The following admirable article is
from the Editorial Correspondence of
the Sunday Dispatch:
NEVADA CITY.
Over rough road we reached Ne-
vada, four miles further into the noun
tains, at about sunset. The city is
upon the hill-sides and on the ridges,
among the streams and over them, the
muddy water rushing beneath houses,
stores and hotels, and through the
streets, splashing and gurgling as if
uttering self-congratulating hymns for
their escape from mans torturing in
terruptions, cradles, long-toms, sluices,
fumes, mills, canals and tunnels.
Nearly three years residence in
California had given me some idea of
its resources. / had seen many of its
gold locations and quartz veins from
the Armagosa or Los Angeles mines
to as far north as the Yuba. But not
until after personal sb ervation of
the natural riches of Nevada county,
had ! anything like an adequate con-
ception of the golden abundance which
rests in the bosom of our State, al
though from the indications given, our
people have scarcely yet passed the

richer in its substantial treasures than
the fancy pictures of the Arabian
Nights. The amount Of geld taken

COLTS PISTOLS.

Atthe meeting Of the Institution Of
Civil Engineers, ii London, on the 25th
OF Nov, Sir William Cnbiit in the chair, a
paper from Col. Samuel Colt, Of The
United States, on bis revolving firearms,
was read and highly applauded, as i was
The first communication received from
America. The paper went over the
whole history ofilnprovcmenis in revoI-
ving-bfeech firearms. II appears that
early efforts had been made 10 produce
firearms capable Of rapidly firing several
times without the delay ofloading after
each discharge. Drawings Of a number
Of these were exhibited. Among old
matchbox guns, some ofihem had eight
chambers, rotating by hand; some stone
wheel locks had also eight rotating cham
bers, and one Of these, made in the
seventeenth century, had the peculiarly
|cfigniting the charge close behind the
bullet, in the Same way as that Of the
| Psussian Needle Gun. In the United
Service Museum there was brass mode
|ofa pistol Of the time Of Charles IL, the
chamber Of which was made 10 rotate BY
mechanical devices nearly similar. but
more complicated than that Of Colts
pistol. The inventor Of "Nock's Paten,
Breech," and the Rev. Mr. Fcrsyih's
percussion gun, we're essential 10 the
safe construction Of repeating firearms.
The manufacturing Of firearms, Colts
pistols, as well as other firearms, is done
in quite different manner in America
from what il is in England. In England
the greatest number of all the parts Of a
gun are made by hand; in America they
are made BY machinery. The advania-
ges Of the latter mode are great, for the
lock Of one pistol, or any one part Of a
pistol, will I'll the same part of another
like pistol equally, we'll. Thus, il one
part gets broken, The fragments can be
taken out and new entire piece purcha-
sed 10 fit the place and perform the
Offices Of the injured part exactly. Only
ten per cent. Of Colts firearms are
made by hand labor. The accuracy Of
Colts pistols was fully proven;n England
by experiments, for az Woolwicb, men
upaccustomed to The use Of the said pis-.
tolls, attained to great precision, and with
a small belt pistol, at distance Of fifty
yards, out Of 4S shots, Is bullets took
effect within one foot square, and 10 Of
them hit the bulls eye, which was 8
inches in diameter; all the shots struck
the target. Scientific American.
