California.


/. a recent issue OF the New York Daily
Neuos we find the following suggestive and
complimentary mention of our State:
Month after month we have renewed evi
dence that California is rapidly developing
herself. The shipments of goods of all
descriptions from Atlantic ports to San
Francisco have dwinded down to com
paratve insignificant amount. Quantities of
freight still go via the lsthmus of Panama
but not to the extent formerly shipped.
The secret of this decreased demand in our
markets is owing to the fact that California
is gradually developing her own manufac
turing abilities, in every department need,
or for which she has natural facilities. (Ore-
gon, also, is not behind in this matter.) OF
agricultural productions California is the ex
porter, of res spectacle character to the East
Indies, China, Australia, the islands in the
Indian Ocean and the Sandwich and other
islands in the Pacific Ocean, besides her val
liable trade "down the coast" to Peru, Chile,
and other States. Situated advantageousy
upon the track rapidly becoming CONNER
cially satisfied to trade with the East, Cali
fornia must in time become the seat of un,
paraleled commercial Importance, and be
ack nowledged as the great empire of the
Western Continent,

What Good Does it Do.

The Republican Press, even in this
hour of confusion, with breaking banks,
threatened secession, a monetary crisis and
a general decline Of produce, are still per
sstng in their assaults upon the South and
its institutions, and speak Of the prospect
of separation of the Southern States from
the Northern with an air of hppancy and
levity, alarming to all true lovers of their
country.
Having elected their President, having Sc.
cured the Federal Government had they
better not turn their attention towards a
healing of the breach between the two sec,
tons, rather than to widening it by taunt-
ing a section who regard their institutions
in danger, and who, knowing that the North
has violated the Fugitive Slave Law, fear
that it will push its aggressons farther.
Had not the republicans better repeal their
nutl!fying laws-respec: the rights Of all
sections, and strive to restore harmony and
peace once mode to the country.
we ask what good does the assaults upon
the South do! Let the people rebuke the
crazy fanatics, who in order to realize their
dream of freedom for the black race, are
imperiling a Union which our fore fathers
established for the benefit of the WHITE

Daniel Webster's Definition of Treason

We just now hear good deal from the
republican journals and orators about South
ern treason" and Southern traitors" Lei
us see who have been committing treason
all along back Let us see if there be no,
northern treason and northern traitors as
we'll as southern. In this regard we take
Mr.. Webster for authority. Mr.. Webster
ought to be good authority with such papers
as they generally supported him in all he
said and did up to the time of his DEATH In
a speech at Buffalo, N. Y, May %, 1851,
the great "expounder Of the constitution
said:
"All judicial opinions are in favor of this
law. And yet this law is opposed, but not
by bringing this question into court. These
lovers of human liberty, these friends of the
slave the fugitive slave, do not put their
hands in their pockets. and draw funds to
conduct law suits and try the question. They
are not much in that habit That is not the
way in which they show their devotion to
liberty of any kind. But they meet and
pass resolutions; they resolve that the law
is oppressive, unjust, and should not be exc
cuted at any rate or under any circumstan-
ces. 1t has been said in the States of New
York, Massachusetts, and Ohio, over and
over again, that the law shall not be execu
ted That was the language of conventions
in Worcester, Massachusetts; in Syracuse,
New York; and elsewhere And for this
they pledged their lives their fortunes, and
their sa''red honor. Now, gentlemen, these
proceedings-l say it upon my professional
honor-are distinctly rnEAsoNABLn.
"Resolutions passed in Ohio, certain reso-
lutions in New York, and in conventions
held in Boston, are distinctly REASONABLE.
And the act of taking away Shadrach from
the public authorities in Boston, and sending
him off, was an act of CLEAR TREASON. |
speak this in the heariug of men who are
lawyers; | speak it out to the country; say
it everywhere, on my professional reputa-
ton, IT WAS TREASON AND NOTHING ELSE"
This speech of Mr. Webster was before
the day Of personal liberty" laws, but he
would pronounce them also to be treasona-
bic in their nature, for they are the same in
in spirit and purpose rs the resolutions which
he pronounced reasonable. The North has
been rife with treason for a dozen years past,
and if there be now treason in the South,
we see how it has come. The North will
presently see into what criminal courses she
has been led by the Stewards and Summers
and Wades and Wilson's and Gidslngses and
all the republican leaders whom she has
trusted. Erie. (Pa.) Observer.

About the Coal Oil Discoveries.

There are some wonderful tales told OF

and found pnrer and more durable vein

demand at the wells. Kelly sold the pro

when they struck a vein of gas; the gas
came with such force that it blew their drills,
so lbs. weight out of the hole and several
feet into the air. 1t blew dry black sand
two hundred feet high for two hours, when
the water came mixed with sand and stones,
from the size of a large apple down; two
OF the stones were large, weighing 25 lbs.
each; these it blew up about SO feet into the
air. 1t is estimated it threw out 100 bar
rels Of water minute, to the height OF 200
feet put fire to it about 8 o'clock at
night, and though it frightened me it was
the finest thing ever saw; the flame rose
to the height of 230 or 40 feet, with a heavy,
booming noise like the continual discharge
of heavy artillery at a distance. So great
was the shock at my house that it came neal
breaking the dishes in the cupboard, shaking
them as though they were in car under
full motion. The water and stones RAISED
through the fire, AMI parting, fell forming
one of the finest sights ever saw. At las
it choked up, suppose by large stone get
ting in the mouth of the hoe-when we
were satisfied and glad to put it out-and
will not put fire to it again unti it is done
throwing stones" Almost any one would
be satisfied with that experience, we should
think. Erie (Pa) Observer.

Who is a Gentleman?

A gentleman is not merely person ac-

life, easy and selfpossessed in society, able
to speak and act, and move in the world
without awkwardness, and free from habits
which are gar and in bad taste. A gen
tleman is something much beyond this; that
which lies at the root of all ease and refine
ment, and tact, an power of pleasing, is
the same spirit which lies at the root Of every
Christian virtue. 1t is the thoughtful desire
Of doing in every instance as he would that
others should do unto him. lie is constant
ly thinking, not indeed how he NAV give
pleasure to others for the mere sense Of
pleasing. but how he can sho. respect for
others how he NAV avoid hurting their
feelings. When he is in society he scrupu
IousI y ascertains the position and relation of
every one with whom he is brought into con
tact, that he may give to each his due honor,
his proper position. He studies how he may
avoid touching in conversation upon any
subject which may needlvssly y hurt their feel
ngs, how he may abstain from any allusion
which may call up disagreeabe or offensive
association. A gentleman never aludes to,
never even appears conscious of any personal
Defect bodily deformi,y interority of talent,
of rank, of reputation in the persons in
whose society he is placed. He never As
sumes any superiority to himsef-never ridi

display of his own power or rank or ad
vantages-such as is implied in ridicule or
sarcasm, or abuse-as he never INDUCES in
halits, or tricks, or lnclinations which may
be offensive to Others
