Enterprise and Geological Science.
A letter from Philadelphia gives an ac-

A letter from Philadelphia gives an ac-
count of the results of the enterprise of II.
c. Carey, the well known political econo-
mist Of that city, in sinking shaft to one
of the most important coal veins in the
State. He began it and persevered in it,
year after year, against the opinions and
protests of his friends, till he had expended
upwards of $685. in the work. He form
ed his theory of the dip of the coal from
critical geological observations. He then
began and pursued his labors, with entire
confidence in the final success, through all
the seasons Of doubt, among both prac-
teal and scientific men, who watched
his progress till he reached the COAL Thou
sands Of anxious minds looked on while
this huge undertaking was in progress,
some doubtful of its success, but all hoping
that it might prove fortunate. For years he
persevered without faltering either in cour-
age or in dollars, and the completion of the
enterprise established the truth of most
important theory. The shaft struck the
great Mammoth Coal Vein exactly as he had
predicted, and the crowning proof thus af-
forded of where it lay, and how with GER
tainty il might be reached by other owners,
gave new and positive value to neighboring
properties, which heretofore had been of q
doubtful character. The capacity Of the
single shaft thus sunk by Mr.. Carey is equal
to the production of loo, 900 tuns OF coal
per annum. By this successful experiment
he has added millions of dollars TO the value
of the property of his neighbors, by show
ing them where they can with certainty find
precious deposit.

THE INDIAN MISUNDERSTANDING declared
the Humboldt Indian war ended the Northern
Californian said:
"When these Indians are safely shipped 10 the
reservation, the long and serious difficulties with
a hostile tribe-their aggressions and disturb
anccs will have ceased. A great and permanent
good has been obtained by this campaign, and it
now remains for the state to grant the full meas
ure OF recompensc, to these troops, which the SER
vice fairly demands.
"They have been exposed TO the brunt of a
rigorous season, unparalleled since the settlement
OF this section-thcy have discharged their duties
spite of the dangers and difficulties of the cam
paign, with fidelity and zeal creditable to them
selves and leader, AMI with measure of success
uncqualcd in any Indian campaign hitherto con-
Quoted on this coast. From the private TO the
commanding officer all deserve that reward, that
TO service attended with such hardships is but
fair and Just.
"The amount actually due from the State to
these volunteers according to the statute, is tri
fling in comparison with the amount of good they
have done II their services are to he paid in
accordance with the statute, we urgcotly recon-
mend the prompt and immediate settlement of
their dues The men are already involved TO the

SEVERITY NEcESsARY.-Assault,s shooting and
stabbng seem to increase in frequency. The Sc
vcrest penalties should be apportioncd the trans
gressors, or the condition Of society will soon be
uncomfortable. Gaming, cOwhiding and slapping
of faces are indgnities 10 which no white man
should submit severe penalties should follow
such provocation, as well as the consequent re-
sentiment individuals disarmed by the law
should be protecte from outrage by more pow
erful assailants but now any well dressed buck
may slap plain mans face or knock him on the
head with club, and escape with a trifling fine
for assault. Properly protect all men from per-
sonal indgnity, or allow every one to be his own
avenger. Imprson and disgrace the brutal as.
sailant, as well as madened retalator. The com
mon penalty Of assault is far to lenient there
are many large minds in small and helpless bod
les which may be easily beaten down and trod-
den on by greater physical proportion. The law
does not protect the weaker he sees his enemy
lightly punished and dismissed he obtains
knife or pistol and thereafter undertakes to re-
dress his own wrongs
This is subject for thinking law repairers to
reflect on. Manslaughter and assassination, with
their long record Of blood, imperatively demand
reflection.

LANDMARKS OF ExIsTENCE.-All along the way
of human progress multiform landmarks remain.
The massive pyramids, the mysterious tower, the
crumbling pillar, the shattered arch, the rudely
tculptured tomb and the rough, commemorative
stone-pile declare the pathway of gonc-out life
and intelligence. Newdiscovered countries re-
veal the dwellings and burial places of races ex-
tinct and skeletons of creatures unknown to nat
uralists of this time Theologians and geologsts
nominate the time of Creation, but The reflective
woodsman overlooking the deep cbasm, seeming
ingly cut through solid rock, wonders if the
world is no older, and calculates what fraction
Of an inch could the water cut from its hinty bed
in n lifetime like his The traveller fingers by
the subtcrranean firepaccs of the Muskingunr
and wonders if the skeletons there found in low
ing embrace died because of Adams transgres1
sion and were buried at the mighty funeral of
the Deluge?

THE CAPITAL MovEMENT.-Dscussing the policy
of removing the Capital, the Pacific newspaper,
published at San Francisco, says:
If the question were, simply, whore ought the
Capital to be ? it would be easily answered, at
Sacramento, and nowhere else for the present.
But this is not the question. The question is
simply one of dollars and cents-a question Of
good, better, best bargan--ho how much shall we
make by the operation? The State is fearfully
poor, and penny saved, just now is as good as
two earned.
Gentlemen, if you will please adjourn at once,
enough will be saved by the State to buy all the
ground that can be needed for Capital purposes,
and have some left to commence with and few
early adjournments in time to come will save
enough to finish the finest CAPITAL in the Union.
To build the Capital by sarings will. we think, be
the most handsome thing in the way of fnancicr-
ing, as well as one of the greatest wonders of the
age.

IT is not wonderful that Gov. Douglas, at Vic
toria refused to permit American residents to
fire cannon on Washngton's birthday; even so
far back as 177G, British sui iccts betrayed abhor-
renee Of American cannon firing, and on several
memorable occasions left the place of shooting
with amazing celebrity. This is a very ancient
popularity Of British subjects.
