN FRANCIsco Nn 1808.— The XIXth volume of the provincial State papers, in the Archives of California, in the Surveyor General’s office, shows that eighteen shocks of earthquake were felt at the Presidia of San Francisco, between the 2lstof June, 1808, and the 17th of July of the same year—a period of 26 days. Rexics oy raz Norruerner.—The Humboldt Times people have three memorandum books, which were ned from the wreck of the Northerner, the property of one John A. Wheeler. They are accompanied by two miniatures—a young lady and gentleman. They could not be recognized by any of the surviving officers or passengers. Santa Cruz Sirver Mines.—There are now lying at our wharf, says the Santa Cruz Sentinel, ready for shipment to San Francisco, two tons of silver ore, from the newly discovered silver mine of Captain Graham, some six or eight miles from this place. The ore will soon be tested, and its true value known. Tur “Messenoer Brnp.”—This ship, with which and ker cargo, the eaptain ran away and is cruisin among the islands of the Pacific, has been hear from at the Fejee Islands, where she put in ostensibly for water and provisions, reporting a six days’ passage from New Jealand. Insanz.—A demented United States soldier is wandering about San Francisco with a certificate that he was deranged when discharged from a military post in Oregon. Uucle Sam should take care of his soldiers, and not turn them out on the wide world in this way. Fatat Mintne Acctpent.—Isaac S.

ReMOvAL o¥ THE Caprrat To San FRrancisco.— It would appear that the citizens of San Francisco are seriously at work to induce the Legislatures to remove the State Capital to that city. Over five hundred and fifty of the principal property owners of the Bay city have petitioned the Board of Supervisors to appropriate $150,000 for the erectionfof a State House, and the donation of a public square to the State for Capital ground. The list of petitioners embraces a large majority of the leading mercantile firms. San Francisco bas never heretofore put forth its claims for the State Capital, but Her citizens appear to be making a vigorous effort now. A Fauare Incenpiary.—aA notorious woman named Mary Andrews, attempted to fire a dwelling at San Francisco, on Monday evening, January 30th, She took some light cotton articles, and, setting them on fire, threw them into a narrow alley, between two houses; and but for their timely discovery a disastrous conflagration would have followed, all the houses in the neighborhood being of the most inflamable material. She was arrested and locked up, as a matter of course. Her offense being one of the gravest known to the law, she will, doubtless, have ample opportunity to reflect on the folly of such conduct, Howrcipg.—A man named Jonathan R. Guthrie was shot on the evening of January 27th, near Clarksville, El Dorado county, and died from the effect of the wound. A Coroner’s jury returned a verdict that Thos, G, Singletom was suepected of doing the shooting. Singleton escaped, and has not yet been taken. Deceased was a native of Ohio. Fituine ur.—A dispatch from San Francisco, says that the filling in at the junction of California, Market and Drum streets, has created a mud bank off Clay street wharf to such an extent that the water has shoalcd there two feet within the past fifteen days. Another bank of like dimensions has been formed a little north of Vallejo street, from filling done at Pacific street. Serriep.—The contested election case of Gallagher vs. Tilton, fora seatin the Assembly, was decided on Tuesday of !ast week, in favor of Tilton, the sitting member, The Assembly refused to allow Gallagher per diem and mileage, as he had no ground whatever to contest the election. Accipent at Srockton.—A lad named James Ivorg accidentally shot himself, at Stockton, on Monday, January 30th, while handling a pistol. The ball took effect under the right jaw, inflicting a serious wound, though it was thought he would recover. Tug remains ef Mr. Nation, the first engineer of the ill-fated steamer Northerner, have been removed to San Francisco, by the Masonic Fraternity of thatcity. The body was brought down on tho steamer Columbia, and buried with Masonic honors last Wednesday. RatLnoapd ScrveyY To PLaceRvILLE.—The Common Council of Placerville have entered into o contraet with Wm. J. Lewis to survey a railroud route from Folsom to Placerville. eitizens of the town have voted to appropriate $3,000 for the survey. Smart Pox.—The Shasta Courier anys that several cases of small pox have recently been treated in that county. It was brought into the county by a lady lately arrived from tho East via Panama, and who loeated at Buckeye. A second case in Shasta is now being treated. Tun Legislature of Washington Territory has settled the dispute between our Government and that of Great Britain, by passing o series of resolutions deolaring San Juan Island to belong to the United States, QuicksiLver.—Extensive veins of cinnabar, or quicksilver ore, are reported to have lately been discovered in Napa and Sonoma counties, Tue Deap or 1859.—The year just passed away has been remarkable for the number of distinguished men who, in ita course, have ceased their earthly labors. All countries and avoeations have contributed to swell the list of the departed. That prince of modern scholars, the illustrious Humboldt, has been followed into the realms of infinite light by such congenial, though humbler students, as Professor Olmstead, Dr. Abbott, and Horaee Mann. History loses the immortal names of Hallam, Prescott and Irving—the last being also an irreparable loss to general literature, which has likewise been deprived of DeQuiucey, Leigh Hunt, Robert Walsh and Lady Morgan. From political life Richard Rush and Senator Broderick. The law loses Rufus Choate and Counsellor Phillips. The modern science of engineering loses two of its brightest ornaments in Robert Stephenson and I. K. Brunel. Among the others whore departure is felt by the public may be mentioned Dr. Nichols and Dr. Kendall, divines ; Joseph Sturge and Sir Jamsetee Jegjecbhoy, philanthropists; T. K.

