Young gentlemen afflicted with the Pixies Peak
fever will be interested in the following statement
from reliable gentleman in the new FL Dorado, of
the manner of gathering gold in the diggings. A
man takes frame work Of heavy timbers, built like
stone boat, the bottom of which is composed Of
heavy iron rasps. This frame work is hoisted up to
the top of the Peak, and the man gets on and slides
down the side of the mountain. As he goes swiftly
down, the rasps on the bottom of the frame work
scrape off the gold in immense shavings, which curl
up to the machine, and by the time the man gets
to the bottom, nearly ton Of gold is following him.
This is the common manner of gathering it

The CONVENTION. the proceedings in an
other column, readers will perceive that the re-
suit of the deliberations of the Democratic Conven
ton held here on Tuesday last terminated in the
unanimous nomination of the Hon. A. NJ. Scales for
reelection to Congress. This result was anticipated
all Sides and indeed there but one voice and
one spirit manifested in regard to the nomination
1t was the unanimous sentiment of the Convention
that the nomination eminently due to Mr.. Scales
from from every consideration that could be brought
to bear. Not a delegate was present who did not
seem proud to assist in doing honor to so gallanta
leader, so true and faithful public servant and
good man. His denomination, with such unanim-
ity and enthusiasm, by Convention 50 full and re-
fccting so clearly the sentiments Of the Democracy
of the District must indeed prove Aattering assn
rance of the high position he has attained in the af
fections of the people, and of the confidence they
have found it safe to repose in him. We place his
name at the head of our columns, this week, with
peculiar qualifications and as the campag progress
SEES it shall be our pride and pleasure to defend it,
as far as in our power, from the aspersions which,
in the heat of political contest with an enemy so
unscrupulous rs the party shall encounter, may
be used to cast odium and ignominy upon it. 1t is
a pleasure indeed to support such man as Alfred
NJ Scales. There is nothing of the demagoguc -
nothing of the professional politician, about him.-
He is patriot apd man of the people-iearless up
right Straightforward in all his actions. The peo-
pie entrusted him with their confidence two years
ago and he has not failed to show himself worthy
of it. Again his political friends have nominated
him for the station worthiy filled; and it is for
the people to ratify reject that nomination, to
them seems fit We have no fears as to the result;
but we would urge upon our democratic friends in
every part of the District the Importance of active eff
fort in behalf of principles, for in vigilance and
unity there is safety-in Reorganization there is
death. Let every county determine to rival the
rest in giving to Mr.. Scales an increased majority
over the opposition candidate. Let the old Demo
cratic spirit be aroused, every Democrat going hear
tly to work for the success of the cause, and we
shall triumph by more than 1000 majority.
We were much gratitied to see so large an atten
dance at the Convention, and so harmonious feel
ing exhibited 1t shows that however divided or
disorganzed the party may be in some localities, the
Democracy of the sixth District will stand united in
the coming struggle Winston Sentinel.

DEIFYISG THE FEMALE SEx-Rev. DIR. Alexander,
in his recent volume of Sermons, uters the follow
ing solemn warning:
What horrid fraud Satan is practising on the
Church in regard to the daughters of the covenant.
In fashionable circles-dare I name them Chris
tans-the years where grlhood merges into mat,l-
rlty are frequently sold to the adversary. The
young American woman is taught to deem herself
goddess If there be wealth. if there be accomplish
mcnts, if there be beauty, almost a miracle seems
necessary to prevent the los of the soul Behold
her pass from the pedestal to the altar. The charm
ing victim is decked for sacr fee. Every breath
that comes to her is incense Her very studies are
to lit her for admiration Day and night, the cay
but wretched maiden is taught to think of self and
selfish pleasures Till some Lenten fashion of sol
emnity interrupt the whir the season is too short
TOR the engagements Grave parents shake their
heads at magnificent apparel, costly gems night
turned into day, dances, at which the Romans would
have blushed, pale checks, bending frames threat
ened decay; and yet they allow and submit And
thus that sex, which ought to show the sweet un-
selfish innocency of holy YOUTH is carried to the
overheated temples Of pleasure Thus the so-called
Christian verifes the Apostles maxim: "She that
liveth in pleasure, is dead while she liveth."

PLorG1ING.-The foundation of the years work
for every cultivated crop is plete and thorough

powng will put the ground in better condition for

after pains remedy the DEFICIENCIES. 1t is Of the
utmost Importance, then. to be prepared in every
point for the proper execution Of so heavy part Of
the farm labor.
Turn furrow of seven inches deep at the least.
and the nearer it approaches to twelve inches, the
better There may be soils that form exceptions to
the rule of deep ploughing; and which require from
some popularity in the subsoil, gradual deepen

We nave, without fear, thrown up four inches of
the clay Sub-soil which had never seen the light be-
fore. the surface of bed of ten inches and
with moderate manuring, made the best crop of
corn the land had produced within the memory of
living men, We look upon deep sol! as the very
first requisite Of the successful cultivation of almost
every crop. Summer crops, very uncertain on
shallow->oil, are almost insured against the viciSsi
tndes of the season in deep one. We DO hot think
the all important corn crop would ail of good
yield one year in twenty, planted On bed Of twelve
inches in depth

much value to allow any risk of imperfect prepare

of the Richmond Enquirer says:
by the statistics of insanity in this State, it is
found that commercial revulsons have good deal to
do with its increase.
Those who lost their reason from business per-
plex,ieS and loss of fortune, were IN greater num-
Der during the panic of 1S575S, than in any Of the
preceding six years. Political revolutions, ALSO in
crease the number of the insane French phySi-
clans state that the revolution lI93 and subsequent
commissions, largely increased the number of insane
patients.
Within our personal knowledge, we have known
quite number of persons who lost their reason
through the excitement growing out of stock Specu
lationS in Wall street, some cases of which we!e of
very remarkable character. They in most cases
were well and respectfully Connected and the dcvr
oI,lnent of insanity were sent to the Bloomingcale
Asylum, where the most of them lived bat . short
time.
What is remarkable from insanity thus induced
we never heard or knew of solitary case of recov
cry. Their whole nervous system becomes morbid
ly excited by the daily anxiety attending the rise
and fall of stocks. Their regular meals are neglect
ed, their sleep disturbed, and unrelrrShlng nervous
