The ARIsrocRAsY OF MONEY AND THE No
BILIrY OF LEARNING.-The following just
reflections occur in an address recently de-
livered by Hiram Ketchum, Esq, on the
occasion of the death Of Chief Justice Jones:
Sir there are now living in Europe, two
very distinguished men, Batons, both very
eminent in their line, both known to the
whole civilized world; ore in Baron R0ths-
child, and the other Baron Humboldt; one
distinguished for the accumulation otweaith,
the other for the accumulation oil knowl-
edge. What are the possessions of the
philosopher! Why, sir, heard q gentle
man whom have seen this afternoon, a
distinguished member of this community,
say, that, on u recent visit to Europe, he
paid his respects to that distinguished phi
losopher, and was admitted to an audience.
he found him, at the age of eighty-four
wears fresh and vigorous, in small room,
nicely snnded, with large deal table un-
covered in the midst of that room, contain
ing his books and writing apparatus. Ad-
Joining this was small bed room, in which
he slept. Here this eminent philosopher
received visitor from the United States
He conyersed with him; he spoke OF his
works. "My works." said he, "you Will
find in the adjoining library, but lam too
poor to own copy Of them. Ihave not the
means to buy full copy OF my own works"
Now, sir, which of the Barons do you
think,in this age Of gold, receives the great
est amount of the homage of the human
race? speak not Of the homage OF intel
ligent men, but of the honor paid by the
masses. Let them both come here and
pass through our. streets, and see to which
of them the hat of the multitude will be
DOTTED with the most cheerfuness and alac-

,rHr wAA in cHiplAfis Bar6ariies,--
The adsices from China give shocking ac,
counts of the barbarities which are commit
ted at the sacking Of towns and on the
Aetdi Of battle. It is stated that in one en-
Placement one thousand were killed, be-
sides 4 large number who we're drowned by
being pursued into river; in anOther,seven
thousand were killed;in another, seven hun.
dred were burned to death and killed, only
ninety prisoners having been brought in BY
the victors; but they had the heads OF one
hundred and fifty others. Numerous en-
gagementsz are mentioned where thousands
perished. The Emperor appears to sci sci tne
example of burbarOus cruelty When one
of his officers is defeated he takes his head
off. Every general, therefore, is fighting
for his own head.

man been fairly, justly dealt with by
those who sel6shly-yes, meanly, rob
her, weak as she is, of her natural
rights, to give to the strong and power
full! 1t has been truly said that our
Lord took not the woman from the head
of Adam, that she should rule over him !;
nor from the foot, that she should be
trampled upon-but from his side, that
she should be his equal, support, help,
through life. Bat it seems our law ma
kers infer that she is to be down-trod-
den, from the ungenerous and depressing
nature of their policy toward woman--
helpless wsman. No-not helploss for
she has a mighty friend in her meek and
lewly Savior. And though she was the
first to transgress in Eden, she was the
last at the Cross, and the first at the

others. In order to get the truth cut Of
them when giving evidence, the police

to the Chinese, as the oath is considered
such q sacred affair tha. all should not

and gatherings had been had about it,
until one A.Tsoh (sneeEe reader and yea

forthwith and pull the offending doeu-

The miners in our vicinity are once
more at work, and we trust ere many
weeks our absent residents will return
and our town assume its former life and
activity.
New gold discoveries have recently
been made near Table Rock, in Oregon.
There are now large number Of mi-
ners engaged in working them.
Charles F. MatthiessoR, one Of our
merchants, finding it impossible to get
pack mules ints town, has had, for the
last eight or ten days, train of Indians
engaged in "backing'' provisions from
Negro Tent and Sleighville House. He
has now q plentiful supply on hand
Such perseverance will find its reward.
During the few pleasant days of the
present week, many miners have como
in packed with -four, butter, snions, &C.,
which they have sold at sixty 10 seven
ty-fve cents per pound. We also me-
tee the arrival Of some ten head of beef
cattle. Really, times are locking up!
The lovers of fishing have had ample
opportunity to crafty themselves during
the last few days, for the trout greedily
seize everything thrown to them in tho
shape Of meat.
MIR. Couch, q member Of the Aerial
Company, was found frozen in the snow
on Thursday, tho 4th, some three hum
dred yards from his cabin, which is sit.
uated ON the South Fork, twenty miles
above DownieviIle. His partner, MIR.
McMillen, is thought to be still in their
cabin, cow covered with mountain of
Snow
Within the past week we have had
three or four days pleasant weather, and
were in hopes the storm had ceased.-
Yesterday we had q heavy fall of rain,
and to-day the sun remains in his vim
ter quarters, and has screened himself
with thick veil Of falling snow.
