Don't you remember sweet Alice, Bel
Bolt,
Sweet Alice whose hair was brown,
Who blushed with delight if you gay'
her a smile,
And trembled with fear at your frown'
In the old church yard in the valley
Ben Bolt,
In corner obscure and alone,
They have fitted slab of the granite 81
gray,
AndAlice lies under the stone.
Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt,
That stood at the foot of the hill,
Together we've laid in the noontide
shade,
And listened to Appletons mill.
The mill-wheel has fallen to pieces,
Ben Bolt,
The rafters have tumbled in,
And quiet that crawls round the wall
as you gaze
Has follwed the olden din.
Do you mind the cabin of logs, Ben Bolt,
At the edge of the pathiess woods!
And the buttonsball tree with its mot
ley limbs
That nigh by the doorstep stood
The cabin to ruin has gone, Ben Bolt,
You look for the tree in vain,
And where once the lords of the forest
stood,
Grow gre~s and the golden grain.
And don't you remember the school,
Ben Bolt
And the master SO cruel aud grim
And the shaded nook in the running
brook,
Where the children went to swim
Grass grows on the masters grave, Ben
Bolt,
The spring Of the brook is dry,
And Of all the boys who were school
mates then,
There are only you and l.
There is change in the things | love
Ben Bolt
There is u change from the old to the
But feel in the chords Of my spirit the
truth,
There never was change in you.
Twelvemonths twenty have passed, Ben
Bolt,
Since first we were friends, yet hail
Thy presence blessing, thy friendship

WAGES.

Labor in the city, the country, and
the placers, has become graduated to
rate which may be, at the present
.iuncture, more definitely set forth,
than has been permitted in the hither-
to unsettled state of men and things in
California.
Throughout the mines, with very
few exceptions, the price paid per day,
when parties board themselves, is five
dollars, or one hundred dollars per
month, if found We do not believe
but that remuneration equal to what
is here mentioned, may be obtained by
any one who is willing to work, al
though there are some content with
less, or not satisfied to take so little.
Farmers, who are engaging hands for
the season, pay the same prices as
those already quoted. For mechanics,
who are chiefly occupied in the towns
and cities, wages vary from five to
eight dollars per day, but majority
receive the smaller sum, and some
have made engagements at 500 per
month. board included. 1t will be
seen from this scale that the ratio of
remuneration between ordinary work
men and mechanics in the various
branches of the useful arts, varies ma
tcrially from that in the older states.
In the state of New York, for instance,
good men are employed in the avoca-
tions Of farming, who receive only
from 100 TO 100 dollars year, inclu>
ding their board and lodging. Arti-
zans, however, who are mostly cngag-
ed by the day, will average three or
four times an equivalent Of the pay of
farm hands. In California, while the
former can realize from five to ten
times the return accorded them in the
Atlantic States, the labor Of the me-
chanic is inlanccd in much less pro-
portion.
Trades unions, and working mems
associations have been undertaken
here, to prevent the results of inord-
nate competition upon wages, but ex-
ccpt in the case ofprintcrs, prices have
failed to be sustained The fact that
heretofore, only the more provident
and better paid classes have been able
TO come to this country, accounts for
the greater proportion of mechanics,
and the natural disposition Of an arti-
zan to prefer the pursuit with which he
is familiar, induces many to follow
their trade, in preference to receiving
larger pay for less congenial labor.

HuMRnLnT RAY.

This has proved rather a slow place,
considering the great ado that was
made a year or two ago about the
"sccond best harbor on the Pacific,
and all the grand girings ont AS to the
certain destiny Of Eureka, Humboldt,
Uniontown and of whatever other
cities may have been then laid out on
the newly explored coast.
Of the places we have mentioned
Uniontown is the only one which now
retains much more than "a local habi
tation and name" If Eureka and
Humboldt have between them a dozen
houses and as many inhabitants il
would be idle speculation to estimate
their probable continuance on a spo
which only the widest protective fan
cies could have selected as the cite O
future cities.
Uniontown alone has retained n pop
ulation of about one hundred, among

ASTONISHING DISCOVERIES.

