The Hardest Trial of the Gold Diggers. It is no wonder that so many of our people who seek their fortins" in California, cannot remain there long enough to accumulate treasure no wonder so many grow sick, with indefinite, incurable ailments no wonder so many languish, and fade, and pine away, and shuffle, broken hearted and desolate, into a strange, lonely grave, in the far away wilds of a strange land their only requiem the mu. ic of California's native minstrels, the voice of the wild turkey and the "bones" of the rattlesnake's tail. The only wonder is, how any one can live at all where there is but about one gal to a hundred fellers 1" We should have gone to California long ago, if there had been even a tolerable sprinkling of human divinities in those diggins; but we knew they were exceedingly scarce, dreadful "few and far between," more so than the much written of "angel's visits." We didn't like to ask our gal to go where she would find none but he creatures of not the most refined pattern and so we stayed to home." We thus sacrified great wealth sure in California, on the shrine of woman's fascinations hereabouts. What disinterested devotedness we have been guilty of! We are propelled to these outpourings by reading in General Winchester's Pacific News (the General, long a resident of our city, is, we are happy to say, parenthetically, in a fair way of realiz ing a new fortune in El Dorado, having become principal owner of the above named journal) a most pathetic acknowledgment of a slice of fruit cake and some sweetmeats from the United States, sent to him by a friend.

The General; whose heart was ever susceptible to fair impressions, is stirred to his deepest depths and as each spoonful of the choice preserves disappears for ever, in the ratlier capacious aperture that makes or mars our manly beauty, he busts into weepin'," and sobs forth: Again we have had old Memory tugging at our heart strings; and thoughts of home have arisen, for a moniff1 oven irrnwrline from thp min1 thoughts of glittering gold, for the obtainment of which too many of us have sundered some, perhaps, for ever the dearest ties that can bind together hearts of mortal mould." But the General's agitated nerves finally yield to the soothing influence of the sweetmeats, and by the time he is ready to masticate the plum cake he arrives at the determination that he is somewhat to be envied, and thus congratulates himself Happy the man who, toiling in El Dorado for gold, is membered thus by fair beings separated from him bv thousands of miles of mountain, desert and plain and not always wise, think we, is he who, possessing such inexhaustible mines of wealth in woman's heart, yet is willing to encounter the hardships and privations of delving: in mines of yellow dross, in a distant land." i ne gallant (jeneral, having nnished Ins dessert, is fairly gorged with sweetmeats and sentiment, plum cake and pathos, and ventB the conclusions of his intense frame of mind in the following apostrophe "Blessings on the dear creatures, who, seeking to glad one heart by kind remembrances, have illuminated with a melancholy joy another, of whom perhaps, they had never heard. There are thousands of manly bosoms in California, that beat with a quickened pulse at every recollection of the girls thev left behind Gallant, happy General Seated in thy Califor nian sanctum, revelling amidst gingerbread and gold dust, money bags and molasses confections, how art thou to be envied But we "aint mad at you," and wish you perpetual luck and 'lasses! A Deserved Compliment. We find in the Journal of Commerce the narrative of a little incident which occurred on board the steamship Philadelphia, Captain Robert W. Pearson, on her last outward passage to Chagres. A lady passenger was suffering from indisposition, which, in the opinion of physicians on board, would be much increased by continuing the voyage to Chagres, and might be considerably relieved by landing her at Jamaica.

A note was addressed to Captain Pearson by a number of the passengers, representing the condition of the lady, and asking bim in behalf of suffering humanity, to touch at Jamaica, and place the sick lady under the protection of the American Consul. The appeal was made to the right man, for as soon as Captain P. understood the suffering woman's condition, he bore up for Jamaica, and sent her on shore, with every demonstration of kindness and sympathy. The correspondent of the Journal thus speaks of Captain and we doubles every word of it," as Captain Cuttle would exclaim. He is a brother of the late Captain Charles H.

Pearson, whose life was given to his country in the Mexican war and it "runs in the family" to be honest, chival rous, and noble, in the truest sense of those much abused terms W'e have found Captain Pearson not onlv a skilful sailor, but a kind and well bred man, doing every thing in his power for the comfort of his passengers. Of course he cannot enlarge the cabins, nor establish ventilators in each of them, but he docs all that man can do to increase the Dlea sures and diminish the sufferings of those around him. He is very popular, and deservedly so; for he is a noble fellow and we all regret not to have him with us on the Pacific." Lees from the French of "lie."

The New York Globe Opposition to flic Wilmot Proviso." The Democrats of Now York city htve at length a paper well worthy their hearty support and unqualified confidence.

