The statue of Mcmmon sent forth a
strain of sweetest melody, when tho lost
rays ot sunlight glanced upon its hal,
lowed summit; and 4ho part of Second
Washington, by the aid of the marine
band, on a Saturday evening, when it
docs not rain, discourses?amid the
4 week's woshiug, that hangs there so enticingly
to dry?most eloquent music.
Thi? music soothes the distracted car of
power, warms the sinking spirit of the
anxious office-seeker, and consoles the
wives and childien of the dismissed from
office, whose cases in the language of
Mr. Kwincr. have inst I
This national serenade, on a dryiny or
airing day, is very well for more reasons
than one; it proves to the foreign ministers
*hat the Second Washington has a
bountiful supply of clean, linen, and
satisfies them that the republic is not as
shiftless as others that have oxbtcd, and
made more smoke though less noise in the
world.
We have often imagined the feelings of
the representatives of Kingly governments
when they beheld the Second Washington
mingling with the children and nurses
in tne vicinity of the music-stand of
freedom, chewing "short-cut or long,
'tis ail the same," and inquiring the price
of marbles, while near at band, in revolutionary
simplicity, a six-penny cotton
8 hirt wooed tho soft gale, and floated in
the breeze.
The developcments which time is
daily making at the seat of government
of official transactions are as startling as
thcv are ludicrous; and occasionally we
feel like the boy who said that if he was
not attending his mamma's funeral, he
would lay down and laugh hia trowsers
off,
The government of the United States
is now Tike the scale of music, divided
into eights parts, or notes; and if a person
can only find the mi, there is but
' little difficulty in singing out the tune.
To find the mt, therefore, ia the octave,
is the thing; and It become sagacious uol
hiciins t<T employ some well-informed
yox^g gentleman whose experience in
the service of Congress and in the Washington
managing committee has given
him pre-eminent advantages to sound
the cabinet and the President beforehand
for them, and thus enable them, as slick

Thomas Tuckor of old, as recorded In
the nursery nymns of Mrs. Goose.

no more harmonize than a boss singer

"fioo-oo-oo," said tho bull. "Sound
your A," again replied the trumpeter.
At lefogtli the bull took the trumpeter I
upon his horn?? and pitched him over tho
fence. At this atrangeand extraordina- j
ry treatment on the part of a brother (
performer, the trumpeter slowly raised
himself to his feet and shaking his fist
towards tho cloud of dust that surrounded
ttyc triumphant bull, exclaimed in a
voice of mellow thunder, "You may be a
j good musiciancr, but damn me if you
I are any gentleman."
The Intelligencer has of late endeavor
a co sound his A at the connnnnd of the
' "Whig/' but 1ms mntle complete failure
of it. It lms, however, tossed tho "Whig"
into tho adjoining lot, and, in a new
prospectus, has left tho heroic age to
take care of itself. Whether the "Whig"
will admonish the Intelligencer as the
trumpeter did tho bull, remains to be
seen. At any rate, we expect great
things from the formor, nnd littlo ones
from the latter. From tho Republic we
expect another sort of music; and, as it
Jias a green sign, we have no doubt but I
that it will be a great favorito at court. I

snd havoc m higher circles*. Why the
Second Washington should persist in declaring
Alexandria to be in the District
of Columbia wo know not, unless the retrocession
of that plncc to Virginia wns
unconstitutional. Wo know the executive
nover could have appointed an individual
out of the Distnct to any local
office here, because he. so declared it;
and the Second Washington never has
nor never will violnto n. n1n/ifv? ??

his word, if he thinks of it, wo are certain.
The friendship which the old chief of
this new heroic age entertains for some
of his old friends is astonishing. When
asked who he really meant should have
a certain navy agency, wo are told that
he replied with more than Napoleon
promptness, "Why, the man who married
the neice of my old friend B. I
don't know whether his name is I.n.'hricum
or Linthrop, nor do I care." This 1
jibes in mj well with the Allison letter
ant. the '.nn.unIiverl
stated that he had no friends to reward
and no enemies io punish, and is so strictly
in accordance with the declaration that
capacity, honesty, and fidelity shall ho
the requisites and the governing principles
in all appointments, that we begin,
after having enoated it several times out
of door;;, to believe that it is a true bill.
At any rate, gentle renders, vou have it
is cheap ns we had it; and hasn't it
played what he told Bragg to give
tho Mexicans, in Georgetown? We
pause for a reply.
It is a glorious thing to be above all
law?to be free from all rules?to do as
one darn'd pleaf s to do, at all times and ;
under all cireum^nces; but yet, in a free i
country, where 20,000,000 of so\ creigns i
uuc ui tnuir immoer every iour
years to sit at the head of their political
table to keep order, it is rather unpleasant
to find in the person of such an one
an autocrat, with all of old Charles the
Xil's (of Sweden) obstinacy, and with
but little of his good sense. In view of
such an election, we feel as old Pallet felt
when he got his thumb into Peregrine
Pickle's mouth, in Hombcck's bed chamber:
"If it is not a bite, it is so near one
that there is no use in quarrelling about
the diflV>rfln?Hv"
The pr??ent order of tilings being accidental,
we understand that the most is
to be made of the luck. Appointments,
therefore, which never would have been
made under other circumstances, are
thiokfsning and crawling upon tis liko
frogs In the kneading-thro^fflls of Egyptians;
men are blest who hardly dared
to hope; interests are consulted that
hardly dared to exist; sins are forgiven
that arc out of tho palo of pardon and
mon write and speak in praise of the new
powers who caught logic as men catch
any other infectious disease, ant jjour ou
their words like water from a wateringpot,
wliore every drop is alike, and all
are lukewrm.
It is, however, understood that as soon
as the policy of the administration is de*
ciuwl vrpcr., therfl will be another order of
things m Washington. Wrkkn things, rl
which meet us at every turn, will bo rcSudiated.
The now organ is expected to
ifuso a little wisdom and ccusistcncy int.,
the heroic-dough, f-r.d perchance the
party may exist until the August elections;
but of this wo have our Herious
doubts. At any rate, as the wife said

