The Difference.

When the Whiskey Insurrect:on broke out
in western Pennsylvania, although not a
single life was lost, AMI the only offence
committed was a refusal 10 pay the United
States tax on whiskey, Gov. M. Kean took
the field in person, under the direction of
Gen. Washington, TO compel an obedience 10
the taios but at this day when a rebellion
against the laws of the United States breaks
out, and several men are murdered, Governor
Johnston keeps on his way making stump
speeches, telling his friends he owes these
laws no allegiance, and that they ought to be
repealed.

HON. J. N.

The nomination of this experienced ju-
rist and estimable man, for President Judge
of this judicial district is received, so far as
we can learn, with general satisfaction. His
nomination and ele ,;ion will shew the sal
utary character of the amendment 10 the
constitution, by which judges are rendered
elective, and put within reach of the popu-
lar voice. Judge c., after a long and pros
porous career at the bar, accepted an aps
pointment as Judge, and served as such for
ten years, in a district of great labor and
responsibility. His term expiring after
Johnston became Governor, he was not re-
appointed an oversight upon the part Of The
Executive, which the people now propose
10 correct.
We have not learned that any candidate
will be put forward against Judge Conyng-
ham by the Wings but it is of nc lmpor-
lance whether an opposition is attempted OF
not. The result is as certain as it will be
satisfactory, whatever course may be adop-
ted by the opposite party.

IHE BOLDEST MAN ALTvE.-N0thin

ors relied upon, philosophy has now at
tackled the existence of the eqHinoctial

the late meeting of the Association of
Science, at Albany, in paper read be-
fore one of the sections, affirmed the
belief in the semi-annual phenomenon
to be an old woman's delusion, and de-
clared that it had no rational or scienti-
fic foundation. The eminent DR.. Hare,
with that conservatism of instinct which
might be expected in an old Washing
tonian Federalist, came to the rescue Of
this venerable tradition of time and,
from his well-known ability, there is yet
hope that this grand old monument

saved to the world. If "the equinoc-

The northern powers of Europe are
disposed to put their veto on the candi-
dature of the Prince de Joinville for
the French Presidency. Monarchy, in
its present affrighted plight, assumes
curious phases, and this is one of them.
The Frankfort Journal, sort Of organ
Of the kingly combination, says that
they feel that if the Prince de Joinyille
he elected President, monarchy will be
brought down to the level of the Re-
public. They feel still more, too, that
the Prince has no great chances of be-
ing elected. In this case monarchy
would suffer one more humiliation. II.
therefore, repeats, this question for the
present is set aside; but measures Will
be taken to prevent the monarchies OF
Europe from suffering damage from
the experiment about to be made in
France by the younger branches of the
bourbon family. Acting upon these
hints, the prince, as we see by the latest
adVIces has declined to be candidate.

which communications we extract the
following
The opening is about three feet in

eight feet in length the next descent is
to the right of the plat some FIVE feet,

plat you descend in space some fifteen
feet diameter to that point, at which
you notice the first and upper candle
placed on the left; this line Of descent
is 20 feet. This point, from its form, is
called the Liberty Cap ; it is of stalac-
tite formation, and Is feet high, being
composed of four or FIVE of these appa-
rently cemented together, and resting
as you see on table jutting from the
main ledge, with circular stalactite
hanging pendant from its sides; the
other lights on the left were placed for
better view Of the interior and sides.
From the cap the descent is near 100
feet, and you gam your first footing
some so feet in the dark space in front
nearly opposite the two figures in the
centre and on an inclined plane of So
degrees.
The shape Of the first chamber is that

