The Pulaski (Son#.
Oh 1 mystic sound I what joy to dwell,
Where wo may hear thee sweep along ;
What vesper toll or matin bell,
E’er touched a chord like thee, sweet gong?
Though Summer's sun renew each leaf,
And birds come forth with merry song,
How sweeter is the note—though brief—
That rings from thee, PulaBki gong!
And Winter, too, with piercing blast,
May wreath the earth with cheerless snow;
Or Eastern storms fall thick and fast.
And summer’s sun no longer glow ;
Yet sweeter than o’er Zephy fell,
Seems Borens, dashing wildly on,
Who, to my senses brings the spell,
That rings from thee, thou dulcet gong!
No lover, wandering from his nest,
No mariner, storm-tossed at sen,
E’er felt sn hour more truly blest,
Than that which brings tby song to me,
Delightful, gastronomic lyre!
What fancies with thy echo throng!
Ah ! what can quell the bosom's fire,
Like thy sweet voice, Pulaski gong.

A Mountain of Gold.
Tho Pacific News of April 29 has a very singular
article in relation to an alleged discovery of a moun
tain composed entirely of gold and silver. The first
mention made of this ’most marvellous ol nature s
productions, was in a letter written to the N. Y. Com
mercial Advertiser, which at the time was thought to
bo a clever parody on the wonderful accounts from
California. Subsequently a party of emigrants, fit
ting out for a spot about sixty miles east of Pueblo
de los Angeles, having heard of tho existence cf vast
quantities of gold in another direction, changed their
destination. We continue with tho relation given by
the News :
The route lay in a northeast direction from the
nlace of departure, and full of difficulties. Striking
the Mahahve river, they followed its course some dis-
tance. crossing and recroasing as necessity compell
ed some days ns often as tilteen times, leaving it
where it makes a bend to the southeast, toward the
Colorado, into which it empties. Obstacles were en
countered at various parts of the journey almost in
surmountable, in the shape of mountains of rock
which they had to climb, and mountains of enow
which they could not avoid ; narrow gorges through
which they had to pass, and still narrower cliffs along
whose crests nothing but a mule could pass with a
prospect of safety, and where the slightest mis-step
would land rider and all hundreds of teet below ; but
they pushed on about 230 miles from the Pueblo, the
point for which they started. Here, among the eas
tern spurs of the Sierra Nevada, they found the object
of their search—gold—and silver too ; and in such
quantities as they had not dreamed of—a perfect
mountain of rocks with silver and gold mingled and
commingled in solid masses, weighing from one to
many tons. The quartz proved to be exceedingly
harm to such a degree that, during their short stay,
all their implements, made for this particular purpose |
before starting, were completely worn out in the op
eration of drilling and blasting.
The strangest part of the whole discovery 19 yet to
be told. These large boulders of gold, silver and
quartz have the gold in the south end and the silver in
tue north end. No exceptions werefoundin tlieirex-
amination. the silver being the moat abundnnt of the
two. In the words of the person who was on the
-wot. “there is enough silver there to sink every ship
:ia this harbor." .
Phsaibly some may look upon this account as a jest,
and. SO'ftu-as the practicability of putting the discov
ery to any use at present is concerned, it is so. All
the water to be found for miles and miles around is
highly impregnated with salt or salieratus, or both.
Not asin-dedrop of water free from one or the other of
these properties did one of the party obtain during
the ten days of their stay. The whole region is a per
fect waste, and disease and death must inevitable fol
low any prolonged stay. On their return they met a
large company going to the same. spot. A true state
ment of the difficulties and dangers of a further pros
ecution of the expedition induced about two hundred
' to turn back—fifty went on.
The gentleman name 1, from whom these tacts
have been obtained, is now in this city, with speci
mens in his possession, brought from the mother
mountain. They are the most singular and beauti
ful we have ever seen, and one need only to see them,
and hear him, to be convinced that nothing has been
told but the truth.

