Death of Col. James .4. Banks*
Our readers will regret to learn that authentic
Intelligence has been received of the decease of
Col. JAMES A. BANKS, son of Ephraitn Banks,
Esq., of this place. He died at San Francisco,
California, of chronic dysentery, on the 15th of
October, aged 26 years, 1 month, and 5 days.—
Unprepared as his parents and relatives were for
such an announcement—the last accounts, re
ceived but a few weeks since, having represent
ed his health as much improved, arid his pros
pects for success in life flattering—his demise
falls with a heavy hand upon those to whom he
was endeared by the ties of kindred and friend
ship. But such are the evanescent scenes thro'
which man moves—one moment buoyant with
high hopes for the future ; the next " life's cher
ished dreams are o'er," and he lies cold and life
less in the grave.
THE WEATHER.—We have had several -prink
! lings of snow within the last eight or ten days, i
■ but being in a " melting mood," (much to the
discomfiture of the beaux and belles, but not of
the hersrs,) there has been but little opportunity
j so far for a good sleigh ride.
I
The Railroad is now completed to Mc\ ey- !
town, twelve miles above Lewistown, and the
cars will henceforward, we presume, run to that
place.
A passenger and baggage car were considera
bly injured on Wednesday evening, at the depot
opposite this place, by a train of burthen cars
running into them. The train wa an extra one,
and the collision was caused by the darkness of
j the night and the engineer not knowing that the
passenger cars were on the track. We believe
. it would be a good rule for the company
! under no circumstances to suffer any cars to re
main on the main track during the night. This
would at le3st avoid collision from extra trains,
1 expresses, &c.
DEMOCRACY.—Mr brooks, of the New York-
Express, a whig member of the present Con
gress, has given his privilege of appointing a ca
det to West Point, to the faculty of the Free
Academy, with instructions to bestow it on the
fittest and ' most deserving student.' This is
ichig democracy. Locofoco democracy, which
professes to he the particular friend of the poor,
bestows such appointments on the sons of the
rich, arid lets the poor educate themselves.
SIBGICAL OPERATION. —Adjutant General
luvviv, who was wounded in one of his hands
by a ball during the campaign against Mexico,
had it extracted on Thursday of last week by
Dr. 11. T. Child and Prof. Mutter, of Philadel
phia, and Dr. Thomas Vanv&lzah, of this place.
The ball had penetrated between the bones of
the hand, and was so firmly wedged that the
operation was rendered both difficult and pro
tracted. It wa=, however, successful, and we
are gratified to slate that the General's condi
tion is grestly improved, and strong hopes en
tertained liiat he will experience very litt'e or
no inconvenience hereafter from the painlul
infliction he has been subjected to.
A Convention of •• Fowl Premiers" was
recently in session in Boston, and attract
ed much attention. There never was
such a grand "setting" before, and some
thing was expected to be hatched that will
greatly improve the breeds of fowls, and
persuade them into laying eggs ot a larger
size, if not of a superior quality. There
were chickens hatched in May and June
about as large as turkeys, and pullets four
months old that had broods of chickens.
All quarters of the globe contributed to
this display, and there were representatives
from Cochin China, Poland geese, British
pheasants, Muscovy ducks, peacocks, pea
hens, pigeons, ruffs, fan tails and carriers,
thanksgiving gobblers, wild turkeys, and
white swans—every variety of the leather
ed creation which it is possible to domi
eilate in a barn or induce to habilate a
barn yard. It is said the specimens ex
hibited could nut have been less than 3000;
and die number of visiters is supposed to
have been 8,000 or 10,000. Some of the
low 1> were sold at prices varv lag IVoiu $5
lo #lB a pair.

On 'Monday the House continued to ballot,
but without any material change. On the 31st,
Mr. Winthrop had 101 votes and Mr. Potter,
loco, 78, the balance being scattered. Mr.
Moore, of Louisiana, then oifered a resolution di
recting the clerk to place the names of Messrs.
Winthrop and Cobb in a box, and the first drawn
out by one of the judges to be Speaker of the
31*t Congress. The resolution after a protract
ed debate, was laid upon the table, as was also
a resolution offered immediately afterwards by
Mr. Schenck, to proceed to an election by ballot, j
On the 32d trial Winthrop had 101. ani Brown. j
of Indiana, whom the locos took up in place of
Potter, 53—the remainder being scattered for
Tom, Dick and Harry.