Some of the most astonishing dis
coveries of gold we ever heard of, have
during the past week, been made with
in a mile of this place, in an easterly
direction. The whole town, in fact
seems to have run mad--every class
of our community, from the lounging
idler to the most energetic, having
cone post haste to the new El Dorado,
(some of them even late at night and
staked off claims for nearly mile, up
and down the hill sides, bordering up
on the head of the Chilian Guich,--
The new diggings are called Sport
Hill, from the fact that their eXtraor-
dnary richness have tempted out near
ly all the old sportsmen of our town,
who may now be daily seen, welding
pick and spade as Justify as the hardi-
est miner. 1t would be useless for us
here to repeat any Of the many extra
VACANT stories (none of which are con
tradicted) that we have heard of these
extraordinary diggings, but we will
mention what we know by our own
observation. The hole which created
the furore, is one hundred and ten feet
deep, and commenced paying well at
thirty five feet from the ledge. We
stood by while one of the party in this
claim washed out some half dozen
buckets of refuse earth, from which he
obtained ten or twelve dollars of gold,
one piece weighing upwards OF six dol
lars. This dirt was only washed to
throw dust in the eyes OF the crowd
who stood around. the No. dirt being
kept separate, and reserved for future
operations, when there shall be plen~
tv of water. The ruse, however, did
not succeed, every one seeing through
it at once, and only becoming more
firmly convinced of the vast wealth
that lay hidden in the earth beneath
their feet. The majority of the claims
are being "worked with will" and

rich, or if this one claim alone is TO
yield fortunes to its owners. Another
hole, lower down the hill side, has
commenced paying at seven feet from
the surface, the owners ayerring most
positively that they get from it five
dollars per bucket. 4 tunnel company
has also been formed, and have com
menced operations in the hill. The
indications of gold, here, are the same
as those on French and Stockton Hills

The Sonora Herald, in speaking o.
affairs about Union Greek, expresses
the opinion that the general success II
that quarter has been, and IS, very

head of Mormon Gulch, and head OF
Jackass Gulch, there are scattered en-
campments of miners, who arc just
about commencing operations. The
aforementioned places include a
large section of country, with numer-
Gus gulches and flats, containing gold.
The miners have races dug, to lead
water from the upper part of the Nor
mon Greek to their ground, and in
some of them it is already running.
On Jackson's Flat, and Jackass Gulch,
especially, those who have claims are
likely to be well paid for their labor.
The diversion of water into races, from
the head of Mormon Creek, will be of
double advantage; ; it will facilitate the
working OF many dry gulches, and will
also SO far diminish the stream in the
main creek, as to render working there
quite practicable even in the rainy
season"
The following additional items are
from the San Joaquin Republican:
1round Columbia the miners were
actively engaged in preparations for
washing-iixing their drains, &c.-
during last weeks rain. There was
not sufficient water, however, to effect
any good A few more such rainy
spells, and a large population will be
busily engaged in that vicinity.

The Calaveras correspondent of Il
San Francisco Herald, writing fro
MoqueIumne Hill, under date of De
10, says:
Feeling anxious TO keep your nj
merous readers well posted in refe
cnce to affairs in this important poi
tion of the mining region, write fl
the purpose of informing them of
very important discovery of exceed
ingly rich placer diggings, and yer
extensive, which were discovered lad
week about six miles north east froT
this place, on the opposite side Of th
Moquelumne river. The discovery
was made by a party of men who werd
working in a gulch, long since supposl
ed to have been worked out. In pros
ecutipg their labor they discovered
that the bed rock, which rose from the
centre Of the gulch, inclined again TO-
wards the hill. This being considers
ed by miners very favorable indica-
,, ton, they were induced to continue
their work, and they were eventually
rewarded by discovering an immense
dcposite of very coarse, heavy gold
They communicated their good fortune
to few particular friends, who were
induced to try the same experiment in
other ravines, and most fortunately
with the same splendid results. The
news of newly discovered diggings, as
usual, spread like wild fire, and in the
course of n few hours, scores of indus
trious miners, from every direction,
were rushing towards the rich discov-
cry. On Saturday, the day after the
discovery was generally credited, the
excitement was most intense. Hun
dreds were on the ground for the pur-
pose Of locating their claims, and going
to work but they were most csscn-
TALLY nonplussed in their golden cal
culaiions upon being informed, by a
party of land sharks, that the whole
area, for nearly a mile in extent was
laid off into town lots, and that they
must of course pay from 30 to 800 dol
lars for piece OF ground large enough
to erect Il tent on. How many lots
were sold ] am unable to state; but
nv informant-Mr. La Forge, of this
place-assurcs me that when he left
the camp there was general ''muss'
Iamong the lot spectators, on account
of their having exhausted the lexicon
in furnishing names for streets in the
extensive city, and not being able &c
agree OH foreign names.
The reports relative to the unprece-
dentcd amount of gold extracted from
a small quantity Of earth, are OF so ex
iravagant a character, that | wiIhhol'
them until ! have satisfied myself, BY
personal observation, that they ap-
proach the truth. Then | will com.
municate them, and be responsible iol
their correctness This is the seconC
discovery of rich diggings in this vi
cinity within the last week; and
have no doubt they are unsurpasse'
in extent and Importance. For furthc

coveries on" "Sport Hill" which | men
