Lexers allodged to be vflloable, pxjeted one post othce in the Uni f ed RtateH, and deliv erable at another such effioe, shall, from and after the first day of July, 1855, be registered at the office of mailing, on the application of the person posting the same, and the payment of a iioj\ lee of five cente. * 2. Postmasters are instructed to enter all such leUflrb ju a book obe prepared apd kept for the purpose to be called the receipt book, (which, in small offices, will be prepared by stitching togeth er the several sheets ol blank receipts furnished by this department,) containing blank receipts with a wide margin for a brief duplicate of edch, as in banfc check books. The postmaster wiil enter in this margin the number of the re ceipt, the date of filing it, the name of the person to whom the lettei is addressed, and the place to which it is to be marled. Ho will then fill up the receipt to correspond with this marginal entry, separate ib from the margin, and deliver it to the person who deposited the letter 3. Registered letters will net be entered in the ordinary accounts of mails received and sent, but separate account* Mich letters will be kept at each post office, to be ca.led account of registered let ters received and account of registered letters sent, blanks for whieh will be furnished by the •Departments 4. Whefi a letter has been leceived, registered, and receipted ffir, as directed in section 2, the postmaster will enter its number, the date of mail ing, the rate of postage, the name of the person to whom it is addtesHcd. and of khe office (ybether of distribution op*delivery,) to which it is to be sent, in his account of registered letters sent. He will meke a separate letter bill for each registered letter or parcel of registered letters f r the same office of dehveryor distribution, entering therein the num ber, addre-s, registration fee, and rate of pos age of each. He will then mail each such letter or parcel of letters, in a separate package from his un registered letters, end will seal each package, after tying it in the usua’ rrtafiftdt. ' # The let.ef bills of such registered letters will not be enclo-ed in the packages with them, but such letteT bills will be enclosed in aseparate wrapper or envelope, sealed, and addressed to the postmaster at the office to which- the corresponding package of registered letters is sent. To prevent delay in the examination and com fiarison of letter bills, the postmaster at each of the arger offices will assign to some confidential clerk (not employed in opening the mails) the duty of opening in his absence, official letters addressod to him. 5. In all large offices, where letters are received, en f ered and mailed by different persons, it shall be th* duty of the postmaster either to keep the receipt book provided for in section 1, or to desig nate some one specially for that service. The postmaster, or receiving clerk, having re ceived a letter for registry, wiil pass it to the clerk who keeps the account of registered letters sent, who will receipt for it by writing his name or initials across its marginal entry in the recaipt book. Ho will enter it in his account of registered letters sent, and keep it in a secure place of de posit until the hour of mailing. Ho will then make up his letter bill of registered letters, which is to be forwarded in a separate sealed wrapper or eu velope as provided in section 4, addressed to the postmaster at the office to which the corresponding package of registered letters is to bo sent. It aUo be his duty to make up each packago of registered letters, seal the package with wax at the tie, address it to the office of its destination, and see that it is placed in its appropriate bag at the moment when that bag is to be finally locked and sont from the office. 6. On the reoeipt at a distributing office of regiatcred letters for distribution, the clerk who opens and distributes the mail, wilt apply to tho postmaster, or t<J such one of his assistants aa may bu authorizad to open official letters, addressed to him for the corresponding letter bill. Having compared the tetters with the bill, he will indorse it ‘‘cotrecl" if he find it so, or will note the error if there bo one, and will pass it with the letters to tho olork who kce;s the account of registered let. tore received for distribution, who will enter its contents in his account, and indorse upon it his signature or initials. He will then fill up the cor responding return bill, noting upon it whether correct or otherwise, and will pass it to the post master or his principal assistant, who will see that it is returned by the first mail thereafter, with his indorsement, to the office of mailing. Kugiaterod letters mailed at a distributing office for their respective offices of delivery, are to be pass ed from the charge of the clerk who keeps the ac count of rogisiered letters receive into tho charge of the clerk who keeps the account or registered letters sent, (if two are emcloyed in these duties,) who will receipt for them by endorsing tho original letter bill, and afterward dispose of them in the samo manner us provided in aeotion 5 for letters originally mailed in the office. 7. On the receipt of registered letters at the office of delivery, if it boa largo oue, the clerk who opoDB the mail" will apply for i he post bill, and oiheywiso proceed in the sume manner as pre scribed in article 6. The clerk who keeps the ac counts of registered letters received, will, on re ceiving the letter bill, enter its contents in his ac count, make a duplicate thereof on the blank re turn bill which accompanies it, and having endors ed thereon the word ‘•correct,” if it be so, or no ted the error, if there be one, he will pass it to the the postmnstor or his principal assistant, who will enclose it in a sealed envelope, and mail it direct by first mail to tho address of tno postmaster from Vhose office the bill was received. 8. On tho receipt, of registered letters at smaller officees of delivery the postmaster oi his assistant will compare such letters with their letter bill, make a duplicate upon the blank return bill annexed, and will then mark tho return bill correct, or note upon it any error found in the original bill, and enclose it in a sealod wrapper or envolope, and mail it direct by flret mail to the address of the post master at whose office it was originally mailed. 9. When the duplioate letter bill of any regis tered letter or letters is returned from tho office of distribution or delivery to the office wnere it was originally mailed, the fact shall in each case be noted by a check mark on the margin of the ac count ot registered letters sont, opposite the original entry ; and if it be not duly returned, the failure shall in like manner bo noted by a different check mark, and Buch feiluro shall in all large offices bo immediately reported by tbe olork who keeps t)ie account of registered letters sent, to the postmaster or his principal assistant, and each postmaster will give immediate notice to the chief olork of this department of every failure noted in his office. If upen the reoeipt of any duplicate or return letter bill, it be found on examination that a letter originally mailed with it is missing, or that any important error or discrepancy is indorsed on it, tho fact will be duly noted on the account of regis tOrod lottery seat and immediately recorted to the chief clerk of this department, aud if the discre pancy impljos a robbery of tho mail, or if a money letter or package of considerable value is found to be missing, such a report will be made by tele graph If possible. It will also be the duty of the postmaster to re port by telegraph any mail robbery of which he may otherwise rocoivo early information. 