Ya se hiibia recibido en Méjico la noticia de
que la expedición filibustera t*e apoderó de la
Paz, y proclamó ia independencia de la Baja
California, en los término,-* que y* hemos comunicado a nuestros lectores, FI general Santa
Ana ten i ¡i conocimiento ojtaeto de cuanto pasa
baen California, é biso oportunas reclamaciones al gobierno de loe listados Unidos para que
impidiese que sus oíudadünos perpetrasen el
premeditado crimen. Las órdenes que de Washington se dieron a las autoridades de San
Francisco con este objeto fueron desatendidas,
y el atentado se consumó a despecho del tratado
do amistad celebrado entre ambos países y do
los principios del derecho de gentes
Tanto Méjico como los listados Unidos han
sido ofendidos por aquellos aventureros, yambos
deberían unirse para castigarlos y poner término al espíritu de agrecion creciente que te
desarrolla en este continente. Cuando la independencia y la paz internacional nose con-ñde
ran seguras, aun observando una conducta leal
y circunspeta, cual conviene a naciones cifili
zadas y cristianas, ¿cou que confianza se recibi
ran las promesas amistosas de la República del
Norte, ni qué especie de fé puede tenerse en
*us tratados? Mejico, después del convenio de
Guadalupe Hidalgo, por medio del cual se pro
puso conseguir una paz duradera al precio de
los mas grandes sacrificios, ha visto constante
mente amenazadas sus fronteras por partidas
de aventureros organizadas en territorio americano y bajo el amparo de las leyes de e-te pais.
Una vez y otra ve/ ha rechazado fuerzas inva
goras, y loa filibusteros volviao al territorio de
la Union, no para ser escarmentados por la
violación de las leyes del pais, sino para evitar
la persecución, rehacerse y volver á invadir la
república vecina" Carvajal y sus secuaces viven
tranquilos en las riberas do Rio Orando, a la
vista de los pueblos que han sido víctimas de sus
atentados criminales; y si no han repetido sus
ataques filibusteros en el territorio mejicano,
es porque temen la actitud armada en que se
mantiene aquella frontera, coa gran sacrificio
del gobierno dc aquel país.
Tor ht parte de Nuevo Méjico no ha sido
menor el peligro en que se ha visto constantemente la integridad de aquella República, Si
el exgobernador Lane no hubiera encontrado
fuerzas dispuestas a rechazar su invacion. el
vallo de la Mesilla estaría hoy de hecho incorporado al territorio angloamericano, y tal vez
los dos paises citarían a estas horas empeñados
en una nueva guerra desastrosa.
Pero no era posible que Mejico mantuviese
un ejército en todas sus fronteras. Despedazado
por U guerra civil; desrnenbrado de sus mas
ricas posesiones; amenazado por la guerra
constante do los salvajes; empeña fo en fin en
Ja obra de la reorganización nacional para res
tablecer su crédito exterior y el orden en el interior, sus recursos no han sido suficientes para
tanto. La Baja California, que es un territorio
comparativamente despoblado y separado de los
demás Estados por grandes desiertos estaba
por consiguiente sin defensa, y de esta ci'-cuns-
tancia se bao valido los filibusteros angloamericanos para atacar por aquell-a parte a la República vecina, sin respeto a las leyes ni a los
compromisos so'euines de su gobierno.
La primera intentona ha debido ser, por
consiguiente, favorable a los aventureros, y
aunque sea dilicíl atacarlos por la dí--tancia a
que se encuontran del centro y de los recursos
del gobierno, serán en fin castigado* por las
autorblades del país cuyo territorio han violado
ya que no hay qua esperar quo lo sean por las
que obran en nombre del gobierno del pais
agresor. Tal es por lo menos la resolucío del
general Santa Ana, como se deduce del artículo
de fondo publicado sobre este asuntoen el periódico oficial el 10 de noviembre pasado. Para
conoeirnieuto de nuestros lectores lo insertamos
a continuación.  Dice así:
.*'• Un suceso importante reclama boy toda la
atención de la república. -El puerto de la Paz
ha sído ocupado por fuerzas salidas del do San
Francisco de California, doblando el cabo de
San Lúeas, y apresando en la travesía al buque que conducía al Sr, coronel Don Climaco
Rebolledo, comandante militar nombrado para
la Baja California. Lo fue igualmente el Sr,
D. Rafael Espinosa en su propia casa, luego
que desembarcó la gerjtc que a bordo llevaron
los buques nombrados Carolina y Arroto. La
seguridad con que se presentaron para lo^'njr
su sorpresa, fue el pabellón nacional que lleva-
han al atravesar el pacifico, desde su marcha
do san Francisoo, y do.i le Gaicaparon sacando
todos los documentos debidos como conductores
be pasajeros para Guaymas.
