AFALsE ALARM.-On thorough investiga-
ton, we find that the story first appearing in
the New York Express, saying that the Sc
crctary of the Interiors recent visit to New
York, had reference to alleged frauds or NAL
practices of the head of some Government
Bureau in this city, and his brother, also a
Government employee in Washington, with
reference to land warrants, is wholly without
foundation. No such public officers are sus-
pccted by any branch of the Government
here, of any such conduct. 1t is equally un-
true that frauds in the purchase Of goods for
the Indian Bureaus purposes, have been dis.
covered, or arc suspected.

FRANcE.-While the greatest political edi-

land and France to unite in the most prompt
measures possible to convince the Gar OF
their determination to resist his insulting de-
mands, they have nevertheless coupled their
articles with the strongest arguments against
war. The Constitutional declares that France
would derive from peace more advantages,
and would receive from war less damage,
than any other people. The great Napoleon

SOLAR EcLIpsE IN lS5i.-On Friday, the

MlLLIoSAIREs IN CALFoRNlA.-Some OF
the largest incomes in the United States are
now enjoyed by gentleman of San Francisco,
who, four years ago, were far from being rich.
1t is said that the annual income Of Samuel
Brannon, Esq, is over two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars; whilst that OF J. l.. Folsom,
w. D. NJ. Howard, and several others, is but
little, if any less. These large estates have
been made within the last three or four years,
by the rapid rise Of real estate in and about
San Francisco. In IS47-45 lots were pur-
chased for $l5 or $40, which are now worth
over 100000. On the chief business streets,
in favorable locations, ground is worth from
$500 to 81 900 per front foot, exclusive of
the improvements.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY-The London cor

From Vienna, July nth, We learn that the

ports that the measures taken by the Rus

IA The Washington Union undertook to
read the New York Evening Post out Of the
Democratic party on account Of its Freesoi-
| ism, and the Post has ever since been detying
the Washington organ and giving it some of
the handsomest and best directed licks that
ever were planted in the breast of an adversa-
ny. The New York Express thus points out
the difference between the Post and the
Union:
Why should the Evening Post echo the
Union! The Post has twenty times the pow,
or. 1t speaks for a great body of the Demo.
crazy, in the greatest State of the Union,
and that Democracy responds 10 what it says.
II Tires upon itsey-thc proceeds of its own
Observation-Disclosures, but for Federal patron
age, the "organ" could scarcely exist at ALL
The Post is thus the real organ of what is n
public opinion; whereas the Union represents
the political players in Washington, who
have to do with, and can there know but very
little of what public opinion really is. The
Post feels its strength, and thus cuts into the
Union with Il Damascus blade.
