From the Alta California, Dec. 1. LATEST FROM THE PLACER.—The early severity of tho winior has, without doubt, defeated the plans of many of the miners, and may prove disastrous if followed up by another visitation of inclement weather, before those who arc unprovided with winter supplies can avail themselves of favoring skies and got out of the mountains.

The heights of the Sierra Nevada are covered with snow and this has been ihe unwelcome form of the winter visitant in the mqre elevated "diggings," accompanied by cold weather. The mountain streams are but imperceptibly swollen as yet, although the Sacramento has risen many feet, at its junction.with the American river, since the commencement of the rains. From Feather river the golden news is highly encouraging. A bar of the South Fork, situated nine miles above Bidwell's Bar, (the original discovery of gold on this fork was here,) has been worked with immense success. The character of the £old is coarser than

THE GOLD MINES.—Late accounts of "lucky" gold diggers are given—one man, upon the Middle Fork, had turned out with his own hands, in six weeks, $6,500—he had one "lump" weighing 27 1/2 ounces.

The rainy season had commenced, which had suspended operations in many places. The general success of the

miners is represented as "good," "very encouraging," &c. At the Georgetown diggings the daily average is 3 ounces,

The Coat of Arms of Caiifo California has prepared a coat ^f arms and a seal, which is describe»pfy a correspondent as having on her foreground a grisly bear, feeding upon a cluster of grapes, emblematical of the most fearful animal and ihe mostvdelicious luxuries of the country. Upon the right is a representation of Minerva holding the Gorgon Shield in one hand and a spear in the other, emblematical of its springing into existence as a State without going through the forms of a territorial Government. The reverse is the rep-, reservation of the miner, with pick and spade and implements of mining, toiling for the precious treasure. In the middle is a river, on which are seen steamboats emblematical of commerce. In the distance is the snow-clad tops of the Sierra Nevada, and on the top the motto, "Eureka," (I have found it,) applicable to the miner, as success attends his labors or the stranger, as he settles down in the valley of the country or to the politician, as he sees a State admitted at onco without any previous legislation.

Temperance in bating.

The young man walks in the midst of lemptation to appetite, the improper indulgence to which is in danger of proving his ruin. Health, longevity, and virtue depend on his resisting these temptations. The providence of God is no more responsible, because a man by improper indulgence becomes subject to disease, than for the picking of his pock ets. For a young man to injure his health, is to waste his patrimony and destroy his capacity for virtuous deeds. Should a man love God, he will have ten times the strength for the exercise of it, with a sound body. Not only the amount but the quality of a man's labor depends on his health. The productions of the poet, the man of science, or the orator, must be affected by his health. Not on Iv lying lips, but a dyspeptic stomach, is an abomination to the Lord. The man who neglects to control his appetites is to himself what a state of barbarism is to society—the brutish part predominates. He is to himself what Nicholas is to Hungary.

The epicure, who seeks pleasure in a dinner which cost five dollars, will find less enjoyment of appetite than the laborer who dines on a shilling. If the devotee of appetite dosires its highest gratification he must not send for buffalo tongues, but climb a mountain or swing an axe. Without health there is no delicacy that can provoke an appetite.—

PARTY VIOLENCEIN PAST TIMES.—Mr. Gallatin once related several anecdotes illustrative of party violence in by-gone times for instance, how the house in which he and his colleague lived in Philadelphia was at one time (during an election, I think) completely invested by a body of men hired by their political opponents, and how they soon raised the siege by playing off the same game against the- enemy how a body of them once came to the house of Commodore Nicholson, at the lower end of Broadway, in New York, his father-in-law, where he was staying, and played the" Rogue's March the old gentleman, his wife's father, who had never heard ihe lune before, sitting complacently in the porch all the time, under the idea that it was intended as a complimentary serenade, and being on the point of inviting th& party in to an entertainment, till the character and meaning of the music was made known to him and how at Reading, in Pennsylvania, he once walked to his carriage through a mob who were busily engaged in burning him in effigy. —Bartlett's Reminiscences^

Mr. COOPER, the novelist, being in New York city lately, he and the editor of the Home Journal, N. P. Willis, were conversing upon the period when ihey met in Paris, 1832: "I was calling upon Lafayeiteone day, (said Mr. Cooper,) and was let in by his confidential servant, who, it struck me, showed signs of having something to conceal. He said his master was at home, and, after a moment's hesitation, made way for me to go on as usual lo his private room but I saw that there was some embarrassment. I walked in and lound the general alone. He received me with the same cordiality as ever, but inquired, with some eagerness, who let me in, and whether I met an old acquaintance going out. I told him that his old servant had admitted me, and that there was certainly something pe culiar in the man's manner but as I had seen no one else, I knew nothing more. "Ah," said the general, "that fellow put him in the side. room. Sit down and I will tell you. Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was here two minutes ago!'1

I expressed surprise, of course, for this was in '33, when it was death for a Bonaparte to enter France. "Yes," con tinued the general, "and he came with a proposition. He wishes to marry my granddaughter Clementine, unite the re* publicanists and the imperialists, make himself emperor, and my granddaughter iitiperatrice!" And, if it be not an indiscreet question," I said, "what was your answer, my dear general?" "I told him," said Lafayette, "that my fam ilv had the American notion on that subject, and chose husbands for themselves—that there was the young lady,

An j,e might go and court her, and, if sho

Presented of

objection."

Mr Cooper did not tel! us, says ihe Journal, (for of course he did not know,) how the prince plied his wooing, nor why he failed. The fair Clementine, who thus possibly lost her chance of being an empress, married Monsieur de Beaumont, and now represents her rejected admirer as tho French ambassa: dress at the court of Austrio.

