Hark, from afar, the sound of Sabbath bell, In solemn music pealing through the air, Again the day of rest these notes declare; And to their harmony uprising swells, A voice from universal nature tells, How sweetly in the anthems she doth share. Soft breeses whisper to the heavens fair, A peaceful murmur by the sea-side dwells, The melody of birds, the hum ol bees, The dew drop falling from the buds of spring, Each rustling leaf from the forest trees, Join in the strain. Now myriad angels sing; "Prepare, ye, mortals, all your jubilees, And swell hosahnas to the Et rnal King." From the Omaha Republican Jan. 12. The Discovery of Gold in Nebras ka, and its Effects. The fact that gold exists in the western portions of this Territory is now fully estab lished. The evidences that have been fur nished us ere ol such s character ss to force conviction upon the most skeptical mind: The conclusion has not been arrived at by geological inductions, and although some of the most scientific men in tbe land, years ign, advanced the very reasonable theory, that tbe same causes which had produced the deposits of Gold in the Sierra Nevada country had been known to the whole Rocky Mountain region, and that tho previous motel wi likely to be (ound in all that rut country. Still the people were not stall moved, by this: they considered it an idle speculation of geologists, too visionary and chimerical to be entertained by practical men. But at length a few Indian traders and fur trappers, pass ing along through the valley of a mountain stream, discovered in tbe sands small parti cles of yellow metal; they examined it closely, and became satisfied that it was gold. Aftorwards. they spent weeks in exploring the country. In all the mountain streams tributary to the Tlatto they found more or less of the same ptecious stuff. The rumor of thoir discoveries found Its way to us. Many of our neighbors and friends in whom for years we have been accustomed to repose entire confidence, bent upon ascertaining tin truth of the matter, resolved to undertake a pilgrimage to the reported Land of Gold. They go; not a dozen or two, but hundreds of them. After prospecting sufficiently to satisfy themselves, they write to their fathers, brothers and friends to "leave everything and come out," that they have indeed found a "new 1 Dorado." But this is not all: they send us the dust itself, that we may extmine it Tho chemist molts it in bis crucible; the Government sssayer applies it to his ana lytical tests; and all agree that it Is the purest of pure Gold. Thero is no longer room for s doubt We are satisfied that there is a great gold field upon the eastern slope of the Rocky Monntains, and that the larger part of it must be within the borders of unrown Territory. It inspires us with hope for the future; we see that there will beJ great exodus from the Northwest to the auriferous country. What effect will itbavo open us in eastorn Nebraska? What course can we pursue that will best conserve our interests? Shall we all abandon our homes and join the moving mulliludo, or shall w remain and let tbe wave sweep over end beyond as? Probably every citizen of Nebras-ka has asked himself these questions during the past two months; at all events, such has been the esse with n. We cannot dodge the eonolaaion, that there is danger of an almost entire depopulation of the present organised counties of the Territory, that agricultural pursuits will be abandoned, and that we sbalj become exclusively mining people. Our population at present cannot number lees than 40,000; sn influx of 75,000 people may be safely estimated for tbe present year; sloe tenths of this emigration will come with the sole intention of mining; none of them will turn their attention to fanning; the result of all this will be, that every description of pro. due will command tbe most extntvsgnnt price daring the next Fall sod Winter; sod if there is not great wnVaffericgand stsrrv tibn, ws shall wonder 1 , With this view of the cSSd, We believe it is Hot only for our own interest, but that it is tb duty Of every citizen upon the Missouri slope of Nebraska to stay at home and p'sttt as many acres and raise as many bushels as possible the coming year. There is no win' of land. Evorjr man, however poor he may be, can get his qtiSftel- ledtlfln( and plant from twenty to thirty acres, too, if he has the will to do so. We shall certainly find for btlrselves a better account la lilts; for the present year) than in rushing till bf us headlong into the mines. Let the 75,000 people Who will dome from other States and Territories dd the mining this year; they will Come for that purposCj and they will be successful, too; but those whd are here do wean make as much if they remain at home and labor diligently to raise wheat, corn and potatoes to feed tho miners. We confidently believe if every man of our present