On Tuesday, after several ineffectual ballots,
Mr. Winthrop rose and addressed the House
as follow s :
I ask, sir, to say a single word, before the mo
tion for an adjournment is put. 1 desire to say
to the Clark and members of the House of Rep
resentatives here assembled, that it is well
known tu many of my friends—l believe to a
great majority of those who have thus far hon
ored me with their support—that I should haie
withdrawn my name long ago from this protract
ed contest if they had allowed me to do so. 1
have repeatedly expressed to them my desire
not to stand in the way of a satisfactory organiza
tion. or of any organization of the House : be
lieving, as 1 do, that the highest interests of the
country, the peace and safety of the Union, de
mand an organization of some sort without de-
LA Y-
But sir. my friends have persisted in using
every means, and insist that it is under their
control and not under my own. I havp, there
fore, allowed this contest to go on as it has done
to this moment. T now beg leave of you to say
publicly what I have so often said privately,
that nothing would give nic greater pain than to
imagine, for an instant, that I have stood in the
way of any organization which might be effect
ed by this House. 1 desire, therefore, to say to
all my friends that while 1 thank them cordially
for their warm and steadfast support, it would
give me great satisfaction if the\ would concen
trate their suffrages on some other candidate,
and ! shall most cordially co-operate with them
In the election of any other individual to the
: office of Speaker.
The House then adjourned.
The Parkman Murder.
In relation to this exciting subject the Boston
i Post has the following statement:
I The whole subject of the disappearance or
j death of Dr. Parktnan being now fairly before
' the Coroner's inquest, sitting with closed doors,
we hare concluded not to give the flying rumors
of additional discoicries which are current in
the street. Home we have ascertained to be un
i founded, and the facts on which others arc based
do not justify the statements which have been
circulated in relation to them. This is particu
larly the case with regard to certain mortgage
notes given up to the officers by Mrs. Webster,
j when they called at the house on Wednesday af
i ternoon. The two faggots carried to the Col
i lege by the express man for Dr. Webster were
1 trimmings of grape-vines, and the fact has no
relevancy except as it may go to sustain the as
sertion that Dr. Webster did not leave his labor
atory open last week as had been his custom.
The spots of blood on the lloor of the apparatus
room and the stairs turn out to be such marks
as most tobacco chewcrs make.
The excitement appeared to have somewhat
i subsided yesterday, but it was manifest, from
j remarks on every hand that two zealous parties
have been formed in relation to the case—the
anti-Webster and the anti-Littleficld parties—
each exaggerating every circumstance as it is
i supposed to make for its own side, or against
j the other.
It is proper to state that there arc five ways
by which the laboratory may be entered. Two
from the entry leading to the dissecting room,
which entry opens upon the street. One from
the apparatus room above, and accessible from
the lecture room. One from the passage way
connected with the Janitor's apartments, which
passage terminates in a door in the rear of the
building, which is accessible from the water
side by a regular landing. The fifth entrance
is by a rear window, without climbing, when
the tide is up.

The steamship Crescent City, Capl. Stoddard,
arrived at New York on Friday morning of
last week, from Chagres, which port she left on
the 28th ult, bringing one month's later intel
ligence from California, 100 passengers, and
one million dollars in gold dust, including that
belonging to the passengers.
Among the passengers by the Crescent I ■ify,
are several from the Sandwich Islands, inctud- i
ing the Hon. G. P. Judd, Ins Hawaiian Majes
ty's Plenipotentiary, accompanied by Master
Lihohiho, the heir presumptive, and his broth
er Kamehameda. Thev will proceed imme
diately to Washington," and thence in a few
days to Europe. It is said that the object ot :
Dr. Judd's visilto the United States has refer
ence to the late outrages of the French at the
Sandwich Islands.
The passengers crossing the Isthmus contin
ued very numerous. Tl.irtceu hundred it is
said left Ciiagres in two days.

A meeting of the triends of T. Butler King
was held at San Francisco on the 28th of Oc
tober, with a view to his nomination lor the
Senate of the United States.
