And sleeps in cheeks where mornings blush Is oreaHln
And song, that on the sweet lip nesting lies;
And beauty's look that in thy look is waking;
If ,hese-al these, could find the soul a tongue
To thrill the list'ning heart as thou hast thriirdit
Then would the wide world hang upon my song,
And bless the beauty that had flushed. had hileo II.

Whose laughter lifts he dark lash dropped before it,

Thine is the praise would stir the soul 10 strife

between the squatters and landholders:
Oh BOARD STEAMER SENATOR,
ArGusT Ia, lS50-P. NJ.
NV Dear Sir: l am now on my way TO Benicia, 10 solicit
Of Gen. Smith the aid of his troops to que!l a large lawless
mob, who are now threatening the destruction of the lives
and property of the citizens of Sacramento city; and, as tho
steamer leaves for Panama Tomorrow, | avail myself OF the
opportunity of a friend, who is going to the States, 10 write,
and give you the details OF the horrible massacre that Is now
going on in that city. 81,
For some time past the s9uatters have taken possession Of
a large portion Of the town lois belonging 10 various per-
sons, who had bought and paid for the property, and the ex-
citcInent consequent thereon has been increasing gradually,
and to-day the crisis broke forth. Some two days since q
large meeting OF the squatters took place, and they resolved
that as the State was not admitted the laws created by the
Legislature were Of no force, and that they would resist un-
til dealt any mandate coming from any of our courts. On
Yesterday the Sheriff elected some of them from the proper
~ of Mr.. Rodgers, and several resisted his authority; Two
of them were brought before the county Judge for thus acting,
and were committed 10 Jail or prison ship. This morning
they organized TO the number oi one or two hundred, who
had muskets and small arms, and aided by a large number
ready to assist them, all armed. They marched through the
streets in regular military style, their lender on horseback, with
sword. went to several places from which they had been re-
Gently electcd, and took possession; and then wendcd their
way TO the plison-ship, 10 release the Two Of their number
that were imprisoned on yesterday. When near the ship
thew were me; BY the Mayor ~(Bigelow) who was on horse
back, endeavoring TO rally a posse 10 dlsperse them. AT this
instant a general firing commenced; the firing became gen
eral in |. K, and 4th streets, the citizens running 10 and fro
in every direction. The Sheriff, q noble fellow, mounted his
horse and did all in his power to assemble a posse; but the
panic was too great; none were prepared ior What haa come
upon them. I did all could to assemble . force, and before
