SEW YEAR'S ADDRESS* Our Carriers will pay their annual \ isit to the subscribers of the Gazette on 1 ues dav morning, to greet them with wishes for a " Happy New \ ear." CIIRI- i MAS. —This day was •• celebrated in a varietv of vvavs—some indulging in sleigh lides through a bitter cold wind and drifting snow ; others in dancing parties, who daneed all night and then went home with the girls in the morning—n third class took it out in hard knocks —a fourth in drinking—and the remainder staid at home enjoying the comforts of a warm lire-side. tJCQur neighbor of the Democrat was fortunate enough last week to receite a share of venison recently brought in hv some of our hunters. Although not able to luxuriate on such sumptuous fare, we tire this week indebted to a gentleman who frequently bears us in kind remembrance, for a lot of most excellent apples, quite as acceptable as a lice from a 'saddle' would have been. May his shadow never grow less. in Example Worth} of Imitation. The Hollidaysburg editors, together with their wives, children, devils, and all -other attaches, were invited to an ovster dinner, garnished with other good things, one day last week, and enjoyed it as the lean and hungry only can enjoy such a -treat. It was given by Mr. Jxwns M. LYTLE, of the Central Restaurant, and as he must needs be a clever fellow, we rc • commend visitors to liollidavsburg to give him a call. Here we are yet behind the -age in such matters—our ovstermcn still doing as their fathers did before them, and with the exception of SHELL, not even advertising. An adjourned meeting of the Stockhol ders of the Pennsv lvania Railroad Company was held in Philadelphia on Monday, at which it was declared inexpedient to re duce the salary of the President—that ac tion is not at this time required respecting the delivery of goods to consignees at their places of business—and approving the course pursued by the Directors in order ing the discontinuance of Sunday travel from and after to-morrow. The way fare is now 3 cents per mile. ry The locofoco papers in this vicini ty are recommending EVEKARD OI.ES, of Juniata county, as their next candidate for Canal Commissioner. Query.—Did not Mr. Oles resign or decline an appointment on the Central Railroad, some time since, on the ground that he was no longer ' fit lor such things?' INSURANCE. —The recent lire, demon strating that no property however guarded against destruction by that element is secure from its ravages, will probably attract re newed attention to insurance. All owners of real estate ought to be insured, either in wlrple or part, and if an evil day comes, -there is a better remedy at hand than the charity extended to sufferers by such ca lamines—which, however well meant and cheerfully given, is nevertheless often a source of deep pain to the feelings of re cipients. The Franklin Tire Insurance • Company of Philadelphia, whose adver tisement will be found in our columns, is considered a safe institution, and we recom mend our readers to give Mr. 11 m.e, the agent, a call and ascertain terms. A few dollars annually expended in this mann r, may some day save a home and a fund of trouble. Two men, one of them named Thomas Groudy, and the other Henry Spread, were killed on the York and Cumberland railroad, -on Thursday of last week, a short distance from York, and another se verely injured bv a heavv -none falling up on fi.ru. Destruction of the Leu blown Mills by Fire* The unpleasant duty devolves upon us , this week ol' recording a most destructive fire, which broke out on Monday evening last, about 6 o'clock, in that extensive flour ing establishment known as the " LEWIS TOWN MILLS,"' located on Kishacoquillas creek, within the precincts of this borough. The energy and perseverance of JOHN STKRRKTT, Esq.. had just succeeded in finishing and putting in complete order its machinery, consisting of ten pair of burrs, smut machine, and many other modern improvements, and at the time of its de- 1 struetion was engaged in cfleeting insur ances on it. A policy for SSOOO in the Franklin was taken out some time ago ; : another for a similar amount in the Cuin : herland was received on the day the mill | burnt, and negotiations were on foot for $5,000 in a Philadelphia Companv, but unfortunately not concluded. How it originated, it is difficult to deter mine. though there can be no doubt but that friction caused it. It broke out in the upper story, and when first seen the flames j had enveloped the machinery connected with the smut machine, and in a moment ascended to the roof. We were there within a few minutes after the first alarm, v\ hen free access to the mill could be had, and although a good hose company might l/ini have extinguished it, in ten minutes later all the hose and engines within fifty miles would not have put it out. tSom" eiiorts were repeatedly made with buckets, ; but it appeared so evident its fate was sealed ' that little disposition was manifested by the crowd to go to work in earnest. After much delay the hose was brought down and attached to the nearest fire plug, but unfortunately did not reach. .Next the engine got to work, when it was discovered to be choked up or out of order, and in a few minutes thereafter it was so hot that the tire could no longer he approached.