BAYARD TAYLoR's El-DoRADo.--Th is
the best work on Caliiorna, among ,hc
mass Of similar works which the public
appetite lras created during the last three
years, which we have read. We rannot
plead guilty, however, to having read
many. We began with Mr.. Bryanl's
What | saw in Caliorna''-a much
truer ulle for which would have been "phat
did mol see in Caiyornia"-and were not
encouraged TO proceed. That pioneer
book was decidedly failure for the first
edition, which we were So unfortunate as
10 buy, contained litte else than a circum-
staniIal account q! the author disappoint-
ments, perlls aud escapes on his overland
journey to the land of gold he gets to
California and he end of his volume at The
same time.
Bayard Tayl,r's wo X, on the contrary,
treats of sights and steles in California al
mos, exclusively. With the exception of
short description of his outward voyage,
crossing the lslhmus, and his return--lrav-
els through Mexico, whcl, are capilaly
narrated, he 1wells wholly on his exp'ora-
lions in that wonderful region, which
seem to have realized The dreams of Wis
ionares in their widest extent. Mr.. Ta,-
,or went on his nine months excursion as
correspondent of the New York Tribune
and to wri'c book. In his former capac-
ity he won golien opinions at least by his
full and satisfactory accounts, although they
were so Gowing and so coniirmaiory of
what were deemed exaggerated stories
that ONE skcpiics refused at first to cred
II them. AS book-maker he has done
st bet or things ; giving more care and
finish to his literary performance. We no.
tice, however, curious bunIer which
MIR. Taylor keeps up perseveringIy
throughout both his volumes he uses the
a verb only" constantly in strong juAta-
position. For instance (No', |. p pW" we
could only see the tops of some huis,' IN
stead Of 'we could see only the tops, &c."
lie uses " neither a'so wrongly. I" Our
team consisted of four California horses,
neither OF which Sc" Neither" can be
applied TO one Of two only. Mr.. Taylor
would say applied only to one of two"
Trlfing as such errors are, they should not
b, permitted in voIk, generally so well
written.
We advise those who desire to read
clear, graphic, picturesque and liie-lkc
descr ption of the Gold Regions to pur-
chase these books. They are beautifully
illustrated by pictures in lit.,o,in,, after de-
signs by the author, and printed in the
best style. G. p. Putnam, publisher, 1856

IrPThe constant scenes Of rowdyism In
our streets, Election day, were any thing
but creditable to those who visited the
place on that occasion, or to those WHO
should have preserved the peace, and kept
better order in the town. Ii was the must
noisy day of the kind which we have wit
messed in many years; and where the crowd
Of uncouih and ou,landish loafers came
from, we are utterly at loss TO conceive. -
We would not have believed that The little
State Of Rhode Island contained so many
perfect loafers. However, they were here,
and they made the fullest exhibition of
themselves. We saw persons Of all ages,
from s,rplngs Of IA years Of age up to
grey-haired men OF over sixty years, in
the most beas,ly state of inioXication, reel
ing about The streets, insulting women,
and committing Lu sances by yelling and
screaming like wild animals. We saw
more than half dozen fights in the course
of The day there were also number Of
robberes. Yet, all this was passed unno-
tced no one in,erfered, and no one al
tempted to suppress any Of this outrageous
disorder. The officers said they had no
authority. This shows that there is rad.
ical defect somewhere /; either the laws are
deficient, or those who a;e appointed 10
administer them are incompetent to dis
charge their es,-elher position is a
dis. race 10 the town If the laws are
lame, let us make better ones if the Off
GERS are unfit for their duties, let us have
new ones appointed, and thus endeavor to
regulate the police arrangements Of the
town, so that we shall not he disgIaced
hereafter.
There IS law against selling fre-crack-
ers, as well as against their use in the pub
lie streets and yet, from early in the NOR
ming until late hour in the night, there
was an incessan' poP-pop pop, all over
town the little rascas were throwing
their IN ssives about, directly into The aces
of those who were passing in the Streets
This was all in violation ofihe law, and ye,
no one vindcacd the law by prosecuting
the offenders. Our citizens may wake up,
at soae future time, when some serious ac-
cident has occurred, or some great damage
has been done, to lite or property, and pro-
vide remedy for wi a; may happen in the
future. This is certainly, rery miSe and
polite course Of action.

MORNING, MAY l6, 1850.

OJ-" A Lady wants to know why We
apply the term uoman to her sex. In ans
wer to this enquiry we will state that We
cannot honor female more highly lhan
by calling her by her true name, that from
which she came from The hands Of the
CREATOR woman. And the rib which
the Lord God had taken from man, made
he woman, and brought her unto The
man." God never made a lady, and He
never will this is the work OF French
Mlllincrs and fancy dress-makers. We
honor and respect Woman's character; she
has been more honored by God than ever
man was, for He made her the mother of
Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the world.
What loiiier attribute than this What
holier work than this None, surely
none. Women attended the Saviour on
earth = women listened to His preaching
Woaen mnistered unto Him. IL was
woman who first visited the sepulchre after
the ressurreciion--it was woman who
wept when the body was not found in the
tomb. Who ever heard OF a lady IN those
days. Who ever conceived of anything
noble, or grand or sacred ia the character
ofa iady' None bu, fop and fool
To God belongs the honor and glory of
creating WOMAN, but the creation Of a
lady is The peculiar and exclusive preroga-
tive Of dress-makers, for the purpose of
pleasing those whose brains are weak, and
who have not The capacity OF appreciatlng
the nobiity of Woman's character. Wom-
an is the creature Of God, and she has a
noble and honorable mission on earth to
fulfill, in her character of wife and mother.
But lady is thing to be looked at and
played with like doll she will do TO talk
nonsense with, to trife and flrt with, TO
waltz, dance Polkas and make herself ride
ulous in all manner of ways al Balls and
sucl, other fashionable nusances as parlicu-
larry characterize the present age bu, she
who desires TO rank with the noble of her
sex who attended The Saviour on earth
and we're loved by Him, will glory only in
being called a Woman.
