Kr. Benton made a speed' a few days ago upon
the California bill against the proposition to sell
Mineral lands in two Acre lots, as no two lots`of
, that size would be alike. The value can only be
told by digging, and many two acres will contain
no gold, and many patches of twenty or thirty
feet square will contain a rich deposit. The ob.
ject is to fifid it, and that is to be done
_by taunting'
'
for which permits are required and protection in
_ -the discovery. The following remarks upon the
gold washings are interesting: •
"These washings are called in Spanish placer,
from ;the Latin plaecre, to please; because it IS a
pledging thing to find the shining gold under ones
feet.' But it is a transient pleasure. There is no
fee simple inR; there is not even a life estate in
it;'net even a lease fora year, a month, a - week,
or a day,' The pleasure is. soon 'gone. Eichitasited
placers now,exist in New, Mexico, ormerly yield
" jug much, now some twenty-five or fifty cents a
day, and , only pursued by- the poorest Mexicans.
Regular mining has followed there, and is now
yielding considerable quantittes: These Washings
of California are marvellodsly rich, tor we.have to
believe what is certified to us by so many witnes
.. ses: but they hie not the richest that ever were
_seen. 'Far from it. Thoie of Brazil, in the moun
tains, back of Rioianero, in the, time of Lord An
son's voya.e, say one hundred years ago, were far .
..richer; and yet they have been exhausted so long
that all memory of them is lost, and their history
, only llvedin old hooks. Two millions sterling—
, ten'millions of dollars—were: annually sent to Ea
', rope, for years; from these washings. They were
- worked by stave..s, who, to secure their fidelity and
industry, were usually all Owed bytheir ',masters
all the proceeds, of the day above a given amount; .
.. and in that way many: slaves . became rich, Pur-,
chimed their freedom, and then bolight slaves of
their own, lived in , sPlendor and opulence, and laid
•the-foundation of families. Yet these Waslaings
- are exhausted time out of mind; and so Will be
• 'these of California, the sooner the better: lam 'a
friend to a gold ea.itrency, but not to gold mining.
abatis a pursuit which the. experience of nations
- Shows,te be both impoverishing and demoralizing
= to a tuition, I 'egret that we have these - mines in
:California bet they are there, and I.aai for getting
rid of them as soon as possible. Make the - werli:
ink es free as possible. Insteed of hoarding, and
. holding them up, and selling in_driblets, lay their'
-. open to industry and enterprise. Lay them open
to natural , capital—to labor—to the man that has
stout arms and a willing heart. Give him a fair
' chance. Give all a fair chance. It is no Matter

Might Louis Napolean, the first President of the
French republic, say, "but circumstaneeshave made
me a republiban and a President"- This would
, seem to be, the hest commentary, and the hriefest;
that can be made on the present "
position of the
French'republic. The new President has been in augerated, and his address will be found in our col

made an exposition of their policy, and it corm,
ponds with the views"of Louis Napoleon himself.
,Some of the circumstances attending his inaugura
tion are quite :theatrical, but - in keeping with the
taste ofthe French people. We allude prin ci pally.
to his offering his band to Gen. Cavaignae, - and
the reciprocal compliments which 'passeiWetween
him and his defeated opponent. All the Opposing
; parties eeein to be hushed for the present; but there,
are symptoms of a formidable democratic oppo
sition to the new government. The opposition,
however; is part and Parcel of the action of repub

in the NatiOnal Assembly, as in the journals of the
day. - With a free press, universal suffrage, an al
--most equal divisiorr-of property, and,the absence
;-feudal restrictions, we - still think that the govern.
ment of Louie: Napoleon can, under no circum
stances, overthrow the French republie,oeprevent
the progress of- democratic institutions
_in that
country, or their influence over Europe. The
rise in' the funds, the general quiet in Paris and
throughout .the provinces, seem to strengthen this
view of the present position of France, The pros.
pect therefore, is fair—N. Y. Herald.

