Prophecy Respecting the Mines Of Calfor.

This extraordinary range Of mountains,
1.-THE Rocky Mountains. which he calls Shin.
ing Mountains, is CO lcuated 10 be more than
three thousand miles in length, without any
very cousidera bic intervals, which, believe,
surpasses anything oil the kind in the other
quarters OF the globe. Probably. in future
ages, they may be found TO contain more
riches in their bowels than those Of Hindoos-
tan and Malabar or than are produced on the
goldeu coss, oil Guiena; nor will | kept
even the Peruvian mines.
To the west ot the mountains, when sX.
plored by future Columbuses or Raleighs, may
be found other lakes. rivers and countries,
iull tranght with all the necessares or lux
uries OF hie, aud when future generations
may hnd an asylum, whether driven from
their country by the farages OF lawless ty
rants, or by religious prosecutions, or reluc-
family leaving II 10 remedy the inconven-
fences arising from superintendent increase

ABORIGINAL VISITORS.

Th-.A with tr, un 'fn~.ss~y evening. in our
CITY, twelve Chippewa ludlons, including six
> Aniefs and two females, travelling under the
protection OF Maj. J, B. Martell. himself
member OF their tribe. They left their homes
at La Poinit, " hich is at the head OF Lake
Superior, on the 18th oil October. to 60 TO
Washington City, 10 endeavor to effect some
arrange ment with the Federal Government on
behalf of their people, whereby they will be
SLOWED TO retain possession OF the graves OF
their fathers, and an amount OF territory suf-
fcient for sustaining themselves by tiliaye-
10 which employment they desire to devote
themselves. They travelled from La Poinie to
st Pau's, just below the falls OF St. Anthony,
on the Mississippi, alternately on loot and in
their birch canoes. AT ST. Pauls they took
steamboat for ST Louis, Cincinnati. &c. Their
people entertain a strong desire to build
houses and cultivate the soil and are irrscon-
cilably averse to being removed from the
graves and hearthstones OF their fathers, to
be crowded among strangers of other tribes,
habits, pursuits and destiny. Their object
seems very laudabe one
The above Company will be At the City
Hall on Thursday, (to-morow, } evening and
we hope they will receive the patronage to
which their characters entitle them.

THE BRIDG +.

This great work is gradually progressing;
but we confess we had not fully estimated
the extent OF the work, its gigantic proper.
tions OF the labor it would require. We Wis
tied the structure on this side last evening
and could see the manifest progress, on the
towers, since our last visit. 1t 10 three or
four weeks since the towers were commenced
and they have now six full courses on each,
making about eleven feet above The road way.
These grow smaller as ihey rise, and We
would suppose twelve weeks more oil good
weather would complete the towers on this
side and place those on the other, we'll ahead.
They will not have this until spring, in all
probability. All the other work except the
stone, is completed and ready to go up. The
day when this Reat structure will actually be
completed cannot be precisely determined, as
il has been postponed by the difficulty Of OBJ
tanning hands; but we think il cannot be ls.er
than the Isl OF May next and then Wheel
ing will have work enduring for ages that
will be at once source OF prosperity and
pride

FORK AND BEEF TRADE OF HANNI
EAI

The HsnnibsI (Mo.) Courier. Of the 9Th
Inst, says:
The three packing Establishments Of this
city have been in iuli blast for the past few
weeks. Notwithstanding the large numbers
OF beeves and hogs daily coming ia, such are
the facilities for saughtering. that they are
disposed Of as rapidly az they arrive. The
principal amou II OF packing. 80 far, has been
IN Beef, the season cor the arrival OF pork not
having yet reached lis maturity
The Courier states that the establishment
referred to, employ about two hundred hsnds
and Kill on an average two hundred and thlr-
y hive head OF Berves, aud nine hundred
hogs per day. The amount Of slaughtering
by the three, during the present SEASON, was
Tour thousand Beryes and thr e thousand Hogs.
The prices paid have ranged from S250 10
$500 for bceves, and $500 TO So so for hogs,
per hundred lbs. The prices paid to hands,
from s 10 $3.50 per joy. The Courier adds.
cit is the opinion OF those engaged in the
business that the amount OF packing done
here this season will greatly exceed that oil
any former season. Indeed the great increase
oil the trade, not only here. but in all the Up
per Mississippi country. in the last few years
Is truly astonishing. Five years ago such
thing pork packing establishment was un-
heard OF in this region OF country. -Four
years ago il was attempted, and few lean
mast-ied hogs (none scarcely weighing over
200 lbs.,) were killed. Since then the bust
ness OF raising and packing has gradually in-
creased, until now the country 10 filed with
| Hogs and Bceyes Of the finest quality, driv-
ing in every direction to the various markets. y

II the public expense. 1t occurs TO Us. that
this is the most sure and speedy way. to get
the city in clean and healthy condition. To
our own certain know ledge, notwithstanding
the directions and threats OF the Board Of
Health, very few families have done anything
towards cleaning up.
II may be objected, that it is too early to
make these preparations, that before the chole-
"a reaches Us, the beneficial effects OF such
purgation will have been exhausted. We re-
mark, that the health Of the city will be i'm
proved from other diseases, and that these
measures can be repea ted in the spring.
We hope the Council will take some steps
more cer,oiu OF success, than those recon-
mended by the Board Of Health.

cure TO the country the full benefit Of the
gold in California. lie says;-
1.-THE only secure method OF at once causing
the gold TO flow into the States, in authorisa-
tion by the Secretary ut the Treasury, to the
Governor OF other agent in California to

ington. New York, or Phiadelphia. for ell
quantities OF gold in excess OF .wo pounds

aucb blls representing only four iifths a 3th)
OF the per value OF the gold
The practical working OF the plan would
BE-, lhats party having five pounds OF gold,
would receive bills Of exchange equal in dol
lars 10 the par val ue at the mint of four
pounds OF gold, Together with a set OF bills
