and we are bound % expose the inu,ty, Il Do. the
danger, of making statements 80 FIX removed
from the authority OF reality and OF fact Ano-
ther subject Of interest connected with Caiiior-
mia, is the increase Of crme in tt 1t region. The
atrocities perpetra.ea IN this new State ara chilling
10 the sensibilitss Of civilized society and We oan
well account for that summary exercise OK Jissico
which outraged and alarmed popa'a''oh
sppy in certain cases, iE view Of barbsnnes am
cruelties, wh.ch the reguliriy deiegeteo "a" oi
the land cannot prevent nd seems sardy In rUcisn-
ing. At Sonora, for instance, editor, with two
or three ohs assistants, is shot in cold hlaei, and
the perpetrators of such diaboical deeds appear to
do their work with impunity--neithsr the law nor
the common convention Of the people for public
safety nerposng any obsta 10 to the recurrence Of
such murders. There is no doubt that California
is the theatre for the wckejness Of thousands who
have respect for property for human life or for
the commandments Of the decslogue. These are
terrible scourges to that country full Of kope
and so full of energy and enterprise; and The sober
and industrious citizens Of that State should first
address themselves, for the sake Of public security
and the general prosperity, to the task Of purging
the land Of its wors. evil and an increasing one.
From Chilli and Peru We learn that railroads are
making rapid progress in public favor-a very graft
flying fact for the consideration of the wordsince
1t argues we'll for the future of that portion
Of South America. Another piece of intelligence of
much interest is, the announcement thro 1gh our
correspondent Of an arrival ut Lima Of vessel,
with cargo Of Chinese laborers, whose services
have been sold at high premium. Our readers
will take this fact in connection with the latter part
of Henry Clay's letter, which We now pub
lish, particularly pertinent to the subject
Mr.. Clay's letter, though written sometime
ago, contains many valuable suggestions, and has
been the theme Of discussion in Jamaica and the
British West India Islands, and in many parts of
South America The Chinese emigrants have a
remarkable power, from their trust-wor.hiness,
their systematic application and their industry.
Indeed, they seem now about to commence some
great work Of Providence with to the coorcd
or African race, whose manifest Destiny" accord
ing to statistics, to be to be extnguished on
the soil of white men, where nature does not permit
them long to exist in state Of freedom-or to re-
people Africa, and turn the soil of that benight-
ed country to account, fer their own happiness
and the purposes Of civilization. We said, some
months ago, that California in time, is likely to
blend the Chinese qualities Of industry and persevc-
rance with the enterprise Of the Yankees, out Of
which may spring society new to the United
States, in which Oriental luxury win go hand in
hand with commercial greatness Already, the
Chinese the best lsborers in California and are
even now transplantipg to the soil Of the new
world the arts which have lain secret within the
walls Of the Celestial Empire for centuries. a
manufactory of China ware has already been COM
mcuced in California ard this is but incipient step
to the introduction Of other manufactures hereafter

Mr.. Clay does not include in i.s survey the proba
blhties Of the efee. OF Chinese emigration upon
California, but the piercing intuition Of his mind
has contemplated a very important change in the
history ofhuman labor, particularly with respect TO
the African race-snd We again commend his views
to those of our readers who have no, ye. examined
his interesting letter.
We have from New Granada some later intelli-
gence, confirming the accounts recently received, |
with reference to the distracted state Of that repub
lie. Horrible atrocities arc recordel as having
sprung out Of the political agitation and we have
reason to believe that the present govern men. are
either afraid Of those who committing such cat

perpetratipg them. Private dispatches received