population should cultivate every acre and raise every bushel he could, that the supply would be wholly inadequate to tbe wants of the people before another ciop can be raised. We hope our citizens will look this matter over calmly and considerately. Every one Is more or less anxious to go out and try the "rocker" and "long-torn;" but there is no man who can do better than to remain quietly at home and use industriously the plough and the hoe during the Summer of this year. We hope, at all events, that the farmers who have good improved farms will not forsake them. They will be fit subjects for an insane asylum if they do. If we only use discretion and judgment, we shall glean a rich harvest of present prosperity; if we suffer this madden ing fever to carry as off, there will be clouds and darkness before there is sunshine for us. There can be no question about the ultimato effect of this discovery. It must make the great Platte valley the richest and most pop utous district upon the continent. It will set tie the Pacific railroad question, Congress,at the dictation of Slavery Propagandists, may lend aid and comfort to forty roads through Southern Territories; It cannot prevent the conduction of a road to the Pacific over this route. Before the Presidential term com mencing with 1860 shall have expired, at loast s million of people will be scattered over the valley of the Platte between this point and South Pass. There will be an unbroken line of railway from this city to the Atlantic If not sooner undor taken, can this work b postponed after that period? But the settlement ofthe Platte valley and the construction ofa Pacifio railroad are not all that will re suit from tho discovery of this modern Ophir; It will dissipate Mormon ism, Americanise New Mexico and Sonora, and revolutionize the politics and the commerce of the Ronublic it will cause the establishment ofa continuous line ofsettlement8 from the valley of tbe Missouri to the valley ofthe Secramente, and make this paint, or some other upon this ri er, the great commercial capital of the North West. . - The Kansas Gold Mines Some Game AdoOT. Mr. L. J. Winchester, indorsed by the Kansas City Journal as a gentleman of character, thus wrote on the 25th November from Golden City: Deab Majob: We arrived here safely af ter a pteisint trip of 43 days from Kansas City, being tbe 1st party out this fall. On our arrival we found some sixteen or twenty per' sons here enly. We at once proceeded to find out whether or not there was any gold here, and to our great joy and satisfaction found that we could dig nowhere without finding more or less of it Tho mines which are no w being worked are yielding from $3 to $5 per day to the man, worked with cradles or rockers. These are not the richest mines by any means, but are tbe only ones that can be worked this winter. Wo are treated on the South Fork of the Platte River, in a lovely country, abounding in gamo of every 'description, consisting of deer, elk, antelope, grizzly bear, mountain goat, and many other animals, the names of which I do not know. And, instead of star ving to death here, as some of the knowing ones prognosticated in Kansas City, there is much more likelihood of death by being eaten up or run over by tbe game here. Last week there was s party of twelve of us went down to Cherry Creek after pine logs.with six wag. ons, and came very near being ran over by a drove of two thousand antelopes, that became frightened at something above us, and had it not been for our wagons, we would an doubtedlr have been trampled to death. We killed 17 before the drove passed by. Toe Gold Mikes. The Missouri Democrat publishes a letter written recently by an In. telligent man, io the Pike's Peak gold region. The pith of that which he says, Is contained in the following: "Since we cams Into the country wo have met many returning home, who curse tbe place, and declare the whole thing a cheat They said that strong man, working hard, could not maks more tban one dollar pei day. Others sgain are perfectly satisfied, and say that those who will work diligently can make from eight to tea dollars per day, and that the diggingssrsurichsJ those of California. Thus you see there is conflicting testimony, the truth of which ws shall find tt in the spring. OOT A retirned Calilornian of the name of Rio, ten years absent, ptsed through here lost Thnrsdsy, to bis boms in West Andover, where fas exhibited to tbe astonished and wondering gaze of his aged parents, $10,000 in geld, which he emptied open the' table. Bis parents art said to be quite poorCetv The Newsier. Rer. lTenry Ward Beccher thus speaks of the newspaper, tbe common people's Encyclopedia:"la HO other way csti, So touch, so Varied, sit Useful information b) imparted, ahd under circuinstattces so favorable for educating the child's mind, as through a judicious, well conducted newspaper. To