GFBy the last leader in the Gazette d Citt
zen we have come to the conclusion that our
friend wants to make hobby Of that fam
GUS hand bill which he claims to have in his
breeches pocket. Under this impress ion we
do rot in future intend to allow him to ride
into notoriety through our columns. His only
charge now is that, if honest we should
condemn 1.-THE means used to secure the
election of THEAKER, in an unmistakable
manner, and that we ought to say We do
not know the guilty party. Now without
acknowledging the right of this Editor to
question. rs for the sake of hs argunsnt we
viii reply. LIST; thst we did condemn the
hand bills in .unmistakable manner and
that we do not condemn the means used to
securs THEAKERs election is because we
know of no no illegitimate means having
been used; on the contrary we believe he
was elected faita iy and bonorably: This
must be the opin ion of every honest man
who is not prejudiced by sore head. End;
,oe do not knov the gully party. We have
tried 10 ferret them out and cennot find as
much evidence of guilt with any one as with
the Editor who cries, "step thief." II is in
keeping with the idea of him max ing it a
hobby. Now. in all candor will the Editor
deny that he did print those odlous ''hand
bills!" And if he il not guilty viii he say
whether he Knows the guilty party,
This Will be doing as a "guod and faith-
ful citizen ought to" The Editor says he
intends to cry aloud and spare not. We do
not see much use of boohooins about thing
SO tIifing in its results, but.we suppose the
tears will unbidden fow. We pity the lap-
yer who simply charges that THEARER got
twenty votes in this township by foul means
and because it is not proved false will as
sumo it as true. Now we charge that the
moon is slice of great cheese, and if the
Editor of The Gazette don't disprove it, then
the world must take it for granted Out
upon such law! Out upon such laiDyer.

CASTLE Soar MANUFACTURED IN CALIFoR-
NA.-An article lately very scarce in this
market, says the Prices Current, has been
manufactured in Sacramento, and is offered
so cbeaply that future importations will not
pay We allude to CASTLE Soap This pro.
duct of Spain has never before, we believe,
been initiated. Yet the method of manufac-
turing it is no secret. The component parts
are ell known to men of science-for even
the manufacture of soap is a science-but the
climate of all other countries has been ad.
verse to the attempt. There is an aridity OF
atmosphere peculiar to Spain which is only
equaled by that of California This is all tie
secret, and therein lies the ability of our soap
manufacturers to produce an article equal, il
not superior, to the best that by any possibil
ity could be imported.

THE SORGHUM CANE.-The Hon. B. D. VII
son, of the Mission San Gabriel, has on his
lands a large field of Chinese sugar cane,
which he planted as an experiment. 1t has
succeeded beyond his most sanguine expecta.
tions, proving itself to be the most prolific of
crops. As feed it surpasses all other fodder,
and is greedily devoured by cattle. But Mr.
Wilson's object in introducing the culture of
the cane in his district, was, principally, to
demonstrate its quality as a sugar producing
crop And for this purpose he has imported
from Cincinnati, at very heavy cost for trans
portation, the largest and best mill yet con-
structed, for grinding the cane, together with
the kettles for boiling the syrup The mill
has just been erected, and in a short time Mr.
Wilson will commence operations. We hope
he may be entirely successful in his laudable
endeavors to introduce into the agriculture
of this section ofcountry an article that prom
ises to be more remunerative to the farmer
than any other crop which he can raise. At
very considerable expenditure of means, Mr.
Wilson has incurred the risk of experiment.
ing on this branch of manufactures, for the
district and the country generally, and if sue
cessful, as we hope he will be- his example
will no doubt be followed next season, and
we will have great breadth of this cane
planted The mill is of such simple con-
struction that it can be easily moved, and
will be sufficient to meet the wants of the
neighborhood 1t can be driven by two or
four horses.-LoS Angeles Star, Oct. 23d

eE- Mr.. Gibson, of El Monte, placed in
our hands, says the Southern Vineyard a
stock of Chinese sugar cane grown upon his
farm, of extraordinary size About two feet
of the seed end of the stock had been cut off
to save the seed The cane which was left
with usis lS feet long and the three lower
joints, after stripping off the leaves measured
respectively Al Al and A inches in cireum.
ference. Mr.. Gibson planted about one eighth
of an acre last spring, and in the field there
is one hill, the stalks of one seed, which in
its general appearance as well as its superior
size over all the rest of the field appears to
be a different variety, 1t is some three OIL
four feet taller than any other hill in the
field. He has gathered the seed from this
hill by itself 1t would be we'll for thos,
who are engaged in the cultivation of this
cane to compare notes respecting its culture
and its varieties.

Poetry AND PoRK.-It is somewhat remark
able, says an exchange, that Italy, the land
of poetry and song, should at the same time
be one of the largest dealers in pork such,
however, is the fact. According to recent
published statistics, the salt pork trade OF
Tuscany alone amounts to $4,000 annually.
About e32 900 worth are consumed in Amer
lea, and the rest is exported to England,
France, Algeria, and Sardinia. The flesh of
the wild swine of Italy is the most delicious
known, and is "a great favorite with travellers

e5S@ 1t is supposed that the opening of the
mail routes on the plains will have the effect
to develop the mineral resources of the vast
extent Of country lying between this State
and the western border of the States of the
Atlantic. We see it very confidently stated
that iron, copper and lead abound in many
portions of the territory alluded to- 1t Is
said that there are whole hills, almost, of
pure copper on the Sweet Water river, while
the hills near the head of Goose creek are
pure iron. The San Francisco Prices Current
remarks on this subject as follows:
Adjacent to these hills on what is called
the W est Fork, gold has been found in abun-
dance, a fact not lately discovered, since as far
back as 1851 an emigrant took out, in less
than Il week. over 81, 1000. The Black Hills,
south of the Platte river, are also believed to
be very rich. That there is gold there has
been demonstrated. Indeed the whole chain
of mountains, running from the Platte as far
south as the Rio del Norte, contains gold.
Forty miles west of Santa Fe, are the old
Spanish mines called Placer. They have
been worked for nearly a century, and yet
pay we'll We have of late seen numerous
statements of discoveries of gold in those re-
gions, but they were not discoveries. The
men of the mountains, the trappers and ira
ders, knew of the facts long ago, but skill,
energy, ambition, and capital were necessary,
and not attainable to render the knowledge
of value.
In this connection it may not be improper
to mention a sad error in geography which
even Missouri papers are making about the
location of Pixies Peak, where gold has re-
Gently been discovered" 1t was long ago
known to afford gold. 1t would be supposed
from notices made of this mountain, that it
was somewhere in Kansas. Such is not the
case. 1t is on the headwaters of the Arkan
sas, in New Mexico, and is one of the south
ern spurs of the chain of mountains before
adverted to- 1t is south of Taos, and one of
the Ratons This explanation is rather irrel-
evant to our subject, but it may not have
been amiss to make it.
1t is only necessary to disseminate facts
and general information III regard to the vast
and glorious territory intervening between
the Pacific and the western Atlantic States,
to secure attention to its value, and secure
for it a very large population. We have be-
fore alluded to this subject, but we feel our
selves inadequate to do it full justice. The
mail routes, by inducing men of intelligence
to pass through the country, will effect more
than all that could be done by writing.