Politically it is sound in all essentials, vuluable as a general news medium, and its commercial department is equal to that of any of its competitors. Its editorial articles nre firm, consistent, spirited and evince, paiticularly in discussing political matters, all that ability which is bom of high intellect, close study, long experience, and shrewd observation. Such is the New York Globe, under its present management. But we take exceptions to one feature in the pa per we have so highly and so justly extolled an exception of pnl.cy and not of lact. We allude to the motto of the Globe, Opposition to the "Wil mot Proviso." The natural instinct of Democracy is abhorrence of oppression in all its forms.

Liberty is the breath of its nostrils, without which it ceases to live When the question of the Wilmot Proviso was broached, and angry discussion ensued upon the proposed application of its provisions to all new territories seeking admission into the confederacy of States, it met with general favor in the North, The Whigs seized upon it as affording an addition, al hobby to aid them in riding into power and the Democratic party sought to raise no formidable barrier to stay its progress. A sharp political campaign was at hand, and the democracy had enough work to do in trying to stop. the crevasse made in our ranks by the military furor which run so high in favor of No Party Zack. It was under this slate of things that the dangerous heresy 01 Van Buren Free Soilism crept insidiously into our ranks and took deep root, to the temporary defeat of the Democracy. The election is passed and gone.

Wilmot Proviso Whiggery won the day, and at once proceeded to kick down the ladder by which it climbed, like a thief in ihe night, to the stronghold of power. Thousands of honest and true hearted democrats have heeded the mouitions of "the soberasecond thought, and have re enlisted in the good old cause. The deceptive cry of ihe hour has been hushed by the admonuions of the constitutional compact, which guarantees to the South protection to her peculiar institution." We now submit to our friends of the Globe," whether the motto to which we have taken exceptions is not calculated to close the door against the return of many of our political brethren It looks like a standing taunt, ostentatiously ihrust forward to remind them of their wanderings. It appears like a triumphal arch erected by the victors, under winch all deserters must march with bowed heads, to offer submission to the conquorers. This should not be.

Thousands of Democrats still adhere to the Wilmot Proviso, but they are willing to keep that prejudice in abeyance while doing battle against the common foe. But when they find the leading Republican paper of the great commercial emporium of the Union proclaiming settled hostility to an honestly entertained conviction, and emblazoning that hostility conspicuously upon its banner, the pride of opinion feels the in suit and refuses its co operation for the success of the other great principles of the party. Thou sands are thus constrained to fall back without the ltiuitd of our organization, anil look on, the offend ed and and indifferent spectators to the conflict. Abolitionism in Boston. The Garrison Anti Slavery Convention now in session in Boston, appear to meet with a good deal of interruption from the outsiders.

The world, placed upon its guard by the almost daily detection of somo plausible humbug, now examines and tests every new article with BcrupiUous care, and nothing that is not intrinsically good can long flourish. Barry's Tricopherous has been subjected to this ordeal lor ten years. Every year its reputation and sales have increased until more of it is consumed annually than of any other preparation for the Hair ever offered to the American public. The discovery that it will cure diseoses of the skin, and couse wounds and ldcers to heal and olOBe, relieve all external inflammation, and remove the paiu and itching incident to stings, bites, scratches, cuts, burns, scalds, has greatly enhanced the sale of the article, and it is now known and used for these purposes, as well as to renew, beautify, and cleanse the hair, in every city and town in the Union.

Another Fatal Steamboat Explosion Over Thirty Persons Killed. St. Louis, May'28. 10 P. M.

Another terrible steamboat explosion took place this evening. The steamer St. Louis collapsed two flues, three miles below the city, at Quarantine. A frightful scene ensued ihe shrieks of the wounded and dying was the most heart rending. From all information which could be gathered in the confusion, it appears twenty five lives were lost, and forty persons wounded.

About half the number of persons scalded will certainly die. The sufferers were mostly deck passengers. I have not as yet been able to obtain the names of those killed. Nine bodies have been recovered and buried. A number were either blown or jumped overboard, some of whose bodies will probably never be recovered.

Every possible assistance has beeu rendered to the sufferers. The cause of the lamentable catastrophe is not known. The boat and machinery were all new, and the officers careful and experienced men. Badly Scalded. Christian Hall, John Williams, Peter Hacker, Harriet Smith, John Smith, Margaret Corlus, Michael Carpenter, John Lease and wife, Mrs.

After the match was over, two more matches were made between Mr. Duncan of Louisville, and Mr Ringgold of Cincinnati each to make double shots, two birds to be thrown from the trap at once. Mr.

Duncan won both matches, killing 25 birds in 26 shots at the first match, and 17 birds in 20 shots at the second match. His opponent killed 20 in the first, and 12 out of 18 shots in the second match.
