After a laborious service in the United States . Senate during a term of six years, and ata juncture in the history of the State when the energy and fidelity of a representative could be most fruitful of results, 1 found myself at the expira. tion of my term, and after having, as I supposed outlived the misrepresentations of my enemies, }engaged again in a struggle which has been re rewarded with the confidence of the Legislature. My election was attended by circumstances which rarely occur in the course of such contests. A’ representative whose evil destiny lit is to be the indirect dispenser of Federal patronage will strangely miscaleulate if he expects to evade the malice of disappointed men. But the hostility, malignity and abuse which have ursued my Senatorial career when at a distance m my maligners, and which have accompanied me during the strife just closed, are such, never before endured to survive. The opposition I have sustained came from an . unexpected quarter, and from those whose friendship I had believed, strengthened as it . was by personal obligation, nothing could weaken or sever. Ardent, devoted and disinterested friends I had, whose fidelity remained unshaken from first to last, through storm and sunshine alike, and to these, one and all, my grateful acknowledgements are due. But even the force of their attachment, faithful and zealous as it was, would have proved unavailing, if unaided, to mect and conquer the opposition which open hostility and secret treache' against me. I had learned in the struggle that he who aids in conferring great official power upon individuals does not always secure friends, and the force of deep personal obligation may even be converted into an incentive to hostility and hate. In a word, to the federal patronage in the State do I attribute, ina great degree, the malice and hostile energy, which after years of faithful public service, and towards the closing period of life, have nearly cost me the endorsement of a re-election to the U. S. Senate. From the patronage then, and the curse it entails, I shall gladly in future turn, and my sole labor and ambition from henceforth shall be to deserve well of the State, and to justify the choice of the Legislature in honoring me a seeond time as a Representative of its interests, I have hinted above at aid other than that received from those whom [had regarded as friends. I refer to the timely assistance accorded to me by Mr. Broderick and his friends. Although at one time a rival, and recognizing in him even a fierce but manly opponent, I do not . hesitate to acknowledge in this public manner necessary to allay the strifes and discords which had distracted the party and the State. and to the attachment of his friends to him, I . conceive, in a great degree, my election is due; ‘and I feel bound to him and them in common tofore has been to break down and destroy. . WM. M. GWIN. . Sacramento, Jan. 13th, 1857. . . Mountain Travel in California, We copy the following from the Shasta Repub. lican, as a very graphic description of the dan. gers and hardships one is exposed to in traveling over the mountains of California in winter, : It fully equals many of the stories told by tray_elers about Switzerland : Mr. George Bradley, formerly of this place, and now a resident of Salmon River, arrived in town on Thursday night, He has given us an account of his trip from Salmon River to this place. In his route he crossed the Salmon, . Scott and Trinity Mountains, . He left his trading post, on Salmon River, on December 28. Starting at daylight from Rus\ sian River, he succeeded in making the passage . to Callahan’s Ranch, in Scott Valley, in about twenty hours, Four companions were with him . and the passage was exceedingly perilous. The . party used snow-shoes, On the summit of the / mountains the snow varied from sixty to one . hundred feet in depth. Here the wind was piercing and the cold intense. The drifting snow blinded the party, and they became separated. While in this condition, Mr. Bradley fell over a bank of snow and fortunately found some shelter from the wind. He was enabled, while ma. king a short rest under the protection of the . drift, to clear his eyelashes from the frozen snow the passage of the mountain, and soon found two of his companions. After waiting about twenty minutes, their anxiety was relieved by the appearance of the remaining two of the party. Onthe summit the timber is almost hid, and nothing is seen save a dsolate and unbroken waste of snow. Mr. Bradley assures us that the cold was so intense that the human system could not possibly endure it one half hour. Proceeding down the mountain, they were . overtaken by the night, and vainly endeavored . to build a sufficient fire to warm themselves.