IL
Sam, the little man, has this day
Been opening GOODS both fresh and gay,
He received near every kind
That You in any city can find;
Aud as he purchased by the bale,
He is determined to RETAIL
For READY PAY, a little lower
Than ever has been had before.
He with his brethren means 20 live,
But as for CREDIT shall not give,
He wouldn't live to rouse your passion,
For CREDIT here is out OF fashion;
His friends and buyers one and all,
tn pay you well to give call,
You'll always find him by his sign,
On Main street, Number 40.
Further more you will bear in mind,
Embrich takes funds of ev'ry kind,
And broken Banks ut higher rates,
As can be had in other States;
The city's credit he'll defense,
Take their orders at 90 cents,
So If bargains you wish to meet,
Go to 40, on Main street.

A New History of the United States.

A Britisher, who lately travelled all over this
country, while ho stayed in New York, went
home and got up book of travels, which he
intends shall be a British history of the United
States. From one of the proof sheets We have
been kindly permitted by the author to copy
one Of the chapters. 1t is late news, which
very few Of our readers have ever read:
SUMMARY Before went to America, I had
heard much Of American natural scenery I
came to sec it for myself. I have traversed
the country from the colonial dependence Of
Her Most Gracious Majesty in Canada to the
Rocky Mountains, and l saw nothing that
could be called worthy of the artists or poets
observation. 1t is true that Canada has some
charming scenery, which has been much i'm.
proved by British taste and art--the natural
consequences Of the refinement and cultivation
of the inhabitants but whenever one crosses
into the States, the country exhibits either
wild forests or naked prairies, both of which
are dangerous to travel through, in consequence
of the quantities of voraoious animals they
contain. A distinguished member of the
United States Parliament informed mo that q
railroad train last year was attacked by drove
of raocoons, while crossing prairie, and every
passenger destroyed. These raccoons arc the
terror Of this wild country, and have depopn-
lated thousands of miles of its surface

operation in 1859, in fifteen counties from which
Information has been obtained, three hundred
and thirty three quartz crushing mills, tho ma
chinery of which had cost $780, 900.
The richest quartz vein ia the State ia that
of Allison's Ranche, which is believed to be the
richest gold mines in tbs world. The frat sixty
three tuns Of quartz from this vein produced
$4,000. The vein or lode, called lead by the
miners, was opened in 1856. The yield during
the ensuing two years was estimated al
81, 500 OOO Eight thousand tuns of rock have
been crushed, which has yielded 5000 per tuu
Street & Soulsby's claim, In Tuolumne County

00O Colonel Fremont's Mariposa Rancho
Mines are yielding him, 1t Is estimated, S., 600
per week. The authorities adopted by the
Register state the production to have been very
uniform since 1854, at about $4,000 pel

The WINANs SrEAMER.-The editor of the
Portlaed Argus, while at Baltimore, on Thurs
day last, made an excursion in her. He says
that "time occupied in this trip Of thirty
four miles, was just two hours and q half from
the time the fastenings were cast off from tho
wharf until she was again at her mornings and
We upon terra Jirma." This must be consid-
cred an admirable performance. When the
vessel was going at the rate of sixteen miles an
hour, there was scarcely any perceptible jar,
and the disturbance Of the water by the pass
age Of the vessel was marvelously slight. So
clean, indeed, was her movement, that skiff
would scarcely have felt any agitation in
crossing her wake.

city for the purpose of committing deprsda-
tions. He was Immediately taken into fellow
ship, and told several PLAUSIBLE stories. A
few nights since he succeeded in inducing
Officers Leonard and Lipponoott to watch a
boarding house on Fifth street, assuring them
that aplan was on foot to enter and rob the
same. The officers repaired to the spot desig-
mated, and waited with patience the approach
of the robbers, but none appeared. About the
same hour designated, a burglary was COM
mitted on Sixth street, and the officers, believ-
ing that Wendrum was "sharper," arrested
him yesterday, and had him tried In the Police
Court on charge Of ysgrancy. He was
recognised in the Court by gentleman from
st. Louis as an old vagrant, and was sent

of thirty days. His Daguerreotype adorns the

pT Messrs. Tyndal and Frankland have
just made a successful ascent of Mount Blanc.
On August 81, these two English savan reached
the summit where they placed their tent of
India-rubber on the sOuth-side, and prepared
to pass the night, with the intention Of return
ing at ten O'Clock the following morning, which
they accordingly did. Thus these two gentle
men sojourned on the summit of Mount Blanc
for the space of twenty hours, with their three
guides and seven porters. Thus this hazard
ous enterprise, which was the first attempt of
the kind which has been made, was happily
crowned with success. The party suffered
from violent attacks Of headache, exactly re-
sembling sea- sickness in their effects, and from
which none Of them were exempt.
