rect in their deportment, and many, con

gratuitously supplied with every requisite
comfort.
The following touching expression of
grateful feeling, will, it is hoped, he read
with interest by all who appreciate this
noble and too long neglected class of our
fellow men:
To the IjCuUis of the Seaman's E.
Society.
I'jSTKF.med Ladies:—May you accept
fins feeble expression of our gratitude for
the splendid and magnificent cake, over
which waved tiie Star-spangled Banuer ;
and also for the note of good wishes to
day presented to us through Capt. Pau
keii. The recollections of this day will
pot soon he erased from our memories.
We are often more than delighted in
witnessing the disinterested kindness and
patriotism of the ladies. The appella
tion of “weaker sex,” has been applied to
them, it is true ; but their very weakness
is strength, and being gentle, they are
the more powerful! Their generous and
mighty deeds, make the brightest page in
human history.
When the cause of truth and humanity
has languished, and her enemies have
made sure of their final triumph, earth’s
fiir ones have stepped upon the stage,
and led on to glorious conquest. Truly
earth would have been a desert, and Sa
tan's triumph certain, had not woman
mingled in the scene.
Language is by far too feeble to give
expression to feelings that often swell the
bosom of the Mariner, as lie contem
plates the care which the warm and ten
der heart, and the delicate hand of the
female have manifested in his behalf.
Sailors were long considered an almost
irredeemable class of men ; but happily
for us, a change has come over the minds
of men in this respect, and that, perhaps,
in answer to the prayers of mothers and
sisters, which have so often gone up as a
“ memorial before the Throne
We feel most grateful that the eternal,
as well as the temporal good of the Sail
or, has been sought. Indeed, this is the
great end of all properly directed efforts ;
all the rest should he made tributaries to
this.
We look to you as our benefactors and
most sincere friends, and kindly hope you
will never get discouraged in your most
generous efforts, for that class of men who
are more careless, in general than hard
hearted.
Kind Ladies, may the Sun of Righte
ousness unremittingly shine upon your
pathways lure, and at last may you re
ceive “ The reward of the inheritance at
the right hand of the throne of God,”
is the prayer of your most humble and
grateful son ants.

THE PARADES.
Our city has been alive for the past
week with “ the ear piercing fife and the
soul stirring drum,” and our Volunteers
have done their country some sendee in
marching and drilling, if not in defend
ing our city from the assaults of an ene
my ; yet they have on several occasions
charged batteries of champagne and
some of them been placed horsdc combat
from its effects.
On Saturday our Volunteer Associa
tions paid due homage to the anniversary
of the Father of our country. Their
ranks were full, and their marching and
drilling, without exception, very fine.—
The Savannah Volunteer Guards gave a
collation at Oglethorpe Hall to the Chat
ham Artillery and Republican Blues, it
was done well, and all present enjoyed
the occasion. A proposition was made
by Capt. Anderson of the Blues, that
each ensuing anniversary of the
of February, the three corps should unite
under the command of the Junior Cap
tain and celebrate the day together, it
was accepted unanimously.
The Squadron of Horse under the
command of Major Bern paraded on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.—
On Wednesday the Regiment under the
command of Major John N. Lewis to
gether* with the Squadron of Horse, was
reviewed by Gen. Wm. P. White. Va
rious evolutions were performed, and a
sham fight between the foot and horse
concluded the parade.

Arrival of the Steamer Mexico,
Fifteen Days Later from California,
The steamship Mexico, W. 11. Tal
bot, commander, six days and ten hours
from Clmgrcs, which place she left on
the 6th inst., arrived here last evening at
4 o’clock, bringing dates from California
to the 15th of January.
The Mexico left atChagresthe steam
ers Crescent City and Prometheus, and
British steamer Severn. The Crescent
City was to leave for New York the next
day, and the Prometheus the day fol
lowing. The steamer Philadelphia was
seen going in as the Mexico came out.

