Orders for Job Work solicited. [From the Journal of Commerce.] A Tathcr’e Advice to hi# Son, oo lcuv litg lit# Ilomc ftfr California. BY 1. D. a. farewell, my son the hour has come, Jlie solemn hour when we must part; j'he hour that hears thee from thy home, With sorrow fills thy Fathers heart. • Farewell, my son, thou loav'st behind, Thy mother, sisters, brothers dear, And guest the far-off land to find, Without one friend thy way to cheer. Alone thou leav’st thy vine clad cot, Thy childhood’s home, tliy natal bowers, Sweet scenes, that ne’er can be forgot, Where life has pass’d its sunniest hours. When far away from distant lands, hVl'd California’s golden streams, Where brightly shine those yellow sands. Oft will ,k 8u:tii Hume ’’ come o’er thy droams. Thy father’s counsels, prayers, and love 1*ui'sue thee through thy dangerous way, And at the mercy seat above, Implore his son may never stray From that straight path where virtue guides, To purest, noblest joys on high, “Where Cod in his holiness resides, And springs perennial never dry. Remember, His omniscient eye iteholds each devious step you take— That you can ne’er his presence fly, At home, abroad, asleep, awake. On California’s sen-beat shore. Where the Pacific rolls his tide. Where waves on waves eternal roar, You eauuot from his notice hide. lie holds you I'm re upon his arm, Kncirclod with his boundless might, Preserves you safe from every harm, '.Mid brightest day and darkest night. Let this great truth be deep impress’d Upon the tablets of thy heart, — Be cherished there within thy breast, And from thy memory ne’er depart. If strong temptations round you rise, Where sin’s deceitful smiles betray, This thought w ill prompt you to despise 'J he course that leads the downward way. When fascination spreads her charms, But to allure, beguile, destroy, Think, then, a father’s faithful arms, Ate thrown around his wandering boy, To keep him from the fatal snare, Spread to entrap his youthful feet, Ami-lead his youthful footsteps where Palo ruin holds its gloomy scat. W hat pangs must rend thy father's soul, To find his counsels all are crossed Are set at naught, w ithout control, And Ins beloved son is lost. Tfid think what mourning, anguish, grief, Would bathe thy kindred all in tears; That one dear youth, in life so brief, Should oiouif in night then luture years. •dinnU those hi ;>;ht hopes that gild thy sky — Ami east their splendor* on the West, t ado on thy s glit, grow dim and die, And hearts sink down with gloom oppress'd; Shot,Id slckue.'s chair, thee to thy bed, In California's distant laud. No brothers there to hold thy head, N ,r sisters take thy trembling hand, — < rat thurt, my son, that guardian power, Y*’bose eye beholds the sparrow’s fall, He’ll watch thee in that lonely hour, Whose gracious ear* is o'er us all. Then if beneath the evening star. Reside the great Pacific's wave, Thou fmd'st an early tomb afar, Ills gioce will there thy spirit save. Or if upon thy safe return, Thou liud’st no more thy father here, Pay or.2 sail visit to his urn, Drop on his dust one filial tear. May God’s rich blessings on thy head, Descend in showers of heavenly grace, And keep you safe where’er you tread, As we litre end this fond embrace. So live my stfn. while here I stand, On Time's bleak, ever-changing shore, That we may reach that better land V, h‘ re n ns and fathers part no more. Maucu, 184t>. [From the Alta Calif* min.] Front X.ON Angeles to Snit Late We have been permitted by Messrs. Ad ams & Co. to pnbliah the following portion of the journal of .Mr. Felix Tracy, Jr., during b:» late journey through from Los Angeles to Salt Fake. ! bis diary, though brief, will be of value '[> 'b'-o who may wish to travel through to bait Lake by the samo route, and it will also give a v#ry correct idea of the country to the general reader. Tho indefatigable and ubiq uitous Adams & Co., will soon dispatch mes sengers through ail tho principal routes to bait L'<ke, for the purpose of ascertaining by direct observation the best route for an Lx press.