The two Pinna.
Mr. Clay in liis great speech in the Senate on the
Compromise, thus contrasts the plan of adjustment
proposed by the Senate Committee with that insisted
on by the administration.
The Committee’s plan
recommends nn amicable
settlement of ull five of
them.
That of the Committee
also proposes the admis
sion of California as a
State.
They also propose non
intervention us to sluvery.
The President's plan pro
poses an adjustment of on
ly one of the five subjects
which agitate and divide
the country.
The President’s plnn pi o-
poses the admission of
California as a State.
He proposes non-inter-
veutiuu ns to slavery.
But he proposes, furth
cr, non-intervention in the
establishment of territori
al governments, that is to
say, that we shall neglect
to execute the obligation
of the U. .States in the
treaty of Hidalgo: fail to
govern those whom we
are bound to govern; lenvo
them without tho protec
tion of the civil authority
of any general government
—leave Utah without any
government at all, but
that which the Mormons
may institute ; and leave,
New Mexico under the
military government of a
lieutenant colonel.
His plan fails to establish
the limits of New Mexico
east of the Rio Grande
and would expose the pco
pie who inhabit it to civil
war, already threatened 1
with Texus.
He proposes no adjust
ment of the fugitive slnve
subject.
They propose action and
intervention, by the estab
lishment of civil govern
ment for the territories, in
conformity with treaty and
constitutional obligations;
to give the superintending
nnd controlling power of
our general government,
in plnce of that of Mexico,
which they have lost; and
to substitute a civil instead
of thatmlltary government
which declares it will as
sume nn attitude of neu
trality in the boundary con
test between New Mexico
and Texas.
Their’s proposes a set
tlement of the boundary
question, nnd being settled,
a civil war with Texas
would be averted.
He proposes no arrange
ment of the subject of sla
very or the slave trade in
the District of Columbia.
Thus, of the five subjects
of disturb: nee nnd ngitn
tion—to wit: California,
territorial governments,
the boundary question
with Texas, the fugitive
bill, and the subject of
slavery in the District.
His plan settles but one,
lenving the other four un
adjusted, to inflame nnd
exasperate the public mind
I fear, more than ever.
Under bis plan, one par
ty, flushed with success in
the admission of Califor
nia alone, will contend
with new hopes nnd fresh
vigor, for the application
ot the Wilmot Proviso to
all the remaining territory,
provoked and chagrined
by obtaining no concession
whatever, may be urged
and animated to extreme
and greater lengths than
have been yet manifested
They offer amendments,
which will make the re
covery of fugitives more
effectual, nnd at the same
time, it is believed, will be
generally satisfactory to
the north.
They propose to inter
dict the slave trade in the
District, and to leave slave
ry there undisturbed.
They propose to adjust
all five of them on a basis
which, it is confidently be
lieved, is just, fair nnd hon
orable, and will be satis
factory to the people of the
United States.
They offer the olive
branch of peace, harmony,
and traflquility.
Under their plnn, nil
questions being settled in
a spirit of mutual conces
sion and compromise,
there will be general ac
quiescence. if not satisfac
tion; and the whole coun
try will enjoy once more
the blessing of domestic
peace, concord, and recon
ciliation.

Kelly's Poktadle Soda Water and Lemon
Sugar.—We were favored on Saturday by Messrs.
Turner & Henry, Exchnnge Wharf, with a bottle
of each of these preparations. We made a trial of
them yesterday, and found them to be all that their
inventor represents them to be. With the simple ad
dition of ice water, we produced excellent Lemonade,

