THOMAS JEFFERSON AND HIS FANLY.-In
"RanaalPs Life of Jefferson" it is state d that he
had two children, Martha abe Maria. The lat

ain person dazzling vision of beauty" much
resembling her deceased understanding
her, too, ia the fragile organization which too
early caused her death She eldest daughter,
married to kinsman Of Randolf, Of Roanake,
was SO gracesul, so excellent, so amable, that
when John Randolf was utterly alienated from
Jcffe rson, and Martha's health was offered in a
company Of gentlemen, he rose with his glass in
his hand his piercing eye rolled round the cir

Jefferson was at home, not only his youngest
daughter, but Mrs Randolf, with her children
and highly intellectual husband, resided win

Jefferson was amiablc, affectionate, very fond
of children, and greatly attached to home.

A New AGRICULTURAL IMPLBMENT.-The edl-
tor of the Napa Reporter has been delighted with
the practical operation of q new machine called
Willard Sewer aud Narrower The opera
ton, he says. of sowing and narrowing in grain
is somewhat complex. Yet it is effectaally per-
formed by this machine, which is scarcely mere
intricate in construction than coffee mill or
wheelbarrow. Its operation was witnessed by
the editor and many others, each of whom will
vouch for the accuracy of the following state
ment: ..
/. This machine will SOW and harrew in grain
Of any kind, more perfectly than it can be ac-
complished by the usual method. as was shown
by fair trial on land belonging to ~ Coomos
Esq.
q 1t will pulyerize the surface of field Of
hard adobe earth (Which had been dried by an
exposure of several weeks since plowihg) to o
depth of three inches, by passing once ovor it
feat which, as a gentleman present observed,
"a common harrow could not accomplish in all
summer"
3. II was unanimously agreed by all who
witnessed lis performances, that il will save
two-thirds (and many say three-fourths) Of tho
labor Of sowing and narrowing
A. II was also established beyond controversy,
that il would SOW and harrow in ten acres per
day on the stiff clay sell of this valley; and that
once going over with this was equal to five
harrowings Of the old harrow

PRosPECTs OF THE HARvEsT.--There is every
assurance of one of the greatest grain crops this
year ever yet harvested in California. A friend
from Bodega gives us his own judgment, found
ed upon an examination Of that section of coun-
try from Bodega down TO San Francisco
through the valleys of SOnoma, Santa Rosa,
Petaluma and Napa-there the crops Of all
grains will be enormous. Our information, di-
rect from the Pajaro valley, along the Salinas
plains. from Monterey and Santa Clara eoun'
ties, from Alameda, along the entire San Pablo,
shows that the unbounded prosperity rests upon
the grain crops. The present week, in all the
Yolo country, the farmers see great harvest
before them and as we have, passed up the
Sacramento and Feather rivers, we have never
seen the grain stand better-a rich dark green
upon the blade heavy heads already in the
milk, and in some places now making its last
change. ALI that we see, all that we hear, as
sure us that we shall not enly have one Of the
creates. grain crops, but it will come in earlier
than usual-Cd. Farmer.

HORSE STEALING.--We find the following in
the Los Angeles Star of May lst, from which it
appears that stealing in general is in successful
operation in that section. The Star says:
Horse stealing seems to be in successful OPP
Grafton nova days. At the Monte, April 24th,
a couple of horses were stolen, and COW and
calf; the carcass of the latter was afterwards
found, minus the hide. At San Bernardino,
large business has lately been done in this line;
some of the operators have, however, been ar
rested, and are in the hands of the authorities.
In other parts of the country we have heard OF
similar depredations, which would seem TO in
dicatc that an organized band are making this
the center of their operations
We are indebted to George Laxton, who ar
rived here from Sonora on the oath of April,
for further information relative to the murder
of Perkins and Hamilton, who were on their
way up with horses &c, spoken Of by Utter
and Fleury II Is the opinion o! Laxton, from
! information CLEANED on passing the place where
the murder was committed, that Mexicans, not
Iidians were the guilty parties. IL appears
that Hamilton, better known as French Joe,
had the imprudenee, while in Hermosillo, to
frequently boast of the mOney-some 81, 900
in their possession, which doubtless tempted the
eupidity Of their assassins Hamilton was killed
on the spst; Perkins survived four or five days
although shot through and through Laxton

He may be expected the coming week,
ten acre field of corn on the Howard Vine
yard, was blasted by frost, April 2Stb, aud we
have been informed that a great portion oi
this crop has been similarly visited.
We hear that several vineyards are suffering
from a bug which has lately made its appear
auce on the vines, attacking and destroying the
green buds. We are glad to learn, however,
that the young vines, only, are likely to be af-
fected by the newly discovered enemy Of vinous
vegetation. The bug has not yet been detected
on old vines.

