N. LArHRoP, See'y.

A nondescript animal has recently been
discovered in New South Wales. The
natives call it a bunyip. Ii appears to
be very rare upon the coast near the
British settlements, and no individual of
the kind has yet been captured. The
following account is from the Maitland
IN. S. W. Mercury: b.
A stockman in the employ Of Mr..
Baxter was fishing in the river Eumer-
ALA, when he was suddenly startled by
what he imagined to be huge black
fellow, swimming in the river, but which
| think must be the bunyip. went with
the stockman the next day. and was for
tunae enough to get good view of him.
He was brownish color. with head
something The shape of kangaroo, an
enormous mouth, apparently furnished
with formidable set Of teeth, Ion! neck
covered with shaggy name, which
reached half way down his back. His
hind quarters were under water, so that
we could not get full view of him; but
if one may judge from what was seen,
his weight must be fully equal to that Of
very large bullock. On trying to get.a
closer examination, he took alarm, and
Immediately disappeared; aud although a
strict watch has since been kept, he has
never again been seen; but il is hoped
that The exerlions of Mr.. Baxter to catch
him will % crowned with success.

The Alex. Scott recently arrived III
ST. Louis from New Orleans, with a
large number Of German emigrants. The
cholera appeared among them, and by
the time that she reached Memphis eight
or ten of them fell victims TO the disease.
Ills fact was suppressed by the officers
of the boat, at ST. Louis, and although a
gentleman who came passenger on the
boat was taken down with the disease
and died the next day after his arrival, it
was denied that it was the cholera, but
simply ga diarrhGa contracted on the
Alex. Scott" The St. Louis lntelli-
gencer has but little doubt that this diar-
rhea was the cholera, but somehow
changed its name, after the boat had ar.
rived at Memphis, and TO proven. the
boa, from being detained at the quaran-
tine ground.

The Plank Road.

The Books of subscription to the
Plank Road. were opened at this place,
Agency City and Ashland on last Satur-
day; and up to this time. say five days,
there has been $500, subscribed at
this place; $4,000. at Agency City; and
$4,000, at Ashland; making altogether
$4,000. This is going far ahead OF
the most sanguine expectations of the
friends of the enterprise; and gives con-
elusive proof that the road will be built.
The whole community are awaking to
the importance and benefits of the pro-
ject, and we are glad to announce to its
friends, that those who at first hung
back and looked upon il as humbug, are
daily joining its friends and giving not
only their influence, but are taking stock.
Let our farmers who are SO deeply in
terested in securing good markets for all
they have TO sell. take hold of this mat
ter in earnest, and we shall soon see not
only this rond completed; but others
scarcely less important, leading through
all paris Of the country.

There is no prudent and patriotic man
in either House or Congress, who is not
aimed and shocked by expressions
which he is daily called upon to hear,
proceeding from ul,raists of the two ex-
trelnes of the country. Disappointed
men, men of one idea, ili-tempered men.
fanatics, misehievious men, are to be
found in all the walks of life. Ii would
be strange if some such men should no,
find their way into Congress. When
there, it would be strange if they did
not make their natures manifest. They
must seek some suitable expression OF
the devil that is within them, and make
themselves as troublesome and vexatious
in their public conduct as they are in
their private relations. Men Of this
description may do great deal of mis-
chief, as their sphere OF action is en-
larged. Instead of being merely the
pest Of families, they may become the
pest of nation. If they are permitted
10 have their own way, they miH become
The curse of the country.
But when bad men conspre, good men
must co-opperate. The number of fac
tionis.s and sgita,ors is comparatively
small. They can do nothing. il their
schemes are met, as they ought to be,
with manly frmness and independence.
When they put forward an extreme meas
ure for the purpose of agitation, and
when every moderate and wise man
knows that such is the only purpose
when it is put forward 10 force prema-
ture and unnecessary action-to embar-
rass, to wound, to irritate, to infame, to
exasperaie-il is The right and the duty
of all patriotic and order-lovlng men 10
crush it in the shell, and their onstitu
cnts will uphold and sustain them in
such acliou, whatever may be- their gen
eral prepossessions in regard to the al
lodged ultimate object. All attempts at

