the case is concluded, the owner (even if finally
successfully will find that the reclamation costs
more than it comes to. An open refusal to

such shutting and shameful evasion.

How thew talk

The New London Comm Chronicle referring
to the report of the attempt to conquer and
annex Lower California, snorts as follows:
We certainly hope there is no truth in these
statements, and we have no reason to believe
there is. If there is to be no end to these ex-
tensions Of this Union, by fraud or otherwise,
we shall ourselves begin seriously to doubt
either tie possibility or the desirabeness of at
tempting to maintain the inviolability of the
Confcderacy. The curses Of all posterity will
light upon the politicians, who for sinister rca-
sons Of their own, permitted Texas to bring her
firebrnnd into our midst, and thus opened the
way for the interminable extension Of our terri
tory over new regions, while that very net has
torn the old Confederncy into embittered fac
tons that bid fair to Dissolve the fairest fabric
ever erected for freedom to reside in"

H We have received the first number Of n
new paper published at Suffolk Va, under the
title Of the Virginia Southron, and if the promise
of its first number be kept, it will prove most
valuable accession to the reading community of
that section of the State The editorials are
characterised by much ability, and selections
made with great Judgment.
A. w. SrARKE and D. j. GooDwrS are its
editors and proprietors and the following ex-
tract from their sautntory proves that though
protesting Democratic principles, they intend
rendering their paper true TO its title, by max
ing Southern Rights paramount to party ties.
We will allow them to speak for themselves,
for they speak as Virginians should:
"Upon one question. however, we hope there
Is no difference Of opinion. at least in this acc
ton ofthe old Domn cn-that Wings and Demo
Gratis are alike united and r,solved to resist, at
"eyerv hazard and to the last extremity" the
unhalIowed inronds upon our sacred rights BY
the Northern section of our Union. We have
no sympathics with people, who trampling in
the dust the consecrated charter Of our liberties
and regardless Of the fraternal ass ociations of
the past, strive, by every possible means, to
render us craven menials at the footstool of
Northern aggression We this day raise the flag
of Southern rights and Southern institutions, and
are willing to stand or fall in its defence"
We place the Southron on our exchange list
with much pleasure and trust that it may strike
many good blows for the Old State Rights doc

RuNan.sm has rsared iis head in Washington
to an extent thst demands the promps AID ef-
isctus ntsrposition OF the authorities. to secure
the safety Of life and limb 10 peaceable eitixsns
or unsuspecting visiters.
For the last two weeks series of the most
sillainous outrages have been perpetrated, by
prowling rufiians armed with slupg-shot;" and
scarcely night now passes, in which similar as
saults are not rsported--in several instances re-
su ting most dangerously to the sufferers.
The following statements in reference to this
matter we extrsct from the correspondence Of
the Baltimore Clipper-and several others have
also been detailed in our hearing: $500.
Not long since, young man, while In the
neighborhood of Fifth and streets, was knock
ed down by ruffians. On the night preceding
Christmas, a black man, on the west side OF the
Capitol grounds, was Frustrated by the blows
OF two rowdies. A week ago, Billy Matthews,
yellow man, was killed near Georgetown. On
Monday night, young Mr.. Flemming was seri-
ously injured by robbers, and since that time,
Mr.. John Hutchinson an elderly gentleman, was
dangerously wounded by black fellow. The
sufferers, from what we can learn, were alto
gether inolfensve, and were the victims Of plum
derers. These outrages do not show that per-
sonal safety can be relied on, especially on by
ways; and therefore citizens may be compelled
to carry deadly weapons for their defence. Not
unfrequently we. hear the discharge of firearms
IN our streets, " hich it seems difficult to prevent
Perhaps, when some poor mortal dies in conse-
quence Of being attacked by villains. and when
they shall have had time to depart for Scuba or
California" reward will be offered for their APP
prehenslon, that they may atone to the offended
law! 1t is possible that all these outrages are
committed by the same party who are literally
enjoying the freedom of the city," and without
dispute ,s' .-s
Now, the existence Of such state of things
in the very heart of the metropolis of the United
States, is not to be tolerated--and equally af-
fects the credit Of this city, and Of the country
These outrages arc doubtless perpetratcd by
few depraved and desperate rufiians, and ener-
getic action ought to be taken, by increasing the
number and efficiency of the police, or institut-
ing patrol as an adjunct to that force, to ferret
out the villains, and bring them to condign pun
ishment
We would respectfully invite the attention of
the intelligent and energetic Mayor Of this city
to the pressing necessity of taking this matter
in hand. Otherwise, aversc as we are to what
We ordinarily deem the cowardIy practice Of
carrying weapons, we shall feel bound to coun-
sci all whose avocations carry them abroad
late at night to prepare to treat these slung-
! gentry with shot of another kind. iei