•• Oportunamente, y desde que se proyectaba
tan criminal expedición, el supremo gobierno
lo supo y no perdonó medio ni perdió tiempo
par-i impedirla. Debia poner en conocimiento
de la Union Americana la existencia de esa
conspiración, y justificarla con datos que no de"
jaran la menor duda ; porque siempre ha esperado   que esc gobierim fiel a los deberes que le
ente a las expresas reglas del último tratado
que debe ligar a ambaa naciones con los vínculos do la mas leal fraternidad, y con el amparo
de la mas sincera amistad, antes que todo im
pedirin una agresión que nada puede disculpar
como opuesta y contraria a todo derecho, hasta
cl terminante compromiso contraído el 2 de fe.
brerode 1848.
" Bien instruido el supremo magistrado de
la república de que algunos subditos dc los E,
tados UnidoaS proyectaban invadir el rico suelo
de Sonora; cierto deque se aprestaban los medios
positivos para una empresa decisiva; sabedor
aun de los nombres de los que como autores de
la intentona se hallaban al frente para dirijír
lo conveniente al logro de la inicua combinad
on; no ignorando, en Su, ni Jos medios, arbitri
os y elementos que se designaban y aprestaban'
lo puso todo en conocimiento de tas autoridades
de esa nación, que con tales datos no podia sin
una violación tremenda de todo derecho, descu1
dar, ni en un punto ni en tiempo alguno imre
dir el movimiento, un el estado en que estubie
ra, hr'ge que fuera convenientemente instruida.
El conato en ya eficaz, y merecía no solo ser
reprimido, sino muy severamente castigado eo
mo un positivo crimen, en cuya represión estaba interesado el nombre y prohibidad del ga
bínete americano.
" No bastaba esto ; era preciso y sobre toda
consideración instruir sin embozo a la respecti
va autoridad en San Francisco para que a su
vez tomara las providencias activas y conducen
tes a neutralizar esa convinacion, que apenas
realizada, seria un argumento de muy difícil
solución contra la lealtad y armonía que núes
tros vecin -.s tienen prometida a Méjico : y no
solo su felicidad era objeto dol supremo gobierno, sino también la misma nombradla de los
Estados Unidos. El supremo gobierno, pues,
muy Oportunamente pnvíó las instrucciones é
informes a su ministro en Washington y al de
este gabinete aquí, y a cuyos avisos se debe que
fuese detenida la goleta inglesa Arrow, uno de
los buques que formaban la vanguardia quizá
de la expedición sobre Sonora, y el apresamien
todo armas y municiones.
" Los tribunales se ocupaban en resolverlo
justo acerca de la suerte dc esta embarcación
de estos útiles de guorrr.i. ya que por desgracia
no pudo estoi baree toda la expedición.
1; Está consumado un crimen, que ambas na
eiones deben castigar, para que ni siquiera se
tenga la sospecha de abrigar un pensamiento
tie injuria contra Méjico, y para conservar in-
cóume el deposito sagrado de nuestra naciona
lidad, por el cual ningún (-echo mejicano habrá que no sienta latir con fuerza el ardor de
la mas santa dc las venganzas. El supremo go
bernador nada descuida para llenar en esta par
to tan importantes deberes ; pero todos y cada
uno de los nacionales y de cuantos tomen parte
por la causa de la justicia, cumplirán por su
parto con pagar el tributo de sus nobles sacri
ficios."
