Bishop Andrews, of the Methodist Churqh, furnishes the Southern AJhristi- n Advocate vvittfc an account of his ti n vels, and the sights he had seen in the great State of the Pacific, and among them none ate more interesting than his description of a. visit to the family group of enormous trees, (about 80) qoyv grow ing in the county of Calveras, which far magnitude of size and height,- probably excel any trees in the world. The Bish op says after alluding to the large one that was cut down and taken to New York a year or so since :— “ We proceed to a description of some others of this majestic family. The Miner’s Cabin is 80 feet is circumfer ence, nearly 300 feet high. The Three Sisters are all from the same root; 300 fe« high—arid togethei"m<*trsuW* 92 feet in circumference.—The Pioneer’s Cabin is about 150 feet high—the circumfer ence not recollected. The Bachelor 300 feet high, 60 in circumference. Poor fellow, he stands alone, roygh and* unsociable in looks, his ou ter garments rather rough and unpolished. The Ile’mit stands entirely alone. 320 feet Her- cnles 850 feet high, 75 feet in circum ference. This is probably taking it all in all, the largest standing tr< e in the grove, and would make, if sawed up s -me 725,000 feet of lumber. The. Husband and Wife stand affectionately near each other at the base, and -eem to approximate more and more closely as they ascend heavenward, a beautiful em blem of the imipiate and a fferjinnate' un ion demanded in that hallowed and en dearing relation, standing in close rela tionship in the beginning of life’s journey mgeiher, their branches interlocking and blending in beautiful foliage, as they journey upward to heaven. They are evh about 250 feet high and 60 feet in circumference. The Family Group consists of twenly- six, the Father and Mother, and twenty fotlr well grown children. The Father was Idown down many years, possibly some century % or two ago. Its circum ference, ns nearly as can he ascertain ed, was 110 feet,.and the height was pro bably about 400 feet. We, with some difficulty, and by means of steps, which had been cut in its sides, clambered to the top side of this prostrate giant, and walked the greater part of its leng’h^and I must confess n thing in the group im pressed me so forcibly and solemnly as did this prostrate and decaying monarch of the forest —It was a fit time and place to indulge irf the imaginative and senti -. mental, and. if there had been any poetry in my composition, I should certainly have indited a poem on the occasion. But this was outof the question, so Itlir- Mulged in a long train of prose imagin ings. I looked baclt to t|t£ time when this tree was a little sprout, just peeping from the earth. Year after year, age after age had passed on, and it grew and enlarged, its branches climbed heaven ward, and its trunk expanded until it stood in that Jone, wild spot the undis puted monarch of the forest.—Perhaps no civilized age of-man ever gazed on him in his glory. The roving savage and the grim and fearful grizzly bear had looked on him and lain down at his roots, and the birds of loftier aspiration sought h resting place in his branches. The mighty forests of the eastern world had fallen in rapid succession before the advancing march of civilized man,-but no woodman’s axe had broken the soli tude of his peaceful domain. Empires had sprung up and flourished, mighty warriors had marched their conquering from whence he. sprang. Terrible must have been (he crash when he fell. The tree embedded itself several feet deep in the earth, making quite a deep channel. It i: hollow, and near its root there is an ever running- spring of pure water,’ which courses at some length through the body of the tree. We may add that the hollow of the free is so large tliat a man can easily ride into it on horseback. The Mother,is a stately old dame, 9.1 feet in circumference, 827 feet high. The Children arc all of age, and big enough to speak for themselves.— The Mother hod Son a,r«t together 93 feet in circumference. The Siamese Twins, one trunk, separates 40 feet up, 300 feet high- Old Maid stands by her self, head entirely bare and slightly bow ing, 260 feet high.—Addie and Mary fire two pretty looking trees, named in honor of the two young ladies who made the first buggy drive to the grove. We have noticed only n few of the most prominent trees. A large number remain unnoticed, not because they are undeserving of special regard, hut be cause I don’t wish to tire my readers. Thera is Uncle Tom’$ • Cabin, and the Pride of the Forest, and others of large dimensio.fi*, which in any other land, would attract pilgrims by the thousands. These trees are situated in the valley, within some 15 or 26 miles of the snow line of the Sierra Nevada, and about 50 miles front the ^umuiit of that lofty range. The latitude of the gr jve is about 4550 feet above San Francisco. .They have a pretty fair Hotel kept at the Big Tree, where I paid for one night’s— myself and wife—lodging, breakfast and supper, and one horse, only $8,80. They lutvtt.1 he .coolest and most delicious watei I ever drank in the St/Ue It is proper to add that the bark of these trees is spongy, exceedingly light, and the thick est piece yet found was 25 inches thick. The trees are a. species of Arbor Vitae. The wood is a good deal like the cedar in color, and is soft and spongy. Finally, let no one suppose that the large trees constitute the whole of the forest. Smaller trees of many varieties abound, of which the Arbor Vitae is perhaps predominant,yet there are many other "varieties, among which is tile Balsam tree. There are also shrubs in great variety. We-saw abundance of strawberries now in bloom, and tli mountain raspberry and currents and gooseberries* tha-herry of which is cover ed with prickles. The trees have been cut down round the house for a few acres, so as to let in day light, yet the place look* wild, and the surrounding forest is no doubt a fa vorite resort for wild beast*. The lady of the house told,ns that shortly aflei*ber arrival one morning, a large grizzly bear with twolialf grown cubs, came up to the edge of the yard. Two balls were .fired at her which took effect, when she staggered up to the kitchen and died. The fubs were ulyn killed. She sahl that at another time herself and another lady had walked a little way into the forest and were standing on a stump looking round. What if we should see a griz zly,’ said one of them, when, happening to turn, there were three in full view of them. One of the beasts advanced to wards them a short distance, and the ladies were of course in no very pleasant mood, anticipating what might come next. But happily for them, grizzly seemed to take a second thought, perhap: he judged it-tingrizZlyfied to attack two helpless women. 'At any rate, after eyeing thbtn for 9 moment, he turned quietly nway, and T neeifnot say that the ladies made track- faster from the bear than he did fro/n them. Ho grizzlies have been seen in the* neighborhood for some, time past, hpt the wolve* still come up to the.very door* frequently at night Aug.. 1855. * Ja^ O. Andrews. THE FORESIGHT OF QtJR FA THERS. Mr. Berrien states, in his American Letter, that p.rior to 1S00, the annual for eign immigration was not over 5000. In 1787, when the Federal Constitution was formed, the Wa-diiogtons, Madisons, Shermans and Hamilton* that made it, deemed it their duty to provide*— 1st, That the President of the United States should he a -native bom citizen. 2d. That the Army of the United States should he in his native bom' Americna hands. Sd". .That the Navy of* fhe'United States should be under native born Am erican control. 4th. That Treaties should be organiz ed and made by a native born citizen. 5tli. That Federal appointments and patronage should come from this native born American source. 6th. That the militia of the several States, when called into s. r ice of the United States, should be under the Pre sident’s native born command. 7tli. That only a native born citizen should have the Federal veto power. 8tli. That the Vice President of the United States should be a native. 9di.

