A STORM BREwING.-The more intelli-
gent organs of the Administration no
longer deny the fact that the financial
condition Of the country is extremely
critical. An inflated currency and o
crushing national debt and onerous taxes
are great draw backs to the prosperity of
country, no matter how boundfess its
resources may be. The people are no
longer deluded by the constant boast of
good times by the followers of the Ad-
ministration. California has felt less of
the burdens and evils of the war than
any State in the Union, and yet our S tate
has suffered severely from the scarcity of
money and the pressure of the times. If
the country were prosperous it would be
entirely different. The New York Tri-
June, anticipating the crash frankly says:
"The tins is at hand when questions of
economy and retrenchment will be in order
nay, when the weight Of public burdens will
compel their consideration. Let those who
care TO outlive'the storm which is plainly brew
ing, look well to their record !"
The causes which have produced high
prices, and led many people to believe
that the country was prosperous. have
been plunging US into ruin. Those who
cannot swim will do well to get out their

istence, despised and execrated by every

At Diamond Springs on Tuesday, March 90,
Of Paralysis, JonS r. TrLLEs in the 5lst year
OF his age.
The subject Of this notice emigrated from
New Mexico TO California in 1854, and located
in Diamond Springs in the fall Of that year,
where he has resided continuously ever since.
During this time he was principally engaged in
developing what is usually known a. .As "Tul.
les Copper Mine," located on the Cosumnes
river, about l6 miles South east of this place
The deceased, By his engaging, dignited and
unobtruslve manner-his jealous regard for his
honor and his unimpeachable integrity, sue
ceeded in completely winning the confidence
and esteem of all who were brought in contact
with him, by either business or social relations.
Among those who knew him and appreciated
his many good traits Of churacter-w no under
stood bis genial and generous nature. we may
safely say that We have rarely witnessed 30
much of sincere and heartfelt sorrow ns was
manifested ON the reception of the news Of bis
death. Indeed, we do not believe that We in
dulge in any idle expression or eXtrAvsgant
demonstration Of feeling, when We say that
few men in this community have SO thorough
ly endeared themselves to those who have
been Intimately associated with them, as our
deceased friend. During the early period Of
bis illness, his friends felt aud hoped that the
hrm and IDdcmitable spirit, which seemed to
animate MS immortal soul In Its herce conflict
with the dreadful disease which was preying
upon him, would finally prove victorious; but,
alas their hopes proved TO be sad delusion.
The messenger of Death came with the fata
summons, and be was compelled to submit to
that Judgment which is final and irrev ocable,
and from which there Is no appeal. HE has
gone to that undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns" The frAil iene-
ment OF clay was too feeble for the strugglingS
OF its immortal guest. All that is mortal Of
him has been consigned to the dust whence il
sprung, and his immortal soul has taken its
flight and is now winging its way TO join the
Grand Council of Heaven.
Among the many friends who mourn hiA
loss, his memory will flourish as the green bay
tree. While they lament his untimely death,
and view his fate as hard and mysterious, thus
TO be cut down in the meridian Of bis useful
ness, they have the consolation TO knaw that
he has lett behind bim rich legacy, a mona.
ment more lasting than brass or marblc-a
pure and spotless name. lot linked with one
d!chonorable transaction.
$50 live, that, when thy summons comes TO Join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls OF death,
Thou go NOT, like the quarry tlAVe, al night,
Scourged TO his dungeon but, sustaind and Aoothed
by an unfaltering trust, approach Thy grave,
Like one that draws the drApery Of his couch
About him, aud lies down to pleasant dreams.

Pardon Worsley, the detective and spy. on
whose information number of merchants of
Washington and Baltimore were arrested some
weeks ago, charged with selling goods to the
rebels, has made an affidavit before the proper
authorities, that, having played at gambling
houses in Washington, he lost three thousand
dollars in money belonging to the government;
consequently the premises have been placed in
charge Of military guard, pending an investi-
cation into the affair.-Ex.
Is it not scandalous and reproach to
the American people that the Admins.
tration employs spies to bear false wit
ness against good men and ruin their
characters The intelligence that such
scoundrels would furnish the Government
must be of very reliable quality. In the
servic e of the Government this scamp
gambled away money that did not belong
to him, and then turned upon innocent
parties to get reward. Who is safe
from the prosecutions of such villains?-
1t is fair to presume that every man who
is base enough to act as spy, would not
hesitate to peUure himself to please his
employers or to obtain large reward.
