The adaptability of the foot hills to tillage and pasturage has long been known, and we are beand have an abiding value. We especially commend for perusal an amusing yet philosophical article on the “Mountaineers of California,” and the “Brief Memorials of Alexander Malaspina,” which latter are contributed by Dr. Taylor of Monterey, whose original articles on our native condor are so well known. “Malaspina was employed "By the Spanish goverment, between the ‘yedrs 1784 and 1794,” says Dr. Taylor, “as a scientific surveyor and hydrographér ‘sf'the Pacific coasts of Spanish Atherica, froth Cape Horn to Beliring’s ‘Straits. ‘His ‘charts “dnd maps of Pacific Mexico, California and Northwest America were published by the Spanish government under the ndihes bf'dther atthors, and afterwards formed the most reliable data for Spanish mariners down ‘to the revolution of 1825,” besides being “those most in use by the English and Artiéticdn pilots in the Pacific trade,” down tb a-péribd . even later. 1 . . Malaspina was rewarded for kis services as many have been before hith. Having given offence to a Spanish ruler he was imprisoned for a number of-years, ‘and the credit of his surveys given to others, his name being suppressed in the published accounts of the expedition he commanded But for this persecution he was afterwards rewarded by having the great Humboldt acknowledge his services to science in terms of wurmest praise. RG CT A Puncu ar “Puxcu.”—Punch has a spiriginning to havea more adequate actjuaintance with the elevated country lyimg above them. The worth of the mountain ‘valleys and hill-sides for horticulturat,'pot ological and grazing purposes fs dlready practically appreciated by ‘many. ‘Noly that we see a ‘number of the motintaih towns supplied with fruit and vegetables 'prodiiced in their own vicinity and in their very midst—now that we sée extensive ‘vineyards being planted, and apple orchards set out—and visitors to Eastern homes flocking eagerly back to the incomparable climate of our lofty ridges— we grow hopeful and believe that ultimately the mineral regions of California Ywifl be as blest as any others, instead of being ‘pointed toes morally the worst-part of the State-— ‘in'which light some even yet view them.— For the fixed abodes of humanity no mountain couhtry on earth is so aduiirably fitted. ‘If the Siviss'cah ‘live and prosper, and make ‘noble histdry dthidst the rugged and wintry Alps, Why catihot the Anglo-Saxon do as much, with more true pleasure to himself while he is about it,‘tn the valleys and on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada? In Switzerland the ground is cultivated in terraces with a southern exposure, which are all walled up on the lower side with stone and lime. These terraces are commonly from ten to fifty feet wide, and incline at a considerable angle. They ascend up the side of a mountain, writes a recent traveler, . “young man called John,” dnd begins to plot a story.

That much abused patriot Thomas . Paine, to Whdm “Americans owe so much and have ‘paid so little of respect and gratitude, has rather more justice done his memory than is common, though a saving modicum of personal abuse is of course indulged in. <A pleasant article, entitled ‘Rock, Tree and Man,” familiarly explains the ‘fadical . identity of the elements which ¢ompose the mineral, vegetable and ahimal kingdoins, and opens with this comprehensive para‘graph: “It is an interesting thought, that will occur to a contemplative mind, that the world contained, from the time when it was a nebulous mass, all the materials of the future individuals of the animate and inanimate creation,—that the elaborate creatures of the vegetable and animal kingdoms, as well as every minéral, were floating in ariorphots masses through spacé. Human beligs, ‘like the genius that was condensed frora vapor at the rubbing of Aladdin’s lamp, were diffused in gasses, waiting the touch of the ‘Great Magician’s wand ‘to bring them into form and infuse them with life. In all the distinct creations of God, from the time when the waters first subsided and the dry land appeared, in everything organized and inorganized, earth, air, sea, and their inhabitants, there is no element that was not in existence when the earth was without form and void.” a Prepicrioxs.—We find the following amuwas $233,182,275; and of exports $246,680194, sini eantintieeain At a meeting of Congregationalist clergy: men in Massachusetts, Rev.

