To the CaIifornia-minded.

The Hon. James Wilson, formerly member of
Congress from New Hampshire, and now in
California, writes thus instructively of those he
finds there, and their prospects,
If they had some little sense when they left
home, it is all gone when they get to California.
The glitter of gold bewilders them, and nothing
but desperate adventure for fortune will
satisfy them.
Your Eastern people have entirely erroneous
opinions about California. The common idea is,
that If person can only get to California he
has nothing to do but to scrape up the gold by
the shovelful until he satisfies all the cravings
of avarice. The adventurer for California starts
with this opinion; his mind is all absorbed in
thoughts about linen sacks, buckskin bags, and
close purses to hold his gold; he is anxiously
contriying how TO pack, keep, and safely trans
port his precious yellow dust. His beautiful
reverie is never for a moment disturbed by a
doubt of his getting it.
1t is great and fatal mistake. 1t is enough
OF itself to blast the prospects of nine out of
ten OF all the people who come to California
Inc stern experience Of the practical miner
soon dispels the error, and the poor deluded
sufferer is discouraged, disheartened, and NOR
titled; he loses his energy and fortitude. he
sickens and dies.

The Penn Family.

Granville John Penn, of Pennsylvania Castle.
England, and the representative of that branch
of the Penn family to which Pennsylvania was
Devised and is the first of his name who has
ever visited the Pennsylvania Historical Society,
was very handsomely received few weeks ago.
He was addressed by Judge Sergeant, and made
a very handsome reply. We quote from his
speech:
During the repeated pilgrimages which lie
had made TO the burial place of his great ances-
tor, at Jordans, in Buckinghamshire, land he
was pleased TO find correct representation of
it in the HAIL. obscure, indeed, that it is
scarcely possible to discover where his remains
repose, for the Society to which he belonged
place no memorial to mark the graves of their
dead, he had felt painful regret: but when he
came to America, and landed in this city, and
beheld the beauty Of its situation, the spendor
of its public and private buildings, the area of
ground it covered-when he reflected that it
contained nearly half a million of Inhabitants
when he had visited the interior of this great
State, and saw the fertile farms, the populous
happy and contented freemen, and
the general prosperity of the whole country, and
when he found the veneration and lf-
fection in which his ancestor was held, he felt
yond what stone or brass could commemorate. -

Invasion of England.

The NewYork Albion, paper that pays
much attention to British affairs, ridicules the
declaration in relation to peace, made by Louis
Napoleon, to the forty-five English gentlemen
who dined with him on the 28th ult. The Albion
remarks, pithily enough
few simple persons have quoted this decla-
ration, as a proof that no such foolish scheme
is lurking in the semi-royal breast. Now if the
project was q mere question of time, we should
have taken this announcement as direct evidence
to the contrary, and have expected declaration
of war to follow Immediately upon it. Did not
the arch hypOcrite smile in his saloon, on the
evening Of the lst of December, upon some of
those who, on the following morning, were pri-
soners under his charge? Pity is it, that we
have not the names Of these famous forty-fvc
guests. Perhaps they will yet leak out, since
the vulgar parvenues who could not resist the
temptation of being feasted by a Prince in
palace are of that vain breed who rejoice to see
their names in print. We regret that so many
Englishmen Of the upper class could have been
found in Paris willing to accept hospitality from
a blood-stained hand, and must presume that, in
addition to the set just limited at the party was
made up Of heartless rouses, the associates of
Louis NapoleOn's debauchery, with perhaps here
and there an honest, amiable clever, but most
credulous old gentleman of the school of Sir
Francis Bond Head

To Protect sheen from Dogs.

The general evil with dogs, which | see is
claiming at present the most stringent legislation
in our Northern States to protect the Sheep
likewise exists with us. Our own legislature
has done much and will no doubt do more at
the proper time, to eradicate this evil In the
meantime, let me publish to the sheep-raising
world a remedy against the destruction of sheep
by dogs, which was given me short time since,
by highly respectable and valued friend, him
self an extensive wool-grower 1t consists sim
ply in placing on one sh eep in every ten of the
flock bell of the usual size for sheep The
reasoning Of my friend is this: the instinct of
the dog prompts him to do all his acts in sly
stealthy manner; his attacks upon sheep are
most frequently made at night while they are at
rest, and the sudden and simultaneous iingling
of all the bells, strikes terror to the Dogs they
turn tails and leave the sheep, fearing the noise
of the bells will lead to their exposure The ra-
ito of bells might be made to vary according to
the size of the flock.
The Importance of sheep preservation. from
dogs, the writer hopes, will claim for this com
municatiOn an insertion in most of the papers
of the uuion, that a remedy SO cheap and simple
may be fully tested.-RicA. WAig.