— At about midnight they all began to feel the drowsy and fatal effects of the cold. All felt sleepy. Concluding that theironly safety was lin proceeding on their way, they abandoned . their inclement camp, and after a toilsome march . of four hours over the unbroken snow, they reached Callahan’s Ranch at 4 o’clock in the . TOBACCO, FRESH FRUITS, HARDWARE, QUEENSWARE, . Morning. Across Scott Mountain the travel was not so . difficult. On the summit, the snow was about . twelve feet deep. Near the summit, the spot . where McPherson lately perished was passed.— . The body of the unfortunate man still remains . there, enveloped in his frozen winding sheet to the depth of ten feet. Soon after he perished, an unsuccessful attempt was made to bury him. . After the grave was dug, and while the body . was being taken from the drift of snow in which he was found, a storm came upon the party, which soon filled the grave and compelled them . to seek their safety by flight. Scott Mountain. Coming down on this side, . Mr. Bradley represents to have been exceedingly toilsome. The snow was light and the snow. shoe sank, at every step, about one foot in depth. Throughout Trinity Valley the snow lies at a uniform depth of about seven feet. The snow on Trinity Mountain was about eight feet deep. The trail, however,,was_broken on Wednesday last, the day before Mr. Bradley made the crossing. The trail across Trinity . Mountain will now probably remain open. It . is a unbroken on Scott Mountain, he ice had formed so thick on Trinity River i that a person could ride a mule across without danger. Mr. Bradley arrived in town on Thursday night. He made a perilous trip, and we have piyee a brief agcount of it for the purpose of nforming those whose duty calls them North. ward, of the fatigues they will be required to . endure, and of the dangers they will be likely . to encounter, .

We copy the following severe but just remarks from the San Francisco Sun : No little dissatisfaction has been caused in this community by the late outrageous proceedings of the Banks and Bankers of this most choicely honest and moral city of San Francisco. Our readers will aot fail to remember, that ata time when the operations of the Branch Mint were suspended for the want of some necessary maierials, our banking firms came out in a card, asking the people to advocate the striking off of private coin, promising to receive such coin as legal tender. In accordance with this request, Messrs. Humbert, Wass, Molitor & Co., Kellogg & Co., and others, went largely into the operation, and even laid out consi erable sums in extending and completing their facilities to supply the demand for coin. That was the ery, coin! coin! and ten dollar pieces being the most desirable for commerce, an enormous amount of them was stricken off. Since then the Branch Mint has been in full blast, and has produced quite enough of the desideratum to meet all the demands of commerce, and now for the first time the Bankers discover that the private coinage of Kellogg & Co., Wass, MolliTheir partial scales which ever tend bankward, never tipped until their private ends were answered, and the scales on the banker’s eyes, unlike those on the eyes of St Paul, never fall iquity, but perversely magnify the short comings of others, while they as obdurately blind the consciences of the bankers, if they really possess those regulators. The following facts will give the trusting public some idea of the . moribund consciences of our bankers, On the . 16th December, a China merchant, for the firm of Mankee & Co., presented a check for $650 on . Davidson & Co., which was honored by the pay/ ment of the sum, all in ten dollar pieces of the . private coinage of Wass, Mollitor &Co, At the . } same time, the question was asked him, for . mere form, whether it would make any differ. ence to him to be paid in small coin? Themerchant replied, none whatever; although he no. ticed that previous to that time, he had always had his checks cashed in the coinage of the United States. On the 17th, the day following, he . presented another check, also for $650, on the same house, and was again paid in like manner /as before. On the 26th December, the same . merchant presented a check on Drexel Sather . & Church, and was again paid in private coin, But mark the sequel. On Friday last, our Chinese friend having learned the new reform movement of the banks, repaired to Davidson & Co., and to Drexel, Sather & Church, with a . view of returning the coin so recently obtained from them, but was cooly met with the assurance that those banks did not do business in that way, and that they would not consent to receive the money paid out by themselves only . par value with the U.S. coinage. except by ac‘tual weight. These data, teach us the humiliating fact, that as early as the 16th of last month our bankers had determined on the course they made public only afew days since. It shows conclusively, that even at that time, they had secretly commenced the work of purging . their vaults of private coinage, passing off on the unsuspecting public for full value, what they had already determined to depreciate and to refuse without a heavy discount, It is the most . unmistakeable