MAJOR Luc1us n. LANcwoRTHY.

In consequence of the large space occupied
in our paper of yesterday, by the bill now be
fore Congress petitioning for a grant Of lands
to the State in aid Of our dubuque and Keo
knk' and '.Davenport and Council Bluffs Rail-
roads" )" were unable to give insertion to the
following comments upon the policy and expo
diency of the compromise course pointed out
by our friend Major Langworthy, in his ably
conceived communication. 1t always affords us
pleasure to hear and give expression to the
views of Mr.. l. on the subject of our great i'm
provements in as much as he has always been
foremost amongst our citizens in the manifesto
tion of his zeal, industry and energy for the
advancement of the public veal.
But. whilst all this is true, we nevertheless
frequently differ with him in his notions Of pub
lie policy, constrained to do in tie pres
ent instance. Nothing but an unfiaching ad
hercncc to the bill as il no,c stands before Con.
grcss and as il has always stood, can meet will
our appreciation, and we shall hold erer5
tion from the points included in oul
present bill, because these are the points whcl
have been ratified by the Legislature of thc
State, our State conventions and consequently
by the whole people There is no way by
which we can better test the public sentiment
than through our Legislature and by our State
Conve ntions, both Of whichhave snlcmnly de
cared that the" davenport and Council Bluffs
and the dubuque and Keokuk Roads" are the
lines upon which our delegation in Congress
are expected to unite their efforts.
We shall have more to say upon this subjec,

REpUBLICANISM IN EUROPE.

! 1t is of course very uncertain what will be the
next step of Louis Napoleon, but be it what il
may, we are naturally led to abandon all hope
for the present at least, of republcanism in Eu-
rope.
! 1t is idle to talk of the affections of the peo-
pie for the principle of universal suffrage; it is
not sufficient to ensure the tranquility of
France. If it were, and the people were SIN
cere in their efforts tor a more liberal and en-
lightened policy, the very moral power OF such
a condition of the public pulse, would go
far at least towards the permanent organization
of republic which would secure TO them the
choicest clements of government, because its
very existence would require from the usurpcr
Napoleon such difference TO their inclinatlons
as would give shape and efficiency to their viii.
But the people seem to have no will beyond that
of blind change There is nothing definite,
nothing determinate us to the system, organ
ization by which it Is desired to supplant the
evils which are declared to be inscparable from
the existing state of things. There is no free
discussion there is no free press; consequent
merits of this or that change. There is no COM
munon of thought, or interchange of views,
and consequently communion of WILL A
revolution in government is effected, a change
is brought about, but the first intelligence the
people have of it is, that change exists; there
is no preparation in the minds and hearts OF the
people for it and as a consequence, all is confu-
sion, daubt and uncertainty as to weat shall be
done, or what is really the course of true policy
under all the circumstances. They do not seem
TO have any idea of principle, but are borne
away by name, an empty sound, or some self
constituted hero and patriot Mhose principles
are about as vacating as his ambition is
scrupulous. When Europe is free, France will
be free; because when Europe is free it must
come by freedom Of thought, freedom of speech
and freedom of the press.

