ORovLLE LYCEUM.-We had the pleas
ure on Tuesday evening, of being present at
the Lyceum held at the Court House. The
debate was opened by the Rev. Mr.. Burton,
in the affirmative. who was followed by Mr..
S. Rosenbaum, in the negative, after which,
the question was discussed by several other
members of the Lyceum, who conducted the
debate with great credit to themselves. We
we're especially struck with the speech Of
Mr.. A. d. Refs, and as we understand this
to have been his maiden speech, he shows
great promise of becoming an eloquent
speaker. He handled the subject in mas
terly manner, and were it not for his embar-
rassment, so natural to all young speakers,
we should pronounce his the best of the eve
ming. -.

The Dny we Celebrate.
Christmas has come! Throughout the
land is sung that grand old anthem,

Christmas has come! Throughout the
land is sung that grand old anthem,
''Joy to the world, the Lord has come"
and what host of voices join in the chorus
The whole Christian world hail this as a
general holiday, and by common consent,
the millions of Christian Europe and Amer
lea rest from their labors to do homage to
the memory of Him who died for all. Such
is the purpose for which the day is set apart,
and let us hope that amid the merry ma
kings incident to the occasion, the sacred
object is not forgotten.
How many heart is gladdened at a
christmas Gift" and how many a sad, neg
ected creatures heart yearns in its bitter
ness for some little token that on this hap
py" day it is cared for and loved and how
many q poor, lone lad goes supperless and
pennless to his wretched bed to weep, that
amid all this happiness he is unblessed with
even one little bauble to make it a merry
Christmas to him. What heart break
ing, fearful day is this season of merry ma
king and thanksgiving to many a homeless
orphan, and what a mockery are its sounds
of joy, its merry chime of bells, and the
shouts of happy girls and boys.
What bitter day must Christmas be to
the wretched being who is chained within
his cell awaiting a certain doom. when rec
objections Of his boyhood's merry Christmas
contrast themselves with this awful return
of the day, the last on earth For him. What
Christmas gift would liberty be to him!
But we are making but sorry Christmas
carol for our readers by this recurrence to
the woes and sutferings, rather than to the
joys and comforts, that characterize to-day.
We are surrounded by many means Of ma
king ourselves happy, and let us enjoy them
as best we can Thank Heaven, instances
of penury and want are comparatively few
in this our golden State. and if general
prosperity and comfort make it meet that we
should "make merry and be glad" truly
we as people should hail to-day as a most
merry Christmas, and may it indeed prove
such to us each and all.
We greet you our readers, with the usual
salutation, and hope you may all live to en-
joy many another return Of this anniversa-
ry; and may every one of you be blessed
with Christmas gifts to your hearts content;
may every man. woman and child, expert.
ence their fullest anticipations Of joy.
We wish " duck of bonnet" or :" love
of DRESS" to every lady in the land, wife
and hundred and sixty acres of land to
every gentleman, and dolls, rocking horses,
drum and pop guns without number to ev-
cry little boy and girl whose mothers feel
no objection to their having such things, ,and
finally we again reiterate,a MERRY CHRIST
MAS TO ALL.

QUARTZ SPECIMEN. We were shown
yesterday most beautiful piece of quartz /,
mixed and very heavily laden with gold,
which was taken from the sluice- box on Mr
James NJ. Moore's claim, situated neor the
road leading from the ferry to Thompson
Flat. The gross weight of the piece is eight
and half ounces, and supposed to contain
some FIVE or six ounces of gold
1t is supposed to be a fragment from some
quartz ledge in that vicinity, for which they
have already commenced prospecting.

The merchants of San Francisco
appear determined to do something to
regain the confidence and position
they lost in their action on the Vigi-
lance issue. Thinking they had an
opportunity to take the lead in a
great and important measure, they
called a meeting of merchants to take
grounds against repudiating the State
debt. But the meeting was fizzle.
1t was attended by thirty of the
"purest and BEST" and when the
vote was taken two voted in favor of
repudiation, leaving % Vigilantes in
San Francisco who have declared that
they are not in favor of repudiating
the State debt. That is % better
than we had expected from Vigi-
lanceism. Pretty good! Ten right
eous men would have saved Sodom,
and who knows but what these %
may save San Francisco

WEATHER IN THE MOUNTAINS Capt.
Burnham, who arrived in town yesterday
from Canon Creek informs us that the wealth
er has recently been so excessively cold in
that vicinity, as to cause general suspen-
sion of mining operations. lie says that the
temperature has several times fallen as low
as five degrees below zero. In consequence
of the extreme cold, the snow remains loose
and subject to the action of the winds, ma
king it impossible to keep open trails. thus
rendering travelling from one point to anoth-
er both difficult and dangerous. Little will
be done in mining until the spring opens,
when water will probably be very abundant.

In the meantime, we wish the Leg
islaturc to bear in mind the fact that
the City of San Francisco has fur,
nished every u. S. Senator that Cal
ifornia has had. The members from
the northern counties should be uni
ted in demanding that one of the
Senators be chosen from the northern
portion of the State. Let them
spurn any and every proposition that
does not give the north a Senator;
do their duty to their constituents,
and learn the southern portion of the
State to respect their rights.
IT is the opinion of some of the
California Journals that Walker and
his followers are about gone in.-
They assert that he has displayed
great lack of Generalship, and that
his officers and men have lost all con-
fdence in him. 1t is asserted also,
that his policy in having Generals
Corral and Salazar shot, has embit-
tered the whole native population
against him, and that the war in Mic
aragua has resolved itself into q war
of races, and that one or the other
must be eXterminated. The princi-
pal reason given for arriving at this
conclusion, is the fact that Col. c. f.
Pickett, a very clever gentleman and
formerly warm supporter of Gen.
Walker, has abandoned him, and is
now of the opinion that he cannot
succeed. This may be very good
reason for those Journals who have
opposed Walker from the first, but
to us it appears to be very himsey
one indeed. He could not succeed
by encouraging traitors, and if in dis
posing of them he has raised a war
of races, who doubts but that the uni
versal Yankee nation will come off tri-

Topics OF the Day.

The arrival of Ex-Governor Bigler
In California has been a perfect God
send to the Black Republican and
know-Nothing press. His reception
in Sacramento by a large body of his
fellow citizens has furnished the I'm
ion, American and Times, with
prolific theme, and they turn from
the great "Mystery," the legitimate
offspring of their own ignorance, to
ridicule and abuse the Ex-Governor,
and those of their fellow citizens who
turned out to welcome to Sacramento
an upright citizen and one of its pio-
neers. Their remarkably shrewd,
chaste and elegant articles about the
Ex-Governor and his reception at his
home In Sacramento, are precisely
such as might reasonably have been
expected from those politically unfair,
dishonorable, and inelegant sheets.
John Bigler was Governor of Cali
fornia for four years, whilst such pa
pers were ridiculing and slandering
him. He is still above their shafts of
envy, malice, and Lager Beer wit.
Let them howl on. Such articles
are congenial to the tastes of their
authors, and have long since rendered
those sheets incapable of injuring
any one. They require the excite
ment of personal invective to cover
their confusion, caused by their grand
display Of unmitigated ignorance
over the "Mystery."
A CORRESPONDENT of the Marys-
vile Express who signs himself "Na-
tional Democrat" is out against
Mr.. Brodcrick and in favor of Mr..
Weller, for Senator. 1t is proper
that this correspondent should prefer
whoever he pleases for that station,
but it seems to us highly improper
for Democrat to abuse other men,
bers of the party because they ex-
hibit like honorable ambition as
his particular fayoritcs. The party
during the late canvass were united
upon the principles Of the campaign,
but such "National Democrats as
this correspondent of the Express,
would divide the party by quarrelling
over the spoils, and raking up old
feuds, and retailing old SANDERS, long
since buried, and upon the grave of
which the Democratic party have
held two State Conventions, and over
which they have carried the Demo
cratic banner in triumph. No true
National Democrat, who is governed
by principle, should again rake up
the old feuds, and seek to divide the
party for the purpose of securing the
snoils. II matters not how much
correspondents may urge the claims
and peculiar fitness of their favorites
for that position, but their influence
should be powerless for good or evil,
when they seek to make political
capital by traducing and villifying
members of their own party.
As National Democrat" has
thrown his banner to the breeze, and
declared ''war to the knife, and knife
to the hilt," in opposition to all who
are candidates against his favorites,
weshould like to have him give cat
egorical answers to the following in
terrogatories:
