THE OBION RECORD, OEOVILLE. SATTJBDAY, OCT. 28. The Natal Admiral Porter bu taken command of the Naval Academy at Ahnapofis. The glorious old frigate Contnta't-r is attHrorH off the yard as a and so is tie Santee, while the steam gunboat Marblehead, with the Macedonian, Savannah, Wicr.ipee, Marrion, and the yacht America, a squadron for practice.

The enibroy naval heroes not only study naatical but learn to know the ropes" and the boilers also. To enter the Naval Academy boy have political irfluer.ee enough to secure his nomination for appointment by a member of Congress, but any smart and bea'thy lad can enter one of the Government naval apprentice schools. There are at present fonr of the Sabine at New London, the Savannah at Annapolis, the Michigan at Erie and the Tioga at Portland (Me.) The bovs are qualified at these schools to become cAkers," and a few of the most promising are transferred to the Naval Academy, that it is really the first step towards a Real commission. It is not improbable thab one of these ichool ships may be established next year at San Francisco, with an Bipedal view to rear seaman f'-r the Pacific waters. The Boilers of tub Yoskmitk.

The San Francisco Bulletin learns that the owners of the Yosemite. which is now undergoing repairs, have decided to remove both of her boilers and replace them ith boilers made of American iron. There is little doubt that had the boiler which exploded been made of American iron, the terrible calamity would never have occur red. The boilers of the Yosemite were in process of manufacture when the law was passed by Congress requiring the use of American iron, and the United Slates Boiler Inspector, Bemis, hesitated at first to give the steamer a certificate; but, us there was no American iron in the market at that time, some discretion had to bo exercised, and certificate was granted. Bemis, however, gave notice to the Company that in future no certificate would be given lor any boilers not made of American iron.

majority is abont 50. Two Major Generals are running for the office of Secretary of Sla'e of York Miners' Convention. Tbe qaeslioo of the policy of bolding a Convention is being diseased by tbe press of the State. Old Butte has interest ia tbe question, having a Urge scope of bat partially prospected mining country, we hope that all movements calculated to develop our latent wealth wkl receive the co-operation of oar entire mining community; and as a convention of miners will have a tendency to call out a full expression as to tbe wants of the miner, and tbe various methods proposed to obtain the desired more extensive and profitable working of tbe tbe Convention be held at an early day. Tbe Mining and Scientific Press thinks one immediate object o' the proposed convention should, and doubtless would be, to take tbe necessary steps to place before Congress a truthful and intelligent statement of the present condition of our mines, with a view of enabling that body to act intelligently and wisely in the matter of legislating with reference to them.

The Nevada Enterprise is also in favor of establishing a permanent association, with local organizations, having corresponding secretaries to keep each other and tbe parent association apprised of alt experiments or discoveries of importance which may come within their knowledge. The plan adopted by agricultural associations, with a slight fee for membership, is suggested or any plan, in fact, which would tend to create a concert of thought and action among the gold and silver miners of the Pacific States and Territories. These suggestions are certainly worth the careful consideration of the mining public, and if some such plan could be inaugurated and successfully carried out, it could hardly fail of proving of vast importance to the mining interests generally. Upon this subject, tbe Marysville Appeal remarks Mining has been, is and will remain one of the great leading interests of California. Its gold, copper and iron mines are uoequaled in the world.

If systemized and developed as they may be, their annual products may be doubled. We have the euergy.experience and skill to work our rich ledges of gold, but we lack system, machinery and capital. To obtain capital, the richness and identity of the mines must be made visible. After being seen, to make them profitable, labor must be systemized. What better step towards the inauguration o( these necessities than for the responsible and sound headed assemble in State Convention, where mutual consultations can be had.

and a generol know! edge given and obtained of all the various mines and their peculiarities? There is another important reason why a Convention of miners should be held at this time. The Government, in its hard press for revenue, has been looking for increased taxes upon the mines. Unacquainted with the manner of mining and the small profits of tbe operator, and only judging by the grand total productions, the Government erroneously believes that the mines should an increased lax. If a if tale Convention is held, it will be a most happy opportunity for the miners to express their opinions, hacked by such facts and figures as will satisfy the Government that the miners of California are now overloaded with taxation. Such a Convention would also give dignity to the calling, and do much towards maintaining its political influence io local legislation, which has always existed between the mining and agricultural counties.

It would also give notoriety to our mining interests abroad. It would attract the eye of capitalists who have money laying idle wailing for investment. It would stimulate the genius of our mechanics, and conduce to the manufacture of new and advantageous machinery for the working of complicated ores. It would increase immigra lion, and help til! tip our depopulated mining towns. It would increase taxable property, and relieve the burthens bearing so heavily upon the few left behind to pay funded debts and the necessary expenses of the State and local governments.

