A Law Higher than the Constitution.

AT last the law higher than the Constitu-
ton hns been discovered and announced, and
by Southerner:
Mr.. Davis of Miss, declared that no Ameri-
can could be induced to draw his sword upon
his brother. The patriot, Gen. Scott, would
break his sword n thousand times before he
would draw it against his brethren of Texas
This was the feeling of the army generally.
He referred TO the notification war, remark
ing that he was then in the army, and among
those who anticipated being ordered to
Charleston, and much as he then valued his
commission, much us he desired to remain in
the army, that commission would have been
torn in tatters the moment he was ordered
to pull trigger upon South Carolnian.
OF course the refusal TO "obey orders u
would be directed by higher law than the
constitution. We wonder that Messrs. FoOte
aud Pratt did not seize this occasion to re-
deem their pledge to expel the first persons
who should utter such a sentiment.
The soldier, who, when ordered TO fire
should attempt such resignation of func-
tions, as the Mississippian speaks of would
be shot as deserter; and MIR. Davis, if he
had postponed his withdrawal from the ar
my, in notification times, till "he was Or
dered to pull trigger" would have been very
summarily disposed Of at drum-head court
martial. The commander-in-chief of the
army in those days was one Andrew jack
son Albany Atlas.

Free Schools. Slavery.

A Virginia friend, who writes at somc
length TO controvert remark in our letter
of last June from Virginia, that Slavery waa
the cause of her declining power and thrift,
insists that the true cause of her reuogfade
career is as follows:
"Let me whisper that something--no
proclaim il! 1t is UNIVERSAL EDUoAToN.--
Free SchOols-mental cultivation Of all the
men, women, especially the children, more
than the cultivation of Gold and Iron mines
or Tobacco fields-Lis is what we want
o, how badly do we want them II ~ more
than want-it lisa sine qua non for tho Corn
monweulih of Virginia"
Here is a distinction without differ
ence. Free Schools, or Common Schools
of any kind, cannot flourish with Slavery
You may have them in cities and large vii
lagos, but not throughout State like Vlr-
ginia. The farms nre, too large, the wastes
100 extensive, the (white) children too widely
scattered. Besides, the Poor lack the con-
sideration and the spirit, the admitiOn and
the energy, which is requisite to general
maintenance of and attendance upon Com
mon Schools. Never will Virginia's White
children be generally schooled until her
Black ones shall cease to be sold: Our
friend may be sure of this.-.M " Tribune,

SLAVE BREEDING.-We recollect, fact
stated in our hearing few years since, by
minister, who had just returned from jour
new in Virginia and North Carolina. AT a
public house where he stopped, he found the
iandlady quite sociable and communicative,
and, in the course of their conversation she
took him to yard in the rear of the house,
TO show him her "young niggers." AT the
sound of a whistle, Ia sign for feeding they
all came running to her, some twenty-five in
number, stark naked, of both sexes, and OF
various ages from one year old to five or six.
To the inquiry, how she became possessed
of 30 many, she said they were the children
of valuable house slaves and body servants,
whose extra services, il relieved of the care
OF the children would be worth more to their
owners than the value of the children. In
such cases she was able to obtain the child
rem as gift, or for some comparatively tri-
fling consideration, and, in this way she had
for many years, been able to obtain from the
country about her, large numbers, which she
reared at trifing expense, till they became
of saleable size, when she sent them into the
market She did not appear to feel that there
was any thing dsreputable in the business,
but prided herself upon it.-MasS Spy.

LATE FROM CALIFORNIA.

The steamer Crescent -Cay, from Chseres, ar
rived at New York on Saturday afternoon. She
brings the mails from California and a number of
passengers.
The dates from California are of the goth April
IL is reported that several new diggings have been
discovered in Placerville, where the laborers get
one pound of gold day. They are said to be
the richest mines yet discovered. 1t is also re-
ported that new and important discoveries have
also been made on Trinity river, which are being
carefully explored
At San Francisco, lumber and provisions were
very low, and the frame houses taken out in sail
ing vessels would hardly sell for the cost of the
freight. A quarantine law has been passed by
the Legislature for the port of San Francisco,
which is pronounced infamous and, if enforced,
it is said that it will crush the commercial pros
perity of that city. Col Jack Hays has been
elected Sheriff of San Francisco county
Sacramento city has been again overfowed,
this inundation doing more damage even than the
last one II has also suffered from fire, the loss
by which amounts to $4,000.
During the early portion Of the month the an
nounoement of the discovery of Trinidad bay, and
a safe harbor between this port and the Columbia,
created much excitement. The bay has been dis
covered, landing effected, and, according to our
latest accounts, several Furnishing towns are
sprnging up upon the banks of the new bay 1t
is thought that this spot will be only second to
the port of San Francisco, and will prove of the
utmost advantage, as an easy and speedy mode of
communication with the northern mines From
ell we can learn, it Is not a safe harbor at all
times- and our knowledge Of the iocah ~ as yet
80 imperfect that We cannot express decided
opinion upon its advantages.
The mines have continued to be exceedingly
productive wherever they have worked, and eI-
traordinary yields have rewarded the tolls of

Is THIS NEUTRALITY ?
We call attention to the following


From The National Laeliigncer.
Major Il. s. NEIeHBoRs, the Commissioner sent
by Texas to hiring New Mexico under the au-
thority Of that State writes follows to the
Western Tsr0n, paper published at San Antonio
de Bexar, under date of
"DoNA ANA, March "a, 1850.
{" nave no doubt you will be pleased to learn
that / have been successful in organizing this
county, (El Paso) The election went off in fine,
style on the 4th day of March, and at several of
the precincts especially at this town, we had splen-
did balls in honor of the extension of civil law
This is fine county, and has some five thousand
inhabitants The county gave seven hundred
and sixty votes, all of which were for Austin, ex-
cept three for Huntsville, and one for San Antonio
and will poll over one thousand votes at the next
election. find no opposition here on the part Of
the United States authorities. Col MUNRoE has
issued orders to all the troops to sustain the laws
of Texas, as soon as they are extended. | cannot
tell how far shall succeed in my mission find
my means very inadequaten
1t appears by the foregoing that the county
of FL Paso, at least, has been organized under
Texan auspices. Major NRIeHRORs left Dona
Ana on the 2Sth Of March for Santa Fe in COM
pany with Major HENRY, u. s. Army, and an es-
cort. He did not seem to be certain in the sue
cess of his mission to that country.
The conduct of the Administration in this mat
ter is inexcusabe. First, it issues orders to the
United States military officers in New Mexico to
offer no resistance to the usurpations of the Tex.
ans, and now we see Col Munroe sustaining
these usurpations lie has doubtless received
his orders from Mr.. Secretary Crawford, of Gal
phin memory.
No wonder Mr. Burt of South Carolina should
be so warm in his praise Of the Secretary.
