Of the old citizens, We can only laugh at

When We see beardless editor assume an
Importance that his intellect win never sna-
BILE him to attain, and ike the toad in the "a

We conclude he will SOON burst without in
dividual assistance, and we take hearty
Laugh At his expense.
When we see man, without name, very
ready to SANDER and Willy his superiors, We
conclude that he received his schooling a.
mong b.ackguards and finished bis education
where he commenced tin ignorance.
When We see man scattering his venom
without discretion, or his wit without point,
We conclude there is more hope Of q fool than
% him.
When we see man Judging cause be is
ignorant of-or always ready opass sentence
against the cause that is not in tho ascend

Cal;torniu Survcys. Surveyor
Generals annual report and estimates
have reached the General Land Office,
accompanied by a very interesting typ
ographical map of The whole State. 1t
represents the various rivers, valleys,
and mountain rangcs, in connection
with the public surveyed lines. and tho
fields of new surveying operations roc.
ommended for the next fiscal year. 1t
is remarkable that the second standard
parallel moth OF the "Mount Diablo"
meridian has been surveyed east to the
source ofthe American river, near the
summit Of the Sierra Novada, the point
where, it will be remembered, the Ell.
ergetic Col. Fremont and his followers
on his first expedition, only few years
since, surrounded by snow walls, were
reduced TO the last extremity, being
compelled to sustain nature on "mule
sculptor several days. Strange instance
of American progress, that the deputy
surveyor should now. at leisure aud in
safety, stretch his chain where such
narrowing scenes, were so recently o.
nacted. The Mount Diablo principle
base line, about sixty miles south of the
above, has also been extended east,
entirely across tho Sierra Neveda to
the bottom of Carson Valley" running
into Utah Territory, which no doubt
will attract many settlers that way.

A lato notable discovery is that Of a
process of Transforming plaster Of Paris

grain, and scarcely varying from real
marble in weight, while it is impervious
To wet and cold, and is susceptible of
the highest polish. This discovery has
been made by ono of our New York
artists. Mr.. Wallace Wotherspoon, the
landscape painter. 1t has lin its pro-
ducts) been critically examined by lead
ing builders and marble workers, ard
pronounced the desideratum r.Woth-
erspoon conceived his idea while so.
journing in Italy, and after several
months chemical experiment, has fully
realized it. 1t will give the sculptor a
means, Of casting bis bust or statue, in
the most perfect counterfeit of marble,
while it is adapted forwalls and ceilings
of dwellings and will give the builder
power To put up the most elaborate
mantle and other ornaments at third
the cost ofreal marble. In truth plas.
ter Of Paris marble, promises, like flax

|, AN AMERICAN INpEEp.--The last
European mails announce to us public
ly that Mr.. George Sumner, brother of
the distinguished Senator of Massa-
chusetts, had declined high position
under the Russian government, from
an unwillingness to serve under any
but Republican form of government.
The Office which he declined, the New
York Times mentions, was that of Aid
de-Camp to the Emperor, an office
which, we need hardly inform our rea-
ders, is usually esteemed in Russia as
leading to the very highest positions of
the State.
We next hear of Mr.. Sumner at the
Congress of Statisticians in Paris, rails
ing his voice among the tools of despo-
tism in Europe, and protesting elo-
quently against the programme which
the Emperor's Minister had drawn up,
so as to preclude any discussion upon
the questions of political economy
The Austrian delegates besought the
Convention to make use of none but
Arabic figures, least rhetorical might
touch upon some Of the rotten thrones
of the decaying dynasties with which
Europe is cursed. Mr.. Sumner, back
ed, secretly at least, by many whole
hearted Frenchman, spoke for the
great Republic of the West word for
science and for truth.

Since our last the feeling in the hog

Holders are unwilling to accede to this
decline, and hence we hear of no sales.
There is not moro than 1000 unsold in

isu'nOrea "a aadlItg Fbea
tween England 81 tho q. States.

An announcement by the London
Times that, "thc English government
is emitting no opportunity Of reinforc-
ing the West India squadron, and thus
intcrposing a powerful feet between
this country and The American CONT
ncnt, has created no little alarm and
excitement in that country, and apprc-
tensions elsewhere of rupture be-
tween the two great commercial nations
Of the world. Spectators in stocks
the bears" nave also cndeavorcd to
increase the apprehension with view
to knock down stocks but men Of COM
mon sense and common disccrnmcnt
must laugh at all this "much ado a.
bout nothing" They cannot but per-
ccivc that there is not only no misun.
dcrstanding between the two govern
mcnts, but really no ground for any,
whatever, and none is likely to take
place. ..
The London Times is Just now q lit
tie bilious towards the United States,
as it has generally been any time for
the last fifty years, and gives vent to
its spleen in an intmation not founded
in truth, that there is to be quarrel
between tho two nations. The Times
is in ill-humor on account Of the sup
posed sympathies of the people Of the
United States for Russia in her contest
with Turkey and the Allies. IF any
such sympathy exists, as it undoubted-
~ does, among portion of the pco-
pic, while contrary sympathy is felt
by another portion Of the people of
this country, the Times and other pa
pers, which have 50 long indulgod
themselves in sncering at us, may
thank themselves for it.
Suppose the English government
shall reinforce their West India squad
ron, who cares? They will not have
the tcmcrity to NEEDLE with us, had
they the disposition, which we by no
means, believe they lave. There has
been no misunderstanding between the
two governments, and, Of course, no
angry discussions, II is nothing but 81
