Oration delivered In this City, on Fourth of
July, hy A. Tlltlen, Esq.
Lukes and Gentlemen—Fellow-Citizens: The
Declaration which you have just heard read is the
text of Fourth of July oratory. So many sermons
have been preached from that text, so often have
wo seen ita rich harvest-fields gleaned hy the
ablest minds, that the theme is thought to be exhausted, and he must be a deep orator indeed who
can produce from it anything novel or interesting. Wu become tired of its sameness j we be-
oomo wearied with those stereotyped expressions
which were ouce noble thoughts, but now iusipid
nothings from endless repetition, and we attend
Fourth of July celebrations merely to see and
hear what we have seen and heard before. But
has the orator of this day the right to choose his
subject ? No more than tbe Minister of the gospel
has to choose his text without the covers of tUe
Bible. God and his religion are entailed upon
oue—man aud his government upou the other, aud
it is of these that he must speak. One day in the
week we cousecrato to public worship ; one day
in the year we devote to patriotism, and as the
preacher, so should the orator, endeavor to blend
instruction with zeal, aud amid gratitude and rejoicing to instil such bitter lessous as History has
taught the world. To teach that it is only by his
own eclf-denial, watchfulness and wisdom, that
man may hope to retain whatever blessings be enjoys in life, more especially that which we hold to
be the greatest boon of existence.
To-day, fellow-citizens. Young America celebrates the Fourth of July ! Young America celebrates its birthday ! To-day it takes upon itself
a share of that responsibility, which, in years to
Come, must contribute so largely to the weal or
unhappiness of the world, and unfolds the first
budding leaves of that patriotism whose germ lies
deeply buried in the human aonl—a patriotism,
which, like the youug shooting vino, tender but
full of sap, foretells the coming harvest on its first
putting forth. May its cultivatiou be cherished
until the promise ripens to that full grown fruit
from which is pressed;thc true wine of life—liberty
modified by age—liberty, which clouds not the
mind with intoxication. Springs of water which
rise aud gush iu miniature fountains from the
earth, in the impetuosity of their first ebullition
bring to the surface aud boar upon their being the
evidences of their earthly birth. It is not at the
fountain head we seek the purest wave, but at a
little distance down the stream, where calmness
relgua, and the trembling shock is stilled, we
kneel and drink the sweetess draught. So is it
with patriotism iu youth. Glowing with the ardor
of its own existence, and reckless of what sands it
hears withiu its bosom, it strives to reach the upper air, and look upou the god of day ; but soon
suffused with light, softened in vehemence and the
first burst of sparkling joy with which it woke to
life, subdued—'it gently settles to tranquillity, and
nave those mineral compounds which adhere with
Indissoluble affinity, like vice, tirnvrooted in the
human heart, it sinks ail ruder ingredients, and
then, fresh and translucent, rests for a moment,
seeking a channel wherein to direct its further
energies. It is then that a mere motion of the
hand may start it on its journey, and guide it to a
chanrrel where its pure wave will not become contaminated by a loathsome marsh, nor its vivifying
waters dried upon an arid desert. The patriotism
of youth, though clear, is undefined. Like all its
first-born affections, it frets as an ardent steed' to
break from its restraint and gallcp wheresoe'er it
lists, headlong and free. But the mind, which is
the ruler of the hum^u race, must hold the reins
and guide and curb its wild impetuosity. The
mind, instructed and chastened, most be the brake
applied to every indigenous passion of it3 fiery
nature.
There are two kindi of love. There is a love
that lowers man to the brutes ; there is another
which raises him to the gods. The one is base,
rude, and degrading,' the other is high, refined,
ennobling! So are there two kinds of patriot-ism.
There is a patriotism that grovels in the dust. There
is another which made one Brutus the slayer of
his own sou} another, au assassin; which sundered
the bonds of friendship between a Burke and a
Fox; which made immortal the names of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hancock, and Henry, and
gave birth to the day we now celebrate. The oue
is the base love of country, fouuded on instinct;
the other iB the refined love, founded in nobleness
of pout and reason. The one would destroy the
world in the selfishness of its love ; tho other, in
the disinterestedness of its affection, would freely
flowi^'c'v'" ri%^^i:;'. 'iL'fj-"^c is the patriotism
which debases-itself to follow kings and Ul'^Dy i
the other would only livo to breathe the mountain-!
air ot liberty. There is no mau, however degraded I
he be, but has the love of country rooted in his!