evidence of a powerful monied . league to cheat the people, for it can be called . by no other term, It is however, our pleasant ' duty to mention one instance of quite different character, and it is that of Messrs, Lucas, Turn. er & Co,, who have nobly and righteously acted . in this matter, paying out the coin at the same . rates they are willing to receive it back again, and vice versa. It has, often occurred to us, that the flood of five franc pieces and British ru. pees, with which our money market is burdened is entirely owing the same spirit of banking speculation, and the active enterprise of seve_ralsof our foreign houses, so noted as money ‘Jenders, and agents for foreign capitalists, To ! the same source may be attributed the elegant . Prussian quarter operation, some time ago, al. though in that instance the fraud was so glaringly apparent, that but little comparative injury was effected. Transactions like the above, . are far worthier money shavers on the streets, . than of men who pretend to the, elsewhere, honorable business of bankers; albeit their banking isin itself unconstitutional, and at open variance with the direct requirements of ‘that instrument. The heaviest blow will fall on the interior towns and mining localities, . whither, we learn, a great proportion of this de. preciated private coin has been sent, Every succeeding year but adds to the already long catalogue of iniquities committed by . California Banks and Bankers, and but shows the more clearly the wouderful gullibility of the masses. . Tue Esrruquake at Monterey anp Los AN. GELES.—A correspondent of the Bulletin, writ. ing from Los Angeles says: ‘A severe shock of an earthquake was felt here this morning . (Jan. 9th) at half past eight o’clock. The motion seemed to be east and west. The oscillation of the earth resembled the long swell of the . sea—it literally swayed backwards and for_wards like the rocking of waves, so that it was . with great difficulty one could stand up. Articles hung overhead in houses, swung to and /fro like so many pendulums, Clocks were stopped. The water in the pivey and zanjas was turned back or overflowed the banks. The ' damage done to buildings was slight, as the . motions were long and lateral, instead of sud. den, violent and vertical.” . Another correspondent, writing from Monterey, says: “A smart shock of an earthquake— . apparently a wave coming from the west and /north, and making its line for the south and . east—was felt at Monterey about seven o’clock . in the morning of Friday, the 9thinst. It shook some of the oldest adobe buildings in the town, but did no harm whatsoever to things animate . or inanimate.” SinauLAR PuenomeNon,— The San Joaquin . Republican records the following singular phe. nomenon, which happened on the morning the . earthquake was felt. “A gentleman who was hunting near Slacklow . on Friday last, witnessed a very singular phe. nomenon, which he describes as follows. THe was standing on the bank of one of the little . lakes which are found in the tules, watching for . ducks. All at once he heard a rustling in the . water, resembling the noise that would be made . by animals wading through the shoal. His attention being called to the peculiarity of the noise, he stood watching for a few moments, when a large swell came rolling and dashing violently against the shares, and in places running over the plain toa distance of several hundred yards. The bank where our informant . stood, was cavered by the swell to the depth of . two or three feet. The swell seemed to roll northward, as though the centrifugal motion of the earth had momentarily ceased. In a short time the waters settled back and again became . placid. Ecyptian Exrerrrise.—The Viceroy of Egypt has chartered a steam nayigation company, with a capital of $3,000,000, to establish steam communication between the various ports of the Red sea. VARIETIES. IMPROVEMENT IN Biastinc Rocks.—-A mode now adopted in blasting rocks consists in ~~ ing the powder or charge within a tube or ’ between two heads provided with a packing, and attached toarod, by which arrangement the charge is prevented from “blowing out,’’ or obtain vent in the direction of the line of the hole in which the tube and charge are placed, and the effect of the charge is exerted arg the sides of the tube or case. By this method it is repreeniet that rocks may be blasted with much greater facility than by the ordinary mode, no tamping or packing of clay being necessary to confine the powder within the hole. Ax Ancrent Barx.—The New Bedford Mercury says:—The whaling bark Maria, which recently returned to New ford from the Pacific, is beyond question the oldest vessel in the United States, We have so often sketched her prolonged career that a repetition is perha unnecessary, pina sag . always, the memorable fact that she was the first ship that hoisted the American flag in the river Thames at the conclusion of the war of the American Revolution. She has already outlived on the ocean many of her more pretentious juniors, and promises to do good service yet to her owners. Copper Mrxes.