Feejean Islands.

Speaking of the recent acquisition of these
Islands to the British Crown, the Folsom
Express makes the following interesting OBJ
servatons
1--WE have sailed in the immediate neigh
borhood of those islands, and certalnly " de,
clare them to be most favorably conditioned
as to climate. The natives are essentially OF
the Poynesian race. They know and care
little about clothing and house furniture,and,
as for money, they have no conception OF It's
use The bread tree gives them food; the
orange tree its juice; the hill ana wild
meadow birds and animals, and the prollhc
ocean around them, abundance of fish. Ihey
dive into the waves swim after the hsh Ike
creatures of the water, kill and carry them
ashore as trophies of battle but not always
without the battles scars. Their weapons
in this submarine warfare are clubs or flint
mounted spears. The shark affords an eX.
cellent nutrment when sun-dred. We
have ate Of it, on the voyage over those wa.
tiers, and thought it good-though a little
rank
The white man having set his foot in peace
and by contract of some kind on the terrific
rv, it is destined to become a great centre OF
trade civilization The dormant material OF
those islands will be developed by the aids
of science and experience. The natives may,
by the usual modes, be brought to do much
of the clumsy work required to bring SO
great surface into cultivation; but sooner
or later they are destined to perish on the
earth, trodden over By the white man.
Here is one more station for the Caucas-
slams commerce, established near enough to
California to be exceedingly profitable. Cot
ton. sugar and fruit can be raised, on these
Pacific islands to any conceivable quantity
limited only by the limit of laborers on the
fertile surface Instead of carrying this cot
ton all round the world, to be manufactured
in old and new England, and then reshipped
back, the intelligence and enterprise of the
age will quickly seize on the opportunity to
erect factories in California, Oregon, Van
couver and even on Frazer River, for the
manufacture of Polynesian cotton and New
England flax This is the work before us.
Beyond those Feejean Islands lie conven-
iently the Sandwich Islands. Farther over
is the newly possessed French group called
New Caledonia. which the present French
Emperor is cultivating Still farther to-
wards Australia, is New Zealand, in which
there is fast increasing white population
and land yielding the finest timber, hemp
flax, potatoes, grain, coal and minerals. An
other stage of six days sailing from New zea-
lard, bringing us to Melbourne, and thence
along to Sidney, Japan and Pekin.
And this consideration brings before lis
the necessity of establishing the proposed
line of steamers between San Francisco and
China, touching at all those points we have
suggested. We have personally the necessa-
ry ambition and experience to get on with
this great work, if we could but WOO men to
a full consideration of its great prospective
advantages to the individuals concerned, and
to the nation which shall take the lead in its
establishment"

bringing thirty days later intelligence than

No serious loss. The Chinese show great

YoUTnFUL DELINQUENTs.- Bob Durkin,
Jim Peterson, Mike McCarty, Chris. Dunn,
and Joe White. are boy thieves in the city of
San Francisco. The reporter of the S. F.
Times thus describes them, as he saw them
short time ago, when incarcerated in the sta
tion house for petty ofenses:
One little scamp was dealing, and the 9th
ers, with anxious and excited looks, were
eagerly awaiting the issue of the game
Dirty, besneared faces unkempt hair, and
evidences of premature disease were the cha
racteristics of the group. Some were with
out shoes, and all were clad in very filthy
ragged garments. They were by no means
disconcerted at the close inspection which
outsiders gave them through the iron bars,
and only deigned monosyllabes in answer to
the occasional questions addressed to them.
"Bab," said a reporter at our elbow, in an
insinuating tone to young Durkin--a thief
Of seven summers-"Bub, where were you
bornT Ctr was the contemptuous re-
sponse, followed by the exclamation, High
Jack, by G-d!' and Immediately a chorus
Of juvenile voices disputing over the classic
how oblivious were the players to the out
siders. The cell was damp and uncleanly,
and the air redolent of more smells and ef-
tiuvias than ever Coleridge accorded to the
city of Cologne. To us who had just left the
pure atmosphere, the stencil was almost un-
endurable, but frequent inhalation had ac-
customed the olfactories of the prison habitues
to its thick consistency, The scene was a
subject of merriment to some, but to the re-
Elective mind there was more material for a
homily on the rising generation. Beneath
the dirt, matured wickedness and blunted
sensibilities of these little wretches, there
may lurk the basis for improvement The
Industrial School should be the groundwork
for this reform, which we believe can never
be accomplished until that institutions is COM
pleted.

