San BicRNitniNO, June 26th, 1859,
Editor Star—The "Dramatic Association" of
this place have in reher+rsal another local farce,
founded onfacts, of course, as you will see from
the report of our late Graud Jury. I will send
you a copy of some of the most interesting scenes
for your perusal.
Quito a fashionable wedding came offhereon
the-15th inst,, Bethel Coopwood, Esq. to Miss Josephine Woodard, both of this cily. The ceremony
was performed in a very imposing manner, by Elder Seely, at the residence of the bride's father.
After the marriage ceremony, the happy-pair entertained the guests to an elegant supper, which
consisted oi all tho delicacies aud luxuries of the
season. On the evening of the 2Ist inst. Mr. Coop
wood gave a grand ball at the American Hotel ;
the attendance of ladies and gentlemen was great
er than I have ever seen at a ball iu this place_
The ball continued until the dawn of'morn, all
unwilling to leave the festive scene; and whe"
they left it was with heartfelt wishes for the peace
and prosperity of tho young couple, who had
started together upon life's matrimonial path, I
wish them a long life and a happy one.
The weather here has been intensely hot for several days past, the thermometer indicating as high
as 116 to 118, in the shade.

E. P. RUSSELL'S  PJITE.VT.
FRANCIS   MELIUS,
HAVING purchased the patent right ofthe above
valuable invention, for the purpose of supplying tho counties of Los Angelea, San Bernardino
and San Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The public are aware that it has been the study of
scientific men, architects aud buiiders, for many, years
to discover an article for Roofing purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
to water, and of suro protection against fire. The
inventor of this rooliug labored many years to combine articles which would answer the above purpose
Jind'obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upou tin and shingles, and the destruction by
the sun and frost of the various compositions used
for 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 thoy will be fully convinced of ita
practical valuo both for durability and economy, in
which respects we believe that its equal is not at
preseut known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of every description, either steep or flat, and
can bo put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than tbe 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
witb a perfectly waterproof preparation, after which
it receives a thick coating, upon both Bides, of the
(lour of soapstone, which sets into the texture of tbc
canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very
elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared,
ia put upou the roof, another coating of mastic,which
is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it, making it
fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes (inn and solid, giving you a roof that
can be walked upou 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
of many years, stand as reliable and good as when
first put on, without change or decay. All that wo
ask is, that a careful examination may be given it,
and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give
you the names of some of the persons using this
roofing, aud to whom we are at liberty to refer:

The War   News.
A great battle has been fought in Italy, the accounts giving the victory to the French. But it has
been found, heretofore, that the Austrian accounts
differ widely from those which we first receive.
There seems to have been a morbid desire on the
part of the people generally, to hear of some grand
battle, wherein hundreds of thousands of men were
led up to slaughter, and thousands left dead on the
ground. The previous battles, of Montibello, and
Palaestro, have been denominated fifth rate contests, but we think the moat ardent war hero will he
satisfied with tho massacre at Magenta—250,000
nsen in battle,—a slaughter of »t least 30,000 human beings.
Propositions of peace will no doubt now be made
by some ofthe neutral powers; but we do not think
that Austria is in a condition to accept them. She
has fought well, but victory has not crowned her
efforts ; she could not claim the listatu quo ante,"
nor is it to be expected that France would grant it;
Austria has not put forth all her power, and until
she does so, and is made to feel the force of France,
and her own inability to cope with that great Empire, she will prolong tho struggle, which seems
destined to close with her defeat and dismemberment.
As the Evening Post says, the brunt of the war
is now at hand. Austria thus far has been merely
driven from her outposts, and will undoubtedly
concentrate her armies in the districts defended by
what have been considered the four impregnable
citadels, Lignano, Peschiera, Verona, and Mantua.
Three of these aro disposed in a triangular position, and armed with such completeness, that tbey
are spoken of as models of military and engineering art. In the revolution of 1848, the condition
of the Austrians was nearly as desperate as it now
is; nevertheless, Radetzki, supporting himself on
these fortresses, and rallying from them as the occasion required, reduced Lombardy to subjectiou
once more, and succeeded in expelling the Sardinian King, Charles Albert, to his own side ofthe
Ticino. With equal generalship, the French will
find it no easy thing to bring about the end at
which they aim—the abandonment of Lombardy
by Austria.
Garribaldi has been doing wonders for Victor
Emanuel in the Alpine mountains, and in Uie vicinity of the famous Lake of Como. He has engaged
the Austrian forces, and on each occasion routed
them. At times, it was supposed ho was hemmed
and considered an easy prey, but with wonderful
tact he makes his way through the defeat and dispersal of his foes.
The Sardinians have behaved throughout with
great bravery, and show themselves worthy allies
of tho FveiioL pfiopio.
The latest telegraphic dispatches, copied from the
Missouri Republican, will be found below :—
Later front Europe.
Desperate and bloody fight at Magenta,
Farthek Point, Below Quebec, June 18.—The
steamship Anglo-Saxon,  from Liverpool  on  the
18th inst., passed this point this morning, bound
for Quebec.
Her advices are four days later. In the Liverpool cotton market the quotations reported by the
last steamer were barely main tained. and in some
cases there were sales at a decline of Jd.
All qualities ot bread stuffs had slightly de-

