Of the battle-field he's come, Where his ralor has won him a glorious wreath ; And gladly we welcome him home. He has been far away where the billows beat On Mexico's wild arid shore; He has fearlessly faced the cannon's month, • 'Mid the battles deaf'n tog roar. - Brave was his heart and strong was his hand; Firmly and daintily he stood. While the.heralds of death on each passing breeze • Swiftly and wt Idly rode. When the dead were strewn o'er the gory ground When his comrades fell by his side, His spirit quailed not, but "on to the tight! On! on.! we'll avenge them!" he cried. He has left many brave and noble hearts MI still on the battle-ground, %% here blood in their country's cause has gushed Through many a ghastly wound. He left the-joys of a happy home, And all'of us brilliant train And the re.itlecs waves of the ocean bore Him away to the battle-plain.

The project for assembling a Convention to draft a State Constitution, to be submitted to the people for ratification, has now advanced so far toward a certain accomplishment, that we feel it our duty to offer a few suggestions relative to its composition, and the principles Which should govern in selec ting its members. We never had, and have not now, any desire to..become a politician in the sense in which the word is usually understood, but we confesi. that it is a cherished Wish with us to ad. vance the true interests of California. We desire to see her take that rank which her commercial position on the Coast of the Pacific, her untold min end wealth, and her great agricultural resources, point out as her destiny ; and we desire that she on whom all eyes are turned, and from whom so much is expected, should not seem ignorant of her own illimitable resources, nor prove tecreant to the great principles which 'were the first political lessons of her citizens, and which the world expects her tcf avow and to maintain. Every person appears to be convinced that the Slavery question under the complexion that it now , wears in the Atlantic States, defeated. the numer ous attempts made in the last Congress to give to California a territorial organization, and all men ought to be as firmly assured that unless the citi zens of California settle that question for them selves, and do s 6 at once, that it will prevent, defeat, or at least protract, for some years to come, the es tablishment of any government in the country. In dependent of the moral consideration which weigh so heavily against Slavery, and which we have nei ther time nor room to repeat, as a matter of expedi erry—as a means of . givitie to this country a goy . eniment—it is necessary that the people' should insert in their Constitution a clause forbidding the introduction of negro or other Slavery. The high est, noblest acts of humanity demand it—the pro gressive doctrines of Republicanism cannot be matntained,without it—and the interests of the mass, the people—those who dig and delve, and earn I their bread, and learn self-respect and enterprise from the necessities of labor—render itimperative. There must be no slurring over or avoiding the question. The South have contended that it is a question which should be left to the citizens of each State to decide, and they cannot comp:ain if we de cide against it; while the North have asserted that it was a principle with them which . they are bound to maintain at any and all hazards, and that, there fore, they can never consent to the extension of Sla very into California. True, the men who are most vociferous are probably the least sincere ; but the political character of the question has become such that the great controlling mass of the North would undoubtedly agree with and sustain their Represen tatives We do not fear to assert, then, thiii a State Con stituuon for Califcmia, which does not contain a provision against Slavery, will never be allowed to go into effect by the Congress of the United States, and We are still more firm in our convictions that the people of California would never approve such a document. It then follows, that the people of the different districts, in the.r primary meetings, must see that their opinions in this matter are expressed and un derstood No man should go to the Convontion whose feelings on this subject are unknown, and whose views do not coincide with the majority of those whom he represents ; and every proper effort should therefore be made to accomplish this result. We abhor proscription. but we feel, at the same time, that great interests are at stake, which call for vigilance, firmness, and above all, a fair and full expression of public sentiment. Let us but have this, and the consequences will not be re g retted. There are other minor particulars on which the primary meetings should express their opinions, and in r eg ard to which the principles' of their rep resentativfti in the Convention shoold be known.— Among these are: I. The return by the U. S. of the duties collected in California since the peace, to be made a gereral fund for the support of a State Government. 2. The limitation of the amount of the espendi. titre to be made in any one year for internal and BATTY other improvements. 3. The basis for the establishment of banking or other incorporation& 4. The prohititioa of imprisonment ftrr debt. 5. The rightslot married women to theirindivid ual property, acquired before or after eoverture. 6. The rtht•of universal sufferage. 7. The establishment of a Branch t S. Mint, in California, the net proceeds o 1 which ithardd be del voted to the support of a State Government. 8. The manner in which the mines 'should be disposed of—whether surveyed and sold, or held as common property, to be worked by permits to be given alone to American -citizens, or to all wbo may apPly 9. Whether or not the revenue derived from the mines over and above all expenlitores on their ac count, should be devoted to the support of a State Government. 10. Whether the public lands should eely be sold to actual settlers and soldiers, or to all who choose • to pumbase. 11. The. passage of a law by the next. Congress appoiting a Commissioner to audit and immedi ately pay the California claims. On many of the subjects above menti;oned, the expressions of the primary meetings would have a decisive eflect, while on the others they could not fail to carry great weight, and to meet with respect. We have no dispointion to obtrude our own opin ions cet these subjects upon the public, bat et a fu ture day we may deem it our:duty so to do. Mein time, the object we have in view will *raked if we can elicit and embody public sentiment on these and kindred matter& In the ateerme of all, piny distinctions, it has heretofore been found diSzah to .hirsoonize and PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY, AT TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, ?Ar t BY E.

