THE WATER SrRrKE.-Bv reference


to the published proceedings of
meeting of the miners of Columbia,
Kennebec and Chimney Hill Districts,
ito be found in another column, it will
be seen that all labor has been suspen-
ded in those places and a determined
strike made for the reduction of water
rates From all that we can learn, the
miners in these districts are driven to
this step by necessity. At twenty-five
cents an inch their claims will not yield,
as rule, more than water money. Such
being the case it would be folly for them
to continue work. A reduction of the
price of water to fifteen cents would,
they contend, allow them chance to
make wages from their diggings. As
the interests of miners and ditch owners
are mutually dependent, it is to be hoped
for the good of both that the latter will
accede to the demand for reduction,
which, under the circumstances, is not
unreasonably made. A long strike will
prove disastrous to all parties, but par
ticularly SO to the ditch owners, for the
miners will sooner leave their diggings
altogether than pay for water every dol
lar they yield. The value of diggings
must always regulate that of water, and
it is poor policy to hold out for high
price thsn the miner can afford to give.
THE FOLSOM EXPRESS. paper
is SUI generis in California The editor
is Thomas Mooney Esqr., the we'll known
anthor of history of Ireland, which
work he is now republishing in the En-
press He has attracted some attention
by his scheme for line of Australian
and China steamers, and by his propo-
sition to build and supcrintend the pro-
posed Branch State Prison These three
things make his paper peculiar, to say
nothing of it's intense Irishism. He
appeals for support particularly to his
own nationality, and certainly makes
the paper of much interest to his coun-
trymen. We regret, however, to see an
American journal wear such foreign
aspect. We ought to be all country
men, and all Americans here.
The Etpress asks us to mention the
name of some worthy, whole-souled
Irish citizen of this place, to act as
agent. Sam Abbey is the best fellow
we know for the purpose, and is already
in the news business.

HYDRAULIC.

BRANDY CITY.-This fourishing
mining locality is situated on the north
bank of the North Yuba, in Sierra
county, about six miles from Campton-
vile and fourteen from San Juan. The
town was started in 1855, and is now a
place of some pretension, blessed with
the presence of twenty-five or thirty
families, and containing numerous mi
ming population. The diggings are
supplied with water by Cole & Stevens
ditch, which is nine miles long-head-
ing at Canyon Creek, and carries l,40O
inches of water. The price per inch is
twenty-five cents. The diggings are
mostly deep, and worked by the hydrau-
lie process. As water is not abundant
at all seasons the miners Improve the
present time of plenty by working day
and night. They cave their dirt during
the day, and rush it off Juring the night.

To Young Men.

In lecture to young, men, recently
delivered at Mobile, by the Rev. DR.
Lord, we find the following suggestive
and beautiful passage:
"Dare the young husband at the al
tar of the Most High God swear to
cherish and protect until death shall
break the golden chain, the fair and
timid girl who stands at his side, who
forsakes for him the fathers care and
the mothers tenderness, and then 60
away to the paths of sin, and brutalize
himself to death ? Dare he bring dis
honor upon the wife of his bosom, and
leave in misery and want what he
found in beauty and happiness?
Dare he substitute n drlvellng
drunkard for the promising youth, who
in the glory of his MANHOOD, vowed
before heaven and in the presence of
angels and men, to be to her in place
of-nay, more-all.kindred and friends;
Dare he leave to his innocent children
the Inheritance of an evil example, and
worse than all, the constitutional taints,
profigacy or intemperance, the fearful
law by which the Supreme Judge visits
the iniquities Of the father upon the
children ?''

had gained the lady's appreciation; he
was, of course, referred to papa. Hav-
ing stated his probably not unexpected
case, the younger gentleman was d.
rected to desire the lady to come to
her father, and doubtless her obedience
was prompt. Prof. Wilson had before
him, for review, some work, on the flv-

I" Wfth the authors compliments" He
tore this out, pinned it to his daughters
dress, solemnly led her to the young
lover, and went back to his work.

From the Home Circle.
The Old, Old Home.

When long for sainted memories,
Like angel troops they come,
If fold my arms to ponder
On the old, old home.
The heart has many passages,
Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the thoughts of old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered
Like rosebuds from the blast,
Where boyhood's brief elysium-
In joyousness was passed;
To that sweet spot forever,
As to some hallowed dome,
Life's pilgrim bends his vision,
IT'S his old, old home.
A father sat, how proudly
BY that hearth stones rays,
And told his children stories
Of his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beaming-
From child to child 'twould roam,
Thus a mother counts her treasurers
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn,
(Some dear ones who were swelling it
Arc with the seraphim)
The fond "good-nights" at bedtime
How quiet sleep would come,
And hold us all together
In the old, old home.
Like wreath of scented flowers,
Close intertwined her heart:
But time and change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart.
But saiuted memories
Like angels ever come,
If | fold my arms and ponder
On the old, old home
