1. . Among the fat ! . body will do is quite plain. & confiscation act. Whether it will be made applicable to any States but those in actual rebellion, is 4 mattér of some doubt. The law will possibly shape itself to suit events x ate can not say anything but praise of Mr. Whittier’s last volume, ‘“‘ Home Ballads and Poenié.” The English critic, usually so snrly, ‘as they transpire before the enactment ofthe law. If the Secessionists keep on a “ramof the Jaboring classes hae betrayed, and the result ‘has fd hos been réburied in the from whence it came, and there it reMining nothing to iteowner.

The interest due, They are convertible into cash on _ preseiitation to a broker dealing in such se“ment hae #0 far been unablo to furnish ,the ‘serip:aa fot/ne the applications for it cdine. In thé Bnet, t0° we are informed on thorou hly reliuble authority, it is the ambition of laboring men to procure a fifty dollar Goy-etament note, if they are not able to pur. hase those of a higher denomination. The wich and the poor alike go to the extent of their means in investing in Government secunities. Califeruia is beholden to the Govern‘mentdn mony respects. She is the child of the Government, purchased at a price, and sustained by the fostering aid of the United States. By the powerful arm of the Goy“ernment we are enabled to work, without price, the richest mines in the world, pock. ting all we make. The Government, now Gn difficulty, gives us an opportunity to ex‘hibit our gratitade, which we can do without For thé benefit of those wishing to suberie to the National Loau, we would state. that suis of fifty, one hundred, five hundred ora thousand dollars can be sent to D. W. Cheesinan, San Francisco, by Wells, Fargo & Co., who will see that the notes are sent _ i return for the cash. T. Ellard Beans, Hoq ,,of this city, will take pleasure in giving all needful information to those wishing to subscribe. We trust that every person who @on spare fifty dollars, or more, will come forward with it. tH The ‘Ban Francisco Evenng Journal #eys the owners of the steamer Nevada claim eunk in the late collision ran into the Nevada, not the Nevada runinto her. She was load. ed.with paving cobbles, was coming. down with a fall tide and current and under fu); gull, showing no Tight. When the pilot of the ‘Nevada saw her he instantly backed the boat, wit too lute to prevent a collision. ‘I'be bow of the Nevnda owt the schooner down near the foremost. The schooner and cargo are @totil lows, Whole value $6,008. Tur Los Angeles Star eays on Saturday ‘Twat, a row occurred between twa or three Mexicans and an Indien, when the former made an attack on the fatter, who, in defendjng bimeelf, killed one of his assailants, and. _ eo wounded another that his life is despaired Tres Srinat Column Sunperep.—A New York correspondent-of the St. Louis Repubtien says that the etruggle may now be con,vaidered ee nearly over, and sothe ure halt re» gretting that the war bids fair to be euded Waar tr Costs.—Memminger, Secrets fy ofthe Treasury of the Southern Confedernoy, says it costs $250,000,000 a year to nual tux of $46 on every white man, woman eat . conduct themselves. that the schooner Mary A. Evans which was themselves or pt , buton the other hand, ‘. should they demean themselves properly there is at least one chance in five that they will be let alone in the States that are true tothe Union. Much depends upon how they Nevertheless, after their President has recommended the confiscation of all the property ef Union men in the Confederate States valued at eight hundred milhone of dollars, it'requires a strong exercise of the virtues ot Christian forbearance, tu keep hands off’ the property of the’ devils. At first sight policy seoms to say, “get even at all hazards.” How tar Con-' gress will be guided by the spirit of Christian forgiveness we are unable to predict.— The policy of the Secetsionists for the present, is todraw it mild. Any other course is dangerous to them. A Russian Repustican Parer.—Traly, the world moves. Even the old empire of _dtussia, the classic land of serfdom and autoeracy, is waking from her leng torpor, and the clanking of her chains begins to be heard as she, for the first time in her existence, makes an effort to shake them off. That effort, if is true, is but feeble as yet, but appearances indicate that it will not stop there. A Ruesian paper is published in Londow, entitied Kolokol (The Bell) intended to open the eyes of the Russian .people, and in spite of the utmost vigilance of the Russian Government, large numbers of copies of the Kolokol are being constantly smuggled into the country and secretly read with great avidity by the people. The editor, Mr. Alexander Herzen, not long since received a letter informing him that the secret police of St. Peters‘burg was bound to have him kidnapped or killed. Tue KIND oF Brivges.—The loss of bridges by the flood, and the experience of the past in the same line, demonstrate the folly of building the old and ordinary kind of bridges across our mountain streams.— The kind of bridge needed and. which.all toll bridge owners will have to resert te sooner or later, and the seoner the better, is the wire suspension, such as is building in this aity over Deer Creek. When that is completed it is probable it will recommend itself to all persons -about to build bridges over mountain streams. Fosrer’s Bar Inunparep.—Mr. Freemanof Freeman's Crossing threw a: slip. of paper in a piece of lead pipe across the Mid. dle Yaba, yesterday; which was handed us lastevening by Col. -Potter. From it we learn that the river rose. thirty-two feet at Foster's Rat and swept away all the buildings except the Umop Hotel, which occupied a little higher ground than the remainder of the town. Freeman says they are short of provisions on his side, but that ‘he will have anew bridge by the Ist of January, He jaquires anxiously about Marysville and Sacramento, and desires to know if Wood's Bridge ie gone. : a. NEVADA JOURNAL.—The accounts due the Nevada Journal have been placed in the hands of E. L. Craig, Eeq., by the District Court,.fer collection. Attention is called to the notice of the Commissioner, in another colemn, ‘C3 A writer, who says be knows the entire crowd, informs the Union that Brigadier Geueral R. M. Martin, of Siskiyou, lately appointed to that position by the Governor, and his whole staff, are Secessionista, anticoercioniats, or whatever youmay call them. ‘Let all these appointees be overhauled by the Benute. . dollars, in a Paris court, for running her bug{ay over an apple woman.

