The Black Guantlet Tale of Plantation Life in
Snuth Carolina.

We have received through friend the dedicao-
ry pages of work bearing the above title, from
the pen of Mrs. HENRY r. ScnooLcRAFT, q native
of South Carolina The authoress is the wife of
the distinguished Indian historian, whose name is
familiar 70 every intelligent reader. The work is
dedicated to her husband, and the pages before us
reveal the design of the work, viz: an earnest de-
fence of Southern slavery under the guisc of ro-
nance. This work will in all probability be wOr-
thy of an extensive circulation, and receive such
among the reading classes of her native State, and
indeed the whole South. 1t will soon be issued
from the publishing house of ]. d. LrrrIXcorT &

The Charleston papers notice the appearance, in
that city, of counterfeit $40 bills on the Merchants
and Planters Bank of Savannah, which are so well
executed as to deceive even good judges.

members of company of Zouavc Cadets, to be or
ganlzed upon system similar to that Of the Zou-

of the above character in this place. We have
paid them visit, ssand were indeed surprised at
the extensive variety of Furniture which they arc
now offering to the public and at the most reason
able prices. Our citizens cannot do better than
encourage these gentlemen in their new business
Their Marble Yard is also kept up. Give them a

Pay Youn DEnrs.-Yhisys good advice, but few
arc prepared to act upon it in these " hard tnies'
Nevertheless, an advertisement in another column
signed by ]. NJ PAnTLow, urges upon all indebted
to him for Confecionares to settle lmmediateiy OF
else he will place those matters in the hands OF an
officer. Sec to it, ye who ore indebted on 'ha'

Rr1tc1ous Rgy1vALs.-Wc have heard OF many
stirring reyivals among ull denominations through
out the District for the past several weeks and we
are prati6ed to learn that large numbers have been
added to the church of God May the good work
continue.
During the last week protracted meetings have
been held and GRE still going on with increased
zeal in the Methodist andssPrcsbyterian Churches
of this village AS yet, only few have professed
religion, we believe.

Let squattertcs for Douglas row,
But Democrats who re sound and sane
Will poll for breckenridge and Lane"

POPULARITY vs.. INTELLECT.-The Calayeras
Chronicle after quoting from this paper o
paragraph in which we spoke of Mrs. Farm
ham as woman of too much intellect to be
popularly appreciated, makes these cem-
megts.
The Press has found the key to the nom
success of some of the best men in the United
States. 1t has been noticeable, especially in
California, that the very worst class of men
attain position and preferment at the hands
of the masses-tke yoters-the motive power
of our goyernment--the PEOPLE. For the
truth of this assertion we have but to refer
to our Legislatures. Do we send our best
men to the Legislature ? Certainly not it
seems that the very scum and dregs of So
ciety are picked up and put into Offices of
honor and trust. Why is it? Because in
tellect is at a discount and rowdyism and
b'hoyism rules the day, and the man who
can drink the most whiskey, treat oftenest,
swear hardest and commit all sorts of little
vices, is the most popular and highly es-
teemed. A superior mind mast expect to be
neglected by his fellow-men, if he lets them
alone. But let such a mind attempt to in
struct them, to correct their errors, and they
turn his enemies; but should he dare to ex-
pose their hypocricy and vices, he is sure to
be the butt of their prosecutions. No man
can be pleased with what he cannot see and
understand. We hope for better state of
things in this State ere many years have
passed over our heads.

