The Aydraulie Dress. B. P. AVERY, EDITOR. SATURDAY, :::::: OCT. 8, 1859 . ea 4 week our Hebrew friends celebrated the be-ginning of the five thousand, six hundred . ‘and twentieth year of their chronology, which dates from the creation of the word . —geology to the contrary nmotivibh Standing. . To-day they obs¢rve-a more soletm«anniversary. The time from last evening 4t-sun-set . until to-night at star-light, constitutes ‘the Day of ‘Atonement, during which every orthodox Jew will utterly abstain from food, and will pray to fhe God of Abraham, yA sand Jacob. ‘Anciently animal life was sac. “tihiced on the altars of Judea upon this day, as an expiation by proxy for the wickednesses of the people; and it was even asserted during the early ages of Christianity that the persecuted Israelites shed the blood of Christian children, as a grateful sacrifice ‘to Jehovah. ‘Théir bigoted persecutors ceritainly had some ‘reason to fear that such a ‘horrible charge:might be realized ‘by way of righteous retaliation, but it was:o doit a . wilful fabrication, whose motive ‘was, plun. der and the gratification of superstitious hatred. The idea of vicarious atonement for sin, tto which so many have fallen victims in all sages, is as old as superstition or the race, sand is the basis of our modern Christianity. ‘The Jews, although they do not believe Christ to have been the grand atoning sacrifice for the transgressions of man, yet no longer make those typical s BE which . ‘were Once customary on this day. Perhaps . with .the abandonment ot the form they are lesing -belief in the necessity of vicarious atonement, and do not think Deity can be appeased by atheatricaltrick. Atany rate, there is a great deal of practical infidelity . to their ancient faith among the Jews—par. Aicularly in America. Thousands do not even observe the old forms, while many who do eschew all the substance. They retain . the moral characteristics of their race, but . ‘T. their religion is becoming pure and simple Deism. +. @ 2 _________ Tur New San Francisco post office and make application for the semi-montlity ovean ‘mafi, the: ‘contract with the Pacific Steamship’ Compa-’ ¢ny having expired, the transportation of the ‘mail was given in charge of Garrison & Co., ‘of the Nicaragua line, who retain it for nine’ months. This change is in accordance with “a wise pre-arrangement made by the Department at Washington, in articipation-of the very contingency that has eecurred. We congratulate the public who want to visit ‘ald scenes for business or pleasure, that the continuance .of the opposition for many months to come is thus apparently insured. es : A Puea Acainst Dvetixe.—This is the name of a discourse delivered at ‘Oakland by Rev. J. A. Strong, on Sunday Sept. 25th, a pamphlet copy of which has been forwarded to this office. It appears to’be a well utttered and emphatic condemnation of a*bar‘barous custom which we believe it is right for the clergy to reprove, although their reproof probably fails to touch the small class of men by whom “the code” is still regardred. The pulpit seldom leads or directs pub‘Tic opinion in this country, but on great occasions it usnally reflects it, and its almost universal outcry against duéling we giadly accept.as an indication that that practice is not upheld by the strong eense of the masses. ae Manysvitie Pioneer Assay ‘Orrice —The aittention of our readers is calied ‘to the ad~vertisement of this establishment in another ‘column. Mr. H. Harris having purchased ‘the interest of his partner, the business is now carried on in the name of Harris & Co., fhough the only company, we believe, consists of Mr. Harris’ own wife anG ‘four little ‘ones—an admirable partnership, truty! Mr. Harris has always been at ‘the head of the concern, and is qualified for bis delicate vocation by an experience of many yerrs in he U. S. Mint at New Orleans and San Francisco, and with Kellogg, Wass Mollitor & Co., and Justh & Hunter. peerUAE OemNEreR tad Another aerial ship for a trans-Atlantic ‘trip has been nearly completed by a Mr. Lowe, of New York. It is the largest yet made. The ‘capacity of the gas receiver is 725,000 cubic feet, the diameter 130 feet, and the aggregste hight from ‘the valve to the bottom ef the metallic life boat which swings below the basket, is more than 300 feet! The builder ef this mammoth airship thinks his machinery ayill enable him to guide it, and that he can go dixect from New York to London in from 48 te 64 hours. The life-boat is provided with a small Ericson engine. The regulating power is ebtained by something like a screw propeller. —_———__--9 ’ Tue Levraraayx.—The Great Eastern is to go to New York after all. She was to have sailed from Galway on the 15th ultimo, for Gotham, touching at St. John’s. It is said that Mr. Lever, the proprietor of the Galway iine of steamers, having offered $100,000 for the privilege of running her on her first trip, the offer was accepted, and bence she comes to New York, consigned to the American Express Company of Wells, Butterfield & Co., who are the agents of the overland route to California.

