Sparkling pearls are in the ocean,
Hidden in some c-ral eave ;
Priceless pearls in beauty sleeping.
Far benealh the troubled wave.
Beauteous pearls are in the ocean,
In the ocean wide of thought.
Pure and bright as crystal fountains,
Only by the earnest sought.
Pearls are in tbe grassy meadow,
In the early summer dawn ;
Dewy pearls are in the forrst,
And on the flower-blossomed lawn.
Pearls tbere are of rares, value,
Deep within the starry eye—
Tears that fall from woes of others,
Dews of sweetest sympathy.
Pearls are hid in every life tide,
Had we but some diver's art,
To reach Ihe surging waters
Beating in the human heart.
Far within the deep eoul-caveraa,
There are gems of beauty bright,
Oft o'ergrown with choking sea weeds.
Worldly dross thus dims tbeir light.
Threads of H-ipe are intermingled
With these pearls of beauty rare ;
Silver threads, in brightness twined with
Pearls of Truth, so God-like fair.
And a pearl of steady lustre
Lights the pathway to the sky—
Heavenly Faith, serenely shining,
Pierces dread Eternity.

On last Wednesday evening the stage from
Stockton brought Col. Jobn Q. Fremont and sei
eral other gentleman fromjton Franc -co. H
arrival in this county has been long anxiously
expected. Since the locating of tne Fremont
grant In this county, things in genera! have been
in a very unsettled condition. Law suita innumerable have been brought, by the respective agents
ol Col. Fremont and those of the Merced Min
Company, until the patience of nearly all parties
has been worn out by a tedious succession of injunctions, Mr, Fremont's affairs in Bear Valley
baving become sadly confused by a waut of proper
management iu mining operations. Va-ious judgments were obtained against the property, amount
ing in all to nearly the sum of $18,000 widch we
are pleased to learn has been paid off by Col
Fremout, and the property lelieved. Ihe attach
ments were issued on demands held by the employees of the agents of Col. Fremont, and thi*
discharge oi all indebtedness in cash, we trust w 1]
have a tendency to make coin more plentiful to
meet the ordinary financial conveniences of trade.
What speaks well for the citizens of Mariposa
county, as a law-abiding people is. that notwith
standing the many alleged grievances aud uann'r*
ous incouviences they have suffered from the location ol this claim in the very heart of the county
and on the richest portion of the mineral lands,
yet they have made no open demonstration whereby the ends of justic- bave been defeated, or the
law retarded in its operation. The dispute,whicli
has been wagtd with so much legid acumen between the Merced Company and the agents of Mr.
Fremont, is likely soon to be brought to a close,
as we understand there is a case about to be decided by tbe highest legal tribunal iu the State, involving a point of law bearing on the evidence
that will decide the question ot title. It is well
that this vexed question of title is -o near its final
adjustment, because the uncertainty and doubt
which attend an issue of thi magnitude, always
check tbe spirit * f enterprise and retard the hand
of progress.—Mariposa Democrat.

Beaches of our Revenue System.—A eir cum
stance connected with the financial affairs of our
State, which was brought to our knowledge, id
worthy of note In accoi dance with the requirements of thc revenue law. the treasurer of San
Diego county paid his semi-annual visit to the
capital, for the purpose of making his settlement
With the State. It appears that he had collected
the Enm of $243 22. His mileage amounted to
$316 ; biB allowance as auditor io $82. and his
per Centage to $7 29. By deducting the total
collections from the charge, it will be seen that
the State is brought in debt $172 07—about our-
lialf of the whole amount collected. Tbis is rath

debt.— Sacramento Union.

Chinese Sugar Cane —This new species of tbe
sugar-cane, just introduced Into ou. State, will
prove a very valuable product to California. As
green (odder for stock, especially for swine, it
has no equal, as the young suckers around tbe
main stalk can be cut. and will cootinjally grow
as fodder. We wonld recommeud to those who
desire to save heavy seed, the careful removal of
all thejoungsuckers, thus giving tbe full strength
of the plant to tbe seed. We are glad to notice
many small patches of the sugar-cane in various;

