Decline of the Imagination. One of the most painful experiences of life is that of being disenchanted. In youth, all things are apt to stand before us in the light of imagination or the color and glow of feeling. Men are demi-gods. Artists and poets are divine, The scenes of which a child hears, the places described to him, the historic monuments of which he reads, the foreign cities or memorable laces, all are fashioned to his mind with won‘ous aspects. The world which a child sees he follows after, without ever finding. It is the fabled chase after a rainbow. This use of the imagination may be unskillful, and it may carry its pains and penalties with it, in the ease of rsons not robust ia underlying common sense, et we are sure that the habit of painting life in pleasing colors conduces to happiness, and ber means, to some extent, to virtue, We Id be unwilling to see things just as they are, except in cases where we were called upon to deal with them and needed to know them exactly, But, in walking eqeanne sb we would not for the world, gs A see things in their literaloese. We soften hard men, From one beautiful igure we work symetry ina face. We imagine gayety and satisfaction in hundreds of hearts that perhaps would not justify such ascriptions. Children are always beautiful to us, no matter how homely ; youth has around ita halo; and we see them as they stand against a rosy cloud for a background. Workmen, day laborers, and the wholo agile swarm of human ants thatrun in such endless rounds up and down before us, we would not willingly see them as they would be if all their cares, their frets, their prejudices, their ignorance and moral discolorations lay upon them plainly, We see hearty strength, valiant self-reliance, contentment in well doing, and humble usefulness, But as time matures the physical intellect, the intellect of the whole truth, this spontaneous painting power is apt to wane and fail; and every eteo of decline from this habit is a step toward discontent and unhappiness. A man pre 4 make bis happiness depend upon action, by great industry find sources of satisfaction. Bat, in so far as one’s happiness depends singly upon his habits of thought and inspection, the literalising of his mind is like the drying up of moisture in the air—there are no clouds for beauty and shadows, no rain and no dew, but a bald heaven above and an arid earth beneath. In this process of disenchantment, how painfal it is to see our heroes turned inside out! to live until we feel how common-place the things were that used to thrill us with enthusiasm! With what regrets we read the books now that used to inspire our childhood and find them fame. Thus we seem to find out one a after another; and, with every mile-stone in life, we are —_. to drop some fair thing that once seemed divine, but held too close to the eyes, decame a grinning idol. For ourselves, we could not wish to outlive the power of clothing nature and human life with the colors which kindly feelings and teeming imagination give. Even nature is kind to ue, and softens all things with genial colors, mos3es the decaying roof, and musters on the eurface of overy rock thin and Mat forests of ne—Llenry Ward Beecher. How ro Live Lone.—More le die annually from a want of sufficient brain-work than from an excess of it. Good health of body and mind depends on each having its full share of exercise and work, and it would seem from history that we can better afford the body to be in a state of lassitude than allow the intelleetual powers to lie dormant, There may be @ physical cause for this, from ithe fact that much thought induces a temperate life; but the except ons to such a rule would be found so enormous as to show that it was not the only secret, We are rather inclined to think that the most general rule and the one capable of the broadest application, by which to attain to that great desideratum, ‘‘a green old age,” is to give the mind full piay— expand the powers of thought by reading and observation, and to banish the fear of death, resulting from an exhausted Ra ses geil We have shown to what ages the old philosophers lived, and mony modern ones have been equally longlived. Galileo and Roger Bacon both lived to 78, Buffon died at 81, Goethe and West were 82, Franklin and Herschel lived to 84, and Newton and Voltaire did not finish their labors antil 85. The astronomer Halley was 86 at his decease, and Sir Hans Soane was 93. Michel Angelo and Titian, the great masters of art, lived to 96. These, surely, are instances enough to stimulate the individual who wishes to live long, not to forget to cultivate tho intellectual faculties and imagination, while he is attendin to the physical aids of exercise, cleanliness an temperanee. We all think too much of the body and neglect the higher and diviner part within us; we cleanse the temple and adorn its pillars, but we forget that the dweller therein also requires attention and care. .