We say. let there be a Miners' State Con vent ion. But bow is it to be called It has no head. Who shall name time and place 7 What paper better entitled to the honor than the Shasta Courier, or Trinity Journal? Let either of these old and able mining journals name it, and oil interested will acquiesce. Statistics recently published, says the Mining and Scientific Tress, show that the deposits in the savings institutions of San Francisco amount to nearly six million dollars, for which money the depositors receive an average interest of one per cent, per month.

Out of the city, there is not a single savings bank in the State. Neither is there one in Oregon. Washington, Nevada, Idaho or Utah. Generally speaking, the industrial classes of San Francisco, ns well as the clerks and small tradesmen, are prudent and forehanded, as their bank accounts attest. VKR Tacky Indeed.

The substance of the President's remarks oo tie subject of the reconstruction of the Southern States, during the late interviews with him, has been given, with the President's approval, by Major-General Stearns, of Massachusetts. In a reply to a remark that the Democrats claim that be bad gone over to them, he intimated that the Democracy discovered that he was in advance of it, aod was cow trying to come up to his standard. He hoped it would succeed in doing so. Be reiterates bis doctrine that, notwithstanding the so-called secession of the Southern States, they were never out of the Union, but by tbeir rebellious coarse they had forfeited civil government: to reconstruct the machinery of which, as soon as practicable, be considers the chief duty of the lime.

This, be says, cannot be done in amo meul; bat such great and happy progress is being made in it that the results sometimts appear lo him like a dream. He did col expect forever lo deprive them of their former civil rights, even tbe majority of those excluded in the Amnesty Proclamation, but intended they should ask for pardon, aod thus realize the enormity of their crime. He is in favor of allowing negroes who served in the army, and those who can read and write, and those possessed of certain other qualifications to vote, bat he does not think it is policy, or that be has the right to force these conditions on the whiles of the South, though be believes they will before long concede this privilege to the freedmtn. The President also favors the has ing of representation in Congress on the num ber of qualified voters instead of on population as at present. The New York special says the Freedman's Bureau is in receipt of intelligence from Alexandria, Virginia, to the effect that the Courts continue to punish by whipping all negroes convicted of trifling offences.

The officers of the Bureau have notified the Courts that the awarding of any punishment not recognized by the laws of the State as applicable to whites, cannot be inflicted on freedmen. A Washington dispatch, dated Oct. 21st, says "The President, to day, granted amnesty pardons to 180 South the number Wm. U. Boyer, formerly a member of Congress from that Slate.

The rx-rebel Gen. Dick Taylor arrived, this morning, for the purpose of seeking pardon." Judge Sharkey and J. L. Alcorn have been elected U. S.

Senators from Mississippi. Some practical but cruel jokers have hoaxed the Mississippi negroes, it is said, with a story that next Christmas day the Government in tends to give each of them a tract of land. Hence many refuse to eater into contracts with planters for a period extending beyond that time. The Workingmen of Charleston, South Carolina. held a meeting, Oct.

16th, at which they adopted an address to their fellow-citizens, and nominated Wade Hampton for Governor. The address expresses the belief that the destruction of slavery will ultimately prove a great benefit to all the people of the State, and especially to working men, as it will lend lo free them from the monopoly of capital, and dignify labor. The hostile attitude to each other, in some parts of South Carolina, of the whiles and blacks, is represented as assuming a phase threatening serious results, unless the difficulties shall be rapidly adjusted. Especially is this the case along portions of the coast upon the sea islands, where negroes have been established on abandoned plantations, subject to the con trol of the Freedmen's Bureau. The planters who, now that the rebellion is crushed, are anxious to regain possession of these lands, allege that the freedmen are allowing them to go to ruin, do not raise enough for their own maintenance, are totally neglecting preparations for next crops, and refuse to give up possession.

The white South Carolinians ate considerably incensed against the Bureau officials, whom they charge with en couraging the negroes in their assumption. It is principally with a view to adjust these dlffi cullies that General Howard, Commissioner of the Bureau, is now oo a visit to South Carolina. A disastrous fire, attended with loss of life, occurred in the business part of Charleston- South Carolina, Oct. 18th, destroying several mercantile and manufacturing establishments, and the Courier newspaper office. The loss is estimated at 8100.000.

From thirty to forty persons were buried in the ruins, fifteen to twenty of whom, it is thought, were killed. Others were extricated in an injured and suffering condition. It is said that great agitation continues to prevail in Canada in relation to the Fenian movements. It is rumored that the present movements in Ireland are merely a rust and a feint to cover the grand design, which is, when England has thrown her troops into that country. an armed force of the order on Ibis side of the Atlantic shall seize Canada, declare it an independent State, and place it under the pro lection of the United States.

The New York Herald's City of Mexico correspondent. writing Oct.

