MININc.-The boys have been doing
remarkably well, during the last two
weeks, until stopped by the heavy rains,
which commenced again on Thursday.
Last night the rain poured down in tor
rents,-even the go. l." had never seen
it rain so hard before. Immense dam
age was done to the claims on the main
gulch, some Of the claims being injured
from two to FIVE hundred dollars;on one
of them we have heard the damage es-
:lmated at $1,000. Claims forty and fifty
feet in depth have been filed up with
water and slum; toms and sluices have
been swept away by the food; tons of
worthless earth has caved and been
prccipitated to the bottom of rich holes,
carrying timbers, windlasses, toms, sluic-
cs, and tools in its descent; and, which
will require weeks of hard Improbable
labor to remove.

Bensonville, on Tuesday, washed out l3

"Ir's Me. Passing a neat lit tie
martin box of house last evening, wa
happened to see man waiting at the
door for admittance At the instant, u
green blind above just opened little
way, and by the gas light we caught
glimpse of pair of brilliant eyes, and q
futter of something white. and bird
toned voice softly said, ,"Who's there"
"Ir's Me-" was the brief response. The
eyes and futter disappeared from the
window, like stars in cloud, and we al
most fancied, as we passed on, We could
hear the pattering Of two little feet upon
the stairs, winged with welcome.
1t was tri1e, it all happened in an
instant, but it haunted us for an hour.
It's me! Amid the jar of the great city,
those words fell upon the quick ear aloft,
and met with a glad response.
H's me-, And who aUas "me" The
pride of hearts life, no doubt; the tree
a vine was clinging to; the ''Defender of
the Faithful" in the best sense of the
word.
It's me! Many there arc who would
give half their hearts, and more than
half the hope in them, for one such re-
cognition, in this "wide, world" On
Change, in the directory, at the post Off
ce, he was known as A. B. c., Esq, but
on that threshold, and within these walls,
IT'S me, and nothing more; and what more
is there one would love to be-
Few of all the he arts that beat SO Wild
ly, warmly, sadly, slowly, can recognize
a true soul amid the din and darkness of
the world, in that simple and eloqucn.
IT'S me. AS ifhe had said,
Now Pm nothing to all the world,
For Pm all the world to thee.

PURCHASE OF MUseUIroDoM BY A
MERIcANs.-We find the following in
the Washington correspondence of the
N. Y. Times
But these are facts not generally
known, which prove, conclusive, that
Great Britain is perfectly well aware
that she is excluded from Central A
merica under the treaty and caonot re-
fuse to sustain that treaty; an1 also,
that she must, IN accordance witk its OBJ
1ectioms, abandon her colony of Me Bay
of Islands. The first of these fhcts is,
that the Musquito King, uitA the assent
Of Great Britain, has sold OFT to a
company of American citizens o6e-half
Of the entire territory over which he
claims to exercise d0pinion. Tbpt ter
ritory is seventy thousand squars miles
in extent. The company (of (which
Senator Cooper, of Pennsylvanh, is a
member has purchased $4,000 square
miles for $5o,0Oo!-and they have not
only purchased the territory, bot the
eminent domain; also, all the right of
the Mosquito King to exercise domin-
ion oser the territory, and therefdte, all
his right to levy taxes upon them or to
restrict them in any way.

March next, for consideration.
The Assembly, on Saturday last, by a
small majority, passed concurrent res

EDITORIAL LIFE-"Dr. johnson had
very correct notion of the delights Of

truth into such small space, that we can
not refrain from quoting his remarks"
DR.. johnson says: | know no class of the
community from whom so much disinter~
ested bencvolence and thankless labor arc
expected, as from editors of newspapers.
They are expected to feel for every one
but utthemselves-to correct public abuses,
and private ones also, without giving
offence-to sustain the difficulties of
others without regard to their own, to
condemn improper measures of every
one and no one at the same time. They
are expected to note everything that is
important or extraordinary; of mems
opinions their notices must be calculated
to please every one and at the same
tim eofend no onc.''

men in this city short time since,
where one of the ladies O (according

teen more acted exactly like her. He
met one of the Indies the next day and
she looked lean and haggard and had
bad headache. Quite number of the

REV. j. C. PENDERGRASS.


After the close of Divine Service on
Sunday next, the religious duties of the
Rev. J. c. Pendergrass in this town
will cease, and he will leave us with his
amiable and excellent Lady, to be pres
ent at the yearly Conference of his
Church at Stockton MIR. Pendergrass
has been with us for the last year, as
Pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, and by his exemplary
and christian conduct, has contributed
largely to advance the cause of his
Heavenly Master; to assist in establish
ing good morals; and to impart to socie-
ty tone and benefit, valuable to all.
Such gentleman is of peculiar useful
ness; strict in the discharge of his re-
ligious duties, without bigotry or intoler-
ance; firm in his christian calling, with
out rncharitableness towards others:
leading the sinful towards the paths of
duty and virtue, without denouncing
those who would not listen to his teach
ing, or condemming those who did not
always think with him. Addressing
himself and his precepts to all, with
peculiar gentleness and kindness, while
in his swn person, he has always been a
bright example Of the good christian.
In all things the Rev. gentleman has
been a fitting memorial of the good
SHEPPARD; kind, friendly, amiable and
good; a bright representative ofhis Great
Father, touching the feelings of men,
their reason and love, and cleansing their
hearts through all the gentle teachings
OF him, who come to save all men. We
may say of him that his labors here have
been eminently useful, and will be of
lasting benefit. In leaving us, we speak
the general sentiment, when we remark,
that no enemies or cold friends are left
behind. Universally respected, esteem
ed and beloved, the whole community
are his friends, and we'll wishers.
Wherever Mr. Pendergrass may hereaf-
ter be stationed with his gentle and af-
fectionate lady, we bespeak for them
warm welcome. They will be we'll wor-
thy of the good Offices of those they may
sojourn with, and will be found we'll en-
titled to all that may be offered them.
May they enjoy in this world all the
happiness, that they so justly deserve,
as they will, through their good steward
ship meet with rich reward hereafter.
