instantly relieved me of the dull pain ami dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by this- result. 1 resolved to place myself immediately under his care, and by a strict obedient*!)
to his directions and advice, my bead became clear,'my
ideas collected, the constant pain in my back and groins,
the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of my
whole body on the slightest alarm pr excitement, tbi
misanthropy and evil forebodings, the sell'-distrust-ami
want of confidence in others, the incapability to study,
and'svant or resolution, th* frightful, exciting, andat
times pleasurable dreams at night followed by invulun
tiiry discharges, lutve all disappeared : and in fact, in two
months after having roust, lted tbe Doctor. I felt as if inspired with *_ new lite—that life which, but a short time
ago, I contemplated to end by my.own hand.
With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into
the snares of i_co.ipet_.it quacks, I deem it my duty tn
,lfer tliis testimo-iy to the merit and -kill of Dr. Cs-apkay,
nn recommend him to all who r-ay stand in need ol mtil-
cal advie,, being assured by my own experience,.lluit
■nco under his cure, a radical and peiina rit-nt care will be
ffeoted.' B. P. FILLMORE.'

Aud a home for his priestly race,
He reurtd each arch iu symmetry,
And curved each Hue iu grace.
Scatter the germs ofthe beautiful

She who rests within _iy arms,
Feels their warmest pressing.

Other hours shall greet us yet,
Hours that may be weary }
Still this heart shall tie thy throne,
Still thi* breast shall be thy pillow ;
Still these lips shall meet ihine ott
As billow meeteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart,

None but thou hast done it ;
And whyu age our bloom shall change,

Is there no place on earth where printers get their

The whi-p'ring breeze went by—with accent filled
with woe,
A voice, borne on the sorrow;-. *-'-i
Tell me, ye flowing stre«m. that smoothly glide
along,
Is there one cherished place where printers meet
■    not wrong .
The gentle brook replied, iu murmurs soft and
low,
And winding on its verdant way, it meekly au-
swered-No I
Tell me, ye murky clouds now rising iu the West,
Is there upon the globe oue spot by printers never
blest t
The flushing ciouds outspoke, with an indignant
glow,
A voice that filled the earth with awe in thunders
answered—No !
Tell me, hard-hearted man, withholding day by
day.
Is there no honor in thy breast, the printer's bill
to pay ?
lTnans\vering, turns he round—how plain the ac-

A muttered oath-capped sound is hoard—his actions answers—Nu!
Ti-11 me, ye gentle nymphs who bless our life-
hours through,
Is there one sacred shrine where printers gain
their due?
A mantling blush diffused did tenfold grace impart,
A soft;.-i-sponsive sigh implied—'tis found in

Shall sufl'ertne printers here below have uo redress

The   Pacific     it-ill-oad.
Onthe 27t.h of  January,  Mr. Davi_.  of'Missis-
ppi, reported in behalf ofthe minority of the
committee ou the Pacific Railroad counter project, which provides in substance, ior the construction of a railroad across, the Territories of
the United States alone, " to connect the States
of ttie Atttui.lic rriHn Lbe Stales of the i'acific,';
and grunts alternate sections of laud six miles
wide on each side of said road In aid of its construction. In further aid oi the work, it authorizes contracts to be made for the tran.portatiou of
mails, inanitions of war, &c. for twenty years
after the road ehall.be completed, and advance
$10,000.000 to the contractors, to be returned iu
transportation service.
In commenting on the minority report, the
Washington correspondent of the New York
Daily Times says: This bill, if it would become
a law, would inevitably locate the road via
Texas, El Paso, and the mouth of the Gila river,
because, as it specifically designates no route, and
the sum to be advanced is $10,000,000 instead of
being graduated by the length of the road, the
coutracloi's would, as ft matier of course, build
the road on the line where tbe Sl&te of California
approaches most nearly nn AM.nitic Slate, That
line is clearly drawn from El P»-o lo lhe mouth
ofthe Gila, where the western boundary of Texas
approaches within five or six hundred loilts ol
(alilornia. The bill reported by Mr. Gwiu Irom
the minority of the committee, adopts the great
central emigr.ut route. Tins was not selecled
by them on sectional grounds, btii in the deliberate conviction that it is the route which, all
things considered, will prove meet acceptable and
most equitable to the whole Union.
It happens, nevertheles**, that the committee is
divided sectlonally. those who constitute the
majority, Messrs. Gwin, Douglas, Bright, Seward
and Foot, being all irom the Free Stales, and the
minority, consisting of Oa?is, Hunter, Iverson
aud Bell, all from the Slave States. The majority
contend for a central and national route, and the
minorily fof an extreme southern and ceutral
route. Under these circumstances the contest
necessarily becomes a sectional one. That Mr.
Davis" plan has a shadow of chance lor success he
conuot himself belieVe, for he must kuow that it
will be opposed by every man from the North and
the great Northwest, including Missouri and
Kentucky. The most it can do is to deleat actii
upon any Pacific Railroad measure, by distracting
and dividing its friends I do not anticipate that
result, however ; for, with such men an G.
Douglas and Seward to se.uro action, upou the
project, Northern votes enough will be fouud to
carry the bill of the majority without Southern
aid.
The Atltilltl. Telegraph.
A letter from George Seward, Esq., Secretary o
the Atlantic Telegraph Company, received ir
New York, and dated Loudon, January 15 says :
'-Our arrangements here for the completion of
the work we have iu hand are progressing satisfactorily, and I trust and believe thut out next
attempt will be crowned with success. Thi
machinery is being overhauled under li edir.ctioi
of English and American engineers, aud expori
ments will be carefully tried before sailing next
time, with a view to meet every known or a
cipated difficulty. The English government has
again granted u_ the use of ships ; and the maim
facture of uew cable to supply the place of that
which waa lost is going ou satisfactorily. It ia
intended at prescut to take out 2,800 miles of
cable, being -00 miles more than was thonght
sufficient last time.
Tax os Lawyers, Doctors and Public Ckkicers.
—A bill to tax lawyers, doctors and office holders
lias been introduced iu the House, by Dr, War
field, of Nevada, the following synopsis of which
is from tlie S. F. Times :—
The bilfprovides that all persons engaged in
the practice of medicine shall be declared physicians, and that every physieiati or copartnership
of physicians shall obtain a 'license from the
County Treasurer before they shall be permitted
to pursue the practice of their profession. All
practicing lawyers are also required to procure a
license at the rate of .,2 50 for every S500 worth
of cash business they have, and the amount done
the year preceding their application for such
license shall be taken as a basis to determine the
amount euch applicant shall pay. Allpersons
■iving a stated srlary, eilher County or State
:ers, shall pay one per cent, upon the amount
of salary received—the taa so celh-cted from
Siate officers shall go into the General Fuud of
the State, and of the tax so collected from physicians and lawyers aud from county officers, one-
half shall go into the School Fund of the respective counties and the other half to go into the