fire on the right, to the narroWest point
on the left, in a line of the two figures
in the centre, is so feet, and it expands
to width of 500 feet in diameter, COW
cred with drapal curtains of stalactites.
A large mound occupies the centre of
this room, so feet in height and 10 feet
in diameter, composed of loose stones,
and earth that has washed in from the
top, and contains gold. Behind the
figure, sitting by the fire, you will notice
a triangular space, in distance 46 feet in
the scale. This is the aperture to the
next chamber below and directly under
the first; it cannot be shown in the
plate. The vertical depth of this room
is 100 feet, and is composed, Of frag-
ments of the rock, forming the cavern /;
in this cllarobars th3s4rsest interesting
feature of the whole presents itself,
which was the appearance of portions
of a human skeleton. On a large flat
rock, on one side of this room, lay
portion of the skull. The skull was not
entire-the entire base was wanting.
All that remained was the os fronts,
the parietal bones and part of the oc-
ciput. One Of the company, Mr.. Phil
lips, attempted to pick it up, in doing
which it crumbled and fell to pieces.
No other vestige is as yet found of these
remains, or the age in which they may
have been deposited, but the situation
or peculiarities attendant, to say the
least, is strongly presumptYe Of high
antiquity.
This cave isnow explored to the depth
of 450 feet, but as yet the bottom is not
found. Two other apertures of great
depth are still known to exist, below
those named, and until more efficient
means are used, they must remain un-
known but the company who have
now located near it, are determined to
find its bottom"

beaten near Petorca BY, the government
forces, consisting of 1900 men under
Col. Vidaurre, who took 500 prisoners.
The engagement lasted three hours,
and the killed and wounded amounted
to about 400, taking both sides. Carrera
made his escape and was followed by
the government troops on his flight.
From Copiapo 500 men were sent
against Coquimbo to cut off the epemy's
retreat, which likewise succeeded, and

A UNITED STATES MINT.-The de-
mand for the establishment of United
States Mint in California is universal
throughout the State. On no other
question are our people so unanimous
in opinion. On every side we hear a
mint spoken Of as pressing want, and
the neglect to give it to us before as
grieyeous wrong. The miners are the
greatest sufferers for they lose about
two dollars on every ounce of gold that
they dig. But they alone are not the
losers ; every interest in the State suf-
fers from this unjust tax on our great
est product. We are compelled to send
our gold abroad for coinage, paying the
shippers and steamers large per cent
age for their trouble and then a por-
ton of it comes back, in coin, to shave
us over again. A mint in California is
not only demanded as matter of JUS
tice, to give the miners full value for
the product of their labor, but it is to be
desired as measure of great import
ance as regards the permanent prospe-
rity of our State. 1t is to be hoped that
the next Congress will not so wiIfiilly
neglect our interests as did the last.
Our own Senators and Representatives
will do well to remember that the peo-
pie of California will hold them respon-
sible, if they do not make most strenu-
Gus efforts for the accomplishment of
this all-important measure Sonora

THE RAIN.
nY GEoRGE ". pUNGAY

ny GEORGE W. BUNGAY.
The dusty earth with lips apart,
Looked mp where rolled an orb Of fame,
As though prayer came from its.heart
n For rain to come, and, 10 it came.
The Indian corn with silken plume,
And flowers with tiny pitchers filed,
Send up their praise Of sweet perfume,
y For precious drops the cloud distilled.
Up where the heavy thunders rolled,
And clouds on fire were swept along,
The sun rides in car Of gold,
And soaring larks dissolve in song.
The rills that gush from mountains rude,
Flow trickling to the verdant base;
Just like the tears of gratitude
That often stain a good mans face.
Bless God for rain ! the good man said,
And wiped away grateful tear.
That we may have our daily bread,
He drops shower upon US here.
Our Father Thou who dwell'st in Heaven
We thank thee for the pearly shower,
The blessed present thou hast given,
To man and beast and bird and flower.
Great King Of Peace deign now to bless
The windows of the sky unbar,-
Shower down the rain of righteousness
And wash away the stain Of war.
And let the radiant bow of love
In beauty mark our moral sky,
Like that fair sign unrolled above,
But not like it to fade and die.
The modest grass is fresh and green
Tie bruoklet smeils III, SJng again;
Methinks an angel-wing IS seen
In every cloud that brings us rain.
There is rainbow in the sky,
Upon the arch where tempests trod
God wrote it ere the world was dry
It is the autograph Of God
