PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-The long looked for-long talked of Message of Andrew John sen. President of these United States, was duly delivered Co Congress early this month telegraphed to California, and on this 25th inst. we received what we suppose to be "a true copy of the original which is respect fully transferred to the columns of the Miner.
 We have read the Message with interest and attention. It isa very plain, comprehen- sive, well written state document. The ar rangement of the various topics treated is admirable, and not a sentence nor paragraph but can be read and fully understood by eve " intelligent school boy
 The commencement and leading feature of the Message is devoted to the subject of re- construction. or restoration of the Southern States to the Union. Ou this matter the President is clear, candid and logical; his ar gumcnts are strong and irresistible Not a word of bitterness nor sarcasm can be found in this or any other portion of the document. And we venture the opinion that the charac- ter and tone of this state paper will do moro to quiet and harmonize the bcllgereut spirits, north and south, who have been blowing at the political cauldron for months past, than was expected to be accomplished for years to come.
 That the President has been charged by the radical party of the north with all manner oi wrong doing, we all know. That an excite ment has been raised which has found its ex- pression at the ballot box at the recent elec- tions in several of the northern States, is also a truth. Threats of impeachment, and even imprisonment, have been made. Candidates for election to ongress, claimed to be Union men, have been asked Co pledge themselves in favor of all the points said to be made against the Executive; and we believe in some in- stances these pledges have actually been made and probably by parties who did not, and do not now know whether the President is right or wrong
 The portion of the Message relative to France and Mexico will be found deeply in. teresting
 With these brief remarks we commend the perusal of the Message to every body. And if the unprejudiced and liberal minded Amer ican people do not appreciate and approve the high toned patriotism and craftsmanship which characterize this important address. we shall be greatly disappointed.

THE TWO VOICES.

When Guttenberg, the first printer, was working in his cell in the monastery of St. Aborsgot, he tells us that he heard two voices addres him. The one bade him desist; told him the power his invention would put in the hands of bad men to propagate their wicked ness; told him hew men would profane the art he had created, and how posterity would have cause to curse the man who gave it to the world. So impressed was Guttenberg with what he heard, that he took hammer, and broke to pieces the types he had so la boriously put together. His work of destruc- ton was only stayed by another voice, sweet and musical. that fell on his ear, telling him to go on, and to rejoice in his work; that all good might be the cause of evil but that God would bless the right in the end So tC all of us still come those voices that came tc Guttenberg; the one calling us to worl while it is called to-day-to try to leave thi, world better than we found it; and the other tempting us to give over and take our ease to leave the blow in mid-furrow, and to rest on our oars when we should be pulling against the stream.

the surer-heated steam is then turned on, and the whole seethed or boiled for an allot- ted period On the tol of this cylinder a water bath is placed, and as the mercurial vapors rise they become condensed Thus the system of thoroughly impregnating the crushed rock with quick silver is carried out with efficiency. After thus cooking, the cyl. inder door is opened, and the whole mass dis charged upona novel shaking table, which IS worked by the power of the steam employed in the previous operation. This table is built of copper. on wooden frame, with rollers and rifles of peculiar construction, which, when it is in motion, give the water, amalgam and dust the same action of the ocean surf an undertow. As the mass descends, the amalgam. from it's metalic weight, gradually clears itself from the quartz dust, and the re- suit is that it is all collected in the troughs of the rifles, containing every particle ot metal, be it precious or base, the quartz holds. The mode of applying super-heated steam to the crushed rock desulpherizes it, freeing the metals, and ali that is necessary is to retort the amalgam to obtain the result of the yield We learn that this process is not as expen- siye as the ordinary method of working, and the public will look with considerable inter est to the future experiments with the same It is to be hoped that it will prove reliable as by its means there are host of at present unproductiye quartz lodges which will afford renumerative results from such working By this process all the immense piles of taihng which environ almost every mill in California can be proitably millions of dollars now lie buried in these sand heaps.