10. On tbe delivery of a registered letter at the office of its destination, b receipt therefor will be taken from the person authorized to receive it, end such receipt will be care ully filed and preserved at that office. The blank reeoipts furnished by this department can be used for t£is purpose, but postmasters may adopt any other certain method of verifying the delivery of registered letters. 11. Each postmaster will see tha his accounts of registered letters are legibly and aoeuraoly kept; and at the end of eaoh quarter ho will forward with his quarterly returns full and perfect tran soripts of such accounts, with the letters and bills pertaining to them, retaining tho original accounts in his office for referonee. Jambs Campbell, Postmaster General. Post Offico Department, 10th May, 1866. JisD ot the Cdbak Expkdition.—We find in tl e >Baltimore Sun —corroborated by articles in other papers—tbe following alleged abandonment of th o late reputed Cuban expedition : Ekb ot the Quitman Efpedition.—lt is state 1 that, at a meeting of the Cuban Junta, held at New Orleans on the 29th ultimo, Gen. John A. Quitman handed in his resignation as Comman-u --er-in-Chief of the .expedition which has been to long organized 'against Cuba. All of the Ameri can officers who held commissioners in this Quit man army have also resigned, and the cause of Cuba is now in the hands of the Junta. The authority for this statement is not disclosed, but it is rendered very brobably by the little e» eouragement which has been given to the expect, tiou at homo or abroad. In tho first plaoe, our Executive Government not only showed no tavc r to the Ostend scheme of acquisition, but stili le: s to filibustwo designs on the island, which it for mally denounced and menaced with all the pen alties of the law. lathe next place, the Senate, on the last night of their late session, refused to countenance a repeal of our neutrality laws; and, thirdly, and perhaps not the least discouragement was, that Gen. Conoha had placed tho island in such a state ot defence, a- d was prepared to give any filibustero expedition so warm a receptior, as to render the enterprise as doubtful in its pleasant ness as it* success. With so many discourage ments, therefore, we think it very probable that the statement copied above is true, and that we may consider “ Othello’s occupation” as gone—for tho present at least.—Aa«. Jut. Nmum Qciimxa or Minx.—ln the Medical Convention now in session at Philadelphia, Dr. N. 8. Davis, of Chicago, on Thursday presented a report on tae nutritive qualities of milk, and also on the qnestion whether there is not some mode by which the nutritive constituents of milk can be preserved in their purity and sweetness, and furnished to the inhabitants of cities in such quantities as to supersede the present defective and often unwholesome modes of snppjy. The report says, that when railroads were opened into the interior of the country, it was said that milk would be furnished to residents of qitie6 in the polity that it was found on forms, but a sufficient time had elapsed to demonstrate that suoh is not the case. Tee conveyance oi the milk from the farm to the cars, the transit on the railway, and the time lost in its delivery throughout the city, it was clearly ahowß, had the effect of making it un fit for the nourishment of a child. Daring the past half century experiments had been made with a view of preserving milk fn its pure state, yet it was bnt recently that a discovery had been made by a gentleman in New York, which was to evaporate the water and mix with white sugar, which rendered it what is termed solidified milk. In his practice he had ased this improved milk for the nourishment of infants, with the most grati fying results, and alter caving kept it tor three months; and he knew of its-having been kept twelve months without any injury to its qualities. — Halt. Amrrican. Mb. Wise atfeabs to be preparing himself should he meet with defeat in the coming Virginia election, for that deepest degradation into which the disappointed politician can fail—a merited end unpitied overthrow. His harangues are unparallel ed in the virulent bitterness of their toee and char acter. The most violent and abusive language alone suits his utterance of the estimation m which he holds his opponents. Pretending to be democratic he aails those who take the liberty of thinking differently from him a “ousy,ChristJese, godless set,” “fair specimens of the spawn of blackguardism, Know Notkingiam and rabbleism,’ 1 <te. Such language would disgrace the reeling be sotted habitue of a groggery—ooming from a can didate for the governorship of Virginia, the land heretofore of courtesy and refinement, it ia more than shocking. These ebullitions of bad temDer and worse taste must be regretted by Mr. W lie's friends and oan certainly add nothing to the strength of hw cause. They are rather premoni tions of defeat, and wiU hereafter be restorted upon him by thoee who now applaud as among the causes contributing to his overthrow £ai*. Amtr. The new Mayor ol Cincinnati is rivaling Mayor Wood in the thoroughness with which he is en forcing the law, particularly the Sunday law. The Anti-BUvery residents of Kansas Lave ad dressed a memorial to Congress, giving their ver sion of the recent occurrences in the Territory.— The following are the concluding paragraphs: “We might continue the list of these sickening details until the blood of every freeman would boil with indignation; but it is useless. One more 'instance alone we wilt refer to. In the 18th elec . tion district, where tha population was scarce, and no great amount of foreign votes was needed to overpower it, a detachment from Missouri from sixty to one hundred, passed in with a train of wagons, arms and ammunition, making their camp, the night before the election, near Moores town, the place of the polls, without even a pretext of residence, and returning immediately to Missou ri after their work was done, their leader khd cap tain being a distinguished citixen of Miasouri, but late the presiding officer of the Senate of the United States, who had a bowie knife and revolver belted -around him, apparently ready to shed the blood of any mau who refused to be enslaved. All these facts we are prepared to establish if necessary, by proof that "would be competent iu a court of justice. From a careful examination of the returns, we are satisfied that over three thousand votes were thua cast by the citizens aad re idents of the States snd that a very large portion of the residents were deterred or diacoaraged from going to the polls.