A CHINESE NswsPAPER IN SAN FRASo1s-

and printed in Chinese characters, which
has been started in this city as the organ of
the Celestial population. 1t is entitled
the Gold Hills Ne,Cs, California being
known among the Chinese as the Gold
Hills" As usual with many Of the Ori-
entail nations, one has to read Chinese
from top 10 bottom, instead of from left to
right. The Netcs presents very fair,
biographical appearance for Chinese, that
is to say, it looks as if spider out Of an
ink-bottle had crawied over sheet of
white paper. Weare not very familiar
with Chinese characters, but from appear
ance, we should judge that the salutatorv

A Voice from the Spirit-Land.
By ROBERT II. TAYLOR.

Weep not, sister !. though they lay me
In the cold and narrow grave,
/ am happy now in heaven,
Near the Lamb who died to save.
In the greenwood, when thou roamest,
will visit thee again;
Thou shalt hear my voice at even,
But it shall not cause thee pain.
When thou sleepest on thy pillow,
will hover near thy head,
Pleasant dreams of me shall haunt thee
Sister dear-I am not dead!
Weep not sister soon I'll see thee;-
Dry each tear, suppress each sigh,
We shall meet and love each other,
In the bright and fadeless sky!

following eloquent extract from all extern

the new Banking and Express Office OF
Adams & Co. in New York. Any com

favorably, known not only in California,
but in all other parts of the business world.
One of the teatacula of this CONNER

comparatively, the landing of the Mission
AIRY among uncivilized savages has been
followed by the advent of the Merchant,
and his, by that of the Expressman.

DUELLING AND THE LADIES. - Mrs.
Lindsey of the Kentucky Garland is very
severe on the practice of duelling, but
Prentiss, OF the Louisville Journal, with
an unpardonable want of gallantry says it
is all the fault of the ladies themselves,
who pet and lionize duellists who have
been so unfortunate as TO shoot their friends
through the head.

BEAR SToRy.-We understand the road
between Winters Bar and the fremont
House has lately been infested by griz-
lilies. The chapparal in the vicinity is
very dense and affords safe retreat for
his bearship. On one night no less than
seven hogs belonging to Mr.. Kruzie were
killed by bruin, thus evincing decided
partiality for fresh pork. 1t is not little
singular that the bear attacked the herd
in daylight, and when driven off from
attacking one hog, be would Immediately
turn upon another. But these deprcda-
tions must be stopped, and with them
the career of grizzly. The dead hogs were
carried off, and one of them placed beneath
a. tree near the scene Of the slaughter, and
left there during the night. Towards
dark two men stationed themselves in the
tree, when the bear came to indulge in his
luxurions supper, was served with great
er amount Of lead than he could pack off,
and accordingly fell prey to his enemies.

CHINEsE-rhe arrival OF the Lord War
riston with nearly eight hundred Chinese
immigrants is significant fact. By the
accounts which this vessel brought from
Hongkong, it appears that during the
months of last January and February,
upwards Of $500 Chinese had emigrated
from that port to the Pacific continent.
Some of these have arrived at San Fran
cisco, Others have gone to the Isthmus,
and others to Callao and to places further
south. BY the same accounts it appears
that above 5000 of the same people are
preparing to follow their fellows to Anne
rica, aud are only detained through the
want of sufficient shipping to convey
them. 1t may naturally be anticipated
that large portion OF those intending
emigrants viii come to CALIFORNIA;. +.

TIE CRY WALL.-The following shows
the progress of that part Of the city wall
assigned to the Eighteenth Ward. 1t
is clipped from a communication from
the contractor, Mr.. A. p. lockwood,
dated Feb. 11th, 1854.
1t was commenced about the 1st Of
Nov. last, and progressed every day (Sun-
days excepted) until the 18th of January.
At this time the work ceased on account
of the severe weather until the Sd inst,
when it was RECOMMENDED, and has been
in successful operation ever since. 1t is
now about five-sixths completed; the re-
mainder will be finished in few weeks,

