Fourth Of July at Orleans Flat.
ORLEANS Flat, July 5. 1856

OhAEA>o LAI Juy y, 4CO4.
The anniversary of our glorious 4th was
decoriously and patriotically celebrated
here on Tuesday. A large concourse of
people melted by the occasion and prepar
ations-crowded the streets at an early
hour, desirous to partake and witness the
current enthusiasm. A splendid flag,
gracefully waving from natural pine
staff, 200 feet high, reused the patriotism
of every clique. Cheer after cheer was
given. Report succeeded report, issuing
from all kinds of contrivances, till every
hill, mountain and canon deeply groaned
with echoes. The celebration commenc.
ing with the usual salutes, paced along
with explosives, ardents, declartions and
speeches. received new impulse and ami
nation from the antic evolutions and mar
tial feats of a cavalry company of fantas-
tics-organiSed for the eventful day, accu.
mulated strength at luxurious and substan.
tial tables-spread for all at every house of
note and wound up with an "elastic hon.
and supper with the "Belles of the noun
tains" at the social hall of Hubbard &
Palmer. 1t was truly day Of rejoicing,
peace and social intercourse. Everv class
of citizens was happy and Joyous and no
sad face intruded on the general glee-nor
riot, brawl or confusion marred the pleas
ures of the anniversary.
A propitious event occurred in the midst
OF the rejolcings-Mrs. Bowman giving
birth to fine boy, thus adding one to the
free natives of our golden state.
The happy associations of this issue will,
no doubt, censpire to his future eminence,
even now they have conferred the immor-
tai name of Washington. fear we must
acknowledge tinge of envy at their prov
idential and felicitous legacy.
All we'll, diggings on the ascendent,
and water mostly "petered."
Yours, &C., P.F.p.

On Friday evening 7th, at about 10 1-2
o'clock, stabbing case came off at the
Spanish dance house on Commercial street,
between John Mcguire and Mexican
1tappears Mcguire was somewhat offended
in seeing Mexican dancing in the same
set with himself, and spoke to him in an
offensive manner. After the dancing was
over the Mexican demanded satisfaction to
his remark. Mcguire aimed a tum-
bier at his head, but did not strike him.
The Mexican then followed him out Of the
house, when they clinched each other, and
Mcguire stabbed him in the intestines.-
The Mexican was heard to exclaim that
he was killed, upon which Mcguire i'm
mediately fed. The most rigid search has
been made for him by our efficient Mar
shall and his deputies. But as yet he has
not been arrested.

CrposlTIoN.-"A certain amount Of
opposition" says John Neal, ia a great
help to man. Kites rise against and not
nth the wind. Even head wind is bet
ter than none. No man ever worked his
passage anywhere in a dead calm. Let
no man war pale, therefore, because of
opposition. Opposition is what he wants,
and must have, to be good for anything
Hardship is native soil Of manhood and
self-reliance. He that cannot abide the
storm without Ainching or quailing, strips
himself in the sunshine and lies down oy
the wayside to be overlooked and forgot

wind to struggle when the winds blow

Affection change not with place.
A sad farewell is warmly dear
But something dearer may be found
To dwell on lips that are sincere
And lurk on bosoms closely boHnd

And both less earnest than the boon,
Which ferventlv, the last fond sigh,
Begs in the hopeful words Write soon -

When mothers watched our leaving home -
And still amid the trumpet joys,

To hear this minor cadence flow
We part, but carry on our way,
Some loved ones plaintive spirit tune,
That wander seems to say,

One of the parties was shot in the side' but

Considerable excitement was occasloned
by the occurrence, and a large crowd as

the custom to fight duels in some secluded
spot, far away from the haunts of men ;

Prof HARE of the Tn verSity Of Penn

as a convert to their theory. A Phila-

The aged Professor had formerly in

He stated that he was induced to give
the subject a more particular eXamina-
ton. in consequence of a letter from q
friend in the East. lie then set to work
in earnest and with the most careful pre-
cision. First, to satisfy himself that the
movements were not the work Of NOR
tails, he took brass billiard balls, placed
them on zinc plates, and placed the hands
of the mediums on the balls and to his
very great astoniShment the tables NOR
ed. He next arranged a table to slide
backward and forward to which attach
ments were made, causing disc to re-
volve containing the alphabet, hidden
from the view of the medium. The let
tiers were variously arranged out Of their
regular consecutive order and the spirit
was required to place them consecutive
", or in their regular place. And behold
il was done! Then followed intelligcrt
sentences. which the medium could not
see or know the import OF till they were
told him.
Again he tried another capital test.
The long end of lever was placed on
spiral scales. with IN index attached, and
the weight marked; the mediums hand
rested on the short end Of the beam
where it was impossible to give pressure
downward, but if pressed it would have
a contrary effect, and raise the long end.

was increased several pounds on tie scale.

Ell Dorado,

This term was at first applied to a
fabulous country, in which gold and pre-
clous stones are as common rs rocks or
sand in other countries. Francis Orel-
lana, a companion Of Pizaro, first spread
the account of this fabulous region, i'll
Europe; and an Engiishman, at the end
of the 10Th century, published des
crip!ion Of this favored country with II
map. The German .ScALurgfenlond,
where roasted pigeons fly into ones
mouth, or where, as the German poet
Goethe has it, the vines are tied by sau-
sages to the stocks, is somewhat similar
to the English and American ideas Of
