to supply families for domestic purposes, for
garden irrigation. and for watering the streets.
The population of Columbia is estimated in
the Tuolumne county directory, from which we
draw most of our statistics, at about five thou
sand. including two hundred families. But We
should think it an over estimate. The town it.
self. cannot, in our estimation, number over
twenty-five hundred to three thousand. ltcon-
tains probably over one hundred business, hous
es shops. saloons, stables, DC, and among them
may be seen over thirty brick Gre-proof stores
The first church organization was by the
Methodsts; they we're soon followed by he
Presbyterians, and both denominations now are
in possession of comfortable houses for worship
In addition to the other churches, we may name
the Catholic as numbering the most communi-
cants, and they are erecting large and inpos-
ing brick church on an eminence short dis
lance south of the town. 1t is seventy feet by
sixty on the ground, and the walls were up a
month since.
The diggings around Columbia are deep, and,
from appearance, one would judge cannot be
exhausted for years Claims have been worked
for years, and pay equally as rich now as when
first opened. Some Of them in Columbia gulch
have been sunk sixty and seventy feet without
reaching bed rock the dirt paying all the way
down and how much lower it will pay is not
known In the wet season it is difficult to work
these deep claims; they are worked to the best
advantage in the summer, so long as water car
be obtained FROM the water companies. The
paying dirt is kind of clay, which cannot be
washed until after it is dried. The miners clear
away a level place, and then spread their dir
to dry in the sun, as brick maker does his
brick So soon as it becomes thoroughly dry
it dissolvcs almost as easily as salt when put in
to water. When first dug, the water rolls it uF
into balls instead of dissolving it. All the dig
gings around the town present the same gener
N features. among which the limestone boulbers

REPuBIIcANIsM.--Th True Californian makes
some remarks upon republicanisnf in ancient
and modern times, and shows the effect which
general public education has upon it in our own
country.
1t has long been the opinion of the most phil
anthropic writer's on political science. that
rebuplican government could exist no longer
than whilst the majority was pure. 1t was ar
gued by Montesquieu, that republics are the most
short-lived of nations. on this very account; and
that whenever the officials become corrupt, dis
order and anarchy must eusue and the people
lose their liberties by usurpation. Ard such.
40 doubt. was the true reading of the history Of
the ancient republics. But new element has
come in with a new race. Public Schools arc
now the Inheritance of the Anglo-Amer can. and
intelligence is the basis of power. The people
are educated, therefore, they are free. American
citizens differ from Athenian or Roman citizens.
as widely as newspaper differs from labored
manuscript. The Roman knew nothing of lib
erty except what Cicero or Cato chose to tell
him in the forum. Ignorance was the rule, in
talligence the exception. Types have revolt
tionized the world, and the prn er's devil is the
modern Archimedes: with the lever of a steam
press he lifts up the world. Hence the reasoning
drawn from ancient history. in its applicability
to America, must be erroneous. A magistracy
may be corrupt, and yet the people maintain
all their constitutional rights.
Indeed, we have a living example of this truth
before Us to-day, in this very city

Genius Dead.

UcHItIS Ac0As
No tears for him his light was not your light
From earth to heaven his spirit went and came
Seeing, where We but the blank black night
The golden breaking of the day of fame
Faded by the divner life and worm,
Dust hast returned 10 dust, and what ye see
Is but he ruined house wherein were borne
The 5irth-pangs of his immortality.
Hther and thither drifting 1rearily,
The glory of serener worlds he won
As some strange shifting column of the sea
Catches the steadfast splendor of the sun.
What was your shallow love or what the CLEAN
OF smiles that chance and accident could chill,
To him whose soul could make its mate dream
And wander through the universe at WHIP
When your weak hearts TO stormy passion woke,
His. from its loitier bent was only stirred,
Is IS the broad green bosom of the oak
BY the light lutter of the summer bird
His joys in realms forbidden to you, he sought,
And bodiless seryitors at his commands
lowered about the watchires of bis thought
On the dim borders OF poetic lands.
The times he lived in, Ike hard. dar,, wall,
He grandly painted with his woes and wrongs
Come nearer, friends, AMI see how brightly all
Is joined with silfery mortices Of songs.
Weep for yourselves bereft. but not for him
Wrong reaches TO the compromising right,
And clouds that make the day of genius dim,
Shine at sunset with an eternal light.