parations extant. 1t is especially adapted to those
who are afflicted with the Fever and Ague any other
disease arising from dsordered condition of the
digestive organs. For the Fever and Ague there is
perhaps, no medicine in the world equal to it, as it
enters purlfes and replenishes the blood, which is
important to bring about healthy action in diseases
of this nature. The Bitters are among the most
popular, and at the same time, valuable specifics in
the medicinal world. In recommending it to the pub
lie we are fully conscious Of doing them a great
vice, knowing as we do, their many excellent quail
ties and and speedy action in all where the
disease is caused by irreguary of the digestive

NoTIoE TO TAx-PAYERs.-T Lecompton
majority of the Legislature have employed
a reporter for the benefit Of their new organ,
the Standard, at the very modest rate of Sl4
per day Now, if the Legislature will pass
an act making it obligatory upon the State
Treasurer to pay off the hands employed on
the Standard every Saturday night, and to
foot its paper and ink bills, it will be but car
rying the joke one step farther, at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers, who. by the way
are supposed to be a wealthy set of "cusses, .
and perfectly able, if not willing, to support
q Lecompton paper at the capitol. Go on,
gentlemen, you are doing nobly. Don't be

matters of consequence to turn aside to notice

Deer SNow.-The mountains lying to the
north, says the San Juan Press, are thickly
covered with snow. At Arnold's Ranch it
lies thirty inches deep at the dollhouse five
feet The towns in Sierra county are almost
swallowed up in snow. At Forest City it
was over eight feet deep, but Mr. Rice has
continued to bring his express train through
every day. Monte Christie must be complete

much snow in the mountains for several

Owing to a want of space in our present
issue, we are compelled to defer our notice
of the Douglas nominations for Aldermen,
until to morrow. We are thus particular in
presenting the anteSedents, character and
standing of the Democratic nominees, be
cause we deem it the right of the people to
know for whom they are called upon to vote,
and because our nominees have a record
which is all the brighter for being known.
FATAL AcclDESr.-With pain, says the Los
Angeles Star. we are called upon to announce
the sudden death Of a lovely and most inter
esting child. Charles, younger son of Henry
and Susana Cardwell aged one year, eleven
months and twenty days. The child was
missed from the house but few minutes,
when search was made and the body found
drowned in the main zanja of the city, about
a quarter Of mile below the parents resi-
dence. A few minutes after the child was
missed, q favorite dog came into the house,
wet all over, telling in his own way, the me
lancholy accident that had happened; and
giving proof that he had used his best endea-
vors to save his young gmaster-unfortunately

THE NATIONAL ApMINIsrnArIox.-AW Wash
ington letter writer thus sarcastically re-
marks
1t would be treason to doubt that many Of
the doings of the present National Admins
tration will shine brightly upon the pages OF
Americtn history. But among its deeds OF
exalted patriotism and superior wisdom |
shall not be astonished if the briliancy OF
its financial policy outshines all its lesser
beauties. The history of nearly every ma
tion shows what q close relation the condi-
ton of its treasury bears to its dearest inter
ests-how revolutions have been precipita-
ted, national industry paralyzed, and nation
al disgrace provoked by the inetiiciency and
mismanagement of those to whom this impor.
tant branch of government was entrusted.
How happy we should be that our country
is shielded from all such dangers by that
king of financiers, Howell Cobb Disdain-
fully rejecting the maxims ofprudence which
control ordinary mortals, and scorning the
commonplace advice of John Randolph, who
vowed that the true philosophers stone was
to "pay as you go" Mr.. Cobb has never
filling resource-he proposes to borrow lie
borrows for the payment of the ordinary ex-
penses of Governments borrows the salary
of his officials; borrows the pay of the sol
diers of the army and the seaman of the
navy borrows the expenses of the Utah
war; borrows the money to erect buildings;
is ready to borrow thirty millions to purchase
Cuba, or, for the matter of that, to ask a loan
of one hundred and fifty millions to construct
the Pacific Railroad
Starting with a surplus of nearly twenty
seven millions of dollars, it has all been ex
pended. Thirty millions more have been
borrowed, and also expended At this mo.
ment the Treasury is in more depleted con
dition than it has been for years The most
pressing public claims remain unsatished,
and bills long overdue cannot be met. An
other loan of ten millions must Immediately
be had-to be, no doubt, succeeded by an
other, and yet another, and another, before
the year wears away. No nation under the
sun can long preserve its credit under poll
cy like this. Micaw Der himself, (whose sys
tenn is evidently the model which Mr.. Cobb
desires to imitate,) with all his ingenuity in
obtaining funds from his admiring friends in
exchange for his obligations, though he
waited as patiently and hopefully for some
thing to turn up" as our Secretary, was yet
often plunged into dire embarrassments, and
fear his imitator will fare no better than
the great original.