nature. But the mere love of the soil that gave
us birth is not sufficient. Tho boastful patriotism
that can see no good in any country but its own :
the*bustling patriotism, that expends itself in the
loud hurrah aud firing of cannon ; the haughty
patriotism that struts over the soil of our blessed
Union, as if it owned the premises—these are not
the kind of patriotism, however much in vogue,
befitting a free, candid, and intelligent nation like
our own. But then, for want of exercise, ia our
patriotism degenerating : Should occasion require, no doubt we could produce another Thermopylae or Salamia—another Lexington or York-
town. No dcubt we could find another Horatius,
such as he who, alone, defended ihe passage of the
Tiber against the horde of Porsena until the
bridge, the sole material link between him and
Rome, was broken down behind him. No doubt
we could find another such as be who thrust his
hand into the flame, aud, unshaken, saw it wither
from the wrist, to show what fortitude the love of
country can inspire. No doubt we could find another Manlius to defend our Capitol—we have al
and within our walls, an Instrument of national
defense, agaiust which the allied despotism of the
world were unavailable.
And what is Hub potent engino we possess, so
newly iuveuted? Whut mighty wisdom have we
acquired that was never known before? It is the
wisdom of truth that-will prevail. The truth
that spread the principle until it has become an
axiom in our land—the truth that mau, to be capable of self-government, rant be educated. The
thought has become hackneyed until it has lost
ita force ; but so true as there is a God in Heaven, so true ia it that, Jfor our government to
stand, for constitutional liberty ever to flourish
ou this earth and bless mankind ; the people must I
be eulightened through education. Education 1
noble, sublime, Gud-like Education! Vain was
the Archimedean boast of moving the world ;
preposterous the Atlantean fable of supporting
the world. But education can do both. Upon its
ample shoulders, the earth, with all the weight of
its sin, its misery, its tumults, its passions,its good
aud its evil, may be borne in safety and advanced to happiness. Education is tlie Washington, the Howard, the benefactor of the human
race! Would to Heaven it were appreciated now
as it will be hereafter. It is the only hope of
America, and America is tbe only hope of the
wcrld, The eyes of mankind are upou us.—
Should our govwrnraent from any cause whatver
prove a failure, the dial which marks the progress of the human miud wiil be set back a thousand years. But why talk of failure? We will
not fail. Education will triumph ! America will
triumph !
Yon vineyards so suggestive of Lilliputian forests wiiich surround us on every aide and bear
under its glossy leaves the miniature promise of
an abundant yield, arc a graphic and never-ceasing proclamation to us of the pre-eminent excellence of cultivation. Take from tbein for one year
the plow, the hoe, the pruuiug knife, the husbandman, and watch the result. A mass of tangled weeds; of rank grown vines; an unsightly
wild ; a blighted harvest. The human mind is a
vineyard. The trials of life arc its pruniug-
knife ;   Education its husbandman.
The softening influence education has'upon our
natures is perhaps ita most peculiar attribute.—
It polishes the rugged surface we acquire by contact with the world aud endows us with the true
courtesies of life. It mollifies, it discipliues,'aud
by the force of reason incites us to banish from
our thoughts and feelings, every extreme. Thus
are we fitted for happiness; thus aie we fitted
for self-government. There sre some intellects so
transcendantly endowed by nature as to break
through tho shackes which bind the coramoa
mind and arrive by intuition at results that others can reach by severest study alone. But such
angel visits are few indeed. The true equality of
man can be acquired by education only. It alone
can equalize every rank of life and through each
degree cement the bonds of fraternity.
I speak in behalf of Young America, that he
be educated. It is one of the rights he most imperatively demauds. It is one of the rights he acquired wheu that Declaration was signed, eighty-
three years ago ; aud every youth who is suffered
to grow up in iguorance, and as a consequence,
to unhappiness, is as shamefully robbed of those
rights as we would be, fellow citizens, to be arrested for the celebration of this day and incarcerated iu a dungeon. What bosom does not
swell at the thought of our country's future
greatness. Young America has that greatness in
his owu hands. Who would not have that structure whose foundations our fathers laid, added to
by our children aud our children's children, until
perfected to a mass whoso grandeur, like the
dome of St. Peters', shall stand to the admiration
and reverence of Eternity ! Who would not have
our country which we have symbolized by au
eagle,—in dignity, in sublimity, in loftiness of
flight, in resistless power,  a Tennyson's Eagle:—
■' He clasps the crag with hooked hands;
Close to the Sun, iu lonely lauds,
Ringed with the azure world he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls',
He Watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls!"