Orpicp. or Adams it Co.,) Lily of the tlriut jSalt Lake, j To 7 C. WWs, To. 7 . lttndcat Partner of A damn if Co., p/ ('al.foriaa, lJKAn Sir:—In compiianoe with your re quest I baud you enclosed so much of th e journal of my late trip from Los Angeles to tiiis place as is of public interest, and ealeu 1 latod I think to b*> ot value to the Pacific Ktn j igrant Society, in which, if I remember rightly, you hold a prominent position. 1 have omitted all of my own speculations on the route, which l will give in a subsequent letter, and coniine myself to noting the es sential* for emigrants, namely: grass, weed and water. Nov. siih.—Leaving Sari Francisco, ns you renumber, this day per steamer (Jolitih . at hn'f p;i«t fire o’clock i’. M , w e reached Kun I’edro \ov. J'-th.at 8 A. M. which small place of a few houses, and proportionally snt>ker numb r of [*e<>p!e. is the port for l.os THE TRINITY TIMES. VOL. 1. Angeles, twenty-five miles inland, to which place I proceeded in Alexander it Canning's line of coaches, on which our Express matter is carried, uud reached Los Angeles the same night, 2Slh. This place is too well known to you to de mand description from me, and I content my sell with stating a few facts to which 1 would specially call your attention in the future.— One is, that corn is said to glow here splen didly and the ears to fill and ripen equal to .anything in the older States, a fact, if a fact, which is not known on the Hay of San h ran cisco, or in the mining regions where.corn is grown with difficulty. The raising here of a sufficient supply of maize for the California dcmatid, would help enrich the country by keeping thus much of our gold at home. The culture of grapes and manufacture of wine is destined to become a feature of this part of California, and l confidently predict that, if fostered properly by those having as deep an interest as yourself in the welfare of California, the wine of this section will cause importations to nearly cease, and we shall be come large exporters, besides doing ft won derful work in the way* of temperance.— Drinkers of Sherry and Madeira in San Francisco #re probably aware th t their best English imported wines aro nearly all manu factured in London, from the cheap wines of the Cape of Good Hope. Los Angeles can supply the besis in place of Cape Town, aud vour ingenious merchants can do the manu facturing, including stamping the boxes and copying the labels. Dec. 1st.—Left Ix>s Angeles at 10 o’clock this A. M. Might miles this side passed San Gabriel, an old mission, in the vicinity of which is said to be some of the best laud in California. Tim Padres fenced many of the fields with the cactus. At noon we stopped at a place called Moots, which has about five hundred inhabi tants. W ater abundant: land very fertile, one squash vino producing three squashes which weighed four hundred aud thirty-nine pounds, and ) hIso saw a corn stalk seventeen aud a hall' feet high. Saturday, i\tr 2d.—Staid last night at an old Spaniard’s by the name of l'alemeros, who has a fine, large ranch, well stocked. A few years since, the Utah tribe of Indians, led t v their Chief, Welker, were in the hab it of driving oft several hundred head of cattle—the Spaniards in this vicinity sot bo ing able to resist them. Distune© to-dav. thirty-two miles. Sunday, Dec. 8d.—For twenty miles it is nearly a desert, without water. Arrived Ht San Bernardino this evening. Distance to day thirty two miles. Monday, Dec. 4th.—San Bernardino, the Mormon settlement, containing about one thousand Inhabitants. The Mormons have possession of some eight square leagues of land, well watered, which produces well. Timber is scarce, consequently the houses are built of adobes. Within five miles of this place urc hot springs, from lukewarm to hot enough to cook an egg. Tuesday, Dec. Eth.—Left San Bernardino to-day at 2 P. M., in company with .lames li. Leach, .James Williams, Jacob Mosier and Mr Pinney. We have four mules packed. Good road and plenty of water. Distance to-day 12 miles. Wednesday, Dec. tith.— Ixsft camp at half past seven A. M. Crossed the Sierra Nevada by Hunt's Pass —which is .ten milen nearer than by Cajon, and to the south of it, although the latter is much the best lor wagons, and, iu fact, one thousand dollars would make it n first rate road, Camped at 6 P. M. Distance to-day 26 miles; the last 20 poor land mid without water. Thursday, Dec. 7th —Left camp at half past 7. Distance to-day 3f> miles; water half hh), good wagon road,land poor. Camped at Sugar IxMtj on the Mohave river. Friday, Dec. P—Started at 8 A. M : trav eled 25 miles northerly along the Mohave. The soil could be made to produce weH by irrigation. Hoad level aud sandy. Camped at 8 P. M near a small lake; good grass. Distance to-day 25 miles. We have seen some alkali. Saturday, Dec. 9th —Left camp at half past 8 A. M. To-day we have traveled twenty-five miles without water: road good, through a desert. CanijteJ at 4 P. M*, water