since suffered from a pulmonary ailment which
prevented him latterly from attending to the duties of his office, and which has put an end to his
existence at an early age. Mr. Orborne was a
man of industry and perseverance, and would in
course of time, have become an efficient puh'ic
officer.—S. F Herald.

There is now every reason  to believe that   the'
fust region ofthe TUure com,iry is on the eve of
being opened to commerce. The splendid little'
steamer Peytona, Capt. S. H Dubois on her late
trip up the Sui Joaquin, ilemonfltiated the fact
that it is _ navigable stream, at least during the
greater-portion of the year. Al] thai is now n-ijuir-
ed for* the Peytona to make regdlrtr trips, even
at the low stage of water lhat' befell her, is the
removal of the snags that obstruct the river.
The Peytona stared on her tlip from this city up'
the San Joaquin on the (iih inst., nnd was absent
twelve days, having arrived ln-reuu Friday last.
She succeeded in ..aching the month of the
Merced, The gi eater portion oftier lime was con.
sumed Ib cutting through snr.gs than obstiucte.L
navigation. The riv,-r was unusually low—lower
than it has been the same t-eason of tbe year for'
the past eight years. The water marks show lhat
the liver rises niuetoeu feet higher than llmstfigo
of water mefc-by the Peytona. The snags ihat
obstructed the passage of the steam or had tbe'
appearance of having been imbediled a long time,-
showing that when once removed1 (which may
easily boeffectct]) no fears need-be entertained of
others falling in the river to take their places.
When the Son Joaquin i. „ 1-2 feet higher than
during the late trip of the Peytona, whieh it probably will tie in a short time, ctitoll. may be made
over the bars in the river, so that a full third of
the distance may be saved. With three leet moru'
water, which is a small rise for tl,e San Joaquin,
the Peytona will be enabled to go to Fre_no City ,
which is but sixty miles from Visalia and may be
reached by a splendid.wagon road. The ccuutry ou<
the Sau Jonquiu presents a beautiful appearance
suitable for fanning or grazing purposes. Tho
removal oi the snags at comparatively small cost
would opeu these valuable lands lo settlers, and
the attending improvements would tiring to tho
cotters ofthe State a large sum. JJy increasing-iho

up along its banks, as there are ___I.J pleasant

of Tulare county, as they have to pay 4 1-2 cent3"
iu summer and Iroui 7 to 8 cents iu winter per
pound for frieglit by teams ; besides, complaints
are frequently made that goods are' damaged by
the natural wear of wagons travelling over hills
and rough roads,
A large amnnut of goods at the present time to
the Tulare country goes Irom Sau . Pra„siaeo by
way of sea lo San Pedro, and is then placed in-
wagons and carried through Tejon Pas*—which-
round about way may be saved by -hipping by
steamer from Stockton directly to Prezno City, at.

good wagon roads may be lis il to kult. 1i-_i_i.-