And you, I am sure, Ladies, are exerting the
great influence you possess to the same uoble end.
It is necessary for man to endure a severe course
of mental discipline to gloss his rugged surface
with even a show of the refinement which nature
has so profusely and unaffectedly bestowed*,.upon you. Or else wiy^tkkruouhty. could he still
retain his■ vigor of mind, governments had been
pertGGi; long ago. How often are wc told that the
mother of great men made those men what they
were. No doubt an equally great number could
be found whose mothers were not model mothers—
at least, it has been observed that great men's
wives are uot all model wives. .But without disparaging these excellent women, I will venture to
assert, that there are mothers here to day who, in
every quality essential to make their sons great
aud good, are as generously endowed as these.—
These obeyed but the natural teachings of a good
woman, and the promptings of a mother's heart;
the women of California possess both. The womeu
of California—they are heroines! Heroines, worthy of a place beside the most worthy of that name.
How many have there been who/brought up to all
the comforts of life, have actually walked two
thousand miles across the Plains r how many have
undergone the equally arduous journey around the
stormy Cape; how mauy have even fought the
savage Indians, and over the dead bodies of their
husbands, preserved their own and their children's
lives, and overcome so many other dangers until
hearts that tremble at the explosion of fire-arms,
have taught their own bauds to use them unflinchingly in defease of life and honor. With what
ations inei
dental to a new country, the separation from home
and kindred, the change with some from luxury
to bare necessity—aud oh ! the hopeful endurance
with which some have borne tbe keenest of all
ills, the ills of poverty, place the women of California, in my mind, upou an equality with the noblest earth ever produced.
Gladly would I p%y a tribute.to our noble State,
destined to be one of the mast prosperous and
happy of the Union. But I can only say. we
should deem ourselves fortunate in having our
abode in the most beautiful and promising portion
of it. It would seem (hat Homer conceived in
his imagination such a spot as the " City of the
Angels/' when he described the fabled Atlantic
Isles:—
"Stern winter smiles on that auspicious clime,
The fields are florid with uufading prime.
From the bleak pole no winds inclement blow,
Mould the round hail or flake the fleecy snow ;
But from the breezy deep the blesa'd inhale
The fragrant murmurs of tho western gale.

danger. But there are uot now the circumstance
to bring out such men. The civic patriotism, the
patriotism which ia time of peace would struggle
to see its country great and powerful—not through
the doubtful mazes of political policy, but by the
straight, onward course of justice, candor and integrity. This is the kind of patriotism that should
now be taught our youth. And well would it be
for them and for our future destiny, could we set
them numerous examples—at least some examples
of the patriotism of Pacdaretue, who, when he lost
his election as one of the Three Hundred, went
away rejoicing that there were three hundred better men than himself to be found in Sparta.
When I look back six thousand years along the
Btream of time; when I trace the history of the
human race through sixty centuries of degrada-
dation; when I think upon those lands, where
hearts fired with their inborn llamc of liberty,
Bwelled big and bursting; on lauds where -genius
Bhown as brightly as on ours; where patriotism
glowed as fervently; where virtue as supremely
reigned. When I think upon all the blood that
has been Bpilled; on all the high hopes that have
beau raised and lost; on the heavy load of shame
that has helplessly been heaped upon liberty and
humanily. Whenl think how little has been gained
through all these years ol  geniu3 and ignorance,
of hope and despair, of nobleness anddepravity,my
heart almost tails me to turn to. those happy expectations wc have cherished for our own nurtured land.    Where shall we find through all these
years, one government worthy  of the  dignity of
the  human  race? for    man  is  dignified!    Man's
destiny is high! it is only before his God that  be
is   weak    and humble.     Where   Bhal)   we   find
through all these ages, one government on which
the eye delights to rest—one   government which
we could cill free, perfect, blessed.   Well may we
pause.     Well   may   we calm  our ardour.     Six
thousand years' experince before -the  nations  of
the earth, and we the only one to profit!    Sixty
centuries of darkness and we the first to see!   Six
thousand, years of misrule,   and we  the first to  be
blessed!    Our    country  is young; isolated, from
the mass of mankind, it is free from the influences
and prejudices which.time and precedent have imposed to shain the human thought ; youthtful, its
energies are great; extensive—the  held   for the
exercise of those energies is vast.