— If thi&copdition of tbiugs is allowed to prevail, we are reduced to the state of a vassal province, and are governed by the State of Missouri.” The Platte (Mo.) Argus commenting upon the recent destrnction of the office of the Parkville. Luminary says: We are satisfied that in FarkviUe alone, other abolitionists can be found, who ought to be dealt with—men as destitute of moral principle as Parke -or Patt'.rson. Preachers of the Gospel, who, in stead of teaching the merits of our Saviour, incul cate the lessons of abolitionism. They must be looked to. It is not alone among Northern Meth odist that an abolition preachercan be tonnd—and herein we admire the spirit of our resolutions to investigate the conduct and teachings of ail, whether Mithodist, Presbyterian or any other re ligions denomination. We shall have occasion hereafter to point oat other traitors in Parkvillee, as well as Borne nearer home. We shall keep up the ball until it rolls to Jackson and Hole, and even to St. Louia county, sweeping into rivers and brazing bonfire the abo litiomsm of the Inquirer, Messenger, Democrat, Intelligencer, and others of the same Btripe. For this consummation we devoutly pray—for it we are determined to fight until their colors strike, or their presses are annihilated. We urge all to go to Parkville on Saturday next. It will be an eventful day, and we hope all will turn out. We want it done calmly and deliber ately. If Parke demands a trial give it to him bat let it be summary. Let it be joßt and impartial, and let the verdict bo upheld. The Kansas Herald of Freedom puts forth the following warningto all persons who maybe dis posed to re-enact the scenes at Parkville, which resulted in the destruction of the Luminary press: It was said by the rioters in Parkville, on Satur day, that the destruction of the Luminary office was designed as an example to bthers, and it is very knowingly hinted that onrs will meet with a similar fate. Very well, we have coneludod to give any number of perso s wbo wish to perpetrate suoh an act of folly, a freo pass to “kingdom come,” and we pledge them every assistance in our power. Probably many of them never took au upward journey, and would like to try the ex periment of sailing on a blaze of glory, such as a couple of kegs of gunpowder, exploded at an op portune occasion, would furnish. We have not a member in our fanflly, ourself included, who would not deem a transit into the fnturo life with compagnons de voyage, of a goodly number of printing press destroyers, as a favor rarely to be met with. Should the Herald of Freedom office at any time be invaded for the purpose of destruction, we give this timely warn ing to all, both friend and foe, that unle-s they wish to “go up” they had better keep aloof from its immediate vicinity, for our purpose is fixed, and the consequences esnuot be prevented. We have prepared a duplicate copy of our sub scription books, and that subscribers may not be losers by any contingency which may arise, we horeby authorize and deputize our eeteomod friend and general agent, H. A. Billings, to resume the publication of the Herald of Freedom, should it bo suspended by violence, at suoh point as he may designate, and we further donate to him our entire effects in Kansas Pennsylvania, or elsewhero, to prosecute the publication of euch paper, with this one condition, that he shall give the advocates of slavery partioular “ Josse” during the balance of his life.” The St. Louis Intelligencer publishes extracts from the press in all parts of Missouri, which condemn in the strongest terms the destruction of the industrial Luminary by a mob. The St. Louis Republican of Thi rsday last, states that on the day previous, Mr. Parke, one of the editors of the Luminary, called at that office, and adds: Mr. Parke is the owner of slaves—has grown np in Missouri, and acquired wealth, and we sbonld not suppose from bis appearance and character, that be would make himself obnoxious to any olass of people. We do not protend to say what his partnor in the publication of tho paper (Mr. Patterson) may be, but we do not think Mr. Pnrko onght to call down the indignation of any set of men. However all this may turn ont Mr. Parke has acted as n prudent man in retiring from the scene of tho late troubles, instead of attempting to resist them. While on this subject, it may be as well to cor rect a story which has been started, to tho effect that Mr. Parke waß lynched by a party in Kansas Territory, just before he loft lor this city. No thing of the kind happened. $0 attempt was made to commit this outrage upon him, and we hope tho abolitionists, when speaking of these things, will o nit this enormity. Texas Items. By the Charles Morgan at New Orleans. By this srrival we have Austin and San Antenio papers to the sth in-t., Galveston to the 10th. The Austin State Gazette announces the Hon. P. H. BoH ns a candidate for re election to Congress from the Western District. The Tcxub Prosbytery of Cumberland Prosby terians have adopted a rosslution that they will oontend uncompromisingly for “legal prohibition of the liquor traffic.” Tho CityjConncil of Galveston has pasted an ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor on Sun days. Tho ordinance takes effect to day. Tho Galveston Nows of Tnseday last, gives the following acoounl of the narrow escape of the steamship Charles Morgan from destruction by fire on her last trip from this port just before her ar rival off Gal veston bar: Tho fire broke out near the cook’s stove, bnt was afterwards discovered in the holds of the steamer. Somo four feet square of her deck had to bo cut away in order to get at the flames, when they were finally extinguished after some fifteen or twenty minutes of well directed efforts on the part of the captain and others. Although an accident of this kind is well calculated to strike terror into the stoutest hearts, threatening all with the most ter rible death that can well be conceived, yet we un derstand there was no undue excitement among the passengers and crew. Capt. Lawless ia highly complimented for the coolness and self possession with which he gave his orders, until all danger dis appeared. The fire toek place on Friday evening, about six or eight hours before the steamer arrived at our bar, which was about 10 o’clock on Friday night. The Galveston Nows is informed that Sea Island cotton is successfully cultivated in several parts of tha State, and that there is a general disposition at various places, from Gonzales to tho Gulf, to go into the cultivation of this description of cotton. Not less than one thousand acres, tho News is in formed, will this year be cultivated in this cotton in Wostern Texas. We have the welcome intelligence by this ar rival that copious and refreshing rains have fallen in several parts of Texas. Chicago, May 14.—The Baptist Homo Mission Convention me*, hero this morning. Dr. Cone was elected President. The attendance was very large. There were delegates Irom thirteen States. The report of the Provisional Committee was adopted, and the Committee continued until the Society re move from Nassau street to the Bible House.— Resolutions were passed unanimously approving of the course of the Committee and minority of the Home Mission Board, and strongly condemn ing thogriajority, and directing the convention to organize a new society, and pledging tbe conven tion’s co-operation with the committee appointed last woek in Brooklyn. A groat conciliation meeting was held this after noon, Dr. Armitago presiding, and all presont pledging themselves to harmony and co operation. Boiton, May 14.—There was considerable cob fu sion and excitement in the House of Representa tives this afternoon, from the fact, that Mr. Hiss, th§ expelled member, twice resumed bis vacant seat, and was each time removed by the Sergeanb at Arms, at the order of the House, passed nearly unanimoualy. It is presumed that Hiss acted in this singular manner at the advice of his counsel, B. F. Butler and BeDj. Dean, who had published an address denouncing the expulsion of Mr. Hits as an arbitrary exercise of power; and intimating that the House feared important developments to be made in the case. New Y'o&k, May 14.—Ths weekly statement of onr city banks shows the following totals : Loans $91,642,500, a decrease of $1,450,750; Spocie $14,606,600, an increase of $260,550; Circulation $7,505,000, a decrease of $282,650; Deposits $75,- 850,600, a decrease of $2,861,850. New Obleanb, May I*.—The Northern Light left on the nigh] of tha irii fox Bew York with 850 passengers snd SOOO,OOO in specie. The revolution in N icaragna has received fresh impetus by ths secession of Gen. Murrose. Two rich oopper mines have been discovered at Costa. Cincinnati, May 15, noon.—Ths river has fallen 6 inches.

