Important Decision.

The United States Supreme Court have made a
very important decision as to taxes. They decide
that the Government parts with its title to lands
only when the patent issues, that public lands are
nottherefore taxable bysstates Territories, until
the actual issue of the patent. This is decision
ofvast importance to the Western settlers, and all
they viii have to do to avoid the payment of taxes
is to let the patent lie in the Office, or, If necessa-
~, get friend to contesit 50 as to delay the is
sue as long as he may desire to avoid paying taxes.

TIE LITTLE DRuMMER BoY.-Among the troops
at the Newport Barracks is a tiny drummer who
is only eight years old, but handles the drum
sticks with the skillof veteran. For forty years,
his father beat the drum for the 9th Infantry and
when he died: his mother wished to have the boy
join the army in the same capacity his father.
So permit was obtained from General Scott, and
he is now duly enrolled. He dresses like the sol
diers, though his cap is nearly half as tall he
and marches abou. with drum into which he
might almost crawl, so small is he, suspended from
his neck. as grave as ajudge, precise, regular aud
soldierly, He has the look OF noble little fellow
who would not run from regiment of Mormons
but would stand to his post and beat his drum un
til his comrades bent the enemy. Success attend
him-Cin. Gaz.

The official advices received by the last
arrival from England are of more favora-
bic character than has been represented
They reiterated friendly sentiments towards
this country, and dlsavow intentional Of
fence against our flag, and mention the fact
that prompt orders have been issued to dis
continue the visits which have given rise
to the present difficulties. Her majesty's
government does not insist on visitation or
search as right; bat as both nations are
solicitous to put an end TO the African slave
teade, it desires a mutual understanding Of
arrangement as to the proper and most ac-
ceptable manner of ascerisining the charac-
ter of suspected slavers. This is the moot
ed poiut. The tenor of the dispatches is
far from being unsatisfactory; in fact the
doctrine so long maintained by our govern
ment is considered as practically acknowl-
edged by Great Britain. The differences
between the two countries are not such as
cannot be amicably accommodated.

A private letter from Governor Cum.
ming lays much stress upon the importance
of the Mormons being induced to return
to their homes and employmenis. He is
opposed to their going TO Sonora, aud con-
firms the statement heretofore made, that
they are divided into peace and war parties
and thinks it the duty Of the government
to support the former and break down the
latter He speaks of Brigham Young as a
man Of perseverance, intellect and expert
ence, and withal vested with authority tc
announce the terrors awarded those who
sin against the Holy Ghost. There is
says Governor Cumming, division in the
ranks of the Mormons, all fearing Young
while many hate him because Of the pacif
ic measures with which he is charged
Governor Cumming plainly says that hi
chief hope of control over the Mormons d
exerted through Yours, and that if any
thing should happen to thwart his (Cum
ming's) efforts to avert the perils of col
lision between the army and the Mormons
the country may reasonably expect guer
lila war of several years duration. and a
an expense of many millions of dollars
while the war would be visited upon thos
least deserving of its terror.

RETURN OF A MASTER WITH TWO SLAVES
FROM CANADA.-About eight months ago, a
couple of slaves made their escape from Mr..
VIM. r. Cream, of Bourbon county, KY, and
managed to get away clear into Canada This
was the more easily effected as Mr., Cream
made no effort to pursue them, concluding
that they were scarcely worth keeping
against their will They were young men,
the Oldest not being much over twenty, had
been brought up in the family, and had ex.
perienced kind treatment, as the sequel will
shOw-for, becoming tired of their spell of
liberty, they about week ago sent him a
letter from Toronto, in which he was inform
ed that if he would transmit them sufficient
money to bear their expenses, they would
return to "Old Kentuck" and servitude Up
on receipt of the letter, Cream started in pro-
pria persona, and upon reaching Toronto,
found no difficulty in discovering the fugi-
tives, who had been ekeing out a very preca.
rious existence since they had obtained their
freedom. They stuck to their determination
to accompany their old master home, and yes
terday he arrived with them in this city, en-
route to Bourbon county. Cincinnati Com