The Genius cast a mysterious glance
around him, then fixing his eyes on the
half crazed youth replied: Thou art
worn with the fatigucs OF thy journey, and
disappointment sets heavily on the heart
Let me persuade thee to take some re-
freshment before we start, for the way We
shall travel is very toilsome and has never
been trodden by any of thy race"
Stamping with his foot, the mountain
suddenly divided in the centre, and left the
youth standing on the brink of fearful!
chasm. He stood for moment Supplied
with fear: his foothold kept crumbling
beneath him, and his heart seemed te con-
geal within him. Suddenly a torrent
burst from. the hill side and rushed down
the deep chasm, its waves dashing against
the cliffs, and lashing each other into foam.
In an instant the troubled waters subsi-
ded and flowed on in smooth stream
The sunbeams danced on the ripp!es, and
the water fowl padded out from the little
cove. On its silvery surface Aoated fruits
Of every cline, and the golden sands gilt
tered in the sun along the shore. The
young man reached forth to snatch bunch
of fruits that was floating by, but it was
beyond his reach and Aoated on. He
tried to drink but the waters began 10
seethe and boil. Suddenly his foot slipped,
and he fell headlong into the food and in-
sensibly foated down the stream.
When he came to himself he was seated
again upon the top Of the mountain, and
the Genius stood beside him. young
man," said he, "let the events of this day
sink deep in thy soul. Had l granted thy
foolish request thou wouldst have gazed on
those phantom treasures, till thy soul had
left thee.
The youth awoke; the Genius had disap-
peared. The valley was spread out befpre
him as before, with its little lakes and
long winding streams. The waterfowl
still circled about as before, and the little
birds sang in the branches of the neigh
boring trees, as though they were trying
to chase away the deep silence that reigncd
in the hills.
The gold hunter awoke from his dream;
his pi< k and shovel and gun lay where he
had thrown them; the blue smoke still rose
up pfrom the Indian rancherias in the little
valley, and he still heard the merry voices
of the untamed children of the woods at
play. He felt relief that it was only a
dream. Taking from his bosom little
miniature he gazed for moment upon it;
then gathering up his mining implements
and gun he disappeared in the neighbor-
ing glen.
A year passed away, and an aged wo-
man sat in her cabin on the banks of the
Desmoines, plying the spinning wheel for
bread. The shadow Of Il we'll remembered
form fell on the doorstep. The Californian
had returned from the golden harvest,
bringing his sneaves with him; "and he
was the only son of his mother and she
was widow"

STAG-HUNTING IN THE OLDES TINE
How the painting cavalcade rose and fell
on the huge mile-long waves of the vast
heather sea; how one long brown hill after
another swelled up, brcwner and browner,
before them; and how the sandstone ratified
and flew beneath their feet, as the great
horses "devoured the plain" and struggled
down the hillside through bushes and
rocks, and broad, slipping, rafting sheets
OF screes, and saw beneath them stag and
pack galloping down the shallow, glitter
ing river-bed, throwing up the single,
striking out the water i'll long, glistening
sheets; and how they, too, swept after them
down the fiat valley, rounding crag and
headland, which opened one after another
in interminable vista, along the narrow
and hawthorns. bedded between the great
grim, lifelcss, mountain walls. And then
the hounds full cry died away as the
woodland pass of Brendon engulphed them
as they brushed through the narrow forest
paths, the wild outcry seemed to stop and
concentrate thrown back louder and louder
as they rode, till at sudden turning of
road, there stood the stag beneath them
in the stream, his back against the black
rock, knee deep in the clear amber water,
the hounds around him-some struggling
and swimming in the deep pool, some roll.
ing and tossing. and FLASHING in mad
halfterrified ring, as he reared into the air
on his great launches, with the sparkling
beads running of his red name, and drop
ping on his knees plunged his antlers down
among them with blows which would
have brought certain death with it, if the
yielding water had not broken the shock.
Then, with stock of the huntsman's
knife, the death followed:
The huge carcase was dragged out of the
stream, followed by dripping. painting
hounds. The mort was blown; the
huntsmen joined in wild halloo that rang
through the autumn woods and rolled up
the smooth. fiat mountain sides; and Bren-
don answered Countisbury and Counts
bury sent it on to Lynmouth Hills, till it
swept out of the gorge and died away
upon the Severn Sea.-Ctron,cle.

Republics is Ungrateful. :"

Such was the conclusion of street poll
tician who failed to be appreciated by his
constituency, and such we presume is the
opinion of the renowned Walker and his
men. The following from the Los Ange.
les Star, of the 22d, will give some idea
of the state of affairs in the New Re-
public"
About the 7th inst. party of ten or
twelve of Walkers men came up the Sono-
IA side Of the Colorado, and and crossed
the ferry, nearly in q naked and starving
condition. They stated that about ten
days previous Walker crossed the river
some forty miles below the mouth of the
ella, by means of RATS and swimming
They describe the whole of the command
as being in most miserable and desti-
tute condition, wearing the same clothing
with which they went to the country, and
this is in tatters and rags Walker him
self is no better clad than the rest, and
has but one boot and piece of boot
At their crossing they cached 20 or 80
stand of arms. The Cucupa Indians were
here detected in stealing some of their
stolen cattle, and in the attack upon
them seven or eight Of the Indians were
killed. After this Walker recrossed the
river at the same point, with only twenty
five men, and started back for Santo
Tomas with nothing to subsist on but
beef upon which they had for long time
been living. They represent Walker as
having turned back in sheer desperation,
without an object, or if he had one it was
concealed, and because it was the only
thing he could do. The party arrived at
the Fort in extreme destitution, and were
kindly furnished with clothing and provi-
sion by Major Heintzclman and DR.. Nc
Kinstry. They represented Themselves as
extremely sorry for having joined the ex-
pedition and are on their way to the set
Elements to obtain employment. They
say if they can gain an honest living, they
will not go soldering any more"