zens and members of the Legislature lie de-
clined the offer i'll aneat and characteristic letter,

gentlemen. Every thing past off to the delight
of those present, and to the honor of the distin-
guished gentleman whose guests we were 1t
was the first time ever had enjoyed the pleas
ure OF seeing and conversng with the distin-
guished Pennsylvania Statesman He is large
robust cid gentleman, of an erect and conman-
ding person, and an iron constitution He is
very fluent and agreeable in his conversation,
and entirely republican in his manners and ad-
dress. No one, the least unsophisticated, can
feel any embarrassment in approaching and con-
miliar friend. He spoke freely his views of the
leading public questions of the day; declaring
his desire to see the compromise measures ac-
quiesced in and maintained as final settlement
of the slavery question, and deprecating inter
vention the part of this country in the affairs
of Europe. Ee has declined the public dinner
rendered him by his friends and admirers in this
city, in a letter which you will find published
in the city papers of to-day. This letter does
infinite credit to the head and heart of its au-
thor.

Louis NapoIeon,s Constitution.

The new Constitution of France, as promul-
gated by Louis Napoleon, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, is q remarkable document, and fully
carries out the object of the coup d etal, by
placing everything in the hand of the 'sNephew
of his Uncle" The President governs by means
of the Ministers, the Council Of State, Senate,
and Legislative body. The Senate is appointed
for life by the President, the ministers are ap-
pointed by him, and depend solely and entirely
upon him, being impeachable only by the Senate,
which he appoints. The Council of State is
nominated also by the President, and are liable
to removal by him. The Legislative corps is
the only one of the four powers-by means of
which the president governs, which is elected
by suffrage; and the deputies of this body are
elected for six years, Louis not wishing to re-
peat the experiment of popular elections too
often. These representatives of the people are
mere nullities. They can neither organize nor
amend laws, but have simply the power of yo-
ting upon such the President sends to them,
as drawn up to the Council of State. The Le-
gislative body is also kept small, in order to be
better under the control of the President Its
sittings are to be secret, and the press has not
the right to publish any of its proceedings, ex-
cept the bare minutes as drawn up by the Pre-
sident of the assembly. No better scheme than
this could be devised for centralizing power in
the President, and giving him complete control
Of all the functions of government. Such a
constitution is libel upon the name of republic
with the shadow of choice, it has all the ele-
ments of the most absolute and complete despo-
tism; as the outrageous DEGREES of the President
show he intends to make the government.

California Emigration.

The Emigration to California is having dis
astrous effect upon the Western farmers, in the
prices of labor. In jackson county, Michigan,
five hundred young men, it is stated, are going
to the gold country. The excitement is similar
in the surrounding countless and farmers have
to pay 500 month, and board, for working
hands.
A large emigration from Indiana is now taking
place for California and Oregon. This is stimu-
lated, no doubt, by Gov. Lanes circulars in re-
gard to the latter country, and by the cores
pondence of Governor M'Dougall, of California,
Judge Bryant, of Oregon, and other influential
individuals, formerly citizens of Indiana, who
have been successful in their new homes A
colony for Oregon, chiefly members of the Pres
byterian church, is now forming in Jefferson
county, under the care of the Rev. Charles Stur-
divant. Baptist colony for the same place
organizing at and near Indianapolis, who will
start in few weeks for Oregon, with their cler-
gyman, who has just resigned his charge for the
purpose, and two or three other colonies are
organizing in different parts of the State, also
for Oregon.
This great exodus begins to affect business
seriously Rents are falling, and labor advan-
cling. Landlords are now looking for tenants
instead of tenants for farms, as heretofore
Farms on the great LawrencebuRg bottoms, that
last year were leased at a rent Of 4, 500 bushels
of corn, this year offered for 8, 200 bushels
and well stocked farms are for sale in all parts

Leather InsDecIOr.

We see it stated that Gov. Bigler has made all
his appointments except that of Leather Iuspec-
tor 1t cannot be denied that Cambria County
did her duty nobly at the last election, giving a
Democratic majority for the State ticket of from
535 to $40, being double the majority given in
1913 Cambria offers for the above situation a
practical tanner, and good a judge of the
various qualities of leather, as any man in the
State. We except no one. He has had an ex-
perience of % years, during all of which time
he has been in leatherup to the eyes, is sound,
radical Democrat, a worthy citizen, and clever
gentleman. Although politicians of this County
have differed some little in local questions, all
united in recommending SAMUEL SINGER, Esq.
for the above Office, and the numerous recon-
mendations from all parts of the State in con-
nexion with his acknowledged fitness for the
station, should obtain for him the appointment.
and We confidently look to Gov Bigler for the
bestowal of said situation upon so deserving a
man.