—The late news from the southern part of the State inform us that valuable copper mines have been discovered within twenty-six miles of Fort Yuma. The discovery, if true, will prove important, The copper mines of Arizona are probably the richest in the world, but they can scarcely be made available at present, from the fact that they are two or three hundred miles from navigable streams. Fort Yuma is located at the junction of the Colorado and Gila rivers, and the Colorado to that point is navigable. Lamarrine’s Grape Cror.—There is good news for the friends of M. Lamartine. The grape crop of the illustrious poet is this year magnificent. Around his vineyards the hail had injured the vines—his alone were preserved, It is estimated that his crop will reach two thousand five hundred hogsheads of wine. The journal which farnishes this piece of intelligence, adds that M. Lamartine is retained at Macon, by a return of the painful rheumatism, to which he is so often subject, Honry Bers.—Appleton & Co., of San Jose, have be i A swarms of bees, the first of which was brought across the Isthmus in 1853. Several subsequent attempts were made to bring hives by the same route, but nearly all of them died before their arrival in California, It is said that they make quite as much honey from wild mustard and other plants in California, as in any other part of the world, They are at present worth $100 per hive. Ture American Cuma Trape.—The culture of tea in the United States isan attempt the importance of which is not generally known, The trade with China is rapidly increasing. In 1849 we imported 18,000,000 pounds tea. During the last year the import has reached about 40,000,000 pounds. The annual import has varied since 1849 from 18,000,000 to 40,000,000 Ibs,— some years, asin 1853, being 40,000,000 Ibs., and in 1855, 31,000,000 pounds. Ricn Quarrz.—A company, consisting of four Austrians and an Irishman, have recently struck a rich quartz vein at Brown’s Flat, a short distance from Columbia, Tuolumne county. We learn that on Thursday last, they pounded out, in mortars, about ten pounds of gold, They have been working the vein about six weeks, and estimate the value of the quartz already taken out at $20,000, ExrRavaGANnt.—-The Common Council of New York have adopted a plan, previously acted favorably upon by the other branch of the city government, for a city hall, the cost of which is to be $5,000,000. The Times of that city calls upon Mayor Wood to veto the matter, as a piece of extravagance which the citizens will not submit to be taxed for. Srray Banres.—A San Francisco paper of Wednesday last, says: ‘The police station was beseiged yesterday with parents in search of lost children, In two instances the estrays were recovered. There is yet a little girl at the station house anda boy at the corner of Sacramento and Kearny sts., waiting to be claimed.” Orrer Hentina on THE Coast.—The Santa Barbara Gazette notices the departure on a six months cruise, after otter, of the schooner Alexander Fisher. The vessel was recently purchased by a company of enterprising young men engaged in hunting sea otter along the coast, Quarrz.—Some vuluable pieces of gold-hearing quartz have lately been taken from the lead on Big Canon, about a mile and a half north of Placerville. The lead is about three feet thick, and in most of the quartz taken out, gold is plainly perceptible. A mill will be erected there early in the spring. Extensive Fruminc.—The work of grading for the monster flume, which is to lay baye the rich deposits in the bed of Feather river, oppor site Oroville, next summer. has been commenced. This is said to be one of the most extensive fluming operations on that river. Fioons in InpiA.—The recent floods in British India. according to the Calcutta correspondent of the London Times, swept away whole towns from the face of the earth, and caused the loss between 4,000 and 5,000 lives, besides the destruction of incalculable amounts of property. A Kansas Swinpter.—Col. J. W. White, of Kansas, who has been raising men and money at the South for the Southern cause in Kansas, has decamped with the funds, and left his men destitute and penniless, somewhere in Georgia, Destructing Frres.—The total aggregate of losses by fire in the Atlantic States during the month of November, was $2,445,000. There were twenty-two fires in which the loss exceeded $10,000. Acowent.—Mr. Mayo, of Folsom, while out bunting, recently, bad his left hand dreadfully shattered by the bursting of a double-barreled gun, as he fireg at some geese. Viarante WoLre.—This respectable interior traveling policeman of the Vigilance Committee was fined a day or two since in San Francisco$20 for drunkennessand disorderly conduct, For Curya.—The §. F. Herald says the Chinese are organising in great strength to establish facilities for the transportation of large numbers af their people to their native land. LarGe Prorirs.—It is stated that the profits of a mercantile firm in Shasta, during the past year, amounted to $40,000. Positive anp Comparative.—In his political aspirations Gwin succeeds well, but Broderick succeeds Weller. Inprans.—There are about 60,000 Indians in California, according to official estimates, 10,000 of whom are located upon the different reserves, A Sacre of one hundred guns was fired in San Francisco, on the reception of the news of Dr. Gwin’s election.

