PONY EXPRESS. The feat of the Pony Express tu crossing the Continent west ef Miscouri river to Car son City. over barren bills, sandy deserts, mountain torrents and Alpine snows. through an atmosphere of wintry coldness. altogether comprehending a distance ef more than 1,600 miles, beset for the most part hy aboriginal savages, challenges our admira tion and startles us with an exultant ambition, which teaches us to believe. justiy, that baman will, power, device. and intre pidity, surpass in their achievements even the extravagaucies of speculation. In the year 1849 what way-worn and starving Pilgrim to Califoraia would hare berne with patience the assertion that, in leas than ten years from that time, the distance which occupied; bim six months hard labor to traverse, would be passed over in a little more than seven days? It could have scarcely been entertained by the most san guine and comprehensive mind, at the period ef which we speak, that the means could have possibly been brought about whereby the transit acress the Plaine could be aceom. plished at the rate of nearly rex miles an hour, night and day, successively, until the Courier Pony, with the edicts of government and commerce, should stand on the very sheres of the Pacific, with convulsive chest and reeking body, to stimulate to a still higher pitch the unflagging energy of the? great metropelitan city of the west. The advent of the Poay is significant, and ' the effects of his triumph will be most bene. ; ; i ties OUR INCONSISTENCY. 3RUTAL.—Some weeks since aChinawomaa .

The doctor left— . places than the streets of the town. from the Chinese miner’s tax for the support of government, The Chinaman takes from the mines in the course of the year say $1,000; his license for so doing is $48. This amount of treas ure, though taken from our soil, yivids to the country but the paltry amount ef $48, ficiently felt to the uttermost ramifications { Which itis taken away to China th ere to re. ef human concern.

The Pony is a great consolation to us all in California, expatriated as we are from our kindred and our native land.

