Ernm Lower California.

Since our last we have received highly
importance intelligence from Lower Cali
fornia. We are glad to learn that, that
territory has become a Republic and thus
released from the tyrannjcal and oPPres-
sive yoke of Mexico. On the 9th of No
vember, battle was fought at LA Paz be-
tween Col. Walker and the MeXicans,
which resulted in the defeat Of the latter
and the establishment of the Republic.
Viewing the mineral and agricultural
wealth, and the commercial resources OF
the Republic Of Lower California, she
will, we think, compare layorabIy with
her sister Republics.
The seat of Government, for the presen,
is at St Lucas, and the following are the
officers;
Erecmirc-Prcsident, William Wal
ker; Secretary OF Stale, frederick Emory;
Secretary of War, John II. Jarnagn; Sec
rotary of the Navy, Howard A. Snow.

the old one must be enlarged and impro-

same, the probable cost Of building, &c.

the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, by
which passengers from Wheeling will
breakfast at Cumberland, and leave that
place at 5 o'clock, A. NJ, instead of 10!

for the Valley will thus save day, by
reaching Harper's FefFy in time to take
