Lxecenvematy.—Collins, the rope man, bas created considerable sensation in San Francisco and Sacramento, by bis feats of untying and tying bimself with ropes, while in a box on the stuge, We believe Collins claims‘tbat the tying and untying is done by the agency of spirits, and many others believe the eame thing, But the feat isdoubtless nothing but a piece of leg rdemain, and not a very remarkable trick either, Feats equally as ivexplieable are frequently performed by jugglers, who make no pretensions to spiritual aid. The Le Phare, «. Freoch paper at San Francisco, publishes ao extract from the travels of Madam Ida Pfeiffer, who witnessed a feat iu Java, of a similar character, but far excelling any thing done by Col lins.

Ifthe principle of non-intervention embodied in the Kansas-Nebraska act is to be abandoned at all, we are satisfied that a large majority in the Union will prefer to sustain intervention against slavery extension rather than intervention Logan wanted past issues to sleep in oblivion, Douglas’ position waa kuown, and that was enough, Clark asked if the Democratic nominee would organize the Committees, and if Kansas would . be adm tted without restriction, Logan had never asked the question; it bad in its favor.

But if they unite for a different purpose—and undertake to fight one sectionalism by upholding an. other, the Democratic party will have disbanded . itself by its own act, and placed itself voluntarily in the hands of its enemies, FepERAL OFFICIALS AROUND.—The principal . Federal office holders of California were promptly . on hand at Sacramento, to organize the Legislature . and elect a U.S. Senator. Among them were, B, F, . Washington, Collector of San rocsers Pe du» . Solomon, United States Marshal; C. L. Welles Postmaster, San Francisco; John Ferguson, United States Mail Agent for the Pacific coast; Geo.

Watch; and John Perry, Asa Porter, and Edward . Cohen, of the Custom House, All the above are . stationed at San Francisco. Besides these, we find . A. Lester, Collector of Stockton; W. G. Ross, Col. lector of San Pedro; V. E. Geiger, Indian Agent at . . Nome Lackee; W. T. Harvey, Land Register, Los . Angeles; and how many more, the Sacramento . papers have not recorded, SENATORIAL.—We are taking no especial pains to discover who is the choice of our friends hereaMost of them probably feel as we do—that . it’s none of our funeral—and worry their minds not . much about the Senatorial question. Weller we have long regarded as a humbug. He is a fossil of a bad beast. Denver is poor timber. Baldwin is better. Washington has more Senatorial stuff in. him; Ll we cannot forget the unmanly, the vulgar, the heathenish spirit in which his especial organ urged on the hounds who sought the life of Senator Broderick. It was a Washingtonian work for a! Washingtonian advancement. 3B. F. should be held . answerable forthe manner in which the Georges advocated his cuuse.

A ProritanLe VINEYARD. M. Covillaud, a . pioneer Marysvillian, has a vineyard which consists of twelve acres. The first part of it was planted about six years ago, and the latter portion two years . afterwards. The ground was first simply ploughed, and has ever since been worked by the garden spade. The vines are stuck two feet in the earth, in the midst of diamond squares about three feet apart. In winter each vine, with its tendrils, is tied up in The twelve acres require . the attention of six laborers, at an annual expense of $2,000. The kind of grape cultivated is the dark Los Angeles, and the wine which it produces is such as we get from Oporto, and known as port wine. Mons. Covillaud sold, this season, thirty-five thou. sand dollars worth of grapes! and made six thousand gallons of wine, worthtwo dollars a gallon. The_ total net produce for the season, after deducting the . cost of labor and other expenses, was forty-four thousand dollars! The wine at two dollars a gallon is cheaper than importations of foreign brands. Great Marcu Race.—The 8. F. Telegram . makes the following statement: “ A great match race has been made by a gentleman of Los Angeles and one of the wealthiest rancheros of Lower California. The race is to be run near Los Angeles, in March, and the following conditions are to be ob. served, viz: The wager is five thousand head of cattle . carrying ninety pounds weight. The race cannot be run on any race course, as the turns would prove too tiresome; but the horses will run six miles to a flag post, and thence back to the starting post. As native cattle are worth about an ounce per head, the stakes will amount, on both sides, to $160,000—the largest on record.” On Broad St., next door to Block & Co's., . ing of the stockholders of the California Stage Fire 1x Pracer.—At Iowa Hill, on Thursday .

