The CouRrs OF CALAvRAs CoUN-
TY.-Fully impressed with ne idea that
a correct administration of Justice by
the Courts lavs ut the formation of all
our rights, and that the peoDle ought to
watch narrowly the proceedings of their
judicial tribunals, and be ke)t constant
iy informed Of the manner il which the
laws are administered, it is our inten-
ton to lay before the public from time
to time such Of the matters transacted
in tire several courts Of the County as
we may deem Of interest to the people.
Besides our Justices Courts, whose
jurisdiction is confined to their several
townships, we have four separate and
distinct tribunals, whose jurisdiction
extends over the whole County.
They are as follows: the Probate
Court the Court Of Sessions, the Coun-
ty Court and the District Court. The
times of holding the several terms have
already appeared in our columns.
The Court of Sessions has been in
session during the past week, and is
constituted as follows: Hon. William
FowIe Smith, Presiding Judge; S. d.
Bah, Esq. and J. Z. Scribner, Esq,
Associate Justices.
The Grand jury have been in atten
dance, and have found bills Of Tndict-
RseHs against Peter J. Jewell, for steal
ing watch; John Green, for horse
stealing; John Donahue and Jose San
tos Rojas, for murder. The two latter
offences were committed at Mokelum-
ne Hill. Judge Carter having been
appointed by the Court counsel for
Green, filed an affidavit and moved for
the continuance of his case until the
next term of the Court, on the ground
of the absence of witnesses material to
the prisoners defence-which motion
was overruled, and the trial set for Fri
day of this week at l, Pm.
Peter j. Jewell having plead not
guilty, was put upon trial before a jury,
H. T. Huggins, ESQ.,, appearing as
c0uncol -, h;S bobolF H. o,,;Jooo~
was entirely circumstantial, and there
was great doubt as to the identity of the
watch which the accused was charged
with having stolen. The prisoner pro-
ing in the county the last eighteen
months, and sustained a fair character
for honesty, integrity and industry. The
jury returned verdict of not guilty.
James L. Trask, Esq, was appointed
by the Court County Clerk, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death Of L.
A. Collier.
The indictments against Donahue
and Rojas being for capital offences,
this Court has not jurisdiction under the
Statute, and the papers will be sent to
the District Court which sits at Jack
son next week, when the accused will
be arraigned to answer the charges al
lodged against them.

Arabic Land in -CaIaEeras.

Arabic Land in CaIaYeraS.-
:~ince our last issue we have Journey
rAOver goodly portion of our county
in nOrthward and westward direction,
.nd were truly surprised at seeing the
vast quantity of arabic land, Suitable
tor all purposes Of agriculture. Of the
existence Of which we had'no previous
conception. AS the foothills of our
mountain range are approached, the
most lovely valleys that it is possible to
conceive greet the eye from the sum-
mits Of the knolls over which the road
passes, spreading out in broad savannas;
or, nesting like some fairy hooks amid
The spurs Of the great sierras that ira
gerse our State fromone extreme to, the
other, seemingly invite the wanderer
there to make his future home.
All these valleys are more or less wa
tered, and the abundance of wild oats
and other heritage now scattering their
ripened seeds upon the unclaimed soil
give sufficient token Of Ohe fertility Of
the land; and the yet green grass and
.unfading shrubs and trees that border
the streams and rWulets Of the bottoms,
arc proof that living springs of pure
water can always be- obtained in album
dance for the ordinary purposes oftarm-
ing. Occasionally, too,. a comfortable
log cabin, or even-a snug frame house,
enbowered in pleasant grove, meets
the eye, with the requisite outhouses,
kralls and other appurtenances ola we'll
to-do ranchero, while his lowing herds
and focks, feeding upon the rich bot
toms and grassy slopes hard by, are
such as to.give the traveller as he passes
afeeling almost Of envy for the posses
sor of the quiet home scenes spread out
before him..
Among the many beautiful spots that
attracted our notice, none created more
pleasant sensations than that of Ion
Valley, situated about twenty miles
from this place, in a West Northwest
9iifecrian -Snreaq out over sn-area- of
location has beentaken up by the enter
Erising settler, IN claims Of ONE hundred
: and.sixty acres each An excellent and
almostlevel wagon road passes through
the valley to. Sacramento, distance of
forty-fve miles, with Branch to Stock
ton, which is but few miles farther,
giving the inhabitants the choice of
markets between the two great depots
of the interior. The majority of the
dwellings in .he valley are substantial
and well built, with~strong Though neat,
fences to protect enclosures from the
incursions Ofcattle: In fact, from the
disposition Of every thing connected
with the various homesteads in Ion, it
would appear that the inhabitants have
not gone there for temporary purposes,
but to establish permanent homes for
themselves and their families. There
is no deficiency of wood for building,
, and other purposes, as is the case IN
: rnaHy portions Of the, State, but the val
ley is dotted here. and there with beau
tifuI groves Of fine oaks, more resem-
bling some carefully kept park than a
recently settled neighborhood., The
great amount Of travel, too, daily pass
ing through this lovely section of our
county, will soon render it one of the
most thriving pastoral and agricultural
communities in California.