GOLD REGION?STATE OF AFFAIRS, j
The number of foreigners, chiefly from j
Peru, Chili, Mexico, and the Sandwich j
Islands, who are pouring into California
is almost incredible. Seventy or eighty
vessels were lying in the harbor, completely
e v'serU'd by officers as well as by
men, left with no ono to take care of
them and rapidly falling to picces at the
wharves.
The great peril to tho whole countrv i
is 10 grow out of the greatSinfluxion of foreigners.
Not only do they seize upon
the mines, from which they have been
excluded by formal proclamation of the
United States Government, but their deportment
towards the Amevicans is suid
to be in the highest degree insulting and
provoking. At the latest accounts the
foreigners out numburcd th?
- ...w ?aM?vt4VUllO '
ten to one in the mining districts, and
their demeanor was correspondingly
overbearing and insufferable. This had
created the deepest indignation among
the Americans, especially ns the Mexicans
were foremost in insult and braggadocio.
Tho Yankees had already taken
steps towards organizing themselves Into
a Native American Association, and it is
said that, upon tho arrival of largo bodies
of tho Americans, who were understood
to have sailed from various parts of the
United States during the months of Janu
ary ana February, tliey were determined |
to drive every foreigner out of the country
at every hazard. Although they arc
greatly outnumbered, still they arc far
better armed than the foreigners, nearly
all of them having revolvers and other
arms, and are besides far superior to them
in physical, mental and moral qualities.
Mr. Loring tells us that they are determined
to massacre the whole population,
rather than submit to their insolence and
competition.
A- it. .1 *
v^u iiic ouicr Hand, Messrs. It. C. Wilson,
of Illinois, and Samuel Packwood,
of Oregon, who left tho mines on the 23d
of March, report as follows, as published
in the New-York Herald:
With regard to the state of society in
the ^old regions, they say emphatically
that it is just as good as in IS ew-York,
and that women are far more respected

and no man would attempt to insult a female
there. They say they never saw a
better set of men anywhere, and crime is
less than in any one of the United States,
with all the advantages of civil government
.
Persifor Smith's proclamation about
foreigners is laughed at, becausc it is impossible
to carv it into execution. There
iu no "native feeling thero. There is
room enough, and to spare. The Indians
were working harmoniously with the
? ihw! rncn in me n :ncs. before their arrival,
they did not know the value of the
gold on which they trod. When these
gentlemen left, there were thousands upon
thousands arriving, and they mofc partics
armed as if thoy were going to war,
an absurdity which they soon find out by
xpcrience. Thorc is no necessity for
arms.
We learn from Mr, Loring, that Judge
Lynch is the only magistrate known
throughout. thr? minirin
o"?? ? c*mi lUUl
his decrees are pronounced with nil proper
judicial forms, and executed with relentless
severity, There*is no law, of course,
for the district cxcopt such as is created
by the emergency of the case. No military
force can be maintained there for a
moment. Oeu. Smith was applied to by
nn express from the mines, for soldiers to
chastise thd Indians after their attack upon
the American camp. The General
smiled, and said that "if lie should send a
comjxiny tncre would not bo a skeleton to
return." Soldiers would desert, of course,
instantly upon their arrival. There arc
none at the mines, and few in tbfl Territory?a
small detachment being near San
Francisco, and tho main body at Monterey,
,
Whenever any offence is committed
nmong the miners, the culprit is seized, a
jirjf of 12 persons is ompannelled, tostimooy
is heard, tho verdict rendered, nnd
sentence promptly executed. All this is 1
aone, w wo are informed, with perfect
fairness *\rtd the greatest care. There is
very little robbery or ftrlrr.o of any kind 1
nl iliu jnines. Since the ojftning of tho '
district to emigrants, tighter ten exccu- '
tions havo taken place ft# Jobbery And '
murdor, and this has had a most safutary *
and restraining f7ect. j
To illustrate the impossibility of pre- ^
venting desertions, Mr. Loring states, 1
that not lon^ since a boat load of one of lr
tiio u. a. siups unacr command of Uom- j
modojr? J ones, deserted i 11 broad day I i^ht. (
The Commodore called the crew to dims j

fornlri, that Congress should give them i

tic theft. There is, of course, a good I
deal of rowdyism, with gambling, Are., )
but there has been very little lighting or j
violence of any kind, it is supposed that |
as soon as they hear that Congress ad- !
journed without making any provision for
them,they will organise a gov'ment of their
own, suited to the necessities of their condition.
In spite of the immense number
of foreigners there, it is not doubted that
the Americans will retain ?

Women in California?Gen. Smith's
wife and family camc home because of
the utter impossibility of living in California
with any comfort. No aqpistance

according to our civilized notions.

by the pain and torment which she endures.
There is a /ivc reptile, or something elso
of a similar character, in her stomach,
and extending up into her throat, nearly
to the roots of her tongue. Externally,
its movements are seen perfectly plain ;
and by applying the hand to her throat
or stomach, one can feel its motions dii>
tinctly, and cannot use pressure enough
Mith the hand to stop these motions.
When she does not eat at her legulur
times its contortion.* arc much woise,
and almost past endurance. W hen bhe
attempts to eat, she cannot use a kiiue