They cost $300 per thousand. ~ ee ‘rom the Providence (R. 1.) Press.) We have listened the récital of a oment Socata? that, were not the circumstances already matters of , would seem too. strange for credibility. About ten years there resided in Prglas sn captal, his and an onl elds oy of @ oF Bix v his the years. A difficuliy ha arisen between an aunt of the boy and parents, the weman maliciously abdacted child and escaped with him to this country, and found her way Providence. Here she soon wearied of her illcome charge, and finally abandoned e Providence, whilet she left for the Far West, whence it is not known that she ever returned. The young English lad, thas left without home or protection, of course soon entered dpon a career that brought him tothe notice of the magistrates, and be was sent to the Reform School, The salutary training that he received in that institation wrought a change in the boy and two years ago he was diseharged as reformed, Since that time he has been constantly under the observation of the Superintendent and Trustees, and in no particular has he seemed to swerve from the right principles ineulcated at the Reform Sebool. The aunt on leaving England had assumed a false name ; but the boy always treasured in his heart the name and address of his father; and after his discharge from the Reform Sehool by the advice of Mr. Cushman, he wrote to his parents informing them of his condition and oireumstances. The effect of that letter may scarcely be imagined—described it cannot be. It was as if the grave had , and their eldest born had come forth to greet them. The father was in the East Indies, in command of a ship of which he was a large owner. When in a distant port he received the tidings that his son was alive, he immediately sold his interest in the vessel, resigned the command, and embarked for England, writing to his sonin Providence that God willing, he would spcedily see him face to face. After the captain’s arrival in England, and 6 hurried visit to his wife, he re-embarked at once for this country to reclaim his long-lost son to his heart and home. Alas for the futility of allearthly hopes! When three days out from Englund a furious gale made havoc on the ship, and a falling spar struck the father’s head, causing almost instant death, Slowly and sadly the storm-stricken ship toiled back to the port of departure, and the woful tidings were sent to the mother who was wearily counting the weeks that must elapse before her husband and the first born son would be restored to her arms. Although a sailor’s wife, and accustomed to look calmly on the peri!s of navigation, this sudden dispelling of the pleasant vision quite overcame her. She was seized with pangs of premature labor, and ina few hours joined her husband in the world where separations come not, and storms and shipwrecks are unknown. The letter announcing the death of bis father and mother, as we have narrated, reached the the boy in this city on Tuesday last, and as may well be supposed, overwhelmed him with grief and a sense of utter desolation. Let us hope that He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, will so guide and support this youth, so singularly and deeply afflicted, that he may be enabled to recognize with filial love the Father who chasteneth whomsoever He loveth. Tus O.p Earta.—In some places, the chalk cliffs of Eogland are a thousand feet thick, and below this is a bed of rocks of a different kind, another thousand feet in thickness, crowded as well as the chalk, with the remains of the marine animals. Beneath this whole two thousand feet there is another rock full of driftwood, fresh water shells, and the remains of venomous lizards, resembling crocodiles, all so deposited as to show that this rock was formed at the mouth of a great river, like the Nile or Missisve No doubt, after this river had long rolled its course over that part of the world which isnow the north of Europe, the land slowly settled down beneath the sea, as Greenland is now settling, where it remained through the unmeasured ages required to form the whole two thousand feet of rock which now rests upon it, from the remains of marine animals, in the same way that rock isnow forming along the telegraphic plateau ; after which the whole was slowly heaved up above the sea by the force of the internal fires of the earth, as Sweden, Norway and Chile are being elevated at the present day. The earth, without form and void, was in existence millions of years before man was created as recerded in the Bible.—~Scientific American, 3 s Ff i z a a5 Sinaviarn Inowwent.