SaLMon Surrerkers.— According to all ac counts there must be an immense amount of suffering among the Salmon river adventurers. Owing tothe scarcity of proper food, scurvy is making sad ravages on the . ) constitutions of the miners; besides, large jnumbers have lost their feet and bands from the effects of the cold; even plain bread and the coarest meat is very scarce, / and the prices so bigh that but few can pur—— . chase enough to supply the demands of na. ture. But all these evile might in the end be overcome, in so far as they injure indi. Viuual sufferers, if it were not for an insurmountable obstacle placed in the way by . nature, The mines, according to the best . authorities, are wot of sufficient extent to . furnish claims for one-fifth of those on their . way there; and though they are in iustan. . ces very rich, the mines that really exist /cannot be worked more than four months iu the year. So that the few who are for . tanate enough to obtain claims wi!l be extremely fortunate If they make both ends . meet during the entire year, Is it not the . heighth of folly for wen who are making a ‘living in California, or who bave’even the prospect of making a living here, to risk their lives ina region now overcrowded with a popolation that cannot find the means of subsistence? (S. F. Journal. Great Sart Lake.—The water-marks . show that the lake is now a mere remoant of what was ove of the imgbty water col lections of the earth, Aloug the base of the mountain wall of the valley, if we aay so term the limits of the basin, are distinet water-marks, the more clevated order being from 75 to 100 feet above the level of the valley. They are alinost conclusive ev. idence that a great sea ance existed in .

Near the lake’s center there is quite alas ge island, upon which these volcauic indications are equally emphatic, Kyicuts or Tut GoLpeN Circie.—Take a mup of the westeru hemisphere, and find the island of Cuba; place ove leg of @ pai of dividers iu the center of the island, extend the other to the 36th parallel of north latitude, and sweep acircle.

A single giance aud @ moment’s reflection will convince the examiner that the territory, and waters included, would torm one of the richest and most commanding em. pires on the earth, This, reader, is what is . meant by the *Golden Circle.’’ To possess . this prodigivusly fertile and commerci lly . important territory, and establish therein a great Slave Empire, was the purpose of the Knights of the Golden Circle, of whom you . bave read in newspapers,— [Sierra News, . .

The position we hold among the nations of the earth is undoubtedly onerous, It is that of challengers, We must be ready at at times to meet and to repel any power upon the seas. Whatever acience may conceive or art effect we must be prepared to meet with equal ecience and at least equal art. If we fallone point below, we are lost. It is our businees to keep ahead in thie particalar work of making the safest and most destructive engine of warfare that will float. From the earliest times it was our aim to build the best sailing shipa, and man them with the best sailors. Except duriog the diegraceful times of our Stuart kinge, we succeeded in this object, and our sbips were the best, and our sailors the most expert io the world, But withio our own memory it has beeo discovered that sailing ships are us lese against vessels impelled hy steam, and we bave started again upon the competition, and formed a steam navy which ie ouparige to apy in the world, Again, the proof has been given that steamships formed of wood are nseless against steamehips with iron mail, and again it is necessary for us to start upon a vew competition, aud agaia to outstrip our rivals, It may be a hardehip—no doubt it i a hardship, but it is one forced upon us by the necessity of seli preservation, The condition of our national existence is that we shall be at any given moment in possession of the most effective fleet. We may have to break it up, reconstruct it, turn our suilin, ships into steamers, our steamers into ironsides, our irousides into rame, our rams, if you please, into electric batteries, or inetroments for concentrating sunbeams or any other wild imagination to which the future may give reality. But, whatever the strongest engine of warfare at any moment may be, of that we ought to have the greatest force. If we can but afford to do thie, we can not afford to keep up our position in the world, It is, in fact, the one thing we have to do, Now, there can be no doubt that at this momeut our business in thie respect ie to have at once, and witbout allowing to any other nation @ moment’s étart, the greatest force of invulnerable vessels, carrying the heaviest armament which artcan produce. All other things are secondary to this, Inland forts may be very excellent things; if #0, let us construct them, Outlying forte, which will bear the recoil of heavy ordnance that nu floating thing could endure, also may bave their use, aud if they have aby use, money will be cheaply spent upon them. Bat our first and vital necessity is to keep the supremacy of the seas, Before all things we require a sufficiency of iron batteries to be able to cover our coasts in case of sudden quarrel, and, when this bas been provided for, we require a fleet of seagoing ironsides which which will be able to . Maintain our empire throughout the globe, wherever our flag fies, and to meet any of those novel engines which our enemies may put ferth.— [London Times, April 4th. oo Tux Accunsep Agitators.—Gen, McDowell hax been very geuerally represented as seeking to rival the young General commandiug, and to procure his removal, with the hope of bimeelf attaining to bis position, The friends of General McDowell declare that he bas vot sungit the chief command, . and bas beew in no way instrumental iv obsirncting the execution of the plans of Gen. McClellan, The antagonism iu which it bas been attempted to place Gen. McDowell and Gen.

