The STEAMER ATLANTIC.-This vessel has been
due some days. and the fact that she has not yet
arrived begins to excite upeasiness. In order to
leve in some measure the anxiety of those who may
have friends board of the Atlantic we would state
that every possible of safety in case of acct
dent was fully provided BY Mr.. Collins. We under
stand from reliable authority that the Atlantic has
pumps sufficiently powerful to flood the ship in
of fire, and metallic life-car to land through any
surf Besides, she has six of ''Fremer's metallic
fre-proof life-boats,' of immense power and size
Three of them will carry one hundred persons each,
and the boats cannot be submerged. The Atlantic
has seven boats in all and too much praise cannot
be given to Mr.. Collins for his thoughtful provision
for the safety of his passengers in of those
aVodable accidents which may happen to all who
- go down into the deep in ships"

CALIFORNIA GoLD-We have heretofore ex.
pressed the opinion, that the wealth OF the Cal
iiorina gold region, is yet to be developed in her
rich quartz veins. Evidence of this fact may be
had any day in the week at the Office Of the Rocky
Bar Mining Company situated few doors below

metsl--a single lump, some six inches square,
worth $500
We are informed by the President of the Com.
pany, Mr.. MIcKELs, that the machinery ofthe Com.
pany for crushing the quartz will all be up by the
middle Of May, it being their intention TO ship Il

Of the kind, We hazard an opinion that its weight

ceptlble Of being crushed. One who is learned in
such matters pronOlnces it the most powerful
ever manufactured for the purpose. When in
operation this machinery will crush one hundred

It's deemed advisable Tn insure an economical

wise and polite measure to give TO labor the op-
portuniy to contribute its share toward the sup

moral and social elevation. There are many who

morally free; and is but as guest eating a

PATRIoT WAR-Our citizens were astounded
last week, with the report that riot was in pro.
gress at DuDkirk among the Railroad operatives,
who were in state of IN civil war, and calls
were made Tor Warlke munitions from this village,
to put down the riot. The brass nine FOUNDER
and 20 muskets were furnished. The riot was
finally queled, and some ten or twelve prisoners
captured on Thursday, on their way to Mayville.
There have been some alarms given from the seat
OF war, but we have heard OF no further outbreaks.

STRIKE.-The laborers about two hundred In
number, on the canal enlargement IN Brighton, In
the employ Of Mr. Clark, struck for advance
OF wages yesterday. We believe the price paid
was six-eight cents per day, and the price do.
manded is seventy five cents per day. The men
who struck were mostly lrish, and their places
had been filed by Germans The party who had
been displaced appeared upon the works, when
the men who had been newly employed thought
it was better to run than fight, so no blood was
shed. We believe the work is suspended to-
day, but the old hands are watching the progress
oimatters with some little anxiety. Roch Adv. 5.