But shall we, it la often asked, when a dense
population shall.have spread over our forests and
plains, and discontent clamor with needy jaws,—
shall we then find our position secure ? our fortress
impregnable? We shall, we shall. The advancement and happiness of all mankind is staked on
our existence ', 'he bust ol Heaven is with  us;

E. P. RUSSELL'S   PATENT.
FRANCIS   MELLTTS,
HAVING purchased the patent right of tha above
valuable invention, for tbe purpose of supply-
l ng the counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino
aud San Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which ho may be favored.
The public are aware that it has been the study of
scientific men, architects and builders, for many years
to discover an article for Roofing purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes of climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against, fire. Thi
inventor of this roofing labored many years to com
bine articles which would answer the above purpose
and obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by
tho sun and frost of tbe various compositions used
(or roofing. This he succeeded in doing, and now,
after six years of the severest trial we would invite
tho careful attention of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will bo fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, in
which respects we believo that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of every description, either steep or flat, and
can bo pitton over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost of the latter.
Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of
the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling
or canvass is used, which is 'thoroughly saturated
with a perfectly water-proof preparation, after which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of {the
Hour of soapstonc, which sets into the texture of the
canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
is put upon tbe roof, another coating of mastic,which
is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it
fireproof iu every respect. By exposure,"this coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that
can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as
durable as anything known; and we do most candidly
and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything
of the kind yet discovered; and alter a severe test
ot many years, stand H3 reliable and good as when
first put on, without change or decay. All that we
ask is, that a careful examination may be given it,
and wc feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give
you tho names of some of tho persons using this
roofing, and to whom we are at liberty to refer:

H&n Vranclsco  Correspondence.
By the last mail we received a long and well
written letter from a correspondent in San Francisco, but from some cause to us unknown, it did
not reach ua until its contents had long been anticipated, by previous arrivale. We regret this
very much, and hope our correspondent will attribute tho non-appearance of hia favor to the
proper cause. We take the following items from
a subsequent letter :—
The Bteamer Washington, bound from New York
for this place with passengers, has at last arrived'
after a trip of some 265 days ; she came from Panama in sixteen days. Since her arrival, attachments to the extent of $22,000 have been levied
on her, being lor seamen's hire, and repairs while
at Valparaiso, which the Captain did not pay, but
up with anchor and left; since raised to $40,000.
The owners have failed, therefore cannot meet her
bills, and she will be sold by the U. S. Marshal.
The Italian opera troupe are still perform jng at
the American Theatre. The house is crowded every night, being a marked epidence of appreciation.
Mr. Collins  and Miss Morarit perform at Ma-
guire's Opera House, likewise to crowded houses.
The weather for the past week has been beauti.
ful, though the evenings were somewhat cold.

IoxH City/, Amador Co., July 17, 1859.
Fiuend Hamst/tos.—Having promised when I
met you iu Sacramento, to sead you occasionally
a few items from this place, formerly oue of your
constituency, and among whom, I assure you. you
have still many warm friends, I will endeavor to
keep my promise, but you must not expect a long
letter, nor any exciting or startling incidents. We
are a quiet, peaceable people, attend to the culture of our fields aod il-jcks, aud enjoy life as well
as we can. The "city," has greatly improved du.
ring the past two or three years, so much bo that
you would not recognise it. Miniag is carried ou
extensively iu our vicinity, but our staple is agriculture. The crops are excellent this year; I nev-
finer wheat in my life than the valley produces; there is neither smut oor rust; corn ia most
luxuriant; and indeed all the grain crops will yield
well. Fruit is abundant, although in the early
part of the year the frost injured many of the
trees. We will have au immense crop of peaches,
and abundance of apples, pears, cherries, plumbsi
&o, &c. Iu fact, the valley ia more productive
this year than any former one I have known,—
G-rapes have not been tried extensively here, but
those planted grow well. The mountains are well
stocked with grapes, the various ditches affording
the greatest facilities for irrigation. This is especially true of your old home, Mokelumne Hill.
Send along your paper—many of tho "old
stand-bys'' would like to renew acquaintance with
you.   Youra, A. E, W.

Saltpetre for the Belligerents.
