THE HOME JOURNAL.

Published aceekly in the City of Ne,o York at tho
dollars year
On the first of January last, commenced a
New Series of this copions comprehensive and ell
egantly printed Family Newspaper which is now
acknowledged to be the indispensable drawing
room gazette of the country. home is hardly
complete we think we may safely venture to say,
without the Home Journal, which is the chronicle
of all that interests all classes of Society, and of
the intelligence which most enlivens an American
Home.-New York is the great Centre, and here,
at the fountain head of novelty, incident, ltera
turc, and foreign news, the Home Journal is prn-
ed and published. Its editors, Geo. p. Morris &
n. L. WILLIS devote their entire time, skill and
experience to the task of giving each week, every
thing worth knowing. They particularly keep an
eye on all the Whims and Novelties of New York
Society, presenting sketches of the Bellies of our
Time, and careful portraits of the distinguished
public characters. In addition to this the utmost
pains taken, by TRANSACTIONS from French Jour-
nails, and by Foreign Correspondence, to prepare
the reports of Fashionable Gossip of Paris as will
exceedingly instruct and amuse We present
to readers, the facts and outlines of all news.
In our literary department, we aim at sketches
and readable criticisms, and in our CONVERSATIONS
of the fecund productions of the vast newspaper
world of England we aim to avoid the tiresome,
and the local, and transfer to columns the pick
of English information and briIliancy, while we en-
deavOr to select with true sense of pure morals,
true w.t. and genuine humor In addition to the
above, we propose to give, in the course the COM
ing volume, one entirely new feature, which we
think will particularly interest the Ladies, viz:
Series of Returned Love Letters This being a.
species of composition that interests all readers,
we trust to make the numbers of the Home Jour
nal more eagerly looked for, and more carefully
preserved than ever. We have also new correspon-
dents in London and Paris, who will send us much
that could never reach us through Foreign Jour-
nails. AS New Years Present from Gentleman
to Lady The Home Journal is one, of which
the remembrance is renewed every week, and it's
unsurpassed as gift i'm good taste.

matter was referred to Gen. Winn, and
two of his staff, Fowler and Cleal. These
gentlemen, after duly inspecting the prem
ises, decided that the amount of dana ges
sustained was $4,000, and so found ac-
cordingly. Mr. Selby left OH Friday for

Quartermaster, but whether he succeeded
in doing so or not, we are unadvised.

the best portion of her mineral region a
spirit of public enterprise has sprung up
which is bound to make her one of the
most important counties of the State.--
With the commencement of winter her
population will be increased by thous-

alive with busy swarms of miners extract
ing the precious orc from mother earth.
Her public improvements will be so far
completed as to become remunerative in
stead Of expensive. Her financial affairs

for her sister counties, and the pride OF
all those who reside within her borders.

the future of Placer county.
