The Election Of Mr. Adams, orer Gen Jack
son, as President Of the United States, by the
House Of Representatires.-The following is a
most graphic sketch and picture Of this memo
rable event in our history. 1t is done to the
very life, and shows the admirable workings of
our well balanced constitutional and republic
can system. In Europe, such a contest and
such result, would have been attended with
tumult, bloodshed, perhaps revolution. But
with US, the majesty Of the constitution and
laws Of a free country, asserted itself over the
will of the people themselves, and peacefully
placed the gltterng prize of the Presidency in
the hands of the minority candidate, over the
victorious General and popular favorite The
moral sublimity, of the spectacle can scarcely
be surpassed-it certainly has no parallel in
ancient or modern history. What American
so dead to patriotism and sense of true glory,
as not to be proud of his country a. Charleston

From the Alto California;
Price of Labor in San Francisco

Price Of Labor in San Francisco.
The prices stated below, have been carefully
collected, and may be depended upon as cor
rect. They are the market prices, or the gene
raj prices, but there are great variations. A
first rate workman may depend upon getting
the wages mentioned, or still higher wages; the
ordinary workman will find it difficult to get
work, and the poor workman will scarcely be
able to support himself by his trade. This is 4
natural consequence of a state of things in
California. Every one wishes to have his work
done well, and to pay an extravagant price ra-
ther than have it done badly; and as everything
is done with great speed, a large number of la
borers are required upon every enterprise, and
when it is finished it may be some time before
of the fact that so many of those that come to
California are disappointed; their expectations
are extravagant; they wish to live in high style,
and to have enough left, in year or two, to
live independently. They are unwilling to live
sparingly, as they did in the States-the wash
erwoman must dress in silk, and the Journey
man mechanic carry a gold watch and chain
The proportion of persons not employed to
those employed in some of the trades, appears
almost redible-when we know the amount
Vi tHo "dSeS' ue eAPidHatoH IT'S III tHiS. lio
boss workman must have his work done well,
and accordingly when he finds a fast and good
workman he pays him very high wages; per-
hapsa dozen strangers may offer to work at
half price, but he cannot afford to be making
experiments; he says simply 81 have no work."
Thus it is that though the market price of
carpenters labor is 81, yet there are many car
penters who cannot get work even at $4.-
Wages are steadily falling, and must continue
to fall, but many years will pass before they
can be on a level with those in the Atlantic
States. No mechanic should come to Cali.
fornia without money, nor should he come to
California with money, unless he is a first rate
workman but if he is'at the head of his profess
sion, he may have as much as he can do, and
get almost his own price. The letters v. S.
mean that work is very scarce for such me-
chanics to which it is affixed. The letter b.
affixed means that boarding accompanies the

the whole of that process by which bad land
is to be converted into good and productive,

in the three following operations ofhusbandry,
viz
l. To carry off all superhuous and stagnant

2 To retrieve, through the medium of ma

exhausted by cropping. ss-- ss
8. To extract all noxious weeds, that the
strength of the manure may be thrown into the

Hints to Mothers.-If you wish to ealtivate
a gossiping, meddling, censorious spirit in
your children, be sure when they come home
from church, a visit, or any other place, where
you do not accompany them, to ply them with
questions concerning what everybody wore,
how everybody looked, and what everybody
said and did; and you find anything in this to
censure always do it in their hearing. You
may rest assured, if you pursue course of this
kind, they will not return to you unladen with
intelligence and rather than it should be unin-
teresting, they will by degrees, learn to embel-
lsh in such a manner as shall not fail to call
forth remarks and expressions of wonder from
you. You will, by this course, render the spir-
it of fcuriosty-which is so early visible in chill
dren, and which, if rightfully directed, may be
made the instrument of enriching and enlarging
their minds-a vehicle of mischief, which shall
serve only to narrow them.

uA curious breed of spiders inhabits the
Palace of Hampton Court They are called
Cardinals" probably in honor Of Cardinal
Woolsey. They are an inch in length and as
thick as mans finger. In running across the
carpets in the evening, they hrve been some-
times mistaken for mice. These curious spi.
ders are peculiar to Hampton Court.