Wasnor.—The Territorial Enterprise, of January 28th, says: We hear every day, from gentlemen who have been on the “other side of the Jordan,” of the intended rush in the Spring to this “the promised land.”” We have only to say to all, who intend to come, that this isa very poor country for a man who is “constitutionally tired;’’? our present population principally cousists of men who are ready and willing to brave the hardships of a frontier life. and who have ambition and energy enough to push abead. To such as these. we extend a eordial invitation, but the broken-down backs of polities and loaferism, who infest every town in California, will find this “a hard road to travel,” and we advise them to remain where they are, or elee they mast come prepared to perform feat we once heard one of them say, he never would be foolish enongh to undertake, “work.” Tur Great Race.—An illiterate correspond. ent, who is given to sporting, wante to know whea the “Anglo-Saxon race,” eo much talked about, is te come off? . against the construction of the read. The . GREELY ON THE RAILROAD, Horace Greely, in a late number of the 7ribune, presents some very practical views in regard to the construction of a railroad connecting the navigable waters of the Mississippi and the Pacific. He speaks of the advantages and disadvantages of the three routes—the northern, central and southern—but expresses no decided preferenee for either. He thinks the question of the route should be left entirely with the company undertaking to build it. Io relation to the ways and means for eonsiracting the road, he says: But supposing the cost ofa Pacific Railroad to be $150,000,000, or even $100,000,000, how is so Jarge an amount to be proeured ? We answer—not wholly by individual subscription or voluntarily associated enterprise. The amount is teo vast ; the enterprise too formidable ; the returns too remote and uncertain, In the present depression of railroad perty and interests, an attempt to raisé such a sum for any euch purpose would be madness. One railroad to the Pacific would probably pay ; but what assurance could an association of private citizens have that, having devoted their means and energies to the construction of such a road, it would not be rivaled and value half destroyed by a similar work on some other route? No Hundred Millions cau be obtained for such an undertaking without assurance of Government aid. But neither will it answer te commit the Government unqualifiedly to the construetion of such a work, Its cost, in the hands of Federal functionaries, would be incaleulable ; it would be an infinite source of jobbing and partisan corruption ; it would never be finished ; and its net revenues would amount to nothing. And then the question of location—the conflict of rival inteeests—would alone suffice to prevent the censtruction of the work by the Federal Government. But let that Government simply resolve that the Pacific Road shall be built—let Congress enact that sealed proposals for its construction shall be invited, and that whichever responsible company or corporation shall offer an adequate security for that construction, to be completed within ten years, on the lowest terms, shall have public aid, provided the amount required do not exceed Fifty Millions of Dollars, and the work will be done, certainly for Fifty Millions bonus, probably for much less, The Government on its part should concede to the company amile in width, aceording to the section lines, ef the Public Lands on either side of the road as built, with the right to take timber, stone and earth from any public lands without charge ; and should require it, eaid company that it carry a daily through mail each way at the price paid other roads for conveying the mails on first class routes; and should moreover stipulate for the conveyance at all times /of soldiers, arms, munitions, provisions, &c., for public service, at the lowest rates, witha right to the exclusive possession and use ef the road whenever a National exigency shall seem to require it. The Government should leave the choice of route entirely to the company, ou stipulating that that it shall connect the navigable waters of the Mississippi with those of the Pacific Ocean, and that it shall be constructed wholly through our own territory. Payment of the National bonus to be made, say one-twentieth so soon as one-tenth of the road shall have been finished and approved, and at this rate until] one-third of the road shall bave been built, when the remainder of one-fourth of the bonus sball be paid; when half the road shall have been built, the payment of bonus shall be increased to one-third ; when the work is threefourths done, what remains of five cighths of the bonus shall be paid ; and when the work is done and accepted all that remains unpaid of the bonus shall be handed over to those who will have 80 nobly earned it. By adopting this plan, the rivalries of routes will be made to work for instead of working Strenuous efforts will be made by the friends of each to put themselves in position to bid low enough to secure the location ; and the lowest rate at which the work can safely be undertaken will unquestionably be bid. The road will be the property of the company constructing it, subject only tothe rights of use stipulated and paid for by the Government. Enananp Ercary Years Stnew.