NORTH SAN JUAN, NEVADA CO., CAL., SATURDAY, SEPT. 25, 1858. teered the following characteristic account of how one of the brutes treed him on a Gertain occasion. He was out alone hunting déer,and was about returning unsuccessful when he espied a young bear cub.— After debating within his mind whe-~ ther he should shoot i¢ or not, he concluded to fire. He knew from experience that the old bear must be near, but, said he, “I jest allowed I had a dead thing on him at-forty yards, an’ kalkilated ef I tuk him plumb thro’ the eye he wouldn’t holler, so the old dam wouldn’t show herself till I made tracks with mister cub. Well, Iup gunan’ let sliver, an’ tuk the dern thing right plumb in the . belly, an’ be hollered like blazes!— Hell an’ thunder! You'd oughter hecrd the brush crack then! Ididn’t stop to see what was comin’—you bet! but made straight for the neardest tree—an’ I’m d—d ef thar wer moro’n one in sight! You’d oughter seen mea cuttin’ for that tree! I . could hear the ol’ bar takin’ after me, blowin’ an’ snortin’ like a dang’d big hog run wild ter beechnuts, an’ a tarin’ up the yarth reelsavage. I drops my gun an’ up tree I gets, keepin’ a clim’in’ till I was high up as I could git among the slim branches; an’ then I begun to feel toler’ble easy, an’ looked down to see what the ol’ bar was doin’. Wal, sirs, she marched right up within sixty feet of the tree, an’ thar she stopped an’ reared up on her hind Jegs, an’ give the awfullest howl that ever I heyard since Godaly mighty made me; twas reel human. 'Then she turned about an’ made for whar the cub was lyin’ kickin’ an’ /moanin’ like a dog, an’ picked it up give it a couple of licks—like this— with her big paw, knockin’ it down reel ugly. An’ then the dern thing . picked it up agin, put her arms around it, like, an’ squose it.up tight agin her two or three times. Wal, as soon’s she’d done that, she dropt it /an’ made off, very imperlite, never 'noticin’ this chap in the tree at all. She’d done killed the dang’d cub— . for you know they never let ’em stay alive after they gits hurt, but kill ’em jand leave ’em. I watched the old . bar goin’ over the mountains for five mile afore I got down from the tree, . an’ then I picked up my gun, shouldered mister cub, an’ made a beeline for the camp. It was gittin’ kinder dark, an’ afore I got home the owls . wor a hootin’, an’ the doves wor a gurglin’, an’ the branch was roarin’ louder’n that bar. You bet I made 'a high old supper on the cub! But _the kiotes barked around very anx~ ious, #0 that I had to pepper one or two of ’em, for the sake of peace an’ quietness.” When “ Kentuck” finished there was a general laugh, and many com‘ical reflections. ‘The picture he had drawn on our memories so vividly, of _his position in the solitary tree, with Mrs. Bruin on her hind legs beneath him, produced ludicrous fancies which . we expressed only by our laughter. } i '“ Kentuck’s” phraseology, indige‘nous to western border life, but familiar enough to Californians, amused me more than his stories ; it was the very seasoning of them. He always transmogrified cards into ke-yerds, and bears into bars, paid no attention to grammatical rules, and garnished his speech with dreadful Spanish, learned from the Diggers. When he was not speaking, or when I saw him walking in his usually graceful, upright manner, he looked like a cultivated gentleman. He was a gentle‘man of the woods—kind-hearted, . brave, and truthful, but a bitter hater of Indiars and eastern dandies. He is dead now. He heard a wor man screaming as he passed through our mining village one evening, rush~ ‘ed to protect her from a brutal assault, ; is side. That was the last of poor “ Kaintuck,” but the miners sent the craven spirit of his murderer after him.