After a laborious service in the United States . Senate during a term of six years, and ata juncture in the history of the State when the energy and fidelity of a representative could be most fruitful of results, 1 found myself at the expira. tion of my term, and after having, as I supposed outlived the misrepresentations of my enemies, }engaged again in a struggle which has been re rewarded with the confidence of the Legislature. My election was attended by circumstances which rarely occur in the course of such contests. A’ representative whose evil destiny lit is to be the indirect dispenser of Federal patronage will strangely miscaleulate if he expects to evade the malice of disappointed men. But the hostility, malignity and abuse which have ursued my Senatorial career when at a distance m my maligners, and which have accompanied me during the strife just closed, are such, never before endured to survive. The opposition I have sustained came from an . unexpected quarter, and from those whose friendship I had believed, strengthened as it . was by personal obligation, nothing could weaken or sever. Ardent, devoted and disinterested friends I had, whose fidelity remained unshaken from first to last, through storm and sunshine alike, and to these, one and all, my grateful acknowledgements are due. But even the force of their attachment, faithful and zealous as it was, would have proved unavailing, if unaided, to mect and conquer the opposition which open hostility and secret treache' against me. I had learned in the struggle that he who aids in conferring great official power upon individuals does not always secure friends, and the force of deep personal obligation may even be converted into an incentive to hostility and hate. In a word, to the federal patronage in the State do I attribute, ina great degree, the malice and hostile energy, which after years of faithful public service, and towards the closing period of life, have nearly cost me the endorsement of a re-election to the U. S. Senate. From the patronage then, and the curse it entails, I shall gladly in future turn, and my sole labor and ambition from henceforth shall be to deserve well of the State, and to justify the choice of the Legislature in honoring me a seeond time as a Representative of its interests, I have hinted above at aid other than that received from those whom [had regarded as friends. I refer to the timely assistance accorded to me by Mr. Broderick and his friends. Although at one time a rival, and recognizing in him even a fierce but manly opponent, I do not . hesitate to acknowledge in this public manner necessary to allay the strifes and discords which had distracted the party and the State. and to the attachment of his friends to him, I . conceive, in a great degree, my election is due; ‘and I feel bound to him and them in common tofore has been to break down and destroy. . WM. M. GWIN. . Sacramento, Jan. 13th, 1857. . . Mountain Travel in California, We copy the following from the Shasta Repub. lican, as a very graphic description of the dan. gers and hardships one is exposed to in traveling over the mountains of California in winter, : It fully equals many of the stories told by tray_elers about Switzerland : Mr. George Bradley, formerly of this place, and now a resident of Salmon River, arrived in town on Thursday night, He has given us an account of his trip from Salmon River to this place. In his route he crossed the Salmon, . Scott and Trinity Mountains, . He left his trading post, on Salmon River, on December 28. Starting at daylight from Rus\ sian River, he succeeded in making the passage . to Callahan’s Ranch, in Scott Valley, in about twenty hours, Four companions were with him . and the passage was exceedingly perilous. The . party used snow-shoes, On the summit of the / mountains the snow varied from sixty to one . hundred feet in depth. Here the wind was piercing and the cold intense. The drifting snow blinded the party, and they became separated. While in this condition, Mr. Bradley fell over a bank of snow and fortunately found some shelter from the wind. He was enabled, while ma. king a short rest under the protection of the . drift, to clear his eyelashes from the frozen snow the passage of the mountain, and soon found two of his companions. After waiting about twenty minutes, their anxiety was relieved by the appearance of the remaining two of the party. Onthe summit the timber is almost hid, and nothing is seen save a dsolate and unbroken waste of snow. Mr. Bradley assures us that the cold was so intense that the human system could not possibly endure it one half hour. Proceeding down the mountain, they were . overtaken by the night, and vainly endeavored . to build a sufficient fire to warm themselves.