M’lle Amelib’s Dancing Entertainment.—
At tho request of several friends, M’lle Amelie,
the popular danseuse, will give an entertainment to
morrow evening. We understand that with the ex

rope, private and professional, besides what money
she had at the time, by the late fire nt Mrs. Yonqe’s
Bonrding house. She gives the proposed entertain

she hns sustained, and relies upon the generosity of a
Savannah public to sustain her in her unaided efforts.
The Compromise.
A large meeting was held in St Louis, on Monday
night, in favor of the Compromise. Resolutions
were adopted, in substance, that the people of St.
Louis, without distinction of party, declare deep and
unwavering devotion to the Union, and will adhere
to itin spite of the efforts of Fanatics in the North,
or Hotspurs ir tho South. That tho West has a
large stoke in the Confederacy, and cannot allow
brethren of either section to endanger its integrity.
That although there i; a difference of opinion os to
the merits of the several propositions of the Senate’s
Committee of Thirteen, they yield their hearty sup
port to the measure as u compromise. That in the
opinion of this meeting, if the principles of the Com
promise are fairly carried out, the Union of the
States will be more firmly cemented ; and that the
peace, harmony and prosperity of the country enn
only be preserved by the spirit of magnanimous con
cession and compromise. They deprecate and de
plore the factious spirit which has manifested itself,
&c.
Compromise Meetings, without distinction of par
ty, have been held in the counties of Maury and Mont

We hear of meetings of a similar character in va

regard it in no other practical light than as a means of
political excitement

About thirteen miles from Marietta in a Northeast
erly direction on and around the blurt's of Vickry’s
Creek, one mile above its junction with the Chatta
hoochee River, stands the delightful village of Ros
well. This village was located at an early period af
ter the Cherokces had left the country, by Roswell
King, Esq., from whom it takes its name. ’Mr. King,
with a few other families from Liberty county and
its neighborhood, brought with them their pastor and
erected their buildings, then in the wilderness—
formed a Church, established Schools, and erected
a Cotton Factory, which has now been in successful
operation for several years, and tlie village has the
air offpiosperity, comfort, and even luxury.
The Cotton Factory, has 3,000 spindles, and furn
ishes employment ton large number of individuals;
from the neighborhood, who here find the means of
accumulating wealth, which some of them, improve
to great advantage. The fabrics of this Factory find
their way to Northern as well as Southern markets,
nnd command the highest market price, competing
successfully with the best Northern Factories in some
of their manufactures. Another Factory is now in
progress by tlie same company, a few rods from the
lormer, with a foundation of fine granite, which, is
found in abundance near the building. It rests upon
a solid rock, six or eight feet below the surface. The
building will be 140 ft. long by 53 wide, four stories
high, and will contain 5000 spindles, with the latest
improvements in all its machinery. These Manufacto
ries do great credit to the individuals who have erec
ted and sustained them so successfully.

exceedingly dry, nnd there is nothing but complaints
to be heard from the planters, in consequence of the
excessive drought throuzhout the island. In some of
the parishes there is scarcely sufficient water to keep

The fall of Venice.—Venice was the last of the Italian
Republics. Her independence lasted only 17 months.
Her surrender to Marshal Radetzky occurr d on tho
22d of August, 1849, and on tho Autrians entered her
gates. According to General Hess the siege of Venice
cost tho Austrians 10,000 men, besides 15,000 invalids
and sick, and two millions of florins in war materials
and restoration of fortresses. More then 50,000 pass
ports were issued by the Austrian Governor to emi
grants wishing to leave the city. Greece was the first
country that offered them an asylum. The Govern
ment of Sardinia afterwards followed her example
and voted the sum of twenty thousand dollars as a
fund for their relief. In anticipation of the fall of Ve
nice, a private subscription list was circulated though
the Kingdom of Sardinia in the month of June and in
the courre of a short time amounted to upward of
three thousand dollars. One subeription upon the
list was of a somewhat singular character, it was
that of a cavalry officer who subscribed ten thousand
francs, to be divided into one hundred dowries of one
hundred francs each, to be paid severally to such
young girls of the Kingdom of Sardinia of good con