BY CRUCIBLE.“There is no ‘Genessee’ where I am going.” ‘. Thus spoke the old mother as her first-born was leaving the ark to go forth alone upon the ocean of life. *Twas an old-time parting—a parting indeed; for homes were sacred then; the old roof-tree was loved more dear, for he whe trained its branches to: nestle close to the south» ern wall, sleeps *neath its shadows; and the grassy lawn sloping away to the east steals fairer crystals from th2 night than others do, for it was his hand that redeemed it from the wild and made Eden envious. An old-time parting! Long ago, when the West bespoke a wilderness indeed; when its “outer walls’? were bathed by the deep flowing Hudson, and the ‘‘other.side” of a truth bes longed to sunset land; yet, from out the wilderness a voice had been heard telling of sparkling rills and crystal streams leaping through emerald settings of fair fields and fertile vallies. A ‘Genessee’ had been found—stories of its surpassing loveliness reached the East—the circling mists gathered more closely around Mt. Monadnock to learn of a fairer land than theirs, and old Holyoke assumed a sterner look as he heard of other Kings than Philip. Soon, however, was heard the elastic step of eager youth hastening thither, and how they went and how they parted, ’tis almost worth the telling. It was long before Fulton had lit a “soul of fire within ribs of oak;” long ere a “thread of thunder” was wove through the woof of primeval forests, making the “sounding aisles of the dim woods” shout back the hoarse voice of the panting engine, till startled nature herself almost refused the echo. Yes—’twas long ere this; for in thosé days of primitive life when one did not blush to love and own his home, the postman’s weekly visit was the only link connecting with the world; and as the transitions from place to place were necessarily slow, so was purpose of mind and thought equally gradual, and they were along time there in the old home making up their minds to let John go forth to the promised land, for the old hive had never “swarmed” before, and they feared to have it now; yet he must go, for others had gathered harvests there, and a year or two would ripen his; and so the day of his going was set. “T'was the first day in the week but one, for in those days there were Sabbaths in the land, and that Sabbath was a holy day, for to-morrow John was going. He was to go at sunrise, and how very early was the dawning! The family were early astir, and seemed unusually busy—perhaps the heart was very busy, and the hands need keep it company—and so they did; for over and over again had they packed the simple wardrobe, and still i¢ was not done. Nellie had found a button off, and mother must sew it on; but the old mother’s eyes were dim, and she could not thread the needle; she put on her spectacles, but something was the matter with them, and she wiped them; something was the matter with her eyes, and she wept. But the task is completed, breakfast is over, and with his knapsack fastened to his shoulders, John is ready to start. He hascrossed the threshold—the threshold Avs feet helped make smooth, and where long years ago he used to sit and gaze with childish wonder upon the rainbow he thought the angels had painted on the clouds. The gate: way is reached—the garden gate where he used to swing—and there he lingers. O, for a railway now to hasten the parting with a scream!— ’T would indeed be a blessing, even though the faint “good-bye” were crushed in two by its iron wheels! “Write, won’t you?” says sister, softly; and mother—the old mother— with one withered hand placed lov~ ingly upon the shoulder of her first— born while the other toys with his moist locks, says—“let me look at you once more John, before you go, for I shall be gone when you come back, but you'll know where to find me; for there is no ‘Genessee’ where [ am going!” A father’s deep “God bless you,” and words that sound like sobs, and John is lost in the forest—he has gone, and the “OLD TIME PARTING” ended. Cherokee, Sept. 14th, 1858. THE HYDRAULIC PRESS BPs LAE OTE RE A Few Worps About THE GRAND Event.—We cannot give, neither will any one expect, in a small journal like this, full details of the sublime triumph over space and the ocean elements which now fills every mind and occupies every tongue. Enough that we have briefly recorded it, and that we have also recorded our sympathy with the world’s great joy.— To attempt more would be as pres sumptuous, and as useless, asif we should aim to give in our insignificant columns, from time to time, the stately history of Gibbon, which has been well termed “the splendid bridge which connects the old and new world,’’—an office now literally performed by the Atlantic Cable.