Mr. Whittier may not ascend any Vi i ia 7 ly @ seer according to his range. His song is simple and sound, sweet and strong. We take up his book as Lord Bacon liked to take up the bit of fresh earth, wet with morning and fragrant with wine. It has the healthy smell of Yankée soil with the wine of fanc poured over it. We get a gush of the prairie breeze, weird whispers from the dark eerie belie of pine, watts of the salt sea winds wandering iwland. superb scents of the starred magnolias and box-tree blossoming white. We hear the low of cattle, the buzzling of bees, the lusty song of the huskers, brown and ruddy, the drunken laughter of Pap bob-o-link. Here are green memorials of the New World’s spring of promise, golden memorials of her abundance when the. horn of autumn is poured into the overflowing lap of man ; we see the white horns toga ing over the farm yard wall, the cock crowing in the sun with his comb glowing a most vital red, the brown gable of the old barn, running roses up to the eaves of the swallow haunted homestead, the sun ‘tangling his wings of fire’ in the net work of green leaves, the aronia by the river lighting up the swarming shad, the river full of sun-shine, with the bouny blue above the blithe blink of sea in the distance, and many a sigtit and sound of vernal life and country cheer. No American thas more of the home-made and homerewed than Mr. Whittier. Hi#poetry is not filtered from the German Helicoui ; it is & spring fresh from New World nature; and we gladly welcome its “sprightly runnings.” i “Our Yankee Bard is among poets what Mr. Bright is amongst peace-men. He has the soul of some old Norseman but toned up under the Quakers coat, and the great bursts of heart wi:l often peril the hold of the buttons, whilst the speaker, with all his native therly love and driving itin.’ With him, too, the Norse seul is found fighting for freedom, and he has done good service nm making the heart of the verth beat quicker for the day when black slavery shall be no more, and in bringing about the present movement, which the hopeful look upon as preporatory to the a up of the slave forces fora final t. Why Jewesses are Beavriru.— Chateubriand gives @ financial but an agreeable reason forthe admitted beauty of the Jewish women. Not a Jewess, says he, was to be seen among the crowd of priests and rabble who insulted the Son at dod, scourged Him, crowned Him with thorns, and eubjected Him to infamy and the agony of the cross. The women of Judea believed in the Savior, and assisted and soothed Him under affliction. A woman of Bethany poured on his head precious ointment, which she kept in a vase of alabaster, The sinner annointed. His feet with perfumed oil and wiped them with her hair. Christ on hie part extended merey to the Jewesses. He raised from the dead the son of the widow of Nain, and Martha’s brother Lizarus. He cured Sitouched the hom of his garment. To the Samaritan woman he was a epring of living water, and a compassionate judge to the woman in adultery. .The daughters of Jerusalem wept over him; the holy women accompanied Him to Calvary; brought Him balm and spices, and weeping sought Him in esepuichre. ‘“ Wouan why weepes thou?” His first appearance after the resurrection was to Mary Magdalene, He said to-her, “Mary.” At the sound of his voices Mary Magdalene’s eyes were opened, and she anawered ‘‘ Master.” The reflection ef some beautiful ray must have rested on the brow of the Jewess. ~ k mt WHERE BalILey ts.—The statement that Bailey, the man who, some menths since inpms so many of our speculative citizens, to buy of him for cash, shares in a famous ‘quartz.lead below Los Argeles, fabulously Ach, and who mysterjously disappeared, was in Canada, is confirmed Yesterday, Fred. Kohler received a letter, dated at Canada West, from James Hyslip, (“‘ and old Fortyniner,”) stating that he (Hyslip) had dined in the Colony named, with Bailey, about whose identity he was positive, as be had known him well in California. The faet is’ interesting, only as showing that Bailey may not be expected to turn up in ‘this latitude for some time to come.— Aa. Peantrs ror THe MILLion.—Understanding prubably, there was a great dearth of peanute within the purlieus of the theaters at the metropolis, one — oe (each ng, on in average, thirty-four pounds were shipped to San Pasuiane on emma