FROM SALT LAKE LADY SAINT.-The PrOvi-
dence Journal has seen letter from one Of the
Mormon women at Salt Lake city, written TO
her daughter in that vicinity. She describes
her situation there as very comfortable and
writes with full confidence of the security of the
Saints under the protection of the Prophet, she
scouts the idea that they can be harmed by tho
United States troops She says;
"I expect you have heard the loud talk Of
Uncle Sans great big army coming pto kill
the Saints. Now, if you did bat know how the
saints did reieee at the folly of the poor Gen
tile. There are about four thousand on the
borders OF our territory, with six hundred wag-
Ons, one naked mule to draw them, all the rest
have died. The men are sitting in the snow,
about hundred and fifty miles from us, living
on three crackers day, and three-quarters OF
q pound of beef week. Thus you see that the
old prophets words are fulfilled "Whoever
shall 6ght against Zien shall perish" The
time is very near when one man shall chase
thousand, and ten shall pot ten thousand to
fight. Zion is free-she is hid in one Of the
chambers of the Lord We are free people
We do not fear Uncle Sans soldiers, We only
fear our Father in Heaven. We are learning
his commandments every day frem his prophet
and am determined to keep them. If you
were here and could hear the prophets voice as
do, and hear the lion of the Lord rear from
the mountains, as do, and know how near the
scourge of the Lord is upon the Gentiles, you
would flee TO the mountains with haste. Tbe
time has come when the Lord has called all the
elders home, and commanded them TO bind up
the law and seal up the testimony. They are
coming home as soon as possible. What comes
next The Judgment, hail storm thunder, light,
ming, pestilenee, war, and those that viii not
take up the sword against their neighbor must
fee to Zion for safety. win you come, oh
my dear children?

NEW METHOD OF MANAGING ARsENICAL AND
SuLPnURETTED QUARTZ CdLdUerds Chronicle
publishes the following communication ever the
signature of ACadwalladcr 1
Herewith receive a sample of Arsencal
Quartz, and the results ofts treatment, accord
ing TO a mode obtained in New York and re-
cently furnished to me by Jno. A. Peck, Esq, Of
San francisco. The results are from one pound
gof arsenuirel of iorn, slightly mixed with quartz
lone dwt. of gold, and nearly one pound OF
peroxide Of iron, making to the ton of rock
about $1,000 of gold, and valuable pigment
for paint. For week past, / have been en-
gagged with very defective appliances, in veri-
flying this mode Of reducing sulphurets and
rasenuiret, and with the most emphatic success
as DR.. Heyburn and Mr.. John Hanson. to whom
the results have been shown, can testify. In no
single instance haveI failed in destroying the
mineralizer and getting the gold, save one,
where the Ultimate Ofiron was present. Sulphur,
arsenic, antimony, &c, can be cradlcated and
all that large class of rocks so abundant in CAL
ifornia, so critic in gold. and SO tenacious in
Withholding it from the usual mode OF crushing
and amalganlating, can be treated simply and
inexpensively. and threefold larger result had.
For instance O sample now have yields nine
ounces of gold per ton Of rock, that is paying
under the stamps $500 only. The "Lone Star"
rock that pays from ten to twenty dollars in
working by the old method will pay $40 per ton
additional with this treatment. Lockwood's
vein, where the sulphurets are concrete, will
pay $50 per ton. The principle Of this process
appears to me to be two First, the promotion
of rapid and complete oxidation of all the
metals save gold and second, the regulation Of
vapors, that ia ordinary treatment exhale so
copiously as to cause loss Of 20 to 80 per cent
of gold. The cost, in addition to the usual ex-
peuses of mill will not exceed $40 per ton Of
suphurets SO that mill yielding or stamping
Is tons of rock per day. and separating say one
ton of suphurets, can, for $40, in four hours,
on suphurets of ordinary value, add to its
nett earnings from $500 to $780,

Thc smlth Family AZ Nauvoo.

A correspondent of the Missouri Republican
writes that last summer he was at Nauvoo, and
conversed with Mr.. Bitoman, who is married to
Joe Smiths widow. He says; ~ asiQ kda
ba 1 sat at the table with the family, consisting
of BitomaA aud his wife, and three cons OF Jee
Smith, the eldest about twenty three or twenty
feur tie second about twenty the third lad
of some twelve or thirteen years. From Mr..
ottoman learned that not one OF the family be-
lieyed in Mormonism, and that, his wife-for-
merly Mrs, Smith-had always been opposed TO
to them, as we'll as the boys. j was told that
Joe Smith prophecitd, some two years before
this lad was bern, that son was to be born him
at or about certain time; that at the time stated
his wife did give birth to a son. AT that time,
he also stated that his sons name would be
David (nOt Jos), aud that Is the name Of the
lad, for heard him answer to 1t. Joe also said
that his mantle of greatness and prophecy weuld
fall upoH his son and lineal heir, David, who he
said would be as wise and powerful rs David Of
old. The fact of the birth Of this child follow
ing according to Jos's prophecy, strsngthed
the belief that had already SO strong hold up
on his followers. Mrs. Biteman is a masculine,
intelligent looking lady, Of fofty.fve or forty
seven years. She is native Of New York.
She has a splendid farm some four miles from
Nauvoo, which is managed by her two eldest
sons, while David goes to school. About the
two eldest there is nothing remarkable 70 be
seem. They are intelligent men, oflarge size,
but have nothing in their appearance beteken-
ing them to be prophets, or ''sons of q prophet"
To their mother they are said to be very kind,
and much attached. -tAa sL fS4 ~
David is au uneommonly intelligent lad, of
massive eyes. His step-fathcr intimated that he
cares as little about Mormons and Mormonism,
as one that never heard the Names notwith-
standing that thousands OF the followers of his
father believe him TO be the great high priest,
prophet and seer, Gn embryo) etc. He knows
that they worship his name equal to that of
Jesus Christi and yet am told, the lad is teo
intelligent to allow it to make any impression
upon him. Probably the fact of all the family
being unLeievers in it is the cause. .l.- rr
The following incident | learned from geh-
tleman residing at Nauvoo That when Joe
was killed in the Jail, some fifteen miles frem
his home, his wife and son took possession Of
his body, and to prevent the rabble from get
ting it, they raised the floor of the dining room,
and, digging grave, buried his remains there,
where they still remain. The story. whether
trae or not, is generally believed at Nauvoe.