How FOREST CRY Cor IT'S NAME.-A writer
in the Tuolumne Courier says that the first
-store at the forks of Oregon Creek, Sierra
county, where Forest City now stands, was
ibuilt by Samuel Hammond, and called the
"Yomana store" from the bluff above the
town being called Yomana, or Sacred Hill
This bluff is very lofty and crowned by
perpendicular wall of rock, around the base
! OF which now winds a mining ditch. The
Indians are said to have considered it the
most holy spot in all that section, for what
reason is not known. After a considerable
village had grown up, in 1853, the citizens
wanted a name for it. The result of a pop
.ular vote for one was tie on the two names
3'Fofks Of Oregon" and "Yomana" so the
subject was compromised by agreeing to call
the place after the first woman who should
reside in it. The first woman was Mary
Davis, wife of baker, after whose advent
the village was indiscriminately called
saForks of Oregon and "Mariettap Davis
soon sold out to Capt. Mooney and wife
and now comes the history OF the final name,
which we give as we find it in the Courier:
Mrs. NJ. was named Forest Mooney. She
was bit of blue-stocking, and inordi-
'nately fond of scribbling. She wrote several
pieces which her husband sent to the Marys-
vile papers. These she dated Forest City,
and as the editors did not know where that
might be, they were so published Her next
move was, to call together such men as Re-
corder Jones, and few of the aristocratic
ii. e. nonworking) class, in opposition to
the hard-working miners, and ask them if
"Forest City, was not more appropriate
name than ''Marietta." This was done out
of envy; as she could not legally have the
place named after her. These gentlemen
agreed with her in everything, as she was
lady. This was not known for some time
amongst the miners, until the place was ir-
revocably known and named as Forest City
Nhe name was not inapt in itself, as the
place, at that time, was literally forest.

CALIFORNIAN AND AMERICAN STocK.-The
Californian horse is quick, tough, unsurpass-
able for the use of the rider and the vague
70; but he is small, lacks weight and
strength, is not suited to hard, steady work
with the plow or wagon, and is not beauti-
full. he is wanting in the hereditary sub
missiveness and steadiness of the we'll bred
horse; and he lacks that sort of "sense"
which leads an American horse to be quiet
and gentle even in circumstances strange to
him. The consequence is that American
horses are worth about twice as much as
Californian horses, the latter averaging in
price from SO to 800; the former from
$3.50 to 5000. The Californian COW is
small, wild, a poor mixer, entirely unfit for
the dairy her meat lacks julciness and ten
derness, comparatively speaking, and she is
so restless that she does not fatten readily.
The American is therefore worth twice as
much as the Californian cow in the market.

HAIRBREADTH ESCAPE FROM PAH-UTAHS.--
Mr.. Lingle tells us of some interesting Incl :
dents connected with the unfortunate expe-
dition to the Big Bend. Among them, is
that of the escape of Capt. Allen of Timbuc-
too. He was closely pursued on horseback
by mounted In iian and could not turn to
hire, because the very act of turning would
be the signal for the Indian to fire. AS for
the Indian, be was only waiting to get with
IN sure killing distance, and near enough
10 halt and draw a bead beforeens victim
would be out of range. The advantage was
all on the Indians side, had he not con-
cluded to take short cut by running to the
right of knoll. Seeing the movement,
Allen suddenly reigned in his horse and, by
the time the Pah-Ute got round point of
the knoll, had his rifed leveled. The In
dian was coming at full speed towards him
and could not rein up in time to fire. Allen
took aim and pulled trigger, and down came
the Indian. Thus he escaped.
Another narrow escape was made by Mr.
Blackburn, 0. II. Persons brother-in-law
His horse was shot from under him, and he
was fighting on foot. A riderless Indian
horse came near him, saddled but not bridled.
With deperate effort he leaped into the
saddle, guiding the well trained animal with
his hand, after the Indian fashion, when
they ride without bride. Through woods
and thickets, over bluffs and fallen timber,
he rode, in this strange style, till, haggard
worn, he arrived in Virginia City, on Sun
day evening, and dismounted among his
wondering friends, who had already given
him up for dead. The pony he rode was a
superb animal, of extraordinary strength
and bottom. He probably thought he had
new kind of Indian on his back, when
Blackburn put him through. Mmyssille

posed of the greatest variety of nationalities

Lord of the brave andfree,
Father of Light and Truth
We dedicate to Thee
This temple Of our youth
The soil on which It's laid
The wall of rocky ledge,
Cleav'd from its ancient bed
By bar and massy sledge
And the wood which art has brought,
And fasbion'd, and laid here,
As the ancient Master taught,
With Gavel, Plumb and Square
And the iron-and the glass
Unknown in days of old
And the finely polished brass,
Which cunning artists mould
All, all belong to Thee:
They came when light was riven
From the caverns of the sea-
From the mighty void Of heaven.
Cur bodies, too, thine,
Shaped in perfect mould
And the souls that in them shine,
More precious far than gold.
Bless us, God of Lovei
The temple and the day,
Which, to infant minds will prove
Their light, their hope, their stay.
Thou art the nations Sire
Let every schoolhouse be
A fortress chargd with patriot fire.