Disunion in California.
The late accounts from California indicate the ne
cessity of some immediate action of our government
to prevent serious difficulties on that quarter. In
her present semi-territorial character her authorities
are exposed to serious embarrassment in administer
ing the laws, and are in constant liability of coining in
collision with the United States officers. Without a
court of admiralty jurisdiction, the United States col
lector of the port of San Francisco is in a measure
overstrained in the exercise of authority, from which
fucts difficulties have already grown up which threat
ened to bring that officer in conflict with the local ju
dicial authority. Threats have been made on both
sides, and at a late meeting of the citizens, the sub
ject was freely discussed. The people are resolved
to sustain their own officials in the discharge of their
duties, and frankly declare their determination to set
up a State government of their own, if they are not
speedily admitted to their rights as citizens of a sov
ereign State of the American Union.
The San Francisco Journal of Commerce, eommen
ting on this subject says :
Necessity has no law, or rather it is a law in itself,
and is paramount ti all such law as cannot under ex
isting circumstances be complied with. Congress
may, by its dissentions respecting slavery, keep us
out of tho Union, and refuse to recognize us ns a
State: but it cannot annihilate our right of self-govern
ment, or extinguish the organization by which wc
have created a government tor ourselves, and the
name, rank and functions of a free and sovereign
State. We do not, by any means, deny that the sanc
tion of Congress is necessary to ratify what we huve
done, and admit us as a Federal State : all we mean to
say is, that if Congress neither expresses her veto nor
her sanction with respect to our proceedings, we huve
n right to presume that she waives her right of inter
ference, and leaves us to fall back on the first princi
pies of natural liberty, and on tlie fundamental doc
trines of popular sovereignty, so clearly propounded
in the Declaration of American Independence, with
the view o: securing our own rights by forming and
muintuinlr.g a proper government of our own.
Mr. Frcaner, the California correspondent of the
N. O. Picayune, writing under date of San Francisco,
April 20, says :
I assure you that unless Congress does something
for us very soon a movement will be made for inde
pendence. Ill case Congress does not admit us tills
session the separation of California from the Union is
inevitable. A great many prominent men in this
country want to make a move at once, and it is in"
opinion if the question is agitated it will be the cause
ot a serious strife here between tho Northern and
Southern men. The Southerners here are more deter
mined than they are at home, and they are confident
that they have the majority at present Of one thing
you may be sure, lhat on the subjeit of disunion, in
case we are not admitted this session, there is no dif
ference of opinion, and it behooves the press on the
Atlantic to concentrate all their power and influence
to save California to the Union.
Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
New York, June 5, 1850.
I am happy to say that the old lady's prediction’has
failed of accomplishment, for not a drop of rain fell
yesterday, so that tho demand for umbrellas will
decrease, and ladies and gentlemen will Venture upon
the purchase of their summer hats and bonnets. I
have no doubt that the story was got up by some wag
of on umbrella maker, and I give him credit for the
idea.
An instance of intrepidity occurred at n fire up town
this morning, which, however, I am happy to say, oro
not rare among our firemen. The fire occurred about
4 o’clock, in n row of old wooden buildings, which
burned so rapidly, that the inmates, who were aroused
from their slumbers by the alarm, escaped barely
with their lives. (I don't intend a pun.) Atone of
the windows, however, appeared a woman with an
infant in her arms, distractedly calling upon the
persons below to help her. At this time the house
was in flames, and already the fire was creeping round
the window at which tlie woman stood, nnd in a few
moments it would be in a blaze. It was a most
distressing sight, and the more so from the peril that
must attend the attempt to rescue them. But three
brave fellows belonging to Hose Company No. 39,
named Jno. Rogers, Wm. Miner, and Wm. Seymour,
regardless of consequences, placed tbeir ladder
against the house, ascended it, and dashed through
the wiudow, which was enveloped in flames. For a
few moments every one watched the result with
breathless anxiety, which, however, was soon relieved;
they appeared emerging from the window bearing
with them the mother and the bnby, and descended
amidst the cheers of -tho crowd, and deposited them
in safety. Such a s'ght as this is a perfect oasis in the
desert of humanity, where cold, unfeeling selfishness
too generally prevails. I am sorry that I must record
an instance of that kind too, to mar this beautiful
picture—and yet it does not mar it, for it serves to
render the firemen's conduct more benutiful from the
contrast. Tlie woman was not much injured, but
the poor baby was dreadfully burned, nnd it was
conveyed, moaning from pain, to a Druggist's Store,
at the comer of 27th Street and 3d Avenue, kept by
one Dr. Warner; but you will scarcely believe the
fact, that the bruto refused to alleviate its sufferings
unless he "teas paid for his trouble in advance I He
was not gratified, however, for Bellevue Hospital wns
near by, and the sufferer was taken there, and properly
cared for.
We had almost another serious accident this
morning, by the falling of a building. There was an
immense quantity of Cotton, it seems, in that occupied
by Hunter & Griffin, No. 177 South-st., and the weight
was greater than the beams would bear; they snapped
in the centre, and fell into the building, and by some
means forced the front and rear walls outwardly, so
that serious consequences were apprehended. But
tlie alarm was given, and a posse of policemen were
soon on the spot, nnd made all secure.