—Leisure is gone-——gone where the spinning wheels are gone, and the pack-horses, and the slow-wagons and the pediars who brought bargains to the doors on sunny afternoons. Ingenious philosophers tell you, perhaps, that the grea§ work of the steam engine is to create leisure for mankind. Do not believe them; it only creates a vacuum for eager thought to rushin. KHven idleness is eager now-——eager for amusement, prone to excursion trains, art museums, periodicals, Jiteratare, and exeiting novels; prone to scientific theorizing and oursory peeps through microscopes. Old Leisure was quite a different personage ; he only read one newspaper innoecnt of leaders, and was free from the periodioity of sensations which we call past-time. He was a contemplative, rather stout old gentleman, of excellent digestion; of qaiet pereeptions , undiseased by bypothesis ; happy in his inability to knowthe causes of things, prefering have departed Prince Metternich, . . eonseience, broad-backed, like himself, and able . the things themselves. He lived ehiefly in the country, among the pleasant seats and homesteads, and was fond of saunvering by the fruit tree walls, and scenting the apricots when they were warmed by the morning sunshine, or sheltering himself ander the orchard boughs at noon, when the summer pears were falling. He knew nothing of weekday services, and thought none the worse of the sermon if it allowed him to sleep from the text to the blessing ; liking the afternoon serviee best beeause the prayers were the shortest, and not ashamed to gay so, for he had an easy, jolly to carry & great deal of beer and port wine, not being made squeamish by doubts, and qualms, and lofty aspirations. Life was nota task to him, but a siuecure ; he fingered the guineas in his pocket, and ate his dinners, and slept the sleep of the irresponsible—for has he rot kept up his character by going to church on Sunday afternoons? Fine old Leisure! Do not bese. vere upon him, and jadge him by our modern standard. He never wentto Exeter Hall, or heard a popular preacher, or read tracts for the times, or Sartor Resartus.—Adam Bede. “Vatican.’’—Many who see this word may not understand its import. It isa pile of buildings covering a space of 1,200 feet in length and 1,000 in breadth on one of the seven hills in Rome, The site was onee the garden of the . barbarous Nero. Early inthe sixth century the Bishop of Rome erected there an humble dwelling. This bas been added to by one Pope after another, until itis now one ef the most spacious and magnificent palaces, stocked with paintings, statues, books and antiquities of the rarest kind.

Truel, of Marysville, has invented a machine for saving fine gold, which is thus described by the Express; It consists of a frame, say four feet long, about the same in hight, and three feet wide. On the top of this frame is placed a rffle, slanting sufficiently for the gravel to pass off, and on this riffle rests the sluice box, which may be adjusted aecording to the quantity of water used. The surface of the riffle is straight, with apertures extending entirely across three-eights of an inch apart. The water small gravel, gold, &e., pass through this open riflle, and then reverses its direction, passing over a pan or reservoir, and thence over an overshot wheel to the jeoen, The pan is about four inches deep. Over this pan is suspended a rake, having several rows of teeth, so arranged as to keep the entire deposit in the pan continually stirred up. The water passing over the wheel sets it in motion, and the wheel bein connected with the rake, causes it to. move back an forth over the pan. ‘The 24 le is exceedingly simple. The water, dirt and gravel pass through the riffle, whilst the larger gravel passes over the tail to the ground, After passing through the ryfile the water changes its direction and passes into the pan, with the sand and gold, The teeth of the rake form an eddy whereby the gold will have an opportunity to sink to the bottom, while, by the action of the teeth, the dirt is kept stired up sufficiently to pass off with the water. The great feature of the machine is that it may be run with very little water. Mr. Truell has obtained a caveat for his invention, and is about applying for a patent. Ont Morn Unrorrunatre—On the 26th of December, says the Arizonian, during the recent explorations of Col. Gray, to the Gila river, the re~ mains of some unknown traveler were discovered near a spring, called the ‘Ajo Verde.” ‘Two brown blankets, somewhat used, were lying on the ground near the spring, one haying a bullet hole through it, and considerable clotted thlood was on a part of the other. A clean hickory shirt rested on a bush a few ger off, and a small brown clay pipe with a turkey bone stem, was picked up near by. A few feet from the spring was a pile of sticks and the ashes of a fire apparently made only a few days before, Several of the bones were lying about, but almost the entire body had been made way with by the wolves. The hair of the unfortunate person was entangled on a bush, where the body must have lainj near the fire, when first diecaventl by the cayotes, From an ex~ amination of his hair and pipe, by a gentleman from Fort Yuma, the unfortunate man is supposed to be a Texan, by the name of Shays, on his way to hig native State from California, He had with him about four hundred and fifty dollars upon reaching the fort, and was doubtless murdered by some oneto whom he had inoautiously shown it. A Mevancno.y Deatu.—The Mountain Democrat says that an inquest was held on January 16th, at Wild Cat Bar, on the middle fork of the American river, by Coroner Todd, on the body of Major Wm.
