MOORE’S 
ARRIVAL OF THE GEORGIA. 
Fourteen days Later from California. 
New York, Jan. Gth—3 I*. M. 
The Georgia arrived this forenoon. She brings 
$2011,000 in gold dust. She left Chagres on the 
26th ult., with 023 passengers, and left 410 at Ha¬ 
vana, to go by tho Pacific to New Orleans. 
The Oregon arrived at Panama on the 20th with 
276 passengers, and $2,000,000 in freight and$l,- 
000,000 in hands of passengers. 
The Georgia left the Crescent City at Chagres, 
waiting for gold dust. She had 430 passengers.— 
Those remaining on the Isthmus would leave in 
sailing vessels. The dry season was setting in, 
and Chagres becoming more healthy. 
Havana was quiet. The new Captain General 
was much respected. Five 0 r six Californians were 
imprisoned for violating Spanish laws. 
The general news from California is of but little 
importance. • 
Many of the miners were preparing to wintor in 
the mountains. 
The cholera has almost entirely disappeared from 
Sacramento, where it has raged with great malig¬ 
nity. Business there has consequently revived.— 
The city is now in the full tide of prosperity. The 
Mayor of Sacramento is dead, 
The deaths in San Francisco are not so numerous 
in proportion to the population, as they were twelve 
months since. Many of the streets are planked, 
and other improvements are going on. The rainy 
season commenced in earnest on the 19th Novem¬ 
ber. The rains have opened the upper rivers, so 
that small steamers can now navigate. The rains 
also give the miners in the dry diggings a better 
chance to wash out the ore. Many new veins have 
been opened, in fact the gold stories seem very fa¬ 
vorable. 
Much complaint is made of the neglect of Con¬ 
gress in providing for the wants of the people.— 
Among their wants are a mint, post-office, mail 
routes, and land titles. 
The political complexion of the Legislature is still 
doubtful. Both parties claim a majority. The opin¬ 
ion of Alta California is, that it is Democratic.— 
The election at Sacramento city, is yet to como off, 
and may however, change the present aspect. The 
appointments to State Offices give general satisfac¬ 
tion. 
Markets. —Owing to heavy arrivals, and the 
late sickness, business generally is dull, and large 
quantities of goods have been forced on the market 
at less than cost. 
Flour steady; provisions, furniture and building 
materials dull and declining. 
From Lake Superior. 
The Daily Wisconsin has a telegraphic despatch 
from Green Bay a wilderness a few years ago, 
dated 20th ult., stating that two gentlemen and the 
mail carrier had reached that place from Lake 
Superior. They find snow two and three feet deep 
around the head waters of Menominee. They left 
Eagle Harbor, Dec. 7th, being ten days making 
the trip. They came most of the way on snow 
shoes, and made 45 miles last day of travel previ¬ 
ous to reaching White Rapids on the Menominee, 
being out of provisions. 
The amount of copper shipped from all the mines 
this season, reaches over 1,500 tons, of which the 
cliff mines shipped 800. 
Most kinds of grain and vegetables were planted 
this season, and the crops have been good. Wheat 
was planted for the first time and succeeded well. 
The mines were generally healthy, and the pros¬ 
pects good, and the miners are preparing with in¬ 
creased confidence for more extensive operations 
r?xt year. 
Running of Locomotive Engines. —An accu¬ 
rate account of the number of miles run by each 
Engine upon the Syracuse & Utica Railroad is 
kept by tho Company, from which we have taken 
the following : 
The “Garangula,” built by Rogers, Ketchum 
& Grosvenor, has run in the last year 26,294 miles. 
The “ Osceola,” built by the same, has run 25,016 
miles. The “ Diomed,” built by Messrs. Norris, 
has run in tho same time 26,552 miles; and the 
“ Hippomenes,” built by the same, has run 25,- 
589 miles. 
This is a large service for engines; averaging full 
80 miles per day for every working day in the year. 
They are all in first rate order, and in daily service. 
It will bo interesting to see tho number of miles run 
on other roads. —Syracuse Journal. 