bad, grass scarce. \S e have passed through a canon three miles long, through a low range of inouutains; the ascent was gradual. Sunday, Dec. 10th—Left camp last night at eight i\ M., it being thought best to travel on the desert iu the night. Fioin Bitter Springs,where wo camped last night,to Kings ton Springs, where we camped this morning, at 11 A. M., is forty miles over desert; water to he had at a small lake shout half way; road fair. Fed our mules with barley last night and this morning. Started this afternoon at half past 3. Monday, I tec. 11 th—Camped this morn ing at half past 8, all tired and very sleepy. Distance last night forty miles; road good a desert. This place isealled Mountain Spring*, grass is poor, and we here feed the last of our barley. About twenty miles from Bitter Springs we left the regular emigrant road, and came on to it within four miles ol Mountain Springs, saving about forty" miles, avoiding Salt Springs, the Highlander, Best ing and Stump Springs. Left Mountain Springs at half past 1 1 A. M., and traveled 12 miles to Cottonwood. Hoad good. Tuesday, Dec. 12th—Lift Cottonwood at half past seven A. M. Camped at 3 P. M , on the I-as Vegas. This is a small stream, hut runs very rapidly, and waters several hundred acres of good land. Here there is a spring in which a person cannot sink. It is twenty-fire miles over to the Colorado river. Road somewhat uneven, but not bad. Distance to-day twenty miles, without water. Wednesday, Dec. loth—-Left Vegas river at halt past 1 A. M., earnped at 7 A. M : good bur eh glass, no water so tar to-day, and we have traveled twenty-three miles. Started again at hulf past It) A. M., and camped on the Muddy river at half past 8 P. M. 1 tistance to-day 27 miles, without water: road uneven, grass good. Thursday. Dec. 1 1—This morning five In dian# came into camp, and wished to trade WEAVERVILLE, CAL., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1855. for blankets, &c.; we gave them some to bacco. There is some good lahd here. The Indi ans raise coin, wheat, pumpkins, Ac. I j0 ft camp at S A. Al., camped on the Rio Virgin at 5 P. M. The road to-day has been bad, there behg some very steep hills. An empty wagon would be load enough for four mules. Distance to-day twenty-five miles without water. Friday, Dec. loth—Started this morning at 4 o’clock. We have followed the Rio Virgin up to its source. Camped at six P. [SI., road fair. Distance to day 33 miles.— The Muddy river empties into the Rio Virgin and the latter into the Colorado. Saturday, Dec. 18th—The road for the first fifteen miles has been a gradual ascent, and the last ten uneven and bad. No water to-day. Camped on tho Sartta Clara river Twelve miles below us, the Mormons are building a house. The Indians have three corn fields on this river, about twelve acres iu all, one of which we are encamped in. There are a few cottonwood trees on this river, which is the first timber we have«*en. Hunday, Dec. 17th—Camped at the Moun tain Springs, which is also called the Rim of the Basin. The road to-day has been bad— bein'* quite rough. I finance thirty-five miles, without water. The land in this vicinity would produce well if there was water to ir rigate it with. Monday, Dec. 18th — Camped at. Iron Spring. Distance to day 43 miles. No water but plenty of ice. Tuesday, Dee. 19tli —Arrived at Cedar City, on Coal Creek, this morning, the first of the Mormon settlements. Hero iron ore is found, and the Mormons expeet to manufacture iron in about a month. Coal is also found here. This place is surrounded by an adobe wall, ten feet high and from two to three feet thick. There are about one hundred families here whose farms are three or four miles ofl, which are said to produce corn, wheat, oats, barley, &o., the land being irrigated. All the timber here is a few small cedar trees. From San Bernardino to Cedar City,there is probably not 1,000 acres of good land, all in one body; all there is is situated on the Ve gas, Muddy and Santa Clara rivers; and there is no timber except a few cottonwood trees on the Santa Clara. r l here are no streams that require bridging. The road from the Rim of the Basin is splendid—from thu Vegas to the Rim of tho Basin is quite rough, that is it is up and down. We came through with nine mules. Mr. Leach is of the opinion that a wagon and six mules would have come through easier. You will see by what I have n’ready writ ten, that there are stretches of thirty to fifty miles without water. Four or five artesian wells would probably be all that would be re quired. We crossed small mountains almost every day, through canons. If this route should ever become lunch traveled, it would be diliiuult to tiud grass for animals, lor this whole country is nearly all a desert, producing nothing but a lillle sage bush or grease wood. By next Jtxpress 1 will fITtish copying my diary, but in the mean tune would remark that the roud from Cedar City to this place is a very good one, about three streams