It scents to us that this plan is both feasible and proper, and we recommend it to the favor of the public, with a reiteration of the wish for a harmo nious movement under the banner of " EV LaTTIIISO FOB THE CAVIST.." THE PLACER. From the Placer Tunes, May 26. The arrival at our landing of a fleet of barks, brigs, schooners, and smaller sail during the week has tilled the streets with strangers, given to trade a new impulse. and revived the general business aspect of the place. The new comers are almost to a man bound for the Placer, and encamped along through the cool woodland skirting the water, they may be encountered whithersoever one wan ders. It bespeaks the intensity of the excitement created abroad by the gold disco% eriesot this coon try to witness the magnificent mistakes scale a; on which the cows have prepared for openuing the mines. All the absurd and outlandish inventions, the ill applied contrivances, new-tangled works, and novel implements to facilitate the finding and gathering of gold ; all the =saleable, refuse and musty trash from quid corners of store shelves; an tiquated wares, trappings, trinkets\-in short, every variety of useless article, it would atcrear, has been shipped to " try its fortune ,in California." That this is the fee, any one who has quieted Within him the grasping after gain sufficiently to beSfow a few moments attention upon things around, par. attest. And instead of going sensibly to work anti com mining such rubbish to the river'scurrent. " where it will be very likely to go down," qpite deter minedly, the owner or agent will make 'his camp in the midst and quite philosophically will await the chances of trade ; and with a manifestation of the must complete stoicism, his notions are dieted for sale at paces that not unfrequently lead one to almost doubt the sanity of the vender. However, the altogether false impressions of this El Dorado market under which so many of the petty, specula tive operators of the East arrive and renew their pitiful process of money getting, very happily for all, soon wear away. But with the worthless and -unwieldy machinery for gold washing should the new corner set out for the Placer. Here he will discover that freight has been paid on a Cape Horn passage of unserviceable material; for his machi nery is perfectly innocent of any gold washing qualities, and after all, goklwashing is hard work, and fortunes are not to be made in a day. To pre vent, then, the disheartening consequences attend ant upon such an unproepered termination of their long voyage, strangers had best accept, as they will find of service, the following information. They have been advised to visit the placer, and at once, that a correct idea may be derived of a gold washer's laborious vocation. During the pres ent season the floods, it will 'be observed, cover the richest washings, and numbers remain idle in consequence. Companies are forming for turning the streams at diflerent points, who upon perfecting their plans, encamp:on the spot where it is propos ed to execute them, and their rights are acknowl edged and scrupulously respected by their fellow laborers. The individual claim, which is Likewise one of preemption, of the gold washer u similarly regarded. There is seldom an encroachment, and disturbances from this cause do not frequently cc cur. The new comer, if he would Share the suc cess of the body of those who at present wash for gold, must adopt the system practiced so generally, conform to the customs of the fraternity, of gold hunters, and labor with diligence in the strait and safe path marked oat by experience. Discarding the visionary schemes of an over-wrought mind, and divesting himself of the worthless weight of material—evidences of man's folly, or phrmsy ei ther, and ignorance of matters in this Et Dorado— he should prepare foe the fortunes and reverses of a practical goldwasher's life. He will encounter fatigue and privation, but with due attention to the preservation of health, he is soon secure against one of the worst issues that can befal hisadventine, that of premature disappointment During the week several arrivals from the Pla cer bare occurred. In every quarter where labor is performed, those employed appear to be very well rewarded. A report reached this place a few days since that new gold discoveries bad been made on the Sacramento River near its head wa ters, and about 200 miles distant nom this point; it is quite probable that each is the but as wash ings were found high up on this stream last Suitt mer. The gold was discovered in fine grains, and scarcely in abundance sufficient to repay the labor of exacting by the usual process. The late tains in this valley proved snow and bail to the moan tain &Clem, and thatch the cool weather of late caused the firers to tall, at last accounts they were rapidly rising again. A gentlemaniene the Amer ican River Dry Diggings informs es that large cessions to to the numbers already employed there have taken place of Isle. This deposit is about 50 miles from this place ; work commenced in April last, and since the gold has been found overa large extent of country. There are those at present Ise boring who average Stoo per day ; in most caries the yield is from one to moon:ices. The diggings are about four miles from the river, and lathe beds Or sides of ravines, which now contain. water but .atts later period are entirely. dry. There _who are employed is-working the beds divert the cootie of therotream with little difficul ty. Hundreds have been floeking to the Middle Fork during the month; encampments stretch along the banks of the river to the extent of the gorge; numbers are at work and - doing well. The feeling against foreign labor in the Placer appears to be pretty strong. It is at this time chiefly di rected against the Chilean subjects, who are found in great numbers upon the San Joaquin tributaries. They are expert washers and a life of servitude, together with exposure to a hot climate has well fitted them 'or labor on the slopes of Sierra Neva da. Abnnt forty of these people who had coma upon the washing ground of the North Fork were escorted from thence by a party of our country men, and informed that their presence would not be tolerated in that vicinity, at least. A correspon dent• writing from the -Natoma mines, American River. says: Weather exceedingly hot here -river on the rise again. If this weather continues two weeks longer the river will be down to a low stage, and miners here and on the North Fork can then readi ly make from four to six ounces per day. No less than six canal operations -are under way within ten miles of this place, and all bid fair to be pro fitable operations."