Thk Imports this Fall.—A New York cotemporary predicts a monetary crisis, this fall, in
consequence of excessive importations. It Bbows
that the imports, at New York, ior the firBt seven
months of this year, hava exceeded those ofthe
corresponding period of last year, nearly twenty-
three millions of dollars; while the exports of
domestic produce have fallen about six millions j
making a total, as against 1857, so far, by twenty-
nine millions. It calls attention also to the fact,
that wc have shipped to Europe, since the first of
January, nearly aix millions more of specie than
daring the first seven months of 1856. It then
proceeds to predict an enormoua importation during the months of August and September ; an almost entire failure ofthe demand abroad for our
corn ; a holding back of the Western crop from
the market in consequence of the high price of
freight ; a further drain of specie to the amount
of forty millions before the cottou crop matures ;
a general return of railroad securities held in Europe ; and finally, as a consequence of all this,
the rise of the best paper to two per cent, a month,
universally impending bankruptcy, and not improbably a suspension of the banks. In a word,
never was " wolf, wolf," cried so lustily.
It is a sufficient answer to all this that money
continues easy, that nobody is alarmed, and that
the harvest is now known to be enormous. Here
we might, indeed, dismiss the subject. But we
have a word to say. before doing this, respecting
the importations and thc crops. That the imports
have been excessive is not to be denied. But, so
far as we can ascertain, most of the orders for
foreign goods have been already filled, so that the
importations, for the rest of the summer and autumn, will be on account of the manufacturers
abroad. It is notorious that, under such circumstances, the greatest Iosbcs occur, and that these
losses fall on foreigners, A glut in the market,
such as our cotemporary prognosticates, produces
a constantly increasing decline in price ; this decline necessarily is felt more by those who bring
in their goods latest; since the excess ofimporta-
tions, especially on foreign account, benefits, to a
certain extent, the people, in consequence of the
cheapness it creates. Moreover, in such seasons,
statistics lose much of their accuracy, goods
bringing less than they have beeu computed at.
Tbe estimate ofour cotemporary, that forty millions will have to go forward this fall, to balance
our importations, is utterly chimerical.
Nor is the idea that no considerable portion of
the harvest will be moved this auttimn more reliable. There may be a few farmers in the West
who will store their crops ; but the majority cannot afford to do this ; and the great bulk of our
agricultural pnoducts, therelore, will be sold, and,
of course, will come to market. Wehave an enormous excess of hay, cereals, &c, as compared with
former years, and the iudebtednei
will give the monetary world the advantage of
excess. No rise in freights can prevent the
crop cf 1857 being moved. In addition to this,
tbe cotton crop will realize, if the most sagacious
calculations are not at fault, nearly if not quite
enough to supply all deficiencies. Every steamer
lrom Liverpool brings intelligence of a rise in
this staple. In feet, so long as England continues
to increase her manufactures, eo long will cotton
steadily go up ; for its production does not and
canuot keep pace with the demand. We are the
last persons to favor extravagance, hy countenancing excessive importations. We admit that the
United States has bought more foreign luxuries
this year than was prudent. But, on the other
hand, it ia absurd to say, iu the face of the abundant harvest and the rise in cotton, that our people have made themselves bankrupt by this act of
lolly. The sun and rain, seed-time and harvest,
have saved us, for a while at least, Irom thissatae-
trophe.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Grkat BniTxix.—The shore cable of the Atlantic telegraph was safely landed at Valencia, Ireland, on the evening of Wednesday, August 5th.
On the following day lhe entire telegraph fleet,
consisting of eight steam vessels, set sail for Newfoundland. No intelligence of the subsequent
movements had been received up to the sailing of
the Arabia, in consequence of the want of telegraphic communication with Valentia. A grand
banquet was held at Valentia, in honor of the occasion, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland presiding.
Everything had progressed satisfactorily aa late
as heard from.

Diplomatic relations had been suspended between
France and Turkey. In order to prevent the
French Ambassador leaving Constantinople, thc
Sultan had formed a new cabinet.
The Adriatic and North seas were united on the
27th of July by the completion of the railroad between Vienna and Trieste. The Emperor of Austria was present in person.
Forty miners were killed in England by a colliery explosion.

Si'Aix.—The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, writing on the Sth August, sayB :—''It i8
said iu official quarters, that, contrary to all expec.
tation, the arrangement ofthe differences existing
between the Spanish and Mexican governments
has been suspended, in consequence of accounts
received from Mexico by the last mail. I give

New York, Aug. 20.—The reporters continue

TUe Revolt of the Sepoys'.'
India—Fall ok Delhi.—The intelli giince of the'
capture of Delhi is stated as a fact iu the over-'
land mmmary of the Bombay Telegraph and*
Courier, which says under date of July 1st:
Since the publication of onr Hist summary,
great events have transpired. Delhi h-an fallen ,-
and 7000 mutineers have been put to the edge of
the sword. The army of relTrihution, under Gen.
Barnard, arrived before Delhi on the 8th inst. On
reaching Caidlee Seraee, the English General-
found the mutineers strongly posted ih an entrenched position, completely protected by a
strong park of artillery. After reconhoitering
the position of the enemy, Gen. Barnard at onca
brought up his columns to the attach. The insurgents fought with the most determined bravery.
their guns being well served, aud they seemed to
be under the guidance of leaders well versed in'
the science of war. All their ufforts, however, to
maintain their position, were unavailing ; it was
carried at the point ct the bayonet, and they were
ultimately driven within the wall's of Delhi with
great slaughter, and the loss of twenty-six guns.
The loss on our aide was, comparatively speaking,
trifling—only some forty or fifty of our men having fallen. Amongst this number waB Cul. Chester, the Adjutaut-General of the army, an officer
of Whom General Barnard aaid that he was esteemed by all for every qualification which could
sdorn a soldier.
The interval between the Sth and 12th—the day
upon which the city was stormed—seemed to haye
been occupied by General Barnard in cannonad-
ng and shellina the city. A3 soon as practicable
—breaches had been made in the walls—the town
was carried by assault. Full particulars, however,
have not yet been received ;■ but it must have
been a gallant affair. From news which we hava
received from a private source, we learn that thc
mutineers fought like fiends. The streetB were
blocked up with their dead and dying, but they
still maintained an unbroken front until a miserable remnant took refuge in the Palace. This,
however, afforded them but a momentary refuge ;-
guns were brought to bear upon its massive walla,
and the miscreants were driven out to meet death
on the points of thousands of avenging bayonets.'
The slaughter wag terrible; upwards of 7000 of
the mutineers are said to have perished. Oat
loss is, no doubt, great ; and England may expect
to hear that many of her sous have fallen ; but
the turning point at the revolt has been gained,
and its entire suppression will be surely anil
speedily accomplished. With the fall of Delhi,
all hopes of eventual success must have been ex-'
tinguished in the bosom of the most sanguine.