Ring Found on Burgoyne’s Camp Ground.— 
YVe have seen a very handsome gold and enamel 
mourning ring that was found, in June last, in 
Greenwich, Washington county, on the banks of 
the Hudson. This relict was found two miles north 
of the place where Gen. Burgoyne surrendered to 
Gen. Gates, Oct. i, 1 11 7, and where the former 
General had his encampment. The ring was 
found by a boy, while lie wag planting a field, and 
is in a perfect state, th'tt enamel bearing, in distinct 
gold letters, “Robert Johnson, Ob. Nov. 1775. 
/E, 71. The probability is that the ring belonged 
to some officer of tho British army. 
Lumber Trade in Maine. —The Bangor Mer¬ 
cury in mentioning that the quantity of lumber 
surveyed at that port during the past year was 
203,754,200 fee*, averaging $10 per thousand feet, 
says it exceeds the amount heretfore surveyed in 
any one year, except 1848, when reached 212,- 
000,000 feet. More has been shipped this year, 
however, than in that or any other year. The 
above figures are exclusive of laths, shingles, clap¬ 
boards, &c., which are technically denominated 
short lumber, the annual value of which is estima¬ 
ted by some to equal that of the kinds included. 
Indian Literature. —A new paper for the Si¬ 
oux Indians, called the Dakota Tawaxitku Kin, 
(the Dakota Friend,) is just issued at the Chroni¬ 
cle office, to be published monthly, at twenty-five 
cents per annum, under tho superintendence of the 
Rev. Gideon H. Fond, of the Dakota Mission ; and 
printed *in ’the^Dakota language done into our al¬ 
phabet very imperfectly, but as well probably, as 
our alphabet can be made to represent the hissing, 
spattering, hawking, grunting, clucking, gutturals 
and unutterals of the Dakota language, composed 
as it is, of words which fall upon the tympanum 
less like soft snow flakes than like a mingled tem¬ 
pest of tomahawks, hedge hogs and wild cats._ 
Minnesota Pioneer. 
Mexican Revenue.— The revenues of the Mex¬ 
ican Clergy exceed $20,000,000 a year. The 
value of their real estate is enormous. In the Dis- 
n r A? 1 t « 0 L Mexico tho total real estate is worth $50,- 
000,000 ; half of it belongs to the Clergy. 
1 lie revenue of tho Government has never 
equalled its expenses. It cannot scrape together 
more than $6,000,000. These facts need no com¬ 
ment, says the Monitor. 
Otsego County Bank.— Tho Buffalo Commer¬ 
cial has been requested to state that bill holders 
and depositors in tho Otsego County Bank will 
sutler nothing in consequence of the late robbery, 
the amount stolen being less than the surplus on 
Hand. 1 he capital of the Bank remains untouched. 
Rural New-Yorker Ofkice, ) 
Rochester, January 7,1851. ) 
Since our last report there has been a general stagnation 
in the produce market in consequence of the stormy weath¬ 
er and the almost impassable condition of the roads. There 
is no material change in the prices of Wheat and Flour, 
and but few sales have occurred of consequence. 
Hogs are bringing about $5 i>er cwt. The choicest have 
sold for ©5,12.j. 
The Provision market remains unchanged.

amount of stock offering is below the demand; Erie RR less 
buoyant and sales have been made at | pret. decline; the 
tendency however is upward; U. S. 0s of 68 have advanced 
I; Coupons or68 |; 111. stock of 47 and interest stock seve¬

MONEY abundant, hut lenders are not much disposed 
to conced in rates; moderate demand which is most readily 
met. 
From the Tribune of Saturday:— 
The amount of interest on the Public Debt paid out to¬ 
day was ©550,000. A very large amount was also paid out 
by the State of Ohio for principal and interest, and by vari¬ 
ous descriptions of State and Corporation Stock and Bonds. 
The amount received at the Sub-Treasury was ©51,084.— 
Paid in the regular course of business, ©201,372. Balance 
in Sub-Treasury, ©1,362,397. 