live in a village was once to bo shut up and contracted. But now a man may be a hbrtUit and yet a cosmopolite. ilB may live in the forest, walking miles to a post office) having it mail but once a week, and yet he shall be found as farrtilHttt with the living world as the busiest actor ih it for the newspaper is a spy -glass by which he brings near the most distant things microscope by which he leisurely examines the most minute objects an ear trumpet by which he collects and brings within his hearing all that is said and done all over the earth a museum full ol living pictures of rial life , drawn out on canvas, but with printer's ink on paper. The effect of liberalizing and enlarging the mind of the young, of this weekly commerce of the world, will be apparent to ny one who will ponder it Once a liberal education could only be completed by fbreign travel. Tho sonsonly ofthe wealthy could indulge in this costly benefit But now tho poor man's son can learn as much at home, as a hundred years ago a gentleman could learn by journeying the world over. For while there are some advantages in going into the world it is the poor man's privilege to have the world come to see him. Tho newspaper is a great collect or, a great traveler, a great lecturer. It is the common people's Encyclopedia tho lyceum, the college," Anecdote of Prof. Morse. Lieut. Maurj, during the delivery of his lectures on the Atlantic Telegraph, at Cleveland, Thursday night, Mated the following anecdote of Prof. Morse, while ongaged in perfecting his first telegraph line between Baltimore and Washington. The report is from the Herald: Mr. Morse's first idea was to lay this wiro under groundand accordingly he built a beavr plow to make the furrow. Mr. M. as he proceeded, encountered insuperable difficulties rela'livo to the insulation of the wires. He found he must abandon tbe underground plan and put the wires on poles. But what excuse should be given for the stoppage of his present work until he could set the poles and string the wires? Without some excuse ho feared an entire withdrawal of confidence and of the Congressional appropriation. He told bis dilemma to his plowman, who was shrew-ed and quick wilted. Says the plowman: "Dr. you see that stump right in our path?" -Yes!" "Well, Doctor if this plow, drawn by this strong team, comes in contact with that stump, it is a vised up plow, and the work must stop untl the plow Ss repaired." "Q0 ahead," said .Dr. Morse. The team did go ahead.and the plow was used up on the stump and tho work of laying the wire underground had tostop until the plow could be mended and tbe plow Is not mended yet. Governor Banks at the Massachu setts State Prison. ilis Excellency "surprised" the inmates and most ofthe officers of this institution last Sabbath, by making his appearance at the chapol service. His presence evidently pro duced tbe happiest effect. Alter the sermon by the Chaplain, the Warden, Hon. Gideon Haynes, introduced the Governor to the as tonished sudience. As visitors are frequent ly in attendance upon tho chapel service, tho convicts had not suspected who he was until his name was snnounccd. He thon proceeded to address them in a speech of great appropri atencss and power. It was an exceedingly affecting spectacle to seo the highest representative of the State, standing thus In the presence of her fire hundred criminals, mostly ly young men. He was so ovorcome by his emotions at several points in his address that he was obliged to stop and give vent to his fast falling tears. A large portion of tho con victs and also of the spectators wept most free ly. In the afternoon bis excellency visited the cells of about a hundred of tbe convicts. and passed, as he had promised he would do, a "word of com fort with them." Ho propo scs to repeat his visits occasionally, until be shall have had an interviow with each of them, pLBAStKO Ikcidkst. At a funeral ofa lit tie babe in New 8haron, a few days since, says the Uospel Banner, a circumstance occurred, remarkably cheering and suggest ive: The child , all beautifully robed for the grave, wss laid In its eoffin on the morning of its burial. The weeping friends placed in its hand a small boquetof flowerstmong which was unopened rose-buds of the "Rose of Sharon." The ltd was then lid on the coffin, and the funeral services performed. When after the lapse of not more than two or three boars.the Cofflo was opened again snd the friends gathered sroand to look upon it for the last time, that bud had become a full blown rose, while grasped in the cold band of death. It seemed ss a voice came op from those beautifully seal ed Hps, saying, "Weep not for me; tho' bro ken from the parent swrfl. I am blooming tn the Paradise of God. Million's of infant souls compose tbe family above.'' (ET On Saturday last, Dr. W. H. Ceffln, or Portsmouth, Vs., in the presence of Dr. Arthur B.