requir ing bridges. Y ours, truly, Felix Tracv, Jr. Uren* Kvcnh from (unutn ])r. Paris observes. that “the history of great efl'eets from small causes would lorni an interesting work.” “]low momentous,” says Campbell, “are the results of apparently trivial circumstan ces! When Mohammed was Hying from his enemies, he took refuge in a cave; which his pursuers would have entered if they had not seen a spider's web at the entrance. Not knowing that it was freshly woven, they passed by the cave; and thus a spider’s web changed the history of the world.” W hen Louis VII., to obey the injunctions of his bishops, cropped his hair and shaved his beard, Eleanor, bis consort, found him, with this unusual appearance, very ridiculous and soon very contemptible. She revenged herself as she thought proper, and the poor shaved king obtained a divorce. Slio then married the Count of Anjou, afterward Hen ry II. of England. She had for her marriage dower the rich provinces of Poitou and Gui etme; and this was the origin of those wars which for three hundred years ravaged France, and cost the t rench three millions of men. All this probably had never oceuired, had I/mis not been so rash as t > crop his head and shave his beard, by which he be came so disgustful in the eye* of (<ucen Eleanor. AVarton mentions, in bis Notes on Pope, that the treaty of 1'trecht was occasioned by a quarrel between the Huihess of Marlbor ough and Anne about a pair of gloves The coquetry of the daughter of Count Julian introduced the Saracens into Spain. “What can be imagined more trivial,” re marks Hume in one of bis essays, “than the difference between ono color of livery and another in horse races? Vet this difference begat two most inveterate factions in the Creek Empire, the Prasini and Vencti; who never suspended their animosities till they ruined that unhappy country. The murder of Caesar in the capital wn« chiefly owing to bis not rising from bis seat when the Senate tendered him some particu lar honors. The negotiations with the Pope for dis pelling Henry \ Ill.'s marriage, (which brought oil the Reformation,) are said to have been interrupted by the Earl i I Wiltshire’sdog liitilig Ills Holiness' too when he put it out to be kissed by t! at ambassador; and the Huoliess of Marlborough’s spilling a basin of water on Mrs. Masliam's gown, in Anne’s reign, brought in the Tory ministry, and gave a new turn to the afiairs of Europe. "If the none of Cleopatra had been short* •r.” said Pascal, in bis op gramtnatie man ner, “tin- condition of the world would have been different.” I,ut* er might hove been n lawyer, bad h e friend and companion escaped the thunder storm; Scotland hail wanted her stern re former. if the appeal of the people h id not startled him in the ehapcl of St. Andrew’s Castle; and if Mr. Grenville had not can'"-d in 1 TO I. his memorable resolution i s to the exptdici <y of cl stging certain stamp duties | on the plantations in America, the western world might still have bowed to the British sceptre. Giotto, one of the early Florentine pain ters, might have continued u rude shepherd boy, if a sheep drawn by him upon « stone, had not, by the merest accident, attracted the notice ol Cimbaue. [From “Bith and Not a,” a poem by Pro fessor Wilson, the “Christopher North of Blackwood's Magazine.”] She had risen up front her morning prayer, And chained the waves of her golden hair, Half kissed her sleeping sisters cheek, Aud breathed the blessings site might not speak, Lest the whisper should break the dream that smiled Round the snow-white brow of the sinless child, ller radiant lamb and her purple dove Have ta’eu their food from the hand they love: The low deep coo and the plaintive bleat, In the morning calm, liow clear and sweet; Lro the sun hath wanned the dawning hours She hath watered the glow of her garden flowers, * And welcomed the hum of the earliest bee In the moist bloom working drowsily; Then up the flow of the rocky rill iShe trips away to the pastoral hill; And, as she lilts her glittering eyes, in the joy of her heart to the dewy skies, She feels that her sainted parents bless The life of their orphan shepherdess. ’Tis a lonely glen! but the happy child Hath friends whom she meets in the morn ing wild! As on she trips, her native stream, Like her, hath awoke from a joyful dream, And glides away by her twinkling feet. A itit a lace as bright and a voice as sweet, In the osier bank tlie ousel sitting Hath heard her step, and away is flitting I' t orn stone to stone as she glides along, Then sinks in the stream with a broken song. The lapwing, fearless of his nest, •Stands looking round with delicate crest; For a love like joy is in his cry As lie wheels and darts and glances by. Is the heron asleep on the silvery strand Of his little lake? Lo! his wings expand As a dreamy thought, and witliouten dread Cloud like bo floats o’er the maiden’s head. She looks to the birch wood glade, and lo! There is browsing there the mountain