News from France.

We surrender considerable space to circum-
stanlial account of the events which marked
the BRIEF struggle consequent upon LOUIS Ma
PoLEoN's act of usurpatlon together with fur
Their details received by telegraph The mar
rative is yet incomplete, though whatever may
hereafter come is necessarily shorn of much of
its interest by the prior knowledge of the
result.
Sufficient has been received to show that
that to base an opinion of the character of the
affair upon the meagre statements which LOUIS
NAPOLEON graciously permitted 10 traverse
the Geographic wires, would be unjust both to
the government and people of France We
have gathered the principal facts published to
day from London journals, which are certainly
not chargeable with partiality towards republi-
canism, and it will be seen that they tell tale
essentially different from that which represents
France as tranquil, OF its people as cordially
acquiescing in the policy propounded by the
President The "order" that prevails is the
order which follows defeat, and the acquies-
cence is of the kind which we call compul-
sory-an acquiescence produced by overwhem-
ing brute force, and therefore sulen and preg-
nant with future danger.
Even the London Times records its convic-
ton that the peace which has been brought
about is superficial and transient, and that it
must be looked upon as the prelude to strug-
gle wider, stronger, more bloody, and more en-
during than has yet been witnessed. LOUIS
NAPOLEON has gone too far to recede. He must
advance to absolutism, or fall and either cir
cumstance involves the catastrophe predicted
| by the Times.
We learn by private letter from Paris that
the number of persons killed during the insur-
rection was much larger than has been reported
in the papers. Two Americans Messrs
MARTIN and STATFoRD---had been killed, and
COL STUART, Of Philadelphia, very narrowly
escaped.

ings were always secret Whether il was intend.
ed by the parties that this right OF selecting coun
sci in the case of the arrest tie trial OF an Amer
lean citizen, should extend further or be broader
than in the Of Spanish subject prosecuted Tor
a similar offence, may be matter OF DOUBT ana con :
trovcrsy The view which the Spanish courts oil
the highest jurisdiction take Of il. may be seen by
the communication of the Royal Court OF Judlca-
ture accompan wing the letter of the Governor Cen
eral TO MIR. Calderon. But, however all this may be-
the general question still returns, whether this night
secured by treaty. whatever il Is, be not Justly
limited to such persons as are at the time IN all re-
spects American citizens, having never voluntarily
changed their domicil or taken upon themselves
new allegiance
In this view Of the case, il might therefore be
asked whether, if MIR. Thrhsher had been a native
born subject Of her Catholic majesty, his trial and
its result would have been different from what they
actually
If indeed Mr.. Thrasher, in his arrest and trial,
did not enjoy the benefits which native born Span
lsh subjects enjoy in like cases, but was more
harshy treated or more severely punished for the
reason that he native. born citizen OF the
United States il would be u clear Of the viola
ton of treaty obligations, and would demand the
interpretation of the Government There exists IN
this Department no proof of any such ext aordl-
nary treatment Of Mr.. Thrasher II may have
taken place In the absence Of all other iniornla-
ton reference is made that point as well as to
all the rest of the case to the letter OF the Governor
General of Cuba to Mr.. Calderon, her Catholic ma
jesty's Minister Plenipotentary to this Govern
ment.
