EVERYBODY WANTS IT.--Uuring the debate
in Congress. on the Pacific Railroad BiV, Mr..
Smith, Of Illinois, took occasion to say that
his constituents would vote for direct taxation,
if need be. in order to secure the construction
Of the road. The whole western country felt
the deepest interest in it. SO likewise in the
Fast, it meets with universal favor The
Philadelphia Lnquirtr, speaking on the sub

OrR TANNERIES We find the following in
relation To the tauncrics Of this State in the
I'rires Cnrrcnt and Slipping List Of March
18th:
The tanncrics Of this State are full able tn
supply all its wants There is no qu >tion
about this fact ~ Monterey alone there
are establishments enough for this purpose, a.
We published some few weeks >ir &c. The
whole number Of tanncric%.iu the state is about
twenty-five. aud from these more leather j.
turned out than the State requires. Imported
leather, as can be perceived from orr quota
ti"ns, will not pay. 1t is all nonsense for
Eastern shippers to scnduS those articles which
We eau rear or manufacture ourselves. y"
invoice Of leather which we have received
within the last four years has paid cost and
charges; aud yet il, the face Of this palpallc
fact. We are still receiving c0n,ignmcnto of
leather.
In the tanning of the s,ipcrahun'lan, hides
Of the country, we lack only one element, and
that can easily be procured by importation at
n small expense. OF course we refer 10 oak
bark. Whether the oak Of Oregon would sup
ply this deficiency We do not know, or whcth-
rr it has ever been tested. But were we en-
tircly dependent OH importation from the At.
lHntic States, We could bring the article from
thence for the purpose named, and U>c il in
the manner designated, ut n cheaper rate than
We could import leather
But the fact that we have already almost
driven Eastern leather out Of the market
should satisfy those concerned in the trade
that notW outstanding all drawbacks, We are
able aud ready To compete with the world on
the score Of the importation of the article

The Court further decided, that as the gold
belongs to the United States, the government
has the right to go upon the land and extract
it that that right it may delegate to others,
and has by its acquicsccncc in the pursuit of
miners here, virtually authorized the miners
to extract gold from land belonging to the
General Government, and from land covered
by Mexican grants. Judge Field dissents
from the opinion Of the Court.

be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted, where
relief Of their sucrngs may he obtained feels
his duty thus publicly express his most sincere graft

his health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms in
cdct the vicious practice Of uncomfortable passion in
youth depressed in body and mind, unable to perform
the trling duty imposed on the daily avOca-
tons Of life, sought the advice Of many physicians who
at first regarded my disease Of trihng mpOrance-but,
alas after few weeks, and in several instances months
of their treatment, found to my uterabe horror, that
instead Of relief the symptoms became alarming In
their torture and, being told by that my disease,
being principally confined TO the brain, medicines would
be Of little consequence despared OF ever regainng
health strength and energy; and last resort, and
with but faint hope called upon Dr. Czapkay. Who al
ter examining case prescribed some medicine which

myself Immediately under his care, and by strict obedi-
U all his directions and advice. my head became
clear. ideas collected, the constant pain In my back

With view guard the unfortunate from falling Into
the snares Of incompetent quacks, deem 1t my duty to
