WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...DECEMBER 24, 1851 A bill has been introduced into Congress having for its object the better protection of the person of the President of the United States. It provides that an assault upon the President, with intent to kill, shall be punishable by death; provided, that if the assailant is proven insane, he shall be confined in an asylum for life. News has just been received of the burial of the Eastern Empress of China, whose death took place several months ago. No more important matter comes before the Imperial Board of Astrologers than the fixing of the time and place of burial of a member of the imperial family, for if an unfortunate selection is made, a stream of ill luck flows down the family. Rather than take any risk in such an important matter, the body of a Chinaman of high rank will remain unburied for years even. Inspired doubtless by the rumored large ransom paid to the robbers for the return of A. T. Stewart's cadaver, some scoundrels in England have stolen the body of Earl Crawford, with the expectation of being handsomely paid for its return. In Lady Crawford, however, they have met their match. Her high spirit and detestation of the revolting crime have conquered her desire to treat with the robbers, and she has announced her determination to offer no reward, believing that to do so would be to encourage a repetition of such offenses. The ups and downs of California life receives a vivid illustration in the career of Daniel H. Haskell. In the spring of '50 he was manager of the banking house and express firm of Adams & Co., the predecessors of Wells, Fargo & Co., and had an income of $70,000 a year. When Adams & Co. Her high spirit and detestation of the revolting crime have conquered her desire to treat with the robbers, and she has announced her determination to offer no reward, believing that to do so would be to encourage a repetition of such offenses. The ups and downs of California life receives a vivid illustration in the career of Daniel H. Haskell. In the spring of '50 he was manager of the banking house and express firm of Adams & Co., the predecessors of Wells, Fargo & Co., and had an income of $70,000 a year. When Adams & Co. failed Haskell beggared himself by giving all that he had to the creditors. But his spirit was broken, he took to drink, became a vagabond and an outcast and died in the Almshouse at San Francisco on last Saturday. Among the bills introduced in Congress during the week is one providing for an income tax. It provides for the assessment and collection of a 3 per cent tax upon all net incomes above $3,000 per annum, and is made to apply to all corporations as well as individuals. If we mistake not, this bill, or one somewhat similar, has been introduced in Congress a great many times without ever having reached the point of being discussed. That this will be its fate at this session is evident from the fact that enough bills have already been introduced to occupy the attention of Congress for a year, (supposing it to remain in session that long), and it is not likely they will advance a bill on the file which has so many bitter opponents as the one in question. It is strange that in a country like Scotland, where Presbyterianism of the strictest kind maintains, and where the people are so eternally enthusiastic in their religious belief, the festival of Christmas is to a great extent entirely ignored. More especially is this true of the poorer classes. The only interest they have in Christmas is that it denotes the approach of "Nerday" or New Year's Day, which is the day above all others dear to the Scottish heart. It is on that day that presents are made, and all the festivities incident to Christmas in this country are indulged in. On the other side of the Tweed, however, in Merrie England, the 25th of December is the holiday of the year, while New Year's Day is observed in much the same manner as in this country. The following is the full text of the bill introduced in the Senate December 8th, by Mr. Garland to provide for the performance of the duties of the presidential office in case of removal, death, resignation or inability of the President. "Be it enacted, &c., that Section 146, title III, of the revised statutes is hereby repealed. Section 2. In case of the removal, death, resignation or inability of both the President and Vice President of the United States, the Secretary of State, for this purpose, shall be appointed by a vote of all members of Congress." And while the little ones are so employed many a child of larger growth is making his or her preparation for a hasty visit to the old home, for Christmas is pre-eminently a social festival, and families that have grown up and whose members have scattered and perhaps reared other families of their own, try upon this day to meet under the old rooftree and there amid dear and familiar scenes to renew their youth in recalling old times and watching the pleasures of their own children in the home where their childhood was spent. This is the social Advent. It is the advance note of joy over the first Advent which the social world celebrates on Christmas Day no less than the strictly religious world. Not so many years ago, the celebration of Christmas was strictly forbidden in some parts of the world by law; now, there is hardly a country where this day is not more or less observed. The interest in this day seems to be constantly increasing. Its celebration is year by year more and more universal, and it is quite worth while to consider what, in an ecclesiastical sense, gives so much meaning to the birth of Christ. All the ages preceding that event was one long season of waiting for the coming of Messiah, and all the ages since His departure from the world are ages of waiting for His second coming. This is the religious, not the social meaning of Christmas; and yet, year by year, this meaning is being more and more forcibly brought before the social world, for as the years pass on and men dwell more upon the humanity of the Savior. His wonderful compassion, charity and love; as they remember His forbearance and study His life, religion grows more tolerant and the Christian more humble. The great truths of religion are held as firmly as ever, and still it is true that "Straight is the gate," and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life." But men have learned at last that the true followers of Christ need not hold themselves abof from the world, and walk among their fellowmen with austere faces and an expression that says, "I thank Thee that I am not as other men are," but that even as their Master went about the world doing good, joined in the wedding feast at Cana, and sat at meat with publicans and sinners, so they also may be in the world, and yet not of the world; but by their lives can attract rather than repel others to the right. The world is not growing worse, but better. Christianity is not losing ground, but steadily advancing. Men are learning to appreciate more fully the perfection of the doctrines taught by Christ and the full beauty of His human life. The social world is learning new reasons every year why Christians strive to lead Christian lives. Every year sees it join more readily and heartily in honoring the days of Christ's birth and resurrection. Each Christmas represents an old time which wonderful things they see they had rather have most, and sometimes they go away quite undecided. Everything looks so nice that they cannot determine which is best.

