RIVERS AND HARBoRs.-The opposition
Press are abusing President Pierce for his vote
of River and Harbor Bill They abused Presi-
dent Polk in the same manner, but the People
sustained him. The democratic party, at their
last national convention, said that the consti-
tution does not confer upon the general govern
ment the power to commence and carry out a
general system of internal improvements"
President Pierce said of this Bill, in his vote
message" recognize in it certain provisions
nataonat in their character, and which if they
stood alone. it would be compatible with my
conviction ofpubic duty to assent to-"
Such were the appropriations for the Great
Lakes ofthe Northwest, and the Missssipi Riy-
er. But the Bill was loaded with obnoxious
appropriations, and the real friends of tho Bin
were unable to strike them out
The wings, led by Seward, and those who
deny the constitutional power Of Congress to
make any appropriation, joined their forces,
and defeated every judicious amendment pro-
posed by the friends of the measure The
tactics Of the opposition was to make the Bill
as odious as possible, in order to force the Pres
ident to veto. We sincerely regret that this
factious course was pursued, and that appro-
priations for truly worthy and appropriate OBJ
jects were thus defeated, by encumbering the
Bill, with appropriations for goose ponds, bogus
harbors, village creeks, and provincial rivers.

AN ARTIFICIAL WoNDER.-They have sunk
an Artesian Well in st. Louis twenty-five hun
dred feet, and are still boring. 1t is to get pure
water for Sugar Refinery. At the depth of
700 feet vein Of salt water was struck, and
at 800 feet an immense vein of sulphur water
burst forth, which has been running over since
its discovery in large stream from tho mouth
of the we'll This water is the same as that of
the Blue Lick Springs, in Kentucky, and pos
sesses purity and freshness of taste quite su-
perior to that which reaches us in barrels and
casks. 1t is carried off by large sewer, lead
ing to the river 1t seems too wasteful that
such profuse quantities of this celebrated wa
ter should be permitted to flow away, but the
refinery needs the clear, unadulterated element,
and it must have it and nothing else. Other
medical waters have been discovered, we be-
lieve, but they have been of little conseq quence.

Everything in California is on large scale.
They used to pay large prices for potatoes and
now they raise large piles to rot See this:
The editor of the California Farmer describ-
ing recent trip to San Jose Valley says :"We
venture to assert that the potatoes that will lay
upon the ground and rot in the San Jose Valley
the present year, will count in bushels by mill
ions. We saw one pile that was the length of
eight rails of fence ninety-six feet, about thirty
feet wide, and some two feet above the fence,
seemingly enough to supply the State. These
with vast quantities all over the country, and
other countries also, will be lost unless some
plan is devised for using them."