They were raised by Mathenay, -an his ranch,.about a mile and a half below Washington, Yolo A BaBy’s Ourrir.—Somebody has been sion of a son being bora to him, with an ‘outGit’ for the little stranger. The happy father prints the ‘items’ as followe :1 embroidered d i uk, tlemen were driving, thie was the 000,000 of people.

Fovance.—The London News in a late ediil upon tne Mauer position of the Unitraffic leaves a balance in America favor of £27,918000, and thereupon adds: These figures denote a revolution in the American of almost as remarkable a character os the attempted revolution in the cudy” ootihay St wvery capOmuny: ‘every stl] ee when we sey America, we mean the North for the statistics cited refer to the great mmporium of Northern trade. For the Seuth 7 . tobe put in funds there murt be not only a. saving but “inflax of money. From this it ix sine dobarted, at the -vety time when the North hurries forward ite grain and other produce to foreign markets, receiving in return the sinews of war. But even this, is not all. California must be taken into account. The receipts. from that quarter in the nine months have been £5. 441,000. Adding this sum to the £8,271,000 imported from Europe and elsewhere, we find that America must possess at this moment £13,712,000 more of the precious metale than she held at this date last year. This is why the money markets of Earope were so much disturbed, and why gold aceuniulaAmerjcan deposituries, whilst the stocks in the Cathe of England and France declined heavily, Moreover apart_from all consideration of patriotism, we have here ample explanation of the remarkable readiness with whieh the American bankers and public have hitherto absorbed the vast masees of government paper created for. the purpose of the war. Sa An Important Want.—An Eastern journal conta:ns the following advertisement: WANTED !—A man to sell daily papers, that can please everybody! Also, a person to deliver mm papers, so that every man may be served first and no one last! Also,a man that can tell just huw many extra papers are wanted every day. To three such Tsons constant employment will be given. lary, $25,000 re te An American clergyman who goes ‘in for elegance of paraphrase, did a fine thing lately in ringing the changes upon “‘ He that bath ears to hear, let him hear.” ‘‘ He that “let him not close the gates of his tympani.” If that ien’t hifalutin, then what is 1t? ee Span AND Mexico.—The Paris correspondent of the Echo du Pacique, speaking of the joist expedition against Mexico, says :— “Spain is determined ou her expedition to Mexico, and on pushing it to the enpital of that country, whether she be assisted in this by the great maritime powers or not, and even if, as was the case with her-Morocco expedition, she were to be opposed by Englend. France will send a brigade of marines and England will limit herself, for the time being, to the sending of & naval foree to operate on the coast.’ 5a , Ey” It is said the Wid Rabbit will breed eleven times in a year, and bring forth generally eight young ones each time; at this rate in four yearaa couple of rabbits would produce 1,800,000 ent ee We stand by the seashere and watch the huge come in: we retreat, thinking we will be overwhélmed ; soon, however, they flow back.

Dirt aww Grave —At each heavy fall of rain the ravines running through the town come down charged with vast quantities of artificial aids, would completely bury the lower part of the town, and utterly destroy the property. The destruction of that property would be a great loss to the city, to say nothing of the loss te the ewners. The question arises, how far the city itself should go to protect that part of the town from these ‘recurring inundatiens.
