GOLD AND SILvBR.-The consumption of
gold and silver for coinage and household pur-
poses is enormous, its application having in
creased rapidly since the discovery Of gold in
Australia and California. The amount Of gold
annually taken from the mines of Europe is
valued at $25,000,000. In America the yield
is computed to be $l460 900, and Asia pro-
duces 25,000,000. Africa has no silver mines
but exports gold to the amount Of nearly 49,
100000. Australia is also without silver, but
produces gold to the large amount of $780,
100000 year. The whole amount of gold ex-
tracted from the earliest time is estimated at
some $25, ,526, 100000. The increase in the
production of gold and silver is enormous, and
we shall at the present rate, gain more in this
respect in fifty years, thun our ancestors did in
fifty centuries.

CoAsT DEFESsEs--0n Tuesday last. Geo.
Stanford transmitted to the Legislature
telegraphic correspondence had with Sec-
relaTy Seward, in relation 10 coast defen
ses. Seward says, that although no special
danger of war with any foreigO power ex

left unguarded and exposed, and expresses
the opinion that two iron-clad vessels like
the Monitor would be the best harbor de-
fense for San Francisco.

RAILROAD FROM GuAYMAs.-A railroad
company has been formed, principally of New
York capitalists, for building a railroad in So
nora from Guaymas to Ell Paso. A corps of
engineers are making a survey. They are to
commence the work in three years, or their
grant fails. The State grants to the company
every alternate league on the line of the road,
and all the mines, coal beds, waters, &c., that
may be discovered on those lands. 1t is inten-
ded to eventually connect with the Ell Paso rail
road in Texas.

INVESTMENTS IN MEXICAN SILvER.-Gus.
Refs, Of the firm of Reis Brothers, has been
spending the past Winter in Mexico, and has
purchased silver mine in SnolOa. He has
lately been in San Francisco, making ar
rangements to work the ledge. We see by the
Unions telegraph column, that company of
six or seven men, with a capital of half mil
lion dollars, starts on the next Panama steam
er, for Sinaloa, to commence operations in a
silver mine. This is probably the same pro-
ject. The Reises will be fortunate indeed, if
if they find as rich and steady-going a silver
yield in Mexico as the Sierra BVttes gold yield
has been to them.-[Si Sierra Democrat.

THE supply of water to Boston, from Lake
Coehituate, is so wholly inadequate, that, until
another pond can be opened, it is proposed to
cut off some of the heavier consumers, and put
meters upon all. The meters will cost half a
million Of dollars. An experiment was made of
one establishment, last month, the water tax of
which was $500 year, and it was found to
have used 81 ,4l6 worth in only thirty five days,
at the tariff rate of two cents per 100 gallons.

THE French TELEGRAPH on THE FIELD OF
BATT1E-A letter from Chalons, in the Nord,
describes various improvements in the adapta-
tion of the electric telegraph to the exigencies
of active campaigning. The writer says We
have had experiments with the telegraph which
succeeded perfectly and are very curious
Means have been discovered to establish
portable Telegraph A carriage is constructed
for that purpose, in which several cylinders or
enormous bobbins are fixed, round which are
rolled a quantity of iron wire of the thickness
of strong cord. The wire is passed by mas
chinery into the box of one of the wheels, and
according as the carriage moves, the wheel
turns and unrolls the wire A platoon of cav
airy soldiers follow.
Two men aght at every fifty PAGES to raise
the wire upon a slight stick. Four others do
the same, while the first are moving forward,
and raise the wire with a forked pole, which
they fix in the ground, and which is fastened
with cords strengthened with iron plates. The
horses in the carriage go forward at a gallop,
and the telegraph is fixed with extraordinary
rapldity. The apparatus is worked in the car
riage, which serves as an Office. When it is
intended to return, the action Of the cylinder
is reversed, and the carriage is turned round,
preceded by the men, who take down The
poles, replace them in light wagon, and wind
up the bobbins.

Where They Rest.