We are. inueeJ, with them, as it were, aud with this soothing confidence we cease te feel our expatriation, which otherwise would be unendurable, aud are content to enjoy the unrivalled advantages and joys of California, and under the influence of a strong domestic sentiment, build up an empire on the Pacific, the glories of whose 1 $100 000,000 outright from the mines of California for a mere nominal consideration! To permit ourselves to be robbed of our wealth in this manner seems to us the perpetration of an incredible folly. When will . itcease, where will it cease, and how will it civilization shall be beld up as an example to the rest of the world. In @ commercial point of view the Pony Express will prove invaluable in keeping up a balance of trade, harmonizing the supply . with the demand, preventing that fluctuation . in the market which has proved so injurious to the prosperity of the State and so calamitous to merchants. Loosing its isolated character, which has heretofore been the chief feature of repugnance to the people of the Atlantic seaboard, California will be a land of unquallified attractions to the emigrant. We shall receive a fresh and powerful impulse in the peopling of the Pacific Coast. Our pepulation will double ina few years; our importance and influence will likewise double, and our claims on the Union will augment in a like ratio, se that if not already, we soon shall be warranted in demanding, as a matter of right, the construction of the Pacific Railroad by the United States Gov. ernment. We believe that the Pony Express has be put-an end to? Why is it that we do not . discover our true interests, so protruded as they are before us, and legislate vigerously for our own welfare and that of eur own race in time to come? The liberality of our institutions it seems has a tendency to run into the ice of licentiousness, and our generosity to degenerate into the error of profusion. Voting against negro slavery and then fostering Chinamen is an anomoleus piece of histury. Verily “we've gaged at a gnat and swallowed a camel.” THE TOWN. Since the fire of 1855 which ended in the almost total destruction of the place, Grass . Valley bas gone on with uninterrupted and increasing prosperity. All the appliances for making people better, more sociable, richer and happier, have heen developed and brought to bear in a most satisfactory manner. We bave large and fine churches aad they are well attended by people who . have the best of preaching from our taleoted and studious clergy. The increase of attendance upon church since is worthy of . notice. It has certainly doubled in the tast . three years, with no proportional increase . in population, Besides, the people dress far better than they did two years ago ; in fact, almost everybedy is nicely dressed up on Sunday, a thing entirely practicable in so rich a Staté as Califoruia, where clethes the door was closed after him, and the poor creature left desolate, unaided aud uncon. . soled to” grapple alone with the King of . Terrors—for thus he is, even to the moat abject, to whom it weuld seem be were, in. deed, an unfailing friend. 1t appears to us, . a theological question, whether such anl. mals are possessed of souls or not. . Deronmen Canves.-— We are informed Lapies Festivan.—Thias entertainment, under the patronage ef the ladies for the benefit of the M. E. Church, came off daly at Hamilton Hall, and was flatteringly attended. Three hundred ladies and gentle men, consisting of about an equal number . of either, graced the occasion. The Grase . Valley brass band blowed powerfully and at : . euphoeiously, regaling not on! ei * that a gentleman living near this pluce, en. UP? : gellng not only the imme gaged in the stock business, has about fifty calves of which there are but two or three . that are perfect in their conformation. and even these are feeble and poor. This only an example of the general rule thronghout the State where cattle have wintered with diMiculty, from the scareity of food. Meager and defeetive nutrition is just as certain to resul¢ in imperfectly developed or monstrous animal life, as stunted or sickly plants from soil unfitted for their production, Here we learn a great lesson. Obedience to the inexorable laws of nature is the price of perfection in everything. Proper shelter, clothing and feeding refines the body and the mind, and exalts the powers of both. When we study the changes which we know do occur in animal and vegetable life, as the result of circumstances, the most extraragent ideas in relation to the changes which our species may undergo—either on the ascending or descending seale—are not incompatible with reason. A refined education (and the education of the stomach is equally important with that of the brain) will end in a comparatively refined existence, and a coarse education (coarse victuals and coarse associations) will most positively producea creation of gross features, and more o1 less obtuse toa perception of the delicate and beautiful. Itis not at all strange that the Digger, living upon the diffuse clements of acorns, grass, clover and Manzanita berries, with a sprinkling of grasshoppers and divers insects, as he does, should present a ridiculously hideons burlesque on the buman phiz. Pensoxnan.—We were favored last weex with a visit from our old friend, Mr. Wm. . L. Freeman, This gentleman was one of the first publishers of a sporting paper on the Pacific Coasi. They named it the Spirit of the Times, and aiter andergoing the ups diate guests of the festival but the whole }town with their music. The pleasures of the evening were made up of promenade s, conversation and plays, The printers would respectfully acknowledge their jobli gations to the ladies for complimentary . tickets. The sapper was excellent and in great abundance, and everything passed off in that agreeable manner which we might expect under the management of the ladies. Give um 4 Caaxce.—Brether Relfe, give . yeur neighbor Waite a little encouragement . when he manifests a wish to embrace a sound political creed. Ifa man wishes to do good, don’t shame, rev'le and tantalize him by!) continually exhibiting to him the deformi. ties of his past life. This is unrighteous. . “While the lamp holds owt to burn . The vilest sinner may return.” Here's the true doctrine for you.

PONY EXPRESS. The feat of the Pony Express tu crossing the Continent west ef Miscouri river to Car son City. over barren bills, sandy deserts, mountain torrents and Alpine snows. through an atmosphere of wintry coldness. altogether comprehending a distance ef more than 1,600 miles, beset for the most part hy aboriginal savages, challenges our admira tion and startles us with an exultant ambition, which teaches us to believe. justiy, that baman will, power, device. and intre pidity, surpass in their achievements even the extravagaucies of speculation. In the year 1849 what way-worn and starving Pilgrim to Califoraia would hare berne with patience the assertion that, in leas than ten years from that time, the distance which occupied; bim six months hard labor to traverse, would be passed over in a little more than seven days? It could have scarcely been entertained by the most san guine and comprehensive mind, at the period ef which we speak, that the means could have possibly been brought about whereby the transit acress the Plaine could be aceom. plished at the rate of nearly rex miles an hour, night and day, successively, until the Courier Pony, with the edicts of government and commerce, should stand on the very sheres of the Pacific, with convulsive chest and reeking body, to stimulate to a still higher pitch the unflagging energy of the? great metropelitan city of the west. The advent of the Poay is significant, and ' the effects of his triumph will be most bene. ; ; i ties OUR INCONSISTENCY. 3RUTAL.—Some weeks since aChinawomaa .

The Pony is a great consolation to us all in California, expatriated as we are from our kindred and our native land.

