From the National Era.
The Pass of the Sierra.

The Pass of the Sierra.
All night above their rocky bed
They saw the stars march slow;
The wild Sierra overhead,
The deserts death below.
The Indian from his lodge of bark,
The grey bear from his den,
Beyond their camp p-fres wall of dark;
Glarod on the mountain men.
Still upward turned, with anxious strain
Their leaders slecplcss eye,
Where splntcrs of the mountain chain
Stood black against the sky.
The night wancd slow at last glow,
A CLEAN of sudden fire,
Shot up behind the walls of snow,
And tipped each icy spire.
"Up, menl" he cried, yon rocky comb,
To. day, please God, wen pass,
And look from Winters frozen home
On summers flowers and grass !"
They set their faces to the blast,
They trod tn eternal snow,
And FAINT, worn, bleeding hailed at last
The promised land below.
Behind they saw the snow cloud tossed
By many an icy horn;
Before, warm valleys, wood embossed,
And green with vines and corn.
They left the Winter at their backs,
To flap his baillcd wing,
And downward, with the cataracts,
Ledpcd to the lap of Spring.
Strong leader of that noble band
Another task remains,
To break from Slavery's desert land,
path to Freedoms plains
The winds are wild, the way is drear,
Yet, flashing through the night,
Lo! icy ridge and rocky spear,
Blaze out in morning light!
Rise up, Fremont and go before;
The Hour must have its Mani
Put on the hunting. shirt once more,
And lead in Freedoms van

G5y- We paid visit the other day TO the
match factory of Burhans & Co., corner of Val
ley and Seventh sts. They have this summer
erected fine three story building, now just COM
plcted The first story is Of stone, sand the 9TH
er two Of brick. 1t is largesand substantial.
They are putting into it larger engine than the
one heretofore used this being the third time,
within year, that they have changed engines,
each time requiring more power. And, in order
to increase their facilities aud enable them to fill
their orders, they have procured from New lork
a very valuable patented machine which is eapa-
BILE of splitting, in the very best manner, forty
thoasdnd matches per minute This it does, and
also mats the ends, so that they remain in
blocks, thus saving very large annual expend-
iture for glue, heretofore used for this purpose.
Ia On the first floor of the factory are buz saws,
for cutting the timber in proper sized blocks,
and the splitting machine, engine, &c On the
second floor the matches, in sections, are prop
erly prepared for use, ana placed in boxes. The
third floor is devoted entirelyto the manufacture
of boxes After the labels have been pasted
upon them, they are passed down through spouts
to the second floor, where they are filled and
put up in larger packages for SALE.
Mr. Burhans informs us that when he gets
fairly under way, every thing in order and work
ing as he has good re to anticipate, he shall
use up one thousand feet OF pine lumber per day
and employ thirty hands! ~ f -,sr5ss
Some eight or ten years ago, Mr.. Burhans
came here and commenced manufacturing
matches, doing all the work by, hand and doing
it himself, even to peddiing them The capital
employed was nothingto speak of, and sales
anything but large. He almost despared, but

would never do to give it up so. He continued,
