IATION RECOMMENDED.

Time-honored Massachusetts, has become the
pestiient hot bed of faction bigotry and faternal
discord. lhe soil consecrated by the first blood OF
the revolution is yielding late harvest of hydra
headed monsters, who are traitorously leagued to-
gether to scatter the dragon seeds of revolution
and ruin over is fair surface. The glorious old
State, with its revolutionary memories clustering
around it; the cradle where liberty was rocked,
where its growth was nurtured and sustained, has
in the maturity OF its years and strength rashly
stretched out its sacrilegious arms to pull down
the pillars of the noble edifcc which it was so in
Sentimental in erecting.
Are there none of "the solid men of Boston
left to rebuke and put to flight this iell spirit OF
folv madness and blind ianaticism2 Where are

My Mother State, when last the moon
Of blossoms clomb the skies Of June,
And, scattering ashes on my head,
wore, undermining Of relief,
The sackcloth of thy shame and grief.
Again that moon Of blossoms shi lcs
On leaf aud flower AID glancing wing,
And thou hast risen with the spring
Once more thy strong maternal arms
Are round about thy children flung
4 lioness that guards her youngl
No threat is on thy closed lips,
But in thine eye Il power to smite
The mad wolf backward from its light.
Southwark the baflicd robbers track
IIeuccforth runs only; hereaway,
The fell lycanthropc finds no prey.
Henceforth, within thy sacred gates,
His first low howl shall downward draw
The thunder of thy righteous law.
Not mindless of thy trade and gain,
But, acting on the wiser plan,
Th9u'rt grown conservative Of man.
So shall thou clotherwith life the hope,
Droam-painted on the sightloss eyes
OF him who sang Of Paradise
The vi son7of Christian man,
In virtue as in stature great,
Embodied in Christian State.
And thou, amidst thy sisterhood
Forbearing long, yet standing fast,
Shalt win their grateful thanks at last;
When North and South shall strive no more
And all their feuds and fears DC lost
In Freedoms holy Pcntecost,

The MisT.-We learn from the s. F.
Chronicle that the San Francisco Mint is now
coming 100000 daily, or at the rate of ST.
100000 per month, and is ready to coin at
the rate of 81 500, 900 per month, aud would
coin at that rate if the gold would pour in.
Depostors are paid within AZ hours after
making their deposits.
The coinage Of silver whs commenced last
week. Half dollars will be the only silver
coins strnck at present. Upon examination
the dies for quarter dollars were found defect
i've, but new sets of dies are expected TO ar.
rive in few days.
The Herald says; The machinery for coin
ing silver is of sufficient capacity to supply
the demand. The amount Of silver bullion
on hand at present does not exceed $4,000
II is found necessary to enlarge the accom-.
modations Of the Mint; and new vault is
being constructed for the sub-treasury de-
partment.

EXPLOSION OF THE PGARL.-The S. +.
C6ronicls says, legal proceedings have at

undergo judicial investigation, although the
Grand Jury Of Sacramento county and the
Federal authorities, to each Of whom the
subject has been submitted for action, have
as get taken no steps in the premises. MIR.
Gla>sell, Acting District Attorney states
that he shall decline 10 institute any proceed
ngs in behalf of the government or on in
formation, until the Grand Jury Of Sacrs-
men,o county shall decide whether or no to
inGict the officers Of the boat. In the mean
time a private libel for damages has been I'LL
ed against the beat by one of her unfortu
nate passengers. The name of the libellsnt
is VIM. Nicholson, all Englishman.
The most serious injury which the libel
liant received was in the fracture Of q leg,
which is alleged to be a comminuted COM
pound fracture, which, in growing together,
will shorten the limb, so as to make him
cripple for life. The amount Of damages

SURVEYOR GEsERAL's REPoRr.- Through
the poli,eness Of Mr.. Sprague, of the Senate,
we have received copy Of the Report of
the Hon. s. II. Marlette, Surveyor General
Of the State 1t is an extremely able docu-
ment and contains much valuable information
We intend to refer to it more fully on fu-
turc occ aston.
We learn from j. that Sailors Diggings
and Althouse, which have heIetofore been
supposed to be within the limits of klamath
county, belong TO Oregon.

County TREAsURER-Now that we have
a County Treasurer, we think that we are ex-
pressing the general wish Of the County,
when we ask OF that officer TO make report
of the state of the County finances. Our
citizens have been heavily taxed during the
past year, and they would like to know what
has become of the money which has been
paid by them into the treasury.
They would like to have an exhibit made
of all monies paid in-what monies have been
iisbursed. and to whom--the amount Of funds
in the treasury, Gf any and the amount of
the Indebtedness OF the county.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Chells, who
has acted in the capacity of Treasurer most
Of the time during the year 1854, has dis
charged the duties Of his Office faithfully,
with credit to himself, and TO the best inter-
ests Of the County; but it would be more sat
isfactory to the community generally if he
would make an exhibit of the state of our
financial affairs, so that we may know how
much we owe, and for what purposes this
debt has been incurred.

THE MAsoUERADE BALL at the DIANA on
Tuesday evening, was very gay party, and
the beautiful appearance OF the Saloon was
the admiration Of every one. Messrs. Cha
baud & Co displayed even more than their
usual good taste in the decoration of the Hall
and all their arrangements for the occasion.
Messrs. Otto & Co. of the Miners Hotel
deserve much credit for the truly excellent
supp,r prepared by them. The tables were
loaded with every thing to tempt even the
most fastdous appetite, and the merry par
ty did ample justice to the delicious viands
spread before them.

SHALL TIRE Town Be lEcoRroRATRDf-
We understand that petition is in circula-
tion, to BE- presented to tho County Court,
praying that the town OF Wesverville be
made an incorporated town, in accordance
with the "Act TO provide for the Incorpora-
ton Of Towns" passed BY the Legislature in
March, 1850.
We think that the movement will meet
with the general appreciation Of our citizens
1t is very desirable that we should have some
police regulations. 1t is necessary that some
provision should be made to protect our town
from fre--public wells and cisterns should
be constructed--our streets and roads should
be repaired and kept in order-and last, not
least, o stop should be put to the drunken
brawls and disgraceful scenes that are con
tinually occurring in our streets. We say,
let the town be incorporated, and let US have
a Board Of Trustees elected forthwith.

by law. We have also received, from the
same source, n copy Of letter from Joel
Palmer, Esq, Superintendent Of Indian AZ

Of the law prohibiting the sale Of arms to In

tee" are doubtless ambitious of seeing their
elegant epistles in print, we will crafty their
wishes next week. We can sssure our read
ers that the letters are quite as remarkable
specimens of literary composition as the poe
try referred to.
We have also received communication
from the Deputy Sheriff of this County in re-
ply to the charge made against him in a

by certain French Miners on Trinity River.

A HoAx-The news published on Our
first page, of the storming of Sebsstopol--
revolt in Poland secession Of A ustria, &c,
purporting to be from al extra from the New
Orleans Picayuae, turns out to be all hoax.
The Times and Transcript ssys:
There il no additional news Of any impor-
tance from the seat Of war in Europe. On
Saturday after the arrival of the Oregon, our
city was enlivened by the cry from the news
boys, of the fall of Sebssiopol. A hoax in
the form of an extra N. o. Picay~ne had
been gotten up in this city, and for several
hours deceived the majority of our commu-
nifty, although it was Immediately detected by
close observers. If any change has in re-
ality taken place in the Crmea, it is the dis
covery that Sebastopol is less likely to be
taken than it was at the commencement OF
the seige.
