If to ftel aafi insures safdty, theru is pro bablr do class of persons who ar more se cure" than our young men. Rutit.ia a sail thought that this dream of .security becomes confident as insecurity becomes imminent. And no darker shade can be pointed out in the picture of society at the present time, than that which is seen ia the condition ef multitudes of the young men who throng our cities and villages and - alas, our prison and penitentiaries. . . . vs..v. V - Y e may well rejoice that so many have entered upon the path of safety during the past year. But wnat are they to the four or five millions of young men wno are yet out of that path, wanderers from their Father's, house? That irrepressible outgush of the father's emotion in view of theruin of a be loved son, which so much excited the friend of David, was but the precursor, of many, e similar scene in the households of our own day, " And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and Wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom ! would God I had died for thee, 0 Absalom my son, my son !" Nor did it bring calm liens to his agitated soul to know that his friends were ashamed at what they regarded as an exhibition of his weakness. He still ' covered his face, and cried with a loud voice, 0 my son Absalom, my son, my son I" While such scenes are so common and ao heart-rending, ia it improper fur us to invest the question of David with a new meaning and a new errpbasii, while we solemnly ask, h the young man laftf" Ia he safe in respect to Ail principle!? It has become qpite fashionable in some quarters to sepa rate principle from practice. According lo many, and many who profess, par excellence, to be the friends of the young, a young man may believe what he pleases, or discard all belief, receive the truth or receive a lie, and yet be equally safe. The confessions of msny and many a young man in our prisons, and welt-known facts in innumerable cases, most concloajvely prove that those subtle and ever changing systems which teach what the carnal mind and the conscience ill at ease so greatly relish that character and conduct here are not followed by destructive consequences hereafter, has been the lieente for many a downward career. And nothing can be more natural. Once quiet the con science with the delusion so welcome, that all ia well for eternity irrespective ot prin ciple and character, and all other restraints are but the feeblest protection. Principle, and principle based upon Coifs truth, and consonant with an enlightened Christian conscience, is indispensable to safety. And even principle alont is not enough." -f ih vmena; man nfe" in rvgpect to hi hnhilit Lnsafe habits are numerous, anil anmetimea in their first nnnearance. vorv harmless and even very plausible. Habits of irreverence fur the name, the tlav, the nouse, and the truth of God, are the almost t o that a lllack Republican rresiilent may certain precursors of habits that degrade ujritle in safely, and if we believe some peo in the eyes of all virtuous men. A bad habit, pic, Faustin the first, who is no at leisure. once confirmed, is a dire calamity, as well as a personal degradation. How often have slave to lust struggled in vain to get free. Young men should take warning. Thev should realize that the temptationa of routn have, in late years, greatly multiplied. Yet greatlv as this increases their danger, thej should know that temptation, in itself, it not a nrectiani evil to the tempted. If t ' - , , . , . , , . Brmly met and reststed.lt may be a blessing jonn nunvan couiu av ot nit temptationa, I have found a nett of honey in the carcass nf the lion that roared upon me." It is not the temptation that in itself creates the dan ger, but it it the wayward heart that yitldt to it, and thus leads one into unsafe habits. It the younir man enfe" in respect to hit tompanionthipt " He that walketh with wise men, shall be wise : but the companion of fools shall be destroyed." The young man Absalom, long before hit tad end, asso ciated himself with foolt. And to do atl young men before they are destroyed.

Ma. Editor : From very ancient and un questioned authority, we have this excuse for neglect of duty t ' As th aervant was busy here and there, he was gone." A great many people in our world are butxj here and there, about any thing but the very thing which they ought to mint!. At this very mo ment a great portion of the Representatives of the nation are so buiy here and there, that the interests of their constituents are per mitted to "slide," with the snug salary of thoussnd a year, and some of them with as nroch more to cover traveling expenses, t!ir are so busy here and there, that they cannot find time to attend to the intereats of the Nation. Some of them are buty in push ing throngh Congress military contract, amounting in the aggregate to six millions, when it is generally understood that one million would he ample compensation. Five dollars per bushel lor Oats fifty-five for pis tolsone hundred and twenty-five for mus kets, one hundred per barrel for Flour, and all other articles in like proportion, would seem to simple people largely remunerative, but are looked upon as small matters, by those busy people, who have friends and part ners interested in military contracts. Some are buty in pushing through Con gress, mail contracts in the direction of the Pacific, at a ruinous expense to the com monwealth. Some are busy in pushing a Railroad to the West, to the bankruptcy of the country, and rather man laii, lavor a gi gantic system of log-rolling, in favor of three roads, to the tune of three or four hundred millions, fluty men these, quite too busy here ma there, to stop anq count tne conse quences. Some again are buty in pushing forward a pension bill, requiring annually the pro. ceeds of one hundred millions of dollars. Some are buty here and there, in laying plans for trTe acquisition of Cuba, beginning with the small instalment of thirty millions. With Naval and Postal contracts civil and military expenses and a boundless sys tem of pipe-laving, connected with a Presi dential election, we are in a fair way to have a permanent romiwc taritl nxed home upon us. The West is now in a position to obtain whatever she may demand, and aspirants, from whatever quarter they mny come, must court the West if they would succeed : and these people, who are buty here and there, understand it perltctiy. But it is said the South will not consent to an increased Tariff". This has been said tot tiften to obtain further credence- But the " last feather will break "the camel'a back."