La prensado Nueva Orleans, refiriéndose a
noticias que dice haber recibido de Méjico has
ta el 23 de noviembre, anuncia que el general
Santa Anna ha sido proclamado .Dictador por
diez años por iodos los departamentos, con es
oepcionde uno que opinó por la Dictadura vita
lieja. En los periódicos de Méjico que hemos
recibido,aunque no de fecha tan reciente.solo en
contramos un párrafo que publica el Universal,
bajo el t=\tulo de "Noticia interesante," que di
ce asi :
" Ayer ha corrido en esta capital la voz de
haberse recibido de Guanajuato un despacho te
legrafioo, eu el que se noticia que las autoridades y vecinos de Guadalajara y otros puntos
han declarado que es voluntad nacional el que
el .Exorno. Si-, presidente de la República, general de division y benemérito de la patria don
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, continúe con
las facultados extraordinarias de que hoy se
encuentra investido por todo el tiempo que en
concepto de S. E. fuere necesario para consolidar el orden público, difiriéndose en consecuen
cia la convocatoria del Congreso, según lo previno el plan de Jalisco, reformado por los conve
nios del 9 de febrero. Dicese asimismo que en
la exposición de Guadalajara se atiende a la
manera de asegurar el poder público, en el caso de un desgraciado evento en la persona del
supremo magistrado de la nación ; y por último, se pide que se haga efectivo el decreto que
creó una capitanía general en el ejército, cuyo
alto empleo servirá el mismo Sr. Santa Anna."
Se dice también de Nueva Orleans, que la
dictadura no era mas que el paso previo para
el Imperio; y que a consecuencia de la invasion filibustera, el general Santa Anna se procla
maria Emperador el 12 de diciembre. Tantas
veces sa ha anunciado este acontecimiento en
los periódicos de Nueva Orleans, que no cree,
moa necesario detenernos a discurrir sobre el
asunto.
El gobierno habia aprobado el proyecto presentado por el cuerpo de ingenieros para la
construcion de un panteón nacional, cuartel de
inválidos, reforma del edificio conocido coa el
nombre de Ciudadela, establecimiento do un
colegio militar,almacén de pólvora, laboratorio
de mixtos, calzada desdo el Salto de la Agua
basta encontrar el Paseo de Buoareli, destrucci
on de los arcos de Belén desde la garita de este
nombre a la caja del agua, y sustitución del
acueducto con encañadas ; construcción de tres
cuarteles, uno de caballería y dos para infantería, y un campo militar de maniobras.
Los trabaj os deben princi piar el 1 ° de enero
con el 1 por 100 al mes que se descontará de]
sueldo de todos los empleados   públicos, de cu
narán exclusivamente al complemento de estas
obras.
Parece que habla empesado a organizarse la
Orden de Guadalupe, de cuyo restablecimiento
hemos hablado hace poco En el " Siglo diez y
nueve" encontramos sobre el particular lo siguiente :
l! Segun ee dice, el Sr. general don Ni«olás
Bravo ha sido ci primer nombrado gran cruz, y
por consiguiente será cl vicepresidente y canciller de la orden ; la gran cruz se ha .concedido
ai Sr. arzobispo de Mejico, D. Lázaro de la
Gai*i:a, al Sr. obispo de uiichoacan, D.Clemente
Mangula, al Sr- aban do la Colegiata de Guadalupe, al Sr, D Agust'n de Iturbide, hijo ma
yor del Libertador, al Sr. general D. Manuel
Lombardinj, a losdosS.S generales Cervantes
Se dice que los generales de division, algunos
di los gobernadores y fia obispos comendadores
y caballeros los generales de brigada. los dea
nes de los cabildos, y los miembros del consejo
de Estado. Aun no se habla de quienes serán
pensionados.
El mismo periódico habla de rumores que
indican que el gobierno trataba de fundar una
nuevtt condecoración, semejante en su objeto y
orginiziicton a la de la Legación de Honor de
Francia.
En Zacatecas buho un encuentro entre las
tropas del g..bienio y una parlida de salvajes,
que dio por resultado la muerte de 13 de los
últimos, con el rescato del botin y prisioneros
que se habian llevado, y 4 muertos, 6 heridos
graves y 7 ligeramente por parte del gobierno.