—A singular incident is related in the Memorial de Courtrais of France, as having just happened toa hotel-keeper in that town. He had sent a lad, about seventeen with 5,000f, of French gold to be exchanged for Belgian bank notes, which the messenger regularly effected, arget. five notes of 1,000 each but which he lost on his way home. While the hotel-keeper was lamenting over,bis loss a little gir! of five or six years of age, living a short istance from his house, brought to her mother a piece of paper, on which was a small vignette and which she said her brother had cut out with a pair of scissors froma larger piece, The mother recognized it as belonging to a bank note, ran to the child, and found near hima 1,000f note cut into eleven pieces, The ohild on being questioned where he found the note, and whether he had any others, began to ory; but at length said that he had found them in the street, and had put four others in a little box among his toys, intending to cut the piotures from each. The loss of tho hotel-keeper having become known, the woman restored him the notes which remained whole, as well as the pieces of the other, These latter having been carefully put together, were taken by the bank and cashed the next day. Taw Horse ov tas Desenr.—Layard, the explorer of Ninevah, who ia ae familiar with Arabs as he is with antiquities, gives, in his late work on Assyria, some curious details respecting the true horse of the desert, Contrary to the popular notion, the real Arabian is celebrated lese for unrivalled swiftness than for extraordinary powers of endurance. Its usual =. are but two—n quick walk, often averagng four or five miles an hour, and a half running canter, for only when pursued, does the ouin pot his mare to full speed. It is the distance they will travel in emergenoy, the weight they will carry. and the comparative trifle of food they require, which render the Arabian horses so valuable. Layard says he knew of a celebrated mare whioh had carried two men in chain armor beyond the reach of some Aneyza pursuers, This mare had hardly more than two handfulls of barley in twentyfour hours, exeept in the spring, when the pastures were green; and itis only the mares of the wealthy Bedouins that get evon this small allowance. The consequence is, that, except in tho spring, the Arab horse is lean and unsightly. They are never placed under cover in summer, nor protected from the biting winds of the desart in winter. The saddle is rarely taken from their backs, Stvevunarn Deata.—The Boston Herald puts forth an account of the death of Henry Black, of Penn., who undertook to sever the head of a hen, was attacked by a rooster, which spurred him on the hand into an artery. About two weeks after the accident he was attacked with intense pain, a sickening sensation of the heart, and his suffering beoame insupportable. At this date a remarkable occurrence took place. He drew his entire frame together, as though to gr strength for an act, and his voice tarehe forth like the crowing of a rooster. This was repeated from time to time, and such was the similarity of voices, that the outside listeners asserted their belief that it was a roester. After four days of indiscribable suffering he died and, crowed no more. ‘ Sacenments Yrbertisements. ~ SNEATH AND ARNOLD, No 193 J Street, Cor. of 7th, Sacramento. IMPORTERS AND Who Grocers !!

The invention consists of forcing Quicksilver into blocks of wood, which are used as false bottoms forsluices, thereby giving » Quicksilver surface until the blocks are worn out, As the blocks are gradually worn by the gravel, a fresh supply of Quicksilver is constantly exposed, ready to amalgamate the gold that comes in contact with them, The machines for forcing Quicksilver into the blocks, are of simple construction, and durable, One man can press n one hundred pounds of Quicksilver in a day, which will give a hundred feet of Quicksilver surface, and the process is easily learned, The shop cost of the machines, are from $14 to $20, according to the size. The following letters from practial Miners at Michigan Bluffs, Placer County, where the PATENT RIFFLES were first introduced, will show the estimation in which they are held by those who have used them :— MicniGAN Biurrs, Mareh 28th 1859. Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I have used your Patent Quicksilver Block Riffies, and ennsider them the best method for say ing fine gold I have ever used. I used them on the American River this last summer, and found that by using them, I could save at least one-fourth more gold, than by any other Rifles now in use. Hoping that your Rifles will be extensively introduced throughout the State, and meet with the success they deserve, I remain yours truly, GEORGE E, BENNET. MICHIGAN BLUFFS, April 10th 1859, Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I have used your Patent Amalgamating Riffle, and am satisfied that itis a good invention ; we have cleaned up more, and finer gold, than we ever did before in the same length of time, There has not been as much wash running in the gulch as there will be by and by, as the boys have not all commenced washing pay dirt yet, Yours truly, CHAS.