The annual message of Gov. WeHer, of California, is before us; and from that doe. utnent, as well ss from the State Register fur the present year, just" issued, we learn that the material prosperity of the Golden State has considerably increased, in spite of the comparative anarchy, lynch law and vigilance committees which have existed in some por tions of it, at intervals, for the past few years. The population has been steadily inert' a s ing so that, from the estimate of 1840, of 26,000 people, it has grown to 538,000 in1 1858. Un the other hatui, the assessed value of property ha lallen off two millions sine last year, ana sixteen millions witi.iu .the last four vears. This denreciation is nut down chiefly to the discovery of gold in the rraser Kiver region, in agricultural pros pects of the country are rich and promising in the extreme. California hat over forty one million of acres of larftl sdapted to agri culture, thirty millions fit for grazing, and BVe millions in swamp and overflow lands. Of this, there are now in cultivation 756,734 acres an increase over 185G of 244,771 acres and in grazing 1,159,813 acses. The statistics of agriculture show says the Go vernorthat the number of sheep now in the State is not less than 050,000; being more than double the numher we had in 1856. The increase in horses during the period it 43,000, and in cattle, 120,000, The exports of hides during the paat year amounted to $316,712. The crop of wheat for lite year 1858 ia set down at 3.586,669 bushels, and that of barley at 5,582,717. This is 218,798 more bushels nf barley than the amount raised in the whole Union in 1850, according to the census. In vine growing and the manufacture of wine and brandies, California is lar in ad vance of any State in the Union her climate and toil both being peculiarly adapted for that purpose: and it it evident that her peo ple are determined to avail themselves of these natural advantages, for it appears that vine growing has increased a hundred and fifty per cent, in two years. Last year three hundred and eighty-five thousand gallons of wine and ten thousand gallons of brandy were manufactured in that Slate the number of vines altogether amounting to four millions, whereof two-thirds are grown in the county of Lot Angelot alone. The yield of gold fluctuates but little from the average of the past five years. The la test reliable return we hare it up to Decern her 1857, anil that thnwt the yield to have been $65,550,000 being nearly live millions less than that of 1856, and three millions more than that of 1853, S3. The total Riild yield of California since 1848 to the close of 1858, l;oTl.rnor . nort finav. that this svstera of it estimated at $1.00.000,000, and that it pro. jouLle talaties, running through the field bably correct.

A'cw York JleraU. THE COaT OF INDIAN WAHS. A specimen of the manner in which the nation it fleeced, is exhibited in the war hills for the ludian skiriiiUlies in Oreiron anil Washington Territories in 1855 arid '50, which sum up nearly six millions of dollars. Thn Washington correspondent of the New York Courier & Enquirer gives the following detail : " The highest number of men in the ser vice of Oregon Territory at any one time was 1.84J, and the average expense or charge for each day's service was ill 21 per man." Snic men were paid in three or four capaci ties, as officers and privates, as mechanics and teamsters, and even as physicians. One private is reported as having due him f 8, 829 for persoual service, and the Commis sioners allow $2,039. Little steamboats were hired at from $300 to $3,000 per day. Hotset were shod for $12 each. Laborer! were hired at $4 per day, and clerks at It) dollars per day. Forage for a horse or mule is charged" for at $2 per day. Horses were bought at $300, but many of them aro charged for at $400, and even as high as $350. But when these come to be sold, they bring the most moderate prices, as 10 for $005, or $60 50 each. The general price is aunui w. niuies were obtained lor $20(1, $220 and $400 per brad. Oxen at the same prices, per yoke. The average price for horses and mules is about $350, and for oxen about $300 pear yoke. The price of hay varies i mm vju to i9u per ton. uats sometimes rise to $5 50 per bushel, and wheat to $7. Peas were procured at SO cents per pound. The pasturage for animals cost sometimes $1 and sometimes (3 per day. " One of Air. Peter's transactions gives evidence of a rapid advance towards the ar tificin! wants of polished society, without regard to expense. He bought 150 slice It nf drawing paper at $430. He sold 75 sheets for $11 25, so that the 75 sited that were consumed in public service cost $438 75, or nearly six dollart per sheet Mr. Peters deserves credit, however, for crediting the sheets not used to the federal treasury. Had these sheets been missing, itmigth have thrown a wet blanket over his whole account. The scows purchased for 900 dollars sold for 60. " Perhaps it it at not all remarkable that James Tilton, Surveyor General of Wash ington, at a slavary of 3,000 a year, is re ported for pay at Adjutant General of the I'erritorial forces at over 4,000 dollars! that Major Rains, U.