When he had expressed his A Fast Bez .netbegounge boys of these days, cratio party never does wrong, The party bas never indorsed a platform which was not in accordance with his views, and he would vote for the nominee of the Convention anyhow. Haskin said: “I will not.” He asked Logan . if be believed the Territorial Legislature of . Kansas could exclude slavery or abolish it? Logan professed to be a Democrat, neither Lecompton nor Anti-Lecompton—a Stephen A. Douglas Democrat, first, last, and all the time, . If he is not nominated, I am for the next man; that is the man nominated. Haskin asked if he would sustain the nomi. nee if the platform protected slavery in the Territories ? Logan—* Wait till the Demooratic Platform does that, and I will tell you,’ Haskin said the Republicans of the last session put themselves squarely onthe Anti-Lecompton platform. He was in favor of the organization of the House, and beld in abborrence the appeals made to him to support those who sustain the policy of this Administration, He would never vote for any man fer Speaker who voted for the Lecompton policy of the Administration or who approves of its prosecution. In reply to a question, be said he would vote for any gentleman on the Republican side of the Honse who comes nearer to bis platform thau the gentlemen on the other side who voted for the Lecompton Constitution, Furthermore he would do all in his power to prevent ao organization of the House by the election of ao Administration candidate. Florenee, of Pennsylvania (Democrat) said he came here a Democrat, and expected to supporta Democrat. He had differed from cbildhood with the Republicans, and would never . affiliate with them. Haskin enid : “If the Republican side affiliate with me, I shall be most bappy to give them iny support. Icame here as an Independent Democrat, with no collar around my neck. If the Republicans put themselves on the Popular Sovereignty doctrine, in which I believe. in opposition to the infamous extravagance and gross corruption of this Administration, I would sooner co-operate with them than with those who go with gentlemen of the South, and support a fraudulent Constitution for the purpose . of bringing @ slave State into the Union,” Florence said he would take occasion another time to answer his friend in regard to the corruption of the Administration of which he bad spoken, Ov motion of Winslow, of North Carolina (Dem.,) the House proceeded to the election of the Speaker, with the following result: Whele . oumber of votes, 231; necessary to a choice, 115—Sherman, (Rep.) bad 110 ; Bocock, (Dem) 88 ; Gilmer (5. Opp.) 20; scattering, 13. hickman (Anti-Leeompton Democrat,) offered a resolution for the adoption of the plurality rule, which was declared out of order, Atthe time, Winslow of North Carolina, moved an adjournment until Monday, Negatived by 28 majority, A motion was made to adjourn till to morrow which was defeated by the same vote, Hickman again attempted to offer his resolu. tion: At 20 minutes past 4 the House adjourned, On Saturday, Dec. 10th, Hickman moved to . amend the Journal by the insertion of his resolution, whieh had been omitted. The Clerk said it had been merely read for information. Hickman contended he had a right to offer it. from different parte of Solano county bad left) a side; distance to be run, twelve miles; each nag . and that it took precedence of all other questions, Grow, and Washburn, of Maine, took the same view, and Houston, of Alabama, (Dem.) the opposite, Stanton, of Ohio (Rep.) said the resolution could not be entertained now, as other ques. tions were pending. Reagan, of Texas, (Dem.) regarded the resoIntion as designed to enable men to vote for a Black Republican, when they would not come up like men and vote directly for such a nominee, Hickman did not consider the remarke applied to bim. He would vote for any Republican in preference to any gentleman who sustains this Administration. Reagan said nobody doubted that, and repeated whut he bad first stated. Hickman said be had never stated what bis ultimate action would be. He would prefer a sound Democrat. By that he meant a Democrat opposed to the Administration—an AntiLecompton Democrat. He was frank to say, that iv the ehnion loy between a friend of the Administration anda Republican, be would prefer the jatter, He had offered the resolution in order that an organization might be had, and . insisted that bis motion to amend the Journal be put to the House to decide, Smith, of Virgivia, (Dem.) said the motion was uonecessary, an the gentleman and those acting with him could vote for the Republican nomiuee, and thus end the question, No man been received by Bolton & Baron, of San Fran. opinion, he invited the crowd to drink—remarking; . who bad witnessed that gentleman’s course for cisco. from the British Minister at Mexico, con-. “I take m’ brandy cocktail, you'd better believe, firming the news of the signing of the McLane . gentlemen !