San Francisco, June 21st 1859.—38-6m DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM 1. Resolved, That we re-affirm the principles set forth in the Cincinnati Platform, and rocognize it as an authoritative exposition of the Democratic creed. 2. Resolved, Thatin order to preserve the peace and harmony of the Union, and prevent the frequent recurrence of sectional agitation, it is essential that the people of the Territories should legislate or omit to legislate upon the subject of slavery, as well as upon other matters of domestic policy, according to their own will, without any interference, direct or indirect, on the part of either Congress or the Executive. 3. Resolved, That the right of the people of the Territories to form all their domestic institutions in their own way, is absolute and complete, and that we are unalterably opposed to any interference with such right, either by the Legislative or Exective departments of the General Government. 4. Resolved, That the doctrine of intervention by Congress to establish aslave code for the Territeries, assumed by the Administration adherents, is a gross departure from the principles of the true Democracy, as laid downin the Platform made at Cincinnati, and we repudiate it ag the heresy of a faction and condemn it as an outrage upon the great charter of American Liberty. 5, Resolved, That the Administration of Jas. Buchanan, by its outrages upon the rights of the people of Kansas, its unrelenting proscription of tried and worthy Democrats for the offense of adhering to Democratic principles, . its constant violation of the pledges which brought it into life, its attempts to render the Legislative subject to the Executive Department, and its gross extravagance, mismanagement and corruption, has forfeited the respect and lost the confidence of the American people. 6. Resolved, That the Chief Executive of the nation has broken his pledges to the people of the State of California in regard to the Pacific Railroad, which pledges were announced in his ill-timed letter of 1856, two weeks previous to the election in this State, and that we condemn the Admin. istration for its refusal to place the Central Overland mail on the same footing as to compensation, &¢., as the Southern route. 7. Resolved, That the immediate construction of the Pacific Railroad ought to be encouraged by the Federal and State Governments by all means in their power, and that, meanwhile, the Mail service by the Overland routesshould . be sustained and increased. 8, Resolved, That our State Judiciary system needs a} thorough and complete revision, and that the Constitution should be so changed as to increase the number of Judges of the Supreme Court, and insure a speedy, honest . and faithful administration of Justice. 9. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Convention, Congress should enact a law to protect actual bona fide settlers upon the public lands in their just rights. 10. Resolved, That we, as a Convention representing the true Democracy of California, adhere with unfaltering firmness to the principles of Democracy, as taught by Thomas Jefferson, and which guided the counsels of the immortal Jackson, 11. Resolved, That when this Convention adjourn, its members adjourn to meet, as citizens, at the polls in the ides of September, and that by our labors and our voices there iwe show to the world that the freeman of California aro unbought by Federal patronage, are unawed by Federal pos in defiance of treacherous residents and their CabDissolution of co-Partnership.

Decline of the Imagination. One of the most painful experiences of life is that of being disenchanted. In youth, all things are apt to stand before us in the light of imagination or the color and glow of feeling. Men are demi-gods. Artists and poets are divine, The scenes of which a child hears, the places described to him, the historic monuments of which he reads, the foreign cities or memorable laces, all are fashioned to his mind with won‘ous aspects. The world which a child sees he follows after, without ever finding. It is the fabled chase after a rainbow. This use of the imagination may be unskillful, and it may carry its pains and penalties with it, in the ease of rsons not robust ia underlying common sense, et we are sure that the habit of painting life in pleasing colors conduces to happiness, and ber means, to some extent, to virtue, We Id be unwilling to see things just as they are, except in cases where we were called upon to deal with them and needed to know them exactly, But, in walking eqeanne sb we would not for the world, gs A see things in their literaloese. We soften hard men, From one beautiful igure we work symetry ina face. We imagine gayety and satisfaction in hundreds of hearts that perhaps would not justify such ascriptions. Children are always beautiful to us, no matter how homely ; youth has around ita halo; and we see them as they stand against a rosy cloud for a background. Workmen, day laborers, and the wholo agile swarm of human ants thatrun in such endless rounds up and down before us, we would not willingly see them as they would be if all their cares, their frets, their prejudices, their ignorance and moral discolorations lay upon them plainly, We see hearty strength, valiant self-reliance, contentment in well doing, and humble usefulness, But as time matures the physical intellect, the intellect of the whole truth, this spontaneous painting power is apt to wane and fail; and every