How little recks it where men die,
When once the moments past,
In which the dim and glazing. eye
Has lookedon earth its last;
Whether beneath the sculptured urn
The cofilned forms shall rest,
Or, in its nakedness, return
Back to its mothers breast.
Death is common friend or foe,
As different men may hold,
And at its summons each may go
The timid and the bold.
But when the spirit free and warm,
Deserts it, as it must,
What matters where the ileless form
Dissolves again to dust?
~,
'Twere sweet, indeed to close our eyes
With those we cherished near,
And waited upwards by their sighs,
Soarto some calmer sphere:
But whether on the scahold high,
Or in the battles van,
The fittest place where man can die,
Is where he dies for man.

Gold Bluffs. Immense Excitement |!
All California is excited with tic rumor
OF new discovery, far surprising any
thing yet heard Of. The Alta California
has the following account
81: is well known that the steamer Ches.
apeake, with about thirty adventures, left
this port on The 20Ih ult., for The Klamath,
and in yesterdays paper we gave ONE ac-
count Of her progress. Scarcely was our
paper issued when the Chesapeake came
into port. bringing back Eve or six Of The
"prospeclers." Gen. John Wilson and
John A. Collins, ESQ.,, among the number.
A meeting Of The stockholders was called
to hear The result Of the expedition, which
meeting we attended and # we can bring

ter hearing these wonderful details, we will
let lhe public into the secret.
"Twen,y-seven miles beyond the Trini.
", there is beach Of several miles in ex.
tent, and bounded by a high bluff. The
sands Of this beach are mixed with gold to
an exlen, almost beyond belief The sand
is OF two kinds-a fine black sand and
gay sand. The gray sand can be separa-
led very easily frofn the black sand. and
this seems TO be desirable object. The
gold is mixed with the black sand in pro
portions OF from to ten cents TO ten dollars
the pound. At times, when the surfis high,
the gold is not easily discovered. but in The
spring OF the year, after q succession Of
caIms, the entire beach is covered with
bright and yellow gold. Mr.. Collins, the
Secretary Of the Pacific Mining Company.

Inmates it will yield 10 each member Of the
company the snug little sum of $4,000
000-and this estimate is formed upon
calculation that the sand holds out to be
one. tenth as rich as observation warrants
them in supposing.
"The Pacific Mining Company (;he ad
ven,urers Of The Chesapeake have banded
themselves together under this ti,le) found
some nineteen men at these diggings. The
men had no disposition TO dig. for the gold

many ol them engaged in playing cards.

ted as having all the virtues and none Of
the vices Of the whites. This was either
