THE ATTEMPT AT ARsoN.-The at
tempt which was made short time
since to set fire to house in Merchant
street, and the occurrence of several
burglaries and robberies, which we have
been called upon to publish of late, lead
to the conviction that the horde Of des-
peradoes who have been scattered to
all quarters of the interior, by the ener-
getic and terribly effective interposition
of the people, are re-assembling in our
midst, and beginning to take heart from
the apparent mac ton of that dreaded
organiza ton which exiled them, are
about to repeat the series OF outrages
that once excited our citizens to such a
pitch of Indignation. 1t was hoped that
examples sufficient had been witnessed
OF the stern determination of the people,
and lately of the courts, to visit swift
punishment upon the heads of offenders,
to deter them for long time to come
from repetition OF their villanies. But
it seems not, for an attempt has been
made within forty-eight hours to set fire
to the city-a crime involving as it al
ways does here the loss Of life-above
all others calculated to call down the
vengeance of the people In view OF
these things, it behooves all to exercise
q watchful care, and afford no opportu-
nifty to the criminal 10 effect his purpo-
ses. No man would attempt arson in
this city who is not doubly dyed in vii
lany, and prepared to 60 all lengths to
attain his ends. The police have had
comparatively light duties to perform of
late, and it is incumbent upon them to
arouse to active exertions for the pre-
seryvatien of the city from conhagration
and the citizens from the assaults of mid
night assassins.-S. r. Herald.
The Nevada journal., 1852-01-03

HUMBOLDT BAY.-A correspondent of
the Courier writing from Humboldt Bay
has the following;
Gas stated, | believe, in former let
ter, this is remarkably healthy, salu-
brious, and in many respects desirable
climate. The extremes of heat and cold
are alike unknown snow never lies in
the valleys-the prairies and timbered
land are clothed in perpetual green
the dews fall regularly every night
showers of rain every month in the year,
and irrigation of crops wholly unknown
and unnecessary With proper facili-
ties for obtaining supplies, and for send
ing off her surplus products, what can
prevent such country from filling up
with an industrious and enterpr' sing
population 1t is now little over one
year since the first settlements were
made. Last summer the first sods
were turned by rudely constructed
ploughs, and some seeds deposited,
which, without any further cultivation,
either with plough or hoe, has produced
product which would astonsh you. |
dare not say the increase has been a
thousand fold; but if you could see the
large piles or heaps of pototoes, weighing
from one to three and four pounds each
cabbages Is or 20 inches in diameter ;
beets, turnips, etc, in proportion, you
would unquestionably infer that this
country is good for "some pumpkins /"
too. Barley, also, grows to great per-
fection. Wheat, oats, and corn, have
not, understand, been tried. The
business of shipping Hobart Town, or
Sandwich Island potatoes to this part Of
the country, is now about over. By an
other year, Humboldt Bay will contri-
butte its full share in removing from Cal
ifornia, the disgrace of being dependent
upon foreign soil, and the industry of a
foreign people for her potatoes and barr
lew

NEWSPAPERS. There are ten news
papers in Austria, fourteen in Africa,
twenty-four in Spain, twenty in Portu-
gal, thirty in Asia, sixty five in Belgium,
eighty-fve in Denmark, ninety in Russia
and Poland three hundred in Prussia,
three hundred and twenty in other Ger
manic States, five hundred in Great
Britain and Ireland, and one thousand
eight hundred in the United States
This gives the United States 352 more

The contrast between enlightened and
real republicanism, and the aristocritic
Europe snsm which marks even a repub-
lie i'll Europe, is becoming too painful
and too apparent to subsist, without fresh
revolutions The following, from Ga
i,gnanfS Messenger, exhibits the con-
trast most forcibly:
There is hardly great city of Eu-
rope which one might not suppose to be
inhabited by wild beasts rather than
men, or by enemies rather than citizens,
such is the formidable character of the
means employed to secure its tranquil,
ity and obedience. Ramparts frown on
the people from the river side, or the
brow of the hill there are barracks and
guardhouses in every quarter; there are
troops always in movement: the drum
never ceases; at every public place you
may stumble on a group of soldiers
ready to turn out on the approach of the
officer in command and you feel as il
it were not so much city as camp
you are dwelling in. France is hardly
more unfortunate in this respect than
the other great powers of Europe: but
there are, we believe, in the depart
ment Of the Seine, about one hundred
thousand soldiers, and Lyons, a mere
manufacturing city, is policed by more
than thirty thousand"

REMEDY FOR RATs.--Mix up with
bread and butter, or paste, a strong dose
of calomel, and put it where rats will
get it, and you will not again be troubled
with them. So think we after trying
the experiment. Our city is overrun
with rats, and is getting worse in this
respect constantly. If ten pounds Of
calomel, which would not cost more
than twenty-five dollars, were distribut-
ed over the city, the vcrmin would dis
appear entirely from our limits in a
week. Householders and others should
try the experiment. on their premises,
and we will warrant its success.