The steamer Anglo-Saxon brings most important
news from tbe seat of war. A great bottle has
beeD fought near Milan, in which the Austrians
were defeated, with the loss of 20,000 killed and
disabled; 5,000 Austrians were taken prisioners.
The French loss is estimated at 12,000. The
AustriaDS bave evacuated Milan
The Queen's speech was delivered in Parliament on the 7th inst. It contains nothiog very
important. A motion v*as pending ot a want of
confidence in the ministry. .
Later.—A desperate battle was fought at Magenta on the 4th of June, between the allied army
under the Emperor Napoleon and the Austrian
army under Gen. Hess, in which unlimited forces
were engaged on both sides.
The Emperor Napoleon, in his despatches to the
Empress at the Tuilleries, claims a decisive victory, saying that his army took 7,000 prisoners, disabled 12,000, and captured three cannons and two
standards. He estimates the loss of his own army
at 3,000, but it was rumored in Paris that the
French loss was between 9.000 aud 12.000.
It is reported that there was from 150,000 to
180,000 Austrians, and 130,000 French engaged in
the battle.
Tbe Austrian accounts differ widely from those
ol tbe French. Their bulletins speak of several
battles being fought, with varying success on both

It is stated that the prosDectus of a new company will be issued in a few days, for laying a telegraphic cable from Cornwall to'Canada. The proposed capital is £500,000 sterling.
A ; great explosion of sail peter occurred on

