About this building fourteen hundred men are constantly at work, under a regimen of almost military strictness, for the head of the concern is Captain Mciggs, an army engineer, who has the roll called every morning, and regulates all other matters accordingly, The very committee reoms will be as sumptuous in their appointments as a lady’s boudoir. Mosaic floors glitter in every direction, and the whole region of classic mythology has been ransacked for symbolic contributions to make up a eet of ideas corresponding to the facts of our history and policy, On every side we are bewildered with gods and godesses. muses and the graces, fawns, nymphs, and dryads. Mars frowns, with his giant hand on his sword. Neptune grasps his trident, with which he shakes land and sea. Miperva presides over the arts. Venus is radiant with love and beauty. Ceres solemnly holds her cornucopia. And from yonder ceiling all the seasons at once are pouring out their pictorial treasures. But the most beautiful, solid and enduring memorials are those of Crawford, the sculptor, who designed some excellent statues, some of which are finished; on the marble blecks of others, the workmen are now engaged. The genius of America, wrapped in her starry mantle, is eloquent of the past, and prophetic of the future. The Mechanic, an hamble subject, less brilliant than the stern hero, less attractive than the soft beauty, is finely represented. This statue honors industry, and indicates one of the leading sources of prosperity to our beloved land, The American Youth is also done in stone. And not to lavish everything on war, glory, and the arts of destruction, Education hag her statuette, and by that we must thrive. The halls of Congress will be superb.

Oreme—Tus New Svpstirute ror Goip.— The manufacture of this new metal, says the New York Tribune, under the French patent of H. Migeon, granted March 3d, 1857, has been commenced on a large scele in Waterbury, Ct., and it will undoubtedly soon be in use, as it is . already in France, for varieus articles of domestic economy and all sort of ornamentation, and it bears a relation to gold similar to that of German silverto pure silver, like German silver it may be used in its original condition or as a basis for gold plating. It bears so strong a resemblence to pure guld, that when manufactured into articles, such as we have been accustomed to see made only of pure gold, we are at pany, said house being now occupied by said defendant as . once convinced that the articles we are handic a residence and Carpenter Shop.

The Oreide is not a new metal—being only @ new compound of old metals, so refined in the process of smelting as to have done away with a great part of their disposition to oxydise, as itonly tarnishes in about the same degree as silver, and though solution takes place if tested with nitric acid, it does not leave a black spot, se that it can be easily cleaned with acid without damage, which would destrey brass or co: per. That it isa valuable improvement in arts there is no doubt, and that it so much resembles gold asto make it necessary for our Legislatures at once to require, as in France, tbat all articles should be stamped “‘oreide’’ to prevent great frauds, which will eee be found out after a great many people have been pretty severely cheated. mar Caler; Vice President, G. Ch. Kohler; Fischer. In Los Angeles, the affairs are carried out under the direction of an auditing committeo, composed of the following gentlemen—Messrs. John Froling, R. Emerson, and Jayzinaky. Sub Treasurer, Felix Bachman. The advantages arising from the operations of this company, will be experienced in many respects. It will be no sinall increase to the revenue of the country to have fifty vineyards added to the real estate; together with the improvements thereon. It will add to the trade of the district to have a colony of fifty families introduced; and it will very materially add to the value of the adjoining property, to have so desirable a community im the neighborhood. In all these respects, the undertaking will be advantageous, but.these are considerations of a merely secondary nature, The great benefit to be conferred on us, as a community, will be the developing of the resources of our county, by the intelligent application of industry to a branch of business yet in its infancy; the adoption of a systematic and scientific plan in laying off the ground, and the consequent exhibition toa population very much in need of sucha lesson, of the great saving of time, as well as labor, by the adoption of a well matured system of grape culture, and the manufacture and peculiar care of wines. From the experience of so large a body of intelligent, practical men, very beneficial reeults must accrue, in this respect, to the people of the whole country.—Los Angeles Star. Honey Bexs.—A few days ago, a gentleman from Santa Clara eounty passed through this place with a number of hives of honey bees, which he was peddling out to these wisning to invest in these ‘patrons of industry’ and “emblems of civilization.’”?’ The bee has been culti. vated from the earliest ages forits wax and honey, and in all temperate climates has been found useful and profitable Every person who is permanently located should endeavor to supply himself with this industriious little insect, as there is no doubt but it will flourish and do well in the mountains, as the hills and Mw are covered with a floral carpeting in the early portion of the season, and during the summer and autumn the honey dew is known to fall in large quantities. The price asked—$110 per hive—appears at first rather exorbitant; but, when the astonishing rapidity with which they . multiply and increase in this country is taken into consideration, it cannot be looked upon as . . } 80 unreasontble. We have been credibly informed that a good healthy hive will send out from eight to twelve strong and vigorous swarms in the course of a season. For those who would feel inclined, we know of no better investment, in a small way, than to purehase a swarm of bees, as it will bring forth tenfold in a single season. In a very few years thiscountry will be plentifully supplied with domestic honey in all its purity—and we will be relieved of that compound imitation which is shipped to California in cans, labelled ‘‘pure honey,’’— San Andreas Independent. Native Cairornians.—In the case of Turner vs. Aldrich, now on trial before the U. 8, Circuit Ceurt,a number of native Californians in fine style, and yet saved a sufficient amount The large fluted columns that go into the. Treasurer, Cayrus Beythien; Secretary, John . to enable him to attend the Folsom estate sale last January, and purchase property to the value of $17,000, for which he paid that amount in eash! Now, that is what we call model finan. ciering. Billy Bein is nowhere, alongside of Kekfeldt’s adjuster of weights. Attempt To Escare.—Four of the twentyeight prisoners now in confinement in the jall at Sonora, a few “— ago, were in hourly expectation of regaining their liberiy, but were detected through*the vigilance of the Keeper, who found that they had cut their chains, and were only awaiting a favorable opportunity to step out. The Herald says that Bob Poor and Edward MeCauley, both convicted of murder, and under sentence of deatl, were of the party. The other two persons were confined for minor offenses. The instrument with whieh they ac complished their work has not yet been discovered. New shackles were immediately substituted, and all necessary steps taken to frustrate their designs, A Rion Cratu.—At the head of Rabbitt creek, on the proposed route for the Feather River Flume, are some claims owned by Messrs. Taylor, Moffat & Ce., from which our informant saw takea from three to five dollars to the pan, The pay dirt is from four to nine feet deep, and they . have sufficient ground to last them for years. Last Sunday they washed out of the dirt which had been deposited in a pile in one hour, five hundred dollars, L. Byington, Exsq., has claims adjoining, which look equally as well. So says the Mountain Messenger. A Mistna Swinpie.—A miner went to San Francisco a few days ago from Indian Diggings, in El Dorado county, with a large lot of metal supposed by him to be gold, which he deposited in the mint for coinage. The stuff resembled pure gold dust, but turned out to be spelter, or refuse of brass, not worth ten cents. The miner was informed accordingly, and appeared to be surprised. having dug his imagined treasure from a claim recently bought near the place he came from, It appears the claim had been “salted.’? Center or ATTracTion.—The gréat center of attraction, says the State Journal, judging fromm the large number of persons passing through the city, thither bound, is Stockton. There is scarcely a doubt that the State I’air will be far more attractive this year than it has been on any former occasion. Tbe Stocktonians bave spared no pains in providing all requisite accommodations, and from what we can learn, the attendance will be very large. OrrictaL Bonps 1s Et Dorano.--The several bonds of the newly elected officers of El Dorado county, amount in the aggregate to $290,000, and the bondsmen must have $1.160,000 in unineumbered property not exempt from execution, The Placerville American thinks there is not enough property in the county, uninoumbered, to cover these official bonds. Mysreriovs DisaPPeaRaNnce.~Andrew Schuler, a gentleman well known in Shasta, disappeared on Tuesday evening, Sept. 22d, and vo traces of his whereabouts have since been discovered. He bad several hundred dollars in cash, with him, and many fear he bas been murdered. A large number of persons have been actively searching for him ever since his disappearance. have been called as witnesses, including the three Peraltas, the aged sons of that Sergeant Peraltas, who settled on the eastern shore of the Bay in thelast century. These old men are fair specimens of the native Californian—a peculiar type of mankind. Large-boned, broadshouldered, big-bellied, higher than the average . of men, rather dark in color, with faces tolera. bly intelligent, and very open and benevolent . in expression, with large black eyes and bushy black hair; they must have been active and strong fellows in youth and, now in old age, they are the most patriarchal figures in the country. The wealthier native Californians, as a class, are physically a beautiful race. The Peralta, the Vallejos, the Castros, the Carillos, the Alvarados—the leading Spanish families twenty years ago, on what was then the northern frontier of California, were, men and we. men. nearly all of them, large, strong, active, healthy, ruddy and geod looking. It doesa body good to look at some of them who still . remain with us.—Alta. Tue Care Craim—Ricuer Yet.—We received a note from Mr. Lathrop, last evening, stating that 300 ounces of gold had been obtained in half a day’s run of one tom! The note alse said . that $743 was washed from one bucket of dirt. This dirt was “taken just as it came,’’ that is, not picked. These reports beat any thing we have yet heard. The Cape seems to grow richer the longer it is worked. We are prepared to hear of their striking whole bushels of pure gold before they are done with it, and indeed alf expect such a report from there. We hope ah pees a million at least.