Where through Its tinted windows
Therosy daylight smiles.

Never carried a heart more happy

In the Lords own safe possession,
Is this year so fair to view;

The SUNKKN FRIGATE CoNaREss.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Bulletin has
lately been on a visit to Fortress Monroe. In
giving some incidents Of the late naval en-
gagement, he says:
The saddest sight one need care to witness is
that ofthe chaTed remains Of the Congress,
lying off Newport News, whereishe was burned
to prevent her falling into rebel hands, and the
masts of the Cumberland, protruding from the
water wherein she was sunk by the Merrimac
her flag still floating defantly in the breeze.
Gazing upon this picture, one recalls most WV
idly the terrible scene in which these wrecks
were made, and sympathises more deeply than
before with the bereaved ones whose grief we
realize so painfully in the presence of the spot
on which the sun of many bright and loving
hope sank into the wateTy tomb of brave men
who here sacrificed their lives upon the patriot
altar. Did tell you of the manner in which
the veteran Com. Smith received the news,
during the progress of the fight, that the flag OF
the Congress, commanded by his gallant son,
bad been struck to the enemy? The Commo-
dore is man of few words, but full of kindly
feeling and fatherly affection. When told that
his sons vessel had hauled down her flag, the
old man, brushing aside the manly tear that
rolled down the furrows of his time and service
worn cheek, quietly responded, "Joe's dead J!
What world of fatherly confidence and attec-
ton was expressed in this simple homespun
phrase The old weather-worn sailor knew
his son, and Judged rightly that his flag never
trailed to the traitor foe while he livedt uphold
it. Too true was the old mans eloquent tribute,
for his boy lay lifeless upon the deck before the
flag committed to his charge was lowered in
in token of surrender.

A TREMENDOUS LAND SLTDE.-A telegram
from Genoa, Nevada Territory, of April
30lh. says:
At precisely o'clock this afternoon our citi-
zens were startled by a tremendous noise re-
sembling an earthquake. All rushed to the
street, when it was observed that an immense
landslide had occurred in the canon, at the
mouth of which formerly stood fine new
saw-mill owned by Scott x Tuttle. 1t was the
work of but a moment, and there was not a
yestige of the mill left. Everything was instan-
taneously swept to the bedrock killing and man
Cling the body of r. Brashers, who was loading
lumber below the mill, and dashing onward in
its mad career, sweeping everything before it,
including Mr.. Brashers' house, about 200 yards
below the mill. His family barely escaped.
The mill cost some 81 900 or $4,000. Tho bo-
dy of Mr.. Brashers was soon found and dug
out from the mud and timbers, horribly man
ged. Two yoke of cattle were buried. One
yoke was dug out alive and sound; the other
was mashed to pieces, together with the wagon.
J. w. Spurgeon had narrow escape. He
took refuge behind large tree Immediately be-
low the mill, and the whole wreck passed over
him, enveloping him in total darkness for sew
eral seconds leaving marks on the tree forty
feet high. He escaped without scratch.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 8, 1862.

TAG Republican State Committee have
called Convention to meet at Sacramento
an the I7th of June, and invite all Uaion
men TO take part in election of delegates
Ia order to make az much capital as posi-
BILE out of the Union sentiment, the com.
mittee, in their cali, avoid designating 1t as
sRepublican Convention. This of course,
is mere trick to increase their party
strength. The Republican managers nev-
or tried, and never wanted, to unite in one
party the Union sentiment Of the State, un-
less It could be done under their own party
organization. The trick Of emitting the
word Republican" in the call, is too tran
spareut to catch votes. The call being
made by the Republican Committee, and
the machinery of that party being used in
The election of delegates, it will be neither
more nor less than Republican Conven-

SACRAMENTO FORWARDING HoUsE.-We de-
sire to again call the attention Of business
men of Nevada county, to the advertise
ment of Col. o. H. p. White, who is still en-.
gagged in the forwarding business at Sacra-
mento. Col. White formerly resided in
this county, and since he took ap bis resi-
dence at Sacramento has attended to the
most of the forwarding business for the
Nevada and Grass Valley merchants. Dur
ing the past winter and early spring. the
bulk of the supplies for this county were
received by way of Eliza and Marysville;
but as dealers are again beginning to have
their goods brought up by the old route, by
way of Sacramento, Col. White is anxious
bis old friends should bear In mind that he
is still at Sacramento, engaged in his old
business

before New Orleans. According to rebel
reports, the forts we're not captured, and
the Federal troops had not landed in the
city. The garrisons in the forts, being cut
OF from supplies, must soon surrender, and
the city can be occupied by the troOps when
ever the Federal commanders think proper.

large sums.

the condition that he should not on the occa-

sTATE FINANCES.

STATE FlNAhCESs
The Transcript of this morning devotes
column and half of its space, 10 answer
to an article in our Thursdays Issue, on
the State finances. The Transcript has q
happy faculty of using figures to suit It's
purpose, aud might satisfy an unrehecting
person, who is ignorant of our State histo'
ry, that the KnOw-Notbing administration
of 1856 was model of economy and patri-
otism. BY the transcripts own showing,
however. we ind that on the first OF Janua-
~, 1856, when the Know-NothiDgs came
into power, the civil debt of the State
amounted to $3,508, ,97s 46. On the first
of January, 1857, the debt amO"nted to
S4,I3I,l ,l27 81. This is about the amount
that was funded, which did not include any
of the war debt. Thus we find that during
the first seven years Of Democratic rule, the
State was running in debt at the rate OF
$5OO,OOO year; and the Know-Nothings,
during their single year of rule, improved
upon Democratic extravagauce, by increas-
ing the debt 1922, ,14s. This is according to
the Transcripts own figures.
The assertion of the Transcript that the
Democrats bad control of the Senate is not
true. The Know-Nothings had majority
in that body as we'll as in the Assembly,
and the Governor and State officers were
all Know-Nothings. That party was not
able to elect Senator, in consequence of
The refusal of some of the Know-NOthing
Senators to vote for the Union-saver Foote,
and on this fact, we presume, the Transcript
bases its assertion that the Democrats had
control of the Senate.
In 1857, the Democrats had majority
in both branches of the Legislature, and it
was during that session that the cash sys-
TEN was adopted. 1t is possible that some
of the Know-Nothings members voted for
the measures by which the State finances
we're placed in healthy condition; and it
is certain that many Wbig members assist
ad by their votes in the extravagant ex'
penditures of previous years.
Ii the Democrats, as party, are charga-
BILE with the extravagant expenditures pre-
vious to 1856, because they had majority
in the Legislature, then the Know-Notbings
are responsible for the extravagances OF
that year, including the corrupt State Pris-
on contract with Estell, by which, accord
ing to the transcripts showing he was en-
abed to pocket profit of $4,000 a year.
AS to the heavy expenditures during the
last few months Of Bigler's administration,
and which are greatly Overated by the Tran
script, it is sufficient to remark, that the
money was not expended for keeping the
State convicts, but for building the State
Prison walls. The contract with Estell,
which be received as q reward for partisan
services, gave him $4,000 month for
keeping the convicts, and was to extend,
we believe, for six years. The cancelliDg
of this contract cost the State something
like half million dollars.
