bis writings against religion; and the respect
paid TO his memory by his friends is more
the result Of attachment to his religious
views than q grateful recollection of his en-

it has often been said, did more for the
cause of liberty with his pen than was

When we knew Thomas Paine, it was
late in life-at that period when suffering
under the neglect Of the world and that for
getfulness which is frequently the compan-
ion Of patriotism, he was careless and in
different in relation to his habits. 1t was
not, however, always so with him. Paine,
IN dress, manners, and conversation was al
ways an unobtrusive, intelligent gentleman,
accustomed to good society. Horne Tooke
once said, when Paine had left a company
ia which he had been dining, that, in what
ever society he should happen to he, the
best remark in the company would proceed
from Mr.. Paine. When member of the
French Convention, he divided his pay,
which was ten livres day, with General
O'Hara, who at that time was without re-
mittances. He was very hard drinker
only in his latter days.
The world has not done him justice, or,
rather, great injustice has been done tn him.
His cage Of Reason'' was not for the age
in which it was written. He was an inidel
because he did not believe in all things, but
he believed in the existence and in the mer-
cy and justice of God; and such men, while
they may not escape the censure Of this
world, may also not be forgotten in the
world to GOMEZ Noah's N. Y. Sunday

STEAM HAULAGE ON RIVERS AND ca
NALs.--An experiment has lately been
tried, with complete success, on the
Gloucester and Berkely Canal, Of
somewhat novel steam tug for hauling
vessels instead of horse power. 1t con-
sists of a continuous flexible rail or bar
of iron running the whole length of the
canal, and made fast at each terminus.
Above the deck of the tug are fixed
pair Of rollers, between which this fexi-
bic iron band is placed, and as they are
made to revolve by the steam engine on
board, the grip which they take propels
the boat. On the trial in question, az
ter hauling various small craft of from
~ to 80 tons burden, she took in tow
Greek brig, laden with corn to the a.
mount of $50 tons, which she towed
against head wind to the dock entrance.
at good walking pace She hauled the
common canal boats at a rate Of miles
an hour, the speed being but little affect
ed when going against the tide. Tho
cost of hauling in the. Severn is heavy
item in the transit of goods, and this in
vention is calculatedto diminish the ex-
pense SO per cent, the consumption of
coal being only 25 lbs. per hour.-rC.

The rejoicing-with which the last golden
news from California would have been re-
ceived, is allloyed by painful intelligence Of
anarchy and bIoodshed. A collision has Ia
ken place at Sacramento between the s'land-
hoIders," SO called, who claim the land in
virtue Of titles, the legality of which is yet
matter of dispute, and the "squatters'' who
have settled on the soil. The land is held
claims under Spanish grant. The settlers,
repudiating this grant, have moved on the
ground and erected buildings. Legal pro-
cess for forcible entry and detainer were
commenced, aud decided in the plaintiffs
favor. A writ of restitution was issued
The officer attempting to execute it was
met and resisted by armed squatters. Ulti-
mately six or eight persons were arrested,
and two squatters incarcerated in default of
hail. Their companions went armed to
liberatc them from the prison ship in which
they were confined; collision ensued, in
leaders Of the sQuatters, and several others
were killed, and more wounded. At the
last ni0ment of the Carolina leaving San
Francisco, II rumor wascurrent that Sacra-
mento had been reduced 10 ashes, and that
walls from the mines. Lieut.. Gov. McDou-
gal had reached Sacramento with what mil
itary force was at his command, and de-
clared the place under municipal laws.-
The militia and fire companies of San Fran
cisco had been called out by the mayor, TO
proceed 10 the riotous city for the purpose
of restoring order, aud there is much reason
TO fear that when the steamer left, the work
of bloodshed was still going on. ..f
How far the report Of the destruction of
the city may he confirmed remains to be
seen. The squatters are a body Of we'll
armed and desperate men, chiefly from the
west, and not very likely to submit tamely
to what they deem an infringement Of their
rights. The affair is sad blot on the hith-
erto peaceful history of California, and a
severe rebuke of the tardy Legislation that,
by delaying the admission of the new state,
has prevented the legal settlement Of the
claims. ln case Of doubtful title
"possession is nine ten,hs of the law" and
hence the desire of both parties to acquire
or retain the actual occupation Of the ques-
tionable soil before their conflicting claims
are decided by special commission. If this
is not speedily appointed, we
may expect to bear of continual attempts
to settle this question Of right hy the strong
arm.
The Philadelphia brings over a million in
gold dust, and the general news is most
cheering. The waters have subsided,
and digging is going forward with great
activity and every prospect of abundant
success. The quarrels between American
and foreign miners have ceased-the latter
having left the mines in great numbers, 10
Of the murders committed. A
serious failure tor above million has oc-
cured in Sacramento City. The assets of
he house are said to be more than equal to
Is liabilities; but in the greater excitement
,f the riot, this event attracted comparative
y little attention.-[ Noah's Sunday Times.
