CALIFORNIA MULE TEAMs.-Rev T. Starr
King, of San. Francisco ia letter to the Boston
Transcript, speaks of our mule teams in Califor-
MIA as follows:
The frequent and immense mule teams which
do the commerce between the highest mountain
towns and the river depots, gave rough and
flayorsome wildness to the scene. Huge wag-
ons, often two three lashed together, were
pulled by string ef twelve or fourteen mules,
which the drivers inspirted with the most pre-
posterous whips Often I saw whip over a
stalwart wagoner's shoulder which would be n
good load for ordinary city muscles The dri-
vers take great pride in the length and weight
Of ftheir whips and acquire singular skill in crack
ing them with both hands from the wagon wheel
over the ears of any one of the fourteen mules
that is disposed to shirl duty, There are about
forty thousand of these faithful, tough. patient
creatures in the State and we must have seen a
large percentage of them pulling the huge store
houses that supply the highlands, during our
forenoon ride to Knights Ferry, on the first slope
of the mountains. Though generally selling
cheap, the best specimens fetch very high prices.
Theoe is one mule team in Stockton, eight in
number, seventeen and half hands high, that
cost six thousand dollars.

TAe Southern Imbroglio.

Secession has taken one more step--an
important step. We did not think it possi-
bic, but it is done. South Carolina holds
possession of Fort Moultrie and Castle
Pinckney in Charleston harbor. Major An
derson, after vainly imploring Buchanan to
send him more men to maintain his posi-
| ton, spiked his cannon and retired to Fort
/ Sumpter, which is considered an almost i'm
pregnable point. The militia of South
Carolina now occupy the places recently
evacuated by the handful of U. S. troops,
and the reasonable palmetto flag now
shamelessly floats over fortresses that ought
to have been defended to the last
James Buchanan has impeached himself
before the American people. His conduct
has been such that every true American
execrates him, and will do so forever
While American history shall live among
the records of nations James Buchanan and
Benedict Arnold will be remembered and
hated and cursed. The latter had sense
of shame, for he plotted in secret. The
former, with brazen impunity, openly
gives aid and comfort to the enemies of his
country, violates his solemn oath, sets at
nought the laws of the land, and prostitutes
the moral and political virtue of the gov
ernment
Not long since his Secretary of War sent
dewn seventy thousand stand of arms to
Charleston. The symptoms of insurrcction
were strong in that quarter at the tune. No
seventy thousand troops were 20 be marched
to that point. What were the arms sent to
that infected section for? The question is
answered, that it was an old order Why
then was it not countermanded 1t
would seem that none but traitor would
send arms to region where insurrection
was rife, without sending men to use them
The President designed dispatching no SOL
diers to use the arms. He did not send the
necessary aid when demanded by the mill
tary commandant in Charleston harbor-
But after putting the seventy thousand arms
belonging to the government under cover,
he pusilanimously allows the secessionists
to take them without putting forth even the
smallest effort to protect the munitions of
war belonging to..he nation.
With these facts before the American peo-
pie it is impossible for them to believe 9TH
erwise than that the President is in rapport
with the rebels and traitors lie stands
convicted of perjury and treason at the bar
of public opinion, and no act of his car
wipe away the damnabe STAIN A brand
more indellible than that on Cain is fixed
upon him which rcmotest time cannot efface.
An ong men of all parties here a halter is
freely spoken OF as the just reward of such
conduct. Thanks to the patriotic people
of the Union the reign of treason is but
little more than sixweeks longer. Another
era is dawning, and all patriotic eyes look
anxiously for the sun-break of a more glo-
rious day

IMMENSE CAsTlSGs-The great wheel.
weighing seven tons, has been successfully
cast at the Pacific Foundry. 1t is nine feet
four inches in diameter. sixteen inches face
and four and half inches pitch. This is
the largest casting yet made on the Pacific
coast, and, notwithstanding its great size,
it is as perfect in every part as any casting
of ordinary size would be- A casting (nearly
as large) of shaft fer the large new stea-
mer now building at North Beach, has lately
been completed there. 1t weighs five tons.
The job is for Messrs Kidd & Phillips, OF
Nevada, who are the owners of the boat.

RATE LEAVING THE SHIP.-The proyerb
of rats leaving a sinking ship is strihingly
exemplifed in the desertion of the Cabinet
of Buchanan. The Administration is about
sinking beneath the contempt of the Amer
ican people, and three of the Cabinet have
made haste to leave the rotten hulk before
it disappears for ever. Cass, Cobb and
Floyd have deserted in the time of sore dis
tress, leaving the old Public Functionary
with nobody to help him in the hour of
need. 1t must be doleful state of affairs
which would compel these Office holders to
let go the public udder. 1t is the worst
looking feature Of the times.

WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE PATENT Or
FIcE IF THE UNION Is DISSOLVED ?-The
above inquiry we extract from a business
letter received from correspondent resid-
ing in Alabama. The idea OF a dissolution
of the Union has forced upon his mind a
painful interest in behalf of one of the
noblest institutions of our government.
The dissolution of the Union can only be
effected by a secession of some of the States.
This would not necessarily break up the
Federal Government, and, for the present,
its scat of power would remain at Wash
ington. Should the government acquiesce
in the peaceful secession of the States, then,
to all intents and purposes, these seeding
States would he regarded as foreign coun-
tries, and their citizens treated accordingly.
But the business of the Patent Office would
still go on, and all applicants for patents
would be dealt with according to law.
The citizens OF seeding State would,
under such circumstances, be subject to all
the legal liabilities imposed upon foreign
ers, and upon presentation by one oil
them of an application for n patent, the
government fee would be $500. If an in
ventor could swear that he was still cit
izen of the United States, even though re-
siding temporarily in foreign country
be would be required to pay fee of only
$50.
We believe we have stated the matter
fully and correctly, without reference tc
any of the political issues that connec,
themselves with the subject. Inventor;
who are desirous of applying for patents
and are apprehensivc that the States il
which they reside will withdraw from tn,
| Union, had better file their applications a
once, and thus save themselves S270, being
| the difference between the present fee anC
the one to which they would be liabl,
when they could no longer swear that the,
were citizens Of the United States.-Scien

A Card.
To THE PUBLIC.

Owing to false impression made upon the
mind of the public with reference to the What
Cheer House, in consequence of the change re-
Gently made in this establishment, it seems to
be necessary to make a statement of facts, in
order to correct these false impressions.
In the first place, the What Cheer House has
not been " curtailed" restricted and " nearly
ruined" as has been stated, but has all the
room and superior facilities and convenieuces
for accommodating the travelling public that it
possessed prior to tie recent change-including
Eating, Lodging, Library and Reading Rooms,
Museum, Laundry Office, Barber Shop, etc., etc.,
to say nothing of the Improvements made and
the great reduction of prices. In place of the
old dilapidated rooms in the part of the build
ing vacated, equal number has been fitted
up in elegant style, rendering the What Cheer
House superior even to what it has been hereto
ore. We can assure those who may favor us
with their patronage, that their accommoda-
tious shall be ample, their comfort enhanced,
and their privileges numerous and unrestrict-
ed as ever. R. B. WOODWARD, Propr.
