Gfs- Dir. L. J. CzAPKAY, of San Francisco, feel
ing confident of success, from his extensive scicn-
tihc requirements and long experience, is willing to
guarantee in all cases Of private and chronic
disease. This is the proper plan upon which Ply
sician should practice, as it at once destroys all
chances of imposition, and requires the patient to
pay for no benefit he does not receive Beside this
the DR. has offered free consultation, by letter or
otherwise and the patient is at liberty after an ex
PLANTATION OF his disease to secure the Drs services
or otherwise, as may seem to him best
Now, we regard these things as characteristic of
liberal minded man, and one who has that conf
dence in himself which his heretofore successful
practice has given. We are pleased to bear testi-
mlony to his qualities as physician and gentleman
II such testimony were needed, and would recon-
mend him to the iniirm as man in whom they may
place the utmost confidence The Doctors rooms

MARRYING IN CALlFoRNIA.-The Golden
Era of yesterday contained some very whole
some pieces of advice to ladies Of modest ex-
pcctations in San Francisco. Listen, ye bellies,
to timely warning:
Why females in California do not more
readily command good husbands can be at
tributed as much 1--WE ought to say more) to
the outrageous value which they put upon
themselves, as TO want of resolution in the
men. They come here with the modest ex-
pectaiion of marrying barrel of dou' l.
eagles, and selecting from a battalion of sui
tors, and it takes them some time to learn to
hope for anything here. A wife, for instance,
that, that an honest mechanic might select as
his equal, would scorn his overtures, while
such an one would listen to him, Satan him
self wouldn't have.

clustering.

The English journals are clustering most
ridiculously on the question Of war with the
United States. The London papers say that
one broadside from the British feet will
blow the American navy out Of water; that
in the event of war, they will take formal
possession of every city on the Atlantic and
Pacific, the Northern Lakes, and the Gulf
of Mexico that they will "whip us out Of
our boots on the Canadian frontiers; raise q
negro insurrection in the South, and have all
the whites put to the sword; and finally, that
they will wind up" the American Republic!
In single article appearing in the Lon
don Telegraph, all these points (and many
other miner ones) are made i is che of the
pest illustrations of English conceit ever
placed on paper We have not space, even
had we the disposition, to argue the several
points. By-the-by, we notice with pleasure
the marked contrast between the tone of the
leading English and the leading American
press; the conductors Of the latter journals
"keep their tempers,' as they should do
Braggadocio may do for imbecile, gouty,
aristocratic Britain; but not for young, Wig
orous, democratic America.
Let but the British Minintry back up these
vain boastings; let them go to war with us
as quick as they please. Twice have they
tried us already-once when we were in
childhood, and the second time when we were
only in our YOUTH and its reasonable to sup
pose that upon a third occasion, when We
have grown to the full vigor Of manhood,
they will hardly be able to either blow us
out of water or "wind up the Republic"
The British had better finish up with Russia
before they try on" the western world
In three months after the first alarm is givenin
this country, million of bayonets will bristle
in the sun, and million of volunteers know
ing no fear will be marching to the rescue Of
American institutions.

THE PRosPEcT OF WAR-The last steamer
brought still further rumors of war between
the United States and England. Nothing
definite however; and nothing calculated to
produce more than very slight autter in the
nerves of the most timd. There is no doubt
a bad feeling and deal Of misunderstanding;
but the people of England do not desire to
measure the strength Of their arms with ours,
and English rulers will scarcely dare to
thwart their will. However, if either the
English people or the English government
desire to fight, all they have to do is to
pitch in' This is the sentiment on this side

We perfectly agree with our cotemporary,

The labored efforts Of the Sentinel to bring
into disrepute the town Of Volcano and its
citizens will not avail Whenever anything
exists in this community that should be re-
formed, we do not hesitate to speak of it,
aud recommended such means as are calcu-
lated to correct the evil and it were better
for many other towns in the country if such
matters were freely spoken of and such re-
concentrations freely made. But this gives
no ground for wholesale assertion that
"many low, filthy dens of crime and iniquity
are permanently located" in this place, or
that there is any onward march of immor-
ality in Volcano" We ask the citizens of
Voleano the citizens of AmadOr county To
the Sentinel for its groundless
ISLANDERS. Let strangers come and see for
themseves-let them come on the Sabbath
day or any other day of the week, and they
will find the town of Volcano made up of a
community as moral, yea, and as religious, as
any other town in the mountains. Were we
so disposed we might retaliate; but we have
no disposition to appropriate for the Ledger
