Ruins of an, Ancient California Cit

Ruins of an Ancient California City.
-Antiquarians will feel deeply interested
IN the discovery of vast regions of ancient
ruins near San Diego, and within days
march of the Pacific ocean, at the head of
the Gulf of California. Portions of tenn
pies, dwellings, lofty stone pyramids,
(seven of these within mile square) and
massive granite rings or circular walls,
round venerable trees, columns and blocks
of hieroglyphics-all speak of some an
cient race of men, now forever gone, their
history actually unknown to and of the
existing families of mankind. In some
points these ruins resemble the recently
discovered cities of Palenque, &c. near
the Atlantic or Mexican Gulf coast; in
others, the ruins Of ancient Egypt; in 9TH
ers again, the monuments of Phenicia,
and yet in many features they differ from
that | have referred to. / observe that
the discoverers deem them to be ante -di-
luvian. while the present Indians have a
tradition of great civilized nation, which
their ferocious forefathers utterly destroy
ed. The region of the ruins is called by
the Indians, "The Valley of Mystery. =

Progress of Reform in Turkey.

A letter from Beyworth, dated April
l6, gives the following gratifying account
of the progress of reform in Turkey:
"One of the most important events in
the history Of this country has just taken
place, by the issue of frman, which, by
its future consequences, will secure the
comfort and independence of its people,
and be hailed as blessing by the country
at large. The firman entities the present
occupants of land to become proprietors,
subject only to tithe or tenth of taxes,
and not liable to any other but the ordina-
ry and moderate tax called the Tirdi and
capitatiou tax. 1t was by a master stroke
of policy, similar to this now adopted
that Baldwin the First proved the bene.
factor of Palestine, and saved Jerusalem
from the ruin which al that time threat
ened its impoverished people. A irman
of similar character, In its general a2
plica ton, is in progress of PREPARATION
Another important measure under contem
plation is the building of bridges, quays
public institutions, &C., and the better
conduct of the application of convict labor
the results are certain, and were the Turk
ish authorities not hampered and intimi.
dated by officious officials, matters would
be far better, and Turkey and her people
would be more at ease more quiet and
peaceable, and she would long since have
improved her position as a nation. Reli.
gion is now fully tolerated throughout
Syria, and, happily, neither missionaries
nor people can complain of persecution y

The Democrat, last week, devoted considera-
bic space 10 what we suppose was intended as
reply to what we said in the Recorder of the
week preceding. We have read Ii through, but
do not see in it any thing which requires notice.
He evinccs disposition to rersevere in his un-
just insinuaiion, and uses style Of language en-
tiely inconsistent with his professions Of res
pect. The remark, in our last notice Of the De-
mocrat, that to enter into controversy with The
editor would be casting pearls before swine as
far as he was concerned" seems TO be more liter
ally applicable than we intended il. Instead Of
insenuous'y acknov le ling bis mistake when we
had proved it, and thus showing that it was not
an intentional misrepresentation, he persists in
maintaining his former position, and bespatters
us plcntifully with dirt. The editor Is welcome
to oil the laurels he can gain in such contest,
We have no ambition to enter the list as COM
peiitor.