roe, Who lifts up her gentle eyes, nor moves, As on glides the form whom all nature loves. Having spent in heaven an hour of mirth, The lark drops down to the dewy earth, And a silence soothes his yearning breast in tile gentle folds of bis lowly nest; The linnet takes up the hymn, unseen, In the yellow bloom or the bracken green; And now, ns the morning hours are growing, From the hill-side rots the cocks are crowing, And the shepherd’s dog is barking shrill From the mist fast rising from the hill, And the shepherd’s self, with locks of gray, Hath blessed the iraideti on her way! And now she sees her own dear flock On a verdant mound beneath the rock, All close together in beauty and love, Like the small fair clouds in heaven above, And her innocent soul, at the peaceful sight Is swimming o’er with a still delight. Sir Walt nit Scott. —There is i strange story now floating on the great sea of lite rary table talk. Nothing less, let me toll you. than an unpublished Action of .Sir Walter Scott lias turned up, and will be published ill Paris, where it was found. The story runs, tlipt r licit <>H German, who lived in Paris when fioott visited it in 'SVC, had a monoma nia for collecting autographs and wanted one | of (Scott’s; that Antic Scott gave him the l manuscript of a historical romance, by her fa 1 th< r, which he had determined not to publish; j that he prised this very much, kept it in n box by itself, aud promised to bequeath it to his private secretary; that he quitted Paris in l.SMO, and was lost sight of; that n few mouths ago the German's daughter forward j ed the writing ease from Bavaria; that the ! secretary opened it, and found it to contain, “Moredun, a tale sf the Twelve Hundred : ml Tell;” that it is of the usual three volume extent; that it is being translated I >r publica tion in the French, and that it lias the genu ine life, spirit and reality of the best Waver ley romances. —London C orrtxpandeiU, Snooks says the best n< wing machine in the world is one about seventeen years old, with a short sleeve dress, pretty little feet with gai ter boots on.

We have no doubt that in many instances, in this State, forged titles have been got up by cun ning lawyers, with native Californians as rep resentative proprietors, for large tracts of public lands, and that, by the aid of perjury, some of these forged grants have been con firmed: but ibis dot's not justify nun in squat ting upon welt known tract*, about the title of which there is no dispute. \\ e are in formed that in many cases they have, and. not content with se’/ing on Californian’s lands tin v have killed his cattle, prosecuted him for damages where his stock has broken into their enclosures, and recovered them -aetti alB made him pav for occupying* his own land*.

O. I'ic. The Diplomatic Conference held at the house of the English Ambassador, ill \ ienna, on the 2Kth, terminated by the sudduli and indignant withdrawal of Austria from her former treaty stipulation, made with the Western Powers. Prince GortselmkolV, lor Russia. presented a note in Confcronce, a* a final reply of the Csuir, rejecting all overtures of peace as laid down on its former basis. Prussia will remain neutral and is deter mined to tike no active part in tho crisis of affairs which are convulsing Europe. 1 he news of the conference was immediately tel egraphed to liondon and Paris, causing great excitement in both places. Much feeling was manifested throughout tho (Jontiuent, on hearing of Austria’s treachery. An especial Envoy had arrived at London from France to confer wi.li llie British min istor, on the necessity of taking immediate steps for declaring war against Austria forth with. Ou hearing the disastrous news from the Crimea, the lauds on the Paris Bourse sadly declined. Louis Napoleon was organising another re serve corps of 200,000 men. Several new regiments of Zouaves had been ordered to tho Crimen from Africa. The American Minister at Madrid, Mr. Soule, had been refused at Court, proof being subftantiated of hi* conniving with the Ue publican party for the overthrow of the pres ent dynasty. Teh graphic dispatches had boon received at Paris from Vienna to tho 10th inst., to the effect that Poland had revolted against the tyrany of the <'-’.ur. Prince Zorlowoski heads the rebellion.— The Emperor of Russia was sending large reinforcements to the frontier to qm-li the disturbance. Efforts were being made in France and England to send immediate aid to the Poles, both in money, men and the muni!ious of war. Another disastrous gale had occurred in the I Hack Sea; many vessels wele lost. The Paris Munilrnr, of .Ian, Ptli publishes the following additional nows from Ralaklava: The cholera was raging fearfully among the troops at Sebastopol, large numbers Were carried off by tho pestilence. Tho cold was intenvc, and the troops were suffering severe ly for the want of proper clothing and com fortable quarters. 1’reparations were bring made for the ar.snnlt at an early dnv.
