Deceiving Themselves.
Strange as it may seem, it is nevertheless true,
that some of those now loudest in their treasona
ble designs to bring about a dissolution of the Un
ion, are laying the flattering unction to their souls
that in such an event the people of the State of
Pennsylvania would unite with the south in the
establishment of a southern confederation. Mr.
Downs, of Louisiana, in his late speech in the
Senate, In which he cooly and deliberately entered
into a calculation of the value of the union, de
clared his belief that Pennsylvania would unite
with the south in such a movement. "This,1' said j
he, "is not mere conjecture. 1 saw a letter with
in a few days, from a respectable gentleman in the
.State of Pennsylvania, upon the subject of cur
present troubles and of the dissolution of the un
ion, in which he says, if it ever should come, Penn
sylvania will stand by the south. Her pecuniary '
interests demand it." We know not who the re- j
speclablc gentleman may be. Doubiless some as-
pirant for southern favors, who would sell his
birthright for a mess of pottage.' No man in his.
senses, or having any regard for truth, and not ac-1
tuated by some selfish motives, would make such
n declaration. Whosoever may have been Mr. !
Down's authority, we hesitate not to say he is j
either a dunce or a knave. Daily News. j

Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.
Washington, March 4, 1850.
" The North does not seem to know
their real danger, although the South have done
all that could be done to wake them up. They
.sleep soundly, they don't realize their danger, that
some fine morning they may open their eyes to
iheir own nakedness and helplessness- The South
wearied and worried out of all patience may cut
themselves loose, and leave the North in their na
kedness, to freeze arid shiver and die, without cot
ton to cover them, without any rice, or tobacco or
sugar. God help the poor frozen North if the
South leaves them ! What could they do but ride
down. hill?"
fXp5 If anybody hereabout has understood that
the South has hitherto supplied the North with
Cotton, Rice, Tobacco and Sugar, without recom
pense, and just by way of charity, he must feel
utterly cut down or cut up by the foregoing.
Those who rather guess that the North has paid
a hundred cents on the dollar in its dealings with
the South at least as often as the latter, will be
able to take it more philosophically. Certainly,
if Three Million workers at the South can easily
and amply support a population of Eight Millions,
it ought not to be hard for Twelve Millions this
way to gain a decent subsistence by all working
for it. Potatoes will grow and Corn will fill as
heretofore even though 'the South' should turn its
back lo the 'poor frozen North,' and there is no
country wherein riding down hill is pleasanter
than in this, noi wherein those who ride are bet
ter able to draw their sleds up again. Wherefore,
most doughy of Doughfaces ! let us beseech you
not to distress yourself on behalf of the North !

Death of Captain May.
The St. Loois Union, of the 1 9th ult., con
tains an account of the life and death of (his
young officer, who won the earliest laurels lhat
were gathered in the late Mexican war. He
died, says tho Union, in San Francisco, after
a short illness from scurvy and bronchitis, pro
duced by ,a long and very disagreeable passage
from New York to that place' by the course of
Cape rioyi. M jhe period of his death he
was about t wcnly-,even years of age, and in
the very prime of his manhood and hie hopes.
The Truth at last!
The Whigs of Pennsylvania, and many Dem
ocrats, wiil remember the charges ofVfrauil ,and
peculation committed on the Columbia railroad a
few years ago. Then the Whigs could make the:
charge, for there was unmistakable evidence that
plundering the State was reduced to a perfect sys
tem ; but they were without the power to investi
gate. .The parly in-.power- would not. Every
leader, in the party, one of whom was the present
editor of the Keystone, heaped unmeasured abuse
upon the Whigs for their charges against a merit
orious public servant.
That public servanrhasTetired from'wjcer" to
feast, at his eass on his ill-gotten gains. He has
ceased to serve his part) and lime has oblitera
ted the charges made by the Whigs, and now the
truth may be told ! That which was called false
hood when told by the Whigs, is now admitted to
be substantial truth, by men who then denied it.
Jn the Keystone of March 1st, 1850, a long ar
ticle will be found, exposing the villany of a fac
tion of that party, and from it we extract the fol
lowing :
James Cameron hoiccv&t took charge of the
road" (Columbia railroad) " and such a scene of
FRAUD and WASTE of public funds AS EN
SUED was never heard of m any other civilized
state or community
Here is an honest confession. Did not this very
writer know lhat it was true at the very time the
frauds were committed I What new evidence has
he obtained What has unlocked his mouth that
he can now admit the truth That trite old ad
age, " when knaves fall out, &c," tells the story !
The editor of the Keystone in his thirty years of
public service has risen in the scale the private
soldier of that day is the captain of to-day and if
orders are not obeyedPhe court martials every re
fractory partizan.
To close then. What the Whigs said of Cam
eron's fraud was true, was it not friend Keystone I
You knew it then, did you not, and denied it stout
ly I And will you as honestly admit ten years
after this that the same charges now made of oth
er public disbursing agents of the State is also
true I Wc should like to know in advance.

