dren of the gruff worshipers of the Scandi-
navian Thor and Odin, have made prodi-
gious forward leap in civilization, since the
days OF Saul and Jonathan.
Iron is the great civilizing and humaniz-
ing metai-although swords, bayonets, rifles,
and cannons are formed of it-and no nation,
ignorant of its production arrd uses, can be
considered as out of the swaddling clothes
of barbarism. California is very great
State-a golden State-with the most Wig
orous and energetic population, mentally
and physically, that ever conquered a Wild
erncsS or built an empire; and yet, until
iron shall have been dragged from its lurk-
ing places and made to pass through the fire
We dare not, with the lights of history and
experience before us, predict long contin-
uance of Californian prosperity. Iron is
your true Democratic mineral-your genu-
inc combination of the utife ct dhEce, the use
ful with the ornamental-and bears about
the same relation to gold that the sober and
thinking mechanic bears to the idle and
soft-headed dandy.

COMMUNICATED

Editor Hydraulic Press In your last
number, under the caption of 'Who are our
Great Men n is a very able editorial, which
attempts TO prove that "the real motors and
upbearers of civilization are mechanical
inventors and men of science have no ex-
ceptions to take to the views you present
on the contrary, cordially endorse them
bat l visa to know what YOU mean by the
assertion, that e'Religion, when stripped ol
bigotry and superstition, is the natural
friend and companion of science?" Imerely
ask for informatien. NO BIGOT.
We meant precisely what we said; and,
as there is no ambiguity in the language we
employed, it surprises us somewhat that our
friend, 'No Bigot," can pretend not to catch
our meaning. 1t may be that the exact def
milton of the word t'religioa" is what puzzles
him. If so, we shall endeavor to enlighten
him by appealing to very high authority
James, the most perspicacious and demon
of Jesus, says, in the 27th verse of the Ist
chapter of his epistle, that
'1urc religion anu unuenieu before TOD
and the Father is this: To visit the father
less and widows in their affiction, and t.
keep himself uuspotted from the world
This is the only definition of religion
that can be found in the New Testament
and, indeed, the word no where else occurs
in the Bible from the first chapter of Gene
sis to the last of Revelations. Religion,
then, according to this most high and eener-
able authority, is nothing more nor less than
AN ACTIVE BENEyoLENcE coNJoISED WITH A
RIGID AVOIDANCE OF EVIL ACTIONS AND EVIL
ASSOCIATIONS.
With this definition, against which, we
opine, no objections can be successfully
urged: we cannot see any incompatibility in
the union of pure religion with pure science;
and, therefore, we again repeat that "Reli-
gion, when stripped of bigotry and supersti-
ton, is the natural friend and companion of
science;" in other words, that kindly ma
ture and strictly yirtuous life, unmixed
with neurological *hims and vagaries, are
potent aids in the Investigation of the laws
and operations of nature.

IRON. THE cIvILIzING METAL.


The old Greeks, in all esthetic and artis-
tic qualities, very far transcribed their CO.
temporaries, and, in architecture and sculp-
ture, the least perishable of the arts. have
left yestiges Of their skill and taste which
modern art is satisfied in initiating, without
dreaming of improving or surprising the
models. The painting and music of these
old Greeks, being, in their nature, transient.
have been lost to modern perceptions but
there is little danger of mistake in infer
ring that they were fully as meritorous, in
completeness aad beauty, rs their sister arts,
tempie-building and statuary, which have
lived into our own times, despite of vandal-
we call thenl, these same old Greeks stood
pre-eminent, in their own days, and, by uni
versal modern consent, stand pre-eminent
even ir oars. But, with all due Difference to
their esthetic and artistic capabilities and
achievements, we must be permitted to say,
that their mythology was supremely ridicu-
&ouS ANA cOntempuole ANYBODY can lad
out what we mean by this assertion, who
will take the trouble to read Toole's Pam
theon, or Homer's Had, or Ovid's Metamor-
phoses. For our present parpose, we shall
let their nonsensical legends of Chaos and
Old Night, Saturn and Jove, Olympus
and Erebus, slip oat Of sight, while we take
exceptions to their fancifIl classification and
successional order of what they call the
AGES
They had, or believed in, an age of gold,
an age of silver, an age of bronze, an age of
iron, and perhaps, some other ages, all of a
metallic ring, but all equally unphilosophical
and false. Their age of gold was an age of
bodily ard mental nuditys