Denmaxe and thi Uniteo States.— Dates from Copenhagen to the 19th April, state that on the 12th inst., the charge d’affairs ot the United States, Col. Bsdinger, had an official interview with the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which he delivered the formal notice f onr Government of the cessation of the treaty of the 26th April, 1826, between the two countries, after the lapse es the term stipulated in the treaty, (twelve months) ex pressing himself at ths sgms time with his usual energy of character, and wth a force of language which the American diplomatists so well know how to adopt when they wish thgir near era to know that they arq in eareest, and will not suffer themselves or their country to be trifled with.— Bad. Amer. The Danish Sound Dues.— On the opening of the Prussian Chambers after the late Faster recess, the report of the committee ©a the proposal for the abolition of the Sound dues, was the order us the day. The original motion was, “That the Second Chamber expresses its ccnviution that the Government will .aka the first favorable oppor tunity for total abolition of the Sound dues.” A fresh motion in the shape of an amendment, was worded thus: “This Chamber expresses its opin ion, that the present situation of public affairs is peculiarly adapted for taking decisive steps to ward the abolition of the Sound Dues.” The debate being closed, a division took place. The amendment was rejected, and the original motion passed by a large majority.— Bali. Amer. Vkttußs to New York hereafter will have to de bar themselves the pleasure of frequenting what has heretofore been one of the greatest attractions of the city—the Battery. Castle Garden has been leased by the Commissioners of Emigration and will shortly become the great depot of the Immi grants landed at that port, and from which, re - dolent with the misery, destitution, filth and disease of the holds of immigrant ships, they will invade the Battery in thousand! and dnve from it ail who are not desirous of coming in contact with such unpleasant company. It will be a wonder if the people of New York quietly submit to each a desecration of their choicest promensde, one which hss gained a national reputation and ia the earliest resort of strangers. — Bad. Amer. The Cambridge Trotting Park, near Boston, hsa been divided into one hand red and sixty-three houa# lots, and will be sold at auction. AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1855. California Items. The Alta California of the 17th, in its summary, furnishes the following intelligence : Daring the past week we have had frequent and heavy rains, carrying rejoicing to the miner, the farmer and the ranebero. The “ dry season” is approaching, and we can expect but a very few rainy days before next winter. Probably more than an average quantity of rain has fallen the past season. The mountain streams are all fall, and from the mining region we hear no complaints of a w#Lt of water. An overstocked market contributes to a depre ciation of all description of merchandise. During the psst week the following named clipper ships have arrived at this port; The Tornado, Sunny South, Sea Nymph, Morning Light, Charming, Manlius, Flying Arrow, Water Witch and West ern Comment frexn New York; the Telegraph, Charmer, Saracen, Reindeer, Beaton L’ght and Golden City, lrom Boston ; and the Greenwich and Sparkling Wave, from Philadelphia; seven teen ships, and all heavily laden with goods. Os coarse a large loss must result to the shippers, but there will be a proportional gain to the oonsunaers ; and there is scarcely an article, certainly none of the necessaries of life, that cannot be purchased here as cheaply as in- any of the Eastern markets. There is a complaint of dull limes and a tight ness of money ; failures of mercantile houses and reafestate owners are noted ; two of them among persons who have recently ranked with the wealth iest in the Stafo. The mines aie yielding largely, and every day brings reports of new discoveries. Mining is by far the best business‘in California. It is the safest and promises the surest return. Mechanics and olerks, who in times past have been intent ©n fol lowing their professions in San Francisco and other cities, are now flocking to the mines to try their fortunes at gold diggings. The steamer whiohsailß to-day will take more treasure than hat been shipped byaDy Bteamer sinoe the bank faßuro. A considerable sum goes in the shape of fnight money, earned by tho dip pers recently arrived. - Tho O.'-S. Land Commission is making sure pro gross in th» ssttlenant of land titles: Judge Felch has been caned to Washington; and the other Commissioner, Messrs. Thompson and Farwell, are devoting their entire attention to the business of the Board* -There con be no doubt that within the yagr every title in tho Btato will be adjudwotarf. Both branches of the Legislature have fixed upon the BUth instant as the tune for adjournment. There have been some rumors recently touching a revival of the Senatorial question, bnt it is not very probable that this vexed matter can be brought up again this session. The Legislature has passed au anti-gambling law. It is very stringent in its E revisions, and must effectually close all the gam ling houses in the State. Mr. Doafias’ bill for div ding California into three Stites—Shasta, Calif ornia and Colorado—is in the hards of a com mittee; but division cannot take place this year. The recent decision in the case of "ho Mariposa and Ritchie cases, by the Supreme Court of the Uuited Siates, has produced n feelingof rojoicing amou& the land claimants. Thoy fcol now that, sooner or later, justice will be doue tuem. The newe from Kern River is of thi same nature as tho accounts received last week. I’ho diggings are by no means bo rich a3 at first represented to bo. That mysterious personage, “Sam,’ is around in these parte. In San Jose, last week, his favorite candidates fir c'rty officers were defeated by the “Indpondents," a fusion of all factions. In other parts of the State he lias been more successful. Brunches of “Freedom’s Phalanx” aave been organized in different section of the Stifle. This is a secret organization, designed to operate against tho Know Nothings. Tho Treasurer of the State last week redeemed 18500 of the State bonds at par. Tlia Treasurer has $50,000 te be applied to the redemption ot tbe 7 per cent, bonds, but as he can got no bonds here he will advertise in the East for bids. Major Robert Barnard, U. S. Egineers, died at Los Angeles on tbe Othimtant. His remains were brought to San Francisco Cor interment. About two hundred men are at work at the Navy Yard, at Mare Island. Laborers’ wages $8 per day; mechanics’, $5 to $0 per day. Tho brig Vesta, with Col. William Walker and about one hundred and fifty of his followers, was to have sailed yesterday lor Nicaragua. Colonol