Mrs. Cora ANNA WEEKEs Fleeing THE
SYDNEYITEs.-The Eli Whitney brought some
intelligence of the Athen@um at San Francis
co, and of the sudden departure of its "fair
editress' for these colonies, which caused
quite Sensation" here, assure you; and
numerous government officers, members OF
Parliament, lawyers and citizens generally,
who had been induced to subscribe to a semi
monthly magazine called the Spectator, edi-
ted by "Ga association Of ladies'" began to
feel themselves hoaxed by the bewitehing fe-
minine who had solicited and obtained their
contributions. Mr.. Weekes, the husband OF
Mrs Cora Anna, Immediately published a
card, denying the statements in the California
papers, and said a great many hard things
about California edtors-particularly those
of the Evening Bulletin and Alta among
others, that they were jealous of the success of
Athaneum and sought to crush it! The Spec
tator had reached its second number, and af-
ter some suspension it was announced to be
amalgamated with another publication in this
city called the Month" The subscribers OF
the Month and Spectator have each since re-
ceived copy of the joint publication. ] took

A PERSONAL AppLIoArIoN.-The following
incident is derived from the personal nara
tive of a Mr. Baldwin, one of the earliest
residents of Hanover N. III. He remarked :
I" was a constant attendant on the preach
ing of Rev. Eleazor Wheelock, ID. ID. On
one Sabbath the congregation was convened
in barn, as there was no house of worship
in existence in the place. After the intro
duction of his subject, the Rev. DR. observed
that he would address several classes of
hearers in succession, and apply his discourse
to EACH As the several classes were de
scribed, selected in my mind certain indi.
viduals whom | supposed the coat would fit.

to have enumerated all classes of sinenrs found
in his audience, he paused and cast his eye
over the congregation He then with great
solemnity added "There is still one class
that have not mentioned Then there was
a slight pause and breathless silence. The
preacher with usual emphasis. resumed :
The persons to whom | now allude, are

A GIGANTIC PIECE OF WoRK-A few DAYS
since, says the Sonora Herald, we visited the
tunnel of Stranahan d Darrow, on the west
side Of Table Mountain, and were kindly
shown through the works by Mr.. Stranahan.
Nearly two years have passed since our last
visit to this work, since which time it has
been pushed with an energy characteristic of
the California miner alone The work now
is Of stupendous roportions-probably equal,
il not superior, to anything Of the kind in
California. The main tunnel is 2,70O feet
long, its present termination being under the
crest of Table Mountain Here the wOrkmen
have reached high bed rock, which appears
to rise towards the centre of the mountain.
They are now engaged in drifting what they
call an upclne through this ledge, for the
purpose of ascertaining where it dips again,
and with the expectation of thus finding the
main channel. From the slope of the noun
tain an incline tunnel has been excavated,
which reaches the main tunnel not far from
where the laborers are engaged. and affords
them fresh air. This incline is 4l5 feet long,
and is an astonishing piece of workmanship.
We assembled it from the tunnel and found
the upper portion cut into steps, to relieve
the steep ascent. The company are not ta-
king out much gold at present, though we
could plainly see coarse pieces in the dirt
where the workmen are now eXcavating. We
were told that $lSS,000 have been expended
on the work; how much has been taken cut
we are unable to say, but it must be an enor-
nous amount, as pay dirt has been found all
the way from the commencement.

A New MATERIAL FOR ROAD MAKING.-The
everlasting noise which is occasioned by the
rugged material of our English roads, and
the frequency of their being under repair,
gives special value to the fact that we find
in the French papers, a! new system of road
making has just been substituted for the ordi-
nary roadway on a part of the Place du
Palais Royal. A quantity of concrete, about
five inches in thickness, is first spread out,
and on that is applied layer of bitumen re.
duced to power and in boiling state. On
this latter, which is also about five inches in
thickness, quantity of river sand is sifted,
and then the surflce is pressed down by a
heavy cast iron roller, weighing about two
tons. In few hours after the road thus
made may be passed over by the heaviest
wagons without the slightest impression be-
ing left by the wheels The same system is
now being applied to part of the Rue St.
Honore comprised between the Palais Royal
and the Rue de Richelieu, and in the latter
street as far as the end of the sTheater Fran