The steamer New Orleans arrived at
Panama on the 2d inst., and the Ante
lope on the 4th.
The California mail was expected
every moment at Panama by the steamer
Unicorn, the Northerner, which should
have brought if, having been detained for
repairs of injuries sustained in conse
quence of the steamer Tennessee having
come in contact with her.
Passengers report business at Sacra
mento City very dull, and gold dust
scarce.
On Saturday, the Bth inst., in lat. 14
deg. lOmin. lon 81deg 36min. the Mexi
co exchanged signals with the steamer
Ohio.
Our papers from San Francisco, by
the Mexico are to January 15, being
fifteen days later than heretofore re
ceived.
The Legislature of the State met at
San Jose on the 7th January, when the
message of Gov. Burnet was delivered.
It is a document of some length, com
mencing with a brief allusion to the for
mation of the constitution, and the strug
de for admission to the Union—paying
a tribute to the principles of American
liberty, with a pledge on behalf of Cali
fornia that she will make amends for the
unfortunate excitement she unwittingly
caused in the old States, by her devotion
to the Union, love of justice, and spirit
of conciliation towards her sister States.
In alluding to the Indian difficulties, the
Governor attributed them to the incon
siderate conduct of the whites in some
instances, and the sudden and extended
occupation of the lands hitherto exclu
sively possessed by them, the Govern
ment neglected to treat with them. The
organization of the force under Gen-
Morehead to proceed to the Colorado
and punish the \ uinas is alluded to, but
the responsibility of the measure, and
the blame for kneeling the force so long
in the field after it was raised, are shitted
to the shoulders of Maj. Gen. Bean, of
San Dieogo, and Gen. Morehetid, The
Alta California sayg it utterly disagrees
with the well-known principles of the
Governor, now reiterated, for the exclu
sion of all colored persons from the State;
and will not acknowledge the soundness
of his arguments in this point, or admit
the question of slavery will ever be agi
tated within the borders of California.
The Governor recommends an amend
ment of the ninal laws of the State,
and *■ capital punishment for rob
*‘d grand larceny. There is not
uich else of importance in the message.
Indian troubles have broken out in the
southern mines, but the Alta California
thinks they do not amount to much, though
a great (leal ot excitement on the subject
lias been cheated.
A duel took place in San Francisco
between Mr. Walker, one of the editors
ot tiie Herald, and Mr. Graham, the
latter being the challenging purtv. The
weapons used were Colt's revolvers, and
five shots were to be fired, unless one of
the parties was hit Two shots
were exchanged. At the first fire Mr.
\\ alker received bis adversary’s ball
through the leg of his pantaloons, and
at the second was shot through the fleshv
part of the thigh. The wound was of a
very trifling character. Both parties were
accompanied by a number of friends.—
The affair was caused by an article which
appeared in the Herald relative to the
Judge of the Probate Court and the Pub
lic Administrator, for which Mr. Graham
challenged the editor on behalf of
Morrison.
Mr. Broderick, Clerk of the California
Senate, and Mr. Moore, of the Assembly,
had a personal collision in the streets of
San Jose. Neither was hurt.
In regard to gold news we take the fol
lowing from the Alta California:
Twenty-seven miles beyond the Trini
ty there is a beach several miles in extent,
and bounded by a high bluff.’ The sands
of this beach are mixed with gold to an
extent almost beyound belief. The sand
is of two kinds—a fine black sand and a
grey sand. The grey sand can be separ
ated very easily from the black sand, and
this seems to be a desirable object. The
gold is mixed with the black sand in pro
portions of from ten cents to ten dollars
the pound. At times when the surf is
high, the gold is not easily discovered,
but in the spring of the year, after a suc
cession of calms, the entire beach is
covered with bright and yellow gold.
Mr. Collins, the Secretary of the Pacific
Mining Company, measured a pack of
gold and sand, and estimates it will yield
to each member of the Company the
snug little sum of $43,000,00 —and this
estimate is formed upon a calculation
that the sand bolds out to be one-tenth
as rich ys observation warrants them in
supposing.
A Prize Wedding. —The first wedding
in the stirring town of Treverton—which
has sprung into existence within the last
six months, in the valley a few miles hack
of Sunbury, on the road to Pottsville—
was celebrated on the 24th ult., with great
rejoicings. According to previous stipu
lation, the happy couple became entitled
to and received the following substantial
premiums, viz: The wife the best dress
in the Company’s Store, and the husband
a handsome town lot, and a loan of S4OO
from the Company to build upon it.—

Turner’s Compound Fluid Extract of
CONYZA and STILLINGIA.
THIS Preparation is a highly Concentrated
Extract, containing all the Active Medicinal
Properties of the Conyza, (commonly known
as Black Root,) and the Stillingia, or Queen’,
Delight.
These Plants have long since been used among
our Southern Negroes and in empyrical practices
with the happiest results, in cases of Chronic
Rheumatism. Ulcers of long standing, and Sec
ondary Syphilis. It is much superior to any pre
parations of Sarsaparilla as an alterative, being
more active and prompt in its operation on the
system. These facts have induced the subscri
bers to present to the attention of Physicians a
preparation prepared according to strict Chemi
cal and Parmaceutical science, devoid of all
the feculent and inert parts of the roof, not doubt
ing that it will supercede the unscientific and
crude preparations hitherto used.