NEW PROCESS FOR SAVING GOLD.


 It is well known fact that the gold mines in California, and several of the neighboring States, have not, for several years past, yielded the same amount of precious metals preyi- ously realized. The direct cause of this fail ure was attributed, and still is by many. to deterioration in the rock This was the cause of the failure of the working of the Mariposa estate, which involved a large out lay, and damaged to greater extent than can be estimated in dollars and cents, the mining interests of the Pacific Coast For several years past experiments have been made in an entirely new mode of extracting the precious metals, and six or seven years arduous labor have brought the same to a perfection that will, we think, lend great zeal to mining operations. It has been well known that the rock of the Josephine and Pine Tree mines of the Mariposa estate did not yield, under the wet crushing process and the working of ordinary quartz mills, oveI SIX dollars per ton, although the assays there of gave much larger results. 4 few month, since it was determined to experiment in the new process, the inventor of which had per sisted Tn maintaining it's superiority. Ac cordingly the necessary works were erecte, and the same fully tested. The result O working fifteen tons of the ordinary rock o

 nitted to the new method. Under ordinar, workings the yield was scarcely over six dol lars. The result of the present new system made return of four hundred and eight, dollars, or thirtytwo dollars per ton for tn, fifteen tons treated, an excess of over twent, dollars per ton in favor of the last This re sa!t $ Of great importance, es 1t may lead [. an entire revolution in quartz working, ant as such deserves a calm consideration of every one interested in the future prosperity of ou Territory. The result of the workings of tn, tailings of the Pine Tree, ,.Josephine, Princeton and other mines of the Mariposa estate, fully demonstrated that the system of wet crush ing, amalgamating in the batteries, etc, tn, usual method of quartz crushing, was los ing business; to make the mines pay, som, other system or method of working the quart was requisite. After much solicitation tn, new method was assayed, with the result a, stated. As it has demonstrated itself to be of great value-perfect in its workings much so, that an assay of the tailings exhib. its but trace of metallic matter, We will endeayor to explain the process.
 The rock is dry crushed, and afterwards submitted to the action of balls in a drum to Insure full pulyerizaton, it being desirable that the powder should approach as near wheat flour as possible A charge of this !. powdered quartz is then placed in an dir-tigbt cylinder, the interior of which is fprnisbed with worm ofpiPes to convey super-heated steam therein. Added to the charge is given quantity of quick silver, which is first heated by the introduction of ordinary steam.

ABsFSr FRIESDs.-The full import and meaning of these words are forced upon us about these days--these terrific Indian days of savage brutality upon our public roads and mountain passes. All of IIs who have friends travelling to or from our wild frontiers real ize the heart feeling and anxiety inherent in all good natures. Iris then the mind re- verts to the highest qualities of our absent ones. 'Tis then we naturally seek to express our feelings and appreciatory views of those we love and would honor. fin our minds eye we have before us one among others whom we daily miss in our association, whose intel feet is of high order; who displays great energy and splendor of immagination-writes too rapidly to be always correct, but when he takes his time his style is rich, elegant and forcible. He scars into regions beyond the vision of ordinary minds and though he may seem austere and indifferent, he carries heart susceptible Of tender, refined and warm emotions. AGATHA.

THE TENIAN RAID.

On the 9th of June last, in violation of our neutrality laws, 8 military expedition and en- terprise against the British North American Colonies was projected and attempted to be carried on within the territory and jurisdic- tiOn of the United States. In obedience to the obligation imposed upon the Executive by the Constitution to see that the laws are faithfully executed, all citizens were warned by proclamation against taking part in or aid
 ing such unlawful proceedings and the proD- CT civil, military and naval officers were di
 reeted to take all necessary measures for the enforcement of the laws. The expedition iailedj but lt has not been without it's Dain- fni consequences. Some of our citizens. who. 1t Was alleged, were engaged in the exDedi
 ton, were captured and have been brought to trial for capital offences in the province, of Canada.
