How Noun DIABoLo Cor ITs NAME.-In
1906 a military expedition from San Fran
cisco marched against the tribe ''Bolgones,h
who were encamped at the foot of the Mount;
the Indians were prepared to receive the ex-
pedition, and hot engagement ensued in
the large hollow fronting the western side
of the Mount As the victory was about to
be decided in favor of the Indians, an un-
known parsonage, decorated with the most
extraordinary plumage, and making divers
movements, suddenly appeared near the
combatants The Indians were victorious,
and the incognito (Puy) departed towards
the Mount The defeated soldiers, on ascer-
tanning that the spirit went through the
same ceremony daily and at all hours. named
the mount "Diablo,' in allusion to its mys-
terious inhabitant, that continued thus to
make his strange appearance, until the tribe
was subdued by the troops in command of
Lieut.. Gabriel Morgan. in second campaign
of the same year. In the aboriginal tongue
"Puy" signifies Evil Spirit; in Spanish it
means Dablo, snd doubtless it signifies
Devil in the Anglo-American language.

WENT OUT TO IRRIGATE.-Bayard Taylor

his lectures at Marysyille
One circumstance puzzled ne at first AZ

emily, another party rose and retired in
body. We'll, thought |, they are certainly
bored it is not the entertainment they ex-
pected; they have been accustomed to negro
minstrels, and anything of a serious nature
is tiresome to them. But, to my surprise,
they all returned in five minutes afterward,
and sat quietly until the close. On stating
this to friend, he laughed. "Wby," said
he, 'didn't you guess it? They only went
out for drink" Iafterward got accustomed
to this practice as it happened almost every
night. The innocence with which it was
done amused me, although the interruption
was annoying. | had serious thoughts of

SOLDIERS OF THE REvoLUTIoN--Out of the
whole grand army of the Revolution, there
are now living throughout the whole conn
try only one hundred and sixty five, thirty
six of whom are living in New York. In a
few years more they will have all dropped
by the wayside; even now many of them can
say. with Soult, that they hear the muffled
drum, and behold in the world beyond the
grave the camp fire around which all must
one day gather. When Charles Carroll of
Carrollton, remained the sole survivor
of the signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, he was looked upon with increased
awe and veneration and when the list of
these Revolutionary heroes shall be reduced
to one, the last man will be viewed with
curiosity and deep interest, as the only sur
vivor of the stormy epoch which tried mems
souls.

'0UR LITTLE ONEs-It is not often that the
partizan journals of this State afford so ge
-nial an article as the following editorial from
the Placerrille Democrat:
To those lettering in the stubble-6eld of
bachelordom, it is an exhilerating sight to
witness the troupes of merry Juveniles that
are constantly gliding by us, in our stroIs
!. about the town. Who wishes well for this
good State of ours, has much to congratu-
late himself as be gazes upon their Joyous
faces. These careless little ones are the
~eonservators of its future propriety and
greatness. They are to the 'smanor bornn
They are rooted to this soil as securely as
our indigenous forest growth They have
no distracting yearn;ngs for other lands
Here originate, and will inger and cluster,
their entire heart associations. Not so with
the emigrant to this fair State. Spite of all
effort, he must turn fond glance to his
-olden home. In the far-of distance are the
graves of his forefathers, and the play-g ground
of his childhood. Perhaps an aged and de-
.crepit mother 5eckons him to her arms. She
would see her boy again, ere the skeleton
reaper hurries her away from earthly ties
In that distant land, a continent sweeping
memoried surroundings, and fond brothers
and -doting sisters. No wonder at all he is
restless and dissatisfied in his new home
Not so with those dear little ones who send
forth their merry shouts abont u.s. They
know no other skies but the bright ones Of
California. Their innocent revels are conse-
Grating to future and inerasable memories
the rich soil over which they ramble. Each
act and thought and gleeful association of
theirs is engendering holy patriotism for the
Pacific coast Those darling little fellows,
with attire somewhat torn and faces begrimed
with mountain dirt will in brief time ma
ture to manhood. They are catching up in
'telligence of most sterling cast, such as
can only be acquired from the freedom of
age with youth so peculiar to our State
An invgorating atmosphere is endowing
them with burly frames. An early self-reli-
Sance Will stouten their young hearts Well
adapted will they be for the development Of
the rich resources of this favored State
Most of all will they love, with Switzer's
devotion, our towering mountains and deep
sravines and broad savannas. And those
sweet little girls, too, with curls awry, and
garments somewhat disarranged, from en-
ergy of exereise-with their rosy cheeks,
and elevated, but musical voices-as they
mould into the soft grace and matured beauty
of womanhood-will they not cling to the
soil which witnessed their birth, and the
merry strolls and petuancies Of childhood,
the joys and over-estimated griefs of girl
hood, and the holy scenes of their first love :?
They have no home but this-they dream
of none other Here, in welded bliss, will
they take to their arms and beating hearts
those same stout-souled and burly framed
youth whom they have known and cherished
from joyous infancy. Those little boys and
girls now romping upon our thoroughfareS
are the promise and stable wealth of our
good State. In them is the earnest germ OF
Pacific Empire.

