GRAIN CRoPs ON THE MERcED AND SAN JoA-
oUN.-The Stockton Argus learns. through .
gentleman who has recently made a trip through
the farming country along the Mereed river,
that the grain fields in that section are in q
most deplorabl condition. giving scarcely q
hope for any thing else than total failure of
the crops. In the vicinity of Dry Greek, for
merly very productive section Of farming
country, the cattle are running at large in the
fields where volunteer crops we're expected.
Alsng the Merced bottom, (with the exception
Of certain tracts Of land, improved at great ex-
pense by the introduction of water for irriga-
tion, through the means of canals, leading it
from the Falls, several miles up the river,) the
farmers lave abandoned all hope of rsapng
sufficient crops 10 pay the expense Of harvest
ing. Unless an early rain takes place, the
failure Of the grass crops will force the stock
growers to resort to other localities for feed.
Rain, at this late time, would have but little
if any effect in improving the condition Of the
volunteer crops, but would materially improve
grain sown late in the season. For nearly q
month past, scarcely drop of rain has faller
on the Merced. Farmers wear long faces, il
view of the gloomy prospects ahead. The
greater portion Of them have so far exhausted
their means in putting in large crops, with the
hope of favorable season. that they are now
destitute of many of the actual necessaries OF
llle. Oouie nave eInpiOytu tueir ttne anu IaDoT
during the past month, In the effort to irrigate
their lands by taking water from the river; but
such enterprises have been attended by too
much expense and uncertainty to be generally
successful.
The Argis is of opinion that the growing
crops of San Joaquin county are in better con-
dition, and promise q greater yield than those
of any other section Of the valley. Indeed
while the volunteer crops on the bottoms of the
Tuolumne and Merced, have reached height
of six inches, at which poat they have com
menced to spindle, those Of San Joaquin county
with scarcely an exception, present q healthy
and steady growth. This advantage probably
obtained through greater amount Of natural
moisture, and soil every way better calcu
lated to produce large crops than shat Of the
mountains.

A STUPENDoUs THEATRICAL IDEA.-The Eng
lish have built Leviathan steamer. which, il
once ahoat can never be repaired for want Of
dry dock, and the French are now talking
of a theater, which will never be filed for want
of public. But an ambitious Partisan archi =
tect is desirous Of building in the Champs Elysee
a theater capable of seating 100000 spectators;
a concourse, which, the price of entrance be ing
fixed at twenty centimes Give cents) would give
a nightly receipt of $4,000 francs. The per-
formance on this vast stage would consist OF
balIets and pantomimes on a gigantic scale.
whose various incidents spectators in the re-
motert tier would be enabled to follow by
means of telescopes attached to each seat; and
the orchestra would be composed Of steam or
gans, trumpets, horns and bassons, all worked
by machinery, with the firing of muskets for
violincelcs, and the discharge Of cannon for
double bass

The OBSERVANCE OF CHRISTIAN SABBATH -
We have received from the editor Of the Cleaner
a sheet containing what purports to he fair
and candid inquiry into the scrptural founda-
tion, and the history of the observance of the
Sunday as a Christian Sabbath. He takes the
ground that, in our day, the appropriation of q
reasonable portion OF the week. on interme-
diate days, as the afternoons of Wednesdays
and Saturdays. would physically and morally
afford more scope for improvement, and greater
advantages for body and soul, than the present
continuous observance Of twenty-four hours.
He also contends that the observance OF q
Christian Sabbath has no foundation at all in
either the Old or New Testaments that it was
mere human regulation. After arraying a
host of authority on the subject. which would
be much more interesting to ecelesastcs than
mere laymen, he concludes: We state that any
Legislature that enacts a Christian Sabbath
ontra venes the apostolic principles and teach
ings; and we feel assured that the learned p0r-
ti0n of the clergy will not conssientionsly call
the Sunday Sabbath, though they may call it
the Lords Day"
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-03-31
ANCIENT RIvER-Thero are unmistakeable

