THOM, TOR PRINTING NEATLY EXECUT'ED at this office—Corner of Pine and Broad ets. . Tux CoLorapo Desert.—Prof. Blake, jo a recent lecture in San Francisco, speaking of the Colorado Desert, pronounced it as fine a specimen of the desert as that of Lybia or Sabara, It extends from the base of San Bernardino southeasterly, 180 miles, part of ite surface being below our boundary line ia Sonora, Its area is 9,000 equare miles; aud, excepting the Colerado, which cuts across its lower end, is without river or lake. It stretches off to the horizon on all sides without ove glimpee of vegetation or life. Its sirface is ashy and parched; its frame of mountains rise pinnacles of brown rock, bare even of soil. Words are uncqual to the task of describing its apparent ex panee, the purity of its night, the brillianey of the stars tbat overhang it, the tints of the mountains at daybreak, the looming up of these beyond the horizon, the glare of the mid-day sun, the violence of its local storms of dust and sand. Parts are entirely destitute of sand, being smooth, compact, sunbaked clay;—other parts are covered with heaps of sand, disposed like snow-drifts in waves of 50 aud 80 feet in hight. Near the mountains along the Qolorado there is a terrace as flat as the floor, and paved with pebbles of nearly aniform size, of porphyry, jaeper, quartz, cornelian, and agate, all rounded by the action of water, and pol ished till they glisten by the driving sand, In this respect again, the porch of our Great Desert is like that which outlines the Lybian Desert. Doubtless the northern part of the desert is the dry bed of an ancient lake of fresh water,whose beached lines are strongly marked. Probably, at a comparatively recent period, the water of the California Gulf covered all the clay surface of the desert. It lies below their level now, and if a channel were cut through the natural embankment of the Colorado, it would be doubtless covered again with water. It is very probable that the Colorado Desert region was uplifted within historic times, Earthquakes occasionally agitate its surface and in 1852, there were eruptions of mud and hot water in the central parts of the valley. Mvcn PatLosopny ry a Few Worps,— The following extract we make from one of Dr. Holland’s late essays upon homan life, now published in the Spriogleld Republican, The philosophy it inculcates would save a vast deal of unhappiness : It seems a very melancholy thing for a man to carry a mental uleer with bim through life—to feel its pricks and pangs in every effort—to be conscious of its presence every hour—to be eugaged in covering it from eight, or in attempt to deceive the world with regard to it. Life is altogether too good a thing to be spoiled by a little sore, or a large one, when there exists an obvious mode of cure. It is our immense and intense self-consciowsness that stands in our way always in this matter, The truth is that the world does not think . half so much about us as we imagine it does. A man may walk through the city of New. York with a face “as homely asa hedge-fence,” thinking about it aj] the time, and wondering what the people think of it, and not a man of all the throng will even see it. Itis so in all the world at large. Our personal peculiarities, our personal failures, our personal weakness, our pereonal affairs generally, possess very little interest for others. They have enough to do in taking care of themselves, and have weakness and failures and peculiarities 1 . . . enough of their own and if the world should . spurn our well-meant efforts in its behalf, why, let it go. Iteffects nothing to get . sore and sensitive over it. When a man . truly learns of how little importance he is in the world, he is geuerally beyond the danger of becoming gailed by his barness, whatever it may be. San Francisco Wine Vaerrs.—Langly’s new Directory affords the following interesting facts: The sales of native wine in this State are increasing very rapidly. The firm of Sainsevaio & Brother, and Kohler & Frohting, of this city, are extensively engaged iu the trade, The wine cellers of Kohler & Co,, ander the Montgomery Block, cootain over 130,000 gallons, and the new vault of Sainsevain & Brother, is of a capacity to contain over 609 pipes. The vault of the Messrs. Sainsevain is located NUMBER 522 Love’s Labor Lost. The London Times, and other journals in the iaterest of the English Palmerstor Government, have been industrivus and marked in their endeavors to warn and discourage English capitalists from having anything whatever to do with the New American Loan. By this time those Rebel sympathizing jourvals must be conviooed that they bave made egregious ninnies of themselves in this matter of the. Loan, They bave been refusing a favor never asked, and one not likely to be asked, for from present appearance it docs not appear that any attempt will be made to dis of 9° dollar’s worth of the new bonds ia Europe. The loyal citizens of the United States are able to take the whole amount of the Loan, and would be were it three times as large as it is; they are willing to take it, as events have demonstrated, for they have faith in the stability of their Government to meet it; uod they have every reason to beHeve that the integrity, honor and power of the Government will be maintained, for those who are subscribing to the Loan are determined with their own strong hands to sup: port aud uphold the Government to whieh they are willing to trast not only their tortunes, but their sacred bonora, The American people are willing to furnish the United States Government with all the pecwniary aid it requires to putdown Rebellion, aod they are determined that the Govern. ment shall be ina condition to repay al! advances, by using all their physical powers to enable it to crush out Treason and to punish Traitors, The United States Government is a creature of the people ; it. is an engine devised by them for their own protection ; to it the people are indebted for the property and proeperity they pos sees ; aud their conduct of Jate shows that they are willing to hazard life and property in defense of the Government, as without the latter the former would be valueless ; and they lave abundant abilities to faroich both to any amount necessary to protect the Government from the asean)ts of all ite enemies, whether domestic traitors or foreign foes. The American Loan will'not be compelled to seck a market either ion BagJand or France, and all the efforte of. the Palmerstonian journals to depreciate that Joan are just so much “Labor Lost.’? Jo their unhappy domestic troubles, the American people will convince the Bugbish: Palmerston Ministry, and the whole world, that they are able to successfully fight their own battles and to pay their own expenses. They ask for no physical or pecuniary aid from any foreign powers, neither will they submit to impertinent interferenee from any.—[Call. Tae Bareroorey Privrer Boy.— The Pittsburg Morning Ariel, under this caption gives a short etory of a distinguished citizen of Pennsylvania, as follows:— Some forty years ago a barefooted boy flooted down the Susquehanna on a humble raft, and arrived at Harrisburg. He caine from the North, and belonged to a large family; all his worldly goods were tied. up in a little pocket handkerchief. He sougbs aod obtained employment in a printing office as an apprentice. From an apprentice to a journeyman, from a journeyman to » reporter, then to an editor, the barefooted printer boy worked away against obstacles which the suffering poor only know. The persevering follower in Franklin’s steps began to realize the fruits of toil and prtivation. The youngaspirant became a printer to the State, and by frugal management was soon enabled to accomplish the object nearest his beart—the establishment of bis mother in a home above want—in posses. sion of every comfort she could desire, Jis brothers were his next care; and, like Na. poleou, he had a strong arm with which to aid them—an indomitable perseverence that nothing could long suecesstully obstract. . In a few years, they, too, with his sistere, . were independent in the world; the once barefooted printer boy was in possession of influence, surrounded by a young and affectionate family. He was the friend of the friendless,a patron of merit, and an encourager in industry, He rose in honor and office, until the barefooted printer boy, who entered a printing office in Harrisburg. hungry and weary, laid down his bundle on a pile of wet paper and asked to become a . printer’s apprentice, wae elected a United . States Senator. This man is Simon Camon Mission street near Fourth. It is 160 . €t00, the present Secretary of War. feet in length by 50 feet in width, There, . . ores Wher ioe PrSt : .
