SCENE IN REAL LIFE.


WE do not often indulge in the sent;
mental, but occasionally in our walk.
our attention is called to events happen
iig before us, which leave an impres
sion upon our minds, and lead us tc
thoughts and reflections which it is well
We, as all other men, should indulge in
at times.
We had been on the north side to see
an acquaintance at his hotel, and re-
turning by Clark street, found, as is
generally the case with man in a hur-
ry, one of those little busy inventions,
steam tug, had passed up the river
with small feet of vessels in tow, one
of which had been cast off, and hauled
10 just west of the bridge Seeing no
hopes of getting to our Office for some
time. and knowing that our compositors
could not be in any worse temper an
hour later than then, we resolved to
bear it meekly, and find mental occupa-
tion by observing what was going on
about US. We little expected what did
occur.
The vessel we have mentioned had
been moored, or made fast outside of
several canal boats, and as we stood
looking at the men upon her, one of the
number approached female, who had
been crorched upon the deck, and sd-
dressing her, pointed to the shore, then
to the bridge, and then down toward the
thronged busy streets of living, moving,
hoadlopg Chicago. She rose, picked up
a small bundle, from which she drew
forth a coin, which she rendered to the
hardy sailor. He refused it, whatever
it was, and Leading her hand, helped
her from the vessel to the dock, and
from the dock up to the bridge. By
this time large crowd Of persons bad
gathered at the north end of where the
bridge you'd be, if il was always
bridge, and in contemplating the new
faces, and the representatives Of the va
rious classes there assembled, we had al

Our Jewish Population.

The force and truthfulness Of the fol
lowing paragraphs, with reference to
our Jewish population, will be readily
admitted by all. We make the extrac,
from late number of the San Francis
CO sun
The American Jew is only less
proud of his country than his religion. =
To say that he is mere dweller upon
the soil because it affords him the m cans
of support is to libel the most noble
traits of his character. The graves of
his ancestors are around him. His heav-
en- is rs near to him on the shores of the
Pacific, as upon the sacred Mount of
Olives or within the walls of Jerusa-
lem. His God is omnipotent, omni-
present and omniscient. He has knelt
before that awful presence alike on the
deserts of Arabia and the frozen zones
of Siberia; and why should he here
where the Law recognize his religion and
his political privileges-withhold an af-
fection to which be is impelled by every
of prosperity to himself,
and future happiness his children.
His respect for our laws is shown
N the fact that he seldom violates them.
His wealth has gone toward building up
md enriching our cities. He Guilt
rates the arts, and goes heart and soul
With oar active eitizensin every useful
He quarrels but little
reads mob-never You will Gnd him
n our courts of justic, on the bench at
he bar, in the jury box, but seldom ev-
v arraigned for heinous criminal offence.
This is the American Jew. Let his
,ood qualities be imiteted-his bad ones
hould be forgotten"

Row Shall Z Go to California
Having disposed of the question
/" S lall go to California !. in our las
number, and having resolved upon going
the next important matter to be deter
mined is, " How shall go ?n We vii
give you our views from experience
We will suppose you have family tc
take along, all tough and rugged, and
are residents of a western State.
| Procure good teams, of horses, take
! four to each wagon and two extras; lei
them if practicable, be all fine mares, Of
nearly equal size, and all good and true
in harness. Let yeur wagon be an an
ordinary sized two horse lumber wagon ;
and this is your moving ft.out for four,
or not to exceed five persons.
Reach some point on the Missouri
river in time fully to recruit your ami
mails previous to entering upon the
plains Be ready to start cut from the
frst to the tenth of May, or earlier if
you have sufficient team and wagon
room to take feed along for the first
three or four hundred miles. Lay in
your entire supplies, at some point on
the Missouri river. They can be had
there in any quantity and quality. You
may get thrAngh in 90 days, but take
on stores for one hundred, unless you go
by Salt Lake as
Don't fail to take, besides the neces-
saries, some of the luxuries, such as can
fruits, meats, and preserves, even good
pickles are luxury upon the plains
Raisins and drums of fgs, you'll never
regret, and they'll all be gone much
sooner than you expect. Don't tide

jccts or scenery, however strange, won.

as We did. almost use up four fine horses
in doing 1t, but We had motive and
which we now fnd worth to US dozen
horses,) and stop at least enc day in the
week for the good of our auimals, if you
ind good feed and water; but if not,
press on till you do, aud then stop for
longer time.
Load with nothing but 2hat is roally
necessary as food aud clothing. Have

standing guard, etc. More sickness
arises from undue exposure the first
three weeks of the trip than from all
other canses put together, unless it be
the use of whiskey, or getting alkalied,
as some ladies do in crossing the plains
This is always bad, for both men and
animals.
On reaching Carson river, recruit as
long as you-choose, moving on only few
miles every day, and enter California by
the Placerville old Haugtown) route,
and on arriving you will find your ami
mails worth at least 100 per cent more
than though you had started with ponies
Or small horses We shall continue

take her two boys-Goorge and Willie,
she called them-by the hand to keep
them from danger, and then putting her
arm around the neck of the poor friend
less, wandering orphan stranger, said,

These two beings, children of the same
parents, how different have been their.
paths, and how deep their safferings -
We have seen them together in "Liz-
zie's carriage, driving along Lake street.
They are doubtless as happy as their
be; cavements, relieved only by the con-
sciousness of duty faithfully per-
formed, can permit. But while the
suffering of that father and mother may
be family known by the story of the
daughter, what must have been the men,
tai agony of that other daughter, un-
kindly banished from her mothers side,
and driven out in the world without
fathers blessing? What must have
been her grief when her letters, written |
from prosperous city, from the house
of her wealthy and kind husband, tell
ing them of her success, and of the birth |
of her children, were unnoticed aud un-
answered She must have felt indeed
that the hearts of that father and moth
er, her sister and brothers must have
been hardened against her. We will !
say no more That scene Will live in
our memory while we can remember the
holy love of father, mother, and other
Kindred ties.

absence of his cousin, led the Granadier
Company, and was about the frat man

support, and seized BY a fear. of being
blown up, they retired Young Massys

unquailing spirit of that beardless boy
ruled all around him. As evening came
on the Russians crept out of the Redan
and plundered some of the wounded, at
the same time showing kindness, and in
some instances giving water. Men, with
bayonets fxed, frequently came over
the tody of young Massy. One fellow
took away his haYresack. Sometimes
he feigned death. At other times the
pain of his wound would not permit him.
A Russian officer, with a drawn sword,
came to him and endeavored to olson
gage the sword which the young hero
still grasped Seeing that resistance
was in vain, he gave it up. The Rus
sian smiled gently and eOmpassionately
on him, fascinated, probably, by his
youth and by the bold, unfaltering gaze
which met his. When the works Of the
Redan were blown up in the night BY
the retreating Russians, the poor bay

/ Letter rom EfSS1oSnC F1e1SS.
The Letter which we publish below
was written, as its date imports, some
thing more than year ago. 1t haG
! IrsTerancc, of course, to the state o
things then existing, but it is no lcsl
applicable to that of the present time
Though written only for the perusal o.
the individual addressed, it so briefly
and SO plainly and SO we'll expresses the
views of the President upon questions o!
interest to the public, and upon which
we have differed from portion, of those
in this state with whom we have acted
politically, that we deem It's publication
at this time as not only proper, but
due to the cause in which we are engag-

common country.
WAsuISGroN, D. c., Aug. 26, 1854.
My DEAR Sir: Accept my thanks
for your kind letter or the 22d inst,
in the general views of which heartily
concur.
The members of our party can only
act together cordially and efficiently
when they can cordially recognize com
mon platform.
The principle oc " non Intervention,
which constitutes the leading feature
of the Nebraska and Kansas bill, re-
ceived the sanction of the Democracy Of
the Republic in 1852. 1t was re-afirm-
ed by more than sevon-tenths of the De-
mocracy of the House and Senate upon
the passage of the bill referred to; and
will within eighteen months furnish,
from it's inherent soundness, the strong
est issue We can tender to our oppo-
nents.
But even lift were otherwise, are we
to abandon the right, or manifest our
want of faith in the intelligence and pat
riotism of the people by significant 81
lencc.
If we, of the Northern and Middle
States, are unable to sustain ourselves
upon the ground of maintaining for, and
securing to. the people of every State
md Territory of this Union all their
constitutional rights and immunities,
,ur nominal ascendency would cease to
,e either honorable to ourselves or use
ul to the country. Besides, so far as
he Democratic party is concerned, all |
experience proves Tat every apparen:
.dvantage gained by a temporary policy,
II by concessions TO error aud fanaticism,
ave only resulted in ultimate distrac
ion and weakness. Individuals who
Iesire to retain nominally position
n the Democratic ranks, but who are
unwilling to stand upon national plat
orm, should understand, that while
he masses can well dispense with their
they cannot, silently, occu-
y doubtful position upon fundamen-
al questions affecting the cordial and
ermanent union of these States, with
ut losing public confidence, and with it
am, with high esteem, your friend,