— From this time forward the structure was suffered to burn, throwing a broad glare of light over the surrounding mountains far as the eye could reach, which being covered with snow, gave them a most imposing ap pearance. The loss is severe. The mill, the largest probably in the interior of Pennsylvania, was put up at an expense of about $30,000, and as we before stated lias but SIO,OOO insurance. Fortunately the amount of grain in it was small—between 500' and 1000 bushels, a part of which was saved— the bad roads for several days previous having prevented an accumulation. Some flour and a boat load of salt were burnt. ; The gates having been opened, the forebav and portions ot the water wheels were preserved. The gable ends fell while the fire was under way, and portions of the re maining walls have fallen since. All the books and papers of value be longing to the Mill were saved. This mill was a great convenience to . our citizens, and its loss is very generally regretted, with a hope, however, that Mr. S. will again rebuild i'. Such we under stand is his intention, and arrangements are now being made to prosecute the work with all possible despatch. *We h-iva h i.t i! *vt<l • liat Oi-r" w i! a eonaulerubt* quantity of wheat on storag'' i;t addition to tlii* amount The interior of the hall of the Order of United American Mechanics on Market street, in this place, was discovered to he on fire about 10 o'clock on Wednesday night of last week, but extinguished in time to prevent any serious loss. ___ * * 1 £ v" A Shed opposite the (Jazette office, used by Mr. JOHN CLARK as a shelter for carriages, &c., fell down on Monday last in consequence of the weight of snow up on its roof. A sleigh and a buggy were slightly injured. LARGE PINE. —We learn from the Mif flintown papers that a white pine tree was cut on the 31st November, on the Shade Mountain, Lost Creek Clap, about two miles north of the Saw Mill, b\ Mr. Geo. Shoemaker, and several others, which cut two logs Itl feet each, and five logs 15 feet each. The butt of tin- tree measured 3 feet 5 inches in diameter, and the top log 18 inches in diameter. Length of the seven logs lUI feet, and leaving a top sup posed 10 or 14 feet in length. COMMITTERS <#■- THE SENATE. —The New York Tribune deems the cast of the committees of the Senate, generally, ex ccedingly sectional, and says New \ ork is represented on but one committee, while the little Slate of Arkansas is represented on six, South Carolina three, Mississippi four, Virginia lour, Louisiana four. Sen ators King of Alabama and Atchison of Missouri are each on two committees.— The South have a majority in fifteen of the committees, and the North in twelve. Three of these committees are entirely composed of southern men and two of northern. Sixteen of the chairmen are from the soiitii mul eleven from the north. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. i Previous to ihe meeting of Congress we directed a number of extras of the mes j sage to be printed for the use of our sub scribers, but much to our regret and disap pointment, they have not come to hand. In the mean time we give the following summary of its contents, and if the extras i are not received within a few days, the document will appear in our next at leugth. The Message opens with a reference to the happy and prosperous condition of the i country, and an acknowledgement of the | mercies of Clod. We are at peace with all the world. On the l*t of January next, the altera tions of the British Navigation Acts will go into effect, whereby, it is expected, great advantage will result to the commerce of both nations. The slight interruption in our diplomatic intercourse with France has been terminat ed, and our Minister has been received by that Government. Reference is made to the action taken in relation to the fitting out of the German war steamer at New York, and the cor respondence connected with it is transmit ted. The course adopted by the President lias proved satisfactory to the belligerent powers interested. As no such power as that of the German Empire has been organized, in conse quence of the failure of the German States to form a confederacy, our Minist -r, ac credited to it, has been recall* d, and the archives of the legation at Frankfort order ed to be sent to the legation at Berlin. I nder the act of ('ongress ol 2(Mh April. 18 IS, prompt action was taken to suppress the Cuban expedition. In the Key ease, also, prompt recourse was had to means for his immediate resto ration. For the crime involved in his ab duction, there is no law of < 'ongress, and it is recommended that the deficiency be supplied. Any interference in the contentions in Europe has been serupuousiy avoided. \V bile there was a prospect of the inde pendence of Hungary, an agent was held i t readiness, charged, at the earliest mo ment. to recognise her on the part of this I nion. Deep sympathy is expressed for that unfortunate people. Our claims on Portugal have assumed such a character as to demand the most se rious attention. Arnica! 