Walker has roceivod a grant of land in that coun try, and goes to “colonise” it. [So it appoars Col. Walker und his party did not sail on March 81, as was reported by the San Francisco Sun.] The San Francisco Herald says that rents of ail kinds of buildings have fallen more than one half within the laßt six or eight mouths, and many eligible houses and stores may be seen placarded “To Let.” The clipper ship Spitfire, which sailed from San Francisco on the 16111 ult. for China, carried up wards of one hundred and fifty Chinese passengers. Major Barnard, wheso death at Los Angeles, is noticed above, was a native of New York. His disease was liemmorago of the lungs. The Sacramento Tribune, of April 14, says : It is proposed to establish a Know Nothing or gan at San Francisco upon the adjournment of tho Legislature. It is said a large fund has been raised for tho object, and that several well knowu writers will be oditorially connected with it. The design is to make it a campaign paper, only to continue until the fall election. Laver vkom the Isthmus or Panama. —The As pinwuli Courier says that thougn there have boen very frequent and nnnsually severe rains tbe rail road is in excellent condition. A severe shock of an earthquake was felt in Aspinwall at about 9-49 P. M., on tho 25th of April. The Courier sayß: A severo shock of an earthquake was felt in this city about 940 p. m., on the 25th. It ran from South to North, and the vibrations lasted for more than half a minute, shaking all tho buildings in itß range severely. It appears to have affected an aroa of not more than a milo in width, to much ex tent, and to have traversed the entire transit of the Isthmus quite generally. It was felt very per ceptibly in Panama, and all along tho lino of the Railroad.

The Keen Riveb Mines. —Since our last issue, says the San Diego Herald, a number of citizens have returned from tne newly discovered mines, and all confirm the information wo have heretofore givon of the fact of gold being found. A majori ty of those who have returned are so well satisfied with what they have seen, that they are fitting themselves out with the necessary mining imple ments and provisions, and intend immediately re turning. A few others who woro not so well sat isfied in regard to the productiveness of tho mines at tbe point now worked, are still so sanguine that rich placers are to bo fonnd in the same range of mountains, but further south, that they fitted ont with a month’s provisions and started out on Tuesday, 27th March, for tho eurpose of thor oughly prospecting tho range of mountains as far sonth as the State fine. Several men came in from the newly discovered gold mines on yesterday, April 4th. Thoy report that those at work aro barely making day wages. A parly of two mon, by hard work, took out forty dollars in ten days. i'he following is from the Los Angelos Star of tbe 14th inst., which is the latest dale receive by the America: Several persons have recently arrived from the Korn River mines, and some of them will return after tarnishing themselves with the requisite ne cessaries. Ono of our acquaintance says some of tho claims, whiob, at the beginning, prospect very rich, have entirely given out, and others are im proving in richness. Ho informs us that Mr. Cal houn lias a fine claim, paying $8 to tbe man per day. Mr. Palmer has another, from which he is realizing $lO per day; and Mr. Moore from $5 to $S por day to the man. Many others aro paying well to those who work. Two, or oven one dollar per day is far bettor employment than to come bock hero and leaf around cmr grog shops. The shoulder strikers that mado themselves so conspi cuous on the first rush to the diggings have noarly all left for parts unknown. Mr. Horefold left this week with a large stock of goods for hig stores in the mines, which fact proves tbe fallacy of the re port of there being no gold in that region. Mobe Gold Dbcotehiib Retorted. —ln the val ley of the Tehaehepy, says the Southern Cali fornian, some distance this side of Kern River, parties have lately prospected, aud find gold in abundance throughout it* entire extent, some twenty miles is length by from five to ten ia breadth. As we are informed, no one locality ap pears to be richer than another; bnt the whole ex tent of the valley seems to be impregnated with the precious metals. Whether this will prove to boa mere superficial affair, that will eke ont and exhaust itself, remains to be seen. Os tbe fact that gold has been found that pays twenty five cents to the pan, and that, too, not alone in some one favored Bpot, but everywhere that an examina tion has been made, admits of bo donbt. Should this valley prove to bo ae rich as anticipated, it will become one of the most attractive portions of the miniug regions, as it is now on account of Re great natural fertility of soil, <Scc. Those who have visited tho volley universally describe it as superior to any tract of country they oversaw, completely shut in by majestic moun tains, covered by a luxuriant growth of the finest bunch grass, which in the month of January was over two feet high, and watered by streams of the purest water; affording unsurpassed attractions to settlers, many of whom have already established themselves and are making improvements with the design of permanently remaining there. The Gadsden Purchase.— By the gentleman just arrived, says the Southern Californian, from the Gadsden Purchase, we have received information ot tha party who left here some months since un der the direction of Mr. Sackett, formely of this eity, for the purpose of taking possession of a rumored silver mine situated within the new tcr titory. The mine or mines -civa been known as the PieDchcs do Plata. It will be recollected that OR their way the party made discovery of a very rich copper and gold mine, some hundred miles the other eide of the Colorado, aad a portion of tbe expedition with Mr. Sackett ram anted, while the balance went to the aii.ar mine. The gentleman above referred to, has been residing for a year past in the vicinity of these mines, having pni cea sed and stocked a ranch, which had been tormerly destroyed and deserted in consequence of the hoe tillty of the Apaches. He says that the silver mine is a failure ; extensive explorations have been made and numerous shafts discovered, showing that formerly mining bad been carried on to a great extent, bnt have been long since deserted.— Silver undoubtedly exists, but not in sufficient quantities to make it JncratWe, at the present time especially, when every difficulty has tp beenconn tered-in the way of hostile oavages, scarcity and great expense of obtaing the necessaries of life, want of adequate msans of trensporation, etc. Af ter a snort stay, therefore, the party retracted tbeir steps to the copper mine. This onr informant represents to be very rich and valuable.

