BAYARD TAYLoR ON PAPAL DEsPoTIsM.-lh have
read, during ths past week, in various pape S,
that the Papal States are the worst governed in
Europe. | have read il often. The precise nature
and extent. OF this desPOiism am little in the
dark about Our general enlig hteners, the edi-
tors, do not condos ,end 70 come down TO the par
ticulars Still a plain man may be permitted to
ask few questions. In what does this despotisin
of the Papal Government consist
''Is IL that clergymen hold office, For many
years there hes been a smaller proportion Of cler
gymen hold NJ ofiice in the Roman states than In
some of the Stats Of the Union, and their salaries
have been in Still smaller proportion TO those Of
secular officers. Is 10 In the expense of the
Government IL Is one Of the most economical
in Europe Tie salsries Of the higher officers of
State do not exceed a.. 600 year; and the whole
civil list costs about $500, 600, ..-
"Ars the people ground down with taxes, The
taxes In Rome Is far less than in England France
Or New York. Are they deprived OF the benefits
OF education! The Papal States, with a popula-
ton Of less than 600 OoO have seven Universities
and tbs city of Rome has more free public schools
than New York, in proportion to her population,
and what is SUI better, larger proportion Of
children attend them.
''Perhaps, the poor are tncared for and their
sufsJings refted with neglect. There are more
and better free hospitals for the sick, the poor ,
and aged. tbs suffering of every class, in Rome
In proportion 20 the population, than in any other
city In tbs world. 10 IS not asked in Rome what
Is mans country or creed. Perhaps the bad gov
erament has reduced the people to pauperism!
II nd, France and other free and emily htened
countries, have from three to ten times as muc b
paIpefism In proportion to the population.
Where, then, is the horrible despot SIN, The
government is an elective monarchy. 1t has a
liberal coRsit tuition, light taxation. very little
pauperisn, and economical administration, a
cheap or free educstion for all classes, abundart
Institutions Of charity for the needy and suffering
venture to assert that the single city of New
York pays more taxes, is more plundefed by dis
honest officials, supports more paupsrs, has more
qneducated children. tolerates more vice and
drunkenness, rowdYisn, &c, and suffers from
more crime, year by year, than the whole nearly
5000, 90 OF people OF the states of the Church.

On ToUR.-John r. Ridge, Esq, the editor
of the Marysville Democrat, was in the noun
tains the whole of last, and two or three days OF
the present week. He came from Grass Valley
over here, after having spent the longest portion
of his time in that neighborhood and at Nevada,
getting acquainted with the people and soliciting
subscribers. The clever fellows of that region
are magnificent on carouse; and from several
obscure intimations which we heard thrown out
concerning champagne bottles, ,and game suppers,
besides certain drowsiness about somebody s
eyes the morning John arrived here, we are dis
posed to think his case was properly attended to,
among his hosts of friends and admirers. His
success in the line of his business, we are glad
to hear, was even beyond his anticipations. Such
a man deserves encouragement; not only on
account of his fine talents, but because other
wise, he is one of the worthiest citizens we have
in the State.

BATHING.-The Nevada Transcript says

BATHING.-The Nevada Transcript says:
"The man or woman who never bathes, and
who is guiltless of ever cleansing the outer sur
face of the body, is ignorant of one of the best
and cheapest of luxuries."
UYes, and they are also ignorant of its pre-
ventive and curative qualities for most of the
maladies to which human flesh is heir He or
towel regularly and freely, and is otherwise pru-
dent to an ordinary degree, will have no occasion
to be sick. Water is a strengthener and invigor-
ator. In our own experience, we have found it
infallble in the cure of ticdouloureux or neural
gia, sore throat, diarrhoea, rheumatism, fever
and ague, debility, fever, and to be great in dis
sipating the swell-head! Throw physic to the
dogs WeHAave none of it.
The hydraulic press., 1860-10-06

The OPPOSITION ExPLoDED.-It seems that
we are not, after all, to have an opposition
line of steamships. The Journal of Com
merce says:
"There seems to be some foundation for
the rumor that Mr.. Roberts and Com Van
derbilt have settled their difficulty in regard
to the Isthmus transit, and that the opposi-
ton line will not be started. The Granada
and Moses Taylor have been sent 10 the Pa
cifc, and the former was last spoken near
the Equator on her voyage down. The Co.
atzacoalcos was bought as substitute for
the Star of the West, the third boa. formerly
announced, and has been we'll reftted for
her work. On the 4th instant she made her
trial trip, and on Saturday she had 500 tuns
of coal on board, and it was supposed she
would clear for the Pacific. We cannot
learn that she has sailed, and if there is any
truth in the rumor that the parties have
come to terms, we suppose that she will be
kept on this side
"The statement is, that Mr.. Roberts, who
was not very well used by his old associates,
in the former settlement between the Com
and the Pacific Mail Company, and who was
seeking employment for his steamers not
otherwise provided for, by opening an oppo-
sition to San Francisco via Tehuantepec,
has now been admitted by Vanderbilt to a
partnership in the Atlantic service of the old
route.
'.If this be so, and the new line is thus
suffered to collapse, we trust that the boats
sent to the Pacific will not be brought back
to the Atlantic, but carefully employed in
developing the trade of the southwest coast,
and thus afford fresh facilities for COM
muncation which is annually growing in
Importance

GUTTA PERCHA HosE.-In our advertising
columns will be found a brief, setting forth the
virtues and different uses of articles manufacture
ed from Gutta Percha, of which Mr.. Charles P.
Daniel & Co., of San Francisco, are the Pacific
agents. The attention of hydraulic miners is
particularly called to that passage relating to
hose, and the durable and impervious nature Of
the material from which it is made.
Mr.. Daniel informs us that several papers
have fallen into the error of stating that this hose
is in general use. As yet, it has not been tried
in the mines. A very limited supply is on hand
An application of the hose is about to be made
at Timbuctoo. Should it succeed-as there can
be no doubt that it villa sufficient quantity can
at once be imported to supply the California de-
mand

THE LAST AND GREATEST F1LLrnusrE1

THE LAST AND GREATEST FILLIBUsTER
GoNE!- have news by telegraph, that Gen.
William Walker, the "grey-eyed man Of desti-
n.y." whose fame as fillibuster had spread to adj
parts of the habitable globe, has at last suffered
the death penalty, for invading Truxillo, in the
State of Honduras, Central America. He was
captured, together with 20 of his followers, on
the banks of the river Negra, by General Alva-
rez, leading a body of natives, who had been
disembarked at the mouth of the river, from the
British steamer Icarus. Col. Rudler, one of his
officers, was shot at the same time. Walkers
men, it was supposed, would be sent home to the
United States.
This is the end of little great man, and great
little man, who was anxious to achieve glory, but
never had means equal to his ambition, which
was vaulting, but s'o'erleapt itself, and fell on
'tother side" An epitaph something like the
following, might very appropriately be placed
over his grave:
Here lies William Walker,
The fillibuster chief
Whose oft-attempted conquests
Shed glory sad as brief;
He was famous hero,
To those who thought him so,
But was shot before anointed,
On the plains of Truxillo!

THE BuLKHEAD.-This chrysalis insect, cher
ub, or monster-according to the glass through
which it is seen-is knocked about like a shuttle
cock between the politicians. None of them are
willing to father it. Last winter, one would have
thought, to see Squire Parsons doging about in
the Senate Chamber, that he controlled that
body by the mere twirl of his little finger. Even
the Governor of the State did not presume tn
be so familiar as he did. Now his project, at
least, has fallen so low, that none remain to do
it reverence.