eteo of decline from this habit is a step toward discontent and unhappiness. A man pre 4 make bis happiness depend upon action, by great industry find sources of satisfaction. Bat, in so far as one’s happiness depends singly upon his habits of thought and inspection, the literalising of his mind is like the drying up of moisture in the air—there are no clouds for beauty and shadows, no rain and no dew, but a bald heaven above and an arid earth beneath. In this process of disenchantment, how painfal it is to see our heroes turned inside out! to live until we feel how common-place the things were that used to thrill us with enthusiasm! With what regrets we read the books now that used to inspire our childhood and find them fame. Thus we seem to find out one a after another; and, with every mile-stone in life, we are —_. to drop some fair thing that once seemed divine, but held too close to the eyes, decame a grinning idol. For ourselves, we could not wish to outlive the power of clothing nature and human life with the colors which kindly feelings and teeming imagination give. Even nature is kind to ue, and softens all things with genial colors, mos3es the decaying roof, and musters on the eurface of overy rock thin and Mat forests of ne—Llenry Ward Beecher. How ro Live Lone.—More le die annually from a want of sufficient brain-work than from an excess of it. Good health of body and mind depends on each having its full share of exercise and work, and it would seem from history that we can better afford the body to be in a state of lassitude than allow the intelleetual powers to lie dormant, There may be @ physical cause for this, from ithe fact that much thought induces a temperate life; but the except ons to such a rule would be found so enormous as to show that it was not the only secret, We are rather inclined to think that the most general rule and the one capable of the broadest application, by which to attain to that great desideratum, ‘‘a green old age,” is to give the mind full piay— expand the powers of thought by reading and observation, and to banish the fear of death, resulting from an exhausted Ra ses geil We have shown to what ages the old philosophers lived, and mony modern ones have been equally longlived. Galileo and Roger Bacon both lived to 78, Buffon died at 81, Goethe and West were 82, Franklin and Herschel lived to 84, and Newton and Voltaire did not finish their labors antil 85. The astronomer Halley was 86 at his decease, and Sir Hans Soane was 93. Michel Angelo and Titian, the great masters of art, lived to 96. These, surely, are instances enough to stimulate the individual who wishes to live long, not to forget to cultivate tho intellectual faculties and imagination, while he is attendin to the physical aids of exercise, cleanliness an temperanee. We all think too much of the body and neglect the higher and diviner part within us; we cleanse the temple and adorn its pillars, but we forget that the dweller therein also requires attention and care. .

They cost $300 per thousand. ~ ee ‘rom the Providence (R. 1.) Press.) We have listened the récital of a oment Socata? that, were not the circumstances already matters of , would seem too. strange for credibility. About ten years there resided in Prglas sn captal, his and an onl elds oy of @ oF Bix v his the years. A difficuliy ha arisen between an aunt of the boy and parents, the weman maliciously abdacted child and escaped with him to this country, and found her way Providence. Here she soon wearied of her illcome charge, and finally abandoned e Providence, whilet she left for the Far West, whence it is not known that she ever returned. The young English lad, thas left without home or protection, of course soon entered dpon a career that brought him tothe notice of the magistrates, and be was sent to the Reform School, The salutary training that he received in that institation wrought a change in the boy and two years ago he was diseharged as reformed, Since that time he has been constantly under the observation of the Superintendent and Trustees, and in no particular has he seemed to swerve from the right principles ineulcated at the Reform Sebool. The aunt on leaving England had assumed a false name ; but the boy always treasured in his heart the name and address of his father; and after his discharge from the Reform Sehool by the advice of Mr. Cushman, he wrote to his parents informing them of his condition and oireumstances. The effect of that letter may scarcely be imagined—described it cannot be. It was as if the grave had , and their eldest born had come forth to greet them. The father was in the East Indies, in command of a ship of which he was a large owner. When in a distant port he received the tidings that his son was alive, he immediately sold his interest in the vessel, resigned the command, and embarked for England, writing to his sonin Providence that God willing, he would spcedily see him face to face. After the captain’s arrival in England, and 6 hurried visit to his wife, he re-embarked at once for this country to reclaim his long-lost son to his heart and home. Alas for the futility of allearthly hopes! When three days out from Englund a furious gale made havoc on the ship, and a falling spar struck the father’s head, causing almost instant death, Slowly and sadly the storm-stricken ship toiled back to the port of departure, and the woful tidings were sent to the mother who was wearily counting the weeks that must elapse before her