The IJnxlt'n Traveler has a letter from Geo. W. Morrill, dated San Francisco, Jan. 20, 181f. We note in it the follwing. which we place among the "marvellous:' As for gold I, have got plenty of it. I have about 71)3 pounds. It sells here tor from 12 to 1G dollars tho ounce. 1 was in the diircrins three months and a half. and if I had something to w:ish out the dirt clean, 1 should have got as much again; for we can get nothing like near all of it put. i hAXPa.iwAwor'irv'c p'ouhds. I want you to come out here; you can get just as much gold as you want. 1 know where there is a ledge, that is alnoit solid gold; but I shall not tell any body, nor work at it till my friends come out. I found it out by one of the fndian chiefs, whose life I saved, when ho was about to be murdered. A great many are killed, and nothing is said uboutit. The excitement is so great, that every body has been digging gold, and every one here has got a plenty of gold. Living here is now two dollars a day. It has been ten dollars. The gold country is immense. I have been five hundred . miles up the country, nnd tho further wo go the thicker the gold is. I think on tho river where I was. the fountain head is in the mountains, but it is awful traveling to get up to my ledge. I know where there is plenty of silver in the mountains. We found that when I was among the Indians. They took me prisoner, and 1 was with them nine months. At last I discovered that one of the chiefs was a freemason, and ho at once set me free. lfind that a great many of le Indian Chiefs are freemasons. I was made a mason by the recommendation of an aged friend, before I left Michigan. I left there when the war first began, and went and joined Col. Fremont's regiment. We crossed the mountains, and 1 got taken by the Indians. 1 was released in consequence of being a mason; and 1 would advise all that intend to come out to this wild country, to become masons, for they will find true friends among tho Indians. Tho Indians hold masonry to be sacred which it is. If you were here, you could make money stay our trade just as last as you please for mechanics hero will not work at their trades, because they get rich so much faster at tho cold diggings If you come out, come with a number. The more that come together, the better Ihey can do. I undtrstoou, yesterday, that news had come from Monterey, they had found an inexhaustible gold mine, about 30 niile9 from there, and also some silver mines; but tee tale no notice of the tiher mines, which can be got at half the trouble of the gold. Quicksilver is here in abundance, in all the hills. A French barber, in dressing the hair of a young female, being unable to get it to his mind, pettishly exclaimed, "by gar no man ran make a whistle out of von pigtail." But itseems ho was mistaken, for by the following it appears that it has been done: Jonathan Whistle, of Chestnut Grove. New York, (says an exchange.) has been married to Miss Jedutha Pigtail. This is making a whistle out of a pigtail. 0pJtaifn for Barnum. A child not yet four years of age. weighing over one hundred pounds, and fully as many feet high as it is years old, is now living with its parents on the corner of Kemble and Linn streets. It is an active and beautiful boy. We understand a curiosity seeking gentleman of this city has offered the parents a large sum for the privelege ot training the boy for feats on the stage and in the ring. Cin.Gaz.

When John McLean, of Ohio, was Post Master General under Presiden1 Jackson, he wrote the following letter to a man in Connecticut wiom he had removed from a Post-office.

Respectfully, JOHN McLLW'N. Fattening Cattle with Mixed Food. A Scotchman w ho fattens one hundred and fifty head of Calloway cattle, annually, finds it most economical to feed with bruised fla.t seed boiled with meal or barley, oats, or Indian corn, at tho rate of one part fl seed to three parts meal, by weight the cooked compound to be afterwards mixed with oats straw or hay. From four to twelve parts of the compound are to be given to each beast per day. Would it not be well for some of our farmers who stall-feed cattle to try this or a similar mode. We are by no means certain that ordinary food will pay the expense of cooking; but (lax seed is known to be highly nutritious, and cooking would not only facilitate its digestion but it would serve, by mixing to render the food palatable, and by promoting the appetite and health of the animal, would be likely to hasten its thrift.

The Ilagerstown News states that a t,3W nights ago, some raseal or rascals quarried out of the corner stone of a church, about eight miles north of that place, in the vicinity of Leitersburg, and known as Jacob's Church, and carried away the coin and other valuables that had been deposited therein.

The people of Vermont have determined that no licenses to sell liquor shall be issued in that State for the year to come. Last year they voted just the other way.
