Summary Of Events.

From the Alta California, May l.
The most important event which has trans
pired since the sailing of the steamers of the
10Th, is the election of last Monday, which re-
suited in triumph for the Wings, in maiorities
for city officers ranging from three to seventeen
hundred votes. The Democrats elected two
alderman, the Wings six; the Democrats also
elected four assistant aldermen, the Wings four.
All the rest of the Whig ticket was elected.
The city of Nevada has elected city officers,
and has newspaper called the NeUada Journal,
published semi-weekly.
Considerable progress has been made by the
Commissioners in forming treaties with the
Indians. Yesterday there was rumor that the
volunteers had been whipped by the Indians in
the Mariposa district.
Robberies had been so numerous and bold in
the vicinity of Monterey, that the people have
called upon the Executive for protection.
There has been much snow in the mountains,
and we have heard of several persons who have
lost their lives by being frozen to death
The Indians still continue their depredations
in the vicinity of Los Angeles
Since the rains, the miners have been re-
ported as doing much better than previously.
Some of the richest specimens of quartz have
been brought to this city ever seen, producing
more than thirty-three per cent. of gold
Some rumors have been afioat that a secret
expedition has started for the purpose of taking
possession of Lower California But it is prob
ably merely rumor.
There has been great excitement at Moke-
lunne Hill, in consequence of misunder-
standing between the French and Americans.
Atlast accounts the difficulties had been settled.
ut one time both parties were armed and in
great force, and the prospects were that a gen
eral and bloody battle would ensue.
The Legislature has passed an act to exempt
homesteads and other property from forced
sale, IN certain cases. 1t has also passed O.
Usury Law bill, fixing interest at ten Der cent
and allowing, by special agreement eighteen
per cent. per annum.
The Legislature adjourned yesterday, after
a session of four months.
The prospects of good crops are favorable,
the spring rains having been of inestimable
value to farmers and gardeners
Business has revived considerably and the
confidence of our citizens in the further pro-
gress Of the State is unabated

WONDER OF WONDERS
PETROLEUM. OR ROCK OIL.
"There are more things in hedUsn and earth,
Than are dredmt of an philosophy."

'fThere are more things ia hedcsn and earth,
Than dreamt Of an philosophy"
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, and
the constant application for it, to the Proprietor,
has induced him to have it put up in bottles,
with labels and directions, for the benefit Of the
public.
The Petroleum or Rock Oil is procured from q
well in Allegheny county, at depth of four
hundred feet, is a pure unadulterated article,
without any chemical change, but just it flows
from Natures Great Laboratory! That it con-
tains properties capable of reaching number
of diseases, is no longer matter of uncertainty.
There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known, might be of vast usefulness in
alleviating suffering and restoring the bloom of
health and yigor to many sufferer. Long be-
fore the proprietor thought of putting it up in
bottles, it had reputation for the cure of dis
ease. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per-
formed, is a sure indication Of its future popu-
larity and wide spread application in the cure
of disease.
We do not wish to make long parade of cer-
tiicates as we are conscious that the medicine
can soon work its way into the favor of those
who suffer and wish to be healed. Whilst we do
not claim for it a universal application in every
disease, We unhesitatingly say, that in q number
of Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled. Among
these may be enumerated-an diseases of the
mucous tissues, such as Chronic Bronchitis, Con-
sumption Tin its early stage,) Asthma, and all
diseases of the air passages, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Diarrhna, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back or Side, Ner-
yous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, Gout, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Scalds, Bruises, Old Sores, &C., &c. In
cases of debility resulting from exposure, or
long and protracted cases of disease, this medi-
cine will bring relief. 1t will act as general
Tonic and AlerdtiUe in such cases, imparting
tone and energy to the whole frame, removing
distractions, opening the sluggish functions,
which cause disease and broken constitution
and giving increased and renewed energy to all
the organs of Life! The proprietor knows of
several cures of Piles that resisted every other
treatment, get well under the use of the Petro-
ieuns or Rock OIL, for a short time. The proof
can be given to any person who desires it
None genuine without the signature of the pro-
prietor, S. NJ. KIER, Canal Basin, near 9TH ST.,

The Beacon.
BY T. MOORE.

BY t. MOORE.
The scene was more beautiful far to my eye,
Than if day in its pride had arrayed 1t; lsky
The land-breeze blew mild, and the azure arched
Looked pure as the Spirit that made it;
The murmur rose soft, as l silently gazed
On the shadowy waves playful motion,
From the dim-distant hill, till the beacon-fre
blazed
Like star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the joy of the sailor-boy's breast
Was heard in his wildly breathed numbers;
The sea-bird had flown to her wave girdled nest; (;
The fisherman sunk to his slumbers.
One moment looked from the hills gentle slope,
All hushed was the pillows commotion,
And tho't that the beacon looked lovely as hope,
That star on life's tremulous ocean.
The time is long past, and the scene is afar,
Yet, when my head rests on its pillow,
VIII memory, sometimes, rekindle the star,
That blazed ON the breast of the billow.
In lfe's closing hour, when the trembling soul
flies,
And death stills the hearts last emotion,
then may the seraph of mercy arise!
Like star on Eternity's ocean.

Each leaflet is tiny scroll,
Inscribed with holy truth,
A lesson that around the heart
Should keep the dew of youth;
Bright missels from angelic throngs
In every highway left
How were the earth of glory shorn,
Were it Of flowers bereftl
They tremble on the Alpine heights,
The fssured rock they press,
The desert wild, with heat and sand,
Shares too their blessedness;
And wheresoever the weary heart
Turns in its dim despair,
The meek eyed blossom upward looks,
Inviting it to prayer!
