Extraordinary DiscOyery in california;.

The following is an extract from aletter written
to his wife by a New Yorker now working in the
mines of California. The letter bears date Aug.
26th, 1S49;
"There was gold mine discovered here (which
is called Murphy's Diggings) one week today; it is
evidently the work of ancient times-2I0 feet
deep, situated on the summit of very high noun
tain. 1t has made a great excitement here, as it
several days before preparations could be made
to descend to the bottom There was found in it
the bones of "a human being, also an altar for
worship, and some other evidence of human labor.
From present indication it is doubtful whether it
will require great outlay for tools and machinery
to work it,
This discovery, ifproperly pursued by compe
tent observes, may prove of the highest historical
importance 1t will establish the fact that the
mineral wealth of that region has been known to
preceding generations, and the relies which have
survived, may enlighten us as to the nationality
of the people who first pierced this mountain two
hundred and ten feet, and will doubtless suggest
inquiryinto tie reason for abandoning thepursuit
of gold in country in which it seems to abound,
and where its discoverers had found encourage
ment to make such extensive excavation in former
times. N. Y. Eve. Post

Ireland at One View.

| ireland is three hundred and six miles long and
two hundred broad. Contains thirty-two thous-
and, FIVE hundred and ten square miles; or twenty
millions, eight hundred and eight thousand, two
hundred and seventy-one acres; of which thirteen
millions, eight hundred and eighty-one thousand,
seven hundred and eleven are cultivated; six
millions, two hundred and ninety five thousand,
en- hundred and thlty-fve acres waste; and six
hundred and thirty thousand, eight hundred and
twenty-five acres are under water OFF the coast
are one hundred and ninety-sx islands
Placed between Europe and America, Ireland
is most favorably situated for trade fishing, and
commerce; is blessed with most fertile soil, and
temperate climate; has the fnest6sheries; possess
es the largest deepest and safest harbors and the
greatest number of navigable rivers and lakes, of
any country of the same size in the world Ac-
cording to geoogists, ireland has the largest coal
fields in the British Empire; one extends throout
Clare, Kerry, Limerick and Cork; and another,
which is sixteen miles long, and sixteen miles broad
lies in Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim and Cavan 9TH
er coal fields and mines of less extent are inter-
spersed thro' the island. The richest iron mines
situated in Arigna, in the county of Leitrim
The finest copper mines are worked in Wicklow,
Waterford and Kerry. Many mines of iron, cop
per- lead, silver, and some veins of gold present
themselves Ireland contains inexhaustible sup
plies of peat fuel Marbles of every shade and

and states of the best quality are quaied in Ker-
ry and Limerick.
The population of ireland, in 1s41, amounted
to s,175,124. ireland contains, besides several
large cities, about 40 towns, with population
ceeding 1000 inhabitants, with large number of
smaller towns. The immigration from Ireland to
America is immense; in 20 years, (from 1925 to
1844) above 1,256OOO Irish emigrated, mostly for
the United States. The exports of Ireland. in s.
81, amounted to s5.oOOooO; and are now estima-
ted at 100000, 900; which excepting s2o,ooO,-
900 worth of linen, some copper and lead ores)
chiefly consists of provisions Ireland consumes an
nually above s6o.ooo,Ooo worth of British manu-
factures. a ~. .a-
Thus while ireland is exporting men by thous-
ands, and food by millions, one third of her own
soil is lying waste; her mines eollieries and quar-
ries, are unworked; her immense water power is
flowing idly; her ports are empty all articles of
manufacture are imported; the trade of the world
is daily passing her shores; 100000 of her peo-
Pile are existing on potatoes, and, 100000 are
declared paupers. What anomaly!

At this proof of affection on the part of her hus-

She was no better pleased with being called my

The LahOrer and Employer.

How often said not long since popular Amer
lean orator, do in this country that the em-
ployer of to-day is the laborer of tomorrow, and
the laborer the employer; and when such is the
evidence of our senses and the result of insttu
tons how dare any man rise up and address him
self to the passions of different classes of the
munity, and declare that there is distinction be-
tween theml I would take the sons of a poor man
in preference to the of the rich, to prove the
truth of this. The son of the poor man much soon
er reaches the golden goal of honor than those who
have money gingling in their pockets. 1t is the
poor man in nine cases out of ten who reaches the
point of eminence. They have been Industrious
they have exerted themselves, and they have pros
pered. 1t is true that bad man sometimes gets
wealth, but not often, and when he does, it is of
tener by foul means than fair. How was it with
William Gray, Stephen Girard and John Jacob As
tor? They were the architects of their own su-
perior enterprise

The Usage Indians,

Now on visit to the seat of government first
made their appearance at the Executive mansion
with nothing upon their painted bodies but leather
leggins and ancient looking blankets. Since that
time the President has directed the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs to supply them with any articles
of clothing they may desire, whereupon, the gen
tlemen of the wilderness yesterday made their aP-
pearanc upon the avenue clothed in broadcloth, af-
ter the manner of the civilized 1t will be readily
imagined therefore, that the popularity of their ap
greatly increased and that the lovers of

however, the Indians doffed their civilized garb and
decked themselves in their native costumes

author of the Railroad system.

The following sketch of Thomas Gray, the auth
or of the Railway System, we take from the Pains
vile Telegraph:
Thomas Gray was born in Leeds, England about
half century, more, ago-and this is all we
know of his early history. The Middleton Col
liery had a railway for carrying Goals to Leeds a
distance of three miles. The cars moved along at
the rate of three and half miles per hour. 1t
was laughed at-not by Gray-but by the wise
public. Gray saw in this little work something
that might be augmented into greatness and he
thought upon the subject and forthwith became
visionary He talked and wrote upon his project
of "a General Iron Railway" until the people de-
clared him insane. He petitioned Parliment sought
an interview with the lords and other great men;
and thus became the laughing stock of all England.
He received nothing but rebuffs wherever he
went. All this took place in 1920, or thereabouts
But he succeeded at last The railways were
laid. The world has been benefited by the madness
of Thomas Gray. 81. r - .....--,
Well, what became of him ? the reader will ask.
We do not know; but believe he still lives in Exc
ter, to which place he removed. Up to1s46 he
had been neglected. While thousands have been en-
riched by the consummation of his brilliant sheme,
he remained forgotten-forced by proverty to sell
glass on commission for living. Hewitt in the
Peoples Journal, few years ago, gave somewhat
lengthy sketch of his career thus bringing him in
to public notice. We have seen nothing in print
in relation to him lately. Elliot wrote great
truth in these words:
Chow many men who lived to bless mankind
Have died unthanked."

there aint no fether bed thar, except the bed of

The D. S. Government abroad.

The annexed extracts from letter Of an Amer
ican gentleman in Sardinia to his correspondent in
Washington furnish strong additional evidence of
the respect inspired abroad by the promptitude
and fidelity with which our Government has on re-
cent occasions fulfilled its international obhgatons
alt may not be uninteresting to you to beain-
formed that all the statesmen here with when1 /
have had occasion to converse on the subject, have
expressed their decided appreciation of the ground
assumed by the President in regard to the Prussi-
an steamer United States as well as in the case of
the projected invasion of Cuba. Nothing is better
calculated to raise the character of the American
Government in Europe than a strict observance of
all the principles of international morality. sza

were Yankees in Rome, also. In fact, where are