— At about midnight they all began to feel the drowsy and fatal effects of the cold. All felt sleepy. Concluding that theironly safety was lin proceeding on their way, they abandoned . their inclement camp, and after a toilsome march . of four hours over the unbroken snow, they reached Callahan’s Ranch at 4 o’clock in the . TOBACCO, FRESH FRUITS, HARDWARE, QUEENSWARE, . Morning. Across Scott Mountain the travel was not so . difficult. On the summit, the snow was about . twelve feet deep. Near the summit, the spot . where McPherson lately perished was passed.— . The body of the unfortunate man still remains . there, enveloped in his frozen winding sheet to the depth of ten feet. Soon after he perished, an unsuccessful attempt was made to bury him. . After the grave was dug, and while the body . was being taken from the drift of snow in which he was found, a storm came upon the party, which soon filled the grave and compelled them . to seek their safety by flight. Scott Mountain. Coming down on this side, . Mr. Bradley represents to have been exceedingly toilsome. The snow was light and the snow. shoe sank, at every step, about one foot in depth. Throughout Trinity Valley the snow lies at a uniform depth of about seven feet. The snow on Trinity Mountain was about eight feet deep. The trail, however,,was_broken on Wednesday last, the day before Mr. Bradley made the crossing. The trail across Trinity . Mountain will now probably remain open. It . is a unbroken on Scott Mountain, he ice had formed so thick on Trinity River i that a person could ride a mule across without danger. Mr. Bradley arrived in town on Thursday night. He made a perilous trip, and we have piyee a brief agcount of it for the purpose of nforming those whose duty calls them North. ward, of the fatigues they will be required to . endure, and of the dangers they will be likely . to encounter, .

We copy the following severe but just remarks from the San Francisco Sun : No little dissatisfaction has been caused in this community by the late outrageous proceedings of the Banks and Bankers of this most choicely honest and moral city of San Francisco. Our readers will aot fail to remember, that ata time when the operations of the Branch Mint were suspended for the want of some necessary maierials, our banking firms came out in a card, asking the people to advocate the striking off of private coin, promising to receive such coin as legal tender. In accordance with this request, Messrs. Humbert, Wass, Molitor & Co., Kellogg & Co., and others, went largely into the operation, and even laid out consi erable sums in extending and completing their facilities to supply the demand for coin. That was the ery, coin! coin! and ten dollar pieces being the most desirable for commerce, an enormous amount of them was stricken off. Since then the Branch Mint has been in full blast, and has produced quite enough of the desideratum to meet all the demands of commerce, and now for the first time the Bankers discover that the private coinage of Kellogg & Co., Wass, MolliTheir partial scales which ever tend bankward, never tipped until their private ends were answered, and the scales on the banker’s eyes, unlike those on the eyes of St Paul, never fall iquity, but perversely magnify the short comings of others, while they as obdurately blind the consciences of the bankers, if they really possess those regulators. The following facts will give the trusting public some idea of the . moribund consciences of our bankers, On the . 16th December, a China merchant, for the firm of Mankee & Co., presented a check for $650 on . Davidson & Co., which was honored by the pay/ ment of the sum, all in ten dollar pieces of the . private coinage of Wass, Mollitor &Co, At the . } same time, the question was asked him, for . mere form, whether it would make any differ. ence to him to be paid in small coin? Themerchant replied, none whatever; although he no. ticed that previous to that time, he had always had his checks cashed in the coinage of the United States. On the 17th, the day following, he . presented another check, also for $650, on the same house, and was again paid in like manner /as before. On the 26th December, the same . merchant presented a check on Drexel Sather . & Church, and was again paid in private coin, But mark the sequel. On Friday last, our Chinese friend having learned the new reform movement of the banks, repaired to Davidson & Co., and to Drexel, Sather & Church, with a . view of returning the coin so recently obtained from them, but was cooly met with the assurance that those banks did not do business in that way, and that they would not consent to receive the money paid out by themselves only . par value with the U.S. coinage. except by ac‘tual weight. These data, teach us the humiliating fact, that as early as the 16th of last month our bankers had determined on the course they made public only afew days since. It shows conclusively, that even at that time, they had secretly commenced the work of purging . their vaults of private coinage, passing off on the unsuspecting public for full value, what they had already determined to depreciate and to refuse without a heavy discount, It is the most . unmistakeable evidence of a powerful monied . league to cheat the people, for it can be called . by no other term, It is however, our pleasant ' duty to mention one instance of quite different character, and it is that of Messrs, Lucas, Turn. er & Co,, who have nobly and righteously acted . in this matter, paying out the coin at the same . rates they are willing to receive it back again, and vice versa. It has, often occurred to us, that the flood of five franc pieces and British ru. pees, with which our money market is burdened is entirely owing the same spirit of banking speculation, and the active enterprise of seve_ralsof our foreign houses, so noted as money ‘Jenders, and agents for foreign capitalists, To ! the same source may be attributed the elegant . Prussian quarter operation, some time ago, al. though in that instance the fraud was so glaringly apparent, that but little comparative injury was effected. Transactions like the above, . are far worthier money shavers on the streets, . than of men who pretend to the, elsewhere, honorable business of bankers; albeit their banking isin itself unconstitutional, and at open variance with the direct requirements of ‘that instrument. The heaviest blow will fall on the interior towns and mining localities, . whither, we learn, a great proportion of this de. preciated private coin has been sent, Every succeeding year but adds to the already long catalogue of iniquities committed by . California Banks and Bankers, and but shows the more clearly the wouderful gullibility of the masses. . Tue Esrruquake at Monterey anp Los AN. GELES.—A correspondent of the Bulletin, writ. ing from Los Angeles says: ‘A severe shock of an earthquake was felt here this morning . (Jan. 9th) at half past eight o’clock. The motion seemed to be east and west. The oscillation of the earth resembled the long swell of the . sea—it literally swayed backwards and for_wards like the rocking of waves, so that it was . with great difficulty one could stand up. Articles hung overhead in houses, swung to and /fro like so many pendulums, Clocks were stopped. The water in the pivey and zanjas was turned back or overflowed the banks. The ' damage done to buildings was slight, as the . motions were long and lateral, instead of sud. den, violent and vertical.” . Another correspondent, writing from Monterey, says: “A smart shock of an earthquake— . apparently a wave coming from the west and /north, and making its line for the south and . east—was felt at Monterey about seven o’clock . in the morning of Friday, the 9thinst. It shook some of the oldest adobe buildings in the town, but did no harm whatsoever to things animate . or inanimate.” SinauLAR PuenomeNon,— The San Joaquin . Republican records the following singular phe. nomenon, which happened on the morning the . earthquake was felt. “A gentleman who was hunting near Slacklow . on Friday last, witnessed a very singular phe. nomenon, which he describes as follows. THe was standing on the bank of one of the little . lakes which are found in the tules, watching for . ducks. All at once he heard a rustling in the . water, resembling the noise that would be made . by animals wading through the shoal. His attention being called to the peculiarity of the noise, he stood watching for a few moments, when a large swell came rolling and dashing violently against the shares, and in places running over the plain toa distance of several hundred yards. The bank where our informant . stood, was cavered by the swell to the depth of . two or three feet. The swell seemed to roll northward, as though the centrifugal motion of the earth had momentarily ceased. In a short time the waters settled back and again became . placid. Ecyptian Exrerrrise.—The Viceroy of Egypt has chartered a steam nayigation company, with a capital of $3,000,000, to establish steam communication between the various ports of the Red sea. VARIETIES. IMPROVEMENT IN Biastinc Rocks.—-A mode now adopted in blasting rocks consists in ~~ ing the powder or charge within a tube or ’ between two heads provided with a packing, and attached toarod, by which arrangement the charge is prevented from “blowing out,’’ or obtain vent in the direction of the line of the hole in which the tube and charge are placed, and the effect of the charge is exerted arg the sides of the tube or case. By this method it is repreeniet that rocks may be blasted with much greater facility than by the ordinary mode, no tamping or packing of clay being necessary to confine the powder within the hole. Ax Ancrent Barx.—The New Bedford Mercury says:—The whaling bark Maria, which recently returned to New ford from the Pacific, is beyond question the oldest vessel in the United States, We have so often sketched her prolonged career that a repetition is perha unnecessary, pina sag . always, the memorable fact that she was the first ship that hoisted the American flag in the river Thames at the conclusion of the war of the American Revolution. She has already outlived on the ocean many of her more pretentious juniors, and promises to do good service yet to her owners. Copper Mrxes.—The late news from the southern part of the State inform us that valuable copper mines have been discovered within twenty-six miles of Fort Yuma. The discovery, if true, will prove important, The copper mines of Arizona are probably the richest in the world, but they can scarcely be made available at present, from the fact that they are two or three hundred miles from navigable streams. Fort Yuma is located at the junction of the Colorado and Gila rivers, and the Colorado to that point is navigable. Lamarrine’s Grape Cror.—There is good news for the friends of M. Lamartine. The grape crop of the illustrious poet is this year magnificent. Around his vineyards the hail had injured the vines—his alone were preserved, It is estimated that his crop will reach two thousand five hundred hogsheads of wine. The journal which farnishes this piece of intelligence, adds that M. Lamartine is retained at Macon, by a return of the painful rheumatism, to which he is so often subject, Honry Bers.—Appleton & Co., of San Jose, have be i A swarms of bees, the first of which was brought across the Isthmus in 1853. Several subsequent attempts were made to bring hives by the same route, but nearly all of them died before their arrival in California, It is said that they make quite as much honey from wild mustard and other plants in California, as in any other part of the world, They are at present worth $100 per hive. Ture American Cuma Trape.—The culture of tea in the United States isan attempt the importance of which is not generally known, The trade with China is rapidly increasing. In 1849 we imported 18,000,000 pounds tea. During the last year the import has reached about 40,000,000 pounds. The annual import has varied since 1849 from 18,000,000 to 40,000,000 Ibs,— some years, asin 1853, being 40,000,000 Ibs., and in 1855, 31,000,000 pounds. Ricn Quarrz.—A company, consisting of four Austrians and an Irishman, have recently struck a rich quartz vein at Brown’s Flat, a short distance from Columbia, Tuolumne county. We learn that on Thursday last, they pounded out, in mortars, about ten pounds of gold, They have been working the vein about six weeks, and estimate the value of the quartz already taken out at $20,000, ExrRavaGANnt.—-The Common Council of New York have adopted a plan, previously acted favorably upon by the other branch of the city government, for a city hall, the cost of which is to be $5,000,000. The Times of that city calls upon Mayor Wood to veto the matter, as a piece of extravagance which the citizens will not submit to be taxed for. Srray Banres.—A San Francisco paper of Wednesday last, says: ‘The police station was beseiged yesterday with parents in search of lost children, In two instances the estrays were recovered. There is yet a little girl at the station house anda boy at the corner of Sacramento and Kearny sts., waiting to be claimed.” Orrer Hentina on THE Coast.—The Santa Barbara Gazette notices the departure on a six months cruise, after otter, of the schooner Alexander Fisher. The vessel was recently purchased by a company of enterprising young men engaged in hunting sea otter along the coast, Quarrz.—Some vuluable pieces of gold-hearing quartz have lately been taken from the lead on Big Canon, about a mile and a half north of Placerville. The lead is about three feet thick, and in most of the quartz taken out, gold is plainly perceptible. A mill will be erected there early in the spring. Extensive Fruminc.—The work of grading for the monster flume, which is to lay baye the rich deposits in the bed of Feather river, oppor site Oroville, next summer. has been commenced. This is said to be one of the most extensive fluming operations on that river. Fioons in InpiA.—The recent floods in British India. according to the Calcutta correspondent of the London Times, swept away whole towns from the face of the earth, and caused the loss between 4,000 and 5,000 lives, besides the destruction of incalculable amounts of property. A Kansas Swinpter.—Col. J. W. White, of Kansas, who has been raising men and money at the South for the Southern cause in Kansas, has decamped with the funds, and left his men destitute and penniless, somewhere in Georgia, Destructing Frres.—The total aggregate of losses by fire in the Atlantic States during the month of November, was $2,445,000. There were twenty-two fires in which the loss exceeded $10,000.