The New York Herald even, begins to ac-
know ledge the truth with regard to the
causes of the present financial fury Mt the
South In its financial article of Thursday,
it SAYS that cotton, lands, and slaves are rap
lilly declining at the south that the source
of the trouble lies deeper than politicians
imagine that the election of Lincoln
brought matters to head, but the elements
Of disturbance were in operation before lin
coin lras nominated, and they must work ont
their appointed results, however the slavery
and anti-Slavery parties settle the eontrO-
verSy. The Southern States, continues
the Herald, " are going to have their revul-
sion as the Northern States had theirs in
1851. Cotton, lands and negroes bad been
too high there has been too much trading
on credit too much expansion OF credit 10
every way at the South and now the
bubble has been priched and the collapse
must come
These are facts, and the slavery question
is merely used to cover up a very bad state
of financial affairs at the South Why the
necessity of the suspending the collection
of debts as proposed in the Legislature of
Georgia during 1861, if the finances of those
States are not seriously embarrassed ?
OF course the New York merchants hav-
ing dealings with the South will first feel
the pressure; next the banks who have
made advances TO them. This Will cause
the banks To lean more on the West than
usual-to cali in all demands due in this
quarter II is we'll that our credit is not
extended ana that we were never better

now attracting attention in many parts of

a glorious work in the successful effort to
peacefully revolutionize the government,
and it does not seem right and proper that
they should be permitted to die out. AT
Albany, on the evening of the election, it
was with great unanimity resolved to con-
tinuc the organization, and the same action
has been taken elsewhere. There should at
least be steps taken in every place to pre-

SINKING OF THE STEAMER TEcUMsEH-
While the steamer Tecumseh, of the Cincin-
natl and New Orleans Union Line, was land
ing at the Louisville wharf yesterday even
ing, about o'clock, she struck some hidden
obstruction and soon sunk to a depth of
about twelve feet water. She had on board
heavy and valuable cargo, including about
forty head of horses, about twenty of which
were drowned, and twelve celebrated trotters
belonging to Messrs. Dimick & Henderson OF
Cincinnati. \ great portion OF the freight
was damaged and destroyed. All the pas
sengers were taken ashore in safety, but for
while it was feared that a number OF
lives were lost. The steamer Judge Fletch-
er took the passengers, and Captain Logan,
Of the Tecumseh, telegraphed to the Under
writer's at Cincinnati in reference to the
freight. 1t is said that the loss by the acci-
dent is upwards of $50, 600. The boat was
owned by parties in Cincinnati, and was in
sured in Offices in that city. There was an
insurance of 81, 200 on the horses. 1t is
thought the Tecumseh can be easily raised
as the river falls. As she lays in the river
at present she is q serious obstruction to
boats entering the canal.-N Il. Ledger.
