GIVE have not taken up our pen to
write an article against the Gold Fever, or
to denouncc the mania which now pervades
all classes of the people Of this country, to
90 to California. Had we the inclination TO
do this which, by the way, we have not, the
act would be a useless waste of tine, for how
ever extensively the article might be read, and
however cogent and unanswerable its ar u
ments might be, it would have no influence
upon any one whose hopes and thoughts are
centered in this far-olf and now shining land.
When men are so much excited upon a sub
jet, as they are upon this, where the founda-
ton of all the feeling is Gold, the great lever
that moves men and nations and accomplish.
es what no other influences possibly can, it is
moral impossibilty to appeal to the calmer
reasoning faculties Of our nature, or 10 at
tempt TO persuade men from course which
their strongly Illuminated imaginations con-
vince them leads to an ample fortune. We
simply speak of this matter now as one OF the
grea, absorbing topics Of the day, which has
reached so many tearts, and so seriously af-
fected the everyday machinery of society, we
might almost say, the world over
! AT times, it would seem as if an unseen
power permitted some new cause to produce
its almost miraculous effect upon the people of
the earth, or upon some particular section Of
the land. 1t springs up and operates as if by
magic and the passions of men, their control
ing desires, appear to have full sway, for a
time. Whether or not this is a testing oe-
ment in the economy OF God, TO see if men
will degenerate from the path of rectitude and
virtue, in consequence Of sudden prosperity,
we will not pretend to say but certain it is,
this is the practical operation of it, as far as
our finite minds can perceive, and our weak
judgments can comprehend the mysterious
working Of the Power that governs us.
At different ages Of the world, men have
been made mad as it were, by the desire TO
enrich themselves suddenly, when il has been
discovered that some particular portion OF the
earth contained a supply of Gold ore. But
there has probably been no such.nstance where
the effect has been so general and marked
since the discovery Of Peru, and the mania
that seized the Spaniards, as that which now
elcctr6es the people of the American Cont
nent, in consequence Of the intelligence which
has been brought from California, during tho,
last few months.

UTAmong the recent promotions in the
Revenue Service, by the late administration,
we notice the name of VIM G.. Peasc, to be
First Lieut.. from Cd March, 1919.
Lieut. Pcase has been for some time, though
not at present, on this station attached to the
Cutter Jackson, commanded by Capt. Wal
den.
He is perfectly an .GaH in rcp,rd to every
thing appertaining to his duty "a n Office,
and nothing could be more consona. 1sl.A Tho
feelings of his friends than his promotion.
His talents are fully appreciated by his late
commander, and he will prove valuable aux
ilary on any station. AS much as we rejoice
at the honors that are crowding upon him, we
shall almost regret his elevation to hi.her
rank, if we are thereby TO lose his services
in this quarter; he will convey with him,
however, wherever he may be ordered, for his
increased happiness, our heartfelt wishes.
We also find promoted J. J. Nimmo to
Captain; J. G.. Breshwood to First L.; w.

During the last year, the thrones Of the old
world, firmly built upon their tme-cemented
foundations, have been rocked to their very
base. and some OF them have been demolished,
while their occupants and the royal retinue
have been compelled to seek refuge in dis
guise. All this created vast sensation IN
the public mind, and amazed even the wisest
statesmen But the shock which public SEN
timent received by these momentous occur
rences, was light in comparison that which it
has sustained by the discovery of gold in Cali
fornla. At first, the reports which were re-
ceved were of so startling asnature that ;hey
could hardly be credited but as soon as Of
fetal dispatches arrived from Col. Mason,
there could be no questioning the natter and
every one put more or less confidence in the
matter, as to the extent, quantity and quality
of the Gold This was what gave the great
impetus to our people. MI classes and con-
ditions began to make arrangements to 60 to
the far west men Of standing and character
left lucrative and pleasant situations, mcr-
chants closed their counting rooms, lawyers
abandoned their briefs; physicians passed ov-
er their patients to their brethren Of the pro-
fession editors left their desks mechanics
ceased their labor, and all made one grand
rush for that spot, so full OF hope and promise,
Where the Sacramento's stream
Flows ovcf golden sands.
We hope that none ofthe thousands will be
seriously disappointed, but must confess we
have our fears.
Admitting that all should do well, and that
large proportion of those who have gone out
will return rich,- think that the conse-
quences would be more deplorable than bcne-
fetal Such has been the result in all past
ages, and we see no reason for an exception
TO the general rule in the present instance
Sudden prosperity ard great and easily ac-
eumulated wealth always have a demoraliz-
ing effect men who have been poor and bare
ly earned their daily bread, when suddenly
enriched. become negligent of the great moral
principle which previously guided them in life,
and sustained them even in their poverty.
Then again, all classes, kinds and condit'
ions of men will be heterogeneously thrown
together in California, and the characters OF
all will become so amalgama,ed, that man
will hardly know himself There are no
laws to restrain them, and no hoIne-innucnces
to control those evil tendencies of our nature
which are constantly besetting the heart which
thousand associations ward of here, but
which wi triumph there laIge propor-
tion of those who have gone to California are
young men, whose characters are just being
formed and whose principles are being moui-
dcd for all time, and are henceiorh to govern
their actions these influences, VIC fear, will
have most injurious effect upon such, and
their wealth will only be their greater misior-
tune.

1 Nh. EDlToR -
| My attention has been called to two articles
in your paper one over the signature "Paul,' y
and the other over that of Z" :" both of which
strongly criticise an article of mine published
in the same paper, short time ago, in rela
ton TO certain portion of Mr.. Summers lec
ture on the Law of Human Progress
| In writing that article, had no intention
to involve myself in a newspaper controversy
but my sole desire was to raise my feeble voice
! in the endeavor to illustrate a powerful effort
to set aside the true and well acknowledged
rule Of conservatism, as a vital quality in the
law of human progress, particularly in the
the lecturer on no other point though hs is
equally vulnerable on many Of the theories he
advanced-but, unfortunately, for him, did not
prove them.
Paul's" sole argument is this that the
lecturer required for true progress, both the
conservative and reformative elements, and
that he illustrated his views by the planetary
system. j admit that he made this allusion
ami he Is charged with no error in the state
mcnt of the Cact. But do charge him with
error in its application; charge him with i'm
properly apportioning the centripeta and cen.
irfugal forces, and that his theories would not
thereby produce moral equilibrium. lie
wants for toe much of the centrifugal force in
all his political and religious arrangements,
and philosophically speaking, his planets, in.
in re-entering curve, would become so ecccn-
trio as to describe parabolas and thus become
comets. And indeed, were the people to sub
NIT TO his school of philosophy, our present
well-oiganised systems Of government, both
civil and religious, would fall into chaos. -
This was the meaning and substance of my
argument, not one word of which can be dis.
proved, and not one word of which can | re-.
tract. Thus much for Paul"
From L" find myself lying under much
censure. lie will, however, permit me TO
say that When an orator, famous Tor his tai
en,s and address, for his power Of convincing
sees fit to deliver such subverting and disor-
sanising doctrines before Newport audience,
am one Of iis citizens who not only claims
right but acknowledges il his duty, 10 raise his
feeble voice against them. Simply because
the gifted gentleman =" has devoted portion
