State OF Europe.

We give in our journal of to-day, number of
extracts from leading European journals. They
cannot fail to command an attentive perusal.
They furnish us with very important indications
of the tone and current of public opinion on the
other side of the Atlantic.
No American who entertans just conception
of the value of his own rights, and the duties to
which the possession of them should incite him.
can behold without the deepest interest," the present
condition of that ancient world from whence we
ourselves have sprung. There probably never was
period in the history of human affairs, in which
che movements of the great powers of the earth
were invested with SO much grandeur and So
1emnity as at this very moment. Yet it is, per-
haps, not saying too much, when we remark that
the great events following one another in such
quick succession in Europe, do not attract amongst
us that absorbing interest which their magnitude
and importance are calculated to elicit. Indeed,
the very grandeur Of these events, and the ra-
pidity of their occurrence seem to dazzle and be-
wilder the spectator at distance. Like the quiet
family circle, who, seated snugy around the
cheerful firesde, hear unmoved the fierce howlngs
of the tempest which beats harmlessly around
their peaceful dwelling, we, secure and pros
porous beneath the shade of our spreading vine,
look lOrtn WIN, maynap, 100 lttle sympathy on
the struggles of our brethren in other lands, over
which the storm is sweeping. ll
But the hour seems to be at hand when the
most apathetc must be aroused to an intense inte-
rest in the affairs of Europe terrible conflict is
at hand. The colossal strength of the vast Russian
empire, backed by all the force which other despo-
tisms can muster, must, or later, enter the
field with the newborn power of the people. No
one can fail TO be interested in the present state OF
he Italian question. Indeed already the sympa-
HES of portions of the American people have been
awakened for struggling Italy. A public meeting
will be, we learn held in this city in short time,
for the purpose of expressing this feeling of SYM
pathy. No doubt the movement will be followed
up extensively. Whatever policy may be enter
tanned by the administration with regard to inter-
ference in foreign affairs, there can be no doubt
to the feelings and sympathies of the American
people. Politicians and party leaders may be cold
and callous-they may have pulse for the pa
drots of other lands-but the great body of Ameri-
can citizens have their heart in the right place.
We commend the copious extracts which we
have given to the thoughtful consideration of our
readers

Now here we have hundreds and hundreds OF
dollars of the public money thrown away upon
newspapers without circulation or influence The
Courier and Enquirer is the emily paper among
them that possesses any circulation, justifying the
publication Of an advertisement in its columns. OF
course the object in selecting such papers for pub
lic advertisements is to corrupt them--a very un-
necessary and proftless business. l, is in this way
that the public money is squandered and the press
degraded.

Labor and Wait.

One OF the most, though not The most diff
fcult lesson, the new made reformer has to
learn, is to Labor. 1t is something strange
for him to 20 forth into the great field Of hu.
manity, and with implements with which he
feels scarcely acquainted, labor as the Mas
times make partial amends for his lack of
skill and experience but that very zeal is so
often impetuous and injudicious that it sadly
disqualifes him from learning the next and
greater lesson-to Wait. Hundreds, if not
thousands, who labored well for a time, who
entered upon the work with hopeful hearts,
have been disappointed and discouraged by
the apparently slow progress they were ma
king. They scattered broad cast the seed
wheat of Truth, but could not patiently wait
for its termination. Its growth was too
slow, they would fain hasten the harvest,
and have il accompany rather than follow the
time of sowing. If the warmth of the sun
assists growth, instead Of having its rays
dinused as now, they would concentrate them
10 a locus. 1t rain aids geTmlnallon' lhey
would have a deluge instead Of a shower
They had learned to Labor, but not TO WAIT
and where arc they? Those who have
not fallen back into the tolls Of an odiou'
conservatism, have %resorted TO dollhouse cul
ture to promote the growth Of principle for
cling it into what they call a rapid develop
ment of its power, but which is only prema
ture decay.
How is it with you, reader, have you learn
ed both lessons-LARoR and WAITING o
have you become weary in toiling so lon.
without immediate, visible results, and re
sorted to means, for the use of which yo,
can find a sauct ion only in your own impa
thence, in your desire to accomplish some
thing, and that right speedily!

CalhOun'S Address.

We call the document, from which copious
extracts are to be found on our first page, Cal
houn's Address, for it is as much, or more,
the address Of JOHN C.. Calhoun as of the
Southern Convention whose endorsement it
bears. 1t is refreshing TO meet with such a
production, one that so fully fills our idea of
the spirit of the Quaker query respecting
%piainness Of speech. There is nothing mealy-
mou,hed about it, nothing time-serving. The
writer tells US what he feels, and says what
he thinks without let or hindrance. True,
he is the great champion of slavery, its ever
vigilant defender. But then he girds him
self for battle like a man, and throws down
the gauntlet boldly, for those who choose to
lift it, There is nothing mean or sneakiDg

Benton and. California Gold.

