ate, and the genie thereaway will conde-
scend to be more good ffatured and inclin-
ed to treat their fellow citfzefi tax payers
more justice, and less wasteful extrava-

exercise more christian humanity to the
Chinafheh; who would be of great use tn
the State in ctltivating with sugar, cote n
and rice, the now useless. and mosquito
infested tule lands where no white man
can ever work and live. We could pick
out hundred Virginia, Carolina and Lou
isiana planters, genie decente, honrddo, tror-
dcosa, who would set this steam mill Of
overffowing prosperity in FIVE short wears.
And 1t would break no mans back. How
ever let us see what the descendants of the
barnburners and spiteful sqdatters who
row misrule us, will affect, with their new
tangled notions. and their Unconstitutional
laws and agrarian mad pranks. We may
be sure that their doings will end, as they
have ever ended else@ here, IN breaking
down vested rights for Awhile, running
themselves and filling the pockets of de-
lighted Court officers, and the merry ex
pectant army of polite lawyers. They
will be the rich men in twenty years moro
the squatters and land claimants will then
be meatless bone And over that bone;
their children will ever quarrel. But its
no use to reason with them, they will have

but in twenty-four hours entirely rebuilt,
new and substantial houses constituted of
the very best No. sheeting, or of the
lofty grisewood, having sprung up like the
palace of Aladdin, OF the wonderful city of
Hoboken, on the Rio de los Americanos,
"a river known to the ancients in 1s49 J
Of course the true secret of our prosperity
is the great richness Of our gold fields
The diggings lie on the banks of the ST.
loostreme, whose waters are abundant for
the wants of our immense population.
The pay dirt is about one hundred feet
deep, and is not thought remarkably rich
if it does not pay SO.
The miners generally commence work:
ing on the top of the bank and wash down
until they get to the bottom, when they
stop, unless it appears that the lead strikes
through. The method of working tunnel
claims however, is different, and is called
the magnetic power; as follows: A live
Yankee is placed in the tunnel afer good
prospect has been obtained, and such is
the attachment he has for the precious
metal that he will not leave until he is
loaded, and has to be pulled out. They
sometimes die under this process, but your
true ankee thinks nothing of dying once
in while for money! so the magnetic plan
continues to draw.
After this description, you will not be
surprised when inform you, that in ore
month there has been taken from these
diggings something less than S 10 900 900!
An amount greater than was ever taken
out in the same time from any other
mines in California.
I need offer no greater inducemert to
persons recently arrived in the State, who
are seeking location for either mining or
trading purposes. This should be sufi-
cient to make them decide IN favor of Hy-
falutinville. Although there is already
large population and more stores here
than are supported, there is still room for
all who wish to make permanent invest
ment of capital. We hopea regard for
their own interests and those of our trades
men will decide adventurers to visit our
town.
At some future period Of time, if not
killed by the magnetic plan, will write
further Oh this subject; until then I am

THE Love OF BEAUTY.-We are indebt-
ed to the New York Crayon for these in;
teresting thoughts aside:
''Every one who passes through the
upper part of our city must have noticed
the large, isolated house at The corner of
Nineteenth street and Broadway. There
rs large space of vacant ground around
it covered with rich s#ard, land here
are always more or less beautiful domes-
ticated birds-peacocks; both white and
of ordinary color, and birds of new and
strange kinds to US. We have often stopr
ped to admire them, and never without q
feeling of gratitude and respect to the un-
known dwellers there, which we never felt
towards those who displayed any extent
of wealth on their houses and equipage.
Useless in an economical point of view
as these birds were, they testified to q
genuine love of beauty in those Who
owned them, we were going to say, but
ownership comes harshls into connection
with beauty-placed them there, and cher
ish and maintain them for that value alone.
testimony which produced an involunta-
ry feeling of reverence for the occupants
of the house. The yard is worth, to every
living soul, all the marble and freestone
house fronts in New York city. Passing
by there few days since, we were de-
lighted to see large number of our COM
mon quails, which are generally supposed
to be beyond the power of domestication;
but there they were, running about in the
grass like so many little chickens, as beau
tiful as it is possible for birds to be, as
matte and fearless as children. We want
ed to climb the fence and lie down in the
grass to pet them:
The sight suggested some idea with re-
gard to tie influence of beauty on the hui
man mind, which we would like to see full
ly explained and illustrated by experiences,
Does not the love of beauty, such as man
ifested by the dWellers in that house, give
a power over even the animal creation.
which, in this case, lured and lulled the
qualls Into tameness and domesticity2 Is
there not some influence emanating from
minds that love the beautiful purely, which
silences even the natural and instructive
timorousness of wild birds and BEASTS
We hope so-nay, we believe so. How
much better were it that we could draw
living beauty around US than to empano-
ply ourselves with the ornaments of pride
and mere money displayed. We. hope
that those who placed those birds there
enjoy the sight Of them as much as We
did"

ARTEsIAN WELLS AT MARYsv1LLE.-An
Artesian Well-boring company has been
projected at Marysville. The Inquirer
gives the following statistical information
on the subject:
There are several water carts in Mafss-
vile, supplying stores, family residences,
&c, with water daily. The aggreoats
amount paid fot said water exceeds fifteen
hurtdfed dollars per week, or six thousand
dollars per month. There is an Artesiafl
well commenced on the other side of the
river, at Beach's, and is now over three
hundred feet in depth at cost Of fifteen
hundred dollars this will Average hSe
dollars per foot for its sinking. From the
nature of the soil it is reasonable to sip
pose that the oolite rock can there be
reached by boring to the depth OF five OF
six hundred feet. We believe there arc