O'er the hills night shadows steal; Scarce a light breeze stirs; See the Virgin mild Chaps her new-born Child! Round the manger shepherds kneel-- Humble worshippers Hark! angels sing Round their heavenly King! Tis for man, and not for them, Sleepes the Babe in Bethlehem. Thou whose head to earth is lowly Bowed in woe and shame, When no help seems nigh To thy piteous cry, Think! It was not for the holy The Redemner came. Hark! angels sing Round their heavenly King! For earth's sinful and defiled Comes to-night The Saviour Child. He who to the cradle brings One pure, generous thought, To the infant there Brings a gift more rare Than the gold and myrrh the kings Of the Orient brought. Hark! angels sing Round their heavenly King! Tis for man, and not for them, Sleepes the Babe in Bethlehem. Harper's Magazine. By an explosion in a coal mine in Lancashire, England, on Sunday, forty persons were killed. Ex-Secretary Rhaine has accepted the invitation extended by Congress to deliver an eulogy on Garfield. GARDEN GROVE ITEMS. Your Westminster correspondent seems to imply that there is somewhat of a boom in the land market in that locality. I heartily wish there was a lively transfer in real estate, but the selling of a few places at prices that have prevailed for the past two years or more, is not much of a boom; nor is what Westminster township deserves. When land is sold at two or three times the prices asked for it a year ago, I would call it a "boom." There is no reason why we should not have as good prices for our best land as are obtained in the vicinity of Santa Ana, Orange or Riverside. Our land will produce all kinds of fruits just as abundantly, and of just as good quality as anywhere. This may not prove true of oranges and lemons, but as to grapes and apricots, and all kinds of Northern fruits it has already been demonstrated. Dealers in fruits in Arizona seem to prefer our apples at a higher price than apples that can be obtained in Los Angeles city. The wine-makers of Anaheim pay as much for grapes from Westminster, as they do for grapes produced in Anaheim. Garden Grove raisins sold in Los Angeles on the 15th instant at $1 50 per half box of ten pounds, which is the highest price that has been paid this season. These raisins were grown on our ordinary sandy land without irrigation. Hundreds, yea, thousands of acres of such land is lying vacant in Westminster township and can be obtained at prices varying from thirty to fifty dollars per acre. It may be asked, why is not this land improved? The answer is easy to give: Our own people give their homes a bad name; our neighbors in Anaheim and Santa Ana do not fail to give our land the worst possible character, saying it is nothing but an alkali swamp, while at the same time they come here for hay, potatoes, blackberries, raspberries, apples, etc., etc. One man will insist that our sandy soil is worthless because we have no adequate means of irrigation, while his neighbor will insist that our fruits will be worthless and our trees and vines die because there is so much water in the soil near the surface. We have no THE JEANNETTE. News from the Herald's Arctic Exploration—The Vernal Lost, but a Part of the Crew Saved. London, December 20th.—The finding of the Arctic exploring steamer Jeannette was reported to the meeting of the Royal Geographical Society to-day. The news comes from St. Petersburg, and was brought there by Lieutenant General Avoutchmi, the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia. Full reports of the interview with the crew will shortly be given. WASHINGTON, December 20.—Secretary of State Frelinghuysen received to-day the following telegram from the Charge d'Affaires of the United States at St. Petersburg: Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.: The Jeannette was crushed in the ice on June 11th, in latitude 77, longitude 157. The crew embarked in three boats, but were separated by wind and fog. Boat No. 3, with eleven men, Engineer Melville commanding, reached the mouth of the Lena on September 19th. Subsequently No. 1, with Captain De Long, Doctor Ambler and twelve men, reached the Lena in a pitiful condition. Prompt assistance was sent. Boat No. 2 is not heard from. HOFFMAN, St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, December 20.—A special supplement to the Official Gazette, issued this evening announces that all the telegrams from Engineer Melville of the lost Arctic exploring steamer Jeannette will be forwarded to their destinations as promptly as possible, and that the most energetic measures will be taken for discovering the remainder of the crew of the Jeannette and those left on the ice at the mouth of the Lena river. The news reached the Governor at Jakutsk, in Eastern Siberia, that on September 14th three natives of Ouloney, near Cape Barhap, 140 versts north of Cape Bikoff, discovered a boat containing eleven men, who stated that they belonged to the Jeannette and had undergone terrible suffering. On hearing the news the District Deputy Governor, with a doctor and medicines, was General Besuregard's—that there was $2,500,000 at Greensboro." "What became of the money left?" "That I am unable to say. Davis has never given any satisfactory account of it, to my knowledge, and what is a stranger thing to me, is that the Northern people have never called upon him to account for it." New York, Dec. 22d.—The World's Washington special says: With reference to the statement of Gen. Johnston about Confederate money, removed by order of Davis, Reagan, of Texas, now in the House, who was the last Secretary of Treasury of the Confederate Government, said to-night that the funds consisted, in round numbers, of $86,000 in gold coin, $35,000 in silver coin and $26,000 in bullion. Over $100,000 of this was paid out to soldiers. The bulldon was stored in a warehouse at Washington, Georgia, and was there captured by the Federal troops. About $15,000, all that remained in coin, was entrusted to two Confederate naval officers to take to Nassau, but it was captured on the way. This explanation of the disappearance of the last of the Confederate treasure is as near official as can be obtained at this day. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Partner Wanted.