Into our littered up sanctum walks neighbor Yiartman this week, with a cluster of four Orange Quinces weighing forty ounces, which grew on a bush two years old that has borne fifty fnore as large. He has thirty quince bushes in bearing, and is the,pioneer cultivator of that favorite preserve fruit in this vicinity. His fine flavored peaches have been before noticed, and now we must notice his beautiful apples of the earth, as the French poetically call potatoes. In common -red, gravelly soil he has raised a crop of-such Bodegas as would make the Valley farmers envious and an Irishman ‘perfectly happy. A dozen taken from one hill at hap-hazard weighed about eight pounds, and when boiled were as White as staroh‘and mealy as the coaxing words of lovers. ‘To come down to plain figures we hereby inform fhe community that Mr Hartman will sell them hundreds of ‘bushels ‘of these delightful spuds at the rate of five cents a pound. Everybody knows where his place is. Well! Here comes another culturist, Mr. Key of the Wisconsin ranch, with two monster apples of the fall pippin variety—both measuring thirteen inches in circumference, and one weighing 183 ounces while the other weighs 17} ounces, avoirdupois These grew en a dwari tree, and are the first fruits of an apple orchard consisting of 450 trees, nearly all of which will bear next year. Wm. Abbey has also placked some very large apples. Hereafter we hope to see the attention of mountain orchardists mostly directed to this fruit, instead of to the peach as heretofore. Cur peaches are remarkable for superior flavor, but are net such a certain crop, owing to the spring frosts. The apple, blooming later, would not suffer from frost, and is, besides, a more durable and variously useful fruit, finding sale the year . round.

But-L will try to scribble something from which you may be able to pick up a fact or two, of in . terest to a portion of your readers. Yesterday, accompanied by Mr. Geo. Leet, ‘of Columbia Hill, and who is one of the superiotendents, of the work on the Weaver Ditch—hiessrs. Isaacs and McDonald being the other two—I walked to Eereka, most of the way en-the lecatell line of the diteh, and am inclined to think that-I know: something aboutit. My motive for looking into the merits of this enterprise, like all other human motives, has been prompted by unmitigated self interest. I own an interest in a tail sluice, below Columbia Hill, which must remain the next thing to valueless, as long as the Columbia Hill miners refuse to use any other “Whiter than tHat with which they expect to be furnisherl "by the eferesaid Weaver Ditch. L wish to tread on no man’s corns, ‘for run a tilt’ against ady man’s s pet whims, but‘it is my intétest to ‘have tht’ ininers, up here, at Work; and the sooner they set'te work, the better it will be fdr ert at lo miuny of us. This being the state -of the case, I am naturally anxious to have the Ty aim just as anxious that the y shotld be s tet. . ity tccdommodated. Well, I trudged after my friend, Mr Leet, tearing my clothes: to.pieces‘in the chappar-./ th, and tiring'inyself'to death climbing the . steep hill sides} ‘btit I was determined to get an idea andI gotit.

The excavations for the ditch really begin at Eureka; and, there to the Magenta Flume, (three miles) the work has been pushed, with praiseworthy activity, by some spirited men from Golumbia Hil and there: ibout, and will soon be completed.