husband and the first born son would be restored to her arms. Although a sailor’s wife, and accustomed to look calmly on the peri!s of navigation, this sudden dispelling of the pleasant vision quite overcame her. She was seized with pangs of premature labor, and ina few hours joined her husband in the world where separations come not, and storms and shipwrecks are unknown. The letter announcing the death of bis father and mother, as we have narrated, reached the the boy in this city on Tuesday last, and as may well be supposed, overwhelmed him with grief and a sense of utter desolation. Let us hope that He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, will so guide and support this youth, so singularly and deeply afflicted, that he may be enabled to recognize with filial love the Father who chasteneth whomsoever He loveth. Tus O.p Earta.—In some places, the chalk cliffs of Eogland are a thousand feet thick, and below this is a bed of rocks of a different kind, another thousand feet in thickness, crowded as well as the chalk, with the remains of the marine animals. Beneath this whole two thousand feet there is another rock full of driftwood, fresh water shells, and the remains of venomous lizards, resembling crocodiles, all so deposited as to show that this rock was formed at the mouth of a great river, like the Nile or Missisve No doubt, after this river had long rolled its course over that part of the world which isnow the north of Europe, the land slowly settled down beneath the sea, as Greenland is now settling, where it remained through the unmeasured ages required to form the whole two thousand feet of rock which now rests upon it, from the remains of marine animals, in the same way that rock isnow forming along the telegraphic plateau ; after which the whole was slowly heaved up above the sea by the force of the internal fires of the earth, as Sweden, Norway and Chile are being elevated at the present day. The earth, without form and void, was in existence millions of years before man was created as recerded in the Bible.—~Scientific American, 3 s Ff i z a a5 Sinaviarn Inowwent.—A singular incident is related in the Memorial de Courtrais of France, as having just happened toa hotel-keeper in that town. He had sent a lad, about seventeen with 5,000f, of French gold to be exchanged for Belgian bank notes, which the messenger regularly effected, arget. five notes of 1,000 each but which he lost on his way home. While the hotel-keeper was lamenting over,bis loss a little gir! of five or six years of age, living a short istance from his house, brought to her mother a piece of paper, on which was a small vignette and which she said her brother had cut out with a pair of scissors froma larger piece, The mother recognized it as belonging to a bank note, ran to the child, and found near hima 1,000f note cut into eleven pieces, The ohild on being questioned where he found the note, and whether he had any others, began to ory; but at length said that he had found them in the street, and had put four others in a little box among his toys, intending to cut the piotures from each. The loss of tho hotel-keeper having become known, the woman restored him the notes which remained whole, as well as the pieces of the other, These latter having been carefully put together, were taken by the bank and cashed the next day. Taw Horse ov tas Desenr.—Layard, the explorer of Ninevah, who ia ae familiar with Arabs as he is with antiquities, gives, in his late work on Assyria, some curious details respecting the true horse of the desert, Contrary to the popular notion, the real Arabian is celebrated lese for unrivalled swiftness than for extraordinary powers of endurance. Its usual =. are but two—n quick walk, often averagng four or five miles an hour, and a half running canter, for only when pursued, does the ouin pot his mare to full speed. It is the distance they will travel in emergenoy, the weight they will carry. and the comparative trifle of food they require, which render the Arabian horses so valuable. Layard says he knew of a celebrated mare whioh had carried two men in chain armor beyond the reach of some Aneyza pursuers, This mare had hardly more than two handfulls of barley in twentyfour hours, exeept in the spring, when the pastures were green; and itis only the mares of the wealthy Bedouins that get evon this small allowance. The consequence is, that, except in tho spring, the Arab horse is lean and unsightly. They are never placed under cover in summer, nor protected from the biting winds of the desart in winter. The saddle is rarely taken from their backs, Stvevunarn Deata.—The Boston Herald puts forth an account of the death of Henry Black, of Penn., who undertook to sever the head of a hen, was attacked by a rooster, which spurred him on the hand into an artery. About two weeks after the accident he was attacked with intense pain, a sickening sensation of the heart, and his suffering beoame insupportable. At this date a remarkable occurrence took place. He drew his entire frame together, as though to gr strength for an act, and his voice tarehe forth like the crowing of a rooster. This was repeated from time to time, and such was the similarity of voices, that the outside listeners asserted their belief that it was a roester. After four days of indiscribable suffering he died and, crowed no more. ‘ Sacenments Yrbertisements. ~ SNEATH AND ARNOLD, No 193 J Street, Cor. of 7th, Sacramento. IMPORTERS AND Who Grocers !!