They put aside the legitimate businers of Cungrers and of the government, . aod, Nero-like, revel in their cruelties, while . the heart of the nation bleeds from the . wounds they have inflicted. .

Owing tothe scarcity of proper food, scurvy is making sad ravages on the . ) constitutions of the miners; besides, large jnumbers have lost their feet and bands from the effects of the cold; even plain bread and the coarest meat is very scarce, / and the prices so bigh that but few can pur—— . chase enough to supply the demands of na. ture.

The position we hold among the nations of the earth is undoubtedly onerous, It is that of challengers, We must be ready at at times to meet and to repel any power upon the seas. Whatever acience may conceive or art effect we must be prepared to meet with equal ecience and at least equal art. If we fallone point below, we are lost. It is our businees to keep ahead in thie particalar work of making the safest and most destructive engine of warfare that will float. From the earliest times it was our aim to build the best sailing shipa, and man them with the best sailors. Except duriog the diegraceful times of our Stuart kinge, we succeeded in this object, and our sbips were the best, and our sailors the most expert io the world, But withio our own memory it has beeo discovered that sailing ships are us lese against vessels impelled hy steam, and we bave started again upon the competition, and formed a steam navy which ie ouparige to apy in the world, Again, the proof has been given that steamships formed of wood are nseless against steamehips with iron mail, and again it is necessary for us to start upon a vew competition, aud agaia to outstrip our rivals, It may be a hardehip—no doubt it i a hardship, but it is one forced upon us by the necessity of seli preservation, The condition of our national existence is that we shall be at any given moment in possession of the most effective fleet. We may have to break it up, reconstruct it, turn our suilin, ships into steamers, our steamers into ironsides, our irousides into rame, our rams, if you please, into electric batteries, or inetroments for concentrating sunbeams or any other wild imagination to which the future may give reality. But, whatever the strongest engine of warfare at any moment may be, of that we ought to have the greatest force. If we can but afford to do thie, we can not afford to keep up our position in the world, It is, in fact, the one thing we have to do, Now, there can be no doubt that at this momeut our business in thie respect ie to have at once, and witbout allowing to any other nation @ moment’s étart, the greatest force of invulnerable vessels, carrying the heaviest armament which artcan produce. All other things are secondary to this, Inland forts may be very excellent things; if #0, let us construct them, Outlying forte, which will bear the recoil of heavy ordnance that nu floating thing could endure, also may bave their use, aud if they have aby use, money will be cheaply spent upon them. Bat our first and vital necessity is to keep the supremacy of the seas, Before all things we require a sufficiency of iron batteries to be able to cover our coasts in case of sudden quarrel, and, when this bas been provided for, we require a fleet of seagoing ironsides which which will be able to . Maintain our empire throughout the globe, wherever our flag fies, and to meet any of those novel engines which our enemies may put ferth.— [London Times, April 4th. oo Tux Accunsep Agitators.—Gen, McDowell hax been very geuerally represented as seeking to rival the young General commandiug, and to procure his removal, with the hope of bimeelf attaining to bis position, The friends of General McDowell declare that he bas vot sungit the chief command, . and bas beew in no way instrumental iv obsirncting the execution of the plans of Gen.
