Important from California.
Another Great nre--One Hundred Houser Deetror
ed—All quiet in New Grenada—More Gold, tj•c.
NEW ORLEANS, November 2.
The steamship Alabama arrived yesterday after
noon, with two days' later news from California.—
San Francisco bad been visited by another des
tructive fire, consuming 100 houses. _
The Lenith of the gthmus was good. All ex
citement relative to the attempted revolution iu
New Grenada, had pretty much died away. Rain
continued to fall, though it bad but little effect on
the roads which were in such order as to enable all
to pass over with but slight difficulty.
The accounts from California are not of a very
encouraging nature. The financial crisis still ex
eited much talk, but it was thought the worst was
over. Prom tlic mine's, there is little new to add
to that brought by the Pacific. The accounts are
somewhat contradictory, but still of a very favora
ble character. New discoveries were being made
daily. The rainy season was about commencing.
The passengers by the Alabama have a considera
ble quantity of Gold with theta.
The Guinea Hen.
The Guinea Ilen, or Pentad°, is near an ever
lusting layer. They are said to unite the proper
ties of the turkey and the pheasant. They are a
native of Africa, though said by some to belong
c qually to this country and are easily domesticated.
Their flesh is more like that of the pheasant than
the common fowl, both in color and taste, and is
reckoned a very good substitute for that bird.
They assimilate perfectly with the common fowl
in their artificial habits and kinds of food. Their
gait is peculiar, as arc also their cries. They are
fond of marshy places, and always perch during
the night in high situations, or on trees. It is a lit
tle singular that American farmers do not turn
their attention to these fowels. A knowing Jer-1
seyintin named David Bonner, from Englatl, hir
ed a patch of five acres four years ago, and com
menced raising eggs fur the New York market.
Donner has never hired any help, and at this mo
ment owns a farm fur which lie paid $4700, of
which the buildings cost over $3OOO. nis farm is
all paid for—lie owes not a cent in the world, and
lie owns a flock which varies from 800 to 1200
Guinea
Fortune's Whims.
Quite an interesting and affecting scene in the
drama of life, says the N. Y. Sun of the 19th ult.,
occurred in our city yesterday. As it is an apt il
lustration of the numerous freaks Dame Fortune
so often plays upon us mortals, we give the facts
of the occurrence for the information of our rea
ders. Some four years since a gentleman residing
in our city, having a large family dependent upon
him for support, became very much reduced in
circumstances from various infortunate causes.—
Jo a moment of despair he enlisted as a soldier in
Stevenson's Regiment of California Volun
teers, leaving an only son, some eighteen years of
age, to provide sustenance for it mother and seven
children.
Fruition, tedious years did that boy toil man
fully and successfully in support of the charge con
fided so unexpectedly to his bands. Not a single
word has ever been heard of the abseniparent un
til yesterday, when he returned front California,
and is the act of searching out his (to him) lost
tinnily, he chanced to see the name of his son on
a sign over the door of a stoic in Nassau street.—,
We cannot pretend to describe the joy, the unex
pressible happiness felt by the family on meeting
with the returned father, who had brought with
lain front California the nice sum of seventy-five
thousand dollars 1 the result of three years' labor
on the gulden shore of the Pacific!
The Tender-hearted Dears t
A Philadelphia correspondent of a New York
paper, speaks quite encouragingly of the progress
of the Female Medical Students M that city, say
ing, "The female class at the new Medical College
for the fair sex, are progressing rapidly in their
studies, and already use the knife in the dissecting
room with a nerve and rieility that astonishes even
the professors. They dive into the mysteries of
the human frame, and lay hare the nerves and mus
eh, of an arm or leg, with the sonic ease that they
•..mild draw a turkey or truss a pullet for the ope
ra'. of cooking. The Professors declare that
such rapid progress was never witnessed in a class
of males." Great country, this !
;asr Stephan Girard used to say, "There's no
Afficulty in getting rich—not the least in the world;
th.Virst million is the only difficulty—the rest will
make itselr." Old Stephen is right—we Imre found
the first million to he the only difficulty.
IsToxte.trugo Datxus.—President Jefferson
tin' said, "The habit of using ardent spirits by
men in office, has occasioned more injury to the
public, and more trouble to me, than all other cau
ses. And were Ito commence my administration
again, with the experience I now have, the first
question I would ask respecting a candidate would
be, "Does he use ardent spirits'?"
Cr The three cent pieces lately authorized by
Congress to be coined, have been ironed from the
Philadelphia mint. It is a beautiful coin. We
hope it will soon get into general circulation, and
drive out the nasty cents which are so plentiful
just ut the present time.
Car There aro in operation at the present time,
in Richmond, forty-three Tobacco factories, which
employ over 2300 hands, and which produce in
manufactured tobacco, fourteen millions five hun
dred thousand pounds annually.

