The DISTANCE OF THE Sun FROM THE EARTH
INCBEAsING.-'Ihe German journals have
given some tables which prove that the dis
tance between the earth and sun is increasing
annually, and argue from it that the incrcaa-
ing humidity Of our summers and the loss OF
fertility by the earth, are to be attributed
solely to this circumstance,
No credit has heretofore been given to
traditions Of ancient Egyptians and Chinese,
according to which these people formerly
said the SUMS disc was almost four times a,
large as we now see it, for they estimated
the apparent diameter Of the sun as double
OF what it is seen IN orr day.
Ii, however, we pay attention to the con
unued dimlnutlon OF the apparent diameter
oI the san, according to the best observation
OF several centuries, we must suppose that
the ancionts were not mistaken in the est-
mates they have transmitted to us
In the course Of six thousand years from
the present time, they assume that the dis
tance will be 50 great that only an eighth
part Of the warmth we now enjoy from the
sun viii be communicated to the earth, and
it will then be covered with eternal ice in
the same manner as we now see the plains
Of the north, where the elephant formerly
lived, and have neither spring nor autumn.

Mr.. EDITOR Journal: | have a few words
to say in regard to our little community,
numbering about 400 men, 8 women, three
of whom are marrjageaJie young ladies, and
some children, together with a right smart
sprinkling' of the aborgines Some of us
are funny, frolicsome, and somewhat inclined
to deviltry, Others are staid and sober-sid-
ed individuals, of which class your humble
correspondent is a member in good standing
These do not include the forest cheldren, who
have character of their own, having a de-
cided antipathy for drunken men with reyo-
vers, hard work, and the Indian Agent, and
an innate fondness for red blankets, -four,
beef, and young clover.
Now that energy and public spirit should
abound in such a community, is not strange,
or more than would be looked for, and that
they do abound, needs no stronger proof
than the naming of our numerous works and
fixtures for the development of our mining
resources. Weaver & Co.'s Elevating Wa
ter-Wheel, is the largest and best work of
the kind in Trinity Co., raising six sluice-
heads of water to the height of thirty feet.

cate that the American people have chosen

Offices in their gift Contrary to all our ex-

bowed to "squatter sovereignty" A marvel

is marvellous, in our eyes, that any portion OF
the American people have acquiesced in pol

States, in the not distant future, into political
and social pandemonium BE it so, if the
people win it.
