The Port Royal Mission.

The New York EUsniRg Post, speaking of the
mission to the contrabands at Port Royal, says
By the time their late masters--if such a
thing should happen-begin to think Of reduc-
ing them to their former servitude, they will
be ready to meet their tyrants With resistance
so firm, so well organized and so well provided
with means that the enterprise win be utterly
hopeless.
The Buffalo Courier remarks on this: We
suppose the Post does not mean that the mis-
sionaries are to educate the slaves up to the in
surrectiOnary point but the passage sounds
very much as il this was its meaning

SPRING.
Gladsome wnsome spring shele, tf
With her world Of charms
See her beauties bursting forth
From her mothers arms.
See the smiling crocus beds,
With the bright, gay flowers
They're the hrst In Flora'S train, ,.
That are kissed by warm spring showers
Here's the meek eyed daisies wee,
Peeping from the mellow ground
Bowing their gentle modest heads,
As IL to hide from gayer flowers around.
And the blue.eyed violet, too,
Seeks some quiet corner sly,
As IL unconscious Of Its charms,
And would not with Its sisters vie
The rose, the immortal queen
Among all other flowers
Its slowingpetas, rich and rare,
Open In warm and sunny hours.
The air is vocal with the song OF BIRDS ia
oaroling their Makers praise;
From slumber sweet we're early woke, ti-
By the hymn'of gratitude they raise.
With happy heart the ploughboy sings
Az he burrows the broad rich field;
Content to await the reward Of bis toll
In the rich return Of bounteouS yield
Spring, the hAppiest in the train
OF the seasons four,
Brings to earth more praise and gladnesS
And unrolls the richest store
a LuCIE.

POWDER MANUFACrORY.--Ap powder manu-

company which has just been incorporated
with capital stock Of 100000. The war

can be proftably made in California, where
there is large and steady demand for il
for blasting purposes. The Ingredients of
gunpowder are charcoal, sulphur and salt.

cheaply procured at home. The charcoal
employed is made of willow. we believe,
which grows on all of our valley and noun.
tain streams. Sulphur is very plentiful in
many parts of the State, particularly in San
Luis ObspO, Santa Barbara and Los Ange-
les counties. where vast beds of it exist.

at the bead waters Of the Pajaro river, in

A FLEET OF SMALL VEssELs.-There are
at present in the ship-yards of New York,
says the Commercial Advertiser, of Nov.
u, twelve or fifteen schooners, of from 250
to $50 tuns each, which are undergoing q
novel modification in order to fit them for
service along the coast. They are strength
eDed with additional beams aud knees, and
have extra decks on which their armament
is worked.
The peculiar feature of the change being
effected in them is that they are to be built
up solid in front, where an enormous NOR
tar. weighing twenty-five thousand pounds,
will be mounted.
The tremendous shock from the discharge
Of thirteen inch mortar will require the
greatest degree of firmness in ship to re-
sist it successfully. hence the determination
to build these small vessels solid in front.
No other armament will be placed on board
these craft, although some have been fitted
to carry four guns. The light draft of these
vessels peculiarly fits them for service along
the Southern coast, which is indented with
so many inlets, creeks and sounds through
out the entire length. ~
Directions have been given TO use all pos
sible diligence 10 completing these vessels.
MS they are intended for immediate service.
They have therefore been divided among
almost as many ship builders as there are
vessels. The al mament for these schooners
is being prepared at Pittsburg.

A DEIUGE SMITrEN COUNTRY.-The nu-
merous abandoned channels or ancient river
beds which have yielded snch liberal treas
ures to the miners Of California, bear testi-
mOny to the violence and frequency of the
floods which have at various times swept
over the State. The manner and method
Of these changes are revealed by the hn.
sua behavior of Bear river, which, during
the late fresbet, was forced completely ont
Of its old channel and tore new one some
six or seven miles in extent, while the old
bed was filed up with gravel and detritus
from the mines above. 1t is many years
since freshet as severe as the present one
has occurred in California, but Indian le-
gends refer to the occurrence many moons
ago of a terrible deluge which broke up the
earth's foundations and carried away the
native inhabitants by the thousand. Soma
such catacysm it may have been which
shut off the passage of the waters of San
Francisco bay to that Of Monterey, and
made a sandy waste Of so large portion
Of the American continent.