The Cincinnati Chronicle states that
there are in that city six Rolling Mills,
employing 765 hands, and operating with
an aggregate ca pital of 100000. The
annual product of the iron manufactured
at these mills is $l,2SO,O0O, and the
quantity of material consumed is 81. 400
tons. The number of foundries, engine
and machine shops, &c., is stated to be
twenty-six, and the amount of capital
invested in them, 81 ,44s, 900. In these,
1905 hands are annually employed to
work up 1905 tons of iron, which.
when manufactured, produces S2,439,-
600. There are also sixteen stove man.
ufactures. These employ 93s hands.
annually convert 1925 tons of iron in
to stoves, with their appurtenances. The
aggregate amount Of capital invested in
these establishments is S6I7 900, and
and the annual product of their manu-
features, $4,000. Including the ware,
and incidental expenses. the products Of
stoves and stove manufactures may sale
ly be estimated, the Chronicle says, at a
million of dollars annually. The growth
of the iron works has been more rapid
than even the increase Of the population.

White. of Sacrameto. as Speaker of the
Assembly, and E. X. Chamberlain. of

Secretary of State; J. S. Houston Comp
trolier; Maj. r. Roman Treasurer; F. j.
G. Kelvin Attorney General; J. Whitney
Surveyor General; S. c. Hastings Judge
Of the Supreme Court.
The whole number of votes thrown
for Governor and Representatives for
Congress were only 3,50O-aiihough the
State can probably poll 1000.
The Message OF Gov. Burnett seems
TO doubt as to whether the Legislature
should proceed at once to provide i'm
portant laws for the government of tile
State, or await the action of Congress
upon the Constitution.
The Governor estimated the expendi-
lures of the State for the first year, a,
100000. To meet this large sum, the
message recommends the immediate i'm
position of the pol! tax, and tax upon
real and personal property in proportion
to its value. The Governor also, while
he says nothing about the Chinese, Kina-
kees--debased Chilians--Botany Bay
thieves, and others, outsiders coming in
to the State, recommends the exclusion
in toto of free negroes. He thinks if al
lowed to emigrate, they will form con-
tracts in the southern States for one or
more wears with masters, and others, and
DE to all ihtents and purposes, slaves.
We think these objections may be ca
silly got over. by the States declaring all
such contracts null and void. We do
not perceive that the message treats OF
any other matters of note.
Prospects for Gold Hunting for the
next season were considered very fatter-
ing. 1t was thought much larger "a
mount would be taken out than there
was the past year. Gold Digging had
mostly been suspended for the season,
and great many persons were flocking
into the towns.
REDUCTION OF Wages OF
common laborers are much lower, only
from 50 to$6 per day being paid.

..The suirit OF the Age,

The able lecturer. r.. W. Emerson, is
engaged in delivering course of lect
before the Mercantile Library Associa-
ton of New York. He draws. nightly,
crowded and brilliant audiences. The
subject which stands as the caption of this
paragraph was discussed by the lecturer
on Tuesday night. In describing three
periods of deep and general significance
in the history Of the world-the Grecian,
the Christian, and the Modern--he said
of the latter:
The present Age is the age of TOOLS
Every truth is converted into one Of the
mechanical powers. The citizen is now
made comfortable by the perfection of
practical science. He is cushioned,
steamed, coached, cabbed. ielegraphed.
till no want is left unsatisfed. Whoev-
er wears shoe is as well off as if the
whole earth was covered with leather
The clocks are regulated by the chronom-
eters Of the railroad, and the great sea
waits for the invasion of the telegraph.
Our streets and houses are lighted by
new methods. and the terrors of surgery
abated by the invention of Chlorofurm
and Ether. Gravitation is made to pull
TO some purpose, and the sea, no longer
allowed to weller in law magnifcence,
is used for the objects of industry and
made to pay for its salt.
We might expect immortality from this
universal domination of mechanism
But every thing comes at the right time.
We have no more power than we can be
trusted with. The locomotive came just
when it was wanted, as new band to
the Union, and an agent aud pioneer OF
civilization. A communication was
wanted between the two oceans which
bound our Continent. Soon specks of
gold were found on the surface by the
Indians of California. The news spread
The right men rushed in at a proper
time. Such a promising, trre- bred, well
appointed colony was never known
every colonist trained in the principles
and details of politics in this country,
being walking American Constitution
among the placers Of Sacramento.
