Reswrce3 of California.
The Son Francisco Courier, undertaking
l.t explain Low it is that San Francisco is
able to sus'ain herself under the many
fcfilictions which have visited her in the
form of couflagtratiuns, pays that the ma
jority of ihe buildings destroyed are con
structed in the cheapest plan possible, and
when they burn down, they are rebuilt
in the course of from three to ten days.
The resources of the country are so abun
dant, that it is morally impossible to des
troy the trade and commerce of the city.
In fact, if San Francisco were partially
destroyed every mouth, it would not ma
terially cripple its trade or lessen the pop
ulation aui products of California, It
adds
"Our resoun es are permanent and almost
inexhaustible. The real wealth of this
Commonwealth has hardly began to bo
developed. We are uow able to send to
the Atlantic States senii-nnnthly, about
two millions of dollars, through our ex
press, banking an 1 commission houses,
while private individuals carry with them I
at least five hundred thousand every stea
mer. This would make the amount ship
ped to the Atlantic States per annum
fc'-'7,G00,OUO. We send to Europe per
month at least 81,800,000. This would
malic the amount sent to Europe 520,000,
000. Allowing that twelve hundred thou-ta-.il
pur mouth goes to Mexico, South
Auurica. Australia, and other inlands of
the Pacific, the East Indies and Oregon,
.!.-. -n ei.t aiia min i
The whole sum, therefore, of ths gold
product solely exported from this State
per annum to the several countries men
tioned above, is SS9,C0O,00O.
For currency and for commercial and
general business purposes, we retain iu the
State at least $45,U00,000, whkh makes
the annual product of gold 134,660,000.
This does not include the quicksilver and
silver ore,exportcd to our own and foreign
countries. These facts show that the ac
;ual products of this State are equal to any
live States of the Union. There is no
pr Ability of California suffering much
with such tremendous resources."
Telegraph Across the Atlantic.
A Mr. Reynolds, of New York proposes
to construct a telegraphic communication
across the Atlantic at cost of $3,600,000.
lie thinks the plan praticablc and safe,
and sets forth that the distance between
Cape Canso, above Halifax, on the Ameri
can coa.t,and the nearest point in Ireland,
nesr Gal way, is about 1 ,000 miles along
the bank of Newfoundland, which are
known to extend within 100 miles of the
coast of Ireland, at an average depth of
800 feet.
wires perfectly insulated in a cord of gutts
p.-rcha of the size purposed, would last
hundreds of years, as the insulating sub
stance is indestructible in water, and has
in water, and has strength equal almost to
iron. Such a line would weigh about 10,
090 tons, and would require about 1,500
tons of iron anchor. The cost cf every
'.rg, when in complete working order,
v n.id be less than $3,000,000. Such a
: i.e would do more to adv ance intelligence,
true liberty and the interest of the people,
jhau ttriything hitherto achieved iu the
way of "obliterating time and space."

Improve! Gate.
Mr. Ashley Uotchkins, of Schenevus,
Otsego Co., New-York, has invented a
very excellent improvement in gates,
whereby in a simple manner, a gate will
swing open both ways, according to the
'Jirction in which it is swung. It com
. ':ied also the self closing priuciple along
" h its quality of swinging both ways,
' leaking it one of the most desirable
' ;atcs and a great improvement. Mea
sures have been taken to secure a patent.
A couple of "limbs of the law," who
were conducting a suit bfore a Justice in
Rochester, got incensed at each other,
aud finally came to blows. The "court" tat

fir disturbing his honr, but the Justice,

Arrival of Gypsies.
It in Mid a band of Gypsies lately landed
at New York, among the immigrants bro'i
from Europe by an emigrant ship. They
are now encamped with their covered wag
ons, in (he neighborhood of Huboken, and
repoit themselves from the vicinity of Dur
ham i n i New Cast!. , England. The wo
men and children are caid to posses the
peculiar physical features of their 'range
rice, having slender figures and an abun
dance ol black hair. The men pursue the
business of linkers, and the females cook
i heir meals by fires made in the open air.
It is probab'e that we are indebted for this
odd importation of humanity to the in
creased facilities for immigration a (forded
by steam navigation ; and should this
small nucleus of a new race of people which
we have acquired io these Gypsy immi
grants be enlarged by accessions here
after, it may be reserved to (he United
Slates to solve the problem whether it is
possible, under any form of social and po
litical institutions, to amalgnma'e with
oilier races a strange order ol cosmopolites,
who have, immemorially, been nomadic in
habit, and intolerant of any admixture w ith
a d.tTtrrent people.

The Address of Rev. J. LansiDg Bur

horribly crushed by the fall, but lived for
twelve hours after.

