ADyERTIsING.-Alow me to say a few words
on the subject of advertising, because | think
there is false delicacy among some people on
this matter In my opinion, advertising Is lie.
climate means of making known the wants and
wishes of both buyers and seers-whether they
be. an estate worth half million OF money for
a pair OF Mechi's best raZors' 1t is merely
making an extension of your shop front in the
newspapers whether the articles be seen there
or in the windows, In both its qualities re-
main to be tested It never can answer to adyer-
tise a bad article. By advertising coed one,
you extend your connection, which might other
wise be limited by the number and class OF PEG
pie who happened TO pass your door, and their
connection.

To The News FROM CALIFORNIA re-
ceived yesterday, is of varied interest
The Cholera has committed serious raya-
ges, especially at Sacramento, but it was
evidently declining at the latest dates
Gold digging has not, on the whole, been
very productive the past season, but the
number of diggers has secured large az
gregate yield, while the signally improved
facilities of intercourse and consequent re-
duction in the cost of provisions, &c. has
enabled very many to realize large rewards
for their labor. Still, it must be considered
that prospecting for rich gulches and
other washings has seen is best days.
and that turning rivers for the sake of wash
ing their beds has generally proved fail
ure. Regular mining, or extracting the
gold from the quartz rock in position, must
henceforth be the main reliance, and this
appears to be prosecuted with success wher
ever skill, capital and proper machinery
are employed. There has been another
difficulty with Indians, but it does not seem
to threaten serious consequences.-Basi-
ness has been greatly depressed, mainly in
consequence of the Cholera, but was re-
covering at the latest dates. Such is the
substance of the California news received
yesterday by the Cherokee, of which full
details will be found on the following pages.

The Corporation and the New-YorIs Gas
Company.

Company.
Are the people of this City aware that
the Common Council are about to renew
for eighteen gears the present contract for
lighting the streets And will the tax
payers look on quietly and see the arrange
ments concluded for bleeding them SO free
ly and for such length of time We
cannot believe it. 1t surely needs nothing
more than simply to call public attention
to the fact, in order to arouse so general and
so resolute an opposition to the proceeding
that the parties will not venture to carry it
to its consummation.
There is no time left to mince matters,
for unless something is done at once, the af-
fair will be concluded and the City saddled
with this corrupt contract. For our part,
we dcnounce the project as an outrageous
Job, and we say, that by fair and honest
reasons of public good alone it could not
possibly be got through even such Com
mon Councila as that with which New ork
seems destined forever and under all par
ties to be best The scheme has indeed been
we'll arranged, nursed carefully and pushed
silently without exciting observation. Of
course gas transaction must be conducted
through under ground pipes. But it could
not be finished without coming TO the sur
face, and at last, everything being provided
and prepared, it makes its appearance bold
ly before the public. The contract has al
ready passed one branch of the Common
Councils let it be strangled before it goes
any further
What right have the Common Council
to conclude a contract for eighteen years
with this Company when discoveries of SUI
perior and cheaper modes of illumination
are announced daily in the newspapers I?
There is every reason to suppose that with
in FIVE years, perhaps within one year, the
sort of gas which this Company bargain to
furnish will be obsolete. Shall the city then
be burdened with paying enormously dur
ing this whole time for what it does not
want and will not use! This may be an
agreeable prospect to the managers of a
Company trembling at every advance of
science lest they lose their profits; but in
our judgment the public have suffered
enough already for the benefit of this cor
porotion and ought to be exempt from fur
ther infections.
The Boston Chronotypc of yesterday has
a leading article giving an account of re-
cent visit of its Editor to Mr.. Paine OF
Worcester, the alleged discoverer of a new
Hydro Electric Light. The writer, let US
say, is competent to speak on the subject,
/ and among other things saws the following
