An AvOWed Thief.

"Our newspaper made its appearance last
week. and is very creditable sheet; mechani-
cally. But would here caution all who have
stock Lying around loose to be on the lookout
for suspicious looking horseman" has been
seen lurking in the rear of the capital, looking
very much as if he wanted to steal something
see greaser on horseback in vignette of Benecia
Vedctte--or at least list as look when want
to steal something Wilkins. Jr.
The stupid and contemplate Benecia cores
pondent of the Nevada Young America, who
wrote the above has been seen prowling about
the State Capitol not as suspicious looking
horseman, but as an unmistakablc assman, look
ing then, fist as if he wanted to steal something,
as he sometimes does even according to his own
confession, and no doubt olraV does, if the
truth was known. This anonymous and llite-
rate scribbler whether, "lying around loose" or
lying around tight, had better hereafter as here
tofore, pursue his predatory excursions en-
masque and remain perfectly incognitG; other
wise he will feel and that most forcibly not only
the intellectual but the physical influence and
superiority of the Fedette. His gross illusions
to the young ladies and the Trustees of the Fe-
male Seminary at this place, in another part OF
his communication, are wholly unworthy OF
notice.-Vedette
Now that have said all can about Benecia
want to say few words commendatory and
condemnatory of the conduct of Young America
AS matter of course you were received with
favor by every one, your praises were in the
mouth of all, but was grieved to see you take
notice of q scurrilous sheet put forth in Nevada
called the Journal" Why did you not "con-
slider the source" as the man said when the
Jackass kicked him, and take no notice of this

The ROShhaSkanaR.

Start not, gentle reader, at the above caption
It is a Hebrew word sgnifying the beginning of
the year We attended by invitation the cere-
MONIES of the Israelites at the Masonic Hall on
Tuesday last, which were commemorative of
this ara. The Jews have done like other peo-
pie and denominations in beginning their chron-
ology simultaneously with the first establish
ment Of their creed. The Greeks, whose reli-
gion dawned with their public life, reckoned
from the first Olympiad as the first manifesto
tion of Greek national spirit. The Romans
counted from the erection of Rome. The Mo-
hamrnedans have fixed the Hegira or flight of
Mohamet. and PRONUNCIATION of the new religion,
as their starting point. The Christians date
from the birth Of Christ, and the Jews from the
creation of the world. They have just ceebra-
ted the New Year, 5Gl4, according to biblical
or Talmudical calculation.
In speaking of the commencement OF the
Jewish year it will be kept in mind that ftheir
religious year commences now their calendar
year begins with the month Nisan or April
The celebration Of the new year by the Jews
has quite o different meaning from that of the
Christians. Their prayers at that day are part
ly retrospective to the year past, and exhorta-
tive for the new year. According to the Or
thodox belief of the Jews this is the time Of
reckoning, when their acts are compared Hith
the moral and biblical law, and only sincere re-
pentance is thrown into the balance against
their sins. Till the day of atonement 9th
inst,) there is time to repent, and then 1.-the
most solemn judgment of the Lord will be Civ
en-. But repentance, prayer and good deeds
viii turn off his wrath"
The day of atonenIent of the Jews, called al
so the Passover, is recorded on many bloody
page of the history of this ancient people. 1t
has been singled out by furious mobs excited
by prosecuting potentates and fanatical priests
to be day of slaughter of this poor, weak
sect. Verify, history does not record greater
endurance and heroism than that of this people
No bravery or frmness the world can exhibit
can compare with the spirit with which this
people have borne the tortures of ages them
selves and their dearest ones dragged through
fiery agonies to the scaffod, those spared from
death but made slaves, or worse yet, THE kings
own" and all for their creed They have
braved martyrdom-they have conquered. Ma
ny of the master minds of the times trace their
origin to them, and acknowledge with respect
and gratitude an ancestry and religion that teach
them an iron will and perseverance. These are
now fast clearing away the prejudices of ages
and turning furious fanaticism to enlightened
tolerance.

ing of the lth inst and continues till the even

the Issue with gloomy forebodings. We are
heartily sick of sectional agitations, and hence
when we see prominent politicians preparing
an issue which may be made the pretext for the
revival of such agitations in their worst form,
we cannot but look to the future with some
misgivings'
The New 7 York Journal Of Commerce opposes
the construction of the Railroad by the govern
ment, and appears to doubt the necessity or
propriety of any road. At any rate, it resists
the governments taking any interest in it, fur
ther than by grants Of land. 1t says the con-
struction of the road will divert the entire rev
enue of the country, for years, from the legiti-
mate objects to which it is now applied, and
employ them in only one direc ton, and that ex-
travagant duties on importations will be one of
the fruits of this unjustifable departure from
the few and plain objects of the General Gov
ernment. The Journal contends, III an elabo-
rate article that to have the General Govern
ment diverted from its true purposes, and bert
on a scheme Of this character, under the fraud
ulent pretence that it is q military road, ostab-
lshed for purposes of defense, will be q calamity
that will deeply afllict the country.
From this review it may be seen what kind
Of difficulties embarrass this undertaking We
are firm friends of the road and trust for its
sake another of those compromises may be ef
fected which in the history Of our government
have at several critical periods relieved the
country from agitation, and given impetus to
its onward march in prosperity.

MURDER OF FERARI.--A friend at Eureka
sends us full particulars of this melancholy af
fair. Ferari was an Italian. For two years
past he had been acting as agent of the French
Mining Co. and was generally respected as
kind, honest and industrious man. The dcceas-
ed left Snow Tent on Thursday, 22d ult about
Q o'clock. 4. NJ, for the French Cabin below
Eureka Between 10 and IL o'clock the same
dav. his hat was found by man from Wash
ington. On Monday afternoon his body was
found at the Sugar Loaf, between Snow Tent
and Eureka
On the morning of the 9th the people of
Eureka and neighborhood assembled, proceeded
to the ground, appointed coroner and consta-
ble, and summoned a jury. The jury gave in a
verdict that Ferari came to his death by
wounds caused by arrows, and by having his
throat cut after being shot. 1t is said most of
the jury have had reason since to modify their
opinion from this verdict, which was induced
by arrows without barbs being found between
the spot where the hat was found and where the
body was dragged to- about $50 yards distant
There was a wound in the breast and hole in
the shirt, round like that made by pistol or
rife ball. The arrows were probably LETT by
the murderer to fasten suspicion on the Indians,
and of course lift it from itself: The person
who dragged the body wore boots or shoes, as
is shown by the prints of them. No eTidence
culpating any one has transpired, but We trust

Pacific Railroad 1t first establishes, that as
the Government may require Railroad for the
transportation of men and munitions of war, it
has the constitutional power to build the rail
road Having committed itselfon the question
of constitutionality it now makes feeble amends,
showing or stating that the difficulties of the
scheme are almost insuperable; that it is un-
certain whether any practicable route can be
found that if found, it may be so far in the
north that the south will not aid in constructing
a road upon it, or so far south that the north
will refuse to co operate that it will be difficult
to decide whether, should the government un-
dertake to carry through the work it will do
so by its own agents, or by means of grants of
money and lands to a company. From these
eddies in the current of the Union's lucubations,
it is evident that the administration has not vet
adopted any decided policy but is anxiously
watching the variations of the popular mind.
Farther on the Union speaks in tone OF
alarm as follows:
Suppose the issue should come up between
the northern and the southern route-and we
are not the first who have used these words
how is the selection to be made? Who does
not see in this question the little dark spot
which may grow into the stormy cloud? We
know not how other friends of the enterprise
may regard the matter but for ourselves, we