It is stated that Miramon had decided on a radical change of policy.

The vine yields double, or more than double, what it does in any other country, and wine is made of a quality so excellent that it is already in demand for exportation.

Fargo has commenced the publication of an excellent weekly paper, called the Alameda County Herald, at Onkland. It is liberal Republican in polities. “The Cincinnati News contains quite an interesting peep into futurity, purporting to be a letter from Cincinnati written in 1860.

Congress was in session at the Queen of the West; member from Montreal oh the floor ; the venerable President, Daniel Webster, hale and hearty.” The Porképolfs wag who wrcte the above could imagine such a thing as the annexation of Canada and the election of Webster to the Presidency, but the idea of submarine ‘telegraphic connection With Great Britain ahd Etrope was a flight too bold for even his powers of vaticination. F —+ e+ — A Sarehranian.—Horace Greeley remarks ih ‘dne‘df ‘his Katisas Tetters, that hardly half the settlers make any sort of provision for wintering their cattle and for protecting them against the fierce winds of the prairie. He remonstrates against such inhuman exposure of the poor beasts, and on one occasion Wad the following colloquy with asettler upon ‘the subject: z “T asked a settler the other day how he could do it.” “t'had ‘to time to make a shelter for them.” “But had you no Sundays ‘—did you not have these at your disposal?” “QO, yes!

The amount of capital stock was fixed at $300,000, and a board of seven Directors elected. ‘Cotimissioners were also elected for the purpose of opening bodks Of subscription. The Zferald says the road is certain to be Built. An Italian paper gives a list of forty-nine battles between the French and Austrians, occurring in the honth of Fane duriig a period of seventeen years, from 1792 to 1809, in every one of which the Austrians were defeated.

The Springfield, Mass., Republican draws ah apt comparison between the two forces now bodily contending in Italy: _ When the bayonets think, their triumph is half secured; and the great difference between the French and Italians, and the Austrian soldiery to whom they are opposed, is, ‘that their bayoncts think, while those of the Austrians do not think. This difference has told in every encounter that has thus far taken'place. maine ,;, An ‘Ohio woman writes that the object of the “Daughters of Malta” is to relieve wid‘owers, destitute bachelors, dandies, Hottentots, and orphan male children.

By this process the corn is sprouted in four or five days, and they thén dry, pound and boil it, Twelve hours fermentation makes it pretty strong and a quart of it will make an Indian perfectly happy. The St. Louis, Republican office employs one hundred and seventy-six hands, at a weekly salary of $2074. Add this to $1,306 44 per week for paper for the Republican, $700 per week for stock for job office, $220 for bindery, and $220 per week for sundry other expenses, and the aggregate is $4,500 44 per week—the actual sum expended each week of the year in sustaining the Republican establishment.

We especially commend for perusal an amusing yet philosophical article on the “Mountaineers of California,” and the “Brief Memorials of Alexander Malaspina,” which latter are contributed by Dr. Taylor of Monterey, whose original articles on our native condor are so well known. “Malaspina was employed "By the Spanish goverment, between the ‘yedrs 1784 and 1794,” says Dr. Taylor, “as a scientific surveyor and hydrographér ‘sf'the Pacific coasts of Spanish Atherica, froth Cape Horn to Beliring’s ‘Straits. ‘His ‘charts “dnd maps of Pacific Mexico, California and Northwest America were published by the Spanish government under the ndihes bf'dther atthors, and afterwards formed the most reliable data for Spanish mariners down ‘to the revolution of 1825,” besides being “those most in use by the English and Artiéticdn pilots in the Pacific trade,” down tb a-péribd . even later. 1 . . Malaspina was rewarded for kis services as many have been before hith. Having given offence to a Spanish ruler he was imprisoned for a number of-years, ‘and the credit of his surveys given to others, his name being suppressed in the published accounts of the expedition he commanded But for this persecution he was afterwards rewarded by having the great Humboldt acknowledge his services to science in terms of wurmest praise.