1 * relations continue with the powers of Europe. Oil account of the unsettled slam of af fairs in the Papal StaUs, our Charge d'Al fairs at Home had not been aide to present his letter of credence up to last advices. . Friendly relations with Mexico are cul tivated ; and the running and marking of the boundary line is progressing. For the latter purpose an increased appropriation is requested. Counsel is asked to aid the Commission ers to settle the Mexican claims and pro tect our interests. Representations have been directed to be made to the Government of New Grenada, as will, it is hoped, make the transit ser vice of the I nited States mails across the Isthmus more speedy and efficient than it now is. The settlement of the disturbances in Venezuela given a favorable opportu nity to renew the demand upon that gov ernment for an examination into, and re dress of American grievances. The increase of our possessions on the Pacific makes it important that friendly re lations should be cultivated with neighbor ing powers, especially the Republic of Chili. A convention has been negotiated with Brazil fir the settlement of American claims. It is suggested that more efficient mea- ! sures lie taken to suppress the African slave trade. As the five States of Central America will not reunite, treaties of amity and com merce have been negotiated with some of them separately. \.s regards the etna! at Nicaragua, the opinion is expressed that it should be open to all nations, and be kept out of the pos session of any one great power. Attention is directed to the routes across the Isthmus at Tehuantepee and Panama. The Mexican government was offered a large sum for the right of way, but refused it, and the offer will not be renewed. There is reason to believe that the rail road across the Isthmus at Panama will now be successfully constructed. The desire is expressed that the Sand wich Islands should remain independent, for many reasons. The receipts into the Treasury during the fiscal year ending June 30th, were in cash, $48,8110,007 50, and in Treasury notes funded, slo,B33,ooo—making an aggregate of $50,003,047 50. The ex penditures were in all, $57,031,007 82. The expenditures of the Mexican War and the Treaty, will cause a deficit of $10,375,21 f 30 in 1851. Authority is asked to take a loan to that amount. A revision of the Tariff, with specific duties, so as to augment revenue, and pro mote agriculture and manufactures is de cidedly recommended. The establishment of a Bureau of Agri culture, to be connected with that of the Interior is recommended. The application of California for admis sion. as a State, into ihe Union is favora bly considered. The people of New .Mex ico are also expected to make a similar ap plication soon. The President deprecates the agitation of questions which tend to characterize parties by geographical dis tinction. A collector has been appointed for San Francisco, under the last Revenue Law. A portion of the Coast Survey has been ordered to Oregon to locate sites lor two Light Houses, and t, mark and place channel bIIOV The establishment of a Branch Mint in California is recommended. The organization of Commissions to 1 examine and decide on the validity of the subsisting land titles in California and New Mexico; and the appointment of Survey ors General in New Mexico, California and Oregon ; with the view of surveying and bringing ihe public lands into market, is recommended. A geological and min eralogieal exploration should fie connected with the linear surveys. Reference is made to the project of a railroad to the Pacific, in a proper lone. Earlv appropriations for River and Har bor improvements arc earnestly recom mended. The cession of territory made by the late Treaty with Mexico, has so greatly enlarged our eXjio.sed frontier, that a small increase in ihe army is necessary, and is recommended. A retired list in the Navv is rocommend cd;, The efforts to extend mail accommoda tions to California and Oregon, have, for well known reasons, partially failed. It is subinitted to the wisdom of Con gress whether the rate of postage should not be reduced to five cents. A postal treaty lias been successfully negotiated with Great Britain, hut the at ; tempt to extend it into France has not been achieved. It has not, however, been abandoned. Congress is reminded that with it, now, rests the duty of causing the Census to be taken. The remainder of the message contains , an exposition of the relative duties and privileges of three great and co-ordinate branches of government, that every patriot will read with profound pleasure. PRIM F.EDIXGB OF tONGRFNfw From the date of our last report until Saturday Congress did not succeed in effecting an organization. A committee of whigs and loeofoeos howe\er agreed that a plurality should elect, and although rejected by the locos in caucus was finally adopted in the House.