Five out of the seven los were children, who were

Prussia.—The terms of the new loun by the

Tucson, May 27th, 1859.
Friend Hamilton—There's a dearth of anything
of interest since the Mexican difficulties. The following items! obtained from a portion of the
Gila prospecting party, who have returned here.
If they have been anticipated as news, you probably can find something in them to work into paragraphs.
The party numbered fifty, starting from their
rendezvous at the crossing ot the San Pedro—
struck in a northerly direction to head of Mineral
Creek, thence across the Pinal mountains to the
Salinas, which they followed to its head in the
Sierra Blanca, where tbe five who returned left
them ; the balance of the party, taking a northeast direction, intending to goto tbe sources of
the Rio Bonita.
They found the country well watered and timbered—-plenty of fine arable lands, and excellent
grazing throughout. Apaches alt professed friendship.
Upon the Salinas and its tributaries they found
the "color" wherever they ptospected, but no
amount that warranted their stopping to work. I
have seen several small t-pecimens which they obtained from the Apaches. One of the Pinal chiefs
agreed to meet the party at Tucson, on San Juan's
day—24th of June—and conduct the party to^a
point where he said they could obtain plenty of
coarse gold. At a rancheria, on A'usgong Creek
a tributary of the Salinas—they found an old
chief who could speak fair Spanish, who informed
tbem that in a large mountain at the head of tho
Salinas?, there was a cave, through which ran a
vein of glittering ore, a vara in width ; but when
tho Spauish Padres visKed the country, many
years ago, they were forbidden by them to ever
visit the place, under penalty of death He said
further, that there were four boys always watching for the approach of any one, which they signalized by a smoke from tho top ofthe mountain.
They were willing the Americans should go there,
but declined piloting them. The same thing was
told them at three other raricherlasj at some distance from the first named. So you will sec that
it amouuta to something more than a traditional
story.
I am acquainted with the persons who gave me
this information, and you may rely upon it.
Yours, respectfully, 3.
It was still undecided on the night of the Gth,
to who gained the victory.
Great losses on both sides are reported.
Genera! of Division, Espinasse, of the second
corps d'armee, was killed, and Marshal Caurobert
command of the third corps, was mortally wouu-
ded.
General Maurice McMahon, commanding second
corpus d'armee, has been created Marshal and Duke
de Magenta, os a reward for his bravery on the
battle-field.
Five of tho French Marshals and Generals
were wounded.
.; Marehal Count Barraguay d'HIUiers, has been
superceded in his command of the first corps d'ar-
ee, by Geu. Forey.
Four Austrian Generals ond five staff officers
were wounded ot the battle.
There had been a general revolt at Milan, and
the people had declercd in favor of tbe King of
Sardinia.
The Austrians bad retired from Milan, but the
city had not yet been occupied by the French.
Later rumors detract from the French claim to
the victory at Maeenta.
It was believed that proposals of peace would
follow tho entrance of the French army   iuto Mi-
lttD.     '
France.—The city of Paris had been illuminated in honor of tho viotory oftheFrench army at
Magenta.
The Paria Bourse wos active and the 3's had advanced.
Turin, June 3.—Gen. Garibaldi baa surprised
and defeated the Austrians at Varez, and that
town is again free of the enemy. Geu. Garibaldi
reentered Como on the night of the 2d. Gen. Niel
entered Novara on tbe first after a slight encounter with the Austrian out posts, who shortly fled.
The Emperor arrived the eame evening amid
the acclamation ot the people.
The Ausfrinus attempted to cross the Po at Ba-
signaro, but the inhabitants opposed them, firing
upon aud destroying an Austrian bark. The Vat-
teline is in a state of insurrection.
The town ot Saudrio bas proclaimed for King

The Recent Calamities—A Warning.
The truths of Scripture aro of general applica
tion. They are addressed as much to the people
of to-day, aa applicable to those who shall enact
their part on the world's stage a century hence,
as they were to those whom the thunders of Sinai
appealed, or who listened to the precepta of love
and good will falling from the lips of our Divine
master. All scripture is given by inspiration, and
is profltable for instruction, for reproof, and correction. Of the many precepts of religion, there
is none which appeals more forcibly to our judgment, which so fully corresponds with our expert,
ence, aa thia one—" la the midst of life we are In
death." Based on the experience of human ity during all time, sound iu its philosophy, it teaches,
in tones persuasive and eloquent, a lesson which
none should forget, but which few seem to remember. We know not what a day, an hour may
bring forth; man growethup as a flower, and is cut
down; in a moment, In the twinkling of au eye
the place that knows him will know him no more
forever. Then, how important the admonition —
" Prepare to meet thy God," Let man neglect,
or rail at, religion, aa he may, there is within him
monitor, the low, peaceful voice of conscience that disturbs his forced conclusions, and
tells him that he is immortal. This mortal shall
put on immortality; this corruption shall put on
incorruption; the mind, the soul, the active, life
giving principle, bounding witb hope and animation, ever looking forward, instinct with godlike
conviction of its inherent eternity ot existence—
the soul, far-seeing, wide reaching, comprehending the past, with inquisitive gaze, peering into
the dim future,—this holy principle was not,
could not have been, imparted to mau merely to
animate the body of his present existence, and be
condemned to cold annihilation's palsied doom
No, man is immortal; that immortality shall be
passed in happiness or misery. ; Then let us so
number our days, as to apply our hearts unto wisdom—that wisdom which cometh from above, and
teaches us whilst here, to prepare for hereafter.
We have lately seen Death's arrows carry oil,
suddenly, our fellow-citizens, one after another;
snatching them away in tbe full bloom of life and
manhood, almost without warning, from all that
waa dear and loved. Ofall modes by which the
bills of mortality are filled, we bave lately
se'jn Death tho Inexorable, assume amongst us
the most startling, the most horrible. Whose
time may it not be next, and at what moment?
It is a solemn lesson, an awful warning ! Let   each
lay it to heart.