CANADA TO BE ABANDONED BY GREAT BRITAIN.—The London United Service Gazette has reasons for "boldly announcing that the question of abandoning Canada, as a British Colony, has been the most absorbing topic, (with the Cabinet,) and we learn, from authority in which we are apt to place firm reliance, that it has been all but determined <to give up Canada, as a dependence of the British Crown>."

MOPFATS

Life Pills and Phtchix

BUters.

These Meiiiriiw* have now hem before tl» public for a period of FIFTEEN YEAKS,

and

durinwthat time htwe maintained higli character in"almost every part of the globe for their extraordinary and immediate power of restoring perfect health to persons suffering undei? nearly every kind of disease to which the human frame ia liable.

IN MANY THOUSANDS i1

of certificated instances, they have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of sn untimely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the day had utterly foiled and to many thousands they have permanently secured that uniform hijoymetit of health, without which life itself is but a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy invariably and infallibly -proved, that it has appeared scarcely le«i than miraculous jo those who were acquainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which tkey cous^uently act It was to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and channels of life, and enduini •iem witli reaewed tone and vigor, that thev were indebted fbr their name.

Unlike the host of pernieious qunckenea which boast of vegetable ingredients, the XJFEMEDIfilNKS are purely and solely vegetable and contain neither JfferCliry, AjltimOIiy. nor Arsenic I«r any other mineral, any fonn whatever. They' are entirely composed of extracts fVom rare and |»werful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are altogether ftnknowu to the ignorant pretenders to medical science and were never before administered in so happily efficacious a combination.

The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities aud crudities constantly settling round them and to remove the hardened fmces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. ther medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind to produce habitual Costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden Diarrhea with its imminent dangers. This fact is well-known to all regular anatomists who examine the human bowels after death and hence the prejudice of these well-informed men against the quack medicines of the ageeffect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES '8

cleanse the kidneys aud the blad

der and, by this means, the liver nnd lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon Aie regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the hpart, being--thus purilied by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.

The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases in which tho VEGE* TABUS LIFE MEDICINES ate well known to be infallible.

DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing tho first and seoond stomachs, and creating a tlow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind Flatulency, °P Anw™, HF.AHTBORY, HEAOACHK, RKMTI.ESSNKSS, LL.L-'L E»rKK, ANXIKTV, LANGI'oa, and MELANCHOI.V, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, wilt vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure,

Costiveness, by cleansing tho whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence all violent purges leave th« bowels costive within tw days.

Diarrhoea

a»d

Cholera,, by removing the

sharp acrid fluidfe by wkcii these complaints ara occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secretion of the mucous membrane.

Fevers ut' ail

restoring the 0,000 to a

regular circulation, through the process of perspU ratiifi in 6ucii cases, and the thorough solution of all intestinal obstruction in others.

The LIT EN MKDICINKS have been knfttvn t# cure Bheumatism permanently in three weeks and Gout«» half that time, bv removing loca inflammation from the muscles and ligaments lhe joints.

Dropsies nil kinds, by freeing and strength ening lfi« kiflueys and bladder they operate moet delightfully'on these imiortaiit orgtins, and liencu have ever been found a certain remedy for the worst cases of Gravel.

Also Worms, by dislodging from the turning* of the bowels iho slimy iimiter to which tliew creatures adhere.

Asthma

aild

Consumption, by relieving th«

air-vessels of the lungs from the mucous which even slight colds will occasion, nnd which, it" not removed, becomes hardened, and produces these dreadful diseases.

Scurvy, XTlcers, and Inveterate• Sores J»y the perfect purity which these LIFE MLDI* CINES ffive to the blotwl, and all the humors.

Scorbutic Eruptions a"11 Bad Complexions by their alterative edict upon the muds that feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occasions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, and other disagreeable complexions.

The use of these Pills for a verv short time will effect an entire cure of Salt Rneom,

,ul(|

striking improvement in the clearness ot th^ skin. Common Cclds and Influenza will ulways be cured by ontj doBe, or by two even in the worst cuses.

PILES, As a remedy for this most distressing and obstinate nhilady, the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic recoiniju'iiuHuoti. It is well-known to hundreds in this city, that the former proprietor of these valuable Medicine# was himself afflicted with thia compaitit tiir upwards of •riiiHTV-fivB YKARB and that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medictt He however at length tried tlyp Medicine wnich is now offered to the public, aiiu he was cured in a very short ton.", after his recovery had been pronounced not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by any human means.

FEVER AND AGUE.

For this scourge of the western country theso Medicines will be found a safe, speedy, and certain remedy. Other medicines leave the system subject lo a return of the disease—a cure by theso medicines is permanent—TRY THEM, Bfi SATISFIED, ANP BE CURED.

Bilious Fevers and Liver Complaints. General Debility, Lo» OF API-KTITK, DISKASKSOK FKMAI-ES—these medicineshuve been used with the most beneficial results in cases of this description:—KINO'S EVIL and SCROFULA, in its worst £orms, yields to the mild yet powerful action of these remarkable Medicines. NIOHT SWEATS, NERVOUS DBBIUTV, NKRVOUS COMPLAINTS of all kinds, PALPITATION OF THE UKART, POINTER'S COLIC, are speedily cured.

MERCURIAL DISEASES. Persons whose constitutions have become Impaired by the injudicious use of MERCURY, will find these Medicines a perfect cure, as they never fail to eradicate from the system all the effects of Mercury infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparillau A single trial wil place them beyond the reach of competition, id the estimation of every patient.

BE CAREFUL OF COUNTERFEITS. Several have lately been discovered, and their nefarious authors arrested, both in the city of New York and abroad.
