Californians all, male and female, VIII,
contest hither to better thy fortunes
thou art commanded to pay especial at
tehtion to this Decree. Thou-a Ger
tain class-journeyedl hither to repair
thy ruined circumstances, to pay off ole
debts which have hung like heavy
| weight over the horizon of thy futur.
happiness. Thou have come hither, will
ing to brave the storms and tempests
both of NATURES warning elements ane
also the "party feuds" and "politica
gusts that often lend violent commo-
ton to this golden land. Thou, 0 Pol
itician, who, in thy Atlantic home, dids1
crave Office, and thy ambitious desires
were not gratifed--tbou who labored SC
energetically for the good of the people
(and thyself too thou who vert beat
en- by thy political opponent, thou COM
est hither to retrieve thy fortunes, to
build up thy high minded hopes, to court
Dame Fortunes smiles once more, and
to raise up unto thyself great name
But beware, thou lofty aspirant of fame
there are those here who art long before
thee, who have their wires laid, and now
have wealth on their side. Take heed;
be wise; do thou go to one Bryant and
and there select pick, pan and shovel,
and sojourn for while in the noun
tains, for there thou wilt have an equal
chance among thy fellow laborers. And
thou; 0 Spectator, from Gotham,
thinkest thou that in California, even in
San Francisco, thou canst succeed, and
have built up thy broken fortunes by
thy schemes and thy small capital:-
Thou too, beware, for in San Francisco
there are spectators congregated from,
all countries, even of the shrewdest
kind, and have studied and practiced
all manner of devices. Take heed
therefore; and invest thy small capital in
miners supplies, and fee to the noun
tains, or to some inland village, and
there be content with health, good cold
water, and fair profits.
And thou, pilgrims to the Eureka
State. tarry not at the Bay, but pierce
the Northern wilds and the mountain
scenery; rush for pure air, health, wealth,
and plenty of labor. Despair not in the
hour of thy Affections, but brave the
storm manfully and soon thou art safe.
And thou fair maidcns, daughters of
Eve, who hast bravcd the hardships and
dangers of a voyage to our golden shores,
and thou heroines and pioneer mothers,
we greet the--thrice welcome are We ALL
Thou whom in memory were cherished
thou whom we so much wished for,
who art so highly priced and cherished
in every land-thou art indeed here
And thou aged, though single maidens,
thou art here too; nor wilt thou remain
in single blessedncss long, for thou wilt
not meet with so many fair competitors
to bear away the prizes from you, but
will soon be heard exclaimiDg, Eureka!
Eur eka!
And now, each and every one. take
heed of this my Decree, and all of ye,
my Disciples, shall say at the last-We
have followed thy precepts and verify,
we have found cur reward.

DESTRUCTION OF LETTERS AT WASH
1NGroN.-On Wednesday last seven
hundred bushels, or about one million,
of dead letters were destroyed, in accor-
dance with the usage of the Post Office
Department. They were carted to
Monument Square, and spread over a
line Of two or three hundred feet, when
the match was applied. The entire
mass Of combustible material was soon
in blaze, and several hours elapsed te-
fore the conaagration was completed;
the official attendants meanwhile raking
the burning fragments to facilitate op-
erations. The atmosphere for thou
sands of feet around was filled with char
red fragments. A large number Of per-
sons witnessed the proceedings with
much interest. - Washington Republic

MISCELLANY.

Written FIR the Golden Era
MINERS TEN COMMANDMENTS.
HEw NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. A PREAM-
BLE, BYLAWS AND DECREE.
By Cadee Orion.
Away "down east" there dwelt a man,
E'cn over in the State of Maine,
Who had enough of tall pine trees
himself and wife to well maintain.
But years rolled by and children came
Around the little FIRE side,
And claimed right to eat and drink,
Nor could such wants well be denied.
The pine tree grew and children too
Though in their manner far apart:
The trees grew thin the children thick
And thus from Maine were doomed t
part.
ssOid Zenas" to his wife did say
"Iu move you all to Michigan,