meats for Utah and New Mexico upon the non-iniol
vention principle, thus putting at rest for ever
taring question of domestic servitude. These r« *
tions were carried unanimously.
A Serviceable Officer.—A commander in 0
Navy, who has not been to sea for sixteen years, h
been ordered to the coast of Afri-a, and has resign,
his commission in consequence. The Philadelphia
Ledger doubtless truly remarks, that he would hatl
had no acrupies to have held his office and receive
his pay for sixteen years longer, probably, if he h
not been ordered into service.
J3P According to a tabular statement in the Bo«t«j
Railway Times, the total receipts of the Great Wal
tern Railroad from Boston to Albany has increas
from $7,566,702 in 1842, to $9,926,952 in 1849. Thj
net income of this road has increased in live yea
from $246,069 to $755,488, or from $3 25 to $7,71 j
cent.
The Railroad Journal states that at least ten thouJ
nnd miles of road will be built in the United State!,!
within the next ten yenrs. Besides the iron require
for the new structures, a considerable amount willbl
needed for re-laying worn-out tracks and rcpsiril
O ver 100,000 tons will be purchased annually, which, M
the present prices, will cost five millions of dollarsp:
annum.
The Lawrence Divorce Case.—The Bosta
Bee publishes a lengthy statement from a friend o
Mr. Lawrence, in which it is declared that, in t
quence of the notoriety given to this case by the pi
lication of the ex parte details of the trial, st Lot
ville, Mr. Lawrence is preparing for tlie press a (u
account of the unfortunate circumstances connec
with the affair. The statement in the Bee is:
severe on Mrs. Lawrence’s conduct
Hungary.
Austrian tyrany is still employed in hunting down
the brave Hungarians. A letter writer now at Milan
says that most of the loading Hungarian insurgents
are tried, as soon as arrested by court marshal and
summarily executed upon the gallow« ; but where
palliating circumstances have been urged in favor of
the accused, Gen. Haynauhnsin some crises mitigated
the sentence to that ofdeath by musketry.
The churches of Hungary have suffered very much
from the late revolution. The church property pre
vious to that event yielded an annual revenue of400,000
florins ; but at present, instead of yielding any reve
nue, large sums will be required in order to repair the
damages which war has done to them.
Upon the surrender of the fortress nt Comom the
Hungarian patriots, among other things, relinquished
400 church bells, which they had intended to cast into
cannon. The churches of Romo were, during the
revolution, deprived of very many bells, taken for a
similar purpose. After tlie fall of the Republic the
cannon in the fortress of St. Angelo were sent to the
foundnry to be converted into bells, to supply such
churches ns had list those wakeful monitors.
Crime in the Northern Cities.
Crime in New York and Philadelphia.—The
Court of General Sessions commenced its June term
in New York, on Monday, with the heaviest calendar
that has been presented for several years. The whole
number of cases reported for trial is one hundred and
nine.
At Philadelphia, there are about three hundred indi
viduals in prison alone awaiting trial, and it is suppos
ed there were about one third as many more out upon
bail. The crimes with which they are charged run
through all the grades up to homicide.
Boston is not behind her neighbors in this regard.
She cannot perhaps count crime for crime, riot for ri
ot, and murder for murder ; but she enn boast some
of the most revolting murders that ever disgraced
the annuls of crimr.
