81 have just learned from source that is
entitled to the highest credit, that the United
States Government had issued, some weeks
ago, instructions to its Minister at the Court
of S.. Petersburg, to offer to mediate in the
affairs between Russia and Turkey. 1t is said
that the British public are indebted for this
important information to the imprudence of
Hon. Mr. Soule. This may possibly have had
its effect in suspending so long the terrors of

The SEASON AND WEArHER.-The
last days of Autumn are ended. In the
heat of their youth they expired, and
left us with warm recollection of their
beauties and pleasures. The week
which witnessed the death of Autumn.
and beheld the birth of winter, saw also
a magnificent weeping Of the heavens,
and the glorious passing away of those
tears before the glad smile that broke
forth at the coming into life of no less
cherished daughter. The first of this
month was day Of transcendent beau
ty. The sky was transparently clear
and brilliant, and all nature appeared
terminated by the thorough drenching
that it had experienced. The hardy
delivers in the gulches sent forth their
praises Of thankfulness, for their pecu-
liar wants have been bountifully suppli-
ed, while the man Of business and even
the drone, saw in the auspicous opening
ofwinter, a glorious harbinger Of 'bet-
ter times coming" So mote it be.
Columbia gazette., 1853-12-03

VERY NAUGHrY.-The Ledger and
the Transcript at San Francisco are al
loggerheads about the quantity and
quality of their Democracy. The quar-
rel has ran into personalities, which
sound discretion and good judgment
should exclude, for they not only ex-
pose their most vulnerable points, but
engender a feeling of distrust with those
who are able and willing to support par
ty organs. Our leviathian cotempora-
les should know that the world is large
enough for both, no matter how largely
extraordinary may be their pretensions
When our self constituted music-teach-
ers at the Bay grind out unmelihuous
notes, it is but proper that we choristers
Of the mountains should object to the
symphony. We dislike the quarrel.

where all good miners do congregate to
discuss such questions as Immediately
effect their own welfare and the interests
of cur great and glorious State; (thc
Union is considered safe. The miners
have recently passed laws to protect
themselves against the encroachments
Of certain class of community, known
by the cognomen of Jumpers" Sew

miners, and others by Justices Of the
Peace, and in every instance the mining
laws have been sustained a great ma

recsntly been opened, but am not sut:-
hciently we'll posted up to tell you with
what success. A pretty good supply of
water has been furnished through Gala

Two ':Blunderbuses were DESTROYED
yesterday. One was either broken or
6adly tent orer womans back, while
the other, when being fired off, busted,
shattering the mans arm severely. A
pugl!istic encounter occurred a few
days since, between two of the ''softer
sex" of our camp; they fought fifteen
rounds--dOtA whipped. AS soon as the
old sores are properly healed the fight
will be renewed, and full report given.
Wishing you all kinds of luck in
your new undertaking, as proprietors
and editors Of the Gazette, I remain,
Yours, COSMOPOLIrE.
