Certainly jewelry Of al kiudwill sink enor.
mously in value; but still the island will
remain the greatest source Of wealth known
to mankind, and should not be lost to this
great and glorious country. t-.
p. ST. forgot to state that the captain
writes that the entire bottom of the ses
seems a. II glitterins with gems for a,
least Eve miles from the isAnds. Thsse
will probably never be Of use, for they
must be huge rocks Of diamonds, aud can
not be detached unless some better mode
of blasting under water than that already
practiced can be invented. I forgot also,
to add my conjectures that the reason the
diamond rock is seen in its full purity aris-
es from the fact that they were projected
right forward from the very center Of the
earth. What the captain calls white
transparent flint rock is probably some for
nation not known rs yet to geologists.
This will be better understood as soon as
the place is explored.

SMALLPOX ON THE PACIFIC COAST
The San Francisco Bulletin of November
eth has the following The smallpox,
which now afflicts not only the city but
the Pacific States and Territories, is the
most serious calamity that has occurred to
us since the drought Of 1864. Here in
San Francisco we are losing at the rate of
between 70 and 80 live, month by it, out
ofa population of $4,000; but N some
parts of the interior the scourge is even
more severe. In San Juan, Monterey
county, with population Of about 1000
people, there have been lSo eases, and Of
thee one.third, go, have died. Every
largo town in the State has had its loss,
though in some few favored localities it
has only been life or two. The disease

raised its head in Virginia City, and found
its way up the Columbia river to Portland.
1t has lolnicilc itself among the pines on
the shore, of Puget Sounl, and has found
victims among our British ncighbors-:n
the northern colonies. 1t is scourging the

are all excellent and timely precautions; !;
but there is bu. one remedy that excels all
Others in valac and in ccrtainty-and that
is vacinatiOn.