He defined the difference between the Republican and Abolition parties, and denounced the affair at Harper's Ferry as the result of Abolitioniem. Smith bore testimony that there was net a drop of Abolition blood in Clark’s heart, He denied that Bocock was put up as an Administration man, aud denounced the inconsistency of Clark in prope elected asa Democrat and refusing to act with the party. Clark aeked ifbe would consider it ground fora dissolution ef the Union if he WHOLE NO. 327. . should find the people of the North combining as a sectional party against the South. Smith replied that whevever the combination of a majority is formed for the purpose of warring on the constitutional rights of any section of the Uniun “I am out,’”’ Clark said ; “So am I, sir; but you have not answered my question.” Smith said he would not undertake to say if any particular man should be elected President he would favor a dissolution of the Union, “Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.” On Monday, Dec, 12th, Pryor, (Dem.) of Virginia, and Nelson, (S. 0.) of Tennessee, had a tilt, in which the former took the Jatter to task for not being a true Southerner, Nelson, who uttered strong Union sentiments, was repeatedly and vociferously cheered. He denounced the secessionists and stood by the Union and the Constitution. A member asked if he put the Union above the Constitution, He said he put them together, for ove cannot exist without the other, Agnin, he saidas far as Tennessee was concerned he would stand up and say that no man there of-any note sympathizes with the Givuut0n seuvuivate, Iv reply to a question by Pryor, he said that much ashe would deprecate the election of a Black Republican President, that would of itself be no cause for disso. lution, for they ought to wait and see whether they would do anything injurious to the rights of the South, To the Young Men of California, The following extract from the introductory address of Professor Barstow, delivered at the opening of the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, should be read by every yonng man in California: How potent are the considerations which urge the young men of California to improve their minds, In the first place, this country is new, and there is a demand for knowledge and skill, Vast enterprises of developement and upbuilding are to be undertaken, The condition of the country ealls for it, A soil rich in its eurface, and concealing mines below, is the basis for all that is active and ardent in enterprise, provided a race naturally powerful bas possession of it, Such an one is the Anglo-American race, It is the nature of this race to pant for great enterprises. Itis not aputtering race. It likes to wield great forces, and grapple with great difficulties. It delights in what is grand, bat practical in achievement. Jt is not a revolutionary race, unless trodden upon by a hard and heavy heel, Then it will ight; and when it fights it gonquore, But disdaias the nonsense of conspiracies, the gabble of insurrections, the whisper of underground plots, It leaves all that to men of noise. But it loves to staud before barriers of Nature, deemed impassable— heights considered inaccessible, and then say, Excelsior! I must go up bere. This is the bent of the Anglo-American mind, It is the prize-fighter with nature. Young men of California, is there avy doubt that all your mental resources will be wanted? If I hada prophet’s voice that could reach you all, I would say, improve you, every man his own mind, No matter what your vocation, whether to beal the sick, to bridge streams, to sink shafts— whether you are to be craftsmen, shepards, vinedressers, plowmen, engineers, lawyers—~no, matter what, All your talents, all your acquiremeets will be in demand; for into the compass of the next ten years the people of the Pacific ebore will crowd the progress of centuries, Let us Jook at our situation. There are certain physical facts which produce moral and intelleetual consequences, Climate, geographical position, and local institutions, as well as events and the powerful character of individaals, have their part in shaping the destiny of a people. Let any man stand on the summits of the Pyrenees, and see what an obstacle they form to social intercourse and business, and there he discovers how the great barriera of nature tend to preserve, on each side of them, distinct national characteristice, Those mountains give a marked individuality to 'rance on the one side, and Spain on the other, Our situation with respect to the Atlantic States, is not parallel with this, but there isa resemblance. We have more amalgamating influences, and fewer causes of separation, We speak the same language as our brethren of the Atlantic States, We have come from those States. We belong to the Union, But change of place changes, to some extent the man, Neither the Southerner at the North nor the Yankee at the South, remains wholly the same, He exhibits a character modified by the objects around bim, It is a new philosophy that mun is in part the creature of circumstances; and hence the common saying amongst us, ‘he is not the same man that he was at the East.’ To the echolar and the statesman, it is a subject of interest to inquire the causes of this change. But it should not astonish or alarm us to kuow that California never can become a Massachusetts or a South Carolina. Nature’s laws forbid this. Itisa great wistake to suppose that governments, or codes can neutralize the effect of physical causes, The greatest neutralizer is intercommunication. But even this is wholly ineffectual; and as Jon as the ridge of the Sierra Nevada remains an the billows of the Pacific roll, no matter what railroads or steamships we bave, so long this Pacific country will be # peculiar country, and this people a peculiar people. It never would be a Massachusetts, even if every inhabitant had been born in that commonwealth, Nor could it become a South Carolina, even if it should be swept of its present inhabitants, and the people of South Carolina could he lifted BP. en masse, over the mountains, and ret down in California. We have before us, then in common with all ovr conntry, an impending future, towards which we are hastening. in connection with the other States of the Confederacy, But we have also a future of our owo—a future influenced by our location, climate,’pursuits, resonrces—a future which our principles and actious are to shape out, and which we have it in our power to make full of glory or full of shame, A Picrvre or Tuvrztow Werv.—The genial writer of pen and ink portraits, in the Leader, thus describes one of the most prominent men in American public life : “Tall, angular and Jarge-boned, with thick and wiry gray bair, cut close and adbering vig, orously to a long, strong, angular, and massive head, fullof nervous force—this gentleman, with barsb, square features, prominent ehcek bone, !ips habitually compressed; shaggy, gra eyebrows, fringing a sloping sbelf of forebead; hazy gray eyes of subtle hue—keen, vigilant, humoristic, with great power of severe expression; a nose long, muscular, and standing out like a sentinel on duty before the other features—tbese with asaturine complexion and steneographic habit of face, framed under 9 broad-brimmed provincial beaver hat, and surmounting largely boned limbs cased in the rural style of a gentleman farmer paying bis regular visit to an egricultural fair—such, as near as we can give it, is the outer man of Thurlow Weed, beyond all comparison the firstjunofficial public man in the United States, Re-oPenine or THE Mint.—At the re-opening of the Mint, on Tuesday of last week, there was a perfect rush, and before 2 p. m. there had been deposited 3,224 ounces of gold and 18,348 ounces of silver. Of the silver, 11,549 ounces was from the Washoe mines, Haran rm arent fwd? vee" oie Dass ipa pase hater 2