ANCIENT RIvER.-Ther0 are unmisakeable
evidences that an immense river, varying from
niue to thirteen miles in width, once flowed di-
rectly through the gold fields Of California
The bed Of this ancient river is clearly defined
by the water-woru gravel ant bowlders which
are found in all our tunnel diggngs. Another
remarkable feature OF this gravel deposit is that
the water-worn quartz powders which are min
gled in it (and which usually contain more gold
than any rock Of the kind) are entirely differ
ont species of quartz from the California odes.
Query the current Of this extinct river
carry these rich powders from some other To-
cality and If SO, may we not safely conclude
that gold fields exist somewhere in the extreme
north vastly richer than any ever yet discover
ed in California? There is no mistake in this
statement that these rich quartz powders are
entirey different from that which appears in
our hills. and instead of bearing the peculiar
diUgy white hue Of the California formations,
they nearly always have an oily, transparent
blue cast, aud are a remarkably hard kind Of
rocks Where did they come from Placrville
Inde1.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-03-31

Nor ALONE IN GLoRY.-The Philadelphia
Press, referring to the late knock down and
drag-out encounter in the House Of Represen-
tatives, between Keitt and Grow, says it will
not do for foreign journals to set down America
as the only soil upon which such scenes in
high places are indigenous; for we see by the
last steamers news that one Of the Spanish
ministers at Madrid was openly and shamefully
insuted in one of the aisles Of the Senate House
by General of the army. and there resulted in
"a brilliant passage of fists which was only
quieted by rush Of various grave and reverend
Senators who interfered in behalf of law and
order. This piquant scene Of pugillism. in
which many sturdy blows were dealt and re-
ceived, occurred on the 10th of January. On
the l1th (the day following) similar exhibition
of natural art" occurred at the House OF Dep
uties between minister Of the Crown and
Deputy of ''the League" actually holding the
place of Minister Plenipotentiary at Berlin.
These two animated episodes OF political life in
Spain-such good old believer in the divine
right of kings-wll certainly be considered by
right-thiDking people on the other side Of the
water as fairly offsettng our republican pecca-
dillo of last week
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-03-31

1t is stated that the Georgia Legislature ad-
journed without giving any expression what
ever as to the Kansas question. Every resolu-
tion on that subject was laid over. They we're
not ambitious to make simpletons OF themselves.
They were as much interested in its settlement,
understood the question az well, as the Cali
foruia Legislature, yet they wisely determined
not to agitate it.. 1t is to be regretted that the
Legislature of California did not follow their
iudicious example. Had they done So they
would have given their constituents more salts

Now AND SIXTY YEARS AGo.-It is a frequent
cry, on the part OF those who lock gloomily
upon the future, that political anmosites have
reached pitch such as was never seen before.
But men would not hold these opinions, if they
knew the history Of their country better. The
great struggle of 1900, which terminated in the
elevation of Jefferson to the presidency, was
distinguished by an acrimony to which the pre-
sent times afford no parallel. In fact, for more
than four years prior to that event, party spirit
ragged with fury which neither respected the
amenities of life. nor acknowledged the claims
of Friendship. The newspapers were filed with
lbels. Family ties were rent asunder Per-
sonal assaults we're frequent Things went so
far. that John Adams, when Vice President,
had to arm his servaits, in expectation Of an
attack from the mob. Thousands of persons
filed the streets of Philadelphia, on another oc.
casi0n, threatening vengeance on the admins
tration; and some of the more hot-headed even
went so far as to propose dragging Washington
from his house.
There have been many periods Of political
excitement during the present generation; bui
none like that. The election Of Harrison plunged
the whole nation into fever of seng-snging.

Interior effects Of adopting the Lecompton' Con-

worse than referring back the question to the

est Democrats in the Nsrth, who can willingly
stand by us for justice and equality, but who
must leave us when we demand more and refuse