We often aee, in the columns of our California
papers, notices of aalpetre being fouud. It is rather
singular none of these saltpetre discoveries have
been turned to account with us, as saltpetre is easily made and is a valuable product always in de-
maud. During the last year of the Crimean war,
aa much as twelve millions of dollars worth of
saltpetre was exported from Calcutta, being
brought to that port from the upper districts of
Bengal, which are stated in the books to be very
similar in its qualities to the soils round the Tulare Lakes, and the country iu the vicinity of Gil-
roy, Santa Clara county, where it was reported
last year saltpetre waa found. The article is said
to be met with near Sao Fernando Mission, and
other portiona of the southern counties. We understand that saltpetre is of easy manufacture, being simply made from the leechings of earths containing soda and other alkaline substances, which
is collected in a reservoir and then boiled down
like salt until it crystaiizes. A California friend
tells us that many years ago. in making soap near
Gilroy, from the soda or Tequisqute found in that
neighborhood, he often collected saltpetre crys-
talized in the soda leeching and proved its nature
from its taste, and throwing it in the fire.
We hope, therefore, to see this saltpetre matter
stirred up in our State, as it would be a profitable
manufacture and export from California, and particularly 8b it ia so easily aud cheaply made.—

Overland Mall  Petition.
The Overland Mail petition to continue the
twice a week mails from Memphis and Fort Smith
to Los Angeles, was enthusiastically received at
San Juan, Monterey, and Santa Cruz, and was immediately signed by the most influential citizens
of all classes aud languages of these towns, lo
one of these petitions not less than seventeen different nationalities were represented.—Santa
Cruz Sentinel, July 2d.
The Last Candidate fob thk Presidency.—
Hon. William Smith, sometimes calied "Extra
Billy" for shortness, who has just beeo re-elected
to Congress from the Seventh District of Virginia,
has been proposed by a party, who honored him
with a serenade, as a suitable candidate of the
Democratic party for President iu 1SC0. The aspirants accumulate, We have now, in Virginia
alone, Governor Wise, Gov. Smith, would-be-Gov
Goggiu, Gov. elect Letcher, and Senator Huuter.
Books and newspapers have multiplied to such
an exteut in our country that it now takes seven
hundred and fifty papermills with two thousand
engines in constant operation, to supply the printers who work night and day. These millsprodu-
duced 270,000,000 pounds of paper lastyear, which
immense supply sold for about S27.000,000. A
pound and a quarter of rags are required for a
pound of paper, and 340,000, pounds were therefore consumed in this way last year.
Mr. Edwin Forrest, the tragedian, at a meeting
of the Fraud Lodge of Free Masons, of New York,
last week, presented the Lodge with a check for
$500, being the amount of the verdict recently
awarded him in the libel case against N. P. Willis.
The sum goes towards the fund for the relief of
widows and orphans of Free Masons.
The   British Periodicals.
Tne North British Review, is fully eqal in
literary merit to the other quarterly publications.
A review of Masson's " Milton and his Times"—a
biographical sketch of Douglas Jerrold, select
memoirs of Port Royal—the British Presa—Indian Colonization, aad public life of Lord Brougham
are all treated at length and in the most able
manner. We feel justified in heartily commending the North British to the attention oi our
readers.
The Londox Quarterly contains an article
" War inltaly" which will be read wilh unusual
interest at the present time. In a review of " Car-
lyle's Frederick the Great1' the conclusion is arrived at, that the work may be fairly regarded as
a vehicle for the expression of the author's opinions ou men and things. The most important
paper is that on " Bunsen's Egypt and the Chronology of theBible." Tbe remainig articles afford
a welcome variety to the number.
These periodicals are reprinted by Scott & Co,

Lord Napier writes that the impression in
Loudon is that Germany will soon be involved iu
the war. and with Germany al! Europe. The German Governments are opposed to interference, but
the excitement among the people is so wild that
they cannot be cheeked. An army will march to
the Rhine, he thinks atan early day. This necessarily involves England in the fight.

of the beBt kind. The prospects of the company
were believed to be improving daily.
Awful Shipwreck:.—By the arrival of the
Ethiope at Liverpool, we hear of a Bad accident to
a British-war sloop, aud terrible loss of life in consequence. The unfortunate vessel, the Heron, waa
caught in a tornado off the coast of Africa, and
capsized, when 107 persons perished, only 27 of
those who were on board being rescued.
Austrian Prisoners.—The Post's Puris correa-
pondent says, more than 4,000 of the prisoners
taken by the allies are Italians.   They say they
took the earliest opportunity of giving themselves
up.   They were always placed in the front, and
threatened generally by the Croats in the rear, if
they did not fight well.    Mauy have offered to
join the allies, but have not yet been accepted.