En los demás puntos de aquellas desoladas Iron
t' ras Sontiriuaban haciendo estragos impunemente. El gobierno se ocupaba activamente
en contener este mal, y pnrece que se inclinaba
a restablecer las antiguas misiones, que tan
buenos frutos dieron en tiempo del gobierno

view ofthe transitory nature of business generally in California, and the probability that some may havcloi ked upon

it within the especial notice of all concerned, that we are

that, all who used our plows iast season lustily tbat they

A laasíete, Mrs. Ehrick hubo de paaar por
el vestíbulo do su casa, y habiendo llamado su
atención dos bultos colocados en una filia, par
cipo a su mítrido su descubrimiento, se abrieron
los bultos y ellus se encontraron varios objetos,
quese reconoció habian pertenecido al juez Be
ébe. Mr. Ehrick í-osj echó entonces algun la
zo, y recordó que L.... ea su mortal enemigo;
lo creyó capaz de todo para vendarse. Añada
se a esto que ya desde algunos dias sospechaba
que estaban en su poder los diversos artículos
robados eo casa del juez; lo que quería pues L...
era arruinar su reputación. Penetrado de esta
¡dea, Mr. Ehiick envió inmediatamente uno
de sus hermanos a cusa del juez Beebe, y otro
en busca de un agRntede policía. Al salir este
último encontró precisamente a uno de los que
estaban vigilando la casa: le explicó lo ocurrí
do, y ouando estaba hablar-do, tío al otro lado
de la calle a un hombre que trataba de ocultar
se eo la oscuridad. Dirigióse entonces hacia
él, mas al verle acercarse el personage misterio

le pudiera Yer el rostro. El agente de policía,
algo desconfiado al ver sus movimientos, se
acercó también a él y descubrió que el mismo
Mr, L.... en persona. Tanta precaución de su
parte para no ser conocido io hacían mas qce
sospechoso, y L.... fue arrestado y conducido »

Asesinato y .Suicidio. —Un sastre llamado
VV. Kirk, quo vivía cn b' calle 3. rt , fue arrestado en Nueva York el 19 d$ Diciembre por
haber cosido a puñaladas a su mujer. El cuñado
del asesine declara que hasta el mencionado dia
Kirk habia sido exelente esposo. Unos ocho
días antes, habia dado señales de enagenacion
mental. Ala una de la mañana de dicho día
se levantó y se puso a coser : dos horas después
reunió cierta cantidad de virutas debajo de la
cuma y íes dio fuego; y vi ende _ae su mujer
ahogaba las llamas con mantas de la cama,
arrojó un grito terrible, cogió a uno de sus
hijos, lo untó con confina y le dio también fuego
Sin embargo, logró otra vez su mujer apagar
las llamas que empezaban a devorar al desgraciado niño. Furioso entonces Kirk, cogió a su
mujer por el pescuezo, la tendió en el suclp y
lo infirió mas de veinte puñaladas.
Informada la policía de tan horrible escena;
se presento inmediatamente en casa de Kirk.
La desgraciada mujer fue conducida al hospital, pero hay pocas esperanzas do salvar su vida.
Con respecto al asesino, se le encerró en la
cárcel de la plaza de Essex., y el martes se le
encontró ahorcado con bu corbata,

General Ja< kson.
The fi'llowing* notice o£ General   Jackson i.s
from CoU Benton's History:
He wtis a. careful farmer, overlooking every
thing himpelí", seeing that the iieldfi and fences
were in good order, tlie ¡stock well attended,
and the slaves comfortably provided for. His
house was the seat of hospitality, tha resort of
friends and actjtiaintunces, and of all strangers
visiting the statu—and the more agreeahle to
all from the perfect conformity of Mr*. Jack
son s disposition to his own. But he needed
some excitement beyond that which a farming
life could affui-d, and found it foi eome years in
animating soovts of tlie tuvf. He lo\ed fine
horses—racers of speed and bottom — owned
several—an i contested tbe lour mile hetttswith
the be-t that could be bred, or brought to tbe
State, for large sums. That is the nearest to
gaining tbat I ovti- knew him to come. Carde
nnd tiie COOK pit have been imputed to bim.—
But most erroneously. I nevei saw him engaged in either. Duels were usual in tbat
time, and be bad his fhareof them, with tbeir
tbeir unpleasant concomitants ; but thev pasa
ed a/my with all tlieir ¡mimosities, and he has
often been ¡-een pressing the advancement of
those whom he bad but lately beet- arrayed in
deadly hostility. His temper placable as well as
inmiscible, and his reconciliations were e.irdial
ariii sincere. Of that my own ens was a signal instance. There was a deep seated vein of
piety in him, ntinifcctcdly showing itself in
liis reverence for divine worship his respect
for ministers of the Gospel, (heir hospitable re
P'luments to be made tit advance in all cases.