A ProritanLe VINEYARD. M. Covillaud, a . pioneer Marysvillian, has a vineyard which consists of twelve acres. The first part of it was planted about six years ago, and the latter portion two years . afterwards. The ground was first simply ploughed, and has ever since been worked by the garden spade. The vines are stuck two feet in the earth, in the midst of diamond squares about three feet apart. In winter each vine, with its tendrils, is tied up in The twelve acres require . the attention of six laborers, at an annual expense of $2,000. The kind of grape cultivated is the dark Los Angeles, and the wine which it produces is such as we get from Oporto, and known as port wine. Mons. Covillaud sold, this season, thirty-five thou. sand dollars worth of grapes! and made six thousand gallons of wine, worthtwo dollars a gallon. The_ total net produce for the season, after deducting the . cost of labor and other expenses, was forty-four thousand dollars! The wine at two dollars a gallon is cheaper than importations of foreign brands. Great Marcu Race.—The 8. F.

The race is to be run near Los Angeles, in March, and the following conditions are to be ob. served, viz: The wager is five thousand head of cattle . carrying ninety pounds weight. The race cannot be run on any race course, as the turns would prove too tiresome; but the horses will run six miles to a flag post, and thence back to the starting post. As native cattle are worth about an ounce per head, the stakes will amount, on both sides, to $160,000—the largest on record.” On Broad St., next door to Block & Co's., . ing of the stockholders of the California Stage Fire 1x Pracer.—At Iowa Hill, on Thursday .