cir A CONVICTIOH UNDER THE SMALL NOTE
LAW.—We learn from the Ledger, that on Mon
day last, the first suit in Philadelphia, for the pen
alty of $25 for passing a foreign small note, was
brought before Alderman Erety—judgment given
for the complainant, and the amount paid the next
day by the defendant. This is a wholesome war
ning, and we trust it will not pass unobserved.—
This judgment is unquestionably correct, and the
defendant was wise in paying it without further li
tigation. The law, too, is vise, and should be ri
gidly enforced everywhere.

twelve years, and is believed to be equal to any
Academy in the State in attbrding facilities to
young men for acquiring a thorough academical
education, either for business or for college. 'lc
ing situated in a very pleasant neighborhood in
the reentry, the pupils are removed from those
temptations to idleness, dissipation and eke, which
are the bane of similar institutions in town ; and
the whole surrounding vicinity will vie with any
place in the State for healthjidnesn, and tinr the
hi;le tone of morality pervading the comuiunity.
The buildings, recently, have been greatly im
proVed, and are arge, appropriate and commodi
ous, constructed according to the latest and most
approved models of school' architecture; and are
believed to combine all the essential requisites for
the advantage and convenience of both learner and
teacher. Pupils front a distance are required to
board iu the Academy with the Principals; but if
it is desired by the parents, good boarding may be
I obtained in the neighborhood.

during the quarter, unless caused by sickness.
The Principals have both been constantly taiga.'

can furnish the very best testimonials, both of.
their own scholarship and ability, and also of the '
thoroughness, success and accuracy of their mode of
teaching. They will both give their exclusire and
undivided attention to their pupils, and will also be
assisted by other competent instructors; and they

WESTERN LAND AGENCY.
A CAMPBELL, Lund Agent at Lasalle, II
• linois,, has openedageneral Land Agency for
Middle and Northern Illinois, and Southern Wis
consin, where he will attend to the purchase and
sale of improved and. L'unnproved Lands, payment
of Taxes, Location of Mexican Land Warrants,
nusking selections for those who may he entitled to
Bounty Lands under the late act of Congress, and
Lenerally to all business connected with a general
and Agency.
Having mnpleted arrangements whereby per
sons wishing to procure lands in this fertile and
rapidly improving portion of the West, can do so
at the minimum price of $1,25 per acre, without
the expense and risk of travelling there, any per
son who may pay to my Agent, James Maguire,
at Huntingdon, the sum of two hundred dollars,
will have one quarter section (160 acres) entered
in their name, (or as they may direct) for which
they will receive the patent front the general Land
(Mice at Washington city, in their name, clear of
all charges.
According to existing laws those lands are not tax
able for 5 years from the date of the entry. Sat
isfactory security will be given for all performances
on my part, and for the refunding of the amount
of the purchase, with 6 per cent., at the expiration
of five years, to any person who may' then be dis
sat islie,tl with the location.
The canal from Chicago.to Lasalle, at the head
of Steam-boat Navigation on the Illinois River,
the Railroad from Chicago to Galena, which is
now in process of construction, and the Railroad
front Chivago to Rock Island, on the Mississippi
river, now completed to 'Aurora, some 30 miles
west of Chicago, will pass through this country
from East to West, and the great Central Railroad
from Galena to the mouth of the Ohio river, pass
es through it front North to South, for the con
struction of which the late Congress appropriated
a large amount of land, thereby securing, beyond
doubt, its speedy completion ; and there is no doubt
in the mind of any person well intbrmed upon the
subject, but Chicagowill be connected with all the
Atlantic Cities by Railroad, in the course of from
two to four years from this time, thereby enabling
timailies to emigrate to this country in the short
space at from three to fitur days, front any portion
of the East, without the risk of travelling by steam
boat. Persons wishing to procure desirable homes
for themselves and Wadies, will do well to make
application soon, as the amount of public lands is
limited, and is being taken up tepidly by actual
settlers.