It was generally un derstood that the House would formally meet on that day, and then adjourn to meet on Wednesday of next week. Marty of the members will visit their homes during , the recess. "CALL AG HA." The Lebanon Courier is justly severe upon a certain class of bad paying people with which every town is cursed, and who are in the habit of evading the payment of their bills by the miserable request to " call again" or, " will call aroiml and all end to it." These excuses, says the editor, are the scape-goats by which those who are not willing to pay their debts de fer the matter. But the question arises, is ibis altogether honest? Is it not a palpa ble swindle ? A truly honest person will never request a creditor to 44 call again," unless he really is without the means to cancel indebtedness at once—nor will he promise to attend to it in a given time by 44 calling around," unless he actually means to keep his word. Persons who practice this game for the purpose of evading an honest claim, are soon found out, and lose caste with the business community. The creditor must be 44 green" indeed, who can not see through the shallow artifice. from faiifornia--Letter frm J. 1.

OCFOAER 6, 1649 f DEAR PARENTS ; —Brother Thomas' fa tor ol 3d June, was received on the Ith iast. 1 am thankful to inform you that 1 have not enjoyed so good health for ten years. When I arrived at the gold mines, 1 weighed twelve pounds heavier than I ever did. I never knew what hard work was until 1 came to California. My labor is picking and shoveling every day from day light till sunset. Vou may desire, as many do, to hear something ol the gold diggings in this country. W hen 1 wrote to you from San Francisco, 1 had hut little idea how gold w. s obtained. Since that time 1 have had some experience in mining, ami 1 am [■leased to add that my experience has been more profitable than that of ntanv others. When we arrived at San Fran cisco, our party thought it advisable for some ol us to go up the Sacramento river, and some up the San Joaquin. 1 being one of the party selected to go up the Sac ramento with Messrs. Smith and Hays, we went to Sacramento city, 130 miles up the river, and from thence on to the north fork , of the American branch about 10 miles, but could not do much, and we returned to join our company. But when the com pany arrived at the mines and commenced operations, they concluded that smaller parties could work to better advantage, and dissolved partnership. Messrs. Sauls bury, Scott, Campbell and \ andling form ed a company with the understanding that 1 was to join them on my return. They then left the diggins thev first went to. We are now in what is called the dry diggins, although we are on a stream, but it is almost dry. YY e have to carry the earth wo wash about half a mile on our backs to obtain water. We have to sink holes lrom 3 to 15 feet deep before we find gold, and often get none then. Each man or miner is allow ed H feet square of ground, and cannot have more than one hole at a time. This was a rule or law established by the miners when they first ; discovered the mines. We have not as yet had to sink many holes. In the two i" three we sunk, we found the precious meta 1. We sunk two parallel with each other, and when we went down about 5 feet we struck a bottom of hard, yellow • earth ; and by taking a butcher knife and picking on the top, we found gold abun dantly. \\ e then take about -1 or 6 inches : of the earth above this bottom and wash it. and frequently get a good deal out of it. ; He have a machine made after the form of what they rock babies with in old Penn sylvania, with an iron screen in it which lets the gold through from the gravel. I here are some large lumps found here. I'i e largest we have found is worth S7O, estimating it at £lO per ounce. We have been in these mines live weeks yesterday and the balance of our partners two months, and we have taken out about 30 pounds. wh( r \ I can safely say, there have been two hundred that did not make their hoarding. It is altogether a lottery. 1 have seen men come into these mines and labor hard daily for two or three weeks and not make a dollar. I have not made up my mind whether 1 shall remain in the mines this winter or not. It 1 can get a situation in some other business to clear my expenses through the rainy season, I would prefer it; but 1 think that would be hard to obtain. There are so many disappointed in not getting gold, who have left the mines and gone into the i towns to seek employment. We live hard here. Our diet is sail pork, pilot bread, beans, tea, coffee and sugar. Pork is 50 cents per pound; bread 50. sugar 50, tea £1 50 a 2 00, beans 15 cents, and beef 37.1. Our house is made of poles aud brush, and our bed is oak leaves and pine branches with a blank et or two. .So much for California life. NY c are in a most splended little valley about 11 miles in length, and the same in liieadm. \\ e are 240 miles from a post ofhee and SO miles from any town. A little town called Stockton is at the head ol water navigation. Enclosed I send you a sample ol gold. Write often and direct to Sun Francisco, California. \ "tir most affectionate Son, J. M.
