earthquake along the line Of the lower
Stockton road Below Benson's ferry, the
waters of the Mokelumne river, much
swollen by recent rains, were thrown over
the banks, leaving the bed of the river
almost bare. Houses were shaken violently,
destroying articles of glassware, and over
turning furniture. Limbs were broken
from trees, the trees in some instances set
ting down two or three feet into the ground.
The inhabitants of that section were terror
stricken, whilst dumb brutes appeared to
be paralyzed We look with interest for

The GOLDEN RESOURCES OF CALIFOR-
NIA.-We extract the following from a
pamphlet recently published under the
title which heads this article, and to which
a brief allusion was made in the Herald
a few days since: Millions of acres of
the richest placers ever discovered in Cali
fornia are now lying idle and unknown,
Notwithstanding thousands of able-bodied
men are hanging about our large towns
seeking bare subsistence, and the wall
of hard times is heard from their lips all
over the land, spreading alarm and discon-
tent amongst the weak-minded and igno-
rant, at this very moment when the Future
of California shines forth brighter than ever
before, and the avenues to fortune In the
mines are being opened in every direction,
by the discovery of new and extensive
placers on the mountain tops tosupply the
place of the exhausted river-beds and
ravines we have been working; and they
are richer and more extensive, more GER
tain and lasting than the rivers ever were
They are, in fact, the original deposits
from which the others were supplied, =
the Fountains of the mineral wealth of
California, buried streams of wealth hid
den under mountains, until the lesser de-
posits should be first exhausted by man
who is thus taught gradually by expert
ence, and prepared to enter upon the more
tedious and gigantic work of removing
mountains, to get at the deep-hidden
treasures of the earth, and of cutting
passages to them through solid rock at
great expense and labor, requiring years
of patience and toll. The severe task of
laboring for months, and sometimes even
years, in the slow process of blasting
tunnel through the solid rock, at great ex-
pense, was too much former who first came
here to dig for gold to endure. Gold min
ing was new field suddenly opened to the
industry of our nation, and men had to
be prepared by degrees for the great work
which is now required, and this was done
by the simple process and quick returns of
the early days in Sold-digsing The easiest
placers to dig being exhausted, men are
prepared for a harder task, and they turn
the rivers from their beds, and build arti-
fetal channels many miles in extent to
convey water to elevated locations, at great
expense and labor, and in doing which
they learn to surmount obstacles before
considered insurmountable until the noun
tains are interlanced with system of canals,
which is daily extending in every direc-
ton, and will continue to extend, until
every little rill is diverted from its course,
and the mines of California exhibit a spec
tacle never before witnessed elsewhere in
the whole world, the waters of all her
streams taken from their natural channels,
and conveyed across, through and around
the mountains, in artificial channels, and
subjected to the wants and uses of men,
ere they are allowed to mingle with the
clear blue waters of the mighty sea.

Constitutional DeJtttty or Seminal Weakness
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur-
ed themselves by private and improper indul-
gences i'll that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind, uniting them for
either business or society The following are
some of the sad and melancholy effects produc-
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness
of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability,
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
bodings, aversion to society, self-distrust, love
OF solitude, timidity, &C., are most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of
the above symptoms should not fail to call on
DIR. Young and be at once restored to perfect
health Let no false delicacy prevent you, but
apply Immediately, and yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS
Immediately cured and full vigor returned.

Some OF our Democratic contemporaries have been
discussing the proper time for holding .he next Dem.
ocratic State COnventi, n. Personally, care very
little To those residing on different rail-
road lines, the difference of seasons is minor
sidcraon but to others, who do not enjoy these
facilities of travel, the case is different.
The first object, presume, is to secure the full
lest representation from all parts of the State This
is always desirable in WHERE in the last
instance there exists doubt Of the nomination
of the incumbent of the Office of Governor. 1t is
of course, still more desirable when new selection
will have to be made. 1t is desirable that there
should be full meeting, and free interchange Of
views tetween the representatives of the Democra-
cy. 1t is desirable for other objects than the mere
selection of charlottesville mere adjudication of
the claims Of individuals and must continue SO to
be as long the principles and the organization of
the party are regarded as paramount in importance
to the advancement of men. 1t is right and proper
that the party should meet together and consult
upon the course to be pursued to guard against the
possibility Of defeat, and the constantly recurring
tendency to innovation.
Desiring, for these and other reasons, to see as
full an attendance as possible. We think that the
Convention ought not to be held at any season un{a
vorabe for securing such attendance-we think that
any day earlier than some time in the last half of
tie for such attendance and that the ought
to be very cogent-the considerations Of overriding
weight-to call for justify the assembling Of the
Convention at a much earlier day. That such con-
siderations may arise is possble-That any exist
now, we do not know or believe.
These precisely the tmesim which It behoeyes
Democrats to guard zealonsly the purity Of their
principles and the integrity of their organizations

danger of being relaxed, and in which dangerous
innovations npon principles most likely to be in.
