THE COUNTRY ON TUEARE LAKE.--New Cereal Grains-A FieH for the future- A gentleman just down from the Mariposa, states that on entering the San Joaquin Val ey, from Los Angeles, in September last, he passed along the eastern banks of Tulare Lake, by route not travelled previously to that time. He found large and flowing streams emptying into the lake from the east, and numerous we'll disposed Indians with their focks of cattle and horses. The most singular objects that met his eye, were several varieties of grain which he believes never to have been met with before. One of these resembled barley, and grew in vast quantities, often covering areas of thousands ot acres. Another variety was smaller, like millet, but no less beautiful. But the most singular variety of them all, and equally abundant, was what our informant termed popcorn. He stated that the natives cut and threshed out large quantities of this, which he supposed they lay up in store. This grain they "parch" like popcorn. The whole region, from arKing's River to the extreme head to the valley of San Joaquin, within less than 60 miles of Los Angelos, is no doubt one of much fertility; and by way of this lake is the entire south of this State to find its shortest and most favorable access to the great commercial capital.

AS Judge Wood declined to answer any ques.
tions before his nomination, as his nomination
was probably secured in consequence Of this
silence, as the Convention that selected him as
the candidate refused TO recognise the Wilmot
Proviso, or to affirm that their resolutions embod-
led the principle of that measure il cannot be ex-
pected that he will now take position different
from that of the body which put him in nomina-
ton. The Free Democrats therefore, have a
plain path before them. Their distinctive prin-
ciples have been repudated by the Convention of
the sth of January and the candidate Of that
body, whatever his private opinions, is bound by
the views Of those who nominated him. To sup
port him, under such circumstances, will be to
support the policy of that Convention. To vote
for him will be to disregard the policy of the Or
dinance of 1857, for the purpose of suhjectng the
State of Ohio TO Hunkerism
We do not believe the Free Democrats will so
far forget what is due to their cause, their coun-
try, themselves, as to do any such thing.
We shall soon zee what construction the Demo-
cratic members from Ohio, in Congress, will put
upon the action of the sth of January Some, we