'Phis has been one of the heaviest days for stock transac¬ 
tions that the street has known for some time. An immense 
amount of Stocks were to be received and delivered. One 
young house received for Stocks delivered ©480,000 and 
several others nearly ©300,000 each. 
LEATHER—Is much more quiet. Hides imported 1848, 
970,0(H); 1849, 1,230,000; 1850, 1,500,000. 
GROCERIES—The Coffee market is very firm, with a 
stock under 15,000 bags, and mostly in mats, and of Java 
description. Of Rio there is about 9,000 bags; St. Domingo 
is nearly out of the market. A cargo of Java is offering lor 
sale. Molasses continues steady and quiet. Sugars are 
firm with a moderate local trade. 
WOOI.—The stock of domestic fleece is now reduced to 
350,(MX) lbs. with little or none to come forward, and with a 
smaller stock in either of the neighboring markets. It con¬ 
sists also of fine Wool—not above 20,000 tbs. being under 
40c. The inquiry has been fair for New-Year week, and 
moderate sales have been made at 10®45c, the higher price 
for choice and small parcels. The stock is sadly insuffi¬ 
cient for flic next six months, which it lias to serve for.— 
Foreign Wools arc quick of sale and most of the recent ar- 
■ rivals were sold previously. Buenos Ayres is out of the 
market. The stock is mostly of Smyrna and Morocco.— 
Prices are very buoyant and rapidly advancing. Pulled is 
in good request, at full prices. 
Albany Market. 
ALBANY, Jan. 6.—Trade continues very dormant.— 
Flour is in rather better demand, but the sales are not im¬ 
portant, being some 3 or 400 bbls. in lots mostly in a retail 
way at ©5®5,12 for common to pure Genesee; 5,12®5,37 
for fancy State and extra Western; 5,50®6,25 for extra 
Genesee. In grain there is nothing doing beyond street 
sales. The supply from the country is quite limited. VV'e 
quote Oats quick at 42c. Corn 66®67 for good dry. Rye 
73®75c. and Barley 90®98. The freight train not having 
arrived since our last, we have nothing to report in the way 
of dressed Ilogs. The last sales were at 5,62®5,75 at which 
the market closed firm. In Provision nothing important 
has transpired. A sale of 28 bbls. Prison Whiskey was 
made on Saturday afternoon at 25.jc, which is the nominal 
quotations for to-day.—[Alb. Jour. 
Buffalo Market. 
BUFFALO, Jan. 6.—The sales of all kinds of produce 
at this season of the year are merely nominal. Flour moves 
oft" in small quantities at ©4. In Wheat we hear of nothing 
doing. Whiskey is firm at 24c. In Seeds there are a few 
transactions—Clover is held at©5®5,50; Flax 1,50; Timo¬ 
thy 1,75®2. Mess Pork is firm at ©12, and prime at 8,50.

Moore’s Rural New-Yorker.— Published by 
D. I). T. Moore, city of Rochester, on the other side 
of tho lines, is one of the prettiest and best Week¬ 
lies that comes to this office. It is emphatically 
the Farmer’s Paper. While it gives, as its name 
imports, due attention to agricultural interests, it 
neglects not the grace of literature, the skill of sci¬ 
ence, the spice of miscellany, or the fresh budget 
of news. Wo like it—we read it—which is sayin<* 
more than we can say in bolmlf of all papers that 
pay us a visit. Read the following from its pros¬ 
pectus and, if so inclined, send your names and 
shillings this way, and the paper shall bo yours 
while the funds last.— Oshawa ( C. W.) -Reformer. 
To Agents and Others. 
Agents and others who form Clubs will bear in 
mind that it is not necessary that the papers should 
all be sent to one post office—(except in cases where 
40 copies or over are ordered to be addressed to one 
individual.) Some of our friends seem to be of 
the opinion that all the copies ordered by a club 
should be sent together, but this is not required.— 
We will send to us many different offices as may bo 
desired, provided our terms are complied with—and 
hence if any members of a club wish to receive 
their papers at any other office, or to send the New- 
Yorker to distant friends, they will be accommo¬ 
dated.

