DoN'T FRET.-It is ;.aamiabe A fretting
man or woman is one of the most unlovely OBJ
iects in the world. A is comfortable
housemate in comparison--it only stings when
disturbed But an habitual fretter buzzes il he
don't sting, with or without provocation. 1t
is better to dwell in the corner of q house-top,
than with brawlng woman in wide house y
1t is useless it sets no broken bones, stops no
leaks, gathers no split milk, cements no smash
ed pitchers, cures no spoiled hay, and changes
no east winds. 1t affects nobody but the fret
ter himself. Children or servants cease to re-
spect the authority or obey the commands Of a
complaining, exactipg parent or master They
know that "barking dogs don't bite" and fret
ters don't strike; and they conduct themselves
accordingly.

HABITs-Like flakes Of snow that fall upper.
ceived upon the earth, the seemingly unimport.
ant event of life succeed one another. AS the
snow gathers together so our habits are formed
No single flake that is added to the pile produ-
ces sensible change; but as the tempest hurls
the avalanche down the mountain, and over
whelms the inhabitants and their habitation, so
passion acting upon the elements of mischief,
which pernicious habits have brought together
by mere imperceptible accumulation, may over
throw the edifics of truth and virtue.

THE DRAM DRINKERS RESOLUTION


IA PARoDY.I
Iwould not drink always, ask not to stay
Where grog shops and tavern signs darken my
Iat. way.
The few lurid moments that rum brings us here,
Are followed by gloom, and beclouded with fear
Iwould not drink always, no, abstinence blest,
Will save all my pennies and sweeten my rest
Then welcome the pledge for my rum resign,
My brandy, my whiskey, beer, cider and wine
Who, who would drink always, far, far from sweet
health,
An exile from heaven-born pleasures and wealth.
Where rivers of water flow through bright plains,
And the noon tide of temperance eternaly reigns.
Tetotalers, then, most happy we'll meet,
And rejoice that they're brethren in harmony
sweet
Let anthems of rapture increasingly roll,
We've the smile of the Lord and feast of the SOUL

struction, the precision of its move
ment and its perfect combination, sat-
isfy in its mechanical part the object
for which it is intended.
"The scientific principles on which
it is constructed could not be clearer
to any one possessing the rudiments of
chemical science. The inventor dis
playing his requirements in this SCI
ence, has based his invention on the
two general principles to which bodies
are subject-specife gravity and affin-
ity. These properties we have seen
operate in the work referred to, the
first causing a precipitation of the
mineral to the interior surface of the
metallic bath which, by means Of fire,
is kept liquid in the principal cylinder,
and the second combining it with each
metal. This wonderful apparatus can
be used by one man; and it is calcu-
lated that it can separate daily four
hundred quintals of mineral, quanti
ty which no mines in Spain could sup
ply to it. With this useful as well as
simple invention, which advantageous
ly supersedes the expensive fusing fur
naces which consume the means Of
the companies, the working of the
mines is placed within reach of indi-
viduals provided with these machines,
and mining industry elevated to the
first rank in the wealth of nations"

them has been constructed for use in

cry Of their property, and sustain them
in their rights. The opposite party
declare their statement to be erpa7e,
and ask for a suspension of public
judgment. But the people of Califor-
MIA will not suspend judgment. They
take sides on every subject immedi-

organizing their forces--some on one
side, and some on the other.
Capt. Morgan returned to the
ground early yesterday morning, ac-
companied by about forty men, and
gained possession of the premises, in
the absence, we believe, of the oppo-
site party. The latter, on learning
the news, proceeded to collect their
forces and threatened to raise 500 men
for fight. Morgan's party also sent
forth heralds to the various camps to
engage reinforcement; and large
number have gone to assist them
Last night, it was supposed, would
come the tug OF war, ana we anxlously
wait to hear the result. For our
selves, we have no hesitation in saying
that we devoutly hope Capt. Morgan's
party will be successful. Not because
we hnow any thing about the men on
either side--they are all strangers to
us nor because we have any interest
whatever in quartz mines-for we
have none; but because Capt. Nor

are simply claiming what the Court
has adjudged to them. The opposite

a higher court, and not to arms

CAPTAIN JOHN A. SUFFER-.

A good natured temperament never
did more to undermine and inundate
mans pecuniary reliance than it has
for the above benevolent pioueer of
California. The eye of speculation
and the hand of shrewdness have fol-
lowed him up SO closely since the gold
discovery of this country, that he has
hardly taken step in which he has
not felt the weight Of some loss--in
which he has not sustained some mis-
cradle shave or misfortune.
The last illustration coming within
our knowledge, was given to us by
himself, day before yesterday. On
this day he was summoned to our city
to resist the application of one of those
legal locks and keys, called attach
ments, to his homestead the hcme-
stead in which his family are now re-
siding.
The attachment, he says, is execu-
ted on promissory note which was
given by A. M. Winn, to Messrs. Hen
ley & Hastings, drawing an interest of
ten per cent. month. This note was
secured by a mortgage upon the prop
erty of John A. Sutter. The note,
he says, is signed GA. M. Winp,
Agent for John A. Suffer-"
The Captain resisted the payment
of the note upon the ground that he
had never made any such negotiation
by his agent, and had never received
any benefit from such loan, and that
it had not been so executed rs to make
him liable. The time has run ON
with the matter of interest, until inter-
est and principal now amount to the
delicate sum of S22, 600; and now to
recover this, an attachment has been
applied to his homestead. Fortunate
ly for this generous old martyr to
speculation, there is an irregularity in
the execution of the note which will
probably neutralize its force, soIfar as
it refers to him.--,Sac. Uuion.

WATER COMPANIES.

1t is very singular that lynxeyed as
men are generally in all matters in
which they are personally interested,
that the great field which has been
opened fof the employment of capital
in the introduction of water into rich
auriferous placers, which have remain
ed unproductive only because of their
distance from that indispensable ele-
ment, has SO far escaped the attention
of capitalists.
Nevada took the lead, and while
the immense fortunes which will be re-
allied from quartz veins are yet sin
futuro," if not "in nu bibus," the Deer
Creek and Cayote Water Companies
have not only paid for their construc'
ton, (although the labor on their ex-
cavation was carried on at an expense
of six dollars per day to the man. but
have also divided enormous dividends,
The Rough and Ready Canal has
proved equally profitable; and, indeed,
so far as our knowledge extends, eve-
Iry enterprise of this nature has been
crowned with success.
There is certainly less risk in this
kind of investment than in any other
in this uncertain country; and those
most intimately acquainted with the
vast alluvial deposits in the mineral
region of this State, will be the men to
engross the majority of shares in Wa
ter Companies which are now in ope-
ration, or yet to be projected, for they
know that it is utterly impossible to
fix date at which any placer will be
worked out.
1t is evident that no exhaustion Of
placer auriferous deposits has yet ta-
ken place, for we hear constantly of
great amounts of gold taken from those
placers which have been worked for
the last three years. As instances of
the truth of our assertion, we need on
ly cite the late discoveries Of bank dig
gings at Lacy's and Doten's Bar, on
the North Fork of the American river,
and at Mormon Island on the South
Fork. 1t is well known that the Nor
mons located early in the winter of
'4S, at the latter place, and the immi-
grants of the following summer were
generally advised not to commence
operations there, as the diggings
"wouldn't pay The other two points
mentioned above were crowded with
miners during the fall of 40: as were
also many other Of the bars on the
branches of the American, and yet we
have to hear of one that is deserted, or
that does not yield the industrious la
borer something above his necessary
expenses.-U Union.