The convention tor forming a state constitu
tion had completed its labors and finally ad

is to be submitted to a vote of the people on the
13:h of November. Its publication is com
inenced in the i'ucijic ?\>tcs of Nov. 1, two ar
ticles anil part of another being given.
The first article contains the bill of rights,
the l"ith section of which is as follows:
" Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
unloaa tor the punishment of crimes, shall ever
be toleruted in this State."
The second article treats of the right of suf
frage, which is accorded to every white male
citizen of the United States nnd Mexico, who
shall have elected to become a citizen of the
United States under the treaty ot Queretaro,

SHERLOCK'S DIUUINS, Mariposa, Sept. 27.
This, t|g. Editor is unquestionably the p.ace
for • big chunks,' but let me instruct you con
cerning these diggings. They were discovered
two or three months since by a man named
Sherlock, who, with a company of seventy
Mexicans, worked these deposits on shares.
The w,rk varies with us, as well as else* here.
In t iijht days, three men t< <>k out 57 pounds
ot pnre gold. And Inst week two men took
out in two days 21) pounds from a spot near my
camp. Sherlock has gone into the mountains,
no one knows where, a:.d we have elected a
new A!ca>!e, who, the day of his installation
into office, issued nn order tor all Mexicans to
decamp, which they did forthwith. We all
intend to winter here, as we can easily make
comfortable quarters. This place is tli.-tant 11
miles from Fremont's discovery, and is much
the ncheet ot the two deposits. Many large
pieces have been recently found here, averag
ing from one to eight pounds, pure gold. The
finest pieces uauaiiyare worth about fifty cents,
to you perceive this is the region of * big
lumps.'
THE PLACER. —The I'lace-r Times of Oct. 1
sayef—" VV e havT seen several from the mines
dunrg the past week—some of them with a
bag tuil of 'dust.' while others were not troub
ied with anything heavy. The following let
ter from a friend will give our readers a com
mon state view ot mining and miners in all
sections of the Placer, although written on the
Middie Fork and dated
6 VANISH PAR, Oct. 10, 1840.
There has been and always will he a great
disparity in the pro lucts of lubor in the mines
| ot tins country, and this disparity is often a
cause of much trouble and uneasiness on the
part of niiiier.>, and more particularly new be
ginners. For instance a man, comes here and
| locates himself; he commences operations;
a ter remaining here some two or three weeks
he becomes initiated and makes his £>l2 or an
ounce a day. -llut just at this juncture of
affairs a report comes troin the North or South
Forks, or somewhere else, that people are
taking cut from 3 to (i ounces a day on some
other stream.
This causes at once a di satisfaction cn the
part of the newcomer (old miners are not so
i easily led away,) he makes a comparison and
says to himself, " I ain not going to work for
an ounce a day when other people arc making
three or tour ounces"—and he immediately
; packs up and is otf for the better diggings, lie
arrives at his place of destination, and finds, to
! his astonishment, that he is worse off' than
when lie started—besides losing a week's time.
Judging from what I can learn I think there is
■ little difference as to the richness of the three
Forks, the North, Middleand South. They all
I have proved prolific.
1 think the North (being the nearest to the
city) has been the most worked. F.tice 1 have
been on the Spanish Bar (now about three
i months) there has been an immense amount of
money taken out. Damming parties have done
the best by going into the bed of the stream, yet
many dams have proved failures; some com
panies have taken out over a hundred dollars
a day for several weeks, but these things are
not common. Miners here are thinking about
going into winter quarters; the nights are
quite chilly, and every one is anxious to get
breakfast tor the sake of being in the vicinity
of the fire.
FAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1, 1549.
Since my last, we have had a touch of the
" rainy season '. Od the 9th ult., a fo* which
had hung over the city tor several days, deter
mined itself into quite n shower of ram.
On the 10th, a violent H. K. wind set in and
torrents of rain fell, which damaged a large
amount ot goods, that were stored in the open
air, and not taken care of by the owners, who
supposed the shower of the day previous a na
tural result of the foggy weather. At n small
estimate, $109,000 will not cover lic- uao>ie.
Some sickness was occasioned by the shower to
persons lodging in *ents, at Happy Valley.
