Our County.

We believe that the soil and climate Of our County
are peculiarly adapted to the growing Of every species
Of fruit trees and of the production Of all kinds and
varieties of plants and vegetables.
On Messrs Alison 4 Powell's rancho, situated on
Mariposa Creek, near this town, saw some two or
three hundred peach trees in full bloom, and most
thriving condition. Nothing is glorious and beau
tiful in botanical scenes than large orchard of peach
trees in full bloom the glowing pink of the blossoms
Is vvdly contrasted with the vcrant leaves while the
gracefu shapes Of the trees impart order and com
p'steness to the whole attractive display On this
rancho, too, may be found many choice varieties Of
grape vines, which win yield abundant supply this
fall while here and there, throughout this well cult
vated garden may be seen the sturdy young apple
tree giving promise OF future excellence and fruitful
aes As general rule the apple tree to thrive
less in our climate, but we think that with proper
care and attention the part of the horticulturst
great improvement might be effected in the size and
flavor Of this monarch of fruits. Many varieties oil
plum trees are here in a vigorous state of expan
sve progression while the locust trees which are sci
in TO shade the more tender plants, will soon
lend their picturesque forms TO beauty the landscape
Auayed in long rows is planted the Yosemite straw
berry. sweeter In favor smaller in size, and rap
id in growth than the ordinary kinds on cultivated
soils.
As experiment We believe the growth of fruit in
our vicinity will prove emincnty successful and rea
souaby profitable, and no occupation in life is NOR,
delightfully."- interesting and healthtu than that of tn,
horticultural.

secondary consideration, in comparison with
the deprivation of religious liberation If there
is good in any creed or faith, it will survive the
attacks of envy, malice and intolerance, and
men will Judge of the excellence of its maxims
or tenets, by the works that are wrought in
conformity with their rules of government. If
there is evil in their doctrine, their maine and
principles will fade or expire, being consumed
or scattered by their very inherent weakness.
Free thought, free speech, and free worship,
are the safe guards of liberty-and be who
opposes them, save under the direction of the
law of the land, is fool and bigot, and an
enemy to the freedom and enlightenment of
the human race.

Religion. and Political Intolerance.

Religious intolerance we all readily condemn
in others; and yet to be what is styled true
christians, by some Of the prevailing thcologi-
cal dogmas Of the present day, we must be-
come bigots and prosecutors Of those who do
not agree with us in opinion rs to the spiritual
beginning and end of man. Combinations
and expressions on account Of ones faith
or belief in the Divinity, should be defied or
laughed at by every sensible man possessing a
grain of intelligence. There is such terrible
assumption Of power, such virulent concen-
tration Of arrogance in any erring mortal
usurpng to himself supreme dominion over
the mansions of the blessed, and the abodes Of
the damned-that we deem It the duty Of every
good freeman, when occasion presents itself,
to express emphatically his disapprobaton of
such foolish, vain and useless displays of re-
ligious or political tyranny. Such nonsense as
that Of excluding man from church or Office
on account Of difference Of faith, in this
era of the worlds history-when the dawn Of
liberty is breaking in the West, and its light
travelling towards the East, dspclling the men,
tai darkness that enshrouds the helpless serf,
and hides the weakness and villainy of mon.
archs from the masses of their subjccts-we
say, that when this trick Of ofdemagogueism and
remnant of the dark ages, is attempted to be
enforced in this enlightened age, and on this
free soil Of America, it merits ridicuc, if it does
not deserve contempt. In America the laws
are made for the protection of the good, and
the punishment of the guilty. There is no ex-
ception to the law in favor of any one man, in
preference to another. Equal justice is sought
to be rendered to all, be the citizen rich or
poor-dignified by office, or debased by crime
it matters not, the statutes act and operate
on the whole body polite individually and col
lectively.
The basis, the very foundation of our Co
vernment is seated on the rock of civil and re-
ligious liberty, and its motto is fair exponent
Of the great concentration Of the majesty Of
mind or intelligence untrammeled by the
shackles of bigotry by the rewards
of vice-unerring. amid the gloom Of super.
stition-unterrified by the threats of tyrants,
and unconfined by the narrow limits of child.
ish and sectional prejudices. Bgots and
rulers should have been taught by this time,
that the human mind is not machine to be
driven beyond the pale of christianity, or rob
bed Of the hopes of future life of enjoyment
by the idle caprice of an uncharitablc priest
or the clustering threats of a hypocritica
demagogue.
The truly good and wise arc never skeptica
as to the sincerity of another mortal's profes
sions of peculiar belief or as to what he
thinks as to the true intent and meaning o.
some portions of the texts of christianity. The
persecution of Martin Luther and Mahomed
excited such determined resistance in theil
followers, and inspired them with such an OBJ
stinate zeal, that they looked upon death as I

Medicinal Springs.

One quarter of mile from Quartzburg, in this Coun.

springs Of rare medicinal properties. The water from
these springs are brilliantly clear but excessively dis

sulphur and alum. The earth at the mouth of these
springs is strongly impregnatcd with the two com.
pounds and the cattle resort to these waters in great
numbers during the summer to lick the earth
