THE LAND OF DREAMS.
81 WI. c. BRYANT.

mighty realm is the land of dreams,
With sleeps that hang in The twilight sky.
And welterng oceans, and trailing streams,
That CLEAN where the dusky valleys lie.
But over its shadowy borders flow
Sweet rays from world of endless morn,
And the nearest mountains catch the glow,
And flowers in the nearest fields are born.
The souls of the happy dead repair
From the lowest Of fight to that bordering land
Aud walk in ;he farer glory there.
With the souls OF the living, hand TO hand
One calm, sweet smile in that shadowy sphere,
From eyes that open on earth no more
One warning word from a voice once dear
How they ring in the memory Ger and o'er.
Far of from these hits that shine with the day,
And fields that bloom in the heavenly gales,
The land ofdreams goes stretching away
To DINNER mountains and darker Wales
There lie the chambers of guilty delight;
There walk the sppctres OF hope and fear;
And soft low voices that float through the night,
Are whispering sin in the guieless ear
Dear maid, in thy grlhood's opening hours,
Scarce weaned from the love of childhood's play,
The tears on whose cheeks are the opening flowers
That freshen the early bloom Of May
Thine eyes are closed, and over thy brow
Pass thoushtiul shadows and joyous CLEANS,
And know BY the moving lips that now
Thy spirit stays in the land of dreams.
Lght-hearted maiden, oh heed thy feet!
Oh keep where that beam OF paradise falls!
And only wander where thou mavest meet
The blessed ones from its shining walls.
So shalt thou come from the lard of dreams
With love and peace to this world OF strife,
And the light that over lis border streams,
Shall lie on the path Of thy daily life.

IEHAMA CoUNTY,-We find the following
items in the Tehama Gazette:
Iehama Market ReDort-In consequence
oI the arrival in town, on Wednesday, of two
salmon, three trout, one quail and a cotton
tan rabbit, markets were so glutted that
sales were exceedingly dull. 1t is anticipated
by those who are poste !, that should no more
arrivals take place in the next three DAYS,
trade will have resumed its accustomed ac-
tivity.
On last Saturday evening train of of for.
ty mules, owned 10y S. p. Storms of the Nome
Cult Reservation, went out Of this town laden
with supplies for that place. While the
mules were being packed it forciblv re.
minded us of the early days of California.
and we involuntarily sighed to think thew
had gone forever. We thought also that il
ought to have reminded our people of the
fact, that with little energy and an expen
diture of little cash, many more such trains
might be seen coming in and departing from
this place.
On Wednesday evening, while Mr.. Gar
land of Red Bluff, was on a visit to Tehama
his safe was opened and the sum of $4,000
distracted therefrom. Having had cons.de-
rable sums of money on deposit, many of the
parties who placed them in his charge, are
necessarily losers; the heaviest loss sustained
by any single individual beng about $3.50

Arrival of the Overland Mail at Placer
VIlIe.

VILE.
The Overland Mail arrived at Pacerville
on the 18th inst. The mail left Salt Lake on
the lst inst and arrived in IA days. We
learn the following from the Union telegram !:
Recently, V, ung man who was keeping
shop at Dry Greek, on the road to Camp

and subsequently found dead in his shanty
| In Salt Lake City another man, name un-
known, had been Knocked down by a gang

old Panthuagin, of the Shohones, and recent
ly Gashoot, Chief of the Bannak, and Mem
mituckoi, of the Silver Knives, have mani
Tested their displeasure by threatening and
annoying the men in charge of Alex. NJ.
Stewart, at Gravelly Ford station. One
night, recently, these Indians gathered
aronad the station in large numbers, and
were more insulting than ever. During the
night, some of Stewards party, who under
stood their language. overheard the savages
plOJtlng TO murder tne party as soon as JneN
should all be asleep. OF course, none of the
party slept any that night, and early next
morning they evacuated their camp and set
out for Cliffs station, at the head of the
Humboldt, distant one hundred and twenty
five miles. Stewart had not proceeded five
hundred yards before the Indians set the
shanty on fire and burned it to ashes The
post at Gravelly Ford is abandoned for the
present, but the stock were all saved, and
the place will shortly be re occupied
Major Chorpenning writes to his brother
that Gen Johnston has dispatched Captain
Simpson with a detachment of thirty men
and wagons to explore the new route west of
Goose Creek. The General also informed the
Major that he intends to send detachment
through to Carson Valley Lext spring.
At the Sink of the Humboldt. on Wednes-

occurred between Alexander Chauvin and
Fred Dixon, in which Chauvin shot Dixon

hours Subsequently Chauvin was arrested

WHAT AN ADMINISTRATION CoRREspoYDENT
THINKS ABOUT T.-We never pay much atten-
tion to any Lecompton or Republican news
paper conjectures about Stephen A. Douglas,
for we don't look through those dstorting
optics, but we conclude to make room for the
following from an Administration New York
correspondent of the San Francisco Herald
"The prospect now is. that Douglas will be
defeated by the Republicans at the State
election in November. Though he will have
the Senate, he is likely to lose the House.
Bets are freely offered here upon his defeat.
The Republican party will be strengthened
by the recent elections, and the Adminstra-
tion Democrats will also elect number of
members of the Legislature Mr.. Douglas
will, therefore, probably lose his election to
the United States Senate.
1t cannot he denied, however, that the
tendency of things has been to make him the
nominee of the Charleston Convention in
1860, notwithstanding his Freeport speech.
But if he is to lose his hold upon the Demoe-
racy of the northwest, his chance for the
nomination will be lost
