SUPPLY OF GUANO.

An immense deposit Of gnano has been
discovered in the Indian Ocean, between
Mauritius and Calcutta. 1t has been an
alyzed by Professor ANDERsos, Of Glasgow
and is now also in the hands Of Professor
WAY, of London, for analysis. Four kinds
OF it havebecn brought to England, two OF
which are of superior quality, resembling the
guano Of Saldana Bay; the other two are com
paratively inferior.
"Ths discoyerer relates that being be-
calmed of an island he sent his boats ashore
for water. They returned without it, but
told what they had found. The captain visit
ed himself, and, having made several voyages
FOR guano to Ichaboe, he at once pronounced
the substance with which the island is cover
ed to be guano. Having trayerscd the island
in various directions, he found guano every
where; its greatest depth, however, is in the
caverns and crelices Of the rock. He secur-
ed samples and brought them home. Tue
samples having been taken from near the
surface, the quality is supposed to be inferior
to what may be found beneath, as it is njur-
eS by the action of the weather. The de-
posite is reported to be immense, the island
being twenty miles long by seven broad, and
thus forty times the size OF lChaboe. There
are no strong ocean currents near the island,
and it is said that convenient landing stages
can be erected with great facility in the creeks
and bays along its coasts. Steps are being
taken to make the guano available to the
British farmer"

California.

The correspondent of the Saint Louis In
telligencer, writes as follows in regard to many
of the omigrants to California:
"There are by all odds, more people here
than in any other country who have no definite
plans, occupation, hopes or prospects, and
who, nevertheless, in delightful visions, that
some way or another, "somethng will shortly
turn up," by which they are to become mil
lion aires. | need scarcely say, that with such
people nothing ever does "turn uP," and after
their coats have become thread bare, and their
hats "seedy, and their friends have got tired
lending them money, they return home, ours
ing California as humbug, and feeling that
they have been decidedly ill-used, because a
hundred or two thousands didnct mysteriously
drop into their pockets. confess that there
is a good deal to encourage this feeling, in the
fact that some of the largest incomes in the
United States are now enjoycl by gentlemen
of San Francisco, who four years ago, were
far from being rich. 1t is said that the anuu-
al income Of Samuel Brannon, Esd, is over
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, whilst
that of J. l. Folsom, w. d. NJ. Howard, &
several others, is but little, ifany less. These
large estates have been ma lie in the last three
or four years, by the rapid rise of real estate
in and about San Francisco. In IS47--S
lots were purchased here for $Sl5 and $50
which are now worth over 100000, On the
chief business streets, in favorable locations
ground is worth from $500 to $1,000 per from
| foot, exclusive of the improvements"

lie was long member Of the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Congregation Of
Upper Wheeling. When a congregation
Of the same connection was formed in St.

10 it, and 20 long as his hearing served him
he was punc'uol in attending public worship,
thinking little ufthc privations which his
infrmites unayoidsbly caused, provided he

privilege. a iow doys before his death he
sat among his immediate descendants, and

lie urged at some length the uncons;tu-
tonulity of the fugitive slave law. This law
he was very sure was n violation of that in
strument. Well, we suppose that no one
will doubt that Judge Mclean is as strong an
anti-slavcry man as Mr.. Chase; and yet the
Judge decides that it is constitutional. Its
crpediency is another question. Who are we
to believe--Judge Mclean, sworn officer Of
the United States, or Mr.. Chase, Il dcma-
gogue candidate for United States Senator!
lie seemed to admit that the old line DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor might be c.
lected but that the whig candidate had no
chance at all; and as the wings had in years
gone by urged the free soiers not to throw
away their votes, nov he urged the wings, on
the same principle, to vote for Mr.. Lewis If
there is any thing in the argument it would
be for the wings to vote for Mr.. Medll, as it
would certainly be throwing away their votes
to give them for Mr.. Lewis. We, however,
suppose that each party will vote for their
own men, without respect to the desires of
candidates, whether they wish to be United
States Senator or Governor of the State.
So far as the principles of that party on the
subject Of slavery are concerned, they are
such as are held by the great mass of all par
ties in the free States. They are such as ,oe
hold, and have uniformly expressed. But
their manner of attempting to give efficiency
to those principles, we believe to be defective
and injurious, and have failed, and will fail to
accomplish what is proposed by them. On
this ground we have opposed the party--on
this ground we expect to oppose it, while we
can hold pen or utter our thoughts. Upon
this subject we have been so much, and SO
frequently misrepresented, that it has ceased
to annoy US, even when falsely charged in a
public meeting. We however hold The falsi-
fer beneath contempt.
We have not heard of one single individual
who changed sentiments in consequence Of
the meeting.

The Abolition Meeting

On Wednesday was respectable in numbers
probably it reached two hundred, including
Wings, Democrats, free soilers, men, women
and children. They nominated Charles
Warfeld of Harrison County for Senator, g.
James H. Drennen of Belmont, for Board of
Equalization Mr.. Lewis first addressed the
meeting. He is a very fair Stump Orator,
and gave an old fashioned lecture on abolition
and few excellent remarks on the subject of
general education. He seemed disposed TO
be fair in his statements, and in the general
was so. He however made one statement
which every reader of the Chronicle knows
is not true. That statement was, that there
was not a Wing or Democrat paper in the
State that would let their readers know what
the free democracy really proposed to do.
Now what they propose to do is certainaly to
{ be found in their platforms. These platforms
we have given to our readers, National, State
! and county, for which we have never charged
! them one cent, and yet, with perhaps six
honorable exceptions, they have meanly and
sneakingly borrowed the Chronicle to read
their own platforms and proceedings. We
make no complaint of this, for we want nj
subscriptions but such as are freely given
But the injustice of the charge, is too NANTES
for comment.
I Mr.. Lewis seemed to treat the danger o
: idisunion with great contempt and quoted al
l.1necdote proposing to put ou: the job of sav
, ling the Union to the lowest bidder. After
wards he became quite eloquent over the ne
lcessity of saving The country We could no
help thinking that it might be well to pu
What Job out to the lowest bidder.
Mr.. Chase is poorer orator, though per
I haps the greater statesman of the two. H
charged that there was no difference on an
+, single point between the Baltimore platform
of the Wings and Democrats-and this to
? in the face of the manifest difference on tn
subject of the tariff, and the clause in I'll
J Wing platform providing for FURTHE
LEGISLATION on the compromise mea
ures, when time and experience proved tn
such legislation was necessary! Such stat
ments were not calculated to give the aud
ence very high opinion of his love of tru
and vcracity.