The w hole distance fret Orleans Flat to Comiles, but, as the water can be conveyed. for long distances, in ravines, the actual excavation, between Orleans Flat and Columbia Hill, ‘will not exceed cight miles. The whole will be under contract, I am inclined to believe, before the close ‘of the present week. Onmy way down from Eureka, today, { met two enthusiastic printers of your acquaintance—videlicet, Elder and Conger who were wending their way to head quarters, determined, if possible to take a contract fer feur miles. {I hope they will get it ~—and think they will—for they, like all their brethren of the Faustusian Art, have the trtie grit in them. They had but one mule ‘between them—an animal of exceeding gravity ‘and :steadiness—and traveled on the “ ride-and-tie” principle. ‘The contractors will receive “water scrip” in pay, which, for the nonte, will become a very convenient kind of paper currency, as abundance ‘of laborers are chetrfally willing to accaptitin remuneration for their services.

The Aydraulie Dress. B. P. AVERY, EDITOR. SATURDAY, :::::: OCT. 8, 1859 . ea 4 week our Hebrew friends celebrated the be-ginning of the five thousand, six hundred . ‘and twentieth year of their chronology, which dates from the creation of the word . —geology to the contrary nmotivibh Standing. . To-day they obs¢rve-a more soletm«anniversary. The time from last evening 4t-sun-set . until to-night at star-light, constitutes ‘the Day of ‘Atonement, during which every orthodox Jew will utterly abstain from food, and will pray to fhe God of Abraham, yA sand Jacob. ‘Anciently animal life was sac. “tihiced on the altars of Judea upon this day, as an expiation by proxy for the wickednesses of the people; and it was even asserted during the early ages of Christianity that the persecuted Israelites shed the blood of Christian children, as a grateful sacrifice ‘to Jehovah. ‘Théir bigoted persecutors ceritainly had some ‘reason to fear that such a ‘horrible charge:might be realized ‘by way of righteous retaliation, but it was:o doit a . wilful fabrication, whose motive ‘was, plun. der and the gratification of superstitious hatred. The idea of vicarious atonement for sin, tto which so many have fallen victims in all sages, is as old as superstition or the race, sand is the basis of our modern Christianity. ‘The Jews, although they do not believe Christ to have been the grand atoning sacrifice for the transgressions of man, yet no longer make those typical s BE which . ‘were Once customary on this day. Perhaps . with .the abandonment ot the form they are lesing -belief in the necessity of vicarious atonement, and do not think Deity can be appeased by atheatricaltrick. Atany rate, there is a great deal of practical infidelity . to their ancient faith among the Jews—par. Aicularly in America. Thousands do not even observe the old forms, while many who do eschew all the substance. They retain . the moral characteristics of their race, but . ‘T. their religion is becoming pure and simple Deism. +. @ 2 _________ Tur New San Francisco post office and make application for the semi-montlity ovean ‘mafi, the: ‘contract with the Pacific Steamship’ Compa-’ ¢ny having expired, the transportation of the ‘mail was given in charge of Garrison & Co., ‘of the Nicaragua line, who retain it for nine’ months.

We congratulate the public who want to visit ‘ald scenes for business or pleasure, that the continuance .of the opposition for many months to come is thus apparently insured. es : A Puea Acainst Dvetixe.—This is the name of a discourse delivered at ‘Oakland by Rev. J. A. Strong, on Sunday Sept. 25th, a pamphlet copy of which has been forwarded to this office. It appears to’be a well utttered and emphatic condemnation of a*bar‘barous custom which we believe it is right for the clergy to reprove, although their reproof probably fails to touch the small class of men by whom “the code” is still regardred. The pulpit seldom leads or directs pub‘Tic opinion in this country, but on great occasions it usnally reflects it, and its almost universal outcry against duéling we giadly accept.as an indication that that practice is not upheld by the strong eense of the masses. ae Manysvitie Pioneer Assay ‘Orrice —The aittention of our readers is calied ‘to the ad~vertisement of this establishment in another ‘column.

The builder ef this mammoth airship thinks his machinery ayill enable him to guide it, and that he can go dixect from New York to London in from 48 te 64 hours.

A dozen taken from one hill at hap-hazard weighed about eight pounds, and when boiled were as White as staroh‘and mealy as the coaxing words of lovers. ‘To come down to plain figures we hereby inform fhe community that Mr Hartman will sell them hundreds of ‘bushels ‘of these delightful spuds at the rate of five cents a pound.

