sidesate. and unjustiiable. We regret that the |
Arctic should have been running thirteen miles
an hour in dense fog: and we wish we had
heard that some means had been employed to
signal her approach. 1t would moreover be
deep source of consolation to the survivors
could they congratulate themselves on having
saved at least some Of the women and
children: or, at all events, on the number
of passengers slved bearing some closer
proportion to that Of the seamen and
fremen. No military achievement ever re-
aec.ed such undying fame on British soldiers
as t. cir conduct at the wreck of the Birken-
head, when every woman and child was saved,
and whole regiment stood steady in the ranks
as the ship went down with all on board Let
us hope that further accounts win relieve the
men of the Arctic from all suspc on.
1t only remains, now, for us to OFFER our sim
cere sympathy to those whom this awful castas-
trophe has bereaved of friend or arela&ion. To
him especially, whose enterprise conceived and
energy carried out the plan of the steamship
line, now bereit of one Of its'noblest vessels
and who l. ses not only ship he loved as such
men love their creations, but oil who. were
dearest to him-wife, SOC, and daughter--we
would offer whatever sosace knowledge of
our heartfelt sympathy can bestow. Some con-
ISOLATION it nust be, in this hour of bitter trial,
| to remember that the last act Of the son who is
| no more vas one OF memorable beroism; that
| he threw from hin, prOfered life preserver,
as the aip sunk in the water, and babe him
| who rendered it carry it at once to the ladies
| What nobler death could he have died9
A lesson, too, we may learn from this awful
event. As steamships increase, and speed be-
comes every day greater object witk captains
and shipowners the danger of collisions is fear
fully magnided. Ten ships now sail where one
formerly ehall we net make precaution
keep pace with risk, and as our navy swells,
compel ships and steamboats, to enlarse the
measures of prudence by which alone security
can be attained?

The PENNSYLVANIA, ONO AND INDIANA ELgC
TIoNs-As we expected, the administration
spoils party has been routed like the Philistincs
from Philadelphia straight through to the east
ern boundary Of Ihinois. The scattering re-
turns we have received are fall of interesting
results. 1t is apparent that Pollock is elected
Governor of Pennsylvania by crushing ma
jority, and supposed anti-Nebraska majority of
fifty thousand for Ohio, is positively shocking"
Indiana appears to have gone the same way
with rush. The fact is, the people are sick and
tired of the Cabinet and Kitchen Cabinet seoils-
men at Washington; and thus the excuse Of the
Nebraska bill has been so powerfully efficient in
crushing OUT the administration in the great
West.
DR.. Odds, the man who labored so very hard
for an increase of hostages at the last session
of Congress, as an instrument of the Cabinet, is
defeated of reelection, by from 800 to 1000
majority the other way. The result will pro-
baby be useful to other time servers Of the
Cabinet spoilsmen who have yet to be ,ried at
the polls.
We shall recur to these elections again.

Letters from Major Downie.

How swift winged is Time in Califor-
MIA! Little did think five years ago,
when was prospecting, bailing out pot
holes, and cresicing along the banks with
knife and pan, that five years afterwards l
would be on the same banks in an old log
cabin, noting down for you few Incl
dents of gold hunting on the Yuba.
But, man is short sighted mortal, and
cannot tell what day may bring forth,
much less read his destinies in coming
years. For myself, l intend to take the
world as find it; have become accus-
toned to disappointment; this is miners
life, and if he brood over every little disap-
pointment, his only reward will be a gray
head and premature old age. Sometimes
when he imagines that his fortune is just
in reach, tomorrow sun brings disap-
pointment, and all his visions of wealth
melt away to thin air: another "dead fail
ure.' Sometimes fortune comes unawares;
nor can she be always wooed by tolling
early and late. This should be borne IN
mind, that extra hard work will not al
ways make pile. am well aware that
our anxious friends at home, think that if
we don't make ''ten strike" in two or
three years, that we are improvident and
indolent, and don't try. How little they
know about it! How many there are,
aye, not far from Downieville, who have
worked hard for months and years-eat
the bread of carefulness, and patched their
torn clothes by pine knot fire, and still
are poorL Is it not so everywhere? A
long, and wherever there is summer ant
winter, spring time and harvest, there viii
always be the rich and poor. But wher,
is there another country where honest pov
ierty, with strong arms and hopeful heart
may be better rewarded for the labor o
his hands. Let our friends at home sus
pend their opinion until IRE get througl

To '' Alice ;


Igreet thee, Alice, from my monE tain home;
Spurn not the homage of feeble pen;
And if my soul in search of thine would
roam,
Repel it not, nor send it forth again.
| fain would offer thee the tribute due
To thee, in this, Humanity's great cause,
But that know thou hast nobler view
Than hope of Fame, or e'en my weak
applause.
Thou wouldst fulfil what should be woman's
lot,
To cheer the dropping heal the breaking
heart;
To whisper words Of Hope, and falter not
For Kindness oft can make despair de-
part.
In this cold heartless world. too few, alas.
Extend hand to raise a fallen one,
But shrink away with loathing as they pass,
Until the weary wretch hates all beneath
the sun.
How wildly thou dost recall to mind
A far-of home, these fearful eyes can
tell;
And all that was in memory first enshrined,
a mether's tones, and e'cn her last :: fare
well'
And every heart that is not callouscd DER,
VIII wake, and vibrate to that holy spell,
And wives. and mothers from the Atlantic
shore,
Will watt blessing to thy mountain dell.
And mayst thou. Alice. from thy ingle side
Full oft evince thy philanthropic zeal,
Till in each heart thy words Of hope may
glide,
And turn to virtue what might otherwise
CONCEAL
Farewell, sweet Alice, would the power
were mine,
To sing thy praises as feel thy worth,
But all my heartfelt sympathy is thine,
And with thy efforts oft my prayers &C
forth LEILA.
