some four days or less. We really did not expect
such occurrence.

General Wysocki, one OF the Hungarian
Heroes.


The Poles in exile, and especially those who re-
side in England, are much grati6ed by the arrival
of General Joseph Wysocki, who, being confined
in kutaya, in Asia Minor, recently came to Eng
land on board the same steamer with kossuth
They are gratifed not only with seeing their be-
loved chief, but are happy TO see him free among
themselves, with the hope that this countryman Of
theirs Of the most able generals who fought in
Hung sry land the commander chief Of the Polish
legion will now be useful to the cause OF his coun-
Try and humanity. In 1915, Wysocki belonged to
the deputation sent by the Poles to the Hungarian
government, offering their services, and wishing to
form Polish legion, which offer was accepted, and
Wysocki, at the head of the first detachment Of
the first night Of their arrival went to storm the
fortress, along with some newly formed corps Of
Hungarisus. Although their attempt was fruitless,
the Polish legion, by their bravery and courage in
this diff suit position, earned the general approba-
ton of the Hupgar government, army, and
population Of the town. From this moment the To-
gion, after becoming stronger in numbers, and get
ting more military knowledge, rgnally distinguish
cd Itself during the struggle, their commander
giving them the best example. A summary Of the
battles in Hungary, in which Wysocki, at the
head Of the Polish legion, took part, will show
forcibly the services be rendered to the cause He
fought twice under the walls Of Arsd, at Solnok,
Hstuan, Bitzko, Trasheg, WAtzo, Mad Szarlo, Co

battles be rose from major TO general, and became
commander Of the 9th corps Of the hungarian
army, to which the Polish legion also belonged
since the victory over Austrians obtained at the
battle Of Mishkoletz. After the unfortunate end
Of the Hungarian war, General Wysoch entered

Lands in California for Hsngdrians.
As a subscriber to your valuable paper, am well
acquainted with the interest you have manifested
in behalf of the noble Hungarian patriots and their
cause, and request you will do them the favor to
publish in the HrGld, that all may know the fact,
that the City Council of San Diego have set apart,
and reserved from sale, 5000 acres of land, which
can be purchased by them any time during the
present year.
The land in question, is of good arabic quality,
and well adapted for gardening aud vineyards.
The land belonging to the city has been offered for
public sale, by the city authorities, and large
quantity is disposed of daily to actual settlers; and
as it would all doubtless be sold within year,
petition Of the citizens was presented to the Coun-
Gil, asking them to reserve the above amount for
the period as above stated.
The price asked for the land is but two dollars
an acre 10 those DESTROYS of improving this land
which, in view of the high price paid for vegeta-
bles &c, is comparatively nothing.
| hope my unfortunate countrymen Will avail
themselves of this, indeed, liberal proposition 1t
was conceived for their benefit, and will be faith
fully carried out

the safest harbor in California, with a elm ate per-

understand that the Committee on Internal I'm.
provem nts are about asking the House of Repre-
sentatives power to send for persons and papers
in relation to the enquiry relative to the resump.
ton of the Delaware and Hudson Canal. 1t is be-
eved that the State has great interest in the pro-
per consideration and settlement of this question
1t Ii well known that the dividends of this com
pany are larger than any other company in this
country, and the terms upon which the resumption
are to be made are favorable to the State. The
project will be carefully examined, and q report
will shortly be made which will expose the mode
by which the commonwealth can become invested
with the entire work The annual reports that
are made to the Legislature, contain but part OF
the facts connected with the business OF the COM
pany. Besides, the company has way OF its own
in making up accounts, which needs looking into.
will keep you informed on this subject.
The tariff resolutions have been debated to-day
in the Senate by Senator Sanderson, and in the
House by ]. Ellis Boham, both democrats, and
both taking radical ground against any modihca-
ton of the present tariff The subject has attract
ed large attendance OF prominent democrats from
different sections of the State, among whom OBJ
serve Gen. Moorhead, Gen. Cameron, ex. Governor
Porter, John M. Read, and Col. James Page. This
morning vote was taken in the House on the in-
definite suspension of the motion asking for the
printing of Is 900 in English, and 600 in German,
Of the reports of the special committee on Dob
bins Tariff resolutions, which was carried by 81
yeas to 80 nays il would appear from this vote
that the tariff men have great confidence in the
force of resolutions and reports of Legislature,
or in their effect on the present Congress.

the lady, who is charged with foraication is held
in $50. Although there can be no doubt of the

that we are very like the wicked in this old city,