" Yon don't say!" in a voice betraying how nearly he had yielded to despiir, " and who'll buy them, and how will they use them !" " Never use anything else if they once get to see them.— Why, stranger, I've seed some canions in my day, but never was obleege, d to sit woman-like on a man's saddle before, to save my neck in going up the side hill."

Gordo tee remem ber the habit ascribed by the Ledger to Mi. Adams though we doubt not to correctness of the Ledger's statement, for that *son. In the few interview: it was our privilege ; to have with Mn. .Ailatris f wet were too much absorbed by the interest we feh in his richeourersation, to notice the practice referred to it existed: " This is an important matter, yet easily obtained by this simple ride : When the sight is too shot*, close the eyes, press the fingers gently outward from nose across the eyes. Short sight is caused by too great boundness of the eyes, and rubbing or wiping therm from the inner towards thew outward angles, flattens them and thus lengthens or extends their angle of visicnt. But tong as sight is catered by tad too great flatness of the eyes, passing the towel trout the outward angles inwardly, rounds them np, and thus preserves the sight.' By this simple means all persons can adjust their sight to their liking, PO as to read without gtasses' just' as well when old as young The valne'of this know ledge is second only to that of sight. Bronson is at present the leading promulgitor of this idea, and claims to have discovered it. it man be original with him yet was known long before Bronson's birth.

Ford tried it, and soon res toted his sight perfectly and has since preserved it by the continuance of this practice. On this point the Philadelphia Ledger remarks as follows : RESTORATION OF Saiair.—The Boston Traveller give some interesting accounts of experiments made by Professor Baum in removing imperfec tions of sight produced by ag e or malfonnation.— —Axording to the Tra ller, old people . have been enabled to lay aside their spectacles, and people of all ' a2es, who suffered. from short sight, have been e itirely cured".—The Traveller says that Prof. Bronson is the author rtf those dis coveries, and that his practice -consists entirely in manipulation. Professor Mason is well known in this and other cities, as a lecturer on elocution, and has opened an office in New Tort, for medical practice upon the eie in which we wish him falc- Ce!Le. But while giving credit' to Prof. Bronson for his etlorts in doing good and while admitting that his method of treating the eye: is original with him. self, we do not admit that he was the first discov erer. The very treatment ascribed' to him for yes ; torus decayed sight, was discovered long agn by John Quincy Adams and successfully practiced on himself. This is not the only case in which scien tific men hare made the same discovery w'ith out any communication with each other. Dr. Franklin in Philadelphia and Dr. Igetihouse in Si Petersburg, without any knowledge of • each other, made simulaneaus discoveries in eb;ctricity. There fore we do not wonder at Professor Bronson's dis covery concerning the eYes, without any hint from Mr. Adams who had made the same discovery. Mr. Adams di.l not communicate his distorrery to the world but mentioned it incidentally, and as of wrest importance, to two at three in the course of his life: We certainly wonder st him sad them for not perceiving its general taßity. Mr. Adams never wore spectacles, his sight enduring to the last. Yet those who remember him in private con versation,may remember his habit, while Listen ing of annivalating his eyes with his fingers, by passing them gently over the surface, from the ex temal to the internal angle. ' The decay of sight that is remedied by unit= spectacles, is caused by gradual abeorbtion of the human, or relaxation of the costa, rendering the transparent cornea lens cover.. The manipulation or gentle pie perhaps by stimulating the mats and thereby causing them to contract, restores the original perfection of:stk. In rubbing or wiping the eyes, we naturally pass the hand or towel aver the convex tartan from the internal angle. This diminishes the convexity, and thus promo t es the decay of sight, and therefore should be easefully avoided. The pressure, whether in wiping or soars should proceed, in eyes orOndly perfect, from the eiternal angle. Short sight remediedYby concave glasses, is caused by sodas convexity of the external cornea, wtmther,coespotial or maw ed by dome.