The invention consists of forcing Quicksilver into blocks of wood, which are used as false bottoms forsluices, thereby giving » Quicksilver surface until the blocks are worn out, As the blocks are gradually worn by the gravel, a fresh supply of Quicksilver is constantly exposed, ready to amalgamate the gold that comes in contact with them, The machines for forcing Quicksilver into the blocks, are of simple construction, and durable, One man can press n one hundred pounds of Quicksilver in a day, which will give a hundred feet of Quicksilver surface, and the process is easily learned, The shop cost of the machines, are from $14 to $20, according to the size. The following letters from practial Miners at Michigan Bluffs, Placer County, where the PATENT RIFFLES were first introduced, will show the estimation in which they are held by those who have used them :— MicniGAN Biurrs, Mareh 28th 1859. Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I have used your Patent Quicksilver Block Riffies, and ennsider them the best method for say ing fine gold I have ever used. I used them on the American River this last summer, and found that by using them, I could save at least one-fourth more gold, than by any other Rifles now in use. Hoping that your Rifles will be extensively introduced throughout the State, and meet with the success they deserve, I remain yours truly, GEORGE E, BENNET. MICHIGAN BLUFFS, April 10th 1859, Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I have used your Patent Amalgamating Riffle, and am satisfied that itis a good invention ; we have cleaned up more, and finer gold, than we ever did before in the same length of time, There has not been as much wash running in the gulch as there will be by and by, as the boys have not all commenced washing pay dirt yet, Yours truly, CHAS. W. COOK. Iam now for the first time, trying tointroduce the AmaLGAMATING RirfLe into the mines generally.

San Francisco, June 21st 1859.—38-6m DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM 1. Resolved, That we re-affirm the principles set forth in the Cincinnati Platform, and rocognize it as an authoritative exposition of the Democratic creed. 2. Resolved, Thatin order to preserve the peace and harmony of the Union, and prevent the frequent recurrence of sectional agitation, it is essential that the people of the Territories should legislate or omit to legislate upon the subject of slavery, as well as upon other matters of domestic policy, according to their own will, without any interference, direct or indirect, on the part of either Congress or the Executive. 3. Resolved, That the right of the people of the Territories to form all their domestic institutions in their own way, is absolute and complete, and that we are unalterably opposed to any interference with such right, either by the Legislative or Exective departments of the General Government. 4. Resolved, That the doctrine of intervention by Congress to establish aslave code for the Territeries, assumed by the Administration adherents, is a gross departure from the principles of the true Democracy, as laid downin the Platform made at Cincinnati, and we repudiate it ag the heresy of a faction and condemn it as an outrage upon the great charter of American Liberty. 5, Resolved, That the Administration of Jas. Buchanan, by its outrages upon the rights of the people of Kansas, its unrelenting proscription of tried and worthy Democrats for the offense of adhering to Democratic principles, . its constant violation of the pledges which brought it into life, its attempts to render the Legislative subject to the Executive Department, and its gross extravagance, mismanagement and corruption, has forfeited the respect and lost the confidence of the American people. 6. Resolved, That the Chief Executive of the nation has broken his pledges to the people of the State of California in regard to the Pacific Railroad, which pledges were announced in his ill-timed letter of 1856, two weeks previous to the election in this State, and that we condemn the Admin. istration for its refusal to place the Central Overland mail on the same footing as to compensation, &¢., as the Southern route. 7. Resolved, That the immediate construction of the Pacific Railroad ought to be encouraged by the Federal and State Governments by all means in their power, and that, meanwhile, the Mail service by the Overland routesshould . be sustained and increased. 8, Resolved, That our State Judiciary system needs a} thorough and complete revision, and that the Constitution should be so changed as to increase the number of Judges of the Supreme Court, and insure a speedy, honest . and faithful administration of Justice. 9. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Convention, Congress should enact a law to protect actual bona fide settlers upon the public lands in their just rights. 10. Resolved, That we, as a Convention representing the true Democracy of California, adhere with unfaltering firmness to the principles of Democracy, as taught by Thomas Jefferson, and which guided the counsels of the immortal Jackson, 11. Resolved, That when this Convention adjourn, its members adjourn to meet, as citizens, at the polls in the ides of September, and that by our labors and our voices there iwe show to the world that the freeman of California aro unbought by Federal patronage, are unawed by Federal pos in defiance of treacherous residents and their CabDissolution of co-Partnership.