THE MARYsvILLE APPEAL.-Our much re
spected friend, Brother Avery, is now ain
the full tide of successful experiment. ex-
pounding the doctrines of Republcanisrn,
in the Alarysville APpeal. Having no part or
lot in the politics of the day, and compelled
to look upon both Democrats and Repubii-
cans as upon well-meaning people who are
slightly ignorant of what they ought to do,
we consider it no disparagement to our pro-
fessed neutrality to say that Brot her Avery
is editing the Appeal with marked ability.
The true gentleman is so inextricably inter
woven with the warp and Noof of his
character, that he cannot write an ungentle-
manly editorlal if his political fortunes, or
even his life, depended on it. We hope the
Apostles of Republcanism, in Marysville,
will not seek to change the order of his ma
ture and try to make him rant and scold.--
Like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, in their
covert attempts to fish Hamlet's secret from
his bosom, they may fret him; but they can
not play upon him.

ToBAcco.-The Stockton Republican says;
specimens of real Cuban Tobacco have at
tanned hourishihg growth in st. Annie's
Valley. Some OF the stalks are very largei
and the leaves of immense size. This shows
that Tobacco will grow in California, and it
is quite likely that considerable attention
will be directed to its culture at some future
time.

PREcAuTtoxARY.- - The Sabbath School
Convention, lately held in San Francisco
passed the following resolution
Resolred, That this Convention would re-
spectfully suggest to all Sunday Schools, the
necessity ofcarefully guarding Sunday School
excursions and festivals against dancing and
such other methods of amusement, as lead
the children into the follies and sins of the
world.
How sadly Behind the age are these zeal
Gus workers in the Christian vineyard
Like the Bourbons. as described by the first
Napoleon, "they learn nothing and they for
get nothing" The universally of dancing
either as a genial and health giving
amusement, or as religious ceremonial
proves that it has its growth and existence
in a fixed law of our human nature. Fanat-
les may fight against nature till they are
tired, bat they cannot reverse her laws.

"To simpleton sages and reas soning fools y;
but the wise man of the nineteenth century
knows that, until iron was digged from the
bowels of the generous earth, mankind must
have been in state of pitiable savagery.-
The iron age-whenever or wherever it COM
menced-was the dawn of civilization
Until man had learned the art oftransmuting
the crude iron ore into axes, and hammers,
and knives, and saws, and augers, his con-
dition could have been only one remove
above that of the chimpanzee or oran-ou-
tang. lie might have had great nuggets of
gold suspended TO the cartilages of his nose
and ears, and ponderous rings of it encirc

The Hebrews, according to their historian,
who recorded the biographies Of their great
priest and prophet, Samuel, and their first
and very ill-fated King, Saul, must, shortly
after the latter began his reign, have been
sadly low in the scale of civilization
In the 10Th, goth, 21st, and 22d verses of the
23d chapter of 1st Samuel, it appears that,
at the moment when Saul was about to lead
his people to battle against the invading
Philistines, there were but two swords to be
found in his whole army-and they belonged
to him and his son Jonathan-for, in the
terse language of the Israelitish annalist,
"there was no smith found throughout all
the land" Every Hebrew, it seems, was ac-
customed to take his ploughshare, his coul.
ter, his az, and his mattock to the Philistine
smiths to be mended and sharpenedj and
we can well imagine the Inconvenience and
distress of Saul's unweaponed subjects, when
compelled into war with their ingenious
and civilized neighbors. 1t was like rab-
BILE of naked Utah Indians, confronted with
well disciplined and well appointed army
of United States soldiers. Jehovah, in Sc
lecting the Hebrews as his chosen people,
seemed to ignore the necessity of enhancing
their intellectually by any revelations of
mechanical science. Their descendants,