Fourteen gallons of water were taken from U Jadr and the is doing welL Great Robbery in Providence Harnden & Go's Safe Carried off, Broken and Billed A. Curious Mistake of the Robbers. A Bold snd successful Robbery occurred in Providence at an early hour on Wednesday morning, ol which we have obtained the following particulars: Harnden & Co., expressmon between New York and Bostbb, have also an office in Providence. Upon the arrival of the New York train at Providence, this morning, the safe and trunk for that city were delivered as usual to the two men Who are appointed to take charge of them, and were at once taken to the office, corner of Durance aud Middle streets. It is usual for one ofthe men to remain at the office until it is opened for business in tbe morning, while the oher proceeds to deliver various bundles at periodical offices. On this occasion, however, both men proceeded on the wagon, leaving tbe offico securely locked. This was about 4 o'clock A. M. In about half an hour they returned to find that, during their absence, the offioe bad been entered by tho back way with false keys.the trunk forced open snd robbed of a bag of silver of the value of over a thousand dollars and two bagsof cents. The robbers however overlooked I wo bags ol gold of tho value of about $7,000. They thon took the safe, which required tho strength of three men to lift, and carried it off. The safe was afterwards found in Willet's avenue, on the hill about a mile and a half from the place of robbery. It had been broken in, probably, by heavy blows of a sledge hammer upon the top, and thoroughly rifled. Ofthe value of its contents nothing is yet cer tainly known, as the way bills were all car ried off. It contained, however, all tho usua collections of the company for their customers in Providence and other places, together with watches, jewelry, &c, &., and the amount n f loss wilt probably be large, but not of tho extent rumored In this city, which was $50,000. Boston Traveler, t)ih. Rsvolutionary Pensioners. During tbe year just closed, eighteen revolutionary soldiers have died. David Chapin, Gideon Bently, John Titus, William Matte- son, Robert Gallup, David Davis, Zachariah Groone, of New York ; Zacheus Robison and Abraham Rising, of Massachusetts; William Tarkey and Rev. John Sawyer, of Maine; Thomas Kerowltonand Elisba Mason, of Connecticut; George Wells and Charles Gatnan, of Tennessee, James Hush well, of Vermont; Jonas Frator and Henry Straight, of Ohio. The Secretary of the Interior, iu bis annual report, says that there are yet two hundred of the patriots of the ttevolution living and re ceiving pensions. Tho Secretary further says that fifty-throe years after the war five thou sand widows of revolutionary soldiers, whose marriages took place prior to the Declaration of peace in 1783, were living, and that neatly one hundred of them still survive. The Coolies in Cuba. A gentleman of intelligence who recently visited Cuba, gives a sad picture of the toils and sufferings to which tho coolies slaves are subjected. They have nothing like tho ca pacity of the negro for labor and endurance and yet the same tasks are imposed upon them. When not engaged in the field they herd in discriminately men, women and children in huts, with no semblanco of family ties or obligations. Suicide is common among them, sometimes ten or a dozen hanging themselves at a time. No provision is made for their return to their native land, from which they have been beguiled, and their masters, having no Interest in them except to get the greatest amount of work possible out of them during their period of apprenticeship, heap upon them an amount of labor that soon breaks them down, and often carries them to the grave. Oswego Times. Delaware Slave trade. A Mr. Jacobs, in the Delaware Legislature, proposes to repeal the lew prohibitiug the traffic in slaves betweon Delaware and other Statos. The Washington RepMican denoun ces the proposed measure, and says the repeal of the law would double or quadruple tho valuo of the slaves, and hence, many of tho more selfish and unscrupulous would engage in breeding them, to supply the sudthern planters and others with laborers. The Fobt Skelmko Sai.b Aoaw. The St. Paul Minnesotiaii learns that the Fort Sneltingor speculators have fatlod to pay up the second installment of $30,000 due to Gov ernment, on the purchase of Fort Snctlingand its Reserve; and than instructions have been receivjd there to foreclose on their obligations and resume Governmental possession of the premises. It's a long lane that has no turn' ing; and the speculators arc likely to bo trip. ped op at lost ftjr "My dearest Maria," wrote a quite afleetlonatejhusband to his wife, a strong minded woman.

