Prospect Of a War in California.

The recent account OF the diIflcui
ties aud fights with the Indians ZEN
der it almost certain that there IS a
concerted movement on the part CT
the Indians on the border, which will
give trouble to the authorities Of the
State and the Union. Tpe Alta Cal
Fifornian, on the authority ofJudge
Marion, VINO is said to be particular
~ well Informed on the subject, es-
Inmates the tribes making hostile
demonstrR tions, as numbering prob
apiiy seven thousand, spread through
the mount ains pesween the Toulumne
and the pan Joaquin. They lave
intercomInunications through the
mountainIpasses, by Which they will
he able tp concentrate the greater
part Of their force upon whatever
point the Americans may atta4k.
The Alta Californian says much tro4b-
lie is anticipated. The mountain
tribes are III sufficient numbers to
keep at bay any weak parties who
may march against t hem. Being
thoroughly acquainted with the
mountain passes, they possess great
advantages over most Of the whites,
who are disposed to take part in the
foray against them. The State au-
thorities are making every exertion
to meet the emergency. A bill has
been introduced into the Legislature,
to raise 100000 by loan to provide.
for the equipment and support of
the expedition for the de fence. Both.
State and United State is troops were
preparing for an expedition against
the savages.

A Glance at D@potism

A paragraph is going the rounds
Iof the papers that ten thousand Rus
Sums of the first families of the En-
pire, have applied to the autocrat for
permission to visit the Worlds Fair
at London, We have no doubt that
the statement is substantially true.
BY the laws of the Empire, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin, no Russian can
leave the country without the per-
mission Of the sovereign; the license
may, at any time be revoked. This
simple fact is a practical illustration
of the vast influence between the
effect Of an absolute and aEfree gov
ernment on the personal liberty of a
subject or a citizen. An American
would consider himself slave, if he
could not come and 60 when he
pleased. Surprising the fifty thou
sand who intend visiting the World
Fair, had to apply to President Fill
more for permission to leave the
country; and suppose that the penal
ty, in case any one went abroad with
out the permission, forfeiture of his
property what an excitement and
agitation there would be! We rarely
prize the inestimable blessings Of
liberty as We should. Freedom is
here so universally diffused, that
like the air we breathe, we scarcely
member its existence; and it is only
IN supposing ourselves deprived of it,
tina tive areable properly to estimateit.
Let US thank heaven, at ID asst,
that we do not live In Russia.

From Geld R1:DE::-The Chesapeake
returned from Gold Bluff on Saturday,
and from the number Of pas sengefs
who re turned in her, the pa bic will
getthe impression that the fortune
ior all, which was supposed to be In
that particular locality for Il e mere
picking up, is not OF as golden a ma
ture as was anticipated.
From one Of the passenger Of the
Chesapeake we learn that tai Bank
in the vicinity of the Bluff, and for
several miles north and south Of it,
contains large quantities Of black
sand, in all df which may be found
what is termed .sc;de gold sbut in

ing separated from the sand by the
ordinary process of washing, and
that mining can only be made profit

companies aided by such machinery
or apparatus as viii enable them to
assay Of precipitate by acids.
Our informant also extended his
examinations to the Bluff, but his
Impressions were anything but salts
factory He EXPRESSES the opinion,
however, that the same obstacle to
success presents Itself there, as in the
case of the sand found upon the
beach, and that the whole underta-
king will ere long be abandoned be-
cause Of the expense and labor at
tending the separation Of the gold
from thetoreign substance with w.iich
it is found to be SO thoroughly mixed.

Death of o Poor Debtor,

The infamous barbarity to which
a poor man not able to discharge q
pee pniary obligation is liable at the
hands of a soulless creditor, where
the law for imprisonment for debt
prevails, is painfully Illustrated by
the following tragic ccurrence in
Boston:
@yohn Jay Bradley, a man of liber.
al education, Greek scholar, and
formerly an editor of a paper, died
in Boston jail on Thursday, where he
had been confined for a week past
for debt. He was in the last stage
Of consumption when sent to Jail,
and could scarcely get up the steps
for weakness. The creditor peremp-
torily refused to release him unless
the money was paid. Deceased had
certain rights in property which were
not available at the present time.
which prevented his swearing out
under the poor debtors act unless he
assigned them to his creditor. He
never attempted to get released, and
and was little insane. His father
was applied to, but he refused tc in
1nefe mad been a quarrel
between father and son, but it does
not appear that the former knew full
y of his sons condition. The cred
ltof must q, nave lmblbed all the spirit
Of Shylock to send dying man to
sndi ms days In a Jail for a debt of
