Washington Irving says: "We nre not informed whether Washington bad met with her before, probably not during her widowhood. We have shown that with all his gravity and leservc, he was quick, susceptible to female charms, and they may have bad a greater ellecl upon him when thus casutiliy ciicoiiiileii'd. At any rate, bis hem t up-a ura to have been taken by surprise." Washington spent some time in Wil liaiusbiltg. and bad fiviiucnt opportunity j to visit Mrs. Custis. who resided at the i White House. Mr. living thinks he hur- lore, his linet opportunity to the utmost. The blooming widow had many suitors, but Washington was blessed with that reliowu so ennobling in the sight of w oman. In a i word, before they separated they mutually ; pliglileii llietr luilli, ami llietr m trrutgu was to take place as soon as IIIO campaign ncau. nicy uio peculiar peopie n, coii of Fort Duquesne was at an end." Kmeiated mass of all nationalities, creeds, Washington had showed tbo dillidence ! tongues, color and conditions of men. oflove. and aulleriiig by it; now he ixltib - its the heroism of love. About a yeur and a half after their first interview, Mrs. Marina Curtis became Mrs. Marlha Washington. They were married at the White House, the residence of the bride, Januaiy 0, 17'iS. The marriage was ono of uncommon splendor ; the wealthy, the gay und the fashionable were there in crowds. What a splendid bridegroom ! What a beautiful bride I They were not onlv married at the While House, but there was an unusual amount of white displayed ; white dresses, white veils, while tibbous, white gloves, and wbit3 vests. There never was a more suitable couple united since the lirst mar riage in Eden. At tbo wedding there was wealth and beauty, courtesy and gallaulry, wisdom and wit. U was long remember ed.

Martha Washington is one of those per- ' suns whom we (.,ui contemplate with ever increasing; delight, no matter whether you yiew her ns the tjtieen of Mount Yenioii, ; in the soldier's camp, or in the house of the President.

For instance, we have a law pro hibitiug gambling, ye on Sunday, when ! the few go to i chureU,'fhe many visit our gambling saloons, iu these saloons, on all days in Ihe week, game are openly dealt.

The few have finally scaled the mountain of promise and now live Butupluously upon the fruits of their labor. California is quite a different State to what it was twelve years ago. 'Then we bad no railroads, and it was a live month's trip from the Missouri river to thu land of gold. Now, 'tis but a pleasant trip, of less than a fortnight, from here to the city of New York. Then most of our people was engaged in minimr in the placer diggings, and were rewarded handsomely fur their labor. Money was then plentiful, aud ev ery body contented and happy. Now the Placer mines are mostly worked out. The few that nre now worked pay but compara tively "light," and are in the bauds ol Chi nee companies. Most of our people are now engaged in farming and quaru mining. The latter requires considerable capital, so they are in the bauds of capitalists. The. farming land is princ pally in large tracts, and also owm d by well to do men, so that the laboring classes having been very pro fligate w en money was plenty, now tind themselves poor, and obliged to work at re duced wages. The introduction of Chinese cheap labor has cans, d. aud will ciituiuo to cause, treat dissatisfaction uiuonj; our people.
