The first discovery ef Gold in California
was made BY DON JOSE D'ALvEAR, an
eminent Spanish EGeologisi, Chemist and
Natural Philosopher, by means q a newly
invented Magnetic instrument, called
THE COLDOMETOR OR GOLD
SEEKERS GUIDE! ssifs
Sgnor D'Alvear has just arrived at New
York, from the goldregions Of California, by
way Of Panama, Chagres and New Oileans,
bringing with him very large quantity Of
Gold ore, valued al nearly one million oi
dollars, which he collected there, long sbe-
fore the existence of the Gold mines became
known 10 the residents Of California generaly.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY.
Signor D'Alvcsr went out 10 California
nearly two years ago, in consequence Of
certain information which he had received
Of the geological character Of that country,
with the firm belief that vast mines of pre-
cious metals would be revealed there, upon
careful investigation. He was encouraged
| TO this enterprise, also, ,by his confidence in
the powers Of a certain Magnetic instrument
which he had invented, called the'sG Goldom-
etor," by whose aid he expected 10 be direc-
ted at once 10 the "Gold Placers," if any
such existed. Nor were his expectations
disappointed. His scientific calculation pro.
we'd founded in truth and profound wisdom
and bis new instrument, the "Goldometor,'
fulfilled his highest hopes: In less than two
months after reaching California, he. struck
upon one Of the richest gold mines in that
country, upon an obscure branch Of the Sac.
remenio river, in gorge Of hills extremely
rocky and difficult OF access, aud seldom
visited by the native Californians. Disguis-
ing his object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid OF
some fifteen OF twenty simple and faithful
Indians, and steadily pursued his task,collcct
ing often more than $500 orlh ofgold in
a single day, which he concealed in a deep
rayine, withou, exciting any suspicion what.
ever, uf.tl after the discovery Of gold at
CapLSuter's Mill, whcnihe mountains we're
rai.sacked by gold seekers, and Sgnor D.
Arrears "gold placer" the richest in all
California, was beset with greedy adventu-
rers. II is now found that the real mines or
sources Of the gold, lie in tile gorges of the
mountains, and not in the beds or sands of
the rivers. Previous to leaving California,
Signor D'AlYear sold bis instrument, a very
imperfect one, for three thousand dollars,
The person who purchased il confidently .ex-
pects 10 make a handsome fortune, by sim
ply finding ''gold placers' aud selling out
the right Of digging 10 The gold workers. =.

We find the following, says the Ohio
Statesman, in an exchange, credited TO ga
Whig." No man thatey lived has been
more misrepreseated in his public and pri-
vate life, than the old hero ~ho now sleeps
beneath the green turf on his own loved
Hermitage Those who opposed him in
politics, now begin to give him credit for
that purity of purpose and far-seeing sagac-
ity, which marked him emphatically the
man of the age. His political acts are now
admitted to have redounded to the interest
and the honor of tle ccuntry. and amidst
tae hast of Tnrmer Ievilers. but lew
found sufficiently reckless to say otherwise.
In the domestic circle-when surrounded
with friends, and amid the freedom OF ur-
restrained intercourse, the kindness and the
goodness of the heart, which inhabited his
breast. marked him as one in ten thousand,
and it was this, and for his mauly adherence
at all times to what he deemed the right
his stern and unyie!ding democracy, that
rallied around Gen. Jackson, that host of
warm hearted and enthusiastic eriekds, who
still cling to his memory as does the child
to that Of fond parent, or man to that OF
his dearest, trusted friend.
The following comes nearer doing justice
to the man than any thing we have yet seen
from such source, and we give it a place
in our columns, with as much Of pleasure as
any thing we bave lately published. 1t
bears upon its face the impress Ct truth:

neighborhood Of the Hermitage, the old
man looked upon the floor in q thoughtful
mood and murmuped--
''I remember her, rs If yesterday had

TIE Students Trick.

4 young mar of eighleensor twenty, o
e,s.gk zone
day with professor, who was called tie
students fiiend, such was bis kindness to
the young men whom it was his office to
instruct in the various branches or learn
ing.
While they were walking together, End
the professor was seeking to lead the con-
versaton to grave subject, they saw a
pair of old shoes lying in The path, which
they supposed to belong to poor man
who was nj work close by, and had near
ly finished his days work.
i he young student turned TO the profess
or, saying:
Let us Ilav the man a trick, we will
hide his shoes, aud conceal ourselves be-
hind those bushes, and watch to see his
perplexi'y when he cannot find them
My dear friend said the professor,
I'VE must never amuse ourselves at the ex-
pense OF the poor. But you are rich, and
you may give yourself much gren,er
pleasure. Put dollar into each shoe, and
then we will HIDE ourselves
The student did SO, and then placed hi m
self with the professor behind the bushes
close by, through which they could watch
the lnborer, and see whatever wonder or
Joy he might express.
The poor man finished his work, and
came across the field to The path, where
he had left his coat and shoes. While he
put on the coat he slipped foot into one
Of his shoes; Blu. feeling something hard
he stopped down and found the dollar
Astonishment and wonder were seen upon
his countenance, he gazed upon the dollar,
turned round, and Ionked again and again;
then looEe1 round him on all sides, but
could see no ono. Now he put the money
in his pocket and proceeded to put on the
other shoe; but how great was his astonisll-
ment when he found the o,hes doi!art-
His feelings ovorcame him, he fell upon
bis knees, looked up to heaven and ute, ed
aloud a tervent thanksgiving, in whieh he
spoke of his wife sick and helpless, and
his children without bread, whom this
timely bounty, from some unknown hand,
would save from porishing.
The young man stood there deeply ac
lected, and tears filled his eyes.
'Now,' said the professor, ARE YOU not
much better pleased than if you had play.
ed your intended trick?'
so, dearest SIR answered the youth
'you have taught me lesson now tha,
will never forget, feel now the truth of
the words which never before understood,
1T is better to give than to receive.'