We are. inueeJ, with them, as it were, aud with this soothing confidence we cease te feel our expatriation, which otherwise would be unendurable, aud are content to enjoy the unrivalled advantages and joys of California, and under the influence of a strong domestic sentiment, build up an empire on the Pacific, the glories of whose 1 $100 000,000 outright from the mines of California for a mere nominal consideration! To permit ourselves to be robbed of our wealth in this manner seems to us the perpetration of an incredible folly. When will . itcease, where will it cease, and how will it civilization shall be beld up as an example to the rest of the world. In @ commercial point of view the Pony Express will prove invaluable in keeping up a balance of trade, harmonizing the supply . with the demand, preventing that fluctuation . in the market which has proved so injurious to the prosperity of the State and so calamitous to merchants. Loosing its isolated character, which has heretofore been the chief feature of repugnance to the people of the Atlantic seaboard, California will be a land of unquallified attractions to the emigrant. We shall receive a fresh and powerful impulse in the peopling of the Pacific Coast. Our pepulation will double ina few years; our importance and influence will likewise double, and our claims on the Union will augment in a like ratio, se that if not already, we soon shall be warranted in demanding, as a matter of right, the construction of the Pacific Railroad by the United States Gov. ernment. We believe that the Pony Express has be put-an end to? Why is it that we do not . discover our true interests, so protruded as they are before us, and legislate vigerously for our own welfare and that of eur own race in time to come? The liberality of our institutions it seems has a tendency to run into the ice of licentiousness, and our generosity to degenerate into the error of profusion. Voting against negro slavery and then fostering Chinamen is an anomoleus piece of histury. Verily “we've gaged at a gnat and swallowed a camel.” THE TOWN. Since the fire of 1855 which ended in the almost total destruction of the place, Grass . Valley bas gone on with uninterrupted and increasing prosperity. All the appliances for making people better, more sociable, richer and happier, have heen developed and brought to bear in a most satisfactory manner. We bave large and fine churches aad they are well attended by people who . have the best of preaching from our taleoted and studious clergy. The increase of attendance upon church since is worthy of . notice. It has certainly doubled in the tast . three years, with no proportional increase . in population, Besides, the people dress far better than they did two years ago ; in fact, almost everybedy is nicely dressed up on Sunday, a thing entirely practicable in so rich a Staté as Califoruia, where clethes the door was closed after him, and the poor creature left desolate, unaided aud uncon. . soled to” grapple alone with the King of . Terrors—for thus he is, even to the moat abject, to whom it weuld seem be were, in. deed, an unfailing friend. 1t appears to us, . a theological question, whether such anl. mals are possessed of souls or not. . Deronmen Canves.-— We are informed Lapies Festivan.—Thias entertainment, under the patronage ef the ladies for the benefit of the M. E. Church, came off daly at Hamilton Hall, and was flatteringly attended. Three hundred ladies and gentle men, consisting of about an equal number . of either, graced the occasion. The Grase . Valley brass band blowed powerfully and at : . euphoeiously, regaling not on! ei * that a gentleman living near this pluce, en. UP? : gellng not only the imme gaged in the stock business, has about fifty calves of which there are but two or three . that are perfect in their conformation. and even these are feeble and poor. This only an example of the general rule thronghout the State where cattle have wintered with diMiculty, from the scareity of food. Meager and defeetive nutrition is just as certain to resul¢ in imperfectly developed or monstrous animal life, as stunted or sickly plants from soil unfitted for their production, Here we learn a great lesson. Obedience to the inexorable laws of nature is the price of perfection in everything. Proper shelter, clothing and feeding refines the body and the mind, and exalts the powers of both. When we study the changes which we know do occur in animal and vegetable life, as the result of circumstances, the most extraragent ideas in relation to the changes which our species may undergo—either on the ascending or descending seale—are not incompatible with reason. A refined education (and the education of the stomach is equally important with that of the brain) will end in a comparatively refined existence, and a coarse education (coarse victuals and coarse associations) will most positively producea creation of gross features, and more o1 less obtuse toa perception of the delicate and beautiful. Itis not at all strange that the Digger, living upon the diffuse clements of acorns, grass, clover and Manzanita berries, with a sprinkling of grasshoppers and divers insects, as he does, should present a ridiculously hideons burlesque on the buman phiz.

The sapper was excellent and in great abundance, and everything passed off in that agreeable manner which we might expect under the management of the ladies.