— Neither shall we indulge in the expression of those eathusiastic emotions and hopes which inspire every breast that can entertain an unselfish feeling throughout the two continents. Every journal in the broad Union will publish its eloquent or its labored “leader” on the absorbing topic; and we can best distinguish ourselves by abstaining. Our province is the humble, yet sufficient one of recording local events and opinions: let the world’s great mewspapers bear on their ample pages the records of passing history.—So much by way of showing that our silence does not proceed from insensibilities. The remark of Emerson, that “‘every great and commanding moment in the annals of the world is the triumph of some enthusiasm,” is forcibly illustrated by the admitted fact that the success of the Atlantic Telegraph at this time is largely due to the ener« gy, perseverance and enthusiasm of Cyrus W. Field. But in the enthusiasm of the people themselves—ia the deep joy that lights up every man’s face and even moistens so many eyes—in the universal exultation over Mr. Field’s success, we can sce the germ and promise of a success much nobler. ‘The bare fact that the hard and sordid natures of our utilitarian countrymen can be so profoundly stirred as they are by emotions of the most elevated and cosmopolitan character, is a grander and more sigs nificant event than the laying of the Cable. A peuple capable of this must be destined to realize their own glorious hopes in reference to the recent electrical triumph. They must bo in earnest when they cry for peace and love, and offer to an hereditary foe the grateful sacrifice of heredita~ ry prejudice, whilst extending the pure warm hand of eager friendship. There must be a meaning in these ringing bells, and firing cannon and pyrotechnics, and music, and crowd: ed streets, and fervent shouts,—a meaning that the future will interpret by a millenium of peace and a coafederation of nationalities, for the strong desire of the present surely indicates the time to be. A Woman Sinarve 1n tue Nica. —A clear, sweet voice, a silvery trill, a tone of pathos—how they cleave the starry atmosphere, and bathe the listening sou! in tenderness! Memory, floating on those tremulous waves of sound, is borne to other scenes— to the hazy shores of the long forgotten past. The dreamy echoes of exquisite old melodies awake within the heart and mingle with that woman’s singing inthe night. It is a mother’s song of love, so gaily warbled when a bride, and afterwards more plaintively in widowhood. How much of sadness in the sound—of vain regret —of keen, protracted yearning !— How the heart beats its mournful measure, and tears obscure “ the. windows of the soul!’”— “ Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depth ofgome divine despair.

He was out alone hunting déer,and was about returning unsuccessful when he espied a young bear cub.— After debating within his mind whe-~ ther he should shoot i¢ or not, he concluded to fire. He knew from experience that the old bear must be near, but, said he, “I jest allowed I had a dead thing on him at-forty yards, an’ kalkilated ef I tuk him plumb thro’ the eye he wouldn’t holler, so the old dam wouldn’t show herself till I made tracks with mister cub. Well, Iup gunan’ let sliver, an’ tuk the dern thing right plumb in the . belly, an’ be hollered like blazes!— Hell an’ thunder! You'd oughter hecrd the brush crack then! Ididn’t stop to see what was comin’—you bet! but made straight for the neardest tree—an’ I’m d—d ef thar wer moro’n one in sight! You’d oughter seen mea cuttin’ for that tree! I . could hear the ol’ bar takin’ after me, blowin’ an’ snortin’ like a dang’d big hog run wild ter beechnuts, an’ a tarin’ up the yarth reelsavage. I drops my gun an’ up tree I gets, keepin’ a clim’in’ till I was high up as I could git among the slim branches; an’ then I begun to feel toler’ble easy, an’ looked down to see what the ol’ bar was doin’. Wal, sirs, she marched right up within sixty feet of the tree, an’ thar she stopped an’ reared up on her hind Jegs, an’ give the awfullest howl that ever I heyard since Godaly mighty made me; twas reel human. 