Haskin said: “I will not.” He asked Logan . if be believed the Territorial Legislature of . Kansas could exclude slavery or abolish it? Logan professed to be a Democrat, neither Lecompton nor Anti-Lecompton—a Stephen A. Douglas Democrat, first, last, and all the time, . If he is not nominated, I am for the next man; that is the man nominated. Haskin asked if he would sustain the nomi. nee if the platform protected slavery in the Territories ? Logan—* Wait till the Demooratic Platform does that, and I will tell you,’ Haskin said the Republicans of the last session put themselves squarely onthe Anti-Lecompton platform. He was in favor of the organization of the House, and beld in abborrence the appeals made to him to support those who sustain the policy of this Administration, He would never vote for any man fer Speaker who voted for the Lecompton policy of the Administration or who approves of its prosecution. In reply to a question, be said he would vote for any gentleman on the Republican side of the Honse who comes nearer to bis platform thau the gentlemen on the other side who voted for the Lecompton Constitution, Furthermore he would do all in his power to prevent ao organization of the House by the election of ao Administration candidate. Florenee, of Pennsylvania (Democrat) said he came here a Democrat, and expected to supporta Democrat. He had differed from cbildhood with the Republicans, and would never . affiliate with them. Haskin enid : “If the Republican side affiliate with me, I shall be most bappy to give them iny support. Icame here as an Independent Democrat, with no collar around my neck. If the Republicans put themselves on the Popular Sovereignty doctrine, in which I believe. in opposition to the infamous extravagance and gross corruption of this Administration, I would sooner co-operate with them than with those who go with gentlemen of the South, and support a fraudulent Constitution for the purpose . of bringing @ slave State into the Union,” Florence said he would take occasion another time to answer his friend in regard to the corruption of the Administration of which he bad spoken, Ov motion of Winslow, of North Carolina (Dem.,) the House proceeded to the election of the Speaker, with the following result: Whele . oumber of votes, 231; necessary to a choice, 115—Sherman, (Rep.) bad 110 ; Bocock, (Dem) 88 ; Gilmer (5.

The Clerk said it had been merely read for information. Hickman contended he had a right to offer it. from different parte of Solano county bad left) a side; distance to be run, twelve miles; each nag . and that it took precedence of all other questions, Grow, and Washburn, of Maine, took the same view, and Houston, of Alabama, (Dem.) the opposite, Stanton, of Ohio (Rep.) said the resolution could not be entertained now, as other ques. tions were pending. Reagan, of Texas, (Dem.) regarded the resoIntion as designed to enable men to vote for a Black Republican, when they would not come up like men and vote directly for such a nominee, Hickman did not consider the remarke applied to bim. He would vote for any Republican in preference to any gentleman who sustains this Administration. Reagan said nobody doubted that, and repeated whut he bad first stated. Hickman said be had never stated what bis ultimate action would be. He would prefer a sound Democrat. By that he meant a Democrat opposed to the Administration—an AntiLecompton Democrat. He was frank to say, that iv the ehnion loy between a friend of the Administration anda Republican, be would prefer the jatter, He had offered the resolution in order that an organization might be had, and . insisted that bis motion to amend the Journal be put to the House to decide, Smith, of Virgivia, (Dem.) said the motion was uonecessary, an the gentleman and those acting with him could vote for the Republican nomiuee, and thus end the question, No man been received by Bolton & Baron, of San Fran. opinion, he invited the crowd to drink—remarking; . who bad witnessed that gentleman’s course for cisco. from the British Minister at Mexico, con-. “I take m’ brandy cocktail, you'd better believe, firming the news of the signing of the McLane . gentlemen !

Clark said be was no sectional man, The City . of New York could not afford to send a section. al man to Congress, He did not regard the Republican party as an Abolition party. He defined the difference between the Republican and Abolition parties, and denounced the affair at Harper's Ferry as the result of Abolitioniem.

