THE STRENGTH OF TuRKEY.-Now that there is
a strong probability of war between Russia and
Turkey, it will be gratifying to know that the
latter can make very respectable show oi
strength, even when compared with the colossal
military establishment of the Czar cores
pondent of the Alta says:
The Sultan can now bring into the field force
of 900 men; a new levy Of 80 900 is being
raised. They have able General in command
on the Danube; their army officered by French,
and their navy by Engishmen. The Egyptian
fleet, and subsidies have arrived at CONSTANT
nople, and the viceroy of Egypt, Mebas Pacha,
offers $4,000 men more. Aid they will of course.
have from all the followers of the Prophet. Tu-
mis- and Morocco can furnish contingent. The
Schah of Persia offers large army, under his
personal command. Turkey has, it is said, S0,-
900 men, and full supplies of munitions, within
len days march of the Circassians and con-
junction with the gallant countrymen of Scha-
myl, can be easily affected. The worlds chi
valric sense of right, has been outraged by the
conduct of the Gar. The Sultan has won the
symPathies of Europe and America by his liberal
policy, devotion to the advancement of his peu-
pie, and by the gala 1t stand taken with regard
to the Hungarian refugees. While the cowardly
shuff1ing of England and France. in allowing
themselves, i'll effect, to be bulied by the Gear,
exasperating their own people, but adds to th,
popular feeling in behalf of The Turk.

A ssafe Convention.

We perceive that some of the papers below
are beginning to agitate the Convention Ques-
ten again. We are under the impression that
there will be but little opposition to the SUBJ
mitting the question of "Convention" or ''No
Convention TO vote Of the people, just so soon
as the requirement contained in the following
resolution, passed by the hast Democratic State
Convention, shall have been complied with
Resofred, That we recognise to the fullest ex-
ten. the principle that all political power exists
in the hands Of the people, aDd that constitu-
tions and laws are but the expressions Of the
popular Will. Therefore depfecate any
change of the Constitution OF this State, Other
than by amendments, until such an amendment
shall have been Incorporated as shall guarantee
to the people, that the constitution prepared 10y
convention for lis shall be Submitted to
tie people for their ral!fcation or rcjection
At present there is no provision in the Consti-
tuition providing that Cons,i tuition framed by a
Convention called for that purpose shall be sub
United TO the people for their approval or rejec-
ton, before it becomes law. On the contrary
as the case now stands, the instrument prepared
by such Convention is the law Just so soon as it
is passed by that body. whe,hcr it be snch
wond be approved by majority OF the people
not. Thus Constitution, odious to nIne-
'enths of the people at large, might, by few
accomplished wire-workers, be fois:ed upon us
and made the law Of the land. No such risk as
people against any such trick that the resolution
was passed, When this objection is removed
many persons heretofore opposing the Conven-
ton moy ement, will doubtless be fonnd warmly
advocating that measure.

within sixty days when our stocks will be heavi-

upon season Of scarcity and consequent hisl,

than two months consumption on hand, to en-

THE RAINS ARE CoMING-A SIGN-We have
had several days of cold and chilling rain during
the week, although yesterday the sun shone out
clear and bright For some weeks various signs
have been announced in the papers as having
been observed, and all of which indicated tha,
the rainy season was near at hand. Hence we
too have looked about us for sign. seeing that
the people love 'signs and wonders" And we
discovered one clearly proving that the rains are
not far off. 1t will be recollected that we had
no ram through all the summer months--in fact
we have had none worth the name since last
spring. and every body knows that calm al

ply 'oiiow very long dry spell. 1t has never
been known otherwise. So look around. or the

INCREASE OF CRIME.-There has been most
startling increase of crime in California during
the past two weeks, attributable alone we fear
to the facility with which criminals are permit
ted to elude the punishment that should attend
their crimes. No less than fifty or sixty mur-
ders have been committed within the past six
weeks or two months, and yet not one of the
assassins has been punished by the Courts There
must be failure to render justice somewhere,
either on the part of the Judges the jurors, or
this disgracefu state of things never would exist

just before leaving the valley, that party of the
Rogue River Indians had made a descent upon
a ranch near Sheep Rock in Shasta Valley, and,
after burning the buildings, carried of some ten

an intimation of the course the Indians intend
