CALIFORNIA BITUMINOUs COAL.-A mine
of bituminous coal has been discovered re-
Gently on Feather River, between Marys-
vile and Bidwel's Bar, at the western base
of the foot hills. The vein has been traced
eighteen miles among the mountains by
sinking shafts, and is from six to eight feet
in depth, and about eighteen feet wide. 1t
is unknown how much farther the vein eX-
tends, but is in all probability interminable
and inexhaustible.
The coal is represented as being ofa very
superior quality-unmiXed with slate OF
other impurities common in most coal mines
and Of a quality vastly superior to that usu-
ally shipped to this country from either
England, South America, or the United
States. 1t burns readily and emits bright
light and intense heat, leaving deposit ol
fine ashes.
This is the most important discovery, il
mechanical and commercial point of view
at least so far as California is concerned
that has ever been made within this State
1t will, we hope, be but a short time un
til the importation of this article will cease
and on the contrary we may be able to eX
port to other countries millions Of tons an
nually.
The discovery of coal in California will
we doubt not, be welcomed with delight by
all the industrial classes, who from their oc
cupation are compelled to use this valuable
article, aud we hope to be able ere long tt
chronicle the market price Of coal at tel
dollars ton, instead Of forty.
We understand that our riual nelghbor
in view of its close proximity to this mine
the facility with which the coal can be con
veyed to that point, and at a price so mucl
below that paid for the imported article, in
tends through its representative Coun
cil-to enter into contract with a certain
party to light the city with gas. We shal
look forward to that time with much anXl
ETY., because we have for long time be
lieved our Marysyille friends were in neet
of more light. State Journal

The following poetry will doubtless touch the
heart Of many poor, weary traveller in Califor-
MA. 1t is from the Cincinnati Dollar Times:
Tn Coming Home, Beloved.
I'm coming home, beloved, home to the heart
whose love
Hath lighted mine through all these weary years
To bring fruition to the hopes that in my truth
Are anchored, and dispel thy future fears
I'm coming home, beloved, to lay my armor down
And hide my sword within its bloody sheath
And let thy hand wipe off the stain of human gore
Which dims the brightness of the victor's
wreath.
I'm coming home, beloved, rich in the fame l
sought
But richer far in precious mem 'ries whose light
Unborrow'd and undim'd, hath kept perpetual
Summer in my else all-cheerless night.
For have dwelt, beloved, mid scenes thy wo-
mans heart
Would bleed to know-so drenched in misery
And but for thee | would have laid my head upon
The greedy earth, and craved eternity!
I'm coming home, beloved, and let thy music
tones
Be first to greet me as they were the last;
l would not have a strangers voice dispel the
Which have pictured in the lonely past.
And let thy step, beloved, bound lightly down
the path
That winds, mid flowers, to the garden gate,
The bright flush on thy cheek, the old light in
thine eye,
Thy young, high heart, with throbbing joy
elate.
And let it be, beloved, when night, with dewy
touch,
Spreads her soft veil across the slumbering
earth;
When birds forget their music, and the pale flow
Are folded back to beds which gave them birth
How have yearned, beloved, to meet thee thus
again;
To find thy winning tenderness my strength
To see the mist and shadows Of departing years
Fade in the brightness which has come at length
I'm coming home, beloved-HoME!-a sound so
rich
In promise to a soldiers l)nging heart
A mem'ry so embalmed, vision so divine,
1t only finds in Heaven its counterpart.

