THE THoUGHTs OF ANOTHER WORLD
1t is not in the heyday Of health, and enjoy
ment-lt is not in the morning sunshine of
his day, that man can be expected feeIingly
to remember his latter end, and to fix his
heart upon eternity. But in after life many
causes operate to wean us from the world !;
grief softens the heart sickness searches it;
the blossoms of hope are shed death cuts
down the flower OF the affections the dis
appointed man turns his thoughts towards a
state of existence were the wiser desires
may be fAed with the certainty OF faith ; the
successful man feels tn objects which he
has already pur'ped fail to satisfy the crav-
ings of an immortal spirit the wicket maj
turneth away from his wIckedness, that he
may save his soul alive.

Steamboat Disast ers,

From the Sacramento papers of the
26th, we learn number of accidents
have recently happened the steam
boats on the Sacramento river. 1t is
said that in neither instance could any
blame be attached to the officers, but
they have been the result of series
of fortuitous circumstances, beyond
the contral of human skill and man
agement
Tile Confdence.-The Union says
the Confdende in coming up on Sat-
urday evening ran on rock about z
o'clock, seven miles below Benicia,
thus delaying her until two o'clock,
when high water enabled her to get
off. She ran up to Benicia, where
she lay until morning, owing to the
dense fog which prevailed. She stop
ped afterwards to take off freight from
the w. G. Hunt, which still lies in a
disabled condition at Montezuma
The Confidence arrived here at six
o'clock last evening.
The Erpress.-The Union says, we
learn that the steamer Express is
aground l6 miles above Colusa, with
a hole in her side, and was making
much water yesterday morning as the
Camanche came by. The steamer
Marysville, bound for Tehama, struck
a snag two miles below Tehama, losing
one out of three hands who were
thrown overheard by the conclusion.
She was saved from sinking by her
bulk heads. She was last seen round
ing the point below Tehama City.
The Orient, which has be en- aground
on Orient bar, has arrived at her berth
in this city.
Loss ofthe Senator's Nfsc Boilers -
The San Francisco papers note the
arrival of the clipper Hornet, after a

Senator, but was compelled daring a
violent gale, TO heave them overheard

NEVADA is said to be exceedingly dull
Mt this time. Hotels, stores and 50 loon,
are equally afflicted with the prevailing
stagnation. The failure of number
Of quartz enterprises is the principal
cause of this temporary evil.
The above paragraph, which we find
in the Times and Transcript of the Oath
instant, is not only calculated to mis-
lead, but does an absolute injustice to
Nevada, 1t is fact that several board.
ing houses have closed within the last
few weeks, but while tho business oil
some houses has fallen off that of others
has increased in like proportion. The
Times and Transcript probably got its
information from some one whose idea
Of business is confined to the amount oil
gambling carried on in place, and who
on seeing the principal saloons deserted
jumps to the conclusion that like stag
nation exists in oil other kinds of busi
ness. That there has been marked
failing off in the gambling business in
this place we readily admit but thil
is attributable to other causes than that
assigned by the Transcript. We doub,
whether there ever was time that
quartz miners felt more confident oil
success in their operations than at pre-
sent, or in which quartz claims were
held in higher estimation, Two or three
instances have occurred in this neigh,
borbood in which quartz mills have fail.
ed to be profitable, but these cases car
be fairly attributed to bad mana ge ment
or to radical defects in the machinery
and in no case to q failure of the quartz
| The mercantile business is dull a.
present in all parts of tho State, as il
usually the case in the winter. Ever
in Sacramento although tho prcsence
Of the Legislature may make the place
appear lively--the merchants are doinl
little or no business. No better evi
dence can be afforded of the dullnes.
of the times in that place, than the fact
Of the merchants having combined to.
gether to prevent country traders from
going to San Francisco to make their
purchases. The same may be said ol
the business Of Stockton, Marysville, and
other towns, as we have abundant and
authentic accounts.

TRINITY c uRCH. The new and
beautiful Gothic church, recently erect
ed by the parish congregation, will be
opened for Divine service on Sunday
next for the first time The church is
situated on Pine street between Mont
gomery and Kearney streets, upon the
middle of the fifty vara lot pure chased
by the ladies OF the parish
The church is 36 feet by 70, and is
in the Gothic style of architecture. The
nave is 40 feet high, thus afforling am
pie space for sound, and we are inform
ed that there are few churches in the
United States where this great deside-
ratum has been more satisfactorily real
lied than in this church.
The chancel end is lighted by what
is termed triplet window. being a
cluster of three windows painted en-
blematic of the Trinity. The middle
window is II feet high, and all three
are filed with stained glass, producing
a pleasing variety of colors, and leaving
in view the outline of cross. Above
these windows is triangle window
filled with stained glass, the centre
forming star. The side windows are
glazed with color of glass suitable to
proper effect of light inside The
elave story is supported by eight CO.
lumns, and the choir is placed at the
south end, over the entrance, at dis
tance of lS feet from the floor. Alto
gether, the appearance of the church,
with its dark stone plastering in imi-
tation OF brown stone) and the effect of
the windows, combined with successful
construction for sound, lenders it one OF
the first edificss in point of beauty in
California
The outside is we'll covered with iron,
and the church being placed in the
middle OF the lot, will doubtless render
it safe from destruction by FIRE, should
our city be again visited with this de.
structive element.
The pews' numbering seventy four, are
nearly two-thirds rented. and the church
hns eeen erected with means derived
from the letting of the psws, and a
distribution will be made ON Monday
next, to the subscribers who have paid
the pew rents up to that time, -Aita.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. I'D.
Business calling me to Auburn and
Ophir the past week, I made trip
through that region. | was much pleased
with the evidences afforded Of flourish
ing and permanent business and mining
interest. both at the above named
places and along the stage route. -
ophir is small, onsy town, pleasantly
located, with large expectations from
qu:rtz, and also from its placers, when
the Bear River ditch is completed.
Auburn is larger and more important
point, and business in it, was informed.
was excellent. The miners are watt
ing steady supply Of Waterfront Bear
River, which they said would be intro
duced in the course Of month. The
general character Of the buildings in
these towns is inferior the houses are
mostly rude, one story structures, des-
titute of symmetry and paint and am
somewhat surprised that at Auburn es-
pecially, where business is said to be
very good and to have been SO for year
and half more improvements have not
been introduced The fact is. people
cannot divest themselves of the idea
that all our central towns are mere ac-
cidental stopping places, and permanent
investment of capital in them is as un-
wise as paving the ocean with dollars
But any one who truly estimates the
rapid and general advance of this whole
State must know its destiny cannot be
reversed. The foundation Of great
commonwealth is being laid. Let it be
laid broad and deep.
A stage line will be run through from
Auburn to Nevada in the course of a
couple of months.
| visited the Legislature on Wednes-
day. The members elect, taken as a
body, seemed to me rather weak COM
pany, though don't pretend to infali-
hle judgment in the matter.
On Wednesday the mileage question
was up, and the appropriate committee
was ordered to audit the accounts for
mileage of members according to the
law of 1850, instead of that of 1851, the
former law being the most remunera-
tive. The latter law did not receive
the signature of the Governor til after
the adjournment of the last legislature
This may be legal. but the setting aside
the new law makes diff renee of be.
tween one and two hundred thousand
dollars to the State The number of
miles most of the members travelled
to get to the capital must have been
really fatiguing, if the accounts rem,
dered are correct.