repn-l-ai
ceptitm in his bouse, and c .ti^tant encouragement oí' ¡ill tin? pious terxknciG oí Mrs Jackson. And when they both afterwards became
members of the chinch, it was the natural and
egular resales of tbeir eariy and eberisbe¿
feelittps. He was g-entle in bis house, and -live
1'ü th? í^nderest 6tó@ÍÍ«haJ -and of this I enn
give an infancy greatly in eontrast with liis
(■upposed chai a-eter, and worth more than a
long discours'j in showing what that character
realty was.
1 arrived at his house one wet, chilly tven-
ing in February, ana came upon him in the
twilight, sitting alone before the lire a lamb
and a eí'ü'i between his knees. He started a
little, callea ;l servant to remove the two innocents an another ri;<-ui, and explained to me
how it was. 1 he child had cried because the
lamb was out in the cold, and ¡¿R^ged him to
bring it in, which he had done to p.'eaee the
child—his adopted son, then n*it two years
old. Tbe ferocious man does not do that; and
though Jackson hud his passions and his vio
lences, they were for men and enemies—those
who stood up against him—and not for women
and children, or the weak and helpie.s*. for all
whom his feelings were those of protect» n and
support Mis hospitality was active as well m
cordial, embracing the worthy in every walk i,f
life, and seeking out worthy objects to receive
it, no matter how obscure Of thi* I learned
a characteristic instance in relation to the son
of the late famous/Jnniel Boone. Tho young
man had come to Nashville on his father's
b isiness. to be detained ■so.iie weeks, and had
his lodgings at a small tavern in tlie lower part
of the town. Señera! Jackson heard of it,
sought him out, found him, took him home to
remain as long as his business detained him in
the country, saying,
'Your father's dog should not stay in a tavern while I have a house.''
This was heart! and I had it from the young
man himself long after, when he was a State
Senator of the General Assembly of Missouri,
and as such nominated me for the United S.
Senate at my fiist election in 1S20 Hie name
was Benton J3oone. and so named after my
father.
Abhorrence of debt, public and private, dislike of banks, a d love of hard money, love of
justice, and love of country, were ruling passions with Jackson ; and the-e he gave constant
evidences in all the situations of life. Of pii
vate debts he contracted none of his own, and
made any sacrifice to get out of those incurred
for others. Of this he gi'-e a signal instance
not long before the war of 1812—selling the
improved part his estate, with the best build
ings ¡n the country upon it, to pay a debt in
cum d in a mercantile adventure to assist a
young relative, and going into log houses in
the forest part to begin a new home and a farm.
He was ¡rtiached to his friends and to his coun
try. and i.ever believed anything to the dis
credit of either until compelled by proof. He
would not believe in the first report of the surrender of General Hull, and became sad and
oppressed when forced to believe it. ile never
gave un a friend in a doubtful case, or from
policy or calculation. He was a firm believer
in the goodness of superintending Providence,
and in the eventful right and justice of the
people. I have seen him at the most desperate
part of his fortunes, and never saw him waver
in the belief that it would come right in the
end. In the time of Cromwell he would have
been a Puntan.
The '¡laraeter of bis mind \va3 that of
judgment, with a rapid and almost intuitive
perception, followed by instant and decisive ac
tion. lt was that made him a General and
a President for the times in which he served
He had vigorous thoughts, but not the faculty
in arranging them in a regular composition,
either Sfrittenor spoken, and in formal papers
usually gave his manuscript to an aid, a friend,
or a Secretary, to be written over—to the lus»
of vigor. But the thoughts were his own vigorously es Dressed, and withe ut effort, writing
with a rapid pen, nd never blotting or altering; but as Curly le says of Cromwell, hitting
the nail upon the head as lit went. I have a
great deal of his writing pow, some un public
affairs, covering several sheets of paper, and no
erasures or in ter I ¡neat ions anywhere His
Conversation was like his writing, n yigcrous
flowing current, apparently without any trou
ble of thinking, and always impressive. His
conclusions were rapid and immovable, when
he was under strong convictions, though often
yielding in minor points to his friends. And
uo ooeyieided quicker when he was convinced ;
perfectly illustrating the difference between
firmness ¡*nd obstinancy Of all the /'residents
who have done me the honor of listening to
my opinions, there was do one Uj whom I spoke
with more confidence whon 1 felt myself   to be
in the right.
