character Of country must obvio,,<Iy de-
pend, not only on the ama>Siur of kn,wI-
edge hy its philosophers. but also upon its
diffusion among the people. 1t is no,
knowledge merely of natural laws which
make a people wealthy; it is the power of
applying them t" the everyday purposes
of life that produces riches. Philosophers
very rightly remain with their distractions,
as a fountain remains at its source, or trickIcs
AWAY from its fnlness in narrow stream. If
you wish to make that fountain useful to
the surrounding country, you construct a re-
seryoir for its waters, and channels by which
to conduct them to the fields requiring ir-
rigaton.

THE Proc GRANr-"A Settler" in this
weeks issue, writes an interesting letter
This is matter that excites, very naturally,
deep interest in this county, and it is de-
sirable that the subject should be thoroughly
discussed The nature of this grant, the
course which brought about its confirmation
by the Commissioners, the alledged conni
vance of Ramon De Zaldo Custodian Of
records, and the location proposed to be
made by Pico and his partner De Zaldo, are
matters which should be probed to the bottom
The columns of the Ledger will continue to
be open for this important purpose.

cading the Mineral Lands.

The discussion of Mr.. Hancocks resolu-
tions asking Congress to cede the Mineral
Lands to the State, is expected to take
place in the Assembly next Monday. We
hone the members from mining counties, and
all Others who desire to promote the mining
interest-which is The great interest of the
State-will not be led astray by Mr.. Han
eoeI,s transparent humbug. Let the mines
remain as they are--free for all who wish TO
work them. Give them to the State, and
it is the first and a sure step towards their
monopoly In n few years, miner could
not find claim to work without paying rent
for ii. The pretext Of tazing mining claims
even if it were just and could be made prac-
ticable, both of which we deny-would not
be enough to counterbalance the evil that
would arise from a monopoly of them. If
the members from the mining counties do
Heir duty the proposition well receive its
quietus--as will also the ridiculous notion
that tax should be imposed upon what the
miner stands one chance out Of twenty of
ever receiving.