The following account of the disaster to the ship Golden Age we tin ! in the Panama Star, from Al len McLann, who was on board : A little after midnight of the 28th of April, we passed the Is'and of Montircso?, the sea perfectly smooth, and a good mpon; from thence Capt. Wat kins steered direct tor the passage b tween the Is land of Quibo and Qaicara, inclining to the shore of the latter, in order to keep clear of dangers (sunken rocks) laying towards the shore of the other named isiand. At about 2A.M. of the 29th, the ship going over the ground at the rate of 14 miles per hour, pointed out for the passage and apparently clear of the reef off Quic -ra, as laid down upon the captain’s chart, she struck full and fair. The captain was on dock himself (speaking with Mr. As pm wall.) as indeed he had been ail night, and doing all a skiltul and prudent navigator could to guide his ship in safety. The sea was calm and smooth, without any appearance or indication of hidden danger—instantly upon striking, an immense volume of water rushed into her forward—the pumps were all put in immediate requisititm, boats cleared away, &c. In five min utes the Engineer reported the water rising with great rapidity, utterly beyond all efforts of the pumps. At this time wo had fifteen feet forward and seventeen fathoms after and amid ships. The Cap tain’s fisst intent on of landing his passengers in stanly, was frustrated by the rapidity of the rise of the water in the hold and her settling aft, from the depth of the water amidship and aft, whioh circumstance rendered it imperative to drive full length on thereof. At this instant Bhe rollod hea vily, and her bow fell off the reef or rock. Having a good head ot steam, Watkins determined to run on a little further for the main reef, which he knew lay a short distanco ahead; upon starting, she rollod heav ly, from side to side, and streered wildly, coming to too much, and striking a second time. He backed her off, keeping her stem cloar, and egain went ahead, running along the reef, de laying his purpose of beaching her so long as ho had steam to force her ahead until ho should find a ■pot offering the best chance of saviug his passen gers—of course, time flew, aud thus passed anoth er five miuutes, the water up to the furnaces of the port boilers and above those of the starboard one —all the fin>s of the latter out. Shj still had steam in the boilers; the engineers and firemen up to thetr necks in water iu the fire room. A few hundred yards ahead we could make out a small cove, beyond the point of the island, bight ed apparently with a sand bank. The steamer still went ou nndor command of her holm, the water gaining on the pumps, bailing, &c. An other five minutes, ana the balance of the fires were out. W e had about a hundred yards yet to go to our cove, which we were now nearly abreast of. The captain put his holm hard a port and headed right on the beach. Tne water along the aide con tinned deep, and the engine turned over very slowly. On wo wont, sounding tea fathoms, six fathoms, and finally she stopped, her bow within thirty feet of the shore ; but so slow was her move ment that no one felt the stop. We had 17 feet all round ; the boilers only had steam enough left to make some two or three revolutions. Alter our first leeling of gratitude to Almighty God for our deliverance from a sudden and tearful danger from the Arctic’s fate—we paid tribute in admiration to Watkin’s for his admirable coolness, presence of mind, and great efficiency, quick thought and prompt action I I cauuot omit to mention the perfect behavior of tho passengers in all respects. The discipline quietly Dutcff;ctly maintained from tho tiist mo ment of peril, with tho prompt measures taken, inspired gene al confidence. No apparent alarm, no rush, no noise—all stood ready to obey orders, and moved and acted as directed. Tho women were the truest of the true, and set an example worthy to be remembered and followed. Another account of it says; A crash ensued, and the steamer stood still. A silence followed for a moment, tending to inspire the mind with awe, each whispering to a neighbor, “What Is it?” “What has happened?” Rush ing tumultously on dock, it soon became too evi dent to ns all what was tho matter. Tne noble steamer was aground in about twelve feet, with the deep water’of the mid channel uuder her stern post, her forefoot knocked away, stem broomed and the water coming in ra idly—steam roaring through the escape pipe, and the beam at 45 de grees, (the engine being on its centro.) All this required but a few moments for its full compre hension, for the people generally wore pretty cool, and discipline prevailed. “Beach her as quick as God will let you,” said Captain Tyler to tne commander, who saw from the quantity of water in tho fire room, to Fay noth ing of tho smell of gas produced by the water en tering the furnaces, that the leak was a very sori ous one. The weight of tho water found i:s way to the after hold, owing to tho inclination of tho keel, and buoyed her bows from tho rock, by rea son of which she came gently off, and, ioiling heu vily, shifted the immenso bulk of passengers from side to side ou the hurricane deck. A turn back cleared her off the reef. A turn ahead and she struck again, being slow to answer her helm now. She struck tremendously, as though tho swell set from uuder her, aud so let her down upon tho rocks—she carooued badiy, and took in water on her starboard guard. Onco more the passengers on dock shifted sides with the shock, and this time there wont up a shriek as though the last mom .nt had come. Onco more a revolution back, onco more a bell to go ahead, and she swept gently by tho hidden dan ger—fires all out, and out littlj steam, and Bank in still water, near a smooth, Bandy beach. Manv of the ladies now begged to bo lauded, but theirj roars wore soon quelled, and all remained quietly on board till the J.L. Stephens came along and took us to Panama, only two days after. Tho Golden Age, it is supposed, would be saved in a damaged condition. From the Phrenological Magazine. The Lite ot a Glsutese. Mias Sylvia Hardy, the lady now being exhibited at Barnum’s American Museum as the “Maine Giantess,” ia a woman of peculiar and remarkable characteristics. Iu birth and descent, she is thoroughly American. She was born in 1825, iu tho village of Wilton, Frauklin county, State of Maine. Her father, who died at 66, and before slm wbh six years old, was born in the same village.