Quartz Cur Quartz.—A party nota thousand miles from Oroville, had a quartz ledge and mill which it was found desirable to dispose of. Procuring some really valuable quartz, in which the precious metal was plainly visible, they announced their willingness for parties desiring to purchase to gest the ledge. This was accepted by **party of the second part,’’ who proceeded to prospect quartz procured for the occasion, by the “party of the first part, first aforesaid.’ The party proposing to pur. chase knew the quartz was valuable on . sight, but desiring to parchase cheap, were not particularly anxious to produce a rich ee ee prospect, and deposited a tallow candle or two in the arastra, The grease prevented amalgamation, andthe rich quartz was duly crushed, then ground into impalpable powder, but produced a very diminutive prospect. The ledge was pronounced comparatively valueless, and was purchased cheap, by the prospecting “party of the second part, aforesaid.” Of course, the purchasers found no more valuable quartz, and were flat broke in a few months, The . “party of the first part”? went into a river operation last summer and has not seen the color of gold “since the date thereof,” They met in our streets the other day, and, making a common purse of such fragments of dimes as were to be found upon their persons, visited an open bar and renewed . amicable relations. —[Butte Record. Ricw Drscoverr at Siiver City.—A Washoe correspondent of the Bulletin thus alludes to the newest and richest strike at Silver City, about which there has been considerable talk, It willbe seen that the claimants of good leads in Washoe have to be meu of pluck and revolvers; “Four hundred feet from the road, on the hill, I espied a house—which looked . very much like a fort, with from 30 to 40 men armed with guns, marching back and . . forth, On my making an attempt to climb . the hill, the men stood to arms ; but a com. panion of mine—a Colonel, too—held up. . his white handkerchief, and we got up all right. The claim is, undoubtedly, one of . the richest discovered in Silver City. The . . ledge ie #bout four feet thick, with abont . five feet of the pay streak. The rock is of . a sandy decomposed quartz, easily worked ; . 'and lam told it will average $500 to the} ton. Unfortunately, there are three or. ifour claimants to the ground; and it is . mere than I can say to whom it belongs. Tae Cartive Campren.—It will be remembered, says the Portland Advertiser, that in the massacre of immigrants to this country, which occurred in August last, it . was feared that some little children had . been captured by the Indians. We are informed that two Snake Indians who have Nez Perces wives, and speak their Janguage have been sent by Agent Cain into tbe . Souke country to ascertain if any tidings . can be obtained of any children in the hands . of those Indiaus. It is believed they will . get the children, if there be any alive, and . bring them in, The Indians intimated before they left, that the snow would be so deep, that they could not bring them in before spring, but if they found them alive they promised to stay with them, until such time as they could return safely with the children. These . two Indians started about the middle of November last, since which nothing has been heard from them, . AN Inisu Parnior.—Terrence Bellew Me. Manus, an Irish patriot, died at San Fran. cisco on the 15th iust., aged fifty-two years. The Monitor sketching his life, says: In 1846 be entered into the Irish move. i ment, and in 1848, when matters came to . . a climax. he joined the leaders of the move: . ' ment, and fell with them. In September of) that year he was tried for high treason along wivh O’Brien, Meagher and Donohue and with them fonod guilty and sentenced to death, The penalty was subsequently . commuted to transportation for life; and he . was accordingly deported in 1849, with his . co-sufferers, to the British penal colony of . . Van Dieman’s Land. He was put at work . in the chaingang, and escaped in 1851, and reached San Francisco, where he made his . residence, broken in constitution, spirit and . fortune. . rr For Tat.--The Democratic and Re. publican papers of St. Louis, are now ine . volved in a bitter discussion upon the ma. . taal charge of each against the other, that . ‘arms bave been distributed to their politi. ‘eal organizations.

Orrice. —We were inthe composing-room of the New York World, on Tuesday, when the President’s Message was picbived and pat in type, and are free to confess that we never before appreciated the possibilities of types, press, ink and paper. Before the Message was received all the preparations had been made for putting itin type, in the quickest possible time. The galleys were arranged in line and divided by “slugs’’ into seventy-five sections, each one numbered in its order. Seventy-five compositors, with their sticks in hand, stood waiting for their “takes”? under the direction of three foremen, At about twenty minutes before one, areporter came running in from the office of Collector Schell, with the Message. in half a minute the editor’s scissors were at work dividing it into seventy-five nearly equal parts, which were numbered in their order and passed out to the compositors in waiting. Io two minutes more all were served and the Message was going ‘up’ under nimble fingers. Then the gabble of the printers gave place to the musie of the types clicking into the sticks. In about twenty minutes more, the whole eight columns stood up in the galleys, and reflected more credit on the printers than on the Presidential author. Then the foreman emptied it into the form, locked them up, lowered them away six stories below, into the embrace of the ten-cylindered monster that stood waiting to multiply it. by twenty thousand to the hour. A turn of a screw, stroke of a hammer, shifting of a bolt, and round went thecylinder, with newspapers flying off from itin every direction, more than three hundred a minute. In about three-quarturs of an hour from the reception of the document it wasin the paper and onthe street, “flying all abroad,” in . the hands of a hundred neweboys, and considerably in advance of allits New York cotemporaries.—[Exchange. Wuat we are Mane Or.—The following is an article by Oliver Wendell Holmes: If the reader of this paper lives another year, his self-conscious principle will have migrated from his present tenement to another, the raw material even of which are not yet put together. A portion of that body which is to be, will ripen in the corn of his next harvest, Another portion of bis future person he will. purchase, or others . will purchase for him, headed up in the form of certain barrels of potatoes. A third fraction is yet to be gathered in the southern rice field. The limbs with which he is then to walk will be clad with flesh borrowed from the tenements of many stalls and pastures, now unconscious of their doom. The very organs of speech with which he is to talk so wisely, plead eloquently, or speak so effectively, must first serve his humble brethren to bleat, to bellow, and for all the varied utterance of bristled or feathered barn-yard life. His bones themselves are, to a great extent in posse, and not esse. A bag of phosphate lime, which he has ordered for his grounds contains « large part of waat is to be his skeleton. And more than all this, by far the greater part of his body is nothing at all but water—the main substance of his scattered members is to be looked for in the reservoir, in the running streams, at the bottom of the well, in the clouds that float over his head, or difused among them all. Tue Nez Perces Dispute.—A_ corres: pondent writes from Walla Walla to the Portland Advertiser, as follows: Our Nez Perces miners are fally in pos. Seasion of their winter quarters on Clear . tiver, making preparations for an early attack upon the gold fields in that region as soon as the weather permits. The government troops found it impracticable to follow them further than the reservation border. Capt. Smith held awa wa with the . chiefs, assuring them that, in the spring, the . authorities would protect the tribe from any infringement upon the rights, &c. In the mean time, I suppose it is the intention of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs of Oregou to ascertain whether those miners are really upon the reservation or not. JAMES BUCHANAN gave the commissioners from the South Carolina seceders a heariny before his Cabinet! What would Jackson or Washington have done under similar circumstances? Suppore the Pennsylvania Whisky Rebellionists had sent commissioners to treat with Washington, what would have been their treatment at his hands? Or suppose the South Carolina Nallifiers had sent commissioners to treat with Old Hickory, how would the old hero have actel? The simple enunciation of these inquiries shows the immeasurable difference between a Washington or a Jackson anda Bucbanan—between a patriot and a traitor . —-between a brave man and a poltroon.— (Shasta Courier.