Such is the state of morals in the great cities of the
North, and jet the good people of those cities, while
they live in hourly danger of assassinntion nnd every
species of personal violence, are perpetually mourn
ing over the depravity of the South.
Locomotive Fxplosions.—From a report rela
tive to exploeions of locomotives on railroads, it ap
pears that during the twenty years that steam has
been used in tills country, there have been only eight
such explosions.
A plank road has been projected from Cum-
bei land, Pa„ over the Alleghonies, 73 miles, to a point
on the Monongnhela river. Its cost ia estimated at
$100,000
igp The daughters of Mrs. Fish, whose “mysteri
ous ruppings” at Rochester created so much excite
ment awhile ago, have been engaged by Mr. Barnum
to “rap" at his Museum in New York. Admission 25
cents.
The Comet discovered May 1st. by Dr. Peter
son, of Altona, was observed at Washington on the
night of the the2d instant, by Mr. Ferguson, with tho
cynatonal. It is without a tail.
Heavy Failure.—The Springfield Republican an
nounces the failure of Messrs. Dean &. Packard, car
riage manufacturers, of Springfield, Mass., for about
$50,000. The depressed state of buisness, with the
suspension of nn iron manufacturer of Berkshire, ia
given as the cause of this failure.
Release of the Prisoners found on the
Georgiana and Susan Loud.—A respectable com
mercial firm in this city has received a letter from a
reliable source in Havana, stating that the Governor-
General had come to the conclusion to release the n-
dividunls, one hundred nnd twenty-three in number,
found on board the Georgiana and Susun Loud.—N.
O. Delta.
The expense of the trausporation of the mail
in-this country is $2,577,407, and in Great Britain it is
$2,229,708, which shows that we can carry letters as
cheap as England. The whole cost of our post office
is $4,479,049 of the British $7,016,240, which is all
'paid by penny postage.
Sudden Death of a Minister.—We learn from the
Petersburg News, that the Rev. Wm. I). Allen, a
young gentleman who had lately attached himself to
the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, ex
pired very suddenly on Sunday morning, at Woods
Church in Chesterfield county. He conducted the
earlier part of the exercises of worship, concluded his
sermon, and commened the “last prayer” (as it is
termed, but had only uttered one or two sentences,
when he fell backwards in the pulpit, and instantly
ceased to breathe. It is taid that he had ruptured a
blood vessel.
[jP* At the adjourned anti-slavery mectinq of tl
“Anniversnry,” at Boston, on Thursday, Mr. Wrigl
said: “Down with the Bible ! down with the con:!
tution I down with a God who sanctions slavery!
The God of Mr. Rogers, as preached by him, is I
monstrous compound of villainy naff oppressicn|
he feared not his power—despised his authority.’’
A young Irish girl, 18 years of age, hangs
herself on Monday at Pittsburgh, Pa. She hears J
short time past that the vessel in which her paioj
were coming to this country wob lost. Since fte|
arrival, a iew days ago, her mind became dert
with joy.
Fatal Affray.—Ayoungmnn by the name of ru
piien Doles, of Muscogee co., was ‘tilledin «n ‘J
with Thomas Terry, ou Sunday of last'«*
Young Doles received a stab in the breast. O'
which he died while pursuing his antagonist * J
a stick, whifli he had caught up atter the mo
wou nd was inflicted.
A Female Deacon.—A young lady was ord:
a Deaconess in Pittsburgh, Pa., on Tuesday as
English Lutheran Church. Deaconesses are an
of women who devote their lives to ^ ie ynno !,
pations of charity, and take the vows o ce
this purpose. .