GREAT DISCOVERIES OF GcLD NEAR QUARrZ-
BURG.-We understand that all 'Mariposa coun-
tv is in a state Of excitement in consequence Of
the recent discovery of an aurifernus Hill on
Bear Gulch about six miles from Quartzbnrg,
that has already yielded an amount of gold al
most surprising belief.
II appears that there were Indications of n
quartz vein upon the hill which attracted sew
eral Mexicans to the spot, who set about open
inc the ledge. They continued quietly at work
for some time, when it was rumorcd around that
they were working something richer that quartz
mines.
Small parties Of miners repaired to the spot,
who found them taking out the gold by the
pound OF course the news spread at once,
and general rush was Immediately made to
take up claims on and around the hill.
The soil Of this hill, we are informed, consists
of quartz and slate, so much decomposed as %
crurnble in the hand like Stacked lime, contain
iny an astonishing amount of gold.
Our informant, for instance, states that the
| few Mexicans who first worked It believed
to have taken out $3.50 ,00) before the Ameri-
cans discovered it. Samples Of this auriierous
soil are now in the city, said to contain 20 pei
cent. Of geld 80 ..
| The gold is frequently found connected with
! and adhering 10 composed scales of slate, a for
nation in which we have seen few accounts o
its ever before having been found in this coun.
try, although very common in Russia.
The Mcxicans have already sunk their holes
| in the spot upon which they first pitched, to the
dep'h of twelve feet and the yield is getting
richer as they dccend.
The gold bearing soil lis evidently very deep
a circumstance that leads to the belief that the
new discoveries are what are termed cavot.o
| dgcings
The whole hill and in fact several hill:
around are taken up. A town of some three
hundred tents and houses has sprung up in
few days.
The vein or lead was discovered on the fauril
of this mouth, and there must be from two t.
three thousand persons on the ground at lh
| time.
lump of gold weighing sixty mine and
half ounces was taken out of Woods Creek
! last week.
i BEAR VALLEY DiGGINGs.-One batter foil o
the earth has yielded, after washing, sedimen
Of eighteen ounces of fine gold powder. 4
small sack, in which the earth is Transported
from the cavtre hole to the stream, and contain
ing from 70 to 81 pounds, has yielded from
1890 to $4,000. Three pounds of the eart
weighed, gave one and half pounds of gold
= Asa matter IF course, the news Of the dis
covcrv of these rich depnsites has spread k
wildfire through the mines, and produced al
intense excitement and perfect stampede from
the old and worn-out p!accrs. Our nforman
states, by way Of illustration, that if buckle
4 appears as if covered with spanglcs of gold.

TnE.WoNDEsruL RESOURCES OF CAIIror.
NIA.--We find in looking over the fills Of Cal
ifornia papers, that some new and hitherto
undevelnpe! resources are constantly teinp
brought to light in that wonderful country. A,
first, says the .1lta Ca'ifornia, the productions
Of that country were hides, then came gold,
and although she was very valuable country
owing 10 her gold mines, yet her soIl was Of
couse poor and unproduct:ve because Of its
mineral character. Bot grandnally we find that
grapes, rich fruits, and huge and most delicious
vegetables are the almost spontaneous produ.
tons of her miserable soil little later VIC
hear of elegant marble ledscs, of granite omar
ries, OF quicksilver mines, of coal mines We
listen among the mountains and we hear hun
dred waterfalls, waiting merely farthe miI,to
turn out with untold magic the richest labrics
On examination some say that tie soil of
large portion of the State and cHnrate also are
admirably adapted to the growth of the very
! finest of cotton From ice and granite, to
wines and oranges: from the Indian scarcely
removed from The brute, to tho most re- fined ana
delca'ely constituted mind; from the canoe TO
the steam palace, whose various saloons are
soft with velvet; they are all found in this
ll-understood and ill-apprecated California of
ours sE99 sfIaas
The very last production, however, is found
to be nntmegs, which are found growing very
finely on the hills of that State The Sacra-
lnento papers SAYS that astonshingly fine spcci-
mems of nutmeg have been discovered Grow.

growing las. summer. What profound opin-

si.,rt time since, commented severely upon the
ac, of cutting timber upon the public lands.-
And we are also rejoio cd to find that the editor
of that sheet, his almost, if not 1lite, adopted
our view of the subject. This argues wt.l ior

we ever censured the IN for acting in obedience
to their instructions. 1t is their solemn duty
| to so act, and we commend them ficient and

at the fountain head, FOR issuing instructions,

the origin of the difficulty is in the law itself,
and we hold that ii lies with these who construe

who in.cst the Wes'crn country, we dislike to
see a law exercised with unrestricted severity
upon the quiet and in lus .rious settlers who are
here to improve, enrich, and beautlfy the conn-
i try When such men are dragged from the in

for taking few sticks of Uncle Sans timber
we cannot but realize, that the old gentleman is

always been regarded as a very nice old gentle