The KINNEY COLONY IN CENTRAL AMER.
ICA.-The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald, under date of December
22d, thus writes Of this project:
The projected colonizing expedition of
Colonel Kinney to Central America is en-
citing quite sensation here as well as else
where. 1t is generally believed that the
Administration is virtually pledged to see
Colonel Kinney safely installed in his new
Republic. Unquestionably the Kitchen
Cabinet hold large amount of sympathy
and perhaps, also, of stock, in this grand
adventure. The plan is to send down one
or two thousand men, armed and equipped,
to plant the colony. Having first obtained
foothold in the Mosquito purchase, they
are forthwith to begin 'the extension Of the
area of freedom, and to keep it up till all
the Central American States are absorbed
in this Cooper, Cost johnson, and Kinney
republic
The sinews of war are to be derived from
the stock of the thirty-ive million acre
tract, which the company suppose they own
down there. 1t is also understood here that
Secretary Dobbin is to make diversion in
favor Of the new colony, in the concentra-
ton of all the available ships of the home
squadron, as check upon the English and
French, whose naval force in that quarter.
as you are well aware, is in process of being
largely increased. So you see that in this
Kinney scheme we have the promising nest
egg for naval collision with France and
England. Thus, too, you will perceive the
bombardment of Greytown had meaning
init, and an object in view of the largest d.
menslons, and Of the most belligerent char
acter,

SALMON FALLS, Jan. %, 1855.
EDITOR GEORGETOWN NEws:-In your
paper of Thursday last notice an article
entitled Delightful Prospect" in which the
MOrmons are represented as being the most
immoral, sensual and icentious people on
earth-subjects not fit for civilized society.
Now [ must beg leave to assure the editor
of the News that his statements in regard
to that people are far from the facts. That
the Mormons as a community practice Ii
centiousness, or even countenance it, has not
the least foundation in truth. And we pre-
sumo the members of the Assembly are well
acquainted with the character of the Nor
mons as a people, and are willing to ac-
knowledge their rights in common with
other American citizens, and not being
bound down by sectarian prejudices, they
were as ready to support Mormon Elder
who deports himself as good citizen, for
Chaplain, as any others. The whole tenor
of the article is misrepresentation Of the
facts and does great injustice to that peo-
pie. If the position assumed by the News
be correct, then must all the old Patriarchs
have been of that licentious character; for
the privilege of having q plurality of wives
was given by God himself through reyela-
ton, and then and there declared to be just
and true, if we are to believe the Bible; and
nowhere in that sacred book is a plurality
of wives forbidden, but were given under
certain restrictions; and if the editor of the
News will inform himself, he will find that
the Mormons are as strict in these things
as ever the Patriarchs of old were Adul-
terry, fornication, and their kindred practi-
ces are as severely punished among that
people as anywhere else.
We hope the editor of the News will be
no less ready to do that people justice than
any others. Yours, respectfully,
D. MCCOY.

From Crescent CITY.

BY the Columbia we are in receipt of the
Crescent City Herald to Jan. 10, from
which we learn that there had been an en-
counter between the Klamath Rangers and
the Indians.
The INDIANs.-In the account we gave
in our last number Of the encounter with
the Indians, we had mentioned only the
klamath" Rangers; whereas, as we have
since been informed, the two companies OF
Coast and klamath" took jointly part
in the affair.
Amongst the conflicting opinions and
statements, it is difficult to arrive at Just
conclusions as to the merits of the late Indi-
an affair. The dangers to the settlers in
Smith river valley was, however, real and
sufficiently evidenced by tue data enumera-
ted in our last number. We understand
that treaty has now been made with the
few Indians in Smith river valley, and an
other treaty is about being negotiated with
those at the Lagoon, by which they will be
required to deliver up what firearms and
ammunition they may possess.
We notice with great reluctance rumor
| that some individuals threatened to Kill or
hunt down Indians even within the limits
of the city, and that in one instance an In
dian scalp was publicly exhibited as tro-
ply. We could hardly believe that white
men could thus far forget themselves and
outrage public decency in this savage man
ner. We are confident that the officers OF
the Coast and Klamath Rangers discounte-
nance such cruelties, and will use every eff
fort to prevent their occurrence. 1t is a
duty for which the public will hold them
justly responsible Herald.
GETTING Rich A DUTY-The Lowell
(Mass.) Courier breaches the following doc
trine:
every man owes it to society to become
rich, for the poor mans advice is never
| needed, let it be ever so valuable. The
more wise one may be, the more he owes to
his country to become rich. Every addi-
tion made to mans fortune adds ten per
cent. to his influence. Let man throw a
doubloon On the counter, and every one will
want to hear it ring. Throw cent down,
however, and its voice would prove no more
attractive than poor relations"
