WASHINGTON CoRREsPoNDEEcE.-The reader
will find in anolher column letter from
Washington which speaks in high praise of our
able and worthy Representative. 1t is from
the pen of gentleman Of high character and
discernment, reporter for several of the city
papers, who has promised US an occasional ia

We heartily rejoice that the honest and pat

the expences of the Government aud corFeci
the abuses that have crept in under corrupt

much confidence in the indomitable energy OF

Patrons and friends forgive this idle roaming
Now to our home--the truant pen is coming;
Hail indiana good and pleasant State,
Whose sons are young and brave, and some
times great;
The progress onward must be sure and steady
Though sometimes "Roagh" for business ever
Ready"
And with Free Schools" and Telegraphic lore,
The stores of wisdom will Fillmore and more!
And what of Evansville that city fair,
Where fitting forms-the hues of beauty wear;
Full Of resources, central busy, gay
With Locomotive speed she wends her way
And now kind friends III interpose no barrier
Between your purse-a 'sQuarter" and

AT HoME-After an absence of four weeks
the Editor is again at his post. During our
absence, as our readers are aware, we have
been dancing attendance upon the Legislature
of our State, foF the purpose of aiding in secur-
ing charter for Rail Road from this city TO
cross theWabash at Mt. Carmel, ILL.,, and in
other matters OF deep interest to this section OF
the State, and we are happy in informing the
public that such charter as we believe will
secure the speedy completion of the work has
been granted by the Legislature. With no de-
sire whatever 10 appropriate 10 ourself any OF
the credit of the speedy passage of this meas
ure, we nevertheless feel warranted in saying
that to the untiring exertions of the "lobby
members" from this section is its success main
" attributable. II is true that most of the
regular members from the Pocket" were ia
vorabe to the measure, but not all, and from
other portions of the State there was found TO
be much opposition, some for one cause and
some for another, and some for no cause what
ever Prudent management on the part OF
our delegates, however, at least succeeded in
overcoming all opposition, and we congratu-
late our citizens upon the bright prospect which
the completion Of this work will open TO them
which will secure to them the rich trade of all
or nearly all of south eastern Illinois, and of
the upper Wabash country at such times as
low water in the Wabash prevents its naviga-
ton below the Improvements at the Rapids.
Our citizens should at once take the necessary
steps in the matter and go to work early to
reap The advantages which the completion of
this work will secure to them.
The delegates from this city, in addition to
their other duties, were able TO collect much
valuable information relative to the cost and
construction of Railroads, &C., which the Com
mittee and the Trustees named in the charter
should be in possession of, and we presume
there will be meeting called TO hear their re-
port at an early day. The charter will soon
o- prlE "a and before the public.

CHRISTMAS has come agaiu-that sacred day,
That bursts in annual radiance on our way:
With deepening influence, and widespread
light
Diffusing JOY, and chasing mental night:
Devotion, rireside love, their aid mpart
| And sway with softening power The yielding
heart;
The Schoolboy dreams throughall the lingering
| year
OF ''Chrlstmas Holiday '-to all so dear;
| The electric chain of sympathy we touch
Nor weakly fear that we concede TOO much.
| What era is like this7 with Faith to guide,
We pour out JOY in one commingling tide;
For Christmas still is found in Cot or Hall
| A peerless festival Of love to all!
The Year is Meaningless, the lame old Year
Now asks one kindly thought-or pitying tear;
He shivers with the cold-and toltering on,
Looks calmly forward to his burial stone:
And though with thOughtless cruelty we look,
With eager JOY 10 that unopened Book,
The coming iear-We may not see its face!
Death on his tablets yet, our names can trace;
But Hope is in the heart, and every tear
Called forth by scenes of sadness through the
year
Is now forgotten in the joyous cheer.
PEACE smiles around us-dasolating War
No more domestic ties sha Il rudely mar
He who led armies guides the Ship OF State
Alike IN all positions good and great;
Wisdom has trumphed and with loud acclaim
THE People" rose in honor TO his name,
Like some fair Doric column, to the eye
Sublime, ne stands in simple majesty.
To him we our destiny freely confide

The eyes of many Nations turn 10 thee;
Healthy young Mother, Of sturdy race,
Whose hopes no tyranny can e'er eface;
Thou refuge from the Old Worlds bondage

A Monarchy does all that man can dare!

To grasp a welcome, a our open door;
E Ell now, what startling visions may we see
of future notwithstanding Sea 10 Sea;
Our worldwide prairies and our gold-strewn
plain
The mighty Railroads--and the thirst for gain,
The fearless enterprise-the rapid stride.
Where Indians rove, will be the spindle piled,
No cold deters us-and no heat annoys-
We play with terrors-as the child with toys;
Dark is the future-nay it ever be-
Protected bv the Shield of Liberty!

GOLD IN CALIFoREiA.-The accounts which
have reached the States of the richness of the
Gold mines in California, and which are con-
irmed by the report of Col Mason, recently
published, seem to have turned the heads of
very many of our people with the desire to
grow suddenly rich by going to that Ell Dorado
and digging gold. We hear of companies form
ing in all parts of the country for that purpose
and we learn upon our arrival home that the
teUcr has attacked quite number of the citi-
zens of this place, who are not likely to be sat
isfed with anything short of sight of the
chunks OF the metal, which il seems may be
dug up in any quantity and in almost any part
of that tie rritory We have no doubt that gold
ore is toleraby plenty there and tolerably pure,
in fact that there is very little else there but
gold ore, which has become cheap from that
fact. Our young men should beware that they
do not too readily yield to the fascination oil
adventure nor the delusion of acquiring sudden
wealth. 1t is well said by contemporary that
there is no road to sure and steady prosperity
so inviting as that of industry in the usual avo-
cations of life. The most mis- cradle, the most
unsuccessful men of this world, are fortune
hunters.
