NATIONAL POLICE FoRcE.-In Gee Of hi.
Washington letters. George Alfred Town
send says:
Sen ator Abbott, who lately challenged SEN
ator Sprague to fight a duel, and beat a re-
treat from his own echoes, and is now in the
perpendicular position asking for National
police force to keep order in the South, that
this is another instance of a man taking
counsel of his fears, retiring ingloriously
from a duel to think each bush an officer /:
and swearing out a warrant against mankind,
who lately undertook to whip half the State
of Rhode Island. Bashfulness, thy name is
Abbott. Let this case be 4 warning to young
men led beyond their depth in the morasses
of effrontery; for there can be no reason
whatever distinguishable for the introduction
of bill like this, unless Abbott can explain
it in the words Of Macbeth, who foolishly sup
posing he beholds the deceased Banquo, ex-
claims:
s.Do not muse at me, my most worthy friends;
have a strange infirmity which is nothing
To those that know me"
Townsend very appropriately suggests that
Sprague and Abbott be joint Commissioners
over this police, with headquarters At Bla-
densburg.

CIGAR-MAKING MAcHINE.-The Scientific
machine, which it says is destined to revolu-

aid girl can easily make l.5OO cigars per
day. 1t consists, briefly, of two pairs of con-
cave rollers, one of which pairs is in the up
per part Of the case. and the other in the
lower part these two parts closing together
BY hinge. By the act of closing, the two
pairs of rollers are geared together; and as
the members of each pair revolve in opposite
directions, a roll Of tobacco, placed between
is equally compressed on all sides towards
the center The mouth end Of the cigar is
shaped by "header," or conical recess,
into which it is gently pushed by spiral
spring during the revolution. The appara-
tus may be run by steam, or by treadle like
that of a sewing machine.

New KIND OF PAPER.-A new kind of
paper, especially adapted to various
kinds of clothing, has been invented in
England. Both animal and vegetable
materials are employed in its product
ion, the latter being New Zealand flax,
ju,e. hemp, and cotton, and the former
wool, silk, skins, sc. These matters
are reduced to apulp and bleached, and
then fel,ed in appropriate machinery.
The mixture of these materials gives a
paper Of extraordinary pliancy, Aexibil.
itv, and strength, which may be sewn
together as easily as woven fabrics, and
makes as strong a seaE:. Among the
articles made of the paper are quilts and
table cloths, stamped with patterns of
great beauty curtains, shirts, and vari
Gus other articles of dress. A very good
imitation of leather is made of it, of
which furniture coverings, and even
shoes may be made. The last may be
rendered waterproof BY the introd uction
of oils and india rubber.

MAnYsv,1Is, February M.-The Sacra
men,o River il reported to be very high q
Colusa, and the streams between this city AMI
Colusa are fiooded-so much 90 that to-day
the Colusa stages met at Moons Ferry ans
returned. The Vallejo Railroad embank
ment across the tules, between Marysville
and Knights Landing is badly washed. The
company are brushing" the north side, but
if heavy north wind should prevail before
the repairs are completed, it is though: the
embankment will melt away in many places.
The river rose about three feet last night, but
is again falling. The grades outside on the
levee were again overlooked. The water is
falling this evening.
The California and Oregon Railroad Com
pany is now running extra trains across the
Yuba River bridge to Hedges Station, to
convey passengers for the Nevada stages,
which are shut out by the overflow of the
Simpson grade.
Rain fell all the afternoon, but the clouds
cleared away just before shutdown and the
storm appeared to blow over.
CARLIN, February 24.-We have very ia
vorabIe accounts from Railroad Mining Dis
trict. In spite of the inclemency of the
weather many mines in that district are being
vigorously prospected. The Lone Mine is
turning out large quantities of excellent ar
gentiferous galena. The Orphan Boy and
Snow Drop mines are also producing large
quantities of fine copper ore. Rich develop
ments have been made upon the Mountain
View Mine, the ore assaying as high as 49,
$50 per ton in silver. There will no doubt
be lively times in Railroad District as soon
as Spring opens.

UNITED STATES DONDS Oh A PAR
WITH GOLD!

! Says q New York Dispatch dated he 24tl
Instant:
| Today there was . marked nd important or,
in the national credit-the 1881 boods, or loul
skies, Sid at 1l7K@lls; At the Same time gold
vas ut these fsure--thus reaching par in gold.
Indeed the 24,h Of February, 1870. does
constitute "a marked and important era in
the national credit" The great rebellion but
five years dead and the securities Of the
United States Government equal in market
value with gold! Thus is the country being
repaid for its wisdom in the selection of .
President and the sustainment Of = Repub-
lic.n Congress. This sort Of financial recon-
struction takes care Of itself, asserts its own
vitality and perpetuates itself. Grant has not
yet been one year in he Presidential chair.
Think of this; and then contemplate what is
promised to US if he is preserved to the Ma
ton during the three remaining years of his
term. The prediction is natural and well
based, that with no extraordinary mishaps
to prevent, the country will, before the expi-
ration of that time, not only be on a cash
basis, but clear of all sense of burden from
the public debt. And all these grand things
are progressing and illustrating themselves
while, at the same time, the Democratic
party is wailing over "the destruction of
liberty and the erection of
a central despetism," muttering outcries
against "the evils of an irredeemable cur
rency" and declaring for reputation.
