The article referred to, as above stated
was communication Of the Telegraph, and
yet the Erpress embraces the opportunity of
paying us the following compliment: 1.-The
Telegraph is too much for US, we shall never
venture to measure lances with an opponent
at once so powerful and so skillful" Believ-
ing him to he sincere, we feel much obliged
for his frankness and candor. ''The Railroad
speculatiOns," to which he has kindly allud-
ed, are probably those entered into between
this and Sacramento. But horrible to relate.
in those remarks we have detected most dam
gerOuS symptoms. AS we had expected, this
information concerning our Railroad has
"went deeply to heart with the editor, but

parently produced mental arrangement, and
is developing Itself in sickly smiles, accom-
panied with silly expressions, such as fun

MINING NEWS.

PIKE FLAT AGAN.-Several claims on this
Flat during the last week, yielded on an av-
erage per hand over a hundred dollars per
day.
New QUARTZ LEAD ON New YORK HILL
This lead has recently been prospeeted, and
number Of tons, being the products Of the
first opening has been crushed, and was
found to yield near thirty dollars per ton.-
The fortunate discoTerers are entertaining
high hopes Of the richness, permanency and
extent of this lead.
GRASS VALLEY SLIDE.-Messrs. Bosworth
Co., with three hands, in three days work
ing, during the last week. have washed out
nine hundred and twenty-five dollars in gold
dust. Their claim which is quite extensive.
bids fair of making handsome yield for
them.
GOLD HILL Coon last Monday we hap
pened in at the large and splendid Quartz
Mill belonging to the above mentioned COM
pany. At the time, they were making an ex-
pertinent trial of its capacities for quartz
crushing, and though the machinery was far
superior to that of any other of the kind that
we have ever seen, yet we will confess to
little surprise in witnessing the great rapidi-
ty, in connection with the apparent ease and
force with which this huge gormandiser turn
ed out the pulverized quartz. For the first
experiment, in twelve minutes they crushed
one and half tons of the hardest flint quartz
In the second experiment, in twenty minutes
they turned off two tons of the finest pulver-
lied quartz, notwithstanding at the time of
the second experiment they had but little
over half a head of steam on the engine. We
look upon the success of this mill as fair
test of Quartz Mining in California under
present expenses of labor, &c.

would-be gentlemen by the name of Taylor
have been teaching writing school in Grass
Valley and Nevada, within the last two or
three weeks. In the mean time they have
been contracting debts by boarding and 9th
erwise, to the amount as we have been in
formed, of several hundred dollars, promis-
ing payment as soon as they received sub
scription money for heir instructions in wri-
ting. But 10! when this was received, they
balanced their accounts by taking a hasty
leave of absence, without giving any infor-
nation Of their intended departure A few
days previous to their leaving. however, they
had made an engagement with number of
young men in Grass Valley for a certain num-
Der of writing lessons, and received their
money for the same Of course they did not
fill their engagement, although they left the
a0riting room so that by paying rents, &C.,
the young men could continue their lessons
We understand these men intend paying a
professional visit to the different portions of
California, after which they intend going to
Oregon. From the manner in which they
conducted themselves while here, we believe
them to be most consummate rascals, and
would forewarn all honest men from giving
any credence to their representations in any
way whatever.

CADETS OF TEMPERANCE.-We are pleased
to give notice of the organization of Sec
tion of Cadets of Temperance in Grass Val
ley. 1t is perhaps of even greater impor-
tance than the organization of the Sons,
though we are far from depreciating the mer-
it's of either. But above all we would say to
parents, train up your children in conrse of
virtue.
Separate and apart from religious consid-
Grafton, it was the custom of our ancient law
givers and philosophers. as a national policy
to instruct their children after the most strict
and rigid forms Of morality, and it was not
until they had given themselves up to volup-
tuous luxuries and bacchanalian revelries,
that they lost their nationality as people
1t is the natural disposition of humanity to
hate restrictions, though at heart they will
acknowledge their necessity in the correct or
ganization of society. ghen if this be the
natural tendency of our nature, how al i'm
portant it is to our vel being as a people,
that we aid one af1Urlal il tie ss4'pTesaion Of
this rebellious spirit; and bow shall @e ac-
complsh it unless through social orgaaiza-
ton?
A casual observer Of the present state of
affairs in California, cannot but see and re-
cognize the looseness of character INDUCED
in generally among US, and why is it? Most
assuredly it is from want Of corset moral
and religious influences. Then If such dis
sipation prevails among those who have been
raised up under the guardian care Of Chris
tian parents, what may we expect from chill
dren raised up among us, nnrestrained either
by precept or example let loose to run
among our brothels Of corruption, inhaling
within their young and tender consciences
the loathsome and poisonous atmosphere of a
shameless criminality?
Let us bear in mind that the future pros
perity of our country depends upon proper
cultivation in training the minds of our
youth. IF they grow up reckless in point of
morality and virtue, we may expect a cor
rupt and profigate government-we may
hope in vain for the future prosperity of our
country. Subjects will be subjects only by
force, and rulers will be ambitious only in
their personal power and aggrandisement.
Let us constantly bear in mind the old max
i'm
"'Tis education moulds the common mind
just as the twig is bent the trees inclined"
If we wish to be great people, we must
be avirtuous people. 1t is this and this alone
which has thus far distinguished the United
States from other nations, and won for her
the enviable name of "Model Republic" This
then being the ennobling principle" let US
cherish it, and not only among ourselves, but
more especially let us cultivate it in the
minds and character of our children.

SALEM, COLUMBIANA CO., OHIO, MAY 7, 1853.