He had a load to carry all his 'ifc, resulting
from a temper which refused compromise and
bargains, and went for a clean victory, ora
clean defeat, in every case. Hence every step
he took was a contest, and it may be added,
every contest was a victory, I nave already
said that lie was elected a Major General in
Tennessee—an election on which eo much af
terwards depended —by one vote. His appointment in the United States regular army
was aconquest from tbe Administration, which
had twice refused to appoint him a Brigadier,
and at • nee disbanded him asa volunteer Gen.,
and yielded to his military vie lories. Ilis
election as President was a victory over politi
cians— as was every leading event of his administrate n.
The Tomb of Milton. Two minutes
scarcely elapsed after I rang the secton's bell
at St. Gile's Church, Cripplegaie, before that
personage m-hered me urbanely info the aisle.
The roof of the building is modern, but the
dart carvings on the pulpit and choir indicate
an age of two centuries. 1 stood at the altar
were > romwell and Ben. Johnson were married * marked the pavement beneath my feet
where Fox, the author of the " Book of Martyrs," is buried , and read the inscription on
the Lucy vault—a family satyr i zed in the
character of Shallow, and which incarnates
for everlasting ridicule the sapient justice who
would have proved Shnkspeare a deer stealer.
1 examined the quaint old tomb of the historian Speede ; and, from a window, looked upor
a fragment of the Reman wall —Ihe greatest
antiquity of London, hard by the venerable
Ct ijplegate
Over against a pew a familiar bust marks
the spot beneath which are tbe mortal remains
of Milton; and its epitaph is grand in its
simplicity—"The author of Paradise lost."—
He and his father before him were intendants
of the church. How sublime to the imagina
tion is this otherwise not remarkable temple
where that bei.utiful head w s bowed in prayer! 1 recalled his image as it lay in youthful
beauty, one summsr afternoon, on the green
sward, under the classic trees of the cohere
lawn, when a fair lady hung entranced above
the sleeper, and left a scroll in his nerveless
hand. 1 saw him in his prime conversing with
Galileo, and looking forth, with alia poet's
r ipture upon Val D'Arno from the wooded
summit ot Fiesole. I beheld him when time
had silvered his flowing hair, with sightless
orbs uplifted, as his fingers ran over the organ
keys, and the calm devotion softened the lines
of cure   and   grief   in Lhat   majestic   counte-
Tbe picture he bequeathed of K.den, fragrant
and dewy as cr ation's morning, the forlorn
glory of ."-atari and the solemn cadence of the
verse that embalmed, ¡n perpetual music, the
story of "man's first disobedience," became
vividly back upon my heart beside his tepid
chre, Stern Cromwell's rugged visage grev
mild as his marriage response woke again from
the ei'ence of yeais. and blithfly sounded the
footsteps of rare old Ben., as he walked again,
with his beloved, in my vision, up that solitary nave. What a changed aspect bears the
world since Roger Williams talked with Milton
of the prospects of religious liberty in America,
and the latter plead for the freedom of the
j ress: and jut,with all tiie triumphs of science,
the revelations of the bard have not- list a single ray of their spiritual beauty ; his " high
argument" remains in all its original significance ; his intact career unwavering faith, and
sustained elevation, reproach the sordid and
win the brave forever—fjKuckerman.
Validity of School Laud Warrants. Col.
Gift, Register of the Land Office, at Benicia.
has written a letter, says the Stockton Journal,
to Mr. Sherin, of that city in re atiun to the
validity of School Land Warrants, when they
conflict with a regular pre-emption claim. Bv
reference to tlie declaration, it will be seen
that the warrant must yield when a pro-emp
tor locates his claim. Wc give the letter :
Register's Office, )
Benicia, Jan. 25th 1854. j
Thos. Sufrís, Sir— 1 am in the receipt of
your letter Jan 21st, in regard to the warrants
The laws have been all published, in relation
to the claims of men holding lands, by virtue
of school warrants; and it is plain that no
man can hold land, and deprive men from
pie empting government lands. Special instructions have been received at this > fliee,
saying lhat the warrant cannot b". located until the lands have been surveyed, and such
surveys returned to this ofEce. If they do eject
the pre-emptor by law, it will only be a temporary thing, for 1 will get copies of the pro
ceedings and send them to Washin »t' n imme
diately, in a few days the opinion of tlie
Attorney General will be published, in relation
to the location of these warrants, which will
satisfy all men holding under the School Land
Law in relation to their claims. IVe-emptors
will save and bold their chums if they only
comply with the law in regard to pre emption.
