Gently, to the Supreme and other Judges of his

in 1643. and in two of its provisions exhibited
his unquenchable devotion to the Union as
established by the Constitution. viz
Seventh bequeath to my beloved nephew,

sword presented to me by the State of Tennes-
see, with this Injunction That he fail not to
use it when necessary in support and protec-

IMPORTANCE or TIE MosTE DlABTo CoM.
Discovery The Importance TO this city Of
the coal discovery at Monte Diablo can hardly
be estimated. The price OF the best coal here
has been S23 per ton, and Goose Bay has been
selling at SIS, by the large quantity. We arc
informed that coal from Monte Diablo can be
delivered at the wharves here at Sc per ton,
that there is an abundance Of it. and that il is
of good quality. The amount Of coal now
used in this city for milling and general manu-
featuring purposes is not much less than sixty
tons per day, worth at least $1,000. The same
quantity of Monte Diablo coal would reduce
the cost of steam power in this city 10 S400
per day, making saving Of $500 per.day and
$500 per week. Heretofore it has cost for
fuel alone % cents to manufacture barrel Of
-four, and those mills which turn out 200 bar.
rels day have been under daily expenditure
of $50 for coal. At the price Of Monte Diablo
coal, the cost of fuel to make one barrel of
-four would he cents, and 200 barrel mill
can run one day at an expense for fuel Of about
Sl6, instead of $50, as at present A reduc-
tion Of &C per cent in the cost of steam power
will of course give great impetus to our man
ufacturiDg interests, increase the value Of labor,
and add to the value Of raw material. II is
but little to say that the Monte Diablo coal
mines, if they are as extensive as now supposed,
will prove of far more value to California than
has her gold mines. The great reduction in
the cost Of steam power, which is the natural
consequence, will add greatly to our manufac-
turing facilities, and of course enable us soon
to manufacture largely many Of the articles for
which we are now dependent on the Fast

STEREoGRAPHs OF BATTLEs-Dr Holmes,
in his scientific contributions to late Atlantic
Monthly, says the next European war will
send US stereograpbs of battles. 1t is asserted
that bursting shell can be photographed
The time is perhaps at hand when flash Of
light, as sudden and brief as that of lightning
which shows a whirling wheel standing stock
still, shall preserve the very instant of the
shock Of the contact of the mighty armies that
are even now gathering. The lightning from
Heaven does actually photograph natural OBJ
jeets on the bodies of those it has Just blasted
so We are told by many witnesses. The light

be forced to stereotype itself in a stiffness as
complete as that OF the tumbling tide of Nj

GAR1BALDT. -Spurgeon writes thus elo-
quently of the great Italian hero in letter TO
the Watchman and Reflector:
God save Garibaldi A thousand bene-
dictions upon his noble head One such man
redccms the age from the shame Of littlcnessl
There is greatness enough in that one man 10
ennoble the century which begat him. We do
not live, after all, in the age of diluted virtue
aud departing manhood. Never Roman toca
hung about hero more glorious than he who
wears the red frock. In him the poverty of
Cincinnatus is combined with The integrity of
Fabricius, the truthfulness of Regulus with
the selfforgetlulness Of Curtius, the valor of
Scipio with the pain-defying heroism of Sce-
vola. If all the marvels of patriotism were
forgotten, they might be rewritten fam the
life Of this one Italian. His portrait differs
from that Of every other living mortal, and
seems to be the exact ideal Of patriot war
rior's face, yet is there a gentleness cleaning
from it which must mean more than sword and
guns will ever help him to reveal o that the
God who raised up Cyrus and surnamed him,
though he knew it not, may also give the enc
mics of freedom as driven stubble to the sword
of Garibaldi and give to the warrior himselfa
name and place among the soldiers Of the
cross"