Volcanoes.
Wc find in a late number of the Louisville Jour
nal, a long and highly eulogistic noiice which is
in part also a report of a lecture delivered in that
city, on Volcanoes by Professor Sillimax, the
younger, a gentleman who seems to havo inherited
all the talent which has distinguished his gifted
father, and to be rapidly climbing the same sleeps
of scientific fame. The following extract from the ! ?
report gives a few interesting leading facts in re
lation to the distribution ofVolcanc.es:
" There are now about 303 burning Volcanoes;
191 are in islands, and 109 are on the continents.
The proximity of the great mass of volcanoes to
the sea is a fact of great interest, especially when
it is remembered that there are submarine volca
noes burning in the midst of the waters. The up
heaval of land from the mass of water by' forces
analagous to volcanic action is familiar to the ge
ologist and gives interest to the position of volca
noes in the neighborhood of the sea. The volca
noes in the interior of Asia are the solitary excep
tion to the rule. One of them, the volcano of j
Preschan, is 1,538 geographical miles from the sea

In the diggings the rains .continued without ces-
satinn. AU the rivers were swollen to analarm
ing.hight.'but the miners still-continue to'worka
part of the.time.' On the niglit of 'the 8th of Janu
ary, the Yuba River, at its junction with Feather
River, rose fifteen feet, flooding about half the
town of Yubaville. The inhabitants were' moving
to a bluff about eight feet- higher, which it was
supposed would be secure from inundation. No
lives weie lost.
The Sacramento River has overflowed its banks,
both above and below Sacramento City, and in
many places, the flood extends nearly the whole
breadth of the valley, resembling an immense sea,
the course of the river being only marked by the
thickets on. its banl?s. .Great numbers of horses
and cattle have been swept -away and drowned.
Along the banks of the river many persons were en
gaged in wood cutting and charcoal-burning ; the
flood rose so suddenly, that they were obliged to
climb into trees and wait for some chance of re
lief. '
Sacramento City was entirely submerged on
the night of Jan. 9. When our informant left, the
the next morning, ihe water was rising at the rate
of an inch per hour, chiefly from- the' American
Fork. The flood on the Yuba Had not reached
the city.
These unprecedented floods have been -occasioned
by two or three successive falls of snow in
the mountains, followed by two days of warm
summer weather. On Feather river, a fall of
snow two feet deep entirely disappeared in one day.
There was a rumor which it is feared is but
too true that between one and two thousand per
sons were imprisoned in Sutter's Port by the wa
ter, unable to escape, through want of boats, and
with very little means of subsistence.
Owing to the rise in the rivers there are now
three steamers plying between Sacramento City
and Yubaville, a distance of about seventy-five
miles; fare $15. Provisions were plenty on all
the northern rivers. The prices remain about the
same as at previous advices.
The " burned district" in San Francisco is now
almost entirely built up. The Exchange, El Do
rado and Parker House are again in operation.
The growth of the town in all directions is even
more marvellous than heretofore.
The California had on board a million and a half

The neglected placers in the Province of Vera

and yield $5 to $S6 daily per man. The gold is
in large grains, and 22 carats fine.

As the Alabama was leaving Chagres, on the af

supposed to be the Empire City, passed her at
about 3 miles distance, in consequence of which,
several passengens on the Alabama returned in
the Orus to meet her. Among those who reached
New-Orleans in the Alabama, wereChas. Eames,

The Placer. We have very little information
from the mines. From the Fork of the American
River we have no news, communication being cut
off from the bad condition of the roads. Occa
sionally a boat comes down from the Juba and
Feather Rivers, and we learn that miners on those
streams do a good business when the weather
will allow them lo dig. A gentleman recently
from the Mokelame informs us that he thinks op
erators on thai stream are averaging $10 per day.
As it seems to be the opinion of those best quali
fied io judge that the rainy season is mostly over,
and that we shall have an early Spring, miners
domiciled in our cities will be enabled to get lo
the diggings much earlier in the Spring than was
anticipated, and as they will probably find the
water in the streams receding, they may reasona
bly expect a protracted season for operations.