Yours, VV   VV.Sift,
Register Land Ofiice.

The History of   One (Hat.a ot   Wtne.
We find id Harper's Magazine an interesting history of the birth, parentage, and tise to
power of tlie present limperor of France. Included in that article, we also find the history
of "one glass of wine," as follows :
"But there is another party who repudiate
theclaims ot /íourbon, arid espouse the cause of
the Orleans branch of the family. The Duke
t f Orleans, the eldest son of King Louis I'hil-
lippe, was th. inheritor of whatever right hia
royal father could transmit. He was a noble
young man-physically and intellectually r.oble.
His generous qualities had rendered him universally popular. One morning he invited a
few companions to breakfast with him, ns ho
was about to take hia departure from Paris to
join his regiment. In the conviviality of the
hour he drank a little too much wine, lie did
not become intoxicated. He was not in any
respect a dissipated man. His character waa
lofty and noble. But in that joyous hour, he
drank a glass too much. He slightly lost the
balance of his body, and his mind. Bidding
adieu to his companions, he entered his carriage. But for tbat extra glass of wine, ho
would have kept his seat. He leaped from tho
carriage. But for that extra glass he would
have alighted on his feet. His head first struck
the pavement. Senseless and bleeding, he was
taken into a beer shop ai d died. That extra
glass of wine ovetthew^tho Orleans dynasty,
confiscated their property of one hundred millions of dollars, and sent the whole familv into
exile."
California Land Claims. A letter from
New York contains the following interesting
paragraph :
'• It may be considered certain that at least
two of your great land eases —the Cruz Cervantes and the Kaadiog— will be taken up by tho
¡Supreme Court, and acted upon during the
present term. attorney General Cushing is
exerting his influence with the Judges to take
them up in place of some other United .States
causes that are earlier em the calendar ; but tho
Judges insist on hearing every law or ordinance that has reference to or bearing upon
California land claims, and which can be found
in the city of Mexico, before proceeding to
hear the causes in question. It is pr b.-ible
that Mr. Jos. Wilson, the brother of the Com-
mi.-sionner of the General Land Office, will be
immediately despatched to ./Mexico to procure
the required documents; und it is expected
that he wilt be able to r:turn in time for the
argument during the ] resent tei m. This is a
matter of great importance to you. if, a- s
understood here, the decision of these two eases
will constitute the basin of settlement ior the
greater part of yourdisputed land claims.
A/oiie Troth than Pof.trv.     A gentleman
writing from San Francisco to the Missouri
Republican, speaking of those who should, and
those who should not come to California, makes
the following remarks, which contain, to our
mind, more real truth than is usually contained
in the productions of letter writers. We have
«een this matter illustrated :
There is another class of young men that
often come to California, who, though of no
particular account at hi me or abroad, mighfas
well come on. I mean the wild and dissipated
sons of rich lathers and hopeful mother», sent
here for reformation. There is a wide field for
this kind of genius, a sphere wide enough and
deep enough for the discipline of every had
habit, and for tho use of every spare dollar.—
Thers are plenty of sharp, free and easy gents
for instructors to the uninitiated, and numerous
schools for exercise. They cm be brought to
a miserable end faster, quicker and more certainly here than in any other country under
heaven.
Sinope, the Coast of BoN'its, in Asia Minor,
The following notice of Sinope, where the recent battle was fought between the Turks un*'
Russians, will, at the present moment, be read
with interest:
"The temples, palaces, and porticos, erected
hy a powerful line of kings, have been levelled
with the dust. Nought remains of so much
magnificence save a dirty, oriental town of a
' ousand wretched houses, surrounded by
crumbling walls and tottering towers, of Byzantine construction. Almost equally a wreck
is the enormous bull ofthe embryo two decker,
which stands unhiunehed on the steicks : built
here where timber and work are cheap ; never
finished j  allowed to rot.     Alas for Sinope."

Mr. Weller said that Colonels on the frontier
