determined to pursue their fortune, and
get possession if possible, of all the mines
on the Corns tock lodes.
By loaning money on hypothecated
stock they may be able to do this through
the misfortunes of the hypothecators, and
this is believed, by the knowing ones, to
be their main object in opening the Bank
of Nevada. However this may be, the
opening of the Bank was a grand success,
u a Deaotiiui counting-room and an un
limited display of gold coin can make a
success. I think I never saw a more
elegant banking-bouse, or a greater amouut
of gold coin. There it was, piled on trays

were strewn around the floor, in front of
the massive iron safes, which were thrown
wide open for inspection. One could
almost imagine that he had suddeuly
stepped into Aladdin's cave, aud was
surrounded by the wealth of a nation.
There was the coin, enough to enrich
thousands of suffering, and make happy
hundreds of thousands of our fellow crea
tures; but it all belonged to four men, and
these four men are still piling up their
wealth by the million. It is the money
which is even eveutually to flow to the
ast, and hasten the resumption of specie
payment. The scene was very different
from that which signalized the reopening
of the Bank of California last Saturday.
The crowd was aB great, and as much
enthusiasm was manifested when the big
doors swung opeu, but the throng was
composed merely of curious lookers-on.
No huge bags of gold were emptied on
the counters by confident depositors.
There was no need of it. The gold was
there, and Flood & O'Brien are not anx

vast wealth. A few depoeita, uowever,

BANKING IN CALIFORNIA.

Many wonder how it ia that two Yan-
; kee preachers, Moody aud Saukey, couid

repentance ai.d a livelier seuse of religion.
As orators and scholars they are not
equal to Bcecher, Taiuiage or Deems. In
fact, they are only second rate as scholars,
thinkers and orators.
Bru'her Mangum, brother Burkhead or
brother Hudson can beat Moody preach
ing, and brother Moore can out sing
Saukey. Moody aud Saukey are enthu
siasts. Gladstone, Lord Shaftesbury and the
gentry of England were never warmed
by a religious glow such as is felt at
Cedar Grove and Pleasant Green or old
Sharon, in Orange, and, in (act, on all the
rtligious camp-grounds in North Carolina.
Moody and Saukey introduced into the
courts and palaces of England a little
"Happy is that people whose God is the
Lord."
Is uot this tbe testimony of the civilised
world as well as the declaration of the
inspired penman 1 That nations, conn tries ,
or kingdoms, on the face of the earth,
stand foremost in all that eoobles human
ity t Are they not those countries whose
"God is the Lord'' t Where are the dark
places of cruelty, but in those corners of
earth where the knowledge of the true
God has not penetrated. There, meu
worship tbe creatures of their own hands,
or the son, or beasts, or reptiles, or any
object which the darkened imagination
may fasten upon. And there is ignorance,
vice and degradation, a hopeless, ray
less night. Generation succeeds genera
tion, and there ia evolution without pro
gression. Meu come aud go like the
beasts having no knowledge restraining
passion, aud no hope inspiring to the
practice of virtue. The opposite of all
this ('is that people whose God is the
Lord." The Lord, by his word of truth
Iifteth the people who acknowledge him
as their God ; and they are graded just in
the proprotiou in which that acknowledge
ment is limited. These United States of
America more generally acknowledge
him, perhaps, than any other. England,
Scotland, Ireland. Prance, tbe Germau

are shaping its affairs, socul, civil, and
religious ; and by them are all tbe grand

ces a great truth : that no one denies it
that from a stitpd point taking in all the
world into the comparison, it would claim
as ready admission as the declaration,
"the sun is bright."
If, then, "hippy is that people whose

responsibility resting upon those who are
in authority among such a people and yet
do not honor him According to a man's
kuowledge the judgment shall Le.

Tbe following passage occurred in one
of the Rev. Joseph T. Durpea's sermoos
io New York, recently :
And yet I say that worship should be
reverential. That its expression, its
mode, its form should be ia sympathy
with the feeling of a deep awe ia tbe pre
sence of God. And it ia for this reason I

the house of God. And it is for this rea
son I desire to banish from it everything

where men forget God, and worship self,
