EXTENSIVE QUARTZ CRUSHING WoRKs.-A
correspondent at Murphys Calaveras county,
sends the Democratic Age the following ac-
count of the works being erected at that
place, for quartz crushing, by the Messrs
Woodworth
Messrs. Woodwork & Co., of San Francis
GO, are engaged in the erection of Steam
Quartz Mill on their claim at this place The
mill, when completed will be one of the best,
if not the very best, in the State. The build
ing, in which will be placed the engine, bat
teries and analgamators, is 100 feet long by
40 wide, and consist of two stories, each
trongly built of heavy timbers and with
double floors. In the upper story will be
placed the engine, which is 70 horse power,
80 inch stroke, and il inch cylinder. The
engine and all the machinery of the mill were
manufactured in the foundry of Rowland &
Co., of San Francisco The Messrs. Wood
worth will run eight batteries $50 stamps) o
Howland's improved Rotary Battery, having
demonstrated to their entire satisfaction that
they are ahead of any other in the state
Their ore will be amalgamated in pans oi
which the Messrs. Woodworth have the pat
ent Theirs is an entirely new process, whlcf
they have reduced from theory to practlce
and by which they have successfully separa,
ted the precious metals from sulpheyates, ane
saved all the former, at trifiing extra cost
The amalgamating pans of this firm are pro-
ducing revelation in quartz mining whereV'
er they have been adopted; and as their SUI
peror advantages become known, they vii
supercede all Others. The erection OF thes'
workslwill greatly benefit Murphys the pro
prietors being already overburdened with or
ders from Washoe amp the Esmeralda DIS
lrlct, to treat the ores Of various comPanle
there.

Can F0RT MouLTRSE DE HELD, ~ CASE or ST.
cEssIoN2-The Charleston correspondent of
fhe New York Tribune, writing of the re-
mark in the Presidents Message, that the
commanding officer at the Charleston forts
has been instructed to act strictly on the de-
fensive, says: Glow is it expected "the of
ficer in command" with less than fifty fight
ing men, will hold these extensive forts, whtn
stormed by force of, say, two thousand men.
like those that covered Chepaltepee. Molino
del Rey, &c. DGubfiess, should, unfortunate
iy, worse come to worse, Major Anderson,
"the officer in command" and the other Off
GERS, as well as the men, will do all that men
can do, but the President should not expect
them to work a miracle with the tools Just
now in hand. / repeat the remark that the
Government and the country-if we have
one-is fortunate in having so discreet and
able corps of officers at this port as are now
here. They will do nothing rash, but pursue
rigdy the defensive policy.
Daily national Democrat., 1861-01-03

Tue Hu@boldt Times concludes an able
article on Secession in the following words:
Every officer, however humble his station,
throughout the country. must take an oath
first to support the Constitution of the Uni
ted States before he can enter on the dis
charge of the duties of his office. Every per-
son who becomes naturalized must also take
an oath to support the Constitution of the
United States, and every citizen by birth is
bound by the same allegiance. 1t is not in
the power of a State to release citizen from
this allegiance, or to prevent any officer, who
may see proper to do so, from executing the
laws of the United States anywhere within
its limits.
Secession is revolutiOn-it is "dissolving
the political bonds which have connected
one people with another-and cannot be JUS
titled on any other ground than such as
would justify a revolution.
Although we would not wish to use force
to compel any State 20 remain with us
against the universal wish of the people
thereof, yet we cannot recognize the right OF
peaceable secession. 1t is fatal political
heresy, and if countenanced cannot fail to
render Government which is now the pride
of every true American, justly subject to the
contempt and reproach of the civilized world.

al BRAHMIN'S ACCOUNT OF HIS
Nj. N. COUNTRY.

TnE Rev. Mr.. Ganggooly, converted
Brahtnfn, recently travelling in this eoun-
Try, delivered a lecture IN New Bedford.
on the manners and customs Of his coun-
try. .:t5z 4j
He said the Hindoos were divided into
thirt y.fouf castles, Of which the Brahmin
reached the highest, md the banker,
goldsmith and shoemaker were among
the lowest The blacksmith Is. of a high
caste, because or his usefulness. If q
Brahmin eats animal food, he loses bis
caste, which he can never, regain. The
subject Of birth WINS next treated. The
birth Of q male child was always made
the occasion Of great rejoicing, while the
birth Of q female child was hardly noticed,
The mother Of 1--WE or six girls was always
the subject Of scorn and derision, and
never went into society. t ..g.:..
There were but three castles In Iudia
that could not read or write. The strict.
est attention Is given to the education Of
boys in India, while girls never 20 to
school. The discipline Of Brahmin life ia
some instances was grand. Al Brahmin
rises rs early as five O'Clock, walks out
and gathers flowers, aud battles before
the sun rises; il the sun sees one Of this
class in bed, the fourteen generations Of
bis ancestors will be punished ID eternity,
Women must bathe every morning before
they go into the Kitchen; II they do not,
people will not eat their, cooking. Brah.
Minis must keep silent while At the table
il they speak while eatiug they are obliged
to 70 without food the entire day. @.s {. Z
The marriage system was next consid
cred. Hindoos do not know, strictly
what marriages are. Neither the boy
nor the girls have any thing to do witt
this matter. Parents make oil matches
and the parties have no idea 70 whom
they are to unite their destinies until the,
arrive at the altar. The marriageabl,

Of boys from thirteen TO Twenty-Five. a

In regard to the burial ceremonies Q
the dead IN India, many things have beel
said aud written BY travellers that wer
untrue. The burning Of the bodies q
widows upon funeral piles Of the husband
was explained and accounted for by III
fact that when q woman becomes widow
