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.

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.

£ 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

The House met on Monday at the usual
hour, and after swearing in the members,
and appointing the customary committees
to wait on the President, to inform him ol
its organization, the message soon after was
delivered ami read in both Houses. Some
business, of an unimportant character, was
tin n transacted, when the House adjourned
mer till Thursday. 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.

California . 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.