NEVADA Cry, Jan. Cd, 1852

To THE EDrToRs NEVADA JOURNAL -
The works of the Bunker Hill Quartz
Mining Company have been in opera
ton for three days, and as question of
vital Importance to the quartz interests
of California was involved in the exper
imcn:, we deem it due to the public and
to stockholders not yet apprised of the
issue, to make the following statement
We are able to crush eighty tons of
quartz daily, and our furnace which
works admirably will smelt forty tons,
with ease, within the same time, at
cost for fuel of one half Of the original
estimate All of the metal in the quartz
is fused and assumes a globular form as
it drops into the receiver below. That
which remains in the calcined quartz
also assumes the same form, and is easi-
ly separated by another simple process.
Thus we shall be able to extract o. II the
gold from forty tons of quartz per diem,
at an expense not exceeding three hun
dred dollars
Owing 10 the anxiety manifested to
know the result of our experiment, the
works have been put in opera ton before
completion. The satisfactory issue now
authorizes the company to proceed to
finish the works with vgor and imme-
diately after, commence active business
operations.

The RAINs.-For the past week, the
rain has fallen almost constantly, SO that
in every ravine and gulch there is plenty
of water for washing; and every where
miners are taking advantage of the
long expected rain to wash out their
piles of earth, which were thrown up
during TIVE summer This haa made an
Immense demand for rockers, long toms,
and all the implements of the miner,
all of which there is, fortunately, a
good supply in the place. An impetus
has already been given to trade, but the
full benefit of the rain to this place will
not be made apparent until the miners
shall have washed their earth, and come
in loaded with the rich spoil of the nelgn-
boring ravines.
The creek at this place, which not
long since was dry, has now swollen 10
the size of quite Respectable stFeam'
and at ane time threatened to overflow
all that part of the village on tne nat
below the Empire The waters seoeasd,
however, and the danger tor the present
is past,-El Dorado Ne'cs.

WESTERN WORLD INSTITUTE. The
opening lecture of this institute was
given by Rev. Mr.. Fitch, at their Hall
on Clay street, near Montgomery. The
establishment of this mental, moral and
social engine Of improvement, is one of
the clearest and most satisfactory evil
dences of healthful progress in public
opinien, morals and taste. Time was
when the gambling table, made more
bewildering by constant floods of music
which united its strains with intoxicat-
ing drinks to dethrone the Judgment
and uncrown the souls majesty, was
almost the only resort Of those whose
time hung heavy upon their hands.
But more rational tone of sentiment
has succeeded. An insane rush after
sudden wealth, has, to great extent,
given way to higher and nobler aspira-
tions and employments. The objects
proposed by the gentlemen who have
estab blished the Institute are such as
commend them to the favor of every
wsll-w wisher of California-every lover
of the human race, desirous of its i'm
provement. The best talent in the
State has come forward Voluntarily to
the support of this excellent design, and
there can be no doubt, not only Of the
eventual success of the Institute, its
museum, and all its interests, but also,
that it will prove a source Of great salts
faction and improvement to the commu-
nifty. 1t is intended to give two lectures
weekly upon the most popular and in
terestinp subj ,cts-- Dispatch.

MINERS AND FARMERS HARVEST.
While the glorious rains, with which we,
have been blessed for the last week.
have cheered the hearts of the des, ,ond-
ing miners, enabling them to test the
reality of the treasures they have seen
in vision, in their huge piles of earth.
they have operated like charm upon
the bare and parched hills, bringing
forth the grass with wonderful rapidity,
and completely changing the face of
nature. The slopes of the hills around
the city and over the bay, now display
their holiday attire of vivid green,
pleasing to the eye, and bringing glad
ness to the heart of the husbandman.
No fear now of slim crops The rain we
have had, coming just at the time when
the farmers are breaking up the ground,
will have the effect of turning attention
still more strongly to the cultivation of
the earth, and the development of the
resources Of our teeming soil, rs yet
scarcely touched.
But few years will elapse before
California will produce every product of
the earth, required for the consumption
of our people. We hear of large guam
titles of land being put in barley this
season. There is perhaps no soil that
produces this grain in such luxuriance,
at an expenditure of SO little trouble
1t is an article of prime necessity here,
and will always command a handsomely
remunerating price. 1t is now selling
for about eight cents the pound, or $3.50
the bushel. Wheat is quoted in the
Atlantic markets just now at about 80
cents the bushel. What harvest the
old farmers at the east would reap, if
they were to expend the same amount
of labor here, as at home How their
old fashioned notions would be startled,
at the idea of receiving $3.50 per bushel
for their produce.-S. f. Herald.

UNENvIABLE PREDrcAMENr.-AF French
man, not over jealous in his obeyance
of the fourth commandment, went to
cayote in his hole, which was $50 feet
deep, last Sunday. He told his partner
when he lowered him down, to come
back to hoist him out at clock in the
afternoon, and with this descended into
the Vastly depths of a "shaft." He
had not done much picking" however,
before he heard the earth above his
head crack, and he vamosed speedily to
the other end of the hole. He had no
sooner left than about two tons of rock,
lava, &c., dropped promiscuously, cover
ing the pile Of earth he had just picked
off. Here he was, with fear depicted
on his countenance, not knowing but
the next minute would be heralded with
q general ''caving in" Of the whole sur
rounding earth. There was no escape,
however; for he had to remain where
he was till A o'clock, when his partner
came and hoistsd him up, more dead
than livs.-Chrsniets.

Muddy Streets. jackson and San
some streets, at the point where they
intersect each other, at this time, pre-
sent most attractive appearance
The mud is Of the consistency, and
possesses the adhesive qualities of
thick tar, and is something less than a
fathom deep. Yesterday, in the space
of a half hours time, we saw three or
four drays stalled there, in their en-
deavors to effect passage, whilst a
whole fleet Of vehicles brought up on
the edge of the abyss, their drivers
waiting patiently, interested specta-
tors of the ceremony of extrication.