Rents in securely sheltered buildings ad
vanced 100 per cent. Carpentets'wages rose
immediately from sl2 to sl7 per day and about
one hundred buildings have been put up since.
The propeller McKim arrived here on the
3d ult. She has been purchased by Simmons,
Hutchinson & Co. and now runs to Sacramento
city twice a week. Thev paid $40,000 for her
1 understand.
The steamer Mint—n small iron steamboat
which was landed and put into running order
in three weeks—has already made several suc
cessful trips to Sacramento city. A stern
wheel steamboat was launched the other day.
We shall soon have plenty of steam convey
ances to the mines.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 1, 1649.
This is a stirring time for California Since
i the l i t i lean er soiled the population of the
ccuntry has been increased by about 1 ''"'
emigrants, 4000 of whom arrived at this port
by sea. The excitement of politics has been i
ndded to that of gold digging and laud specu- j
lution. San Francisco was something of a
whirlpool before, but now it has widened its j
sweeps, and seems to be drawing everything I
into its vortex.
The morning after I teached here, 1 went
about the town to note the changes and im- |
proveinents. 1 cou'dscarcely believe my eyes. '<
'1 he northern point, where the bay pours its \
waters into the Golden Gate, wascovered with
houses m arly to the summit—many of them
large three story warehouses. The central ;
and highest hill on which the town is boilt was j
shorn of its chapparal, and studded with tents
and houses; while to the eastward the streets .
had passed over the last of the three hills, and |
were beginning to encroach on the Happy Val
ley. The beautiful crescent of the harbor,
stretching from the Rincon to Fort Montgomery,
•a distance of more than a mile, was lined with {
boats, tents and warehouses, and near the lat
ter point several piers jutted into the water. |
Montgomery street, fronting on the bay, had un
dergone a marvellous change. All the open
spaces were built up, the canvass houses re- j
placed by ample three story buildings, an ex- |
change with lofty sky-light fronted the water,
and tor the space of half a mile the throng of
men of all classes,characters and nations, with
carts and animals, equalled Wall street before
three o'clock.
In other parts of the town the change was
equally great. Tents and canvass houses had

EfOJOHY.—The amountof money deposited
in the Savings Rank of Great Rritain is ow
-£21,000,000 sterling, or more than one huitl„'i
millions of dollars ! This is an enormous amount
of money, and i the savings of manv who have
labored hard, and by pursuing a habit of st|j <t
economy they have succeeded in maintaining
themselves handsomely, and laid up a com nt.
tencv for old age. The question then ann-J
what is true economy ? In the exercise of econ
omy it is essential to have good judgment— a com
rect notion of matters and things. Every ire'
vidual has in the course of a life time to purchase
a large amount of goods, even if for his or her
own support, merely. It will, in the course of
years, amount to a considerable sum. Then the
way to practice economy in this respect is to
buy for CASH, as it is very dangerous to go in
debt, particularly with the storekeepers, ihjv
for CASH, and buy always GOOD GOODS, and at the
lowest prices ; and to enable the public to at
goods of every grade and quality, at the lowest
possible prices that they can tie sold over the
cost of manufacturing, C. L. JONES is conduct
ing a large establishment on the CASH SYSTEJI,
and his business has now grown to such an enor
mous extent that he buys nearly all his goodi
directly of the importers and manufacturers f -
cash, and sells them at the smallest considerable
profits, and in this way he is enabled to sell his
goods at least twenty PEP. CENT, lower than all
other merchants. Let any one make a calcula
tion of the amount of goods they would proba
bly buy in one year, and they will find that 20
percent, or one-fifth of the amount would be a
considerable item. Let this run on for some
years, and they w ill have a sum saved in amount
of no little consequence.
It is now admitted by all other merchants, a.
well as by the public generally, that C. L. JO.VE;
has the largest and best selected stock of goods
ever show n before in Lewistown, and that he
can undoubtedly buy goods cheaper than ai.v
other merchant—his business being so large and
purchasing in such immense quantities.
Country persons visiting Lewistown to pur
chase goods for CASH will soon be convinced of
the foregoing facts, by calling at the Celebrated
Veic Cheap Cash Store of C. L. JONES, and in pro
portion to the population of this country with
Great Britain, the amount cf savings might be
quite equal, and probably greatly exceed the
estimate made.