Ist. says matters appear to grow worse for tbe Empire. The Republicans are increasing in activity and boldness, and have defeated the imperial troops in a number of recent engagements. Republican detachments swarm all over tbe country. One of them appeared within thirty-six miles of the Capital in the State of Vera Cruz.

They defy all efforts for expulsion, and in one of the towns of Ibis State have established a newspaper organ. In tbe State of Ojaco the Imperial journals admit their operations hare assumed grave proportions, while in Hocatras aod Jalisco they are sweeping all before them. The United States Consul in the City of Mex ico has been refused admittance to tbe Imperial Palace, being informed be was unknown there. It is said the rebel officers from tbe United States, now in Mexico, have refused to comply with the request of Maximilian's Secretary of War, that they should join army, adding that hereafter they coola fight under sc fitg Tt)e United will soon make a formidable naval demonstration in Chinese waters, and the English are exercised on the subject. of late West India papers, received at New York, famish additional details of the terrific hurricane which swept over the islands on the 6lh of last month.

In Gaadalnpe, particularly, it was severe. Houses were lifted from the ground, torn into pieces and blown into fragments to a considerable distance. The air was filled with flying debris. In ooe town, the hospital was blown down, and all the inma'es killed or wonnded. Between 200 and 300 were killed.

The crops of the island were destroyed. Scarcely a tree was left standing, and it is believed many vessels were stranded or sunk. A melancholy afiuir occurred in British Guiana. South America, on the of Sep tember. A party of gentlemen left Georgetown, Sept.

If the following extract not suggest it very plainly, then the writer of it acts on Talleyrand's theory, that words were made to conceal ideas. We quote from the San Francisco Examiner If there is one thing that will cause the blood of the Puritanical disorganizes and speculators to rush with quickened motion to the heart, it is the idea ol repudiation. Like a pale ghost, bow! they ever so loudly, it stalks before their visions, and will not down at their bidding. Whisper that eminous word in the ear anil they involuntarily clutch their money bags, and turn a suspicious eye to their fireproofs.

These, they know are not proof against repudiation. Let the tax ridden millions but say it, and those finely executed engravings, in whose figures are promises of untold wealth and luxuries that wealth procures, become as worthless as waste paper that Butters along the Got Home Too Virginia Eu terprise relates the following say somebody, because we don't know who it was. you who has a pretty wile and a bosom friend (of the male persuasion) went to Sacramento on business the other day, or so. He did up his business with such alacrity that he got home two days before pretty little wifey expected him. No matter that it was very late at night when he arrived; he had a night key, and knew how to find his way through the house.

He would steal upon pretty little wifey and surprise her with a kiss. Of course the virtuous dear would scream and cause a great commotion. but then it would be all right the moment she heard the well known tones of his manly voice. lie stole in. His head demure, loving wifey's head reposed upon the hosorn of his bosom friend.

There was a sound of deviltry by was goid practice in the manly art of self de fense. When the green curlaiu fell hubby lay demoralized in a corner of the room, amid the wreck of the washstnnd and furniture, and husotn friend might have been seen leaving the house with all his store clothes under his arm. Such is Washoe. From Wilmington (Los Angeles county) Journal says that ex Postmaster Whitlelsey writes, in a letter dated Calabusas, September 12th, as follows last we have arrived at the end of our journey. This place is about seven miles from the Sonora line, and has already grown to be quite a town.

She is the daughter of a preacher, and sings well. We are all going to their camp on Sunday, to hear the old man preach, and bear the girls sing. It is reported that there are many more trains between this place and the Rio Grande.

There will be warm times in this country yet. The French are in Sonora, and these California soldiers are constantly deserting, and the French refuse to give them up.

It boasts of at present two large hotels, two saloons, four stores, a flouring and sawmill, and about thirty private dwellings, with more going up every day. The Crescent Quartz Mills are situated in the lower end of the valley, and six miles from Taylorville. They have their new mill in operation and running thirty two stamps, crushing from sixty to seventy tons of rock per day. I understand they cleaned up, last week, for five or six days' run, the "nice little sum" of seventeen hundred ounces.

The old mill is being repaired at present, and when under op eratiou again, the clatter of over fifty stamps may be heard at -the Crescent." The Premium Ledge, situated about midway between the Crescent and Taylorville. is getting out some fine rock, and carting it to tbe Crescent (having no mill at tbe Premium). Tbe Premium is rich in sulphurets. and occasionally free gold can be seen diffused through the rock. When we look about us and see tbe mountains towering up on every side of the valley, and all bearing a -most look to the quartz miner, we wonder why so few ledges have been struck.

But our wonder ceases when we again cast our eyes across this beautiful valley and see the fields where, but a few weeks ago, waved the grain of the farmer, now husbanded and daily being ground at the mill, for the benefit of tbe bard working miner and mechanic, and also for the pocket of the producer.