In a little valley, followed
From tie mountains verdant crest,
Far above the oceans level,
Far above the worlds gay revel,
Just beneath the vaulted heaven,
Where its first pure breath is given,
There they rest.
In the Spring the wild bee murmurs
Ger the sod above them pressed;
And the humming bird is darting,
Pausing. humming, slipping, starting,
Slipping nectar from the clover,
And the roses bending over
Where they rest.
There a little streamlet glideth.
Smiling on like something blest;
And the friends from the mountain,
Joining with that sweet-voiced fountain,
Sing a ceaseless song above them,
For all nature seems to love them
In their rest.
Now the little Z" Pleasant Valley"
In pure white robe Is dressed
And the winds, in solemn measures,
Chant their dirge, and wondroGs treasures,
Ermine robes and gems in keeping
Winter casts above the sleeping,
Still they rest.
These are but the caskets, folded
In the valleys sheltering breast;
But by Faith, we see the shining
OF the cr0wns of peace. entwining
Spirit brows, all white and pearly,
or the loved who left US early,
Seeking rest.

Editor Butte Record There is nothing cal

than the introduction OF a few handsome and
intelligent young ladies this happened to be
the case the other day, in our otherwise quiet
and prosaic little village, in which The mascu-
line gender IS 50 dominautly conspicuous. The
young ladies, who are passionately fond of vo-
cal music, were not neeeSSitated to wait long
for the qualification of their tastes, for Mr. p,

in the management of that eccentric and ezra
tic animal Pegasus with an enthusiasm that

manity. was seated among the young ladies,
singing an original composition with an inspi>
ration characteristic of q troubadour of the
oldcn time, when Mr.. F., one of our enterpris-
ing merchants, who is inordinately fond Of fe-
male society. was seen standing in the doorway,
as il glued to the identical spot Of his occu-
pancy-his otherwise expressive countenance
appeared perfectly blank with astonishment;
but the pretty plaudits Of the ladies drove him,
in desperation, TO his desk, where, with the
keenest sensations of Jealousy wranklng in bis
bosom, he concoeted the following sarcastic
lines and handed them to Mr. P:
To win the maid the poet tries.
And often sings before her eyes
She likes verse +; but, cruel whiIn,
She still appears averse TO him.
Mr.. 2. then composed the following and
handed it to Mr.. F.:
The merchant loves the stranger maid,
But when he meets her, seems afraid
To tell his love and learn his fate,
Until she's gone and It's too late;
Yet still he thinks his wares and wines
And other things for feminines,
VIII gain the maiden's heart so coy,
And make his own run DER With JOY;
But such allurements she declines
And seeks her home among the pines
In the meantime, Mr. J., having obtained
possession of the above little scraps of CORE
spondence, and wishing toPractice the policy
Of Intervention, offered the following
Indeed, between those poets true,
| think they're both in love with you:
They think their voices very sweet
To charm maidens lone retreat.
Their poetry. It's very true,
Does not disparage me or you;
With one at the desk, the other to mine,
Hath fallen in love with the maid of the pine.
How to settle this matter pretend not to know,
But time in its passage will certainly show
1t depends very much on the gentlemen's skill,
And very much more on the maden's good will.
The maiden young heart, so joyous and true,
Would not be offensive to either of you;
So write your verse, and your voices tune fine,
And still the fair maiden may dwell in the pine.

from the country say they want our

from town and Nould have to come in

izens of different localities to club to-
cether, subscribe, and send in some one
each day. Let there be some under
standing as to who shall go on a certain
day, or have some one to so all the time,
and have the papers left at some house
the most convenient. In this way the
community for several miles around
can be supplied with the news daily.
We propose this, not because it Will
benefit US SO much, but tor another
reason; as follows: We print off Il Ger.
tain number of papers daily, and as
paper is so scarce, we pin, but q few
more than needed by the subscribers,
consequently arc unable to supply sin
gle copies to country people who come
in town. Fer the first few days after
