1t is evident enough, from these and other Cyl
dcces OF the richness Of the quartz VEINS that the
mineral wealth of California is but beginning to be
deveIoped that hereafter far brilliant are to
be the proofs which shall give to the world Of
the astonishing richness Of QUO I'D mines Not
w;thstanding 80 much has been Said and written
respecting the richness of these quartz veins, the
public has been slow to believe what has been re-
ported of them. Spectators have in more than
.one instance brought discredit upon them, by the
failure To realize the representations they have
made for the purpose OF selling stock in mining
companies.
But no one can view such specimens as those to
which we have referred, and not yield unqualified
belief to the unexamped richness of these veins
which run through our State. There has been no
attriton about them to smooth their surfaces they
present themselves rough, with thousand sharp
angular projections, just rs they have been. torn
from their native mntrice; demonstrating 10 the
most incredulous the truth of the statements which

The CENSUS OF CALuonslA.-In reply to a re-
quest of the Legislature, Colonel Nicely Johnson,
the Census Agent of California, transmitted to the
Senate on Tuesday the returns from all the coun.
ties in the State except Tuoumne, San Diego, and
San Luis Obispo In = few of the counties, where
round numbers are given, estimates have bcen
made, Colonel johnson states, upon Information
furnished by the deputies, and believed to be cor.
rect. He adds, that from the usual difficulties oil
taking the census, the figures stated fall far short
Of the actual population, probably from 50 TO oo
per cent.
There can be doubt, we think that Colonel
Johnson's figures much farther ont of the way
than this. On their face they 30 very wide OF
facts which are in the knowledge of every one who
has paid any attention TO the matter that census
returns they scarcely deserve consideration. In
many Of the most important counties they do
not furnish even n basis for an estimate.
In tho Legislature. comprising gentlemen from
every part OF the State, the census rcturns, we
learn, are regarded not an approximation
to the truth. We need only point to the grossly
inaccurate and absurd returns for the first three
counties named-Trnity, Shasta, and Colusi.

To the Editors of he Washington Rep,,biioi %
On the l4th ult., the western portion Of the
continental part Of this kingdom, from the
northern confines of Calabria to the Roman from
tier, was agitated by several calamitous shocks
of earthquake. This convulsion appears 10 have
had its origin in the volcanic region of Mount
Volture, about one hundred miles to the south
, east Of Naples. II is "a detached and isolated
eminence, three thousand feet in elevation, rising
at the point where the Appenine Chain termi-
mates, on the borders of Basilicala -and Apulia;
its slopas and SUBMITS are broken into numer-
GUS craters, of the vitality of which no record
exists, but which yet bear unmistakable eviden-
ces of eruptive violence at some remote period.
Previous to the first shock, o small
stream which runs near the city Of Melt, sud
denly disappeared, and the shepherds on the
, neighborine Mountain, 1were alarmed by loud
rumbl;ng noises beneath their feet. The monks
of an adjoining convent, admonished by these
phenomena, escaped from the building almost al
the moment it was rent in twain. AT the frs
shock, Melf, which contains ten thousand in.
habtants, was Frustrated IN the Sast, nothing bu
a few orumbling walls surviving the genera
ruin. Up to the present moment seven hundred
dead bodies have been disinterred, and Others
are constantly being found

American Beauty i'm Paris,

Our country women are famous for their
beauty, in Europe, and we find the following
tribute paid to them by the French correspon-
dent of the Herald. But what shall we say of
the other fact-a prevalence of certain COM
plexion-which it indecently mentions?
''M- Berger, the Prefect of Paris, gave on
the same evening, his last grand ball of the
season, at which were present about five thou
sand persons.
The Americans were in great number, and
their ladies and daughters were not assure
you, among the less pretty of the assembly. 1t
is generally remarked here, that the American
blood is finer than the French blood Our la
dies have certainly an irreproachable figure:
they are principally remarkable for their taste
and refinement; but the American ladies have
much finer heads, and are more beautiful. A
remark, very curious to make, is, that the wo-
men of fair complexion and light hair have to-
tally disappeared from Paris, and We have now
moro bruaetteS than 6TlBaeS. This observation
was made to me at the ball of NJ. Berger, where
an English lady, who had the finest auburn hair
ever seen, was pointed at as wonder She
was the granddaughter of George " of Eng
land, and was certainly one of the fnest-look-
ing women present at the party
