ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-A countryman named

disposed Of the former at Alexandria and was pro-

rived at Four Mile Run, he was overtaken by two
individuals on horseback, who hailed him by name,
and asked him to stop, which he did. On coming
up to him both of the individuals dismounted, and
one fthem Immediately stepped forth and knocked
| the countryman down, while the other snapped a
pistol at him as he gathered himself up and rushed
| into the water to save himself While he was in
| the water the aforementioned individual fired the
pistol at him but missed. The copntryman re-
NAMED in the water some time, during which the
assaulting persons cursed him; but at length,
through alarm, is supposed, they mounted their
horses and left him to pursue his way. The coun-

The STATE OF CALFoRSIA.- We publish in an
other column further details Of the recent intelli-
gence from the State Of California, which will
be read with interest.
The political reader cannot have failed 10 notice
the fact that the State s politically all that any
Democrat could desirc-the organization OF the
State government being throughout Of a strong
democratic cast, as we'll in its local as in its Con-
gressional representaton-whilst in all that relates
TO what has been made the absorbing topic Of the
day. nobody at the north, certainly, could hope for
or expect more In this respect, its progress from
the condition of quasi territorial to that OF State
government has left no room TO question the
soundncss and safety Of the policy OF non Inter
ference in the strictly local and municipal affairs
of the people Of this and all other parts OF the
newly acquired territory. The result has been in
this instance IL will prove TO be in regard TO all
the rest Of that territory, all that the most stringent
legislation on the part Of Congress could hnve
achieved, and more than verfes the confident pre-
dictions Of those who have asserted for the people
Of the Territories in the face of all sorts OF misrcp
resentation and perversion, the right which belongs
10 the people, under our free institutions, TO gov
ern themselves, without interference from without.
A continued adherence TO principle, which has
quietly but surely effected such results, Is all that
is required TO bring California into the Union;
and il is TO be hoped that in what remains to be
done, to consummate that result, nothing may be
be attempted that may have tendency to retard
it.-Aibany Argus.