Mr. Buchanan spoke with all his wonted
religious freedom as the crowning glories
of our country assured his hearers that,
although not a church-member, no person
could believe more firmly than himself in
the truth and the blessings of Christianity,
and of its necessity in connection with ed
ucation to sustain a good government and
constitute a happy and virtuous people
exhorted the students to life-long indus
try, assuring them that a college-educated
dunce was only the more conspicuously a
dunce; that if they did not persovcre in
studious habits, many who had only com
mon school advantages would outstrip
them in the race of life for honor and pre
ferment; that classical education was of
vast importance in disciplining the mind ;
aud that of tho few great men he had
known who were not blessed with early
advantages as most before him were, he
knew not one who had not sincerely and
deeply lamented his early deprivation in
that respect. He alluded to the enterprise
of the University at Lewisburg as evident
ly well founded, aud promising most bene
ficial results ; approved the policy of every
denomination establishing for themselves
educational interests; and Loped that not
only the Baptists probably the most nu
merous denomination in the United States,
and he came very near saying something
about " orthodoxy," but that was not iu
his line but that every religious commu
nity would go on, erecting seminaries of
learning of every grade, aud making all
proper efforts to create and continue a sanc
tified literature and good morals in com
munity. Painful Rumor.

attend the Commencement exercises to
morrow, issue this paper one day in advance.
The Editor pro tern, is inclined to think
the highly colored sketch of Col. Biglcr's
progress, in last week's paper, was an error,
and that Gov. Johnston's election was in
tended to be predicted ; but as he was then
absent, and has not the copy to refer to, he
is not positive. At any rate, all the W higs
and some Democrats here arc of opinion
that Gov. Johnston gained more tl an he
lost by Col. Bigler's visit to Union county.

THAT INEQUALITY, AGAIN.
Mr. Editor: My first communication,
showing the resall of the triumph of the
Woods' faction in this county, has had an
effect rather beyond my hopes. It has
stirred up a nest of indignnnt ' r ght or
wrong" partiz ins. and effected at least
two translocations -one thai of a nun
committal, " liKe-lheni-both-and can't go
ngainst either man into a champion of
old Ner's election (against a ncighoor and
better friend) as an act of " Juic :" and
the other, that of a Free Soil Yankee
schoolmaster into a "Jour. Shoemaker
dough-face. What ludicrous soniersetH
it may yet O-'casior.-nay we all live to se
Aly assertion wus that the minority of
the county had combined to gra-tp all the
most important offices in the county. This
statement is assailed as untrue. I proceed
to prove, by giving namo and residence,
my position.
The Mountains (not Tenns Creek) are
and always have been, the natural and
sectional division of (he county into " up
per " and " lower " end.
North of that line, we have White
Deer, Kelly, Lewisburg, East Buffaloe,
West BufT-iloc, Mifiluiburg, Hartley, Lime
stone. BafTiIoe, and North part of Union.
South cf that line, we have Beaver,
West Beaver, Centre and Cent rev i lie. New
Berlin, South part of Union, M.ddlecieek,
Penns, Chapman, Washington, and Perry.

These. I believe, are the FACTS. This
is the way the North is (and long has been)
wronged. Beaver must have hco good of
fices; East Buffalo, none! New Berlin is
entitled to Font, Lewisburg, Nose! All
right, says "Justice perfectly correct,
says the "Jour." "What consequence if
Ihe Buffalo farmers and Lewisburg me
chanics do toil hard, and live frugally?
the New Eerlin office-hunters and Beaver
illuminatii are entitled to all the honors and
emoluments of office. The North was
made to sustain the South as well in Union
County as in Union Nation, and Tax pay
ers have no business to grumble. All they
have lo bo is to work hard ; pay their
taxes; support any Ticket which duplicitv
and falsehoood ho ever lo'amou may
corruptly obtain ; and keep their mouths
iJiut as tight as a clam-Jicll.'' Such is
the language (in pracice) of ihe South;
and such deeds of injustice. gained by Irauil,
are defended by Silver Greys who have
quite a good friends in the North as the
South, and been bettertreated by the North
than by the South.
" Taxation xcitliout Representation" ncv-
er was. and is nut now. Whig doctrine;
and whether obtained by fraud or by trick
ery which Locofocoism even would des
pise, it is alike incumbent upon every true
Whig to thwart it.
I am happy to know that this Ticket
meets the unqualified condemnation of so
large a number of true, honest, reasona
ble, voting Whigs, that one Southerner will
probably be withdrawn, and at least one
Northerner put in the field, thus materially
altering the aspect of (he Ticket. Trust
ing this may be the case, I will allow
"Jour.'' and his new comrades to shiver
another week in fear of' a rod in pickle"
from A TAX PAYER.
