Arms and Ammunition for California.

Hon. George w. Crawford, Secretary Of
War, has published the following notice -
WAR DEPARTMENT, March IA, l849,
The following regulations will govern in
issuing arms and ammunition, under the
resolution of Congress, approved March 2,
lS49:
l. Each applicant must send to the
War Department that it is bis bona fde in
lention to emigrate to Oregon, or Calitor-
fornia, or New Mexico, as the case may be,

ammunition he requires.
2. On the receipt of an application, and
affidavit as above stated, sufficient supply
of the arms and ammunition designated by

ment thereof: provided the government has
such arms, and the same can be sold with

may be well for that officer to move careful

no more power, then, over the people Of

"Down with the boats from the quarter-launch
the longboat," shouted Seth. But the command,
though it could not have been uttered nor exc
cued sooner with safety, came too late. The
aim of Seth had been too fatally sure The
boats reached the spot, and narrowly escaped
being sucked into the vortex where the schoon-
er had gone down. The French crew were all
sent to their long account; and the next wave
left not trace of the wreck, nor a solitary hu-

The Silent Influence Of Christians.

The Bible calls the good mans life a
light, and it is the nature Of light to flow
cut spontaneously in all directions, and fill
the world unconsciousIy with It's beams.-
So the Christian shines, it would say, not
so much, because he will, as because he is
luminous object, Not that the active in
huence of Christians is made of no &C
count in the figure, but only that this sym.
Dol of light has its property, in the fact that
their unconscious influence is the chief in
huence, and has the precedence in its pow
er over the world. And yet there are ma
ny who will be ready to think that light is
a very tame and feeble instrument, because
it is noisees. An earthquake for example,
is to them a much more vigorous agency
Hear how it comes laundering through the
solid foundations Of nature. 1t rocks a
whole continent. The nobest works of
man, cities, monuments, temples, are in a
moment levcled TO the ground, or swallow
ed down the opening gulphs of fire. Little
do they think that the light Of every morn
ing, the soft genial silent light, is all a.
gent many times more powerful. But let
the light OF the morning cease ami return
no more---iet the hour of morning come
and bring with it no dawn; the outcres of
horror stricken world fill the air, and
make as it were, the darkness audible. The
beasts 90 wild and frantic at the loss of the
sun. The vegetable growth turn pale and
die A chill creeps on and frosty winds be-
gin to howl across the freezing earth. Cold
er, and vet colder is the night. The vital
blood at lenght Of all creatures stops con-
gealed, down goes the frost towards the
earth's centre. The heart Of the sea is
itozen-nay the earthquakes themselves are
frozen IN, under their fiery caverns. The
globe itself too, and all the fellow planets
mat have lost their sun, are become mere
balls OF ice, swinging silent in the darkness.
such is light, which revists us in the ST.
lenee OF the morning. 1t makes no shock
or scar II would not awake an infant in IFS
cradle And yet it perpetualy new creates
the world, rescuing it each morning. as a
prey IRON night and chaos. SO the Chris.
tan is light even the light of the world. )
and we must not think that because he
shines insensibly or silently as a mere OBJ.

The Mormon Temple,

BY a letter received at Niles from a gen.
tleman, dated Aug. ID, written while ell.
camped on the Sweet Water River at the
South Pass, (in sight of Fremont's Peak, }
we gather some information which may not
be uninteresting to our readers. The new
Mormon Temple at the Salt Lake is to be a
splendid building. They have enclosed lot
seventeen mics bong t@el.4 aide, with a
mud wall eight feet high and four feet thick.
There are to be four cities inside. They
have discovered mountain rock that rescm-
bes cornelian stone, which the writer SAYS
is beautiful for temples and pillars The
size ofthe temple is not stated, bnt its high
est point is 10 be six hundred feet, and can
he seen eighty miles either way. The par.
ty that went out last season lost many OF their
oxen-having died with what they called the
."swelI head Many Of the streams which
they crossed were so mpregnmed with al
kali that they dared not let their cattle drink.
On the shores of many Of the lakes a crust
is formed an inch and half thick They
break up this crust, scrape off the dirt on the
bottom and top, and find it pure saleratus.
Strange as this may seem, it is neyerlhe-
less true, and the writer collected in a short
time IS pounds. A mountain ofpure rock
salt has been discovered near the Mormon
settlement, The Mormons have discovered
a ,ich gold mine $50 miles southwest from
the Salt Lake, The last end of the jour

way the roads are as good as on any prairie
in Michigan. The writer was living on the
meat of bears, antelope and bulfIloes-ani
mails very numerous on the route. He re
commends mule teams instead OF oxen, and
that COWS be driven along for Their milk, and
for beef if necessary.

Condition of Great Britain,

In IA series of articles recently published
in the Boston Courier, much attention has
been given to the conditions of affairs in
the old world. Among other topics dis
cussed pertaining to the "mistress of the
seas, is that of the internal condition of the
country, in the course of which it is re-
marked that there never was another EN-
pire under the sun, eihea in ancient or
modern times, the relations of which were
so complicated as those of Great Britain
There never was an empire whose prosper.
ity and safety depended on so many contin.
gencics-upon the harmonious working to-
gether of so many diverse pieces of politi-
cal machinery Consequently. 10 empire
was ever more liable 10 accidents, or re-
quired a more constant watchfulness and
nicely of calculation in the administration
of its GanaraEnnnmnTbe four winds of
heaven blow rom tne~10hr quarters of the
globe something to shake London and Liv
erpool and it is not to be wondered at if
an universal trembeing becomes a chronic
disease of Great Britain, when she is en-
tangled in spder-net of political relations,
the threads ofwhich run over the four great
continents of the earth. A faction in
Canada, or battle at the foot of the Him
aaya, causes the stock exchange to "shiv-
err" wherever British securities are bought
aud sold. The business operations which
put the bread into the mouth of British
laborer are disturbed by the march of a
troop of Cossacks in the East. or flourish
of pen or a tongue in the West Great
Britain, in word, lacks whoIeness, and
without Wilderness there can be no bodily
health. She pays dearly for the splendor Of
her conquests and territorial acquisitions in
the load of anxiety, and the fear of change,
which now lie like nightmare upon her
The wide.sread mantle of her imperial sway
only covers-inherent weakness and the sour
ces of inevitable Decay aud downfall.

TIE SECRET OF HAPPINESS. No trait of
character is more valuable in a lady than
the possession of a sweet temper. Home
never can be happy without it. Those who
understand this secret, live so comfortable
that they are the envy of their friesds Peo-
pie wonder that their houses are in such
good order-their husbands 50 attentive,

swee, temper has soothing influence over
the minds Of a whole family. Whenever it
is found, in the wife or mother, you observe
Kindness and virtue predominating over the

beauty; and to the close OF life it retains all
its freshness and power.

When first the Dove, aflr.ond wide,
Skinned the dark watcrso'cr,
To seek beyond the leaving tide
A green and peaceful shore,
No leafy boughs, nor lile.Ike thing,
Rose mid the swelling main
The lone bird sought with faltering wing
That h2llowed ark again,
And ever thus Mans heart hath traced
A lone and weary round;
But never yet mid carth's dark waste
A resting place hath found.
The peace for which his spirit yoarns
Is ever sought in vain,

And finds its God again.