—Butte . they ma Record, Looxixe Ur.— Fifteen beuses are in process of erection in the town of Santa Barbara. I, C. Woops, who is now in San Diego, is believed to be in the employment of James Birch, the contracter for the San Antonio and San Diego overland mail. Woods, after he left London and came to New York, became tho guest of Mr. Birch, and is now provided by him with a situation, where he will doubtless be of benefit to both. Sav Farauity—Wm. M. Bicknell, a highly esteemed young man, was so seriously injured by the caving of a tunnel in which he was at work, at Indian Diggings, in E] Dorado county, September 10th, that he expired on Sunday morning, three days after. Tus Tre County.—An election for Sheriff of Sonoma county came off last Weduesday, for which office J. S. Woods, J. H. Siddons, and B, L. Green were candidates. The result of the first vote was a tie between the two first named candidates, Quartz For Ecrorr.—The Stockton Republican noticed on the Levee, a few days ago, ee veral tons of auriferous quartz, from Frement’s works, in Mariposa county. It is to be sent to Europe, where it will be tested in the most thorough manner art can devise. Hemp.—Among other products which have been forwarded to the State Fair, at Stockton, is a bundle of fresh cut seed hemp, with stalks thirteen feet in length, grown without water in five months, in San Jose. 7 Srzampoating.—The Shasta Courier learns that an opposition boat fer the transportation of freight, is about to be pat on the route!from San Franciseo to Red Biufls. ol png yer 3, —There are said to wep teal is now ip operation in Tuolunme/ county. i /

Mosaic floors glitter in every direction, and the whole region of classic mythology has been ransacked for symbolic contributions to make up a eet of ideas corresponding to the facts of our history and policy, On every side we are bewildered with gods and godesses. muses and the graces, fawns, nymphs, and dryads. Mars frowns, with his giant hand on his sword. Neptune grasps his trident, with which he shakes land and sea. Miperva presides over the arts. Venus is radiant with love and beauty. Ceres solemnly holds her cornucopia. And from yonder ceiling all the seasons at once are pouring out their pictorial treasures. But the most beautiful, solid and enduring memorials are those of Crawford, the sculptor, who designed some excellent statues, some of which are finished; on the marble blecks of others, the workmen are now engaged. The genius of America, wrapped in her starry mantle, is eloquent of the past, and prophetic of the future. The Mechanic, an hamble subject, less brilliant than the stern hero, less attractive than the soft beauty, is finely represented. This statue honors industry, and indicates one of the leading sources of prosperity to our beloved land, The American Youth is also done in stone.

Sub Treasurer, Felix Bachman. The advantages arising from the operations of this company, will be experienced in many respects. It will be no sinall increase to the revenue of the country to have fifty vineyards added to the real estate; together with the improvements thereon. It will add to the trade of the district to have a colony of fifty families introduced; and it will very materially add to the value of the adjoining property, to have so desirable a community im the neighborhood. In all these respects, the undertaking will be advantageous, but.these are considerations of a merely secondary nature, The great benefit to be conferred on us, as a community, will be the developing of the resources of our county, by the intelligent application of industry to a branch of business yet in its infancy; the adoption of a systematic and scientific plan in laying off the ground, and the consequent exhibition toa population very much in need of sucha lesson, of the great saving of time, as well as labor, by the adoption of a well matured system of grape culture, and the manufacture and peculiar care of wines. From the experience of so large a body of intelligent, practical men, very beneficial reeults must accrue, in this respect, to the people of the whole country.—Los Angeles Star. Honey Bexs.—A few days ago, a gentleman from Santa Clara eounty passed through this place with a number of hives of honey bees, which he was peddling out to these wisning to invest in these ‘patrons of industry’ and “emblems of civilization.’”?’ The bee has been culti. vated from the earliest ages forits wax and honey, and in all temperate climates has been found useful and profitable Every person who is permanently located should endeavor to supply himself with this industriious little insect, as there is no doubt but it will flourish and do well in the mountains, as the hills and Mw are covered with a floral carpeting in the early portion of the season, and during the summer and autumn the honey dew is known to fall in large quantities. The price asked—$110 per hive—appears at first rather exorbitant; but, when the astonishing rapidity with which they . multiply and increase in this country is taken into consideration, it cannot be looked upon as . . } 80 unreasontble. We have been credibly informed that a good healthy hive will send out from eight to twelve strong and vigorous swarms in the course of a season. For those who would feel inclined, we know of no better investment, in a small way, than to purehase a swarm of bees, as it will bring forth tenfold in a single season. In a very few years thiscountry will be plentifully supplied with domestic honey in all its purity—and we will be relieved of that compound imitation which is shipped to California in cans, labelled ‘‘pure honey,’’— San Andreas Independent.

