the rivers.
The health of the miners is excellent they all say
that the Southern gold region is the most healthy place
in the world To sum up, the country is most beauti-

%. The &" Grand Fancy BALI is over.
The Goddesses and Gypsies, the Ham

lors. the Rebeccas and ROmeos, Of last
night, have again become common men
and women; some with appe,ites for their
breakfast, and many with swollen eyes
and head aches of various degrees of in
,ensilv. The fairy scene which the
grounds oflhe United States Hotel pre-
Scented last night, has changed to one OF
the usual daylight reality, and bright
sun and uncouded sky smile upon the
scene, which few hours ago was all IL
Illuminated by thousands of variegaied
lamps. Taylor the costumer (by the way,
he is the only costumer now, having
BOUGHT out the stock of his former rival
Deiouge,) and the peruquiers Dibbles &
Riiker, are collecting their wares, gener-
ally htlle the worse for wear, and the
clerks at the hotels are as busy as they
can be in making out bills for their var-
Gus fashionable guests, who depart as
quickly as possible after the ball. Very
many. however, will continue here few

6 Behold how Brightly Breaks
The MOrE!;3

Or readers have already been aPprized
Of the passage Of the Fugitive Slave Bill
by the Senate, thus disposing Of the last
of the measures for the adjustment of the
dangerous question which has for so long
Il time kept the country ii i state of anx-
ious suspense. TO those who have con-
trhuted TO this suspicious AMI happy re-
suit, the country owes debt Of gratitude,
which no political advancement can dis.
charge. The recollection Of their patriot,
ic devotion to the Union, will be cherished
in the National heart. There is already
erected monument more durable than the
chiseled marble, and which will stand So
long as the love Of freedom animates the
human soul TO be sure, there are those
who would drag them from the high posi-
ton they have won in the affections Of
their country. Even Washington, with
all his disinterestel pairiolisn,, his virtues,
could not escape the. calumnies Of he ira
Queer. How then can they avoid misrtp-
RESERVATION? One Of the plainest leach
ings of our nature tells us that there are
those who are ever ready TO bring down
10 their own level those who have reached
position which they themselves cannot
aspire to. Thus is it in the case before
US. But such attempts will avail naught.
Public opinion, with the distinctness OF
the thunder tones, has already been heard
in favor of the perpetuity Of the Union.
She has doomed 10 the fate of the Cap
ulels, those who have aimed TO destroy
the integrity Of the Union. But those
who, in sunshine and in darkness, through
good and through evil report have barred
their breasts to the conflict, will live, and
forever live, green and fresh in the rccoI-
lection of an admiring country. Despite
the opposition Of foes, each one will stand
Like some tall cliff that lifts lis awful form
Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the
storm, [sPread,
Tho round its breast the gathering clouds may
Eternal sunshine will settle Oh its head"
The House of Representatives have a
weighty responsibility resting upon them.
The direct representatives. OF the popular
will, let them heed that will, and obey It's
behests. Let them legislale with an eye
TO their counlry's welfare, with a spirit Of
selfsacrfcing patriotism, and all will yet
be well, and each one Of this class on his
return to the bosom Of his constituency,
will be met with the joyous greeting {:
" We'll done, thou coed and faithful SER
want" If they thus act, we may reason
ably indulge the hope, that the gathering
clouds will soon be dispelled, and, as the
darkest hour Immediately Precedes the
day dawn, that our political noctea tri&fes
will have been but the precursor of the
brightest days in the coun'ry's history.

Then, however, things seemed suddthiy

complained of, had found its way into the
Ball room, and cast shade, OF sombre,
and cold formaity over the otherwise beau

As said above, there were more gen.

than ever observed at similar ball be-

Music ON the Pacific.

No one can be in Monterey single
night without being startled and awcd by
the deep solemn crashes Of the surf as il
breaks along the shore. There is no con-
rinuous roar of the plunging waves, az we
hear on the Atlantic seaboard; the slow
regular swell, quiet pulsations ofrhe great
PacIfic's heart, roll inward in unbroken
lines, and fall with single grand crash,
with intervals Of dead silence between.
They may be heard through the day, il
one listens, like solemn underlone to oil
the SHALLOW noise of the town but ut
midnight, when all else Is still, those Sue
ccssive shocks fall upon the ear with a
sensation ofinexprcssIble solemnity. All
the air, from the pine forest 10 the sea, is
filed with light trenor, and the inter-
hitting bursts of sound are strong enough
10 lar a delicate ear. Their constant repe-
tition at least produces feeling something
like terror. A spirit worn and weakened
BY some scalhing sorrow could scarcely
hear the reyerberallon.--Idl tors Cali