Wm. Abbey has also placked some very large apples. Hereafter we hope to see the attention of mountain orchardists mostly directed to this fruit, instead of to the peach as heretofore. Cur peaches are remarkable for superior flavor, but are net such a certain crop, owing to the spring frosts. The apple, blooming later, would not suffer from frost, and is, besides, a more durable and variously useful fruit, finding sale the year . round.

at San-Juan, on Tuesday, to furnish you with-some items of intelligence relative to the Weaver Ditch, I take up the pen, though rather reluctantly, for-1 havejust walked to this place from Eureka, twenty miles distant, -having walked from here to there-yesterday, und feel sligktly wedry. But-L will try to scribble something from which you may be able to pick up a fact or two, of in . terest to a portion of your readers. Yesterday, accompanied by Mr. Geo. Leet, ‘of Columbia Hill, and who is one of the superiotendents, of the work on the Weaver Ditch—hiessrs. Isaacs and McDonald being the other two—I walked to Eereka, most of the way en-the lecatell line of the diteh, and am inclined to think that-I know: something aboutit. My motive for looking into the merits of this enterprise, like all other human motives, has been prompted by unmitigated self interest. I own an interest in a tail sluice, below Columbia Hill, which must remain the next thing to valueless, as long as the Columbia Hill miners refuse to use any other “Whiter than tHat with which they expect to be furnisherl "by the eferesaid Weaver Ditch. L wish to tread on no man’s corns, ‘for run a tilt’ against ady man’s s pet whims, but‘it is my intétest to ‘have tht’ ininers, up here, at Work; and the sooner they set'te work, the better it will be fdr ert at lo miuny of us. This being the state -of the case, I am naturally anxious to have the Ty aim just as anxious that the y shotld be s tet. . ity tccdommodated. Well, I trudged after my friend, Mr Leet, tearing my clothes: to.pieces‘in the chappar-./ th, and tiring'inyself'to death climbing the . steep hill sides} ‘btit I was determined to get an idea andI gotit. The mountzius are . certainly very picturesque and very grand, bat, to ‘the pedestrian, they are awfa lly fa In spite of myself, for I am but} I ceuld not help improvising a perverse parody on the chorus of Saxe’s admirable-soug of the Railrond: Pumbling ddwh tHe guichés, Jumping Over rilfs, @Pless me, this is tiresome, Scrambling up the bills!

The excavations for the ditch really begin at Eureka; and, there to the Magenta Flume, (three miles) the work has been pushed, with praiseworthy activity, by some spirited men from Golumbia Hil and there: ibout, and will soon be completed. Froin ‘the Mi: agenta Flimé to ‘Orleans ¥lat is Your four ‘miles, ‘and all undér ‘contract. humble correspondent, in company with Mr. Olmstead, your illustrious predecessor, has been honored with a contract for the fourth mile, or that which is next to Orlefins Flat. The w hole distance fret Orleans Flat to Comiles, but, as the water can be conveyed. for long distances, in ravines, the actual excavation, between Orleans Flat and Columbia Hill, ‘will not exceed cight miles. The whole will be under contract, I am inclined to believe, before the close ‘of the present week. Onmy way down from Eureka, today, { met two enthusiastic printers of your acquaintance—videlicet, Elder and Conger who were wending their way to head quarters, determined, if possible to take a contract fer feur miles. {I hope they will get it ~—and think they will—for they, like all their brethren of the Faustusian Art, have the trtie grit in them. They had but one mule ‘between them—an animal of exceeding gravity ‘and :steadiness—and traveled on the “ ride-and-tie” principle. ‘The contractors will receive “water scrip” in pay, which, for the nonte, will become a very convenient kind of paper currency, as abundance ‘of laborers are chetrfally willing to accaptitin remuneration for their services. It will buy “grab” and ““ dunnage,”’ and do @thost anything else that money can do. By ‘the 'by—Brother "Olmstead and I wil want some stalwart‘hands on-onr contract.
