A GREAT ICBBERG.-We learn from The
Alta that the clippership Unco,oah passed an
immense iceberg en- the 9Th of August
when about fifty miles to the southwark of
Cape Horn. s'This monster is estimated to
have been from eight to ten miles long, and
very high-a solid mass of ice, against
which the sea broke, as upon the iron-bound
shores of continent. At four miles dis
tancc the water abou. the ship was agitated
with ed1ies and ripples caused by the op-
posing presence of so large body to the
usual ocean currents. The sides along
which the ship passed appeared to be pre-
cipitous up for more than q hundred feet
from the water, when they broke up to-
wards the peaks in the interior of the island;
and down the sleeps, the spy-glass showed
the existence of great gullies and water
courses. When the sun shone full upon the
island it reflected the light with great bril-
liancy."

We have always been an advocate OLA Agricul-

Healdsburg University is founded upon this
plan, and if it is properly conducted by
competent instructors cannot fail to recon-
mend itself as the best educational institute
in the State. According to former pros
pectus there is connected with it farm of
one thousand acres of excellent arabic land.
Students will be required to labor four hours
each day, for which they will be allowed one

WAR TALK.-The newspapers of England
and the United States have INDUCED in a
great deal Of furious yaporing over the San
Juan Island dispute, but there is really no
sound reason to believe that such trfle
will cause war between the two nations
If the ranch in question was claimed by
two individuals, instead of by two great
governments, the ownership would speedily
be decided by peaceful litigation and shall
the two most progressive and closest allied
peoples on earth act less nationally? We
believe that they will proceed calmly and
temperately to an equitable adjustment of
the difficulty, and have no respect for that
class of journals, on both sides of the At
lantic, which is ever ready to blow the
smouldering GOALS of national antipathy
The mere idea that war is possible between
the two nations should not be tolerated.
Every patriot and lover Of humanity must
contemplate such possibility with sicken-
ing horror, for besides the immediate slaugh-
ter and ruin, and wide spread misery that
must inevitably attend struggle between
England and America, it would retard civ
ilization and the cause of earths suffering
masses at least century, and add new vi
tality to that fell military Spirit whose sus-
tenance is blood and anguish.

ARCTIC WHALEks.-From a report of the
Arctic whaling fleet to Sept. 9th, which is
published in the S. F. Times, we figure out
these results: Forty-fve vessels have Sc
cured an aggregate of 26,75O barrels of oil,
averaging $50 barrels to each vessel. The
highest number of barrels obtained by any
one vessel was 400, secured by the New
Bedford ship Scotland. Thirty-two of the
vessels were from New Bedford.

THE WELSH IN CALIFoRNIA.-The Pacific
Efpositor says that from information, con-
sidered wholly reliable, received by it, it is
estimated that from five to seven thousand
Welshmen are scattered over the hills and
valleys of this State. There is understood
to be but'Uneminister of the gospel laboring
among them, who is able to speak their ma
tive tongue. This is the Rev. David j.
Lewis, missionary of the Presbyterian Board
of Domestic Missions. He goes from village
to village in the mountains, and from one
mining camp to another, wherever his coun-
trymen are to be found.
At North San Juan a great many Welsh
men are settled with their families, and are
among the most industrious, prosperous and
yirtuous of our citizens. Until recently they
enjoyed regular preaching in their own Ian
guage from Rev. Mr.. Powell In the alb

EURoPE.--France and Austria are making
peace at.Zurieh, but the Italians threaten to
work out for themselves the sequel which
they failed to obtain by their late struggle
under Louis Napoleon. Their refusal to al

The Italians are evidently not satisfied with
the peace of Villa Franco, and we may soon
hear of their advancing to more glorious
peace under the leadership of Garabaldi,
who has lately been called the Washington
