Tee manY Irons In the Fire.
What business has the County Judge with
the Presidency Of Railroad? The Law re-
quires that he shall keep his ONCE opsn oil
the sins, and the salary paid him is designed
to be in confederation for his entire time
Yet Judge Boyles, % We understand, figured
himself into the Presidency Of Railroad,
and tpens weeks and months in the East in
ito service. And in the meantime, ~ appears
from his Exhibit, hs drew his full salary,
$1,000, ~ County Judge, and paid Goodrich
out Of the County Treasury fer attending TO
the duties Of the Office.
No wonder County orders are down to six
~ cents on the dollar the Judge has sstoo
many irons in the ere.

ADVERTISEMENTS on reasonable terms
The hydraulic press., 1859-10-22

THE TRUE PIoNEERs.-We recognise but
two classes of individuals as pioneers. The
first, those whom we designate by the title
of the Veteran Band of Pioneers men who
set out for this country while yet but little
was known of it; when the way before them
was an untraveled wilderness, and no path
way served to guide them on their course,
they led the van of civilization through the
deep gorges of the Rocky Mountains and
over the sandy plains, ns,-themselves exploring
the way, setting up the landmarks, and
making the paths which others were to tread
in comparative safety. The second, those
who are contending against wrong, ignor-
snce and oppression who are making dis
coveries in science and art, and improve
ments in the moral and physical condition
of mankind who are the advocates OF Re-
form, and the Representatives of Progress ;
who are making their influence felt for good,
and who, in time to come, shall be regarded
as benefactors of their race.-Hespsrtan.
The hydraulic press., 1859-10-22

GAMBLINa.-The evils of gambling, in
Marysville, says the Democrat, are becoming
fearful Men of family are squandering at
to the support of their wives and children
young men, whose sole means of sustaining
themselves and those dependent upon them
are their salaries as clerks, have lost their
situations on account of their continued de-
votions to the shrine of Chance. They are
now loose upon the town, and cause grief to
their relatives and friends.
tits time these gambling hells were broken
up, and we sincerely trust that stringent
measures will be adopted shortly.
The hydraulic press., 1859-10-22
The Sacramento Soil Impoverished.

1t is fact, acknowledged by our farmers,
that the soil in this vicinity does not now,
and has not for two, three or four years past,
produced near as much to the acre as il did
in 1851 3, or for some seasons after it
was first broken up. Why is this The
winters have been as wet and the summers
as propitious lately as formeriy-the land is
as we'll cultivated-of the seed there has
been no cause of complaint, and the whole
routine of husbandry, from the ploughing
of the soil to the sacking of the grain, is at
tended with as much care as ever before.
The cause then, of this falling off in the
products is net to be found in the seasons
or seed, but is discoverable in the negligence
of the farmers, who, in the main, make no
efforts to return to the earth portion of
that fertility which they annually extract
from it.
We know of many thousands of acres OF
rich alluvial soil, from which nine successive
crops of wheat or barley have been taken,
in as many years, while not spadeful of
manure or enriching compost of any kind
has been returned to it for all this fruitful
ness. No soil however fertile, can submit
to such treatment and continue to give forth
in abundance. 1t becomes impoverished,
and to bring it back to its wonted vigor,
must have nourishment; which can be had
in two ways, either by manuring it or by
turning up new earth by deeper plowing.-

The Liberal party in Mexico have lately
suffered some reverses in the field. They
have lost possession Of San Louis Potosi
and the port of Alvarado. Meanwhile the
Liberal President, Juarez, continues to full
inmate DEGREES limiting the power of the
clergy. His latest one restricts the number
of holy days, on which all business must be
suspended, to nine besides Sundays. The
sacred days have been SO numerous in days
past as to keep the populace idle good
share of the time. .

issue the veteran hero of Lundy's Lane has
been the guest of California and left its
shores for the northern coast, where he will
beyond doubt effect pacific settlement o.
the San Juan Island dispute. The Sar
Franciscans surprised him with an enthusi-
astic reception on Sunday, some forty thou
sand people crowding the streets to behold
him and do him honor as be passed in pro
cession with his military and civic friends.

SALT LAKR.-We clip the following des-
cription of Salt Lake from one of Horace
Greeley's letters, published in the New York
7,I5sne, Of the 5th of September:
"That this Lake should be salt is NO an
omaly. All large bodies Of water into
which streams discharge themselves, while
they have severally no outlet, are or should
be salt. If one such is fresh, that is an an
omaly indeed. Lake Utah probably receives
as much saline matter as Salt Lake but she
discharges it through the Jordan and re-
mains itself fresh while Salt Lake, having
no issue save by evaporation, is, probably,
the safest body of water on earth. The
Ocean is comparatively fresh even the Med
iterranean at Leghorn is not half so salt.
am told that three barrels of water yield a
barrel of salt; that seems rather strong, yet
its intense saltness, NO one who hasn't had it
in his eyes, his mouth, his nostrils, can re-
alize. You can no more sink in it than in q
clay bank, but very little of it in your
lungs would suffice to strangle you. You
make your way in from hot rocky beach,
over chaos of volcanic basalt that is try
ing to the feet; bct at depth of yard or
more you have a fine sand bottom, and here
the bathing is delightful
The water is of light green color for ten
or twenty rods; then deeply, darkly, beau
tifully blue" No fish can live in it, no frogs
abide it; few birds are ever seen dipping
inte it. The rugged mountains in and
around it--just such scarped and scanned
and quilted precipices as | have been des-
cribing ever since reached Denver-have
little fir and cottonwood or quaking asp in
their deeper raSines or taller cliffs, but look
bare and desolate to the casual observer:
and these cut the lake into sections and hide
most of it from view. Probably less than a
third of it is visible from any single point,
but this sufices.'

about the close of the second century by

forty years. There are two Talmuds-one
