EDUcATIoN-Every boy should have hi,
head. bis heart and his hand educated. Let thi,
truth never be forgotten. BY the proper ed
ucation of the head, be will be taught what
is good and what is evil. what is wise and
what is foolish. what is right and what is
wrong.
BY the proper education Of the heart he
will be taught to love what good. wise. and
right. and to bare what is evil, foolish and
wrong, And by proper education of the
lhsnd He viii be enabled to supply his wants
10 add his comforts aud TO assist those arou6d
him.
The highest objects Of good education
are to reverence and obey God, and to love
and serve mankind. Everything that helps
US attaining these objects is of great value,
and everything that hinders US is compara-
lively worthless When wisdom reigns the
head and love 10 the heart, the man is ever
ready to do good; order and peace smiles
around and sin and sorrow are almost un-
known.

Foreign News.

Since our last there have yean several
arrivals from Europe, bringing important
and highly interesting news in regard to
the war between Turkey and Russia.
The contcnding parties have hal sege.
raj contests in which the TURKS have been
the victors. The only reliable slalemen,
of any rcpuIse to tie Turks was That they
were compelled to eyacua'e the Island IN
front Of The strong Russian position OF
Gurgcro. \ la,er dispatch says they
have relaken it.
The position Of affairs may be thus
summed up: The Turks have beaten
lhe Russians in Asia--the Turkish !cl
wing in Europe has beaten the Russian
right wing, comprising their prinuPa.
force. The Turkish centre has whipped
5000 Russians at Tortukai, and is now
pressing upon Bucharest.
The efforts Of dipIomati,ts to end thc
difficulties were now considered hopeless
until after a decisive battle.
France has determined to assist the
Sultan and Austria will remain neutral.
England is still undecided.

From California.

There have been two arrivals from Cal
ifornia since our last, bringing large
number 0: passengers and a large AMOUNT
of gold, with news 10 the lst of Nov.
The news from all parts o. the State is
very interesting. The mining intelligence
from all SECTIONS Of the State is very en-
couraging. Mining Water Companies
have rapidly increased in all quarters; mil
lions Of dollars have been invested in
these works, and the water is conveyed
through the mines in every direction. A
contention Of the companies has been re-
Gently held, and memorials are now N
circulation, praying Congress for certain
privileges not at present enjoyed. IN
stances of individual success are as nu-
merous as at any previous period. On
one part OF the San Joaquin claims are
paying from SIS to SI70 per day. Wages
are good ana Iaborers in demand at SO
per month and found.
The official ma oriiy of Bigler for Gov
elnor is 1856, while that of Purdy for
Lieut.. Governor is l,499. Bigler runs
about 10000 votes behind the ticket
The total vote Of the State was 77,499.
There were two steamboats, blown up
on the river between San Francisco and
STOCKTON, on the same night accompanied
with the loss of several lives--the Ameri-
car Eagle and the Stockton. The acct
dents are attributed TO imperlecions in
the boilers.
Last week, the St. Francis Hotel, in
San Francisco, was destroyed by fire,
and one unfortunate individual was con-
sumed. Owing to the almost supcrhu-
man exerlons of the fremen, no other
building was injured, although the ST.
Francis was surrounded by combustbIe
tenements.