Rail , Roads, Plank 'Roads, &e.
The project of a rait road, and alio of a plank
road from Washington 'to - Pittshargh, as well at a
rail road from our Borough to the varionscoal banks
in its vicinity, seem at present to occupy a consider
able portion of public'attention, and with a view of
testing in, SQMO tangible shape, the opinions and
wishes of our citizens in the premises, we have been
requested by several persons to call a public meet
ing at the Court House. We' are not 'disposed' to
assume the responsibility of doing so, however,but
shalt moat cheerfulli publish' such a 'call " at any
time; provided there be appended thereto the signs
tures of a few of our responsible citizens • and
moreover, the column of The Commonwea lth,"
will be freely opened to the discussions of these in
terestingend important Subjects.—Washington Com
monwealth:
far We believe that a survey of the country be.
tween Pittsburgh and Washington, wa made sev
eral years since, with the view of establishing a
Rail' Road between the two . places ; but we think
-nothing definite in regard to.the matter`subsequent
ly transpired., We have understimd that the survey
was made at the, instance of the citizens of Wash-
Tr the field notes are still in existence, we
presume the feasibility or the project might be de
termined without incurring the expense of another
survey.
It ie our belief, however, that a' good Plank Road
- between the two places, :would be of more real
benefit to the region 'of country through which it
would pass, than.a Rail Road. Rail Roads do very
well to connect commercial' -and manufacturing
cities, at a distance from each other ; or to trans-
port the minerals of the earth to the places of con
sumption, when horse-power
.is inadequate to the
task. Every farmer between here and Washington
will Imola a glance the importance of a Plank
Road, which can be kept in good repair without
much trouble or expense, and will be open at all
hours of the day, and all seasons of the year, for
:vehicles of every description, and for traders, trav
elers and pedestrians.
Mr. Clay and General Taylor.
The New Orleans papers, of the 13th, announce
the arrival of Mr. Clay in thatcity, the day previous,
having nearly if not quite recovered from the effects
of his late severe illness, though somewhat thinner.
He had a hasty interview with Gen. Taylor during
the short time the boat stopped at Baton Rouge,
. which is thus described by the Delta. We copy it
,for the benefit of our Whig readers :
" When. tbe Princess stopped at Baton Rouge, the
passengers among whom was Mr. Clay, were all sit
ting -at djuner. it happened that= General Brooke
and Colonel' Taylor`were coming doWn to the city,
and, concluding to take the Princess they came
aboard, accompanied by -General Taylor. As the
General passed by the dinner table, he recognized
Mr. Clay, and , bowed to him ; but Mr. Clay not ap 7
nearing to recognize him, a gentleman at Gig table
rerrkiked,-1. Mr, 'Clay, that is General Tay
lor." «Is it ejaculated Mr.,Clay, with surprise and
pleasure in his countenance; and irnmediaty leav
ing hie dinner, walked into the social hall, and with
that warm frankness and earnestness characteristic
of him, e,ztended.his hand to the general, who grasp-.
ed it very warmly and shook it very energetically.
fir: Wtiy~ General,p pleasantlyremarked Mr. Clay,
kt yen have grown out•of my recollection PI
You can never grow out of mine,” was the rea
dy response of the general, 'whose countenance
heamed with warm regard, and whose good-natured
wrinkles almostobscured his bright and benevolent
eyes....
4, I congratulate yob, General, on your election
to the Preridency ; and I hape your administration
may be as successful and glorious as your , military
career, 4 4 remarked Mr. Clay.
~ thank you, Mr:Clay ; but lem not President
yet.--and--44
Here Mr. Clay, perceiving that the General's mo
desty was about to get the better of him, broke in
with some playful remark, which led to. a general
and most agreeable conversation- between the two
'distinguished gentlemen.
The captain of the Princess, not willing to inter
nipt so, pleasant a reunion of two old friends, detain—
ed the boat for some time. Finally, however, the
General and Mr. Clay parted, with expressiona of
mutual esteem, and a hope that they might soon meet
again.
Prom the Gold Region.
The New York Herald professes to have authen
tic letterafrom Monterey, with dates to November
16, brought by the schooner IV . . E. Collins, Captain
Jarvis, which left Vera Cruz on the 3tl instant, arri
ved on the 11th instant at Now Orleans, and prom
ises to publish the documents to-day. ' That paper
I .We cannot hesitate to declare that from the
statement made by our correspondent, there aro
strongreasona for believing that all the government
• officers now in Califorrileare digging for gold, night
and day, and that when-they leave that country
many of them wiliprobably be worth a million of
dollars. Governor Mason and all his officers, men,
• mules, and wagons,'with the exception or two or
three men who wero obliged remain at Monterey,
at head -quarters, have been three times at the gold
diggings, up the •Sacrainento, engaged in the most
active manner, in collecting the metal, - which was
found to the greatest abundance. Oar correspon
dent 'also states that lumps of gold of a pound
weight have been; frequently found, and pieces can
be dug out of the crevices of rocks ;, thatit ,is the
most wonderful country ever yet ifiecovered. In
confirmation or these statements, he writes, by a
private letter, under his own signature, which, if
,known #otild command the belief of the. most in-'
credidius community the; sun ever sheen upon.—
Wo also lenrn that Col. Stevenson, formerly of New
yaik; jECfiguring wonderfully in California. His
regime:ale -disbanded, end the whole of them are
DOW engagedin the gold diggings. Our correspon
dent is of opinion' that should operations go on in
the• same ratio they have. begun, upwards,of ono
hondred millions of dollars will be annually col
lected in califoreht.
From these and other statements mention'ed in
our correspondence from Monterey, which are guar
anteed by
.the respectability of the character and
name of the writer, wear& disposed to believe that
some of; thirptories current here relative to the im
mense wealth of, some of the officers of the United
States azinyitiCalifornia,, are not far from the truth.
Lp has been rumored thatCol.Stevenson ha's now in
,his possession one million of dollars' of gold dust,
and that his family are so.on,expected to, go out to
him. It is also reported. that Captain Marcy, son
of the Secretary of Won, has obtainedi as his share
ot, the dust, one million. of dollars. These rumors
are not referred to le our correspondence; but from
the general statement tif our correspondent, it is
highly probable they are. not much.exaggemted.