— Her mother, who still lives, aud is now 57, was born in Falmouth, Maine. Her grandmother was born in the same town. Her grandfather was born in Martha’B Vineyard, Mass. Miss Hardy was, at birth, one of tho smallest of infants. Dr. Barton, of Wilton, who attended her mother at tho time, ÜBed to remark that he bad never seen anything, oven of tho twin kind, so diminutive. Her twin brother diod at a very early age. Both togother only weighed, wo aro assured, thtoo and a half pounds. Miss Hardy remained a child of very ordinary size until she was twelve years of Bge, when she suddenly took to growing with a rapidity that alarmod her friends, and startled all h r acquaint ances. As she had five sisters, ono of whom was older thau herself, and all wore below than above the common statute of the sex, her growth was the more surprising. At thirteen Miss Hardy was tall. At fourteen, Bbe was a novelty. At fff een, Bho was a wonder. She increased in this extraordinary manner until she attained her twenty first yoar, whon sho re mained stationary for about four years. During this period of rapid growth, it was impossible to make her clothing fit her with anything like com mou accuracy, She seemed to alter each day. She p' obably altered each week. The dress that became her ono month was there fore useless the next: and thus, for nine years, it was neoosssry to make all her apparel with super fluous tucks find folds, in ordor to accommodate them to her condition. One effect ot this elongating process was, of course, oonstaht ill hoalth. She was excessively thin, and could not, under the circumstances, bo come any stouter. She wse so weak as to be almost unable to stand. Her bones could not strengthen in substance suf ficiently fast for their continued expansion, and so grew painfully brittle. In attempting to walk, therefore, one day, she fell to tho ground and frac tured a leg seriously. Nature, however, in the celerity of her physical developments, soon reme died tho evil, and thus tho cause subsequently aided in tho cure. Miss Hardy is now about *0 years of age. She has grown about Beven inches since she was twen ty-one, and is nearly eight feet high at the present mernent. She weighs three hundred and forty six pounds, is massively proportioned, robust, mat ronly in her appearance, symmetrical in figure, bat inclined to stoop, (as most tall people are,) a habit acquired in her native village, where her gi gantic height subjected her to a sorutiuy on the part ol strangers, most annoying to her bashful nature. HeFfeatures are large. The expression of her faoe, if not handsome, is amiable ; her disposition ia mild and gc-n lo to a pleasing degree. Her movements are easy and graoefui, although, hav ing never before left her village home, she is as yet nnsophistica'ed in fashinable ways, and moves and acts with a timidity that a littlo more acqu iutar.ee with public life will readily remove. The Rev. Wm. Badger, of Wilton, Dr. Barkor, Dr. Pea lee, Columbus Gray, Esq., attorney ot law, of the same place, indeed nearly all of tho re spectable portion of the population of Wilton and East Wiitoft, knew Miss Hardy well, and speak of her moral character in terms of the highest regard. She certainly Is one of the most wonderful natural phenomena of the age.

The waters suddenly rose about three feet five inches and remained at that height six or seven minutes, then subsided, and after a brief interval, again rose two feet snd then fell to its original icrel. It is stated that while rising like a huge wave, the water turned up two old wrecks of boats near the pier, which were com pletely imbedded in mud. In tbe reflux an old boat t'jmsd up near the pier, which no one aver remembered having seen. An old fisherman said he had lived beside the Cayuga fifty years, and he never knew it to out such tantrums before. Gold Mines In Arkansas. —The Warsaw (Mo.)

Tho city of Columbus is already foreshadowed as the point of distribution for the commerco of the Gulf, and this road in reaching this point, pifsses over no preoccupied territory, and wii l in terfere, with the niaki.g and earnings of no rival lino. Passing over a largo and fertile scope of country, containing a large and rich population, it will content itself with tho earnings and emolu ments dorivablo from its own immediate sphere of action; and dividing with other lines of road tho commerce of the Gulf, it will not fail to attract tho consideration of the capitalists;—it will not foil to yield as profitable and remunerating roturns as that of any road now traversing the State. The gloat mail must pass over this road. Wo say tho great mail must pass over this road, be cause the rulo regulating the transmission of the mail to and from important commercial points, requires tho selection of the nearest and most ex peditious lino of route. It is upon this principle that Savannah, since tho completion of the Opelika road, may reasonably claim tho transportation. For the Georgia Railroad to expect to rotain tho service, whilst it remains at so great a distance from Columbus, is Utopian in tho extreme. And so it is with everything else, for as long as man retains his reason and properly considers commer cial tconomy, so long will lio seek the nearest mar ket and that by tho shortest route. The conside ration of time and expense, will evor exact from him a constant adherence to this powerful and oontroling motive. The city of Columbus, as woll as the sovoral counties, (already designated) lying on the lino of this contemplated road, should bo very active in promoting and securing the consummation of an ontorprize, to thorn of vast import. The peoplo, along the lino of tho road, must not forget that the Mobile and Girard railroad will soon be completed to Columbus, for necessity, exacting necessity, requires its speedy construction. Says tho “Mont gomery Mail“ That in consequence of tho want of transportation, there is no doubt there has boon, and will bo, a dead loss in that citv of at least five dollars a bale, on thirty thousand bales of cotton.” Andsuporadding to this intelligence, “The Mobile Tribune estimates the entire loss for the season, on the whole cotton crop for the State, from the ina bility of planters to get their orops to market at two millions of dollars.” To moot theu this im mense trade, that must bo carried by this Great Road, thopoople of the designated countios should have their road at Columbus ready to receive it. Would you have a market tor tho productions of yonr toil and labor 7 Would you have brought to your vory doors a rich and varied commerce?