SNAGGING.---Capt. Lindley visited
US again yesterday. He says that i'm
medIately upon his arrival in Sacra-
mento on last Wednesday, at his sug-
gestion, the steamer Gazelle was pro-
perly fitted out, and on Thursday she
started up for the purpose of removing
the snags in Feather River. She is
under the command of Capt. Tom Stin.
son, an old, experienced steamboat
man, who is thoroughly acquainted with
the mOdas oper0nd Of snagging. Capt.
Lindley is of of opinion that with four
or five weeks favorable weather, the
worst distractions may be removed,
and the river rendered navigable to
OroviIle. This is indeed encouraging.
1t looks like commencing the good
work in earnest, and should be an in.
centivc to our citizens to meet the un-
dertaking PARKWAY Let the subscrip-
ton list be swelled to the required
amount at once, thus Offering some ems
couragement to the company in prose-
cutting the work. With the freight on
goods and merchandise reduced to such
low prices, as a steamboat could afford
to bring them for, our merchants would
be able at once to compete with deal
ers at the Bay in selling their wares,
and could thus command the trade of
the whole upper country, that now CEN
ters IN San Francisco. Let this un-
dertaking succeed, and in twelve
months, tho population and wealth of
Orov;lle will be more than doubled.

The Florida Potato.-Tho Southern

see, Florida, giving an account Of n native
root, growing wild in that State, which he
thinks bids fair to throw the famons CHI

Of the South.
ut grow, in the sandy soil Of our pine
woods, near the Gulf coast, is perennial,
with q climbing vine. and flower somewhat
resembling that of the convolvulus or
morning glory. 1t appears to lie very pro-
life, the root or potato attaining n growth,
in the first year, Of four or five inches in
diameter and ten to twelve inches in length
Aspecimen before ME has been planted about
three years, and tho root is more than thir.
teen inches in diameter, with numerous off,
shoots or radicles, and would probably
weigh from thirty to forty pounds. The
tasto is quite palatable, resembling that Of
the Irish potato more than anything else.
Swine are quite fond Of it. A,has never
been cultivated rs an article Of food, but
from its pleasant taste and prolific qualities,
I should infer that it would prove desira-
ble addition to the list of our root crops.
In their native or wild state, botl, the Irish
and sweet potato were comparatively worth
less and unproductive; but cultivation, like
the wand ofthe enchanter, has transformed
them in a wonderful manner, and we be,
hold them in universal use, acceptable alike

NON-COMMITTAL MEN.

During the reign of james H., on the
occasion Of a trial between the crown and
seven bishops Of the Church Of England,
one Michael Arnold, the brewer to His
Majesty's palace, was duly sworn upon the
jury.
Now, said Michael being non-commit-
tai man, began sorcly to realize that he
stood between two fires, which lie feared
might be equally dangerous to himself, and
he gave vent to his sorrows in these words ::
Whatever do, am sure to Le half ruin

no more for the king; and if say guilty
/ shall brew no more for anybody else"
We have just such "hrewers" all over

earth has no compcnsating good to mitigate
the severity Of our loss. But there is no
grief without some beneficcnt provision to
soften its intenseness. When the good die,
the memory Of their deeds, like the moon

we would not, if we could, dispel the dark
