0r The life OF a printer at best is hard
one lie has to toll when others sleep, and
generally receives but little pay. But not
outstanding all this, there is something con-
nected with the printing business that makes
1t pleasant. We have known men, who in
other occupations could become rich, stick to
the press when really they scarcely made
living at it, Such are the attachments to the
printing art. And again, the printer is gener-
ally whole souled fellow, who feels for the
poor man, and often TO his own injury, extends
the hand of charity.

/ Iperceiye from the report OF tue pro

that a certain Senator has given notice o
his intention TO introduce bill for The
repeal Of the chnrter Of "The WellsvilIe

Company" and Of the "Pennsylvauia and
Ohio Rail Road Company" This propo.
siiion protesses TO be by way of re,aIia~
tion for the proposition. on the part ol
the State of PennsyIvania, TO repeal the
law Of that State, for right of way for a
Raid Road through Erie county on the
Lake sho re. But lis real object is not to
punish Pehnsy ylvania but to change her
adopted rout through Ohio. to cnnfae the
trade with Pennsy ylvania 10 the NcrtherD
section ofth State. and compel the in
terror portion Of Ohio to send their
produce TO market by ront almos as
circu'tous and elongated as that upon
which certain members OF Congress charg
their milagc. Al the last session Of our
legislature The "Ahron and Pi'isburg Rail

provides for the construction of a Roll

TIE AlORMONS 1NCALIFOKNIA.
The Mormon settlements ii California
near the Great Sail Lake, are tins de
stribed by Mr.. II. r Whipple, leading
Mormon, who lately arrived at Pits-
bursh, overland from that region -
The valley in which the Mormon set.
Elements are, is about City miles long and
forty broad, and 10 surrounded on three
sides by high mountains, and the north
side by the lake. From various gorges
ia the mountains, numerous fresh water
streams pour their waters into the Jor.
dou. stfordng fne watar power. No tim.
ber grows ia the valleys but an abnnd-
ance 10 supplied by the valleys Of the
streams in the mountains. 1t consists Of
FIR, pine. bem!ock, and sugar msple.
IN this delightful valley, about 1000
miles from the Missouri on the east, and
700 from The gold diggings Of the Sacra-
meDto, on the west--,he Rocky Mouu
+ tains being barrier on one side, and he

Nevada range on the other--'he Mormons

are now collected in this valley. They
commenced arriving in the valley in July
1S47, and last season they raised Gne
crop Of wheat, corn, and other. produc-
tions sufficient for their own consump'
f,I -; r tn h,,,
ly coming iu. After next harvest they
will have provisions enough to dispose OF.
They have two grist.mills and four saw
mills in operation, and have laid out sew
eral vliihges, and a town on an elevated
plat whicboserlooks tie whole valley aud
lake. They are building substantial
houses and surrounding themselves with
many comforts. They expect large EN-
igraiion this seasons from their breihern
in the neighbothood Of Councils Bluffs
where there are some thousands cougre,

The Mormons have established ferries
over the only rivers which are not forda-
BILE ON account Of high waters--ihe Platte
and Green riycrs--so that no hindrance
TO emigrants, from that cause. need now
be feared. No gold has yet been found
in the ne eighborhocd of Sail Lake, or any
where east of the Sierra Nevada; as far as
Mr.. Whipple is informed. WHAT has
reached that region, was brought there
by The discharged Mormon soldiers. who
had returned from the place to visit their :
families. !
With reference to the story, that the
Mormons had claimed presumption
right TO the diggings, and were demand
ing per centage on the gold fonnd, Mr.
Whipple gives the following account; r
The FIRST discovery of gold was made by $
Mormops. discharged soidiers,1 in dig C
ding a mill race for Mr.. Sut,er. As the Q
discovery was on his ground he gave y
them the liberty Of digging gold, on con q
dition Of paying him certain per Gems '
tage. This they agreed to Dc, but soon e
started of 10 explore for themselves, and p
having found some rich spot. they de-
marded a per centsge from new comers

claimed right Of ofdiscovery. This prac- u
ice is general in the mines. and tho Nor
