“Drab colored Christianity.”— This was the
title once given by a gentleman to the religion of a
Quaker, by whom the former had been grossly cheat
ed, in some pecuniary transaction—and we are re
minded of the aptness of the cognomen by an anec
dote told of T. McKennan of Pa., a Whig Electon
and one of his Quaker constituents. After Tom had
made a speech extolling old Zack, the Quaker slip
ped up and said—“ Friend Thomas, we cannot vote
for a man of war and blood as Gen. Taylor: Uur re
ligious principles forbid us doing so ; but I will tell
thee what we can do—we will vote for thee, Friend
Thomas, and thee may vote for whom thee pleases.’’
And, accordingly, so it came to pass. These
“ drab colored” Christians, forgetting their anti-war
and anti-slavery principles, went with a rush for the
Taylor elector ! Hypocrites, as they are, they
“ whipped the devil round the stump,” and think they
have done a smart thing in thus falsifying their pro
fessions !
The (.old Region.
The reader will perceive that we have given
place to the substance of the reports that reach
us from the gold mines of California. Since the
article was in hand, we have received the Wash
ington Union, containing the-report of Col. Ma-’
son, the Governor of that Territory for the pres
ent. His report corroborates the statements
published, and states that a very few solid lumps
have been found worth SI,OOO each. Os course
near the mines no other labor is done except dig
ging for the metal—and almost the whole coun
try teems with the desire to be ofl thilher. Com
panies are forming in New York, New Orleans,
and in many other cities—and there is one near
ly full in Decatur county, Ga. If one.half the
reports turn out to be true, Ameiica will yet be
the richest continent on the globe—and the cost
of the late Mexican war, which appeared so
enormous to some, will dwindle into insignifi
cance when compared with the millions of wealth,
that the gold mines, secured by the war, will
yield to our country and people.
But every body cannot go there—hence it is
best for each one to be contented with his lot,
and let adventurists alone to secure wealth at
the perilous hazards which such enterprises re
quire. Let the sober-minded business man or
man of family read the following sensible re
marks from Maj. Noah’s N. Y. Titties of 3d inst.
and be satisfied with tilings as they are :
“The plain,overspread with the precious min
eral, is computed to be eighty miles in length and.
thirty in breadth : and it is said that 2,000 per
sons can gather, or rather arc gathering, 8500,-
000 per week. It is moreover, stated, that the
supply of gold—at this rate of abstraction—will
last thirty years 1 This would give a grand total
of seven hundred and eighty millions of dollars ;
which sum, added to the present stock of bullion
in the world, woukl probably reduce the value of
gold as a measure of prices full twenty per cent.
No general or permanent benefit could ics.ilt
from the acquisition, for the decrease of value
would be in an inverse ratio to the increase in
quantity. We see the effect of this immutable
law of values in the present prices of the neces
saries of life iu California. We are told that a
man has only to stoop and take up a shovel full
ot sand, and he is at once, possessed of some
three, or four dollars, which lie can secure in
thirty minutes by the process of washing ; and in
this way one person can realize 40 or SSO per
diem. But then lie has to pay SSO for a barrel
of flour, which he could buy here for s(>; and sl2
for a pair of shoes, that a New York maker
would sell tor $1 50. Gold has no fixed ami
unchangeable value, as some people appear to
suppose. It is merely a commodity of less worth
intrinsically than almost any tiling wo can buy
with it, and only bearing a conventional value as
the representative of things which have a real
intrinsic worth. If the world were flooded with
gold, the metal would soon sink in value below
the smallest portion of any necessary which it
now purchases: and we should buy gold with
bread, instead of buying bread with gold. The
few who might be lucky enough to dip out a for
tune from the first gush of the glittering tide, and
wise enough to invest it in real properly before
the overflow had rendered gold a drug in the
market, would undoubtedly benefit by the Pacto
lean flood ; but its general cfiect would be to
produce a commercial revolution and involve all
the operations of trade in disastrous confusion.
“ Had rich mines of coal, or of any other min
eral used in the arts, been found in California,
there would have been a more rational cause for
rejoicing than there is at present. But it is im.
possible to impress the community—and especi
ally the young aud enterprising portion of it—
with this conviction. Already the gold fever
has become epidemic, and expeditions are organ
izing in this city and in New Orleans for the pur
pose of proceeding to the Pacific coast. Mean
while, much sickness prevails among the gold
diggers ; and the rainy season, which commen
ces in the beginning of December and continues
until the middle of March, is already upon them.
Comparatively shelterless, and it is to be feared
short of provisions, many will die. Famine and
fever will consume them in the midst of wealth
which would purchase the harvests of the world!
“Miserable misers 1 what will their gold avail
them ? Cut of!'from the coast by the inundation
which occurs in the winter months, exposed to
unwholesome vapors, and lacking not only med
icine and attendance, but the necessaries of life,
they will perish almost as miserably as the rniscr
of old, down whose throat melted gold was
poured as a punishment for his avarice.”
Richted.—We have been accused of partiality,
because in noticing the humbugs of the day, we omit
ted to pay our respects to one of the “ small fry ”
jugglers who held forth in our city last week to
“crowded houses,” (that is, if benches “crowd” a
house.) Our reply to the accusation is, that the
“Fakir of Siva,” as he pompously styles himself, was
either “too full of business” or too mean to send us a
ticket for our previous notices of his intention to visit
our place. We did not have the face to attend with
out paying a “half,” and rather than throw away
money in that style, we prefer seeing all such clap
trap demagogues in the stone house at .Milledgeville.
Therefore, our non-attendance prevented us from ex
posing this chip of humbugs—albeit, uc did hear
that he performed some sleight-o'-hand tricks that as
tonished all the green ‘uns present; such, for in
stance, as taking gingerbread out of a country- man’s
bosom, and hiring the said countryman to appear
wonderfully aitonished at tiie artful trick of (during
bread in his bosom without the cognizance of him
self or of the audience ! But when it leaked out
that these performances oftho countryman constitu
ted no small part of tho “show,” the Fakir sloped ;
and those who had paid a Imll to see this “Hindoo
pupil,’” hud to acknowledge that they were “sucked
again.”
! Eye Sore.—'jhe little old building standing north
of'the Methodist Church is a horrid looking affair.
| We hope the owner or owners (if there are any)
will see to its repair or removal. We have heard of
one reason for its remaining, however, and there may
be something in it—it is, that the beauty and stateli
ness of the new Church are much enhanced when
viewed in comparison with the ill looks of this miser
able shanty.

pound equal to them for the disensep for which they are
recommended ; particularly in Dyspepsia, Nausea, Dis

sive testimony to show that the greal reputation that it en
joys was not accidentally obtained, hut is firmly based up
on its positive, and appniently miraculous virtues. In ail

offspring, who would not have been so but for this extra
ordinary preparation. And it is equally potent in the ma

cause the trash that has been thrown into the n.nrket in
opposition to it is bold cheaper; but the fact is, the Cor

dearer, as many of the ingredients which compose it ar*
among tho cost.iesi things in nature; whereas the others
are made up of cheap drugs, worth but little in money and
less in merit. \\ e assure the reader that the utmost reli