Apparently the interests of truth and hu-
manity require that those meetings he held
at the earliest period practicable. Should l
not meet with YOU, in convention, at the
time proposed, my absence will not, there
fore, he for the want of a common interest in
the cause ofhumon liberty.
trust that when your voices shnll elo-
quen,ly and effectively plead the cause of the
poor slave, and graphically depict the SER
Whence of the North and wretchedness OF
the South, my voice, feebly il may be, shall
be rnised in the midst Of the evil you so
much deplore.
BY speaking thus, however, ! do not in
tend to disparoge in the least, your labors in
the free States. No under God, believe The
sulpaiion Of This nation must primarily come
from The Free North. And that il those who
have the blessings of liberty aud are privile-
ged to see the evils aud horrors of slavery,
shall fail to rouse the North TO consistent,
vigorous, and perseyering action, then our
country is lost Lost TO those blessings OF
liberty, pence and prosperity which the
friendsof humanity and righteousness so de-
voutly pray for. That slavery will not live
always, | of course believe. Like other
great sins, il will eventually work out its own
destruction. But if il shall not he abolished
by peaceful means, moral, social, political,
then il will die as il often has done, amid the
crash of arms, and the shreks of the dying,
and our nations sun will set in sea ofblood.
May God Almighty avert the calamity.
repeat it, salvation under God must come
from the North. Those who are in darkness,
blinded by prejudice, falsehood, and sup
posed interest las is the condition OF many
in the South) see not their error and danger.
Then, as in the spiritual aud physical
world, life only can beget life, SO those who
have light must give light.
There are, il is true, few spots in the
South fom which light and hope feebly
radiate but these few spots have been
lighted and sustained chiefly by the North.
The North then must be reused to q
Chrst-like devotion to the interests Of 9TH
ers, to gencrous, vigorous, aud persevering
action.
Conventions, protracted Mass Conventions
will be found powerful means for the nc
compishment of this end. These conven.
tions will be valuable, not only for the truth
and argument evolved and spread before the
minds of the people, hut also for that all pow
erful and lawful enthusiasm inspired by the
voice aud countenunce of the living speaker
aud that courage and strength impaired by
the presence of the multitude.

last month was, in consequences of my ab-
sence from home, unanswered till now.
Ia your letter, in addition to the printed
circular, you say | am "especially invited"

to he held on the 10Th proximo, in Cincin-
natl.
For this special honor, accept my grateful
acknowledgements. Let me ever he remem-
bered 10y the friends of Human Justice, rather
than be honored io,h place, by the enemies
OF the Right.
If my engagements will allow, shall GER
tninly will be with you-though | cannot
now decide.
You say w. l.. Garrison will be present
wish TO say n word of that man. As n
man, he stands first among living men, be-
cnuse he has laborcd most OF all in that cause
which IS of most worth to mankind. Ii is
not for me to say whether, with equal firm
ness and sensiblity to the right, he might or
might not have done more service in tie
great cause. II is enough that with whatever
talent was loaned him by Deity, with that he
has zenlously at all hazards of all things
contended for the highest interests of men,
The day for his appreciation has not come !!
There is, however, one saying Of his tradu-
GERS, and the traducers of. those who act with
him, which will notice-That "they have
set back the cause OF emancipation by agi-
talion." Nothing is more false. The cause
of emancipation advances only with agi-
alton. Let that cease, and Despotism is
complete. The shareholders have Just as
much intention Of yielding up their slaves,
as the most of the kings of the earth have OF
laying down, for the benefit of the people,
their sceptres! How long will, without ag-
itation, kingdoms last
Again, they say the chains of the slave are
tighIened by the fierceness of discussion. BE
il so. When a chain gets very tight, it may
perhaps break
Agitation, then, ought not to cease. "Un-
Gle Tom" proves that there is yet vitality in
il! Very we'll written, they say, but then it is
an exaggeration of the evils of the " peculiar
institution" No human ingenuity can color
that which allows TO be done all that the hu-
man heart can conceive of Diabolism! For
one case of "Legreeism," I'll show you q
dozen of infinitely exceeding horror But
enough. The thing is automatic. Delenda
est Carthage! am very truly,
Your obt serv't,

poor-I am too old. Born 23rd August, 1873.
Crippled by n fall from my horse benunbed

sitions in Convention. | am not only will

often require those who speak 10 me 10 spell
the words, can't distinguish the articulation
without il. X. B. ID.
MIR Garrison then said, al hold in my hand
a series of resolutions, which | will read.-
The five first with the concurrence of the
Business Committee, but the two last report
on my own responsibility:
Resolved, That the nearest duty is the first
duty to be faithfully and energetically per-
formed by abolitionists--that before expend-
ing the force of their denuncations upon the
slaveholding South, they are bound 10 graPple
with whatever in legislation or public senti-
ment manilests a proscriptiye and tyranous
sphit against the colored man in the State
where they live and to make its suppression
their constant aud immediate concern.
Resolved, Therefore that the political dis
franchisement of the colored citizens Of Ohio,
being most unjust and proscriptve act and
dark stain upon the escutcheon OF the State,
and furnishing as it does, weapon 10 the
stakeholder to strike down the rising spirit OF
emancipation, should be vigorously denounc-
ed and held up to popular condemnation until
il ceases TO exist
Resolved, That anti-slayery is not simply
an issue with the fugitive slave law, or oppo-
sition TO slavery in the District Of Columbia
and the Territories, or resistance to the fur
Iher extension of chattel seryitude, or giving
succor or shelter to the fugitive slave, or con-
trbutiDg occasionally TO the funds of our
movement; but il is liie-giving and a life
embracing principle, demanding inhexibly
and uncompromisiDgy the immediate aud