THE HEBREW NEW YEAR. Last Thursday was the .first day of T-ishry, the first month in the Hebrew --civil year. On that day every good Jew throughout the world commemo rated with appropriate religious service the beginning of the new year. According to the traditions of the rabbis, it is. now just 5,610 years since that interesting event known as the cre ation of the world took place, and if we are to believe the prophecies of other Jewish writers, in the year 6000 of the Jewish Calendar, that is, in 384 years more, or in 2239 according., to the Christian eta, that other still more ex traordinary event—-the destruction of the world—will come to pass. As it is nut likely that any of our readers will witness the occurrence, we announce tie prophecy for the especial edifica tion of those who live in the year 22 39. The Jewish ecclesiastical year be gins in the month of Nesson. This was because of the command of God to Mo ses, as related in Numbers '“This month shall be unto you the beginning* of months ; it shall he the first ni'-nth of the year to you." This firstlings of the flock, and hailing with paeans and songs of joy the opening year, the season of seed time, of spring and of hope. Ant) then, when fall comes and the earth- yields up her golden stores, the feast of the Tabernacle typifies to the Hebrew a proper conception of his relation to.his Creator aud God. This time is designated “ the feast of the in gathering. which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered thy labors of 1 he field.’’ It is remarkable that these people ob serve these ceremonies with such-tena- «itv.

Boards are plac ed on the sides of the cars almost as low as the rails, and a canvass extends from one platform to another, covering 'all the connexions. This arrangement is designed to keep down the dujtt, which can only escape at the end of the last car in the truin.

T[ie following from the 23d chapter of Leviticus gives the law for these feasts aud fasts, as lakTdownby Moses:— In the seventh month, in the first day of the month; shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets an holy convocation. Ye shall -do no servile work therein ; but ye shall -offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And the Lord spake unto Moses; say- ,ng ’ . Also on the tenth d i v of this seventh month there shall tie a day of atonement; it snall-be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. And ye shall do no work in that same day ; for it is a day of atonement; to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God. For whatever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall he cut off from among his people. Ye shall do no manner of work;' it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your soul; in the ninth day of the month at even, from evm unto evenj shill ye celebrate your Sabbath. And the Lord spake unto Moses, say ing Speak unto the children of Isreal, saying : The fifteenth day of thjsseveutb month shall be the feast of the taberm- cles for seven days unto the Lord. On the first day shall be an holy con mcation; ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord ; on ihe eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall offer an offering made by fi.e unto ihe Lord—it is a.sol- emn assembly; and ye shall do no scr vile work therein. Marrying Cousins.—Tt:e N. York Day Book has the following paragraph in regard to a very interesting question: “Among other profound subjects dis- cu-sed by the Association for the Ad- vancement*of Science, now in session at Providence, Rhodeisland.is the question whether a man may marry his cousin. Some fe irful examples inthexlcfoimity of posterity are cited to prove that such near relations should not intermarry.— Instances of blindness, < lab-feet, &,c., are mentioned.