PHIJADELPHIA, December 19.—The Press has a column interview between a staff correspondent and General Joe Johnstou, in the course of which he charged Jeff Davis with stealing a large amount of money. He desired that it be distributed among the soldiers, as they had received no pay for months, and so wrote Mr. Davis after he fled from Richmond to Charlotte, but Mr. Davis paid not this land improved? The answer is easy to give: Our own people give their homes a bad name; our neighbors in Anaheim and Santa Ana do not fail to give our land the worst possible character, saying it is nothing but an alkali swamp, while at the same time they some here for hay, potatoes, blackberries, raspberries, apples, etc., etc. One man will insist that our sandy soil is worthless because we have no adequate means of irrigation, while his neighbor will insist that our fruits will be worthless and our trees and vines die because there is so much water in the soil near the surface. We have no ditches for bringing water from the river. We do not need any, we can obtain all the pure artesian water we want by boring a well a hundred feet deep. If the water does not flow we can raise it by wind or steam power at a less price than it costs to irrigate the same number of acres from a ditch or canal, and the owner of the soil has the advantage in always having the water at his command. There are thousands of acres here well adapted to alfalfa and a large area is being sowed. One or two cheese factories are talked of, and there is hardly any more paying business than making cheese or selling milk. NEMO. ORANGE ITEMS. The natives all look happy. The orange growers begin to hold their heads as high as the raisin makers. We need a station master at the Orange depot, very bad. The Presbyterian Sunday School will have a Christmas tree in the church, on Christmas Eve. Also the M.E. Sunday School will have one in their church. Outsiders should patronize both. Mr. A.B. Clark is shipping 100 boxes of oranges per day. We are glad to learn that Mr.W.M.Scott is convalescing. The Orange boys are showing considerable interest in "Our Boys" party for the 30th. Our ex-mail carrier is beginning to swear off for 1882. Won't work, for a nickel. Some of the Rifle Club say they will have turkeys for sale cheap, after the match.

Mr. Webb's lecture on Sunday evening was well attended as was the one on Monday evening, and all hope his visit may be repeated. We notice a choice collection of candies in Miss M. A. McCoy's store as well as many other things useful and ornamental. The tree at the Presbyterian Church tonight will be something novel, so they say. It's lots of fun getting ready for Christmas, so we judge from the parties of young folks we find around popping corn, mazing and filling candy bags, fixing trees, etc. Messrs.

WHO GOT THE MONEY? PHIĀADELPHIA, December 19. —The Press has a column interview between a staff correspondent and General Joe Johnston, in the course of which he charged Jeff Davis with stealing a large amount of money. He desired that it be distributed among the soldiers, as they had received no pay for months, and so wrote Mr. Davis after he fled from Richmond to Charlotte, but Mr. Davis paid no attention to his suggestion. In answer to a question as to what he knew about the final use to which the money was put, General Johnston is quoted as saying: "It followed or preceded the head of the civil government of the Confederacy to the South about the time Davis went in that direction." "Have you any idea of the amount of specie Davis carried South?" "Colonel Paul, an eminent artillery officer of the Confederacy, and now a prominent lawyer of Richmond, a man of high character, told me he inspected the specie before its removal from Richmond; and after it had been loaded ready for transportation. He said there was a car-load of it. As he only saw it boxed ready for shipment, he could of course give no information as to the amount in dollars and cents. General Beauregard, however, was in immediate command at Greensboro while President Davis was there, and doubtless had an opportunity of knowing more accurately the amount of money with the President than most any one except his immediate political friends. He told me he was convinced that the President had $2,500,000 in specie at Greensboro. I have no doubt General Beauregard's estimate was within bounds. After Davis left Charlotte and moved south, a Confederate officer told me that while he was standing near the bridge crossing a small creek a man rode up and inspected it. He said he was in charge of the President's money, and wanted to see whether the bridge was safe or not. The man in charge told the officer that he had twenty wagon-loads of specie in his train. This would be in perfect harmony with Colonel Paul's statement—that there was a car-load when it left Richmond, and with REDUCTION IN PRICES At The DRY GOODS PALACE, OUR NEW STOCK ARRIVED ON THURSDAY.
