SALT LAKG.-From the San Diego
Southern Californian we learn that La
guna de la Salina, small salt lake ahou
II miles from San Diego, and near the
coast, is likely soon to prove of inc alcula
bic value. A company has been formed
for the manufacture of salt, and the editor
says he saw kettle containing five gal
Ions of the water boiled for one hour, anc
on turning it off found fifteen pounds o.
wet salt, being three lbs. to the gallon
The Californian says:
The lake is situated near the sea, about
IL miles from this city, and is one of the
most delightful places we have had the
pleasure of visiting. Here are great ma.
ny fresh water springs cropping out of the
hills. and the greatest curiosity about the
lake that we can see is number of fresh
water springs running out of the bank be-
tween it and the sea; the lake and the sea
being not over 800 yards apart.
The lake cannot be fed from the sea by
high tides, as it was at first supposed, for
it must be at Jeast twenty feet higher than
the latter, and the banks dividing them
are so high that it is an impossibility for
the tides to rise over them. Our impress
sion is, that there are innumerable sal,
springs connecting with the lake from the
hills, which afford ii the saline qualities i,
possesses.

OLE BULL.--ln our last We promised our
readers visit from Ole Bull--the veritable
Ole Bull, the greatest violinist in the world
We believe his right to this title is undisputed
and has been for many years, and consequently
we must say the same thing; nor in fact have
We any inclination to rob him of his hard earn
ed fame. He certainly has a command OF the
bow we have never before seen exercised; and
although many persons would prefer plain, SIM
pie melodies to all his grand fourishes," we
presume it would not be safe fer one to intl-
mate such taste, because Miss Somebody has
published a most grandiloquent treaties on the
captivating power Of Ole Bulls music. More
over, it is a settled fact that tunes are out OF
fashion and vulgar, and any preference for them
to the grand variations" betrays ones SIM
plicity and unsophisticated taste. In fact, it is
au easy matter to acquire the capacity to per
form that kind of music which at once capti-
Yates the simple hearted and unsophisticated -
which barmonize with nature and elevates the
soul with its sweet accents but it is quite q
different thing to bring down whole house
and make the audience run wild by q success
ion of incoherent and discordant notes. The
fact is, we regard Ole Bull as being what the
world calls him master of his profession and
if any person can really like what is called fash
ionable music that person must worship at
the shrine of Ole Bull Accordingly, while
we were adnliring the agility with which he
handled and commanded his instrument, we
made most desperate effort to think his music
too was captivating. But all our efforts in
this were vain +; we could not do it. We very
much regret it because he IS a great fiddler {;
his style of performance is fashionable, and
therefore, we would like to admire it. The
fault is not ours but the fault of the Almighty
who formed US with this simple taste.

What was the rIesilla Valley bought for ?
Mr.. Herbert in his speech on Tuesday
night, in attempting to prove that the dem
cratic administration was in favor of the
Pacific Railroad. said that the acquisition
of the Mesila valley, was designed exclu-
sively for that road. Were he authorized
to say this, we are inclined to believe he
had as we'll kept it to himself. The weight
of authority goes to prove that the easiest
route to California would be through some
of the northern passes and could any man
having the good of the Union at heart
more than desire to court sectional favor,
think for one moment Of building rail
road through the almost wilderness of
Texas or Arkansas. without any central
convenient, or populous disctrict for start
ing point, to the exclusion Of Cincinnati or
St. Louis, located as they are in the midst
Of the richest and most thriving protion Of
the Union and IN so doing PREJUDICE and
settle the location of that road at the very
time competent engineers are making the
necessary surveys to ascertain the most feaS-
ible route. To say the least, it would be
making mockery OF the surveys now be-
ing made, setting at defiance the W iShes
and interests of nine-tenths of the inhabi-
tants of the Union and certainly three
fourths of the people Of California. If Mr..
Herbert meant what he said, and said it
understandingly, the democratic congress
and president had better retained the many
thousands spent in those useless explora-
tions, and applied it to the payment of our
national debt The extreme southern route
must necessarily have for its starting point,
an unimportant region on the Mississippi.
The great body OF commerce and emigra-
ton that must pass over it must necessarily
60 down the Ohio and Mississippi riv,
ers from Cincinnati and St. Louis, the dis
tance of 1000 or 1900 miles, to get to the
starting place, and then be as far from
their destination as when they first started
This would be ridiculous, to say nothing
of the criminal deception practiced by the
several surveys at such an immense cost
as they must create.

STILL AT LARGE.-Amason, the man who
murdered Bonney at Virgin Flat, in July, is
still at large, no authentic information of his
whereabouts having as yet been had By ref
erence to advertisement in the Journal it will
be seen the reward of 81 400 is still offered for
his apprehension. No stone should be left un-
turned for the apprehension and conviction of
this man. Beside the murder for which he is
now hunted, he is known in this region, or
wherever he has been known, to have been a
quarrelsome being. 1t is only little more than
than year since we saw him stabbed by man
whom he was pursuing with an unrelenting de-
termination to inflict upon him summary
punishment for what seemed to be an imagina-
rp offence and he then boasted that he had
been repeatedly stabbed before He is a des-
perate character and ought to be brought to
justice.