Smith replied that whevever the combination of a majority is formed for the purpose of warring on the constitutional rights of any section of the Uniun “I am out,’”’ Clark said ; “So am I, sir; but you have not answered my question.” Smith said he would not undertake to say if any particular man should be elected President he would favor a dissolution of the Union, “Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.” On Monday, Dec, 12th, Pryor, (Dem.) of Virginia, and Nelson, (S. 0.) of Tennessee, had a tilt, in which the former took the Jatter to task for not being a true Southerner, Nelson, who uttered strong Union sentiments, was repeatedly and vociferously cheered. He denounced the secessionists and stood by the Union and the Constitution. A member asked if he put the Union above the Constitution, He said he put them together, for ove cannot exist without the other, Agnin, he saidas far as Tennessee was concerned he would stand up and say that no man there of-any note sympathizes with the Givuut0n seuvuivate, Iv reply to a question by Pryor, he said that much ashe would deprecate the election of a Black Republican President, that would of itself be no cause for disso. lution, for they ought to wait and see whether they would do anything injurious to the rights of the South, To the Young Men of California, The following extract from the introductory address of Professor Barstow, delivered at the opening of the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, should be read by every yonng man in California: How potent are the considerations which urge the young men of California to improve their minds, In the first place, this country is new, and there is a demand for knowledge and skill, Vast enterprises of developement and upbuilding are to be undertaken, The condition of the country ealls for it, A soil rich in its eurface, and concealing mines below, is the basis for all that is active and ardent in enterprise, provided a race naturally powerful bas possession of it, Such an one is the Anglo-American race, It is the nature of this race to pant for great enterprises. Itis not aputtering race. It likes to wield great forces, and grapple with great difficulties. It delights in what is grand, bat practical in achievement. Jt is not a revolutionary race, unless trodden upon by a hard and heavy heel, Then it will ight; and when it fights it gonquore, But disdaias the nonsense of conspiracies, the gabble of insurrections, the whisper of underground plots, It leaves all that to men of noise. But it loves to staud before barriers of Nature, deemed impassable— heights considered inaccessible, and then say, Excelsior! I must go up bere. This is the bent of the Anglo-American mind, It is the prize-fighter with nature. Young men of California, is there avy doubt that all your mental resources will be wanted? If I hada prophet’s voice that could reach you all, I would say, improve you, every man his own mind, No matter what your vocation, whether to beal the sick, to bridge streams, to sink shafts— whether you are to be craftsmen, shepards, vinedressers, plowmen, engineers, lawyers—~no, matter what, All your talents, all your acquiremeets will be in demand; for into the compass of the next ten years the people of the Pacific ebore will crowd the progress of centuries, Let us Jook at our situation. There are certain physical facts which produce moral and intelleetual consequences, Climate, geographical position, and local institutions, as well as events and the powerful character of individaals, have their part in shaping the destiny of a people. Let any man stand on the summits of the Pyrenees, and see what an obstacle they form to social intercourse and business, and there he discovers how the great barriera of nature tend to preserve, on each side of them, distinct national characteristice, Those mountains give a marked individuality to 'rance on the one side, and Spain on the other, Our situation with respect to the Atlantic States, is not parallel with this, but there isa resemblance. We have more amalgamating influences, and fewer causes of separation, We speak the same language as our brethren of the Atlantic States, We have come from those States. We belong to the Union, But change of place changes, to some extent the man, Neither the Southerner at the North nor the Yankee at the South, remains wholly the same, He exhibits a character modified by the objects around bim, It is a new philosophy that mun is in part the creature of circumstances; and hence the common saying amongst us, ‘he is not the same man that he was at the East.’ To the echolar and the statesman, it is a subject of interest to inquire the causes of this change. But it should not astonish or alarm us to kuow that California never can become a Massachusetts or a South Carolina. Nature’s laws forbid this. Itisa great wistake to suppose that governments, or codes can neutralize the effect of physical causes, The greatest neutralizer is intercommunication. But even this is wholly ineffectual; and as Jon as the ridge of the Sierra Nevada remains an the billows of the Pacific roll, no matter what railroads or steamships we bave, so long this Pacific country will be # peculiar country, and this people a peculiar people. It never would be a Massachusetts, even if every inhabitant had been born in that commonwealth, Nor could it become a South Carolina, even if it should be swept of its present inhabitants, and the people of South Carolina could he lifted BP. en masse, over the mountains, and ret down in California. We have before us, then in common with all ovr conntry, an impending future, towards which we are hastening. in connection with the other States of the Confederacy, But we have also a future of our owo—a future influenced by our location, climate,’pursuits, resonrces—a future which our principles and actious are to shape out, and which we have it in our power to make full of glory or full of shame, A Picrvre or Tuvrztow Werv.—The genial writer of pen and ink portraits, in the Leader, thus describes one of the most prominent men in American public life : “Tall, angular and Jarge-boned, with thick and wiry gray bair, cut close and adbering vig, orously to a long, strong, angular, and massive head, fullof nervous force—this gentleman, with barsb, square features, prominent ehcek bone, !ips habitually compressed; shaggy, gra eyebrows, fringing a sloping sbelf of forebead; hazy gray eyes of subtle hue—keen, vigilant, humoristic, with great power of severe expression; a nose long, muscular, and standing out like a sentinel on duty before the other features—tbese with asaturine complexion and steneographic habit of face, framed under 9 broad-brimmed provincial beaver hat, and surmounting largely boned limbs cased in the rural style of a gentleman farmer paying bis regular visit to an egricultural fair—such, as near as we can give it, is the outer man of Thurlow Weed, beyond all comparison the firstjunofficial public man in the United States, Re-oPenine or THE Mint.—At the re-opening of the Mint, on Tuesday of last week, there was a perfect rush, and before 2 p. m. there had been deposited 3,224 ounces of gold and 18,348 ounces of silver.