Bishop ,0 1 0ontkerts Lecture.
The Lecture of Bishop ()Termer, before the
Young Menls Mercantile Library rind. Mechanics' ,
Institute, at Appollo Hall, lastevening, was listen
ed to by a large, intelligent - arid lalghlyt delighted
audience. Hie subject was the Influence of Chris
tianity upon Slavery. .The theme ittorded , the le
turer a fine egoitunity to display hitiprefonrid-c
-er-
udition and noble' benevolence. His discourse was
altogether historical.' He gave an interesting ac
count of the origin of Slavery, end depicted, in
strong, but truthful ;languake, the inhuman and_
revolting treatment eitended to that unfortunate
part of creation who were held in bondage in ancient
times..:.But in progress of time, the Lecturer show
ed, Christianity, the child of Heaven, raised her
voice in opposition to the accursed 'system, and it
was not long until the condition of the enslaved
was greatly ameliorated. .
At one time,"the greater portion of the population
of all Italy and Greece were slaves, but through the
influence of the Church, the foul stain was wiped
from existence. • The'LeCturer said he did not wisli
to tread on ground 'which peculiarly belongs to the
statesman, In regard to this 'question in the 'United
States; bat he ,declared that a wide field is open
for the Christian. If slavery cannot be abolished,
without interfering with existing rights, the eondition
of the enslaved can, at least, be greatly improved•
yhey can be treated as human beings, who have
preCious souls to be saved.
We - have neither time nor room this morning to
give
such a synopsis of Bielsop OTOnner7ll Lecture,
as would do justiCe to that learmed and excellen t
gentleman. We trust, however, that the members of
the Institution before whom it was delivered; will
have it published in pamphlet form' for . general cir
culation. .
Clinton Bank of Columbus.
The Cleveland Plaindealer learns through tlie of
cers of the Brunch of the State Bank of Ohio, in that
city, that the recent reports in circulation touching
the standing of the Clintonillank of Columbus are
without foundation. At the late meeting of the Bound
of Control, (says tbalpapori,gbibanic, at the reque'at
of its o ffi cers, was thoroughly . examined bye coitc
mince from its members, and reported as not only
perfectly solvent, but as possessing some fifty thou
sand dollars surplus; beyond paying all Ind debts,
losses and liabilities: Its notes aro received at par
by all the banks id the State. The Layfayetto Bank
of Cincionatf and Bank of Massillon, are also bank-
able throughout the State and coniddered perfectly
good.
Homestead Exemption.
Gov: Edwards, of Missouri, comes out in his late
message, in favor of htnestead exemption. As this
is a subject on`which ere is considerable interest,
we give the arguments of the Governor :
Of a piece with these Jaws, Is that exempting
from sale under execution, the hothestead of the
poor man. From my earliest recollection, wisdom
and humanity have seemed to me to unite in recom
mending such a law in the code of every nation. It
is apparently a small matter, but 'a most important
one to the large Mass. The father and husband
may be a sot and a spendthrift , ; or lie may have lost
all from dres,shipwreck or other visitations of Prov
idence ; or he may have. been unfortunate in trade ;
tied in every case broken down with age, distress
or disease ; or he may have sacrificed all by too
generously endorsing for his friends; and he mar still
be in debt. To labor in such a ease, under our
laws, is nearly-a hopeless task. If a man makes, at
any time, more than the law exempts from sale un
der execution, it'is liable to be seized and sacrificed
—sold for half—a fohrth or tenth of its value, and
this would be no benefit to the creditor, and there
fore every man would refuse to make such a surplus,
and thus his labor would be lost to himself, and his
family,- and his country. But if tho man had a
home that was his own, he could work upon that—
his location would be fixed-142nd the payment of hit
debt would be rendered more certain.