— then hasten with ns to raise the means which shall secure a result so desirable. We do not know that Columbus is required to patronize any siDgle road to tho exclusion of others. All will influence her destiny, and to each she should oxtend the ready and helping hand. Sho cannot remain a passive spectator. She can behold all the approaches wit i a single and undivided interest. Her prosperity in these approaches is collective, and does not depend on any single one. All roads which expect to protit by tho commerce of the Golf, mus- approach Columbus. This is the point of distribntion; there is none other ; it is her destiny, every road approaohing her, (and many must,) are but so many instrumentalitOß, which shall tell her future story, maguifloence and wealth. Her location is now and ever will bo her destiny. Her bright and happy fntnre is not to be predicated on present achievements, on existing developments. Sho is destined to rooeive upward and onward strength from causes which lie in her and about her; and of which all tho past is but a faint foreshadowing. Savannah, with a prndonoe and foresight emi nently her own, lost no time in preparation, in making a connection with Columbus; sho is now there ; she has passed it; sho is at Opelika. Is the trade of Now Orleans to bo secured by the Montgomery and West Point Railroad? Savannah is at Opelika. Is the trade of New Orleans to be secured by tho Girard and Mobile Railroad ? Savannah is at Cotumbu-, and sho is there, too, without competition—with only a distance of two hundrod and ninety-ono miles, from whero the turbulent wave lashes the frottod shoro to the gushing murmurs of Chattuhoochee’s sparkling wa'ers. Savannah is at Columbus, now ready to link on with the groat Mobile and Girard Railroud, to roceivo its rich and varied freights—and spaed it on to fur and distant points. And where is Charleston and Augusta ? Do they expect to divide with Savannah tho trade of Now Orleans, and tho Commerce of the Gulf? If bo, they must approach Columbus by a a«ui and nearer route, they must overcame some and not small inequalities, in distance. And this distance must be annihilated, else all thoughts of compe tition abandoned. Let us bo accurals in a muttor so grave, trom Savannah to Columbus is two hundrod and ninety-one miles. From Charleston to Columbus, by Opelika, (and her only route,) is four hundred and forty seven miles, a distance in favor of Savannah and aguiußt Charleston, of one hundred and fifty six miles. From Augusta to Columbus, by Opelika, (and her only routo,) is three hundred niid eleven miles, a distance m ta vor of Savannah and against Augusta of twonly ono miles. Tho distance from Covington to Co lumbus by Opelika, (the only route,) is one hun dred and eighty one miles. The proposed road from Covington to Columbus, passing through the counties of Newton, Henry, Spalding, Pike, Meri wether, Harris and Muscogoe, will not exceed hundred miles. Charleston, Augusta j,nd Coving ton, approaohing Columbus by this now route, save eacketghty one mile;, distance sufficient to con struct throe very railroads. Charleston is ner.ror Columbus by seventy-five miles. Au gusta is nearer Columbus by »lxty-one miles. Thus, instead of being behind Savannah, twonty ono miles, in her approach to Columbus, she is in advance of Savannah sixty one miles, a considera tion, to August a, of vital importance. Covington in her approach to Columbus, by this new way, actually absorbs distance itself saving eighty one miles, in a run of one hundrod and eighty-one miles. In ear estimate, wo boldly throw the glove, and say, if here is error, detect ft, expose it, Augusta will look in vain for a more favorable point than Covington, as the starting point of this r.ew enterprise. For if we preserve the true prin ciple in Kuginooring, that wo must take the short est practicable routo, between any two specified points; if the character of the country through which this road will pass, its capability end fitness to sustain a road, its being the nearest—an air line-direotion, between the points named, should somewhat g aide us in a transaction so grave and serious; then I say, that Covington alono, is indi cated as the starting point. And this now enterprise will yet do more for the pubhe interest, it will summon into new and active life, the slumbering energies of some who only sleep, because, just now, it is their policy. Did Savannah and the Central Railroad in eighteen hundred and fifty-three, expend Mte sum of four thousand dollars, on the sutvoy of the North Ala bama and South Atlantic Railroad, merely for the purpose of being a-doing? Did sho moreiy sur vey that portion of it between Griffin and Now- I nan, to announce the barren facts, that this linked the road would measure ta rty six milee and a fraction ? Did she never exp.c! to respond to tho claims and demands of the people of North-west ern Goorgia and North Alabama? The mercan tile Interest of Nownan, the people of Coweta and Carrol aro anxious for this connection; they wish to identify their interest with Savannah, and in a fem mure turnings of the sands in the glass of Time, the hour will have come. Hut it is the pol icy of Savannah, just now, to slumber,—sho is at Columbus, —she is there alono in her glory—with out a competitor. And whilst undisturbed, she will remain so, in a state of indefinite repose. But let this new enterprise bo commenced, certify to the world that the new road from Covington to Co lumbus will be built, and you will have aroused ! tho lion in bis lair, and not only will the connec tion bo speedily made, between Griffin and New nan, but Savannah will tup the new road at Cov ington, by the extension of the Eatonton Railroad, and from the connection reap a glorious harvest. And where is Charleston and Augusta? stave they abandoned all further competition lor this trade? Have they, will they apprca.fi Columbus, the point of distribution ? Is Charleston at Colum - bus ? Docs she stand on an equality with Savan nah at this moment ( Why, Savannah is nearer Alabama’s Capitol than Charleston is to Columbus. Char'resson eannot so easily break company with her ancient rival, resign all, let go the last plank that would save hs? gallant bark, and confess, no longer ability to buffet the waves of competition. Come, there is no time for delay, we must speak cow, act now, or not at all; Columbus still stands on the banks of the Chattahoochee, tha Mobile and Girard Railroad will soon be there,—say, Charles ton and Augusta, will you bo ihere too 7 We have ever been the friends of widely consid ered railway*; no farther speculation of their utility is nc-w needed ; they have become Jiwed facte.