'Then she turned about an’ made for whar the cub was lyin’ kickin’ an’ /moanin’ like a dog, an’ picked it up give it a couple of licks—like this— with her big paw, knockin’ it down reel ugly. An’ then the dern thing . picked it up agin, put her arms around it, like, an’ squose it.up tight agin her two or three times. Wal, as soon’s she’d done that, she dropt it /an’ made off, very imperlite, never 'noticin’ this chap in the tree at all. She’d done killed the dang’d cub— . for you know they never let ’em stay alive after they gits hurt, but kill ’em jand leave ’em. I watched the old . bar goin’ over the mountains for five mile afore I got down from the tree, . an’ then I picked up my gun, shouldered mister cub, an’ made a beeline for the camp. It was gittin’ kinder dark, an’ afore I got home the owls . wor a hootin’, an’ the doves wor a gurglin’, an’ the branch was roarin’ louder’n that bar. You bet I made 'a high old supper on the cub! But _the kiotes barked around very anx~ ious, #0 that I had to pepper one or two of ’em, for the sake of peace an’ quietness.” When “ Kentuck” finished there was a general laugh, and many com‘ical reflections. ‘The picture he had drawn on our memories so vividly, of _his position in the solitary tree, with Mrs. Bruin on her hind legs beneath him, produced ludicrous fancies which . we expressed only by our laughter. } i '“ Kentuck’s” phraseology, indige‘nous to western border life, but familiar enough to Californians, amused me more than his stories ; it was the very seasoning of them. He always transmogrified cards into ke-yerds, and bears into bars, paid no attention to grammatical rules, and garnished his speech with dreadful Spanish, learned from the Diggers. When he was not speaking, or when I saw him walking in his usually graceful, upright manner, he looked like a cultivated gentleman. He was a gentle‘man of the woods—kind-hearted, . brave, and truthful, but a bitter hater of Indiars and eastern dandies. He is dead now.

BY CRUCIBLE.“There is no ‘Genessee’ where I am going.” ‘. Thus spoke the old mother as her first-born was leaving the ark to go forth alone upon the ocean of life. *Twas an old-time parting—a parting indeed; for homes were sacred then; the old roof-tree was loved more dear, for he whe trained its branches to: nestle close to the south» ern wall, sleeps *neath its shadows; and the grassy lawn sloping away to the east steals fairer crystals from th2 night than others do, for it was his hand that redeemed it from the wild and made Eden envious. An old-time parting! Long ago, when the West bespoke a wilderness indeed; when its “outer walls’? were bathed by the deep flowing Hudson, and the ‘‘other.side” of a truth bes longed to sunset land; yet, from out the wilderness a voice had been heard telling of sparkling rills and crystal streams leaping through emerald settings of fair fields and fertile vallies. A ‘Genessee’ had been found—stories of its surpassing loveliness reached the East—the circling mists gathered more closely around Mt. Monadnock to learn of a fairer land than theirs, and old Holyoke assumed a sterner look as he heard of other Kings than Philip. Soon, however, was heard the elastic step of eager youth hastening thither, and how they went and how they parted, ’tis almost worth the telling. It was long before Fulton had lit a “soul of fire within ribs of oak;” long ere a “thread of thunder” was wove through the woof of primeval forests, making the “sounding aisles of the dim woods” shout back the hoarse voice of the panting engine, till startled nature herself almost refused the echo. Yes—’twas long ere this; for in thosé days of primitive life when one did not blush to love and own his home, the postman’s weekly visit was the only link connecting with the world; and as the transitions from place to place were necessarily slow, so was purpose of mind and thought equally gradual, and they were along time there in the old home making up their minds to let John go forth to the promised land, for the old hive had never “swarmed” before, and they feared to have it now; yet he must go, for others had gathered harvests there, and a year or two would ripen his; and so the day of his going was set. “T'was the first day in the week but one, for in those days there were Sabbaths in the land, and that Sabbath was a holy day, for to-morrow John was going. He was to go at sunrise, and how very early was the dawning! The family were early astir, and seemed unusually busy—perhaps the heart was very busy, and the hands need keep it company—and so they did; for over and over again had they packed the simple wardrobe, and still i¢ was not done. Nellie had found a button off, and mother must sew it on; but the old mother’s eyes were dim, and she could not thread the needle; she put on her spectacles, but something was the matter with them, and she wiped them; something was the matter with her eyes, and she wept. But the task is completed, breakfast is over, and with his knapsack fastened to his shoulders, John is ready to start. He hascrossed the threshold—the threshold Avs feet helped make smooth, and where long years ago he used to sit and gaze with childish wonder upon the rainbow he thought the angels had painted on the clouds. The gate: way is reached—the garden gate where he used to swing—and there he lingers. O, for a railway now to hasten the parting with a scream!