to the terms specified in next column. We cannot 
of course allow a few to deviate, and stand an equal 
chance with those who remit in full. Persons en¬ 
titled to specific premiums will please mention what 
books or volumes of the Farmer they want, in the 
letter containing their order and remittance. 
[IF Money on pil specie-paying banks will be re¬ 
ceived at par in payment for the New-Yorker.—

Farmers, 
Post-Masters, 
Clergymen, 
Teachers, andTOthers, 
— All to whom these 
presents may come—We solicit your attention and 
influence. We ask you, severally, to lend us your 
eyes in giving the New-Yorker an impartial ex¬ 
amination;—and, if you see it in the same favora¬ 
ble light as do others who are generously exerting 
themselves to enhance its popularity and usefulness, 
wo are confident that its existence and merits will 
soon be made known to many of your kinsmen and 
acquaintances. 
Having devoted much time and labor, and ex¬ 
pended several thousand dollars in firmly establish¬ 
ing a journal adapted to the wants and advocating 
the best interests of individuals, families and com¬ 
munities, we are now prepared to receive a com¬ 
mensurate return for untiring efforts in a worthy 
cause. And we respectfully submit, that, by lend¬ 
ing a portion of your influence toward bringing 
this enterprise to a most successful issue, you will 
at the same time be conferring benefit upon your 
fellow man. 
The Rural is now a permanent fact—the Ru¬ 
bicon of its existence is passed—and those even, if 
any such there are or were, who doubted its suc¬ 
cess at tho commencement, can rest assured that 
[t is alroady more widely circulated, and conse¬ 
quently in a more prosperous condition, than we 
expected to attain in several years,—and our ex¬ 
pectations have always alfowed an exceedingly 
wide margin on tho bright side. No weekly in 
Western New York, and perhaps none in the State 
ever equalled the New-Yorker in extent of pat¬ 
ronage, during the first twelve moons of its publi¬ 
cation—and judging from the past, and present most 
encouraging indications, we think our already large 
subscription list will be doubled before the first of 
April. But prosperity shall not lessen our efforts 
to furnish the best Agricultural and Family News¬ 
paper in the land. On the contrary, being agree¬ 
ably disappointed, we shall use proper endeavors to 
make a like return to our friends of the Rural 
Circle. 
Such as aro disposed to extend support aud en¬ 
couragement to the New-Yorker, will please turn 
to and read our Prospectus and Premium List on 
this page. They will there learn what we intend 
to accomplish, and also the very liberal terms upon 
which the paper is furnished.

“ PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENT.” 
THIS Journal has already attained a circula¬ 
tion of several thousand, and acquired a high re¬ 
putation. As an Agricultural and Family Paper it 
has no superior in the Nation. The extensive 
patronage aud commendation accorded to the 
work, abundantly sustain this assertion, and fur¬ 
nish the best evidence of its great value and 
popularity — for no journal, however cheap or at¬ 
tractive, could attain such a subscription and 
standing, in so brief a period, without possessing 
more than ordinary merit. 
The second volume will commence on the first 
of January, 1851. Relying mainly upon the 
merits and reputation of the paper for support, the 
Conductor deems it unnecessary to accompany 
this announcement with any extravagant language 
or pompous pledges. Still he may be permitted to 
remark that the facilities at his command are such 
as to warrant him in believing and asserting that 
the coming volume of the Rural New-Yorker 
■will he superior to its predecessor in most respects 
— and that he is determined to spare neither labor 
nor expense to render it far more valuable. 
As heretofore, and as its title indicates, the Ru¬ 
ral New-Yorkkr will continue to be mainly de¬ 
voted to Agriculture and Horticulture and their 
kindred Arts and Sciences —its chief object, end 
and aim being the promotion of the best interests 
of the Rural Population of the Country. But 
while this is its most prominent feature, important 
subjects interesting to other classes receive proper 
attention. Its various Departments — embracing 
Agriculture, Horticulture, Mechanic Arts and 
Science, Education,- Literature, General Intelli¬ 
gence, Reports of the Crops and Markets, &c., &c. 
— are conducted by gentlemen of experience and 
ability, assisted by a large number of talented Cor¬ 
respondents. Avoiding the trash put forth in too 
many of the so-called family-journals of the day, 
our constant aim is to furnish such a work as shall 
prove eminently valuable and interesting, and thus 
Improve the Mind, without vitiating the Taste or 
corrupting the Heart — one which will be sought 
and valued for the Usefulness, Variety, Purity 
and Excellence of its Contents. 
The Illustrations of the second volume will 
be superior to those already given. We intend 
to give 
OVER 200 ENGRAVINGS! 
Comprising many beautiful and costly illustrations, 
from original designs — thus appropriately embel¬ 
lishing the principal departments of the work.— 
Particular attention will be devoted to Rural 
Architecture, and the plans we shall give will 
probably he worth ten times the price of the paper ! 
to many subscribers. 
We shall also present a series of Portraits of dis¬ 
tinguished Statesmen, Inventors, Divines, Heroes, 
&c. Our design is to give in the next volume at 
least 
26 DOUBLE COLUMN PORTRAITS, 
executed in the best style of the gravers art, ac¬ 
companied with biographical sketches, &c. 
The leading Departments of the New-Yorker 
— Agriculture, Horticulture, Literature, News, the 
Markets, &c.,— will receive additional attention. 
As the paper is designed to benefit the Producing 
Classes, its pages will avoid or condemn humbug 
in whatever guize it may appear — from wooly 
horses down to Chittagong fowls and patent milkers 
The second volume will contain a Series of 
Letters on 
European Agriculture and Rural Affairs, 
by an American gentleman — the author of seve¬ 
ral works oU Agriculture and other subjects—who 
will leave for the Old World during the present 
month. He will visit England, France, Belgium 
—and probably Scotland, Holland and Prussia — 
and furnish results of his observations in the Rural 
Districts of those Countries. Our correspondent 
will also attend the 
WORLD’S INDUSTRIAL FAIR ! 
to be held at London, in May next, and take notes 
of the exhibition. 
In appearance — correctness of execution and 
beauty of print and illustrations — the New-York¬ 
er will continue to be a model sheet, and probably 
a little ahead of successful imitation. 
Each number of the New-Yorker contains 
eight large quarto pages, (of five columns 
each,) with Index, &c., at the close of each vol¬ 
ume — rendering it convenient for preservation and 
binding. It is published every Thursday, and 
mailed so as to reach all it subscribers on the prin¬ 
cipal mail routes in this State on that day.

MAGNIFICENT PREMIUMS! 
FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
In order to augment the circulation and consequent usefulness of the Rural New- 
Yorker, and amply reward those disposed to lend a portion of their influence in its be¬ 
half, the Proprietor offers (in addition to the very liberal per centage allowed to local 
agents and clubs,) the following 
Premiums for Subscribers to Yol. II, 1851. 
To the person or persons who shall send us the 
greatest number of yearly subscribers to the Rural 
New-Yorker from any one town, in proportion 
to its population, (according to recent U. S. Cen¬ 
sus,) between this date (December 1, 1850,) and 
the 1st of July, 1851, forwarding payment accord¬ 
ing to our club terms, WE WILL SEND THE 
NUMBER OF COPIES SO ORDERED AN- 
OTPIER YEAR, FREE OF CHARGE ! 
[The above is the most liberal premium ever 
offered by an agricultural publisher. It is also the 
most fair, because itogives an equal chance to each 
town, whatever may be its population. Is it not 
worth contending for ?] 
We also offer the following 
GRAND PRIZES! 
1st. To the person sending us the greatest number 
of yearly subscribers (six month subscriptions to be 
counted proportionally,) within the period above 
specified, and forwarding payment free of charge 
according to our club terms, we will give a Premi¬ 
um of FORTY DOLLARS in CASH ! 
