- The Albany Knickerbocker, under

an cytiittef severity even years they
liave been. Sevcnty-seven years ago
the United States was a remote cir.
cumstance; they now compose the Sc
cond commercial nation in the world.
In three quarters ofa century they have
rcvolut onized the whole world, built
up an empire, licked our mother. and
fenced i'll continent. In less time
than it took Mcthuselah to get out Of
his swaddling clothes, NO have made
more canals, tanned moro lightning,
and llarncsscd more steam, and ut q
greater cost in money, than the whole
revenues of the world could have paid
for the day he got out of his time.
In seventy five years VIC have not on
ly changed the politics Of the earth,
but its wearing apparel; cotton shirts
being as much the offspring of the
United States as ballot boxes and De
mocracy, Since the Fourth of July,
l776, the whole world lias been to
school: and what is better, has learned
moro common sense than was taught
in the previous four thousand years.
The problem ofscltgovernment has
been solved, and it's truth made as i'm
mortal as Washington or yellow corn.
Its adoption TO all the wants of the
moro aspiring nation, has been made
most signally manifest. Under its
harmonious working, republic has
grown up in an ordinary lifetime that
would have taken any other system Of
government a thousand years to have
brought about. Yes, in less than it
has taken some green house plants to
arrive at maturity, We have built
nation that has spread itself from
Maine to Mexico, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific; nation that has caught
more whales, licked more Mexicans,
planted more telegraph posts, and owns
more steamboats,, than any nation that
has ever lived or ever will ! i've. For
all this, we again say, thank God, and
praise Thomas Jefferson.

well known establishment, the Bee Hive,

tice bri ght and interesting lad of some
"A or rs years of age, who has been en-
ployed as tender at the table and coun-
ter. His polite and quiet manner had
made him a great favorite. On Sunday
morning he went to the house of Ger
man family living near by, and informed
the lady of the house, with tears in his
eyes, that he was not boy but girl
The lady Immediately took the child with
her to millinery establishment and pro-
cured dress suitable to her sex. Her
story Is, that she came from Germany to
New York with her brothers, and while
living there with them they used her so
Ill she was induced to leave them, and
having desired to come to California, she
concluded that the only proper way fof
her travel so great distance would be in
male attire She did SO, and hes continued
in it to the present time. She has only
been in the country about five months
She is now in the hands of some very
kind friends, who will do all they can

EXCITEMENT AT SoNoRA.-Considera
excitements exists at Sonora owing to the
favorable gold reports from Walkers Riv
CT, on the eastern slope of the Coast
Range. The Sonora Herald learns that
the climate had on the Coast of tie Sier-
re- Nevada, is the same as on this. On
both sides of Walkers River there are
fine wide valleys Of superior land and well
watered. Gold is found between Carson's S
and Walker River, and the tributaries Of
these streams. This mining section has
been prospected to the distance of about
forty miles wide and sixty long, and it is
believed to be at least equal to the mining
section of Tuolumne County. The whole
distance is well-timbered and watered-
Walkers River is about the same size as
the Stanislaus, but has more tributaries.
The country abounds in variety of game
as Antelope, Deer, Mountain
Sheep, Grouse, Pheasant, Hare and small
Ter animals. 1t is far superior, in many
respects to the western slope.
Some forty or fifty men have already
engaged to return with Col. Mclean to
the Walkers River diggings, where some
time past. Others are expected to arrive
from, Shaw's Flat and other surrounding
camps, and we have no doubt that over a
hundred persons will take up their line Of
march for his highly favored region

CURE FOR YELLOW FEyER-The Brit
ish Vice Consul at Cape Bolivar, writing
to Her Majesty's acting Consul General at
Caracas, says an old woman named
Marequita Orhla, has discovered perfect
cure for the black vomit and yellow fever
by means Of which several persons have
been completely cured after q consultation
of doctors had declared that the cases
were quite hopeless, and that the patients
die in few hours. The remedy is the
juice of the powdered leaves of the YER
bena, given in small doses three times a
day, and injections of the same every two
hours, until the bowels are cmpSied. The
verbcna is wild shrub, to be found
growing almost everywhere, and particu-
larly in low, moist ground. All our doe
tors have adopted its use, and now few or
none die of these late fearful diseases
There are two kinds OF it, male and female
the latter is the one that is most used.

VITAL SrArIsrIcs.-The quarterly re-
turns of the birth, marriages and deaths
in England show that during the last tif-
teen months more weddings have taken
place than were ever known to have oc-
Cured before during the same period in
England. This establishes one most sat
isfactory fact-that with the growth of
general prosperity the number of mar
riagcs increase, and that as one declines
the other does also. 94,416 persons
were married during the last quarter of
1852 The number of births registered
during the quarterending March 81, 1858,
was 161, ,508. The deaths during the
same period was 118,251 The number

EXCITEMENT II ATTACK
ON THE County JUDsE.-A correspondent
Of the Republican. writing from Moque-
lumne Hill, under date May 18th. says:
One Of the basest- scenes occurred in
this place to-day, that has ever disgraced
our streets. A man named White, who
resides near Camp seco, armed with
heavy pick handle, called Judge:Eno, (oar
present County Judge into the street, as
if to speak privately with him, and struck
him down at blow. His intentions ros
yet satisfied, he struck the Judge with his
club three. times, and then was arrested
and committed to prison. Great. excite
ment prevailed;va meeting. of the citizens
was called to discuss the propricty Of
hanging him Immediately; as he was in
the hands Of the SEerif,,is wes decided that
he be dealt with just according t.,:laaas.
1t is evident that White intended to kill
Judge Emo, and did all in lis power to
effect his purpose. He says that he med
itated it, and has had his revenge, and
the authorities can do what they please
with him. cannot learn that there was
any reason for the attack other than the
Judge had bcfriended him long time
since, by paying an execution for him, and
was making an effort to recover the mon
ey.
The Judge was wounded severely in.
the head and on his arm which he raised
to receive tie blow, this probably saved
his life. 1t is hoped that he viii recover
soon, although some fcarsEfe entertained
as to tha result. White has been exam
ined before Justice Ball, and committed.

than expected.