Attempt To Escare.—Four of the twentyeight prisoners now in confinement in the jall at Sonora, a few “— ago, were in hourly expectation of regaining their liberiy, but were detected through*the vigilance of the Keeper, who found that they had cut their chains, and were only awaiting a favorable opportunity to step out. The Herald says that Bob Poor and Edward MeCauley, both convicted of murder, and under sentence of deatl, were of the party. The other two persons were confined for minor offenses. The instrument with whieh they ac complished their work has not yet been discovered. New shackles were immediately substituted, and all necessary steps taken to frustrate their designs, A Rion Cratu.—At the head of Rabbitt creek, on the proposed route for the Feather River Flume, are some claims owned by Messrs. Taylor, Moffat & Ce., from which our informant saw takea from three to five dollars to the pan, The pay dirt is from four to nine feet deep, and they . have sufficient ground to last them for years. Last Sunday they washed out of the dirt which had been deposited in a pile in one hour, five hundred dollars, L. Byington, Exsq., has claims adjoining, which look equally as well. So says the Mountain Messenger. A Mistna Swinpie.—A miner went to San Francisco a few days ago from Indian Diggings, in El Dorado county, with a large lot of metal supposed by him to be gold, which he deposited in the mint for coinage. The stuff resembled pure gold dust, but turned out to be spelter, or refuse of brass, not worth ten cents. The miner was informed accordingly, and appeared to be surprised. having dug his imagined treasure from a claim recently bought near the place he came from, It appears the claim had been “salted.’? Center or ATTracTion.—The gréat center of attraction, says the State Journal, judging fromm the large number of persons passing through the city, thither bound, is Stockton. There is scarcely a doubt that the State I’air will be far more attractive this year than it has been on any former occasion. Tbe Stocktonians bave spared no pains in providing all requisite accommodations, and from what we can learn, the attendance will be very large. OrrictaL Bonps 1s Et Dorano.--The several bonds of the newly elected officers of El Dorado county, amount in the aggregate to $290,000, and the bondsmen must have $1.160,000 in unineumbered property not exempt from execution, The Placerville American thinks there is not enough property in the county, uninoumbered, to cover these official bonds. Mysreriovs DisaPPeaRaNnce.~Andrew Schuler, a gentleman well known in Shasta, disappeared on Tuesday evening, Sept. 22d, and vo traces of his whereabouts have since been discovered. He bad several hundred dollars in cash, with him, and many fear he bas been murdered. A large number of persons have been actively searching for him ever since his disappearance. have been called as witnesses, including the three Peraltas, the aged sons of that Sergeant Peraltas, who settled on the eastern shore of the Bay in thelast century. These old men are fair specimens of the native Californian—a peculiar type of mankind. Large-boned, broadshouldered, big-bellied, higher than the average . of men, rather dark in color, with faces tolera. bly intelligent, and very open and benevolent . in expression, with large black eyes and bushy black hair; they must have been active and strong fellows in youth and, now in old age, they are the most patriarchal figures in the country. The wealthier native Californians, as a class, are physically a beautiful race. The Peralta, the Vallejos, the Castros, the Carillos, the Alvarados—the leading Spanish families twenty years ago, on what was then the northern frontier of California, were, men and we. men. nearly all of them, large, strong, active, healthy, ruddy and geod looking. It doesa body good to look at some of them who still . remain with us.—Alta. Tue Care Craim—Ricuer Yet.—We received a note from Mr. Lathrop, last evening, stating that 300 ounces of gold had been obtained in half a day’s run of one tom! The note alse said . that $743 was washed from one bucket of dirt. This dirt was “taken just as it came,’’ that is, not picked. These reports beat any thing we have yet heard. The Cape seems to grow richer the longer it is worked. We are prepared to hear of their striking whole bushels of pure gold before they are done with it, and indeed alf expect such a report from there. We hope ah pees a million at least.—Butte . they ma Record, Looxixe Ur.— Fifteen beuses are in process of erection in the town of Santa Barbara. I, C. Woops, who is now in San Diego, is believed to be in the employment of James Birch, the contracter for the San Antonio and San Diego overland mail. Woods, after he left London and came to New York, became tho guest of Mr. Birch, and is now provided by him with a situation, where he will doubtless be of benefit to both. Sav Farauity—Wm. M. Bicknell, a highly esteemed young man, was so seriously injured by the caving of a tunnel in which he was at work, at Indian Diggings, in E] Dorado county, September 10th, that he expired on Sunday morning, three days after. Tus Tre County.—An election for Sheriff of Sonoma county came off last Weduesday, for which office J. S. Woods, J. H. Siddons, and B, L. Green were candidates. The result of the first vote was a tie between the two first named candidates, Quartz For Ecrorr.—The Stockton Republican noticed on the Levee, a few days ago, ee veral tons of auriferous quartz, from Frement’s works, in Mariposa county. It is to be sent to Europe, where it will be tested in the most thorough manner art can devise.