2d. To the person sending the next (second) 
greatest number, within same period, and on like 
conditions, wo will give THIRTY DOLLARS, 
pavablo in PLATE, BOOKS, AGRICUL¬ 
TURAL IMPLEMENTS, or SEEDS, as may ! 
be preferred. 
3d. To the person sending the next (third) 
greatest number, as above, we will give TWENTY 
DOLLARS in Books or Implements. 
4th. To the person sending us the next (fourth) 
greatest number, as above, we will give FIFTEEN 
DOLLARS in Books or Implements. 
5th. To the person sending the next (fifth) 
greatest number, as above, we will give TEN 
DOLLARS in Books or Implements. g 
6th. To each of the four persons sending us the 
next (6th, 7th, 8th and 9th,) greatest numbers, we 
will give THREE DOLLARS in Books or Im¬ 
plements. 
[The Books to be such as may be preferred by 
the person entitled—either Agricultural, Scientific, 
Religious, School or Miscellaneous works.] 
We shall keep a correct account of the 
subscribers sent us by each person. After the 
first of March, we will publish, as often as once a 
month, until July, a list of the principal competi¬ 
tors in the order in which they may stand—giving 
the name of the person who has obtained the 
greatest number at the head, &c.,—so that all may 
know the prospect of success, and act accordingly. 
The premiums will be announced as soon after 
the 1st of July as possible—probably the second 
week. » 
Still Another Liberal Prize ! 
We will give a Premium of TEN DOLLARS 
in CASH, to the person who sends us the greatest 
number of subscribers between this date and the 
first of January ensuing. 
JDgT’ Persons competing for this Premium must 
mail their remittances on or before the 31st of De¬ 
cember. They will likewise bear iu mind that the 
person who obtains it may also secure both the 
Town and Forty Dollar Premiums ! 
To those who do not compete for the preceding, 
we offer the following 
SPECIFIC PREMIUMS: 
For a remittance of $2, previous to the first of 
March next, we will send the New-Yorker one 
year, and the Genesee Farmer for 1848 or 1849, 
(as preferred) stitched and bound in colored paper, 
suitable for mailing. For $5, as above, we will 
send three copies of the New-Yorker one year, and 
bound volumes of the Farmer for 1848 and 1849. 
For $15 we will send 10 copies of the New-York¬ 
er—and an extra copy, and any three volumes of 
the Farmer published in octavo form, [except tho 
present one,]—or [instead of extra copy and Far¬ 
mers] $2 in Books. For $25 or more we will 
send 20 copies of the New-Yorker—and an extra 
copy, and five volumes of the Genesee Farmer, 
from 1845 to 1849, inclusive, [being all the vols. 
published in octavo form, except the present]—or 
[instead of extra copy] $2 in agricultural or other 
Books. Competitors for these premiums 
must mention the fact and designate what they 
want, in the letter containing remittance—when 
the premium selected will oe immediately for¬ 
warded. 
In order that Post-Masters, Local Agents 
and others may have a fair and equal chance to ob¬ 
tain the Premiums, neither traveling agents, post¬ 
riders, residents of Rochester nor city booksellers 
are included in our offer. [We may offer other 
prizes to persons here excluded.] 
The undersigned was the first agricultural pub¬ 
lisher who offered premiums iu this manner—and 
the same course having since been adopted and 
continued by many of his cotemporaries, is con¬ 
clusive evidence of its utility iu compensating to 
some extent the friends of agricultural publications 
for their generous and valuable assistance. And, 
without claiming any patent-right, he will endeavor 
to keep in advance of all others, by offering the 
! most liberal and valuable premiums. After perus¬ 
ing the above, and considering the limited age and 
circulation of the New-Yorker in comparison with 
the long established monthly agricultural papers, 
those interested will see at a glance that our propo¬ 
sition is decidedly the most liberal yet offered. 
Specimen numbers. Prospectuses, &c., 
furnished free to all competitors or others who may 
be disposed to lend their kind offices in behalf of 
the Rural New-Yorker.
