AMALGAMATORS.

For Gold or Silver Ores, which are claimed to pos
sess the following advantages all others 10
use, viz.
lst. They are equally adapted to the amalgama-
ton of Ores, either Wet or Dry crushed
%. Being Selffeeding and Selfdischarging, they
require but little attention; one man being sufficient
10 attend thirty or more.
Sd. During the process Of amalgamaton they
reduce the ore to an almost impapabe powder, in
close contact with large surface of mercury but
do not grind the mercury.
4th. 1t is claimed for them, and demonstrated
that they will from % Ia 100 per cent moro
gold than any other amalgamator now In use
Tho Amalgamatng Pans are put IN sets of three,
dschargng into each other three of which eetts
are capable OF thoroughly amagamatng ut least ten
tons Of gold ore per day and, with slight addition
are equally adapted to the amalgamation Of Silver
Ores by any OF the old new processes.
The Pans are about four feet In diameter, and
supplied with false perforated, or crate bottom,
upon which the grinding Is done, which allows the
gold, so0Ras united with the mercury TO settle
beneath the CRATE, and remain as safe as ii under
lock and key.
In cleaning up the pans and separating the ANAL
gam but one tenth OF the usual labor is required.
The parts most exposed TO wear are made of hard
iron, and easily replaced at trifling cost.
All orders for these Amalgamators can be sent to
PETER DONAllUE, on FIRST street, San Francisco, at
whose Foundry they can be seen IN operation.
For further particulars, inquire of the Patentee.

LOCAL MATTERS.

Town TRUsTEEs.-The Board met on Tues
day evening, to consider plans for bridge at
the foot Of Pine street. Mr.. Churchill present.
ed plan, similar to the railroad bridges at the
East which received much favor and will prob
ably be adopted. 1t is believed that substan-
tial and durable bridge of the kind can be con-
structed at a cost not to exceed six thousand
dollars. The drawings and specifications will
be made out by Monday evening next, at
which time the Board meets to determine def
nitely on plan. When the plan is settled on,
the Board will advertise for proposals.. and if
the lowest responsible bid is within the means
at their disposal the contract will be let.
REAL EsTATE.-Mr. Simpkins and his part
ner, who purpose laying gas pipes in Nevada,
have been endeavoring for few days past to
purchase lot whereon to erect their works.
But it appears that lots which few weeks ago
were considered hardly worth paying taxes on,
have taken a sudden rise, and are now held at
almost fabulous prices. Some men refuse to
fix price on their property, and others have
been offered more for vacant lots than they are
likely to be offered again. Mr.. Simpkins will
give up the undertaking unless he can purchase
a lot at a reasonable rate.
TREsPAssING.-Mr. Rogers caught couple
of Cinnamon, yesterday, trespassing in his dig
gings on American Hill. He arrested the celes-
tials and sent them to town, with the intention
of putting them through course of legal
boxt frxro -, oIo ofD Do1s
man Knerr, who detained them for an hour or
two, but no one appearing against them, he did
not consider that he had any legal authority to
hold them prisoners, and they were discharged
from custody.
LITBRARY.-Mr. Welch, of the Pioneer
Book Store, and Messrs. c. NJ. Bates & Co., of
Broad Street Book Store, received their usual
supply of magazines, newspapers and pletorials
by the last steamer. The illustrated papers are
of more than usual interest. Leslie's Pictorial
has full page view of the bombardment OF
Sumter, and Harper's Weekly has several spir-
tied engravings of scenes present interest.
Harper's Magazine and the Atlantic Monthly,
are both excellent numbers.
RAcE.-A race came off yesterday afternoon,
at Pleasant Valley, between two horses, owned
by Thos. Stewart and John Robinson; distance
half mile-one horse being staked against the
other. Stewards horse won the race by forty
feet. At the conclusion of the race, the rider
decorated the winning animal with American
flags and rode off amid the huzzas Of the
crowd.
PERsoNAL.-Mr. E. +. Spence, Of the As
sembly, returned home on Tuesday evening
Assemblymen Miller and Eastman returned by
way of Marysville, and did not pass through
this place. Senator Chase went to San Fran
cisco after the adjournment, and will be uI
about the first of next week.
ANOTHER FLAG-sTAFF.-Messrs. Funston
& Pierce, Of the Drama Saloon, Main street
have procured pole hundred and twenty feel
in length, which they purpose raising in front
of their place, for a flagstaff

SENATOR JOHNSON AND THE MoB.-lt has
been stated that while the crowd at Lynchburg,
Va, was proaning at Andy Johnson, and Of
fering him various indignities, one man pulled
his nose. A Louisville gentleman who was
there at the time says that Andy nose was not
pulled. A fellow attempted it, but Andy drew
a pistol and would have shot him on the in
slant, If the men present had not interposed.
Our informant was on the same train with
Andy for considerable distance this side Of
Lynchburg, and he says that the sturdy old
gentleman, although insulted by the pOpulace
at every point, showed a nerve that Napoleon
or Caesar might have admired. All honor to
the brave and true Louisville Journal.

HERDS GRASS.-(.fgrosHs Iugar.)
DR.. Hull, of Athens, has presented US with
a beautiful specimen Of this valuable grass |;
and as il has received less attention in our
columns than il deserves. we shall make a.
mends for the neglect.
Herds grass belongs 10 an extensive ge-
nus, known in England by the name Of Bent
Grass. one species Of which was greatly cell
ebrated few years since. under the name
Of :. Fiorin Grass" as being superior to all
others for producing great crops Of hay. On
low swamp lands. herds grass gives better
return in either pasture or meadow than any
other. DIR. Hull has meadow Of il on a
branch bottom, that is little too wet to raise
corn, from part Of which be cuts something
like three tons Of excellent hay to the acre.
The root Of this grass is perennial and creep
ing and in soils adapted to il. IL is long
lived. and yields sbundantly. II bears ma
ny seeds in a paniele. which is generally
colored and gives 10 the plant ihe common
name Of " red-tor." II makes finer and bet
Ter hay for neat stock than timothy. although
mixture OF the two is generally preferred
by the cattle raisers and dsirymen Of New
York. We found herds grass seed selling
in upper Georgia at dollar bushel. All
should have seed who can. as patriotic du-
ty. Any one having land adapted to this
grass will find a meadow OF il pay him bet.
Ter Than any other crop. A swamp Of ons
thousand acres, that now produces little be-
sides frogs and aligators. would turn out an
annual cutting Of two thousand tons. worth
sta dollar per one hundred pounds, fort,

ers will make such meadow Who hai

is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor Is there one which il may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tibefeles; In the glands, swellings; and on
the surface. eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous CON-
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other Diseases conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
