PRE-EMPTIONS VS.. SCHOOL
LAND WARRANTS.

A protest is published from citizens
of Humboldt county, against the loca-
ton of School Land Warrants conflict
ing with the claims of prc-cmptors upon
the public lands.
The question involved is strictly a lc-
gal one. The act of Congress of 1S41,
under which the State of California be-
came entitled to 100000 acres of land,
and has proceeded to convert the same
into school land warrants, authorized
their location only on the surveyed pub
lie domain They can not be legally
located until the public lands are sec
tionised, the surveys returned by the
Surveyor General, and approved of by
the General Land Office at Washington.
Then the holder of school land war
liant is entitled to go into the Land Of
fee and select and locate according to
the U. S. Surveys, provided the land is
vacant. The consequence is, that all
surveys and locations under State au-
thority, previous to that time, are simp-
ly void and of no effect.
Under the pre-emption laws of 1S41
and of 1858, especially the latter with
reference to California the pre-emptor
has right to settle on the unsurveyed
public domain of the United States-
The result is the pre-emptor settles ac-
cording to law and by right; has legal
entry and possession, and will hold over
the School Warrant whether it was loca-
ted before or after his settlement, if the
land was vacant, or not covered by any
valid Spanish or Mexican grant.
AS the lawyers would say, the pre-
emptor is in by right, and the School
Warrant in wrongfully. The land off,
GERS of the U. S. Government will never
permit few spectators to monopolize
all the best selections of the public do
main in California, to the exclusion of
actual settlers 1t is also violation Of
the spirit of the laws of the U. S. Con-
gress in another respect. After the
public lands are surveyed, before they
are liable to private entry at the mini
mum price, it is necessary that they be
offered at public auction ip the land Of
fee, where the highest bidder is entitled
to purchase, with regard to all land not
covered by valid prescriptions, or which
may not haye been previously selected
for school purposes or purposes of inter-
nal improvement But these latter Sc
lections must be made after the return
Of the public survey, and according tc
the acts Of the United States Congress.

to- MY OLD PIPE.
By U. MILLER.

Adieu! my old jewel, you have troubled
--me~ long; ~
Your phiz has grown black and your
breath has grown strong;
You have been my companion through
many long years,
And you've caused me to shed many
"crocodile tears.''
You have burnt out my pockets, and
soiled my clothes,-
The stencil from your breath gave offence
to my nosc,-
You have caused me the headache, as
we'll as the "blues,''
'Twixt the troubles you've bro't me
there's little to choose.
You have made me feel sick, and often
turn pale,
When drawing the smoke through your
old filthy tail;
Much injury done me in times that have
past,
But your power to enslave me has left
you at last.
No more in my pockets will you over
take rest,
While with life and with reason this
''hombre" is blest;
Nor upon the old mantle-trce ever be
laid,
With "chunk of tobacco" and the
knife's dirty blade.
That We should have travelled life's Jour-
ney SO long,
When your phiz was so black and your
breath was so strong,
In union unbrokcn and friendship so
dear,
question which now very strange
doth appear.
Bat I've secn and I've felt all your
blightings 1T last,
Aud resolved all such friends from nv
presence to cast;
I've no place for you now, let me roam
where | will,
For know that your presence produces
me ill.
Again, my old jewel, I bid you adieu!
There's surely no friendship between nc
and You;
If you come in my way will give you
hard ''hits,''
And as likely as not knock you all into
ttfits"
I will deal on your body full many hare
blows,
I will smash up your tail and I'll batter
your nose:
Your old cindered brains I will knock
out for fun,
And In thrash you most sound for the
evils you've done.
Come all you old smokers, your pipe,
throw away,
Let us have in our lives at least one So
Der day;
On Temperance's Altar let us swea
that we will
Never more use the arced, nor protect III
distiN.

PRESIDENT PIERCE.-In John Van
Buren's speech at Albany, on Tuesday
evening, he referred to the President in
the following terms:
The Democratic party presents itself
now in one of its most alluring aspects.
You have at the head of the National
Government, a young, upright, Jealous
and patriotic President, truly represent
ing the spirit Of the age. The senti-
ments which he has declared in his in
augural address, the declarations which
he has made in regard to the immunities
of citizenship, his uniform professions of
kindness towards our adopted citizens,
the elevated view which he takes of the
destiny Of this Republic--all these make
him the appropriate, as he is the chosen
chief of the great Republican party Of
tie country.

ANNEX ALTON BY COMMODORE
PERRY OF TERRITORY NEAR
JAPAN.

In the news received by the English
Overland Mail, IS published extract
from the North China Herald of July
9th, which adds an interesting item to
intelligence received direct at this port.
The Herald says:
Conformation has reached us private
y that while the United States feet
were in the neighborhood of Napican
(Napakiang:) the Susquehanna and
Saratoga went on a cruise eastward, and
touched at several beautiful islands,
where they distributed live stock. They
also touched at an island named Bonian.
To their surprise, they discovered few
European residents, consisting of Eng
lish, Scotch, Irish and Spanish, who had
left whalers and established themselves
there Among them were about eleven
women. The Governor of the island is
Scotchman. He claims the island as
his own, and has been settled there about
twenty years. He has family of sew
eral children, one of whom was drowned
a few days before the Susquehanna
touched there, in endeavoring to cross
the bar.
"The Commodore has made pur-
chase of piece of LAID containing about
ten acres, for $50. 1t is in good sit
uation, on one of the best sites in the
harbor, and is intended for a Govern
ment Coal Depot. The island is noun
famous, and the harbor excellent, hav-
ing from eighteen to twenty fathoms of
water at the anchorage. Shell fish, such
as Holsters and craylish abound. On
land, plenty of wild goats are to be
found. Plums; bananas, plantains and
other varieties of fruit are abundant on
the island