The Union.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

The blood that flowed at Lexington and crimsoned
brigh: Champlain.
Streams still along the Southern Gulf, and by the
lakes of Maine;
1t flows in veins that swell above Pacfc's golden
sand
And throbs in hearts that love and grieve by dark
Atlantic's strand
1t binds in one vast brotherhood the trappers of
the West,
With men whose cities class themselves in Erie 5
classic breast;
And those to whom September brings the fireside
social hours
With those who see December brow all wreathed
with gorgeous flowers.
From where Columbia laughs to greet the smiling
Western wave,
To where Potomac sighs beside the patriot hero :
grave;
And from the cleaning Everglades to Huron 5
lordly flood,
The Glory of a nations past thrills through a kin
dred blood.
Wherever Arnold's tale is told it dries the cheek
with shame,
And glows with pride er Bunker Hill or Moutrie's
wider fame;
And wheresoe'er above the fray the stars of empire
CLEAN,
Upon the deck or DER the dust it proves a common
theme.
1t is sacred legacy ye never can divide,
Nor take from village urchn nor son of city pride
Nor the hunters white-haired children, who find a
faithful home
Where nameless lakes are sparkling, and where
lonely rivers roam.
Greene drew his sword at Eutaw, and bleeding
Southern feet
Trod the march across the Delaware, amid the
snow and seetl
And Il! ! upon the parchment, where our natal re-
cord Shines
The burning page of Jefferson bears Franklin's
calmer lines.
Could ye divide that record bright, and tear the
names apart
That first were written boldly there with plight of
hand and heart2
Could We erase Hancocks name, cen with the
sabres edge,
Or wash out with fraternal blood Carroll's double
pledge?
Say, can the South sell all her share in Bunker's
hoary height?
Or can the North give up her boast in Yorktown's
closing fight?
Can ye divide with equal hand heritage of graves?
Or rend in twain the starry flag that DER them
proudly waves?
Can ye cast lots for vernons soil, or chatter mid
the gloom
That hangs its solemn folds about your common
Fathers tomb?
Or could you meet around his grave of fratricida
foes,
And wreak your burning curses there er his calm
reposc?
Ye dare not is the Alleghany's thunder-toned
decree
'Tis echoed where Nevada guards the blue and
tranquil sea;
Where tropc waves delighted clasp our glowing
Southern shore,
And where, through foamng mountain gutes, Ne
braska's waters roar.

CALF STEMISG.-A few years ago, butch
eF, who had purchased a calf not far from
Lewes, in Sussex, sat with it on horse at a
public house door. \ shoemaker, remarkable
for his drolery, knowing that the butcher had
to pass through wood, offered to the landlord
to carry off the calf providing he would treat
him with sixpenny worth of grog. The land
lord agreed and the shoemaker setting off,
dropped one shoe 10 the path near the middle
of the wood, and another near a quarter of a
mile from it. The butcher saw the first shoe,
but did not think it worth getting down for ;
however, when he discovered the second, he
thought the pair would be an acquisition, and
accordingly dsmounted, tied his horse to the
hedge and walked back to where he had seen
the first SHOE The shoemaker, in the mean
time, unstrapped the calf and carried it across
the field to the landlord, who put it in his barn.
The butcher, missing his calf. went back to the
inn, and told his misfortune, at the same time
observing, that he must have another calf,
cost what it would, as the veal was bespoke
The landlord told him he had a calf in the
barn, which he would sell him. The butcher
looked at it, and asked the price The land
lord replied, Give me the same you did for
the calf you lost, as this, l think, is full as
large" The butcher would by no means al
low the calf to be as good, but agreed to give
him within six shiliings Of what the other cost,
and accordingly put the calf second time on
his horse. Crispin. clatcd with his success, un-
dertook to steal the calf again for another sin
pennyworth, which being agreed on, he posted
to the wood, and there hid himself. When the
butcher came along, he beloved so like calf
that the butcher, conceiving it TO be the one
be had lost, cried out in joy, All. are you
there? Have I found you at last ?" and i'm
mediately dismounting ran to the wood. Girls
pin, taking advantage of the butchers absence
unstrapped the calf, and actually got back
with it to the publican before the butcher ar
rived to tell the mournful tale, who attributed
it entirely to witchcraft. The publican un-
raveled the mystery and the butcher, after
paying for and partaking of crowns worth
of punch, laughed heartily at the joke.