I brilliant pamphlet, urging the permailent removal of the Fops to Jerusalem, the srsil of th Christian rsligion; jUligioiw Sfntflligriiff.- REVIVALS. A correspondent writes from M'u'ncie, Indians 1 "There is a great revival of religion going on in tho ifelhodist church at this placo. The meeting has' been progressing about 4 weeks, and tbe prospect is that it will continue as much longer. Over one hundred persons have already united with ih Church, a large proportion of whom are advanced in life, j Rev. Maxwell P. GJdis has been hore for several days, assisting in conducting tho services. The reports of the last number of the Cincinnati Advocate include nearly 400' recent conversions and additions to churches; chiefly in Ohio and Indiana. The Now York Advocate states that there is an interesting revival at present in progress in the Greeno Street M. E. Church in that city. About fifty convet sions have already occurred. Much religious' interest has for some timo prevailed in the M. P. Church at Ewing, Ohio, and alroaiy twelve persons bavo united with the Church. Tho last Christian Review contains accoun ts of about one hundred conversions' in Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, and Wisconsin. A protracted meeting recently held in the Baptist Church, at Bethel, Ohio, has resulted in tbe conversion and baptism of about thirty persons.Much religious Interest still exists in the neighborhood. Prayer meetings ror tbe revival of religion are now being held in most of tho towns throughout Scotland; and we are glud to learh that they are of a thoroughly catholic character, parties belonging to various religions denominatiors taking part in them. A statement was recently made in the Fulton street, New York, prayer meeting, that the revival in Philadelphia had reached with great power that portion ofthe Quaker population known as Iiicksite or Unitarian Quakers. Many of them have been converted. A book called "Pentecost" has been printed. It contains an authentic account of the great work of grace in the city of Pcnri. It contains many letters from distinguished converts, and cases of conversions that have never been exceeded in this land for their marvelous character. Tho remarkable religious interest on the U. 8. Receiving ship North Carolina, stationed at Brooklyn, N. Y., still continues. A correspondent of tho Boston Journal writes: "A daily prayer mooting is held below the water line at 5 P. M. each day. Tho footri is small, but tho tars are so anxious to gel in that tho rush for the room is great. One would suppose tbe sailors were piping down to grog rathef' than to prayers. The service are somewhat novel and impressive, and the sailors crowd all the places where any one can atandto hear. About 50 conversions' have already taken place. " ' The Now York Examiner state's that a deeply interesting state of things exists at the Seamen's Retreat, or Hospital, on platen island undor zealous labors ofa young sailor from the 9nug Harbor, who has often attracted notice by the unobtrusive but earnest participation in the noon-prayer meetings of this city. This is the same revival already referred to, erroneously, as connected with Ihc Snug Harbor, where it was said ten convicted souls were anxiously seeking salvation atones, on a re cent evening. It was at tho Seamen's Re treat, whero there are from 100 to 200 patients, 50 or GO of whom are able and glad to attend this young Missionary's prayer meetings two evenings in each week. These have now been cnriiiniied for about six weeks and as many as twenty have given evidence of saving faith, within that period the work still going on, and inquirers multiplying. The converted hold prayer-nieotings thro' the wards, among the sick beds ef those who are enable to attend the reg'ular meetings;-- sick bods, conversions are taking place. It is a precious opportunity and vantage cround for tho gospel, to bring tho prsyer-irieelirig to tbe bed side olthe sick and sobered, perhaps trembling, sinner, Tho Boston Recorder contains w6ckly re ports of tho prayer mcotings at tho Old South bliurch tliapvl, which indicate tho existence of a deep religious sensibility in that city. 1 he interest among the sailors, especially, is said to be very general, Regarding Now York, tho Christian Intelligencer says: The hiiinber of prayer-meetings is increase ing. borne new union prayer meetings have been instituted since the commencement of tho year, in this city, Brooklyn, Jersey City. Newark, and other places in this region lire well attended, and are very spirited. Tbe manifest presence of the Spirit of God Is felt in tbeu meetings. Protracted meetings are now being held Ih both the M. 11 Churches of this place, are attracting considerable attention, and producing good results. DelauMrt Qutetle, Janua ry, 21st. jftSCELLABEnrS.
