The CABLE CELEBRATIoSs.-The reioicings over
the successful laying and working of the Atlantic
Telegraph cable, has given birth to many poems, il
California, as well as well as eswhere. SO me o
these poems contain much sense and some of them
much nonsense. The Poem delivered at the Marys
vile celebration. by JoHN Il. RIDGE, Esq. i, on C
worthy the occasion and the man. We have taken
the liberty to publish it, as showing hat Califlrn ia
possesses talent that is equal to any impromptu
demand. 1t will be found on the first page.
An interesting article from the report of Teut
A. W. Whipple, upon the Indian tribes along the
route of the thirtyifh parallel. is also given 1t
furnishes much curious information relative to the
primitive inhabitants Of those territories of whom
but little has been known, except from their merc
less interruption of enigrant trains and their gen
era hostility to the white man. Their traditions
and supersttions, as presented by the official re;
port, contains much that is entertaining aad in
structive.
NEWSPAPER FILLINGs.-In the first number o
the Weekly RECORD. was an attice concerning
"Outside Natter upon which the Trinity Journa
comments thus:
An euitor VINO mas mo- industry eneH@n 10 all
two sides of weekly paper with something new
and original, ought to- take in his sign and 20
sprOuting in somebody's cearng-or take flax tC
break, or knives to grind. something that he car
do.n
And, say we, any editor who thinks that sheet,
filled inside and out, with nothing but his own rt
lngs, Is superior or more acceptable to newspaper
readers than one made up in part of extracts from
the works of authors and editors, by-eone sna co
temporaneous, is a sef-siBicient individual who
ought to swap places with the evil:-noreover he
is mistaken.

Within this sober realm Of lcaflcss trees.
The russet year inhaled the dreamy air.
Like somo tanned reaper In his hour Of ease,
When all the neids are lying bro. and bare
The gray barns, looking from their hazy hills
Ger the dim waters widening IN the vale.
Sent down the air greeting 10 the ms.
On the dull thunder Of aterna haiis
All sights were moowod. and all sounds ,ubdued.
The hills seemed farther, anI the streams sung l,w
A In dream. the distant wOodman hcw'd
His wntry log, with many n muIsd blos.
Th' smbattled forests, crewhilc armed in gold,
Their banners bright with every martial hue,
Now stood, Ike some sad beatcI host OF old,
withdrawn afar In Tines romotest blue.
On slumb'rous wings the vulturo triod his flight;
The dove scarce heard hiss gazing mates complaint
Aud like q stsr, slow drowning iu tile light,
The village church.yane seemed TO pale and rant
The sentinel cock upon the hillside crow;
Crew thrice. and all was stlllsr thiu before
Silent ,ill some replying wandorer blew
His alien horn, aud tuen was heard no more.
Where srst the jay within the en's tall crest
Made garulous trouble around the unIIdBGd young
Aud where the oriolc hung her swaying nest
by every light win like cersor swung.
There sang the noisy m,sons of the caves.
The busy swallows circliug ever near,
Forbodng, ~ the rustic MUD believes
An early harvest and y plsnteous year
Where every bird which charmed the feast
Shook the sweet slumber from its wings at morn,
To warn the reapers of tho roay east,
AL now was sonyess. empty aud torlorn.