Mr.. Benton made a speech a few days ago
upon The California bill against The PROPOSE
ton 10 sell mineral lands in lots OF two acres.
as no two lots Of that size would be alike
The value can only be told by digging, and
many two acres will contain no gold, and
many patches Of twenty or thirty feet square
will contain a rich dcposite. The object is
TO find it, and that is 10 be done by hunting,
for which permits are required. and protec-
ton in the discovery. The following re-
marks upon the gold washings are interest
ing.
"These washings are called in Spanish
placer. from the Latin pidcere, to please; be-
cause it is a pleasing Thing 10 find the shin
ing gold under ones feet. But it is a iran
silent pleasure. There is no fee simple in III;
there is not even a life estate in ii; not even
a lease for a year, a month, a week, or a
day. The pleasure is soon gone. Exhaus-
ted placerS now exist in New Mexico, for
merly yielding much, now some twenty-five
or fifty cents a day, and only pursued by the
poorest Mexicans. Regular mining has fol-
lowed there, and is now yielding conSidera-
bic quantities. These washings Of Califor-
MIA are maryellously rich for we have TO be-
lieve what is certified to us by so many wit
nesses but they arc not the richest that ever
were SEEN. Far from IT,. Those of Brazil,
in the mountains back Of Rio Janeiro, in the
time of Lord Anson's voyage, (say one hun.
bred years ago.) were far richer; and yet
have been exhausted so long that all memory
of them is lost and their history only lives
in old books. Two millions stetling-ien
millions Of dollars-were annually sent to
Europe, for years, from these washings.-
They were worked by slaves, who to secure
their fidelity and industry, were usually al
lowed by their masters all the proceeds Of
the day above a given amount; and in that
way slaves became rich, purchased their Free
dom and then bought slaves of their own,
lived in s~plendor and opulence, aud laid the
foundation of families. Yet these washings
are exhausted, time out Of mind and so will
be those of California, and the sooner the
better. | am a friend 10 gold currency, but

A California Incident.

Many touching incidents daily occur
among The thousands locking to the new
Ell Dorado. Not long since we heard of
a clerk in a Wall street bank, who caught
the "yellow fever" so suddenly and had
it so severely, that he was carried off by
it ere he could procure 4 change Of raj
mcnt or take a parting leave Of her who
had borne him, and who like Rachel Of
old, when she heard the sad news re(us-
ed 10 be com(orled. Another incident
occurred on the departure o. tho Pcytona,
on her long voyage. As usual u large
crowd had gathered on the pier, inclu-
ding several females, to bid u last adieu
10 relatives, friends and lovers. One girl
who had probably seen seventeen sum
mers, particularly attracted our attention
She was a beautiful blonde, clothed in a
plain though neat dress-wilh remarka.
bly, rosy cheeks-a lip the bee might
tic dimmed by The gathering moisture of
sadness. While others were hurrying
to and fro, she stood on the edge of the
pier, gazing earnestly at the vessel, now
loosing from her moorings. Her eyes
were fixed on a handsome young man
leaning over the %tatfrail, rugged out in
California dress. who was no less intent
ly watching the fair girl he was leaving.
Just as the vessel began to move in
the water, and recede from the wharf,
the tears unbiddcn started from their re.
posc-tears, in whose dumb grief there
was a powerful cloquence, filled her large
melting eyes, and stretching ont hen
hands TO him, in a most lhriIlingly plain
tive whisper, she said, "Chariey, ain
YOU sorry Ror!" The color fed from
Charley's check, his pale lip quivered a
moment, then he turned. without speak
ing, TO hide himself and his tears in Tie
cabin; and VIC turned away, thinking tina
that young man perchance wa %leavin!
behind him in hat fond and loving hear,
a treasure of more worth than all tn,
wealth of California, and thinking, loo
were we, of those lines Of
"When eyes are beaming,
What never tongue might tell!
When tears are streaming
From their crystal we'll,
When hands are linked that dread to part
And hear, is me; by throbbing heart
o. bitter, bitter Is the smart
OF them that bid farewell" N, Y, Post.

TIE GoLD DoLLAR.-The editor of the
New York Tribune" says he has seen the
gold dollar, and pronounces it a very pretty
coin. 1t was suggested that the new coin be
made with a square hole in the centre, and
gradually increase in thickness TO the circum-
ference. This plan has probably been adopt
ed in the specimens made, bat Of this we are
not certain. The "Tribune" proposes the
coinage Of a silver three-cent piece, which,
it thinks, would, with the gold dollar, drive
the cumberous silver dollar, and a large pro-
portion of coppers out of general circulation.