IT seem that the Elbotko-Chemical Baths, have
decided the vexed question in regard to the
notorious National Hotel disease; one victim
having been fortunato enough to try the baths, as
a last resort, wherein thc " test-plate showed a
heavy deposit of arsenic." This tells a dark tale
on somebody, and shows how the people choose to
bo humbugged, even to death, rather than be cured
by an unpopular agent. The Electro-Chemical
baths were in use and within tho reach of those
■victims, but thoy were in the hands of REFoiiMKiia,
hence, but one of the many victims, it seems, re.
florted to them.
X do not claim that tho baths arc a cure-all, hut
that they are a powerful agent iu renovatingithe
human system generally, and that they will expel
from the system tnurcury, oc other mineral poisons, so as to bo seen by the naked eye ; showing
clearly the absurdity of the Alopathic practice,
and why the Doctors decry those tell-tale machines.
Should there be any in this community, independent enough to investigate these things for
themselves, they may find it"to their advantage to
eaU on the undersigned, who administers the
baths, and is a dealer in electro-magnetic machines for family use, giving all necessary directions.

Important Intelligence from Chisa— Seizure
op tub I3I4ASD of Formosa.—We receive in the
letter of our Chinese correspondent, published in
another column, says the New York Times, the
rather startliug intelligence that the Government
of the United States has decided to take possession of the Island of Formosa, as security for the
payment by the Chinese Governmeut of the indemnity demanded for damages done to American
interests during the disturbances at Canton. While
it comes from a source likely to be well informed,
we hesitate about giving full credence to it. I*
seems impofsible that sueh a step should bo resorted to without a previous demand for indemnity, followed by a refusal to give it. The seizure
of a portion of Chinese territory can be regarded
by the Chinese in no other light than as an act of
war ; and it is hardly conceivable that our Government Bhould have resolved upon war, without
a preliminary effort to obtain satisfaction by
other means. The Island of Formosa lies about
ninety miles off the southeast coast of China, embraces an area of about 15,000 square miles, aud
contains over two millions of Chinese inhabitants,
besides an unknown number of natives, who in"
hatiit principally the eastern portion of thelsland
Tho Chinese who live on the Island are generally
of a bad character, as Formosa has for a longtime
been used as a sort of penal colony for the Chinese
Empire ; the natives are half civilized and cruel.
The country is well watered and fertile, and produces great quantities of cotton, rice, sugar, with
wheat, maize, and various tropical fruits.

From Sonth America,
Chili.—The Chilian Ministry had resigned in tf
body, and their resignation had been accepted ;
no successors had been named. The cause of their
resignation was their defeat on the following
question, which they were desirous of carrying :

to those who. being absent from the country for

Peru.—The intelligence from Lima ib both ex-
ci'ing and important. S. E. tfallifan, Esq., Brit-'
ish Minister at Lima, was assassinated on the evening of the llth of July. He was attacked by sir
masked men, whilst he was dining, who entered
his private residence and Sred three shots at hitn,-

A N'ew Cereal.—We saw a few dajs" et specimen of a new cereal, grown in this county. We'
could not get a deecription of the stalk, or an account of its origin, and, with* nothing to guide us
beside the ripened grain, we sould not class it. It
appeared to he the fruit of a rank grass, stronger
and larger than wheat, but more light and fragile
than Indian corn. The ear or cluster of grains,-
formed on the summit of the stalfr, was about
three and a half inches in length, antf about four
inches in circumference, and of an irregular, oblong shape. The grains, ofwhich there were several hnndred in the cluster, resembled in size and
form the grain of the common broom corn, were
compactly set, wittiout an outer or general covering, each grain having a delicate hiisk covering
of about half its bulk.- The grain was harder
than wheat, rather brittle, and. when broken, gave
a taste indistinguishable Irom ludian corn, i rom
the limited knowledge ofthe nature and habits of
the plant to be gathered from a cursory examination of this isolated specimen, we incline to tho
opinion that it Slay become a prolific :ind valuable article of agriculture. The "head" or cluster that we saw will yield about as much in
weight aud volume as fitteen or twenty ordinary
heads of wheat.    We Bhall learn more about this
