DRIVING NAILs-It requires some In
genuity, or at least experience, to drive a
cut nail into hard wood without bending
it. The entrance of nail will be much
facilitated by first dipping it into OIL or,
what will answer nearly as WELL wet it
with water or saliva. Experienced car
penters are in the habit of putting nail
into the mouth to wet it before attempting
to drive it into hard wood. When a nail
is to remain permanently, salt water or sa-
liva IS preferable to oil, as the former will
rust the nail and cause it to take a firmer
hold. In all cases, it is better to insert \
nail so that its widest diameter shall stand
parallel with the grain of wood. This is
generally done in thin boards where there
is danger of splitting, but it should always
be done, even if mailing into a solid piece
of timber, for where a rupture does not
take place by setting the wide part of the
nail across the grain, yet slight opening
is produced near the nail, which admits
air and moisture, and hastens decay around

! a L A MEETING of the Miners assembled at
! N the house of Mr.. Mark McNicholas No

that Mr.. James Coogan be nominated President.
and Mr. John Hogan, Secretary And then and
there the following resolutions were formed and
agreed to:
ARTICLE l. All old claims are to be fully in
sured to the companies owning them, provided
they have been worked by the same compa-
nieS the previous season, and that the same old
companies intend to work same claims the ensu-
ing season, so far as river claims are concerned
and not otherwise.
ART. .. All old claims arc fully acknowl-
edged in their full extent, and said claims are
to be respected by having them recorded.
ART. 3. All river claims arc to extend two
hundred feet long to each man, together with
the bed bar and banks, if any, of the river, ta-
ken up after this date
ART. f. All claims can be secured from the
time the river gets high, or from the time Mi
ners are set idle by high water until the 18th

and having it recorded; and after the 18th of
June, said claim must be worked or have the
notice renewed every third day.

size. say two hundred feet long by one hundred
feet wide to each man
ART. 6. All tunnel claims are to be
hundred feet wide through the hill; and all
shaft or deep claims are to be one hundred feet

the South Fork and North Branch of the Gala
veras river, and to extend up so high as Spen-
GERS Bar, and no further

some of the sad and melancholy effects produc-

the heart, dyspepsia nervousness, rritabiltv.
arrangement of the digestive functions, general
debility symptoms Of consumption, &c
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory. con-
fusion Of IDEAS depression of spirits, evil fore
bodlngS, aversion TO society, Sclf-distrllst love
of solitude, timidity, &c. most of the evils
produced.

Bsiyn Mr.. George Sumner, in Il recent lecture
on the past and present condition of the Span
ish people, thus authoritativc!y corrects pre-
vailing historical error:
1t is time that the immense sham with which
Spain contrivcd to intimidate all Europe was
blown to the winds. 1t was Spanish policy to
give the rest of the world an idea that her
wealth was bOundless. and it has been, up to
the present time, very difficult to contradict
successfully the great historical error thus
established. 1t was my fortune willie in
Spain to bring to light facts which set the
whole matter at rest. / received from the
Spanish government permission to search
among the archives of the Indies, at Seville,
where all the archives of America arc kept,
from the time of Ferdinand and Isabella to the
present day. Here found the original lists of
all the gold and silver received from America
during the first fifty years after the conquest of
Cortez and you will be surprised to learn that
during the thirty years in which all Europe
was filled with the accounts of millions upon
millions Of gold and silver drawn from the
Mexican mines by Spain-accounts upon which
Robertson, Prescott, and all other writer's upon
Spain, have taken for grantcd-during all these
years the gold received, if coined in our mints,
would amount--the gold TO only S499 $50, and
the silUer to only $4, $50. Both together acould
make only The paltry sum Of $502 ,40O-iess than
half the sum ace are IN the habit Of receicing eUey
fortnight from California. | have submitted
these figures to Baron Humboldt, the learned
and celebrated traveller, and he has written to
me that he adopts them entirely, and that, in
any subsequent edition of his work on Mexico
which may be published, they shall be incorpo-
rated. 1t was not from the mines of America,
but from oppression and ruinous taxation of her
own people, that Spain derived the wealth with
which she waged expensive wars with other
nations.
This authentic statement knocks the basis
from world of eloquent moralizing in the lit
erature of modern politics. Statesmen and
political spectators will now have to cast
about for some new theory of the downfall of
Spain. Mr.. Sumner himself, we believe, at
tributes that event chiefly to the policy of the
court in making productive labor disgraceful.
His lecture as whole is spoken of in very
admiring terms by the press.