— ’T would indeed be a blessing, even though the faint “good-bye” were crushed in two by its iron wheels! “Write, won’t you?” says sister, softly; and mother—the old mother— with one withered hand placed lov~ ingly upon the shoulder of her first— born while the other toys with his moist locks, says—“let me look at you once more John, before you go, for I shall be gone when you come back, but you'll know where to find me; for there is no ‘Genessee’ where [ am going!” A father’s deep “God bless you,” and words that sound like sobs, and John is lost in the forest—he has gone, and the “OLD TIME PARTING” ended. Cherokee, Sept. 14th, 1858. THE HYDRAULIC PRESS BPs LAE OTE RE A Few Worps About THE GRAND Event.—We cannot give, neither will any one expect, in a small journal like this, full details of the sublime triumph over space and the ocean elements which now fills every mind and occupies every tongue. Enough that we have briefly recorded it, and that we have also recorded our sympathy with the world’s great joy.— To attempt more would be as pres sumptuous, and as useless, asif we should aim to give in our insignificant columns, from time to time, the stately history of Gibbon, which has been well termed “the splendid bridge which connects the old and new world,’’—an office now literally performed by the Atlantic Cable.— Neither shall we indulge in the expression of those eathusiastic emotions and hopes which inspire every breast that can entertain an unselfish feeling throughout the two continents. Every journal in the broad Union will publish its eloquent or its labored “leader” on the absorbing topic; and we can best distinguish ourselves by abstaining. Our province is the humble, yet sufficient one of recording local events and opinions: let the world’s great mewspapers bear on their ample pages the records of passing history.—So much by way of showing that our silence does not proceed from insensibilities. The remark of Emerson, that “‘every great and commanding moment in the annals of the world is the triumph of some enthusiasm,” is forcibly illustrated by the admitted fact that the success of the Atlantic Telegraph at this time is largely due to the ener« gy, perseverance and enthusiasm of Cyrus W. Field. But in the enthusiasm of the people themselves—ia the deep joy that lights up every man’s face and even moistens so many eyes—in the universal exultation over Mr. Field’s success, we can sce the germ and promise of a success much nobler. ‘The bare fact that the hard and sordid natures of our utilitarian countrymen can be so profoundly stirred as they are by emotions of the most elevated and cosmopolitan character, is a grander and more sigs nificant event than the laying of the Cable. A peuple capable of this must be destined to realize their own glorious hopes in reference to the recent electrical triumph. They must bo in earnest when they cry for peace and love, and offer to an hereditary foe the grateful sacrifice of heredita~ ry prejudice, whilst extending the pure warm hand of eager friendship. There must be a meaning in these ringing bells, and firing cannon and pyrotechnics, and music, and crowd: ed streets, and fervent shouts,—a meaning that the future will interpret by a millenium of peace and a coafederation of nationalities, for the strong desire of the present surely indicates the time to be. A Woman Sinarve 1n tue Nica. —A clear, sweet voice, a silvery trill, a tone of pathos—how they cleave the starry atmosphere, and bathe the listening sou! in tenderness! Memory, floating on those tremulous waves of sound, is borne to other scenes— to the hazy shores of the long forgotten past. The dreamy echoes of exquisite old melodies awake within the heart and mingle with that woman’s singing inthe night. It is a mother’s song of love, so gaily warbled when a bride, and afterwards more plaintively in widowhood. How much of sadness in the sound—of vain regret —of keen, protracted yearning !— How the heart beats its mournful measure, and tears obscure “ the. windows of the soul!’”— “ Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depth